He was drafted in the NFL’s fourth round by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after graduating college in 2010. In fact, he broke records—in his first season, he scored 11 touchdowns, a Buccaneers franchise record for most receiving touchdowns in a single season. In 2014, Mike was traded to the Buffalo Bills, and then to the Kansas City Chiefs in 2016 before they released him. But what happened to Mike and what was his cause of death?

What happened to Mike Williams? His cause of death was a worksite accident.

In the late hours of Sept. 5, 2023, reporter Jon Scott confirmed Mike’s death. “Multiple sources have confirmed to me that former Syracuse and Bills WR Mike Williams has passed away following injuries suffered during an accident while working at a construction site,” he tweeted. “The Buffalo native was 36 years old.”

The news is obviously very sad—we never know what could cut one’s life short. Mike’s father, Wendell Muhammad, wrote the description for a GoFundMe to help cover his travel expenses to visit Mike in the hospital. “Mike Williams recently had a major accident at work,” Wendell wrote.

“A steal beam fell on his head causing a massive head injury. As a result of this accident, there was swelling on his brain and swelling on his spinal cord that was ruptured. These injuries resulted in complete paralysis in his right arm as well as his lower body from the waist down.”

Although Mike wasn’t an NFL player anymore, that’s still a debilitating way to go. Wendell continued, “On Friday, Sept. 1, 2023, around 9 p.m., Mike Williams passed out. According to doctors, he suffered from severe breathing problems and had to be rushed to the ICU. The doctors found his diaphragm was pressing on his lungs and subsequently caused complications with his breathing.

“They reported that his lungs were filled with water. The doctors were able to free the diaphragm by pressing on his lungs, removing the water, and allowing him to breathe a little better. Sadly, my son never gained consciousness.” Mike was put into an induced coma, and although doctors planned to wake him on Sept. 6, but he died before that could happen.

It’s unclear what exactly led to his death, although it was definitely due to complications from the work accident on the construction site. Many former players and fans have already shared their condolences for the game-changing wide receiver.

What happened to Krayzie Bone?

Anthony is in the hospital because he suffers from an autoimmune condition known as sarcoidosis. The disease is inflammatory and causes the immune system to overreact to perceived threats, leading to pockets of inflamed tissue called granulomas.

Reports suggest that Anthony had a CAT scan that revealed one of his arteries was leaking into his lung, but surgery designed to stop the problem was not a success.

Now, reports suggest that Anthony is on a breathing machine and has been sedated.

This serious condition is genuinely worrisome, and it’s unclear when or if Anthony will ever wake up from his medically induced coma. As a result of his severe condition, many celebrities and others who knew Anthony well or were even just big fans have offered their thoughts and prayers following the news that he was hospitalized.

“Prayers to Krayzie, man!” LeBron James wrote in a post on Twitter.

DJ Paul, an accomplished musician in his own right, added an even lengthier statement. “Please pray for my brother Kray. We was just in the lab Wednesday recording, having fun, drinking his new IPA. This is unbelievable,” he wrote.

The group has earned its reputation as one of the biggest names in hip hop, and worked with everyone from Tupac to Biggie over the course of their long career in the world of music.

Now, the group’s other members are worried about their friend, and hoping he can pull through following this hospitalization. Sarcoidosis is a serious illness, and it’s one that is difficult to treat because it is a disease of the autoimmune system. The coming days will be crucial in understanding where Anthony’s condition ultimately goes from here, and whether he’s able to make a recovery or not.

Published

on

The legal teams for Abigail Elphick and Ijeoma Ukenta, have said the “Victoria’s Secret” Karen viral video wasn’t about race, as previously assumed.

Just the Gist:

  • Abigail Elphick and Ijeoma Ukenta were involved in a viral TikTok that gave Abigail the nickname “Victoria’s Secret Karen”
  • Abigail’s legal team states she suffers from multiple mental and physical health conditions.

  • Ijeoma sued Abigail and Victoria’s Secret in 2023 for reportedly being “extremely dismissive” during the ordeal.

Since 2020, the term “Karen” has been a social stigma on white women in U.S. society. The term spawned a meme and a character trait, as cases viral videos of white women threatening to call the police and other authorities on strangers who were notably Black or other people of color began emerging on TikTok and other platforms.

In July 2021, Abigail Elphick, a then-25-year-old white woman living in Milburn, N.J., found herself labeled as the “Victoria’s Secret Karen” after chasing a Black woman named Ijeoma Ukenta for recording her behavior in the famed lingerie store.

Two years after their “Victoria’s Secret Karen,” incident went viral, Abigail and Ijeoma filed lawsuits against one another, with Abigail stating the public mislabeled her and her intentions on that fateful day.

Legal filings revealed “Victoria’s Secret Karen” Abigail Elphick has a “long history of medical and psychological conditions.”

By now, millions of social media users have seen Abigail and Ijeoma’s viral TikTok exchange (and if you haven’t keep scrolling!), which involved Abigail hysterically crying as she begs Ijeoma “please don’t record me” and chasing Ijeoma around the store. In September 2023, Abigail and her legal team shared that the truth behind the video is vastly different than what viewers were led to believe.

According to The New York Times (via Yahoo), legal filings show that Abigail, who was quickly labeled Victoria’s Secret Karen on TikTok and other social platforms, was “disabled, with a long history of medical and psychological conditions” when she entered the Victoria’s Secret store.

Abigail’s team argues that her conditions prompted her “mental health breakdown” and that her behavior at Victoria’s secret wasn’t “race-based.” They stated Abigail was upset because she feared she would lose her job and her apartment, as she lives in a residence for those with developmental and intellectual disabilities.

The latter reportedly happened, as court records show Abigail received a call from a stranger threatening to rape and kill her, and other online users demanding she lose her internship as a local school district. The call prompted Tom Toronto, president of Bergen County’s United Way, the company that runs Abigail’s residence, to speak out in her defense.

“She has a disorder. She has anxiety,” he explained to The Times. “She had a meltdown. Then the world we live in took over, and it became something entirely different than what it actually was.”

Ijeoma Ukenta filed a lawsuit in July 2023 against Abigail and Victoria’s Secret.

Abigail’s September 2023 comments were in response to Ijeoma’s July 2023 lawsuit against Abigail and Victoria’s Secret.

On July 6, Ijeoma, a content creator, sued Abigail, Victoria’s Secret, and the store’s security guards. Ijeoma stated in her complaint that the store’s security “were extremely dismissive toward her,” and were “indifferent and nonchalant about her concerns for her safety.”

Amid Ijeoma’s filing, Abigail’s counterclaim accused Ijeoma of “harassment” for discussing her and Abigail’s altercation online.

Since the “Victoria’s Secret Karen” video went viral, Ijeoma has received flack for profiting off the incident.

Ijeoma’s GoFundMe and additional content surrounding her initial video caused many people following the story to raise their eyebrows. Several users, including Kasko Xero Vlogs stated she was using the incident for fame and money. In Abigail’s complaint, her lawyers accused her of making “a job out of preying on individuals from behind a keyboard,” and “inciting hate” online.

Ijeoma and her lawyer, Tracey Hinson, have defended the YouTuber profiting from her experience with Abigail. In 2021, Ijeoma said on X, formerly Twitter, that she was well within her rights to “make $ off MY videos if everyone else is.”

The entrepreneur’s attorney also believed it’s her client’s “right” to discuss the situation however she sees fit, especially after being deemed a liar by many in the Milburn community.

“She knew that in Millburn, New Jersey, she would not be believed,” Hinson stated. “And that is exactly what has transpired.”
