James Harden Visits Meek Mill In Prison: “His Spirits Is High”
HOUSTON, Texas – Houston Rockets star James Harden is among the celebrities voicing support for Meek Mill amid the rapper’s controversial imprisonment.
Harden spent the day after the team’s Christmas Day loss in Oklahoma City to visit Mill, whose real name is Robert Rihmeek Williams.
In an Instagram story post, Harden said, “Got a chance to see my bro @meekmill today. His spirit is high and hopefully we can get him out by February.”
In November, the 30-year-old Mill began serving a two-to-four-year prison sentence in Pennsylvania for his fifth violation of his probation that originated with drug and weapon counts when he was 19.
The controversy stems on whether the sentence was excessive. Advocates argued Mill was unfairly sentenced for comparatively non-violent charges. In addition, both Mill’s lawyers and prosecutors recommended against the sentence. Sports Illustrated, also on Tuesday, reported that Harden plans to wear a pair of his signature Adidas sneakers with a “Free Meek” message on them during the Rockets’ game in Boston on Thursday night.[tps_footer][/tps_footer]

OFFICIAL TRAILER RELEASED FOR “CALL ME MICKY,” EXECUTIVE PRODUCED BY DOMINIQUE JACKSON
New 22-minute documentary short follows Micky Angelo Petrillo after transitioning at 59, with the acclaimed POSE star helping bring his story to the screen
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE — NEW YORK: The official trailer for CALL ME MICKY, a new documentary short Executive Produced by acclaimed POSE star Dominique Jackson and directed by Andrew Rasmussen, has been released on YouTube ahead of the film’s upcoming festival run.
The 22-minute documentary follows Micky Angelo Petrillo, a larger-than-life New Jersey native who transitioned at 59 and is now discovering what comes next.
Rather than presenting transition as the conclusion of Petrillo’s story, CALL ME MICKY focuses on the life unfolding afterward — through Pride celebrations, open mics, friendships, storytelling and Petrillo’s increasingly public embrace of the man he fought decades to become.
Jackson also appears in the film, joining Petrillo for an intimate on-camera conversation about identity, visibility and what it means to finally live openly as yourself.
Internationally recognized for her commanding portrayal of Elektra on FX’s groundbreaking series POSE, Jackson is an actress, model, activist and producer who also served as an Executive Producer of the acclaimed documentary I’M YOUR VENUS, which premiered at the Tribeca Festival.
Petrillo is the author of the memoir Walking the Earth: First as a Woman, Then a Man.
While CALL ME MICKY captures one chapter of Petrillo’s much larger story, the film offers an intimate portrait of a man discovering that becoming yourself is not the ending — it may only be the beginning.
CALL ME MICKY is produced by CARDINAL, a New York City–based creative production company, and directed by CARDINAL co-founder Andrew Rasmussen.
The film begins its festival run this fall, with additional screenings and festival announcements forthcoming.
