RHONY star accuses iconic artist ex-fiancée of sexual harassment and millions of dollars in theft
In honoring Mickalene Thomas this spring as one of Time magazine's 100 most influential people of 2025, 16-time Grammy-winner Alicia Keys called the celebrated American contemporary artist 'a mastermind at conveying poignant messages through striking visuals.' 'Mickalene herself is walking art,' Keys wrote in her paean to the 54-year-old Brooklyn resident. 'She has such a distinct presence and aura that it's impossible not to feel inspired by her. The art and the artist both are bold, fearless, and fierce.' But Thomas' former fiancée Racquel Chevremont, who continued to partner professionally with Thomas following the pair's 2020 breakup, says the artist sexually harassed her, created a 'hostile' and 'abusive' working environment and shorted her out of millions of dollars over the course of their decade-long relationship. That's according to previously unreported court documents obtained by The Independent, which reveal Chevremont wants a minimum of $10 million from Thomas over allegations that include breach of contract, unjust enrichment, retaliation and violations of state and local human rights laws. Thomas's work can also be found in, among other places, MoMA, the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C., and Jay-Z's Manhattan offices. Thomas's 2016 mixed-media rendering of Chevremont, a well-regarded art curator and consultant who joined the Real Housewives of New York cast last year, sold at auction five years later for more than $1.8 million. Messages sent to Thomas's work and personal email addresses went unanswered. Chevremont's legal and management teams did not respond to requests for comment. In a summons and notice filed in New York State Supreme Court on August 8, Chevremont says she is now seeking 'redress for years of exploitation, nonpayment and unlawful conduct.' 'From 2012 to 2022, Ms. Chevremont, who is also Ms. Thomas' former fiancée, contributed immeasurably to Ms. Thomas' artistic and commercial success, acting as a strategic advisor, and liaison to galleries, collectors, and institutions,' the filing contends. 'Despite these work-related contributions, Ms. Chevremont was paid improperly for more than a decade, both as an employee and under a written agreement effective January 1, 2021, as well as for compensation prior to 2021 and for multimillion-dollar deals she negotiated on Ms. Thomas' behalf.' Chevremont was reportedly entitled to a 20 percent cut on sales of commissioned works she helped land. The filing further accuses Thomas of having 'illegally diverted significant funds and business opportunities from her and Ms. Chevremont's jointly-owned entity' to her own LLC. 'In addition to diverting funds and not properly compensating Ms. Chevremont, Ms. Thomas also subjected Ms. Chevremont to a hostile and abusive work environment as well as quid pro quo harassment,' the filing alleges. Following their split, it says Thomas 'repeatedly and improperly pressured Ms. Chevremont to resume their romantic relationship, and ultimately terminated Ms. Chevremont's employment, in violation of New York State and New York City Human Rights Laws, when she made it clear that this would never happen.' Chevremont is asking a judge to award her 'not less than' $10 million, plus interest, attorneys' fees and court costs. While they were together, Thomas and Chevremont billed themselves as ' Deux Femmes Noires,' and used their resources and connections to boost young Black and LGBT artists. The two first met in 2002, began dating in 2011, and were engaged in 2019, on New Year's Eve. Raised in the Bronx, Chevremont has appeared in ad campaigns for L'Oréal, Fila and Benetton. She has two children with ex-husband Corey Baylor, a New York City financier, and became the second-ever LGBTQ+ cast member on RHONY when she signed on for season 15. 'My entire adult life has been about representation and using whatever platform I have to get the voices of queer folks of the diaspora out there,' Chevremont told GLAAD in June 2024. 'What better way to do so if not as a member of this iconic franchise?' Bravo, which produces and broadcasts the reality series, announced at the time that Chevremont would be 'living out a fairytale' onscreen, and would not 'let past rumors from the New York art scene get in the way of her happily ever after." Her current fiancée, motorcycle-riding forensic neuropsychologist Mel Corpus, was dubbed ' ludicrously hot ' by Vogue. 'Mel and I, we've been friends for over 12 years,' Chevremont said in her first RHONY episode. 'We were very single when we got together, but there was a bit of a scandal. There were a few people that were not all that happy.' Chevremont announced her engagement to Corpus on the air last October, flaunting a diamond ring that, as PEOPLE magazine joked, could ' be seen from outer space.' Thomas now has a little less than three weeks to formally respond to Chevremont's allegations.

Louis Rees-Zammit interview: ‘I was wasting my talent in the United States'
In the end, it did not matter that Louis Rees-Zammit had made the active roster of the Jacksonville Jaguars during his 18-month stint in the NFL. It did not matter that, at his previous team, the Kansas City Chiefs, he had been rubbing shoulders with greats of the game, Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce – the latter of whom is currently dating Taylor Swift. The extra attention and added limelight that came with a high-profile switch from rugby to American football did not matter either because, in the end, Rees-Zammit was 'fed up'. Although the 24-year-old holds 'no regrets' on his time across the pond, the Welsh wing is hardly overflowing with positivity about his experience, either. In his first press conference with his new club, Bristol, on his return to the sport he loves, he describes the NFL as 'brutal... ruthless... tough', where he was seeing players 'cut every day'. Ultimately, the seed of doubt was planted in Rees-Zammit's mind at the beginning of his second year in the US and it was one which would not stop growing. In mid-June, after leaving Gloucester and Wales behind in January 2024, Rees-Zammit departed the NFL and returned to rugby. Last week, he was announced as the Bears' latest recruit. 'I just felt that I was wasting my talent out there,' says Rees-Zammit, who has 32 caps for Wales. 'It's very difficult to get into the NFL if you haven't come through the college system. You just don't get the same opportunities as those boys. I wasn't getting many reps and I was fed up when I was practising there. [Rugby] was a good journey but it's one that wasn't finished so I'm excited to carry it on. 'I gave it my best shot and maybe I didn't get the opportunities playing that those coming out of college did. I am very real about it; it probably wasn't for me in the end but there are no regrets. Would I have regretted it had I never done it? I've done it, played a year, and I wanted to come back to rugby. Here I am.' Now, Rees-Zammit has his sights set on Gallagher Prem glory with Bristol, semi-finalists last season. He has only signed a one-year deal, believing it would have been 'unfair' to commit for any longer owing to him having had nearly two years away from the sport. If all goes well, however, Rees-Zammit has not ruled out extending his stay in Bristol. He is invested in Pat Lam's style of play and wants to become 'one of the best players in the world' during his time here. His American girlfriend, a TikTok influencer, is due to move over to Bristol (visa-dependent) and he will be flat-hunting in the city soon. However, he is exactly the sort of name which would prove attractive to rugby's breakaway league, R360, with whom Rees-Zammit has been linked. 'Globally,' he says, R360 would 'definitely' be a good move for rugby. 'We want rugby to be as big as possible – if we can play it on a global stage, then ultimately that is going to be huge,' he says. 'I don't know too much about it to be honest with you because I've been away and I wasn't fully wanting to come back to rugby at the time, but over the past few months, I've heard more. For me, my first rugby game back is going to be in six weeks' time, so my full focus is playing for Bristol and hopefully making the Welsh team in the autumn and going from there.' That first game is Leicester at home on the first weekend of the Prem season. In his NFL days, Rees-Zammit's weight was up to 16st 5lb but he is already in the process of dropping back down ahead of that tussle with the Tigers. He currently weighs in at 15st 7lb but his optimal rugby weight is a touch more than 15st. Interestingly, the extra mass did not affect his top speed, which remained at 23mph. But, given what he learnt about the commercialisation and marketing of sport from one of the world's best, the NFL, it was always either the Prem or France for Rees-Zammit – never Wales – and always, specifically, Bristol. 'It's obviously not great [in Wales],' he says. 'Rugby is so big all around the world but it's just about how we commercialise it and I don't think we've done an amazing job with that. The Premiership and the French leagues have done better than others and that's kind of why I wanted to come back to the Premiership; especially at Bristol, where we have a great media team and great commercial department. It's been tough over the past 18 months [in Wales] but it's about how we can commercialise rugby to get everyone involved in it, all the fans around the world. There are so many fans around the world, if you look at the stats, it's just about how we can make it a global market.' One suspects, wherever he is playing, that Rees-Zammit will be front and central in that.

30 years on: how Tyson's comeback fight after prison set the tone for pay-per-view boxing spectacles
In Las Vegas, 30 years ago, prisoner 922335, not long released from the Indiana Youth Center, boxed an unknown club fighter in a bout that shattered pay-per-view records. Mike Tyson v Peter McNeeley may be, in a competitive field, the most audaciously staged mismatch in boxing history. Its global success, despite only 89 seconds of action and a farcical ending, set the tone for the sport's development in the modern era. Promoted simply as 'He's Back', the contest was Tyson's return after a three-year imprisonment for rape, but the former undisputed heavyweight champion's popularity seemed to have increased. Among those ringside at a sold-out MGM Grand sat Madonna, Nicolas Cage, Jerry Seinfeld, Denzel Washington, Jim Carrey, Pamela Anderson, Eddie Murphy and an alarmingly human-coloured Donald Trump. All in attendance to see something akin to a ritual sacrifice. 'Tyson brought out a crowd unlike anything I've ever known,' says the sportscaster Jim Gray, who covered the fight for Showtime. 'Mike would even say: it goes from billionaires to the pimps and the drug dealers, to the chairman of the board and the highest celebrity. Mike was very proud he attracted everybody – and everybody did come out that night. We haven't seen anything like it since.' McNeeley, the chosen fall guy to help Iron Mike shake off his ring rust, certainly enlivened the buildup. 'I am going to wrap Mike Tyson in a cocoon of horror,' he said, during a barrage of pre-fight bluster that included poetry, bold predictions and lame gags. But it was his brooding opponent who was expected to provide the punchline. 'McNeeley was being billed as an up-and-coming fighter with a 36-1 record, most of his wins by knockout,' says Steve Albert, the commentator who called the fight in the US. 'But when you looked at his list of opponents, you just shook your head.' Even considering the 29-year-old Tyson's long layoff, the gulf in class pointed to dangerous matchmaking. 'You're not going to put Tyson in there with a top-notch contender in his first fight back, but this wasn't a Rocky movie – it was a sanctioned fight,' says Albert. 'It had the feel of an exhibition match, which was a disservice to the fans in the arena, the TV viewers and the media, including us, the ringside announcers. 'Tyson-McNeeley was not only a way to reintroduce Tyson: it was about money and TV ratings. And it was also about seeing Tyson knock somebody – anybody – out.' Fans did not even get to see that. After an in-ring stare down, the underdog kept to his pre-fight promise and rushed at Tyson, swinging bar-room haymakers. He soon found himself on the canvas, but instantly got up and started jogging around the ring. 'He went down, but then he jumped right up like a jack-in-a-box,' Tyson later recalled. 'This guy was skipping around the ring and charging back at me. I couldn't believe this shit.' After a few clumsy exchanges, McNeeley was felled, this time more seriously. 'It was a double left hook, followed by a vicious right uppercut,' says Albert. 'It was vintage Tyson. McNeeley was badly hurt, but he got up … and then came the chaos and confusion.' The abrupt ending involved McNeeley's cornermen piling into the ring, despite their charge being gamely ready to go on, causing a disqualification. The messy finish provoked howls of derision from the crowd. The Nevada commission withheld the purse of the defeated fighter's manager, Vinnie Vecchione, pending an investigation. 'It was the easiest $25m Tyson ever made,' says Albert. 'McNeeley's corner probably did their guy a favour. But after the fight there was speculation that somebody in his camp had made a million-dollar bet that the fight wouldn't last 90 seconds – the official time was 89 seconds of the first round. It just became another bizarre tale in boxing folklore.' The event's promoter, Don King, somehow kept a straight face when claiming: 'This night has been something we can all be proud of.' Sign up to The Recap The best of our sports journalism from the past seven days and a heads-up on the weekend's action after newsletter promotion It was certainly a financial hit, earning a then record $96m in TV income, with 1.52m homes ordering it in the US. 'True worldwide phenomenons have an appeal that it doesn't matter what they're doing,' says Gray. 'Mike still has that appeal. Look at that Jake Paul fight. Tyson is an A-lister, but he has the appeal of everyman; trials and tribulations, redemption … back then, it was him coming out of jail. But everybody loves to see a hurricane. They didn't know what to expect.' McNeeley cashed in on his notoriety with adverts for AOL and Pizza Hut, in which he was knocked out by a slice of stuffed crust. Tyson's comeback continued as a money-making machine but – despite winning two versions of the world title – he never recovered the aura of invincibility shattered by his 1990 defeat by Buster Douglas and his career ended with a series of limp losses. If the victory against McNeeley was ultimately unsuccessful in launching a second great act in Tyson's career, it proved something more instructive: that people will pay to see a spectacle above a competitive contest. It paved the way for Floyd Mayweather Jr v Conor McGregor, Tyson v Paul, YouTube boxers and the modern trend of social media influencers profiting by throwing themselves into the arena. For Tyson, it showed that despite the defeats, the crimes, the personal turmoil, his grip on the public remained as strong as when he burst on to the scene in the 1980s. 'I love Tyson, I've loved him for ever, because he's the most honest athlete I've ever dealt with,' says Gray. 'He knows he has his flaws. He'll take his medicine when he's wrong, he doesn't try to blame others, and he's trying to be better tomorrow than he was yesterday.' In the yesteryear of 1995, Tyson tested his drawing power in boxing's greatest nonevent and he discovered that while he may be fallible as a fighter, his ongoing mystique remained bulletproof. Steve Albert's book A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Broadcast Booth is out now; Jim Gray hosts the podcast Let's Go! and wrote Talking to GOATs.
