Usain Bolt's 'first lady' Kasi Bennett reacts to cheating controversy as Jamaican sprinter lands in London



Star's girlfriend of two years liked two posts on social media which referenced his Rio infidelity


Usain Bolt dances with twerking woman as long-term girlfriend is nowhere to be seen


It looks like Usain Bolt's antics may well have landed him in the dog house. The Olympic champion proved he was fast on and off the track after he was caught on camera enjoying the company of three different women during a weekend of partying in Rio and it looks like his girlfriend Kasi Bennett was not impressed.
Bolt made headlines after WhatsApp photos emerged online showing him in bed with 20-year-old Rio student named Jady Duarte, after the sports star's 30th birthday on Sunday (21 August.) The mother-of-two is the alleged widow of drug kingpin Douglas Donato Pereira, also known as Diná Terror.
In an interview with Extra, Duarte insisted that she was not behind the leak and that the her new-found fame is unwarranted. "It's very negative," she said: "I never wanted to be famous, I'm dying of shame."
Bennett made her thoughts on the controversy clear when she liked an Instagram meme which has a side-by-side image of her and Duarte with the caption: 'When you girl is Selfridges, and you cheat on her with Primark.'
The 24-year-old law graduate drove home her point by liking a tweet from a disappointed fan which read: "@usainbolt you traded your life with a #goddess @kasi__b for a one night fling with someone who will never even come close. I can't."

Meanwhile, the Olympic record holder flew in to London's Heathrow airport on Monday 22 August. Concerns as to his relationship status may be furthest from Bolt's mind, however, judging by comments made to The Telegraph on monogamy in July: 'Every culture is different. Jamaican culture is different, when you look at women and men having more than one... It's different. I've noticed that in Britain, every famous person, as soon as they get famous, they have to get married – like, it's a rule. And I'm like, that's not fair!'
Although no details have been revealed about his visit, it could be his upcoming re-match with Prince Harry.
On 22 August, the flame-haired royal reached out to Bolt to congratulate him on his success and suggested another head-to-head encounter on the track. You may recall that the duo previously raced in 2012 at the University of the West Indies, as part of the Diamond Jubilee Tour.
"Congratulations @usainbolt – now you're officially the greatest you might be ready for a re-run! Happy 30th –H,"Harruy said. To which Bolt tweeted back : "Let's do it. Respect for the birthday wishes,"

Hillary Clinton Gains Double-Digit Lead Over Donald Trump in Key Battleground States

Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton has built up a significant lead in several crucial battleground states, according to new NBC/WSJ/Marist polling released today. Clinton has generated double-digit margins in Virginia and Colorado with 13-point and 14-point advantages over Trump, respectively. The poll also showed Clinton with leads over Trump in Florida and North Carolina. In the Sunshine State, Clinton has a 5-point edge among registered voters. In North Carolina, Clinton enjoys a 9-point advantage. Losses in these states could be devastating for Trump. The Republican nominee’s clearest path to the White House requires wins in Ohio and Florida, where Hillary Clinton has a slight lead, as well as North Carolina and Pennsylvania, where he trails by a broad nine percentage points. Trump has been plagued by controversy since his party’s convention three weeks ago, clashing with the father of a fallen Muslim soldier, refusing to endorse House Speaker...

Former NFL player Darren Sharper sentenced to 18 years in drugging and rape case

The former NFL player Darren Sharper has been sentenced to 18 years in prison in a case in which he was accused of drugging and raping as many as 16 women in four states. Judge Jane Triche Milazzo sentenced Sharper on Thursday. He had pleaded guilty or no-contest in federal court in New Orleans, and state courts in Louisiana, Arizona, California and Nevada to charges arising from the allegations of drugging and raping women. Prosecutors suggested a nine-year prison term for Sharper under a multi-jurisdictional plea deal, but Milazzo rejected it as too lenient in June. The sentence was 15 months short of the maximum. He was also fined $20,000. Sharper pleaded guilty in federal court to three counts of distributing drugs with rape as the aim. He or his friend Brandon Licciardi, a former sheriff’s deputy in neighboring St Bernard Parish, put anti-anxiety drugs or sedatives into women’s drinks so they could rape them, according to a 15-page statement signed as part of ...

Jill Stein on 11 key issues: Where does Green Party presidential candidate stand?

Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein presents herself as a viable alternative this year to the two major-party candidates, who have the lowest approval ratings of any presidential nominees in the past seven decades. Stein, 66, of Lexington, Mass., is making her second bid for president on the Green Party ballot line. The Harvard-educated doctor received almost 500,000 votes for president in 2012, which she boasts is still the record for most votes received by a woman candidate for president in the general election. Stein says she became involved in politics more than a decade ago because she didn't like the country's direction, and had become alarmed about children becoming ill from environmental pollution and unhealthy foods they are provided. She and running mate Ajamu Baraka support a "Green New Deal" under which the government would end dependence on fossil fuels, fight climate change and create millions of new green-energy jobs. Here...
