NJ Teacher Used Olympian As Role Model For Students Before She Ruined Her Life, Lawsuit Says
The person who Tamar Herman says is responsible for ruining her life was someone she knew, she says. Someone who she exercised with, had exchanged phone numbers with and become Facebook friends with. So, why Ibtihaj Muhammad failed to reach out to Herman before publishing the social media post that upended her 30-year teaching career and forced her out of the community she's been apart of for decades, is beyond her, according to Herman's attorney, Erik Dykema, with The Lawfare Project. According to a lawsuit filed against Muhammad, an Olympic fencer and non-profit Muslim group Ca…

Three years have passed since Christina Castellanos' breast reduction surgery at Hunterdon Healthcare -- and life hasn't been the same since. The 37-year-old Bound Brook resident was not only left with botched breasts following the May 2018 procedure, but later received a letter from the hospital saying that her doctor -- Andrea L.
