The woman behind the rape allegations against Sandy Rubenstein is Iasha Rivers (pictured left) and she is NOT a top aide in the Sharpton administration as being reported in the media however, the woman does and/or DID have ties to the Rev. Al Sharpton.

Sources close to the CEO Blog with former ties to the Sharpton administration confirmed that, Sharpton was not only romantically tied at one point to Rivers in the past but he also secured her current position with Macys as their Director of External Affairs and Corporate Communications.

Rivers is also named on the Board of Directors at the National Action Network.

Seems as though the good, right Rev. Al Sharpton looked out for all the woman he’s had ties too at some point romantically, making sure he secured their permanent positions as trade-offs through his corporate rivals. 

Since the rape allegations has surfaced from a former lover against his pal Rubenstein, Sharpton is doing all he can to distance himself from the scandal by supposedly cutting ties with the swanky attorney. All apart of his efforts to distance himself from this public played drama. He’s making sure that as the shit starts to sling, none gets flung on him.

After all, Al Sharpton has assisted Rubenstein by making sure he secured every civil rights case against the city of New York, so we can only imagine how their secrets must run deep. Especially since Rubenstein was initially just “a work injury lawyer”.  

Stay tuned as this very public drama play out before our eyes.

I chose to air the name and face of the alleged rape victim in this case because my blog is in the business of disseminating news, not suppressing it. Names and facts are news. They add credibility to stories and give viewers and/or readers information.

Sanford Rubenstein (pictured right and inset) is a prominent New York attorney and he’s being accused of allegedly raping a 42-year-old official of the National Action Network after the victim (pictured left with her face covered) accompanied the lawyer to his apartment after Rev. Al Sharpton’s birthday celebration at the Four Season’s Restaurant last Thursday.

Rubenstein who is not only a member of Sharpton’s National Action Network but a prominent lawyer and good friend who’s joined at the hip with the civil rights activist, winning racially fueled cases in the sum of millions against the city once their cases settle. Rubenstein has the reputation of being a “pit-bull” in the court room.

The victim, a 42 year old mother and top aide in Sharpton’s administration escorted the prominent lawyer back to his apartment along with her girlfriend. In her inebriated state, she allegedly asked her girlfriend to leave the apartment as she stayed behind. The next morning after having had sex with Rubenstein a second time, the victim left his upscale penthouse and went straight to police.

In the meantime, Rubenstein vehemently denies the allegations and concedes that the sex between the two was consensual. Of course it was consensual, what woman escorts a man up to his penthouse in the wee hours of the morning for a coffee clutch she and a girlfriend? The victim apparently felt comfortable enough to go this far. And being Sharpton’s aide I’m sure this was not the first time the victim has come in contact with the prominent attorney.

I not only smell a rat but I think this is a setup. Time will tell.

Dr. Cornel West Calls Al Sharpton “The Bonafide House Negro Of The Obama Plantation”

Dr. Cornell West is apparently pissed off with Al Sharpton’s new position and transformation of image as a Civil Rights Leader.

West likened Al Sharpton to a slave in response to his speech delivery during the 50th Anniversary Ceremony of the historic March on Washington earlier this week.

Public intellectual Cornel West tore into many of this week’s speeches surrounding the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King, Jr.‘s “I Have a Dream” speech, accusing everyone from President Obama to Rev. Al Sharpton of “sanitizing” Dr. King’s vision.

“Brother Martin himself, I think, would’ve been turning over in his grave,” West said of the event. “[King would have wanted] people to talk about Wall Street criminality, he wants people to talk about war crimes, or drones dropping bombs on innocent people,” he asserted.

“Instead,” he lamented, “we saw the coronation of the bonafide house negro of the Barack Obama plantation, our dear brother Al Sharpton.” West went further declaring that Sharpton’s decline was “supported by [MSNBC analyst] Michael Dyson and others who’ve prostituted themselves in a very ugly and vicious way.”

West and Tavis Smiley both lamented that black leadership has become “so sold-out” so as not to have the courage to be a “bull in the china shop,” break rank, and talk about “racism, poverty, and militarism” at an otherwise “bought-out” event.

It doesn’t get more disrespectful than a black high-profile public figure comparing President Obama’s administration to that of a slave plantation.

Wow!!! I must admit Sharpton being Obama’s bullet proof vest is extremely annoying, always going on the defense for the president against his adversaries. Sharpton has switched positions all in the name of MSNBC and the almighty dollar.

“No Justice ~ No Peace” does Al Sharpton even own it anymore?

Black So-called Celebrities Come Out in Support of Paula Deen

Paula Deen Signs Copies Of "Paula's Southern Cooking Bible"

Actress Stacey Dash, NFL player Kris Jenkins and civil rights activist Rev. Al Sharpton are among the black notables who have come forward in support of embattled tv chef Paula Deen.

Deen, 66, was dropped by the Food Network on Friday after Deen readily admitted she used racial slurs and cracked racist jokes about black people in a videotaped deposition.

Two other Deen sponsors, QVC and Smithfield Foods, are quietly shelving the celebrity chef while they await the outcome of a million-dollar sexual harassment lawsuit filed against Deen’s brother, Bubba Hiers, by a former employee.

“A lot of us have in the past said things we have regretted saying years ago,” Sharpton told gossip website TMZ. “You cannot deal with what is fair or not fair until we see an outcome of the present circumstances she is accused of, not something that happened 20 years ago.”

In a tweet sent out from her Twitter account on Monday, Stacey Dash wrote: “God does everything for a reason. “@Paula_Deen Only God can judge your heart BTW my daughter loves your show (only way she can get me to cook)”

And Kris Jenkins, former all-pro defensive tackle for the New York Jets and Carolina Panthers, also spoke out in support of Deen.

“The lady was a sweetheart to me; [her] making a mistake I’m not going to be the one to make a big deal of it,” said Jenkins in an interview with Metro New York.

Jenkins continued: “I got to see her heart and for me, I don’t look at the ‘N word’ as a bad word like that in this year—in 2013. The reason is because I think the ‘N word’ is more a test of my inner strength as to how strong am I to even be bothered by the word or not.”
