She emphasizes that her content aims to give fans behind-the-scenes access to professional tennis. Meanwhile, in Clearwater, Florida, Largo Police were called to an Extended Stay America hotel after a witness reported that Tamisha Brodie had fallen while holding her baby and appeared unresponsive.
The affidavit described her as severely intoxicated, with slurred speech, glossy eyes, and a strong alcohol odor, and investigators found empty containers and full diapers but no formula. Brodie was taken to Largo Medical Center for evaluation, posted a.295 blood-alcohol content, and was charged with child neglect; the infant was transferred to a children's hospital. A bond of $15,000 was set for Brodie.
