Travis on Tuesday (Dec. 5) issued a formal statement in response to this decision.

"He suffered a severe concussion and sustained numerous other injuries from the crash."
Despite the apology, Travis is still seeking comeuppance against those he claims mistreated him after the arrest, reports TheBoot.com.

Some of you May be immediately turned off because of my age. I am 82 years young. I have been a country music/gospel music singer all my life. I had hit records back in the 60s. I was the first woman to record a full album with the legend, George Jones in 1959. I had hit records in the 60s. My top 10 record of OLD RECORDS was released in 1963. I have had songs recorded by lots of artist in the country music field. If you go to my page you can look me up. I had hit records with Faron Young and Leon Ashley, as well as singles on my own. I have worked as an entertainer all my life. I released a gospel CD in 2016 called ON THE OTHER SIDE OF LIFE, I wrote 11 of the songs in the album. I hope you will listen to it on YouTube. This song that I have just released calledJESUS IS MY PUSHER I wrote many years ago and had a record on it, but I felt that it was still a viable today and I wrote new last verse for it and gave it a new face and a new arrangement and I hope all of you will like it. I am still doing concerts, still writing and still recording my country and gospel music. I hope all of you will give me a listen and like my new video which will be on cdbaby to be downloaded. Last of all but not least, I am a Christian lady who loves Jesus and I give him all praise for my longevity in life and my music.

The cover also features actress Ashley Judd (an early Harvey Weinstein accuser) Susan Fowler (who exposed wrongdoing by Uber's CEO), Adama Iwu (who spearheaded a campaign to raised awareness of sexual harassment in California state government) and Isabel Pascual (a farm worker, who shared her story of fear and intimidation).
In her first interview since the trial, Swift discussed her decision to report the incident. "At the time, I was headlining a major arena tour and there were a number of people in the room that saw this plus a photo of it happening," she says. "I figured that if he would be brazen enough to assault me under these risky circumstances and high stakes, imagine what he might do to a vulnerable, young artist if given the chance. It was important to report the incident to his radio station because I felt like they needed to know. The radio station conducted its own investigation and fired him. Two years later, he sued me."
Swift was asked what advice she would give to her fans following the totality of the experience. "My advice is that you not blame yourself and do not accept the blame others will try to place on you," she said. "You should not be blamed for waiting 15 minutes or 15 days or 15 years to report sexual assault or harassment, or for the outcome of what happens to a person after he or she makes the choice to sexually harass or assault you."

"Thank you for being so patient with me this year, I can't wait for you to hear what has been the soundtrack to the past year of my life� all of these songs have special memories behind them, and I'm not gonna lie, it feels emotional letting them go, feels like the end of a chapter� I decided to call it by my name, because this is where this chapter in my life ended. it started with somebody else's story, it ended with me finding my way back to myself," the singer continued.
"My album is gonna be available for pre-order this Thursday (Dec. 7), and I'm putting out two instant grat tracks with it�. one is called 'Never Be the Same,' and one is called 'Real Friends.' It's in your hands January 12." See the Instagram post

"Never will I let another human guess my words ever again. Or invite them in my home. That is so hurtful. The most 'ridiculous' part of that is no one knowing my heart when I say things," Gomez posted in her Instagram stories with an image of the seemingly offending passage regarding a giant teddy bear.
"There's a five-foot teddy bear sprawled across the kitchen floor in Selena Gomez's North Hollywood home," reads the relatively innocuous passage. "'I know, I know,' says Gomez, rolling her eyes, acknowledging that the stuffed animal doesn't quite blend with the trio of armchairs nestled in the inviting, marble-accented nook. 'It was a gift, and at first 'I thought, This is so ridiculous, I can't wait until I give it away to another person.' But Gomez, 25, hasn't let go of it -- yet."
Gomez was asked about being the most followed person on the social media platform during a new interview with Britain's KISS-FM posted Tuesday (Dec. 5). Read about that
