A$AP Rocky Being Held in Inhumane Conditions in Swedish Jail - TMZ

Exclusive

TMZ

A$AP Rocky is being held in a Swedish jail with shockingly inhumane conditions -- feces hurled about and not cleaned up, wretched food and facilities that are not fit for human beings ... this according to sources with direct knowledge of Rocky's situation.

Our sources tell TMZ ... the rapper is sleeping on a yoga mat with no blankets. There is a prisoner in the next cell with severe mental issues who slams his head against the concrete wall and hurls feces every which way ... feces that are not cleaned up.

The water, we're told, is not clean and the food is not edible ... for the first 5 days A$AP Rocky ate an apple a day, and that's it. 

We're told the facility is filthy and "disease ridden."

As we reported, A$AP Rocky is being held for 2 weeks while prosecutors decide whether to charge him for aggravated assault stemming from a street brawl ... despite a video showing the alleged victim harassing and even physically attacking Rocky and his crew prior to the incident.

There is a treaty -- the Vienna Convention for Consular Relations -- which both Sweden and the United States signed. Under the treaty, when a foreigner like A$AP Rocky is arrested, he has a right to immediately see an official from the U.S. Consulate. Our sources say Rocky asked for the meeting, but when an official from the American Consulate arrived at the detention center to meet him but was squarely denied access -- a clear violation of the treaty.

Our sources say the U.S. official believes he was denied access because Swedish officials did not want him to see the condition inside the facility.

Rocky's team persisted and eventually the consulate official was allowed to see him 2 days later, but only in the presence and earshot of 2 Swedish guards. Rocky and the official could not have a private conversation and they believe it was "a clear intimidation tactic."

Our sources say Rocky's team is trying to get the State Dept. involved to help get him out. So far, the Swedish courts have shut him down. By the way ... court proceedings in Sweden are closed to the public and the media.

Did Debby Ryan Have a Heart Attack? - Snopes.com

On July 6, 2019, fans of actor Cameron Boyce were shocked and saddened to learn that the 20-year-old Disney star had passed away after experiencing a seizure. As celebrities and fans mourned the loss of Boyce on social media, a rumor began to circulate that actress Debby Ryan had suffered a heart attack after hearing the news about her former co-star’s death:

There was no truth to this unfounded rumor, which was widely disseminated by a viral video posted to YouTube by @Dancetayley and titled “Debby Ryan Rushed to Hospital After Finding Out About Cameron Boyce.” The video, which racked up nearly 2 million views within a day of its initial posting, included a number of screenshots of tweets from random people who claimed that Ryan had suffered a heart attack:

None of those tweets originated with verified sources, however, and no credible news outlets reported that Ryan experienced a heart attack.

This rumor likely stemmed from the fact that Ryan’s voice was absent from the conversation immediately following Boyce’s death. While many other co-stars and celebrity friends posted messages to social media mourning the loss of Boyce after the news of his death broke, Ryan’s social media accounts were largely silent. Fans began to wonder why she hadn’t commented yet, and some of them started to claim without evidence that she had suffered a heart attack.

There were, of course, innumerable potential reasons why Ryan didn’t immediately post to social media that did not involve a heart attack. For example, she might simply have taken some time to process the news that her co-star had passed away.

While Ryan didn’t immediately post to social media, she did like a tweet posted by actor Charles Esten, who co-starred with Ryan and Boyce on the show Jessie:

Ryan, who turned off her Instagram comments following Boyce’s death (likely because a large number of fans were continuously reminding her that her friend had just died), also posted a video to her Instagram story of Boyce’s acceptance speech for the Pioneering Spirit award at the 2018 Thirst Gala.

Here’s the full video of Boyce’s acceptance speech. The portion of his speech included in Ryan’s post is transcribed below:

It’s crazy, we can tweet whenever we want and we can use social media and Instagram and make the world a better place, instead of a worse one, which so many people use it for…

We need to use what we have and make the world a better place for other people, other people, people who need us.

Cameron Boyce's last interview paid tribute to his African-American heritage - CNN

In what was reportedly his last interview, the 20-year-old talked to Haute Living about his diverse heritage which included a grandmother who became one of the symbols of the civil rights movement.

The actor's grandmother, Jo Ann Allen Boyce, was one of the "Clinton 12," a group of black students who made history after the U.S. Supreme Court's 1954 ruling in Brown v. Board of Education. which ordered Clinton High School in Clinton, Tennessee, to desegregate.

She recently co-authored a book titled "This Promise of Change: One Girl's Story in the Fight for School Equality."

"Her story doesn't just inspire me ... It hits home with everyone who stops to listen to it," her grandson told the publication.

"She and the other 11 students set the stage for our generation to come together. We have to ensure -- -especially with some of the controversy plaguing us now -- that we continue to push towards dreams that have yet to be realized. Equality in its truest sense."

Boyce also said of his grandmother "She's a huge part of who I am."

"Being African American and Jewish, I have plenty of ancestors and family members that I can look to for strength, and more importantly, for a grateful outlook on life," he said. "Every one of them clawed and scratched for my sister and I to be in the position we're in today."

The Disney Channel star died in his sleep after a seizure resulting from an ongoing medical condition, a spokesperson for his family told CNN Sunday.

During his life Boyce was involved in several philanthropic endeavors, including the Thirst Project, a nonprofit that provides communities with safe drinking water.

10 things you might not know about Cameron Boyce

He told Haute Living he was merely carrying on the legacy given that "there's a long line of difference makers in my family."

"I'm following in the footsteps of some really strong men and women who have showed me what it means to give back; it's the greatest way to fulfill yourself," he said. "Every time I talk to someone who shares that similar passion, we talk about how there aren't many feelings more euphoric. Changing someone else's life positively changes yours for the better as well."

The young actor wanted to inspire others, he said.

"Many people have the heart to give back, but a lot don't know how to," he said. "I try to be the bridge for those people -- whether that means getting them involved in one of my campaigns or inspiring them by showing them a blueprint of how to get others engaged."

Disney Star Cameron Boyce Suffered from Epilepsy - TMZ

Disney star Cameron Boyce, who died in his sleep Saturday, suffered from epilepsy ... TMZ has learned.

As we reported, Cameron, who starred in "Descendents" and "Grown Ups," suffered a fatal seizure. We're told his roommate found him unresponsive and when paramedics arrived they could not revive him. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

We're told Cameron had been dealing with seizures triggered by his epilepsy. Nonetheless, he was able to work and achieve greatness ... in both TV and movies.

Law enforcement sources says they have characterized it as a "natural death." As bizarre as it sounds -- a 20-year-old dying of a seizure -- the term "natural" refers to conditions in the body which result in death.

Cameron was a working actor since age 11, when he first appeared on the Disney Channel. His credits include "Shake it Up," "Austin and Ally" and "Good Luck Charlie." His breakout role was playing Luke on "Jessie," which ran for 4 seasons.  

Cameron's family said, "The world is now undoubtedly without one of its brightest lights, but his spirit will live on through the kindness and compassion of all who knew and loved him."
