The 33-year-old woman had to pay more than $6,000 for several hours of emergency surgery for her dog, Emma, the Daily Mail reported.

“I broke down in tears on the phone when they told me Emma was not covered. It was as if they didn’t give a stuff about what had just happened,” she told the tabloid.

At the time, Hughes could not entirely pay for the six-year-old dog’s surgery after her insurer said the dog’s treatment could not be covered. She had to use the last several hundred dollars in her bank account to cover the bill.

A Port Harcourt-based cleric, Bishop Chibuike Nwabueze was on Tuesday paraded before the media by the Rivers State police command for allegedly raping a 15-year old girl.

Michael Jordan Tried To Take My Virginity, Says Ex-MTV Star Kennedy

NBA legend Michael Jordan tried to win entrance into Kennedy's lower part during a steamy dice game back in 1995 ... so says the former MTV star, who claims she was a virgin at the time.

 Kennedy -- who was a huge MTV VJ back in the '90s -- details the encounter in her new book "The Kennedy Chronicles" ... explaining how she was having dinner with MJ and Russell Simmons at the Bowery Bar in NYC, when Michael broke out some dice.

Before long, Kennedy says, Jordan decided it was "time to play for something" ... and said, "If I win, you come back to my hotel room with me tonight."

Kennedy says she freaked out because she was a virgin --and imagined MJ's giant manhood would "eviscerate me from the inside out" ... so she asked if they could play for Knicks tickets instead.

And that's when Jordan allegedly reminded Kennedy he had a wife -- and offered her Nets tickets as a consolation.
