Jay Smith Makes 90 Day Fiance Cheating Scandal Even Worse

After overcoming adversity and even racist death threats, Ashley and Jay weren’t undone by any outside force. Instead, everything went to crap when Jay cheated on Ashley. On Thursday, Jay tried to do damage control with 90 Day Fiance fans. It didn’t really work the way he’d hoped. “I found out that Jay made an account and was talking to multiple women, trying to meet with them” Ashley tearfully revealed on  90 Day Fiance . “So I looked at Jay,” Ashley says in another scene. “And I was like, ‘Do you have a Tinder?'” “And I said, ‘she’s screenshotting them,'” Ashley narrates of her confrontation with her former fiance. “I said to him, ‘she’ sending me the messages right now,'” Ashley continues. “So either you admit to it, or you are out on your f–kin ass.” “And that,” Ashley says. “Is when he admitted to everything. And I was like, ‘we’re done.'” Even more alarmingly, he punched a hole in the wall — which should usually be a relationship-ender all by itself. Jay took to social media to do his level best to put a positive spin on him ruining his own relationship with cheating. “It happened and it is what it is,” Jay writes in his Instagram Stories. “I cannot go back in time and change the past,” he laments, as if his cheating were some cruel twist of fate. “I can only make a brighter future,” he notes. Jay then writes: “And make up for whosoever heart I have broken.” He seems to be acting like what he has done is some kind of mystery. Jay then posted a series of “wedding” photos that he and Ashley Martson took in Jamaica. The two considered it more of a commitment ceremony, because their legal wedding was to take place in the United States. Though these photos have since been deleted by Jay (along with most of what was on his Instagram), we have them for you here. We also have his very curious caption that accompanied those photos. As he explains, he and Ashley were already ceremonially married when he decided to cheat on her. Jay is a difficult man to understand. “We had a non-legal ceremony in 2017 for my family,” Jay reveals in his caption. “Since they couldn’t make it to the US.” “Those,” he explains. “Were the photos floating around.” Many had assumed that Jay and Ashley got married long before the season, because their wedding photos had leaked. Now, those images are in context. “I was able to fly to Mexico after for ten days,” Jay continues. “Where Ashley and I celebrated.” “We didn’t get our dream wedding in America,” he acknowledges. “But before I came to the US,” he writes. “I did get a beautiful Jamaican ceremony.” Jay says: “I know things aren’t good between Ashley and I.” “But,” he continues. “These photos are memories I never want to forget.” “And memories I wanted to [share] with all of you,” he concludes. A couple of hours later, and the photos simply vanished from Instagram. Maybe Jay thought better of his words. Maybe he didn’t appreciate what 90 Day Fiance fans had to say about him acting like their split was an act of fate. Or maybe Ashley didn’t want to see pics of her in a wedding dress plastered all over the internet and told Jay as much. We don’t know, but we’re interested to know more. What really has us curious is this: how in the world did they keep this a secret for so many months? They’re no longer following each other on social media, but we have a feeling that there’s more to this than has been revealed. View Slideshow: 90 Day Fiance: Most Shocking Scandals Exposed!

If It’s Up To La La Anthony, The Word ‘Fat’ Would Be Eliminated From Our Vocabulary

Original post:

Source: Courtesy of Ashley Stewart / AshleyStewart.com La La Anthony is taking a stab at the fashion industry again, this time, focusing on pieces for voluptuous bodies. The actress, author, and entrepreneur created her first line with then stylist, Jason Bolden called 5th and Mercer. In 2017, she partnered with Lord and Taylor for a collection that included denim, bomber jackets, and more. The line went up to a size 24, which I applauded, as it recognized she was thinking about size inclusivity within a mainstream brand. Source: Courtesy of Ashley Stewart / AshleyStewart.com Now she’s back with another collection and focused solely on the ‘big girls’. The Power actress has partnered with plus-size brand Ashley Stewart for a diverse collection that can handle all of your curves. She excitedly tells Hello Beautiful , “This collection is for all women sizes 12 to 32 and the capsule consists of dresses, jumpsuits, tops and bottoms including denim, activewear, and outerwear.” Source: Courtesy of Ashley Stewart / AshleyStewart.com The collection is full of timely and on-trend pieces. Which is a relief for plus size women who are sick of wearing florals and ruffles. Source: Courtesy of Ashley Stewart / AshleyStewart.com The pieces aren’t all glam, Anthony admits that her “go-to” outfit is, “Sweats and sneakers. I love getting to play dress up and being glammed out, but I’m a tomboy at heart.” Source: Courtesy of Ashley Stewart / AshleyStewart.com You’ll see her tomboy nature reflected through the collection with sexy joggers and crop top sweaters with mesh. It’s no surprise that the glam athleisure pieces are her favorite parts of the collection. She reveals, “My favorites are the colorblock hoodie ($74.00, AshleyStewart.com ) and side stripe jogger ($64.00, AshleyStewart.com ), the black sherpa jacket ($120.00, AshleyStewart.com ), and the destructed hoodie dress with chainmail ($108.00, AshleyStewart.com ).” It might seem surprising to see Anthony at the helm of a collection for plus size women. Earlier this year, Amber Rose partnered with Simply Be on a collection for women, but some fashion insiders felt like it missed the mark on what plus size women were truly looking for. Anthony is an advocate for the body positive movement and is proud ot associate herself with plus size women and fashion. We spoke about the movement and she explained, “It’s all about being comfortable in your skin, being confident and loving the skin you’re in. GOD made us all in his vision and we should be happy and proud with what we have and figure out ways to make clothes work for your particular body type. When you look good, you feel good!” Source: Courtesy of Ashley Stewart / AshleyStewart.com She’s done just that with an array of pieces and denim that can fit (and look good) on multiple body types. She is firm on her stance of inclusivity, stating, “We have to start seeing more images of all women of all shapes and sizes on the runways, in the magazines and in beauty campaigns. We have to change the images that we are putting out there that young girls see.” Anthony was very hands on in the creation of this collection “from concept to execution.” She applauded the “great team of designers who helped see my vision for this collection through.” However, one thing the actress is not here for, is the use of the term “fat”. She candidly explains to Hello Beautiful , “I think the word fat is equivalent to hate speech.” While some plus size women aren’t offended by the word fat , others, like Ashley Graham, who have built their entire careers off of fat women, use it in a negative light . Though she might be slim, Lala Anthony has strong opinions on the word. “We’ve taken a simple 3 letter word and turned it into something that’s used to hurt, belittle and shame women for being who they are. Women are strong but we are also sensitive in nature.” The word fat has been polarizing in the plus size community. Some consider it simply a description, it is what it is. Other’s lean into the negative connotation and prefer terms like thicc and big boned. Body positive coach, Michelle Elman, told Insider, “Fat is not a feeling, it is not an emotion and therefore it can not be felt,” in response to Ashley Graham telling People, she “sometimes feels fat.” Anthony is calling for complete erasure of the word. She tells Hello Beautiful , “The word ‘fat’ should be eliminated from our vocabulary.” While I personally disagree with Anthony’s desire for the word fat to be eliminated, I am here for her support of plus size women, the industry, and creating a fashionable, affordable, size inclusive line. Beauties, what do you think of the word? The collection? You can shop the entire Ashley Stewart x Lala Anthony collection, here and in select stores nationwide.

90 Day Fiance Star Ashley Was Kidnapped at 19

Ashley and Jay are one of this season’s new 90 Day Fiance couples , and so far they’ve been fun to watch. Unfortunately, Ashley’s life has known real pain and real horror, as she took to social media to reveal. When she was 19 years old, Ashley was kidnapped by a stranger. Ashley Martson took to Instagram to share an important, personal story with her followers. “As most of you know,” Ashley writes. “An old friend decided to send the tabloids a very personal story about me.” “Yes,” Ashley continues. “When I was 19 I was kidnapped, raped, and almost killed by a stranger.” That is absolutely horrific. “Many outlets were reaching out to me for comment,” Ashley shares. “I reached out to @johnyates327 who was also sent the story,” Ashley says. “And asked him to leak it first” Ashley says that she knew that the report would come out anywya. She then writes that she asked for it to be leaked “because I wasn’t sure how the other tabloids would portray me.” That is a very fair concern. “I knew he would post it with the with dignity and respect,” Ashley says. “With the understanding that this is a very sensitive subject.” “People are disgusting,” Ashley says. True. “Sending this story to tabloids shows how s–tty people really are,” Ashley expresses. “Everyone take it easy on @johnyates327,” she asks. “He has my permission.” Ashley is known now for her sweet (if dramatic) romance with Jay. We can understand her nervousness about fans reading up on her backstory. Her case involves some truly horrific details. In 2005, when she was 19, she was on her way to her job when a man, Sean Patrick Gallagher, tried to rob her. He pressed a box cutter to her throat. When she told him that she did not have any money, he forced her into the back of her own car and bound her hands with zip ties. He then drove her car to a small athletic field where he terrorized and sexually assaulted her. Police testified at Gallagher’s trial that he had bound her hands so tightly that they turned blue. He never let her go — she had to escape. Though Ashley was only 19 at the time, she mustered the incredible courage to fight back. She struck him with her bag and used her own teeth to chew through the zip ties that bound her. Gallagher was identified by DNA evidence. It took the jury only 90 minutes to hand down the conviction. Ashley was right to be nervous about how she would be portrayed and how she would be perceived. Unfortunately, even after the dawn of #MeToo, too many women are second-guessed or even blamed after surviving harrowing attacks. And now that Ashley has seen ugly responses from fans and viewers, she has to be on her guard about any stories about her. (It wasn’t so long ago that a fan tried to portray her fiance, Jay, as some sort of sexual predator, using clearly fake texts to make it look like he’d flirted with a 16-year-old) The world can be so unkind, even to people who have been through unspeakable experiences.

Ashley Darby: My Husband Didn’t Grope that Man! It’s All Lies!

Ashley Darby is speaking out now that her husband Michael Darby has been accused of sexual assault . Not only is the The Real Housewives of Potomac star standing by her man, she’s claiming that charges have not even been filed. She also announces that her husband has not been suspended by Bravo. Is she telling the truth? Ashley Darby took to her Instagram Story on Saturday to affirm her support her embattled husband. “No charges filed,” she writes. “No arrest made.” “No Bravo suspension,” she continues. “No worries.” She then promises fans: “We’ll keep you posted.” That is very interesting … considering that two of those claims are in conflict with reports. TMZ ‘s report, which we are inclined to believe, says that Darby has been charged with felony assault. (He has also been charged with misdemeanor improper sexual contact) He has also been suspended by Truly Original, the production company behind The Real Housewives of Potomac. And he has been suspended by Bravo, who say that they have procedures to follow when allegations of this nature are made. It is curious that Ashley would make an announcement that is contrary to what we’ve heard. As you may recall, these allegations — reported to police within days of the October 1 incident — were made by a cameraman, Orville Palmer. According to his accusation, Michael Darby began by giving him what he perceived to be a flirtatious look. On its own, that’s a pretty subjective perception, and almost never a crime. He says that Darby then grabbed and groped his butt. He says that he put down the camera and demanded that Darby stop touching his butt. There was another alleged incident, days before, in which Michael Darby is said to have kicked him in the butt. Kicking someone’s butt is not necessarily sexual in nature, but consider this: One: you should not be touching anyone’s posterior without permission. Two: kicking a butt might not be inherently sexual, but it’s inherently assault. Stop it. As we mentioned, Palmer filed charges just days after the October 1 incident. Some may feel a surge of anger towards Ashley for standing by her husband when these allegations have been made. We should remember that blame for misdeeds — alleged or proven — should not be misplaced to a person’s family or loved ones. Ashley, like so many people who are close to those who are accused of predatory behavior, is struggling to reconcile the man she knows with what she has now heard. She may believe that this is over a vendetta against her husband, or somehow a ploy to make money. Be angry with her for her claims that are contrary to reports, if you like, but not every wife is likely to file for divorce when allegations surface. What makes this story a little complicated is that this alleged sexual assault case is that this is a married man who is accused of groping another man. Obviously, not all sex crimes are about attraction, but a lot of people find that surprising and even difficult to accept. There have been other famous man-on-man assault stories. The most famous among them are probably Brendan Fraiser and Terry Crews . No one has the right to touch another person without their consent. It is neither “gay” nor “homophobic” to report a sexual assault committed by one man upon another. Crimes are crimes. View Slideshow: Hollywood Sex Scandal: Who’s Been Caught? Accused? Fired?

Teen Mom: Young and Pregnant Promo Teases New Episodes, New Struggles

Back in June, MTV gave the green light for more episodes of  Teen Mom: Young and Pregnant . Now, the reality series is just weeks away from returning for Season 1b — and we already have a promo video. Pregnancy was only the prologue for these teens. Their struggles have only bgun. “Last season, five moms-to-be literally mommed up,” the narrator says, making a slightly awkward play on words. Like we mentioned, the new episodes are just weeks away. The voiceover continues: “Now, on Monday, October 15,  Teen Mom: Young and Pregnant  is back.” “The babies have arrived,” the voice declares. Then we get a tease of the challenges to come. “But,” the voiceover asks. “How did these moms handle what comes next?” Obviously, some of these young mothers will handle things better than others.  That's how life works — and that's what draws viewers to the show. The voiceover repeats: ” Teen Mom: Young and Pregnant  returns with all new episodes on Monday, October 15 on MTV.” They really don't want people to miss the premiere date, folks. The returning stars are Lexi Tatman, Ashley Jones, Jade Cline, Kayla Sessler, and Brianna Jaramillo. Obviously, since they're moms now, we'll also see their babies again: Tobias, Holly, Kloie, Izaiah, and Braeson. Viewers expect to see a number of things this season, as  Starcasm  predicts. For one thing, Kayla finally breaking up with Stephan. Will Jade and Sean confirm that they're back together, as rumor suggests, or will viewers instead see confirmation that they're over? Then there's Lexi and Kyler trying their best to make this work and of course Brianna gettled settled in Oregon. And then there's Ashley, easily one of the most memorable and controversial figures we've seen on  Teen Mom . Remember that video of her slapping herself beofre accusing Bar of being violent towards her? Her encounters with Bar's mother, Shen, eventually drove Shen to quit the series … again. Ashley joined the ever-growing ranks of reality stars who have feuded with Briana DeJesus even though they're not even on the same show (and yes, it was over Javi Marroquin). She also declared on Twitter that people should do their own research into whether the Earth is flat — because she believes that the government and textbooks have warped people's minds. Ashley tried to roast people, saying that they thought she was a “dumb b–ch” for her statement. But … nobody's disputing her self-characterization, there. Speaking of Ashley, Bar's life has only been somewhat less dramatic. He got arrested again. Then there's the appeal for his brother Troy's murder conviction. Bar's foster sister was shot. On a lighter (and, joking aside, considerably less upsetting) note, Bar released his new rap song. We do not know if, uh, that will be featured on  Teen Mom: Young and Pregnant . But we'll all find out together in less than three weeks.

‘LHHNYS8’ Recap: Mariahlynn Activates Angry Bird Mode On Dreamdoll

Originally posted here:

Source: Amanda Edwards / Getty Tonight’s episode of Love and Hip-Hop New York picks up with lames James R, who is still talking in third person btw, and Jaquae about to get fight. Security shuts that down immediately, but then DJ Self steps in and actually manages to squash their beef. In fact, Jaquae thanks James R. for “relieving him of his baggage” and the fact that he no longer has to buy her bags and all the expensive things she likes. Then Mariahlynn rolls in and shows off her new breasts. James R thinks her breasts look nice gives her the compliment. However, Mariahlynn starts going off about how disloyal he is and points out that Sophia isn’t even at his little party. Then she storms out in typical melodramatic fashion by knocking over an ice sculpture. via GIPHY Next. Rich calls a meeting with Anais, Navarro and Ashley to inform the latter two that they’re dating, and to try to iron out their business drama. It all goes left when Ashley starts going in on Rich Dollaz for seeing a married woman and generally being the King of Messy anyway. Rich is not here for it so he leaves. What’s really bothering Ashley is that she believes Navarro is cheating on her. She says he has been shady with his phone and consistently texting a specific woman and then deleting said messages. Navarro maintains that he’s not cheating. In his confessional he says that he’s actually planning a surprise spa day for her so he since she has been so stressed lately. Ashley, not knowing this, ends up storming out of their little meeting, but not before tossing water in his face. Later on, we find Navarro and Ashley arguing some more. Ashley thinks his shady behavior is proof that he has been cheating, Navarro is still denying this but not revealing his plan. Then when things get really tense, Ashely reveals that she’s pregnant. Navarro leaves, but wishes they were on better terms. It’s obvious that their professional and personal relationship is crumbling at the worst time. via GIPHY Speaking of receipts, Jonathan confronts Trent again in a more controlled session (no ambushing this time), with actual proof of Trent’s infidelity (because he has been catfishing). Trent turns the tables with his own proof of Jonathan’s shady behavior. He pulls out Jonathan’s marriage license. via GIPHY Jonathan goes off and demands to know where he found it. Trent says Jonathan is addicted to getting married and also says that he’s not even ready to really be serious anyway. Long story short, Jonathan married his “best friend” two years ago. They realized it was a mistake, but Jonathan is in NYC, his “best friend” is in LA and it’s hard to get a divorce when you’re on separate coasts, so they’re separated but not divorced. In short, they’re not on the same page and finally call it quits before the episode is over. Womp womp. lames James R links up with Sophia Body and wants to know why she wasn’t at his single release party supporting him. She’s already over being treated like a trophy. James thinks she should be honored to be his queen. via GIPHY She reveals that she didn’t show up because she wasn’t trying to have James having these expectations of her since she’s not even feeling him like that and feels like she made a mistake by kissing him and that she still has feelings for Jaquae. James R, being butthurt, then tells Sophia that Jaquae called her baggage. Then Sophia gets mad at James because she feels like he didn’t have her back in that situation, so she storms out, but not before throwing a glass at him– Love and Hip-Hop -style. via GIPHY DJ Self is not happy with Mariahlynn’s grind. He tells her that she’s not hustling hard enough as a Gwinnin artist (he thinks Dreamdoll grinds harder), that her temper is too much and that she needs to stop beefing with people and work harder. On the flipside, Mariahlynn thinks no one works harder than her and that DJ Self is the one who has been slacking with her because he’s giving Dreamdoll more attention. The convo ends amicably for now. Later on, DJ Self asks Dreamdoll to give Mariahlynn a pep talk about working harder. Dreamdoll agrees “in the name of sisterhood and the Gwinnin team,” but that fake sentiment goes south when she finds out that her man, Safaree, plans to work with Mariahlynn.” Lordt. Now we’re at the part where Yandy and Remy pop up at Juju’s house because she has been MIA lately. The tea, that we already know by now (thanks to #TheBlogs), is that Juju and Cam’ron broke up. This was a 10-year relationship and she’s hurting. Yandy and Remy are supportive, offer her words of encouragement, and understand that she needs time to heal. via GIPHY via GIPHY The episode concludes with Dreamdoll meeting up with Mariahlynn. This goes all the way south. Remember, Dreamdoll and Mariahlynn lowkey have beef because their friends (Bianca and Bri) are beefing, so they have a hostile exchange about that. Then Dreamdoll says DJ Self wanted her to talk to Mariahlynn because she’s going to flop then calls her a bum b—h who never gets booked. They start going in on each other until Dreamdoll crosses the line again by insulting Mariahlynn’s mother and that’s when Mariahlynn taps into her inner angry cassowary , runs across a picnic table and tries to pop off. However, security grabs them up before they throw hands, but this is far from over, especially after Mariahlynn threatens to take Safaree from Dreamdoll. Mmmmkay. This is far from over, especially when Dreamdoll rolls up on Safaree breathing on chatting with Mariahlynn in next week’s episode.
