Cause of death revealed for pregnant model found dead in luxury Los Angeles apartment: 'It's a very monstrous act'



The cause of death has been revealed for a California woman who was found dead at her luxury Los Angeles last month. It was also discovered that the Los Angeles model was pregnant at the time of her sudden death.

On Sept. 12, Maleesa Mooney was found dead at her luxury apartment in Los Angeles.

This week, the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner's Office listed her cause of death as "homicidal violence."

The cause of death for the 31-year-old model and real estate agent had previously been listed as "deferred," pending an investigation. Mooney's sister said she believes that the cause of death was deferred because the model was beaten so brutally that it was difficult for officials to determine her exact cause of death.

Mooney’s sister, Jourdin Pauline, told KTLA, "I can’t imagine what my sister went through and it pains me to even think about it."

"The police haven't said anything to us yet because of the ongoing investigation, but from what we saw at the coroner and mortuary, my sister was in a struggle and it's devastating," Pauline told People magazine. "It's a very monstrous act. I wouldn't wish this on anyone."

"A lot of things just don't make sense to us. We're just really trying to get answers. It is horrible," the 24-year-old sister added. "We had to have a closed casket for her two days before her birthday."

Mooney's laptop, phone, dirty laundry, and favorite purse were reportedly missing.

Pauline said of Mooney's apartment, "It was honestly so chilling. I've never experienced anything like that before. Different parts of the carpet were ripped up and the refrigerator was gone. Whatever happened that night was very scary and traumatic. I know she was so scared. I just hate to think about it."

Mooney had just moved into the apartment a month earlier.

Pauline also revealed that her sister was two months pregnant when she died, and added that Maleesa always wanted to be a mother.

"She was super excited and I know she really wanted a kid, and it's something that she has always talked about," Pauline stated.

The sister said Maleesa's boyfriend is "devastated."

Pauline said her mother retrieved her daughter's phone call records and dialed the last number she called. Someone allegedly answered the phone and attempted to sell Mooney's phone for $100.

"Whoever had her phone was trying to sell her phone," Pauline explained. "And her last call was made to the person who was trying to buy her phone. So my mom calls the last number because she's like, 'Okay, we can't get in contact with her, so maybe this person knows.' And the person on the phone was like, oh no, someone was just trying to sell me this iPhone for a $100.'"

The distraught sister is frustrated at the lack of details about the potential suspect that the police have released in the near-month since Mooney's murder.

"This person is still out there and the police are not telling us anything," Pauline told KTLA. "What is the holdup? What did the guys see? Can you share it with us? Suspects? Surveillance video that you do have? Show us something, tell us something so we can look out for it."

Pauline said, "We can't let this rest. It could save the next woman's life. If you do it once, I'm sure to this caliber, you have it in you to do it again. So, whoever did it, they need to be prosecuted. We're going to get justice."

Black Lives Matter activist threatens 'all hell is gonna break loose' if 'George Floyd's murderer is not sentenced'



A Black Lives Matter activist with a huge social media following threatened that "all hell is gonna break loose" if former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin "is not sentenced" for the death of George Floyd, the Daily Wire reported.

Maya Echols — a model with nearly a half-million TikTok followers — made her statement in video that she apparently took down, the outlet said. But the clip has been preserved for posterity:

“Justice” apparently now means people riot in the street if they don’t get the conviction that they want...😳 https://t.co/yeZ62Y6fWN

"If George Floyd's murderer is not sentenced, just know that all hell is gonna break loose," Echols said. "Don't be surprised when buildings are on fire. Just sayin'."

What's the background?

Chauvin's high-profile murder trial began last week and is expected to last a month.

He's accused of unintentional second-degree murder, third-degree murder, and manslaughter in connection with Floyd's death. Video of Chauvin kneeling on Floyd's neck for several minutes during the course of his arrest went viral last May, resulting in nationwide outrage, protests, rioting, and destruction that lasted all summer.

According to the Associated Press, there is concern as to whether Chauvin can get a fair trial with pressure on jurors and "with some potentially fearing the consequences to the city and country should they reach a verdict others oppose."

More from the AP:

A high fence installed around the courthouse for the trial is a daily reminder for jurors of security concerns. On some days, protesters gathered just beyond it, holding signs that read, "Convict Derek Chauvin" and "The World Is Watching."

Jurors are well aware that Floyd's death led to months of protests in Minneapolis and cities nationwide. They're aware, too, that thieves took advantage of demonstrations to break into, ransack and sometimes burn down stores. [...]

Numerous people expressed unease about serving on the panel for Chauvin's trial during the more than two weeks of jury selection. At least one who became teary-eyed was excused, as were others who were visibly unnerved.

Others displayed no such apprehension. A Black man in his 30s who was ultimately put on the jury wrote on a questionnaire that the Chauvin trial was the biggest case of his lifetime. And he added: "I would love to be a part of it."

'I don't care if the whole city burned down'

Echols certainly isn't alone in her sentiments. Days after Floyd's death — when nationwide riots were in full swing — Ashley Gantt, a Black Lives Matter leader in Rochester, New York, spoke in front of a crowd and the media and declared she didn't "care if the whole city burned down."

"If there was looting, if there was things on fire, that is not what is important. What is important is why these things happen," Gantt said, before telling reporters that they're responsible "to make sure that's the story that's heard."

She appeared to justify violence given that civil rights laws were passed after the rioting that broke out after the death of Martin Luther King Jr. in 1968.

"I am just tired of you guys not putting the correct narrative out there," Gantt added. "I don't care if the whole city burned down. We need justice. And that is the story that needs to be told."

The Daily Wire said Gantt later tried to soften her words, saying that "of course" she does not want the city set on fire, but she does want people to understand that when it comes to "sustainable change, sometimes we have to do whatever it takes to get it."

Pregnant Emily Ratajkowski Fears Giving Birth To A White Male Unaware Of His Privilege

In her recent Vogue essay, model Emily Ratajkowski signals her most progressive beliefs, only to find herself wrestling with the pesky reality that is biology.

Pregnant supermodel Emily Ratajkowski says she and her husband 'won't know' baby's gender 'until our child is 18' and 'they'll let us know then'



It's become standard fare for leftist celebrities to proclaim they're letting their children choose their genders. And pregnant supermodel Emily Ratajkowski is the latest, writing in Vogue that she and her husband "won't know the gender" of their baby "until our child is 18" and "they'll let us know then."

What are the details?

Ratajkowski added to her essay, "I like the idea of forcing as few gender stereotypes on my child as possible" but that she doesn't like "that we force gender-based preconceptions onto people, let alone babies. I want to be a parent who allows my child to show themself to me. And yet I realize that while I may hope my child can determine their own place in the world, they will, no matter what, be faced with the undeniable constraints and constructions of gender before they can speak or, hell, even be born."

Indeed, the woke pronoun thing is primed and ready to go.

Still, she acknowledged that she's asked her husband — actor-producer Sebastian Bear-McClard — if he wants a boy, and that "he refuses to give me an answer, swearing that he doesn't have a preference. But one Sunday as he's watching football he makes a remark about how it'd be fun to have a little boy to watch with."

Ratajkowski said she shot back, "Girls watch football, too!"

One thing's for sure, though: The supermodel has fears about raising a son — particularly due to the child's inevitable whiteness.

"I've known far too many white men who move through the world unaware of their privilege, and I've been traumatized by many of my experiences with them," Ratajkowski wrote. "And boys too; it's shocking to realize how early young boys gain a sense of entitlement — to girls' bodies and to the world in general. I'm not scared of raising a 'bad guy,' as many of the men I've known who abuse their power do so unintentionally. But I'm terrified of inadvertently cultivating the carelessness and the lack of awareness that are so convenient for men. It feels much more daunting to create an understanding of privilege in a child than to teach simple black-and-white morality. How do I raise a child who learns to like themself while also teaching them about their position of power in the world?"

'Nothing worse than the undisturbed sleep of a white man in a patriarchal world'

She then shared a story about a friend's struggle with white males — namely her husband and new baby boy:

My friend who is the mother to a three-year-old boy tells me that she didn't think she cared about gender until her doctor broke the news that she was having a son. She burst into tears in her office. "And then I continued to cry for a whole month," she says matter-of-factly. After a difficult birth experience, she developed postpartum depression and decided that she resented her husband more than she'd ever imagined possible. She told me she particularly hated — and she made an actual, physical list that she kept in her journal, editing it daily — how peacefully he slept. "There is nothing worse than the undisturbed sleep of a white man in a patriarchal world." She shakes her head. "It was hard to come to terms with the fact that I was bringing yet another white man into the world. But now I adore him and can't imagine it any other way." She also eventually learned to love her husband again. The sound of his perfect sleep next to her at night is now tolerable.

Anything else?

Ratajkowski is no stranger to expressing left-wing views. She publicly backed Democratic socialist presidential candidate Bernie Sanders in 2016 and took some heat for partnering with Planned Parenthood a year earlier. But in fairness, Ratajkowski in 2017 said she stood up for Melania Trump after a New York Times journalist called the first lady a "hooker."
