"MStars News" has learned that Houston Rockets star Dwight Howard was under investigation for child abuse but has since then been cleared. According to TMZ, law enforcement sources revealed that Howard's baby mama, "Basketball Wives" star Royce Reed, appeared in Children's Services in the Orlando, Florida, area earlier this year and accused Howard of whooping their 6-year-old son Braylon with a belt, leaving bruises and abrasions to the child's body. The case worker told Reed to take her son to a medical facility to get him looked at and document his injuries. When Howard was questioned by authorities, the basketball star admitted he whipped his son with a belt, but was unaware he did anything wrong. Howard claims belts are a form of discipline that he received when he was younger. Howard's lawyer filed legal papers denying that the basketball player harmed his son with marks, bruises, welts or injuries that resulted in his son receiving medical treatment. Sources revealed that Reed's ex was cleared after Children's Services closed the case. The case workers concluded that Braylon's injuries weren't caused by a belt. But this drama wasn't over, because Howard decided to file legal papers last week requesting for full custody of his son, claiming his ex, "Basketball Wives" star Royce Reed, is an unfit mother.

Sometimes things seem to be going a little too well, and that has most certainly been the case for the Houston Rockets. But star man Dwight Howard is now involved in an NBA child abuse battle, one that's alarmingly similar to Adrian Peterson's case. The Rockets are seen as a top contender to win the NBA championship, but with all this controversy surrounding their team, can they really keep their good spirits and good form going? Rockets fans can relax, with the law declaring Howard as "not guilty" of breaking any rules, according to TMZ. His baby's mother, Royce Reed, made a complaint during the summer, saying he had whipped his son with a belt until bruises were left. He did confess to doing just that, but he claimed he was punished in that manner and did not realize there was anything wrong with the way he had punished his child. Read More »
Eminem has never been afraid to offend ... well, anyone, when it comes to his rap songs. But as Slim Shady has matured, he has tamed it down some, though now it appears he is back with a vengeance, insulting Lana Del Rey, Ray Rice and Adrian Peterson — all in the space of a few days. In the process, his name has been added to the "make them retire" list, but will the lyrically-lit rapper call it quits after insisting he'd punch Del Rey in the face, and will the unwanted NFL duo retire? Eminem mentioned Peterson's child abuse case in one of his latest songs, according to TMZ, saying, "What's makin' you think I need a switch? I'm Adrian Peterson. When he's raging and heated and on the way to go beat his kid ... On the track I spank like he just did." Read More »

After non-stop issues with violence, drugs and generally the law, the NFL cannot catch a break. They're closing in on 1,000 arrests in a little over a decade, which is setting a bad example for the sport. Questions are being asked, such as, could there be something wrong with the league?

It has not been a good time for the NFL or its commissioner Roger Goodell as of late, but it seems that he has the NBA and Adam Silver's support and backing. While Silver has been constantly praised recently, especially for his handling of the Donald Sterling case, Goodell has had the exact opposite, receiving negative comments for a long, long while. However, Silver believes Goodell is doing a "great" job after all, despite recent criticism over Ray Rice and Adrian Peterson and their abuse cases. Read More »
