JWoww vs. Angelina: Jersey Shore Feud Explodes on Twitter!

Posted on October 19, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

On Thursday night, tempers flared between two long-time Jersey Shore cast members. During filming of the latest episode? Yes. But also over social media during the airing of this latest episode. As the past two installments of this MTV franchise have shown, there is major tension between Jenni “JWoww” Farley and Angelina Pivarnick — and it all has to do with Zack Clayton Carpinello. This immature 24-year old got drunk and acted like a sexist buffoon several months ago, groping Angelina on the dance floor of a nightclub after JWoww (his girlfriend at the time!) passed out from alcohol intake. This wasted escapade was featured last week’s Jersey Shore episode. Then, last night , viewers witnessed the fallout of a sober JWoww waking up the day after this inappropriate action was taken… and being deceived by Carpinello in regard to what transpired. Zack placed the blame on Angelina and alleged that she tried to kiss him . In present day, after she watched the episode a few days ago and saw what actually went down between her then-boyfriend and veteran co-star, Farley broke up with Carpinello , writing at the time: “For 5 months I was kept in the dark about this. For 5 months I was naive, probably laughed at and made into a story line that will forever haunt me. “My heart hurts on so many levels. “One thing I learned from tonight’s episode is know your value. Don’t ever lower your standards.” Despite mostly blaming Zack for initating the flirting with Angelina, however, JWoww also had some harsh words yesterday for Pivarnick. Live-Tweeting the episode, Farley posted the following online after witnessing Angelina knocking on her bedroom door and joking about having sex with both her and Carpinello: “Grinding on someone’s man? Asking for a 3 some? Kissing someone else’s BF? That’s a blatant disregard of boundaries.” Pivarnick, for her part, insisted she was just being playful. “When I asked about a three some everyone knew it was a joke,” she wrote back, adding: “I even knocked on their door and was laughing … I never had a three some in my life and I sure as hell wouldn’t want one at 33 years old.” Farley wasn’t having it, though. “Oh ok that makes sense,” she replied. “Glad what you did was a joke, and u grinding on him was a joke… and u kissing him was a joke… BUT when he joked back, you made it seem like he was a creep and destroyed him in interview. Got it. Makes total sense now.” Jenni’s beef with Angelina here seems to be less how she acted with  Zack and more how she talked about him afterward. That is: Angelina was joking and flirting right back during the night in question… but then later made it sound like Zach was totally in the wrong and acting against her will. “Both are idiots but they instigated each other,” Farley told a fan about Zack and Angelina, explaining: “Only difference is Angelina gets to talk about it on the show… like if you were that uncomfortable tell me.. don’t tell others and text me how much fun it was.” Again, it’s worth remembering that all the actions here actually transpired a long time ago. Jenni and Angelina are just giving us their thoughts on what happened now, as the episodes play out on TV. And Zack is doing the same. “I made mistakes that I cannot take back, which I take full responsibility for. … I sincerely apologize to Jenni. I apologize to Angelina as well,” he wrote last week on Instagram .

RHOC Season 14 Trailer: "I’m Not a F-cking Whore!"

Posted on July 3, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

The Real Housewives of Orange County will look different than it has in past seasons when it returns with new episodes this summer. Why? Because Vicki Gunvalson has been demoted. She's been downgraded to the status of “friend,” as opposed to full-time cast member. This sort of sucks, and yet one thing is made clear by the preview featured here: Gunvalson will still be at the forefront of lots of drama on Season 14. Despite Tamra Judge, Shannon Storms Beador, Kelly Dodd, Gina Kirschenheiter, Emily Simpson and newcomer Braunwyn Windham-Burke announced by Bravo at this season's leading ladies, Vicki is slammed as a “con woman” and a “crook” in this trailer. And long-time viewers can guess who's doing the slamming, right? Yup: Vicki's rival, Kelly Dodd. Gunvalson comes right back at Dodd in the footage, accusing her of being a bully. But it's a couple different descriptions that really gnaw at Kelly and prompt a response. “I don’t do cocaine, and I’m not a f-cking whore,” she says, seemingly replying to the claims Vicki had made at last year’s reunion. Elsewhere, Gina – who joined the cast in season 13 – grows emotional presumably about her arrest for drunk driving. “It just hurts. It’s so unfair,” she says to Shannon, who reassures her, “I’ll be there for you.” The women later make the surprising decision go to a therapy healing session to help them each through the traumas in their lives – but it’s unsure if it actually helps. It may actually end up hurting. As for Gunvalson and her reaction to getting demoted? “For the past 14 years I’ve opened up my life, my loves, my ups and downs on The Real Housewives of Orange County and I am proud to be the 'OG of the OC,'” she wrote on Instagram after the news broke, adding: “I am back again this season right in the middle of the action, and I hope you have as much fun watching the show as I did living it in front of the cameras.” As for new addition Braunwyn? She's a mother of seven – yes, SEVEN! – with a full house that includes a baby, toddler, twin kindergarteners and three teenagers. When she's not escaping to her love shack with husband Sean, Braunwyn is always ready for a mom’s night out as she gets to know these OC ladies in more ways than one, writes Bravo as part of the official network synopsis. Season 14 of The Real Housewives of Orange County premieres on Bravo Tuesday, August 6, at 9/8c. Will you be tuning in for it?

Emma Portner to Justin Bieber: The Way You Degrade Women is an Abomination

Posted on July 3, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Taylor Swift spoke out against a hurtful injustice, only to get accused by Justin Bieber of just wanting attention . Since then, a number of other stars have spoken out in her defense, clapping back at the Biebs for being a douche. Now Emma Portner is speaking about time she spent working for Justin, accusing him of degrading women and grossly underpaying her. 24-year-old choreographer Emma Portner, who is notably Ellen Page’s wife, has spoken out in her Instagram Stories. “Justin Bieber, I regret working under your name,” Emma Portner’s post begins. “I gave you universe my naive body, creativity, time, and effort,” she writes, adding: “Twice.” Emma did this “for content that you made millions off of. While I mad zilch. Nada. Barely anything.” She describes her pay as having been “less than minimum wage for the hours I invested.” “I couldn’t afford to eat,” Emma Portner recalls. She adds: “I was sweeping studio floors to be able to practice my craft.” “The way you degrade women is an abomination,” Emma accuses. She notes: “You continue to collaborate with overly problematic people.” That’s an understatement. Justin gets along alarmingly well with the likes of Chris Brown and (formerly) Floyd Mayweather. “You religiously go to a church that does not support the LGBTQ+ community,” Emma observes. She’s not attacking his faith, but rather where he chooses to practice it. Emma admits that she cannot help but wonder how he feels about working with lesbians like herself and other LGBTQ+ folks. “I can only hope for your enlightenment,” she expresses. “That you read a ton of books.” She even offers to buy him some helpful literature to “change the way your traumatized brain thinks.” Emma also included a post about how one can be glad that they had opportunities while still holding people accountable for mistreatment. That’s very fair. It’s no mystery at all why Emma is speaking out about this now. Over the weekend, Taylor Swift put Scooter Braun on blast for what she described as a history of cruelty and bullying. She had learned, to her horror, that he will soon own the majority of her discography. The Biebs spoke in defense of his manager, and suggested that Taylor was only saying these things to make people pity her. The thing is that other singers and professionals have come out of the woodwork since Taylor spoke out. Additionally, fans have been posting old videos that lend more weight to Taylor’s claims. Madison Beer — who rose to fame after catching Justin’s eye years ago — once shared that her entire music career was swept out from under her. In other footage, Ariana Grande is heard briefly admitting that aspects of her album’s tracklist were not under her control, but under Scooter’s. When Taylor speaks out, she doesn’t have to provide receipts — her fans will whip them out on her behalf. Other celebrities have spoken in praise of her, including Halsey. Taylor Swift knows that speaking out isn’t likely to stop Scooter Braun from assuming ownership of her life’s work. She can’t stop it — she wasn’t even given the opportunity to bid on it, and didn’t know about the sale until it had already happened. But just because you can’t change what has happened doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t tell the world what powerful men do behind closed doors. Taylor knows that. But maybe public pressure and scrutiny will encourage Scooter to offer Taylor a deal, even if it’s only to save his reputation. But that won’t happen as long as he is ardently defended by the likes of Justin Bieber. View Slideshow: Justin Bieber Spills on Sex with Hailey Baldwin: It’s a Blessing from God!

Kim Kardashian on Taylor Swift-Scooter Braun Feud: I’m Loving It!

Posted on July 2, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

If you’re a Swifty a Belieber or simply someone who takes an interest in the latest goings-on within the music industry, then by now you’re probably aware of the bad blood between Taylor Swift and Scooter Braun . In case you’re not caught up, here’s a brief rundown of how it all got started: In a move that surprised many industry insiders Braun — who is best known as the manager who “discovered” a talented Canadian kid named Justin Bieber — purchased Big Machine Label Group, which owns the masters to Taylor’s first seven albums. In a lengthy Tumblr post, Swift described the news as her “worst case scenario.” “For years I asked, pleaded for a chance to own my work. Instead I was given an opportunity to sign back up to Big Machine Records and ‘earn’ one album back at a time, one for every new one I turned in,” Swift wrote. “I walked away because I knew once I signed that contract, Scott Borchetta would sell the label, thereby selling me and my future. I had to make the excruciating choice to leave behind my past.” Swift went on to reveal that she learned of Braun’s acquisition by reading about it online after the news was made public Sunday morning. It’s an awful situation and a nightmare for any artist with such a sizable and valuable body of work. And it’s not at all surprising that Taylor is lashing out at the parties responsible. In the same Tumblr post, she went on the offensive against Braun’s longtime friends, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West. “Like when Kim Kardashian orchestrated an illegally recorded snippet of a phone call to be leaked and then Scooter got his two clients together to bully me online about it,” Swift wrote. “Or when his client, Kanye West, organized a revenge p0rn music video which strips my body naked. Now Scooter has stripped me of my life’s work, that I wasn’t given an opportunity to buy.” Yes, as you may recall, Swift’s beef with Kanye led to a feud with Kim Kardashian that has yet to be settled. And apparently, Kim regards the events of the past 24 hours as a personal victory. A source tells Radar Online that Kim “has been telling her sisters that she feels vindicated now.” “She loves the fact that she played a part in Taylor’s takedown,” the insider claims . “Taylor got the rug swept from under her, and regardless of if she lied or not, Kim thinks Taylor still lost big.” Taylor is undeniably in the right from a moral perspective, but the public may never see it that way thanks to the A-list names who are fighting on Braun’s side. Already, Bieber has lashed out at Swift  and accused her of bullying Braun and attempting to sic her sizable fan base on his mentor. Demin Lovato echoed those sentiments, writing, “Please stop ‘dragging’ people or bullying them.” Swift has the support of several fellow artists, including Halsey, who promptly spoke out on her behalf. The united front of Kim, Kanye, Justin, Demi, and arguably the world’s most successful talent manager is a lot to go up against — and Taylor might be outmatched in this battle.  View Slideshow: Kim Kardashian Calls Out Jack in the Box, Ignites Voracious Fast Food Feud

James Charles Responds to Tati Westbrook: I’m Sister Sorry!

Posted on May 11, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

If you don't find joy in keeping up with YouTube gossip … well, sorry. But the drama that's been going on between James Charles and Tati Westbrook is what a whole, whole lot of people are talking about, and so here we are. So, OK, James and Tati are both beauty gurus on YouTube, right? Tati has been in the game for years, and James has been around for a fraction of that time, but he's had unbelievable success. And it turns out that he has Tati to thank for that. The drama started when James shared an ad for SugarBearHair vitamins after he claimed they helped him out with security at Coachella, and Tati reacted very negatively to that. She was upset because she has her own line of vitamins, Halo Beauty, and since she and James have been so close for so long, for him to promote her main competitor was a bit of a betrayal. She literally cried about the situation in her Instagram story, and a lot of people thought she was being dramatic. Not so much. Yesterday, she released a 43-minute video titled “BYE SISTER …” in which she pretty much destroyed him, but in a nice way. In the video, she revealed that she mentored James at the very beginning of his career, and that she and her husband helped him get million-dollar deals when no one was taking him seriously. She considered him to be family, and they were so close that she had him do her makeup at her wedding. As time went on, certain things about him began to bother her, and she realized that his ego was getting out of control. She also had a big problem with the way he treats potential romantic partners. That's a whole different story, but just to get a taste of it, Tati recalled how he went out to dinner with her and her family and friends for her birthday, and he said very explicit things about what he wanted to do to their waiter. When she told him he was straight, James said “It doesn't matter, I'm a celebrity.” Tati said that she tried to help James time and time again and steer him in the right direction, but he would never listen, and when he promoted a rival company, that was pretty much the straw that broke the camel's back. And after learning just how much she and her husband helped him, it's definitely understandable that she no longer wants to be involved with him. The thing is that Tati is pretty revered in the beauty community, and she's very trustworthy, so it was easy to believe everything that she said. And James started hemorrhaging subscribers — as of now, he's lost well over a million. So what else was there for him to do but an apology video? You can watch the full video at the end of this post, but the gist of it is that he's really, really sorry. After losing so many subscribers, why wouldn't he be? He says that most of his career so far “has been about me making mistakes and trying to learn and grow from them, and I haven't always done the best job with that.” He's sad that he ruined a relationship that was so important to him, “and throughout all of this what sucks the most is that there's nothing I can say or do to ever earn that friendship or trust back.” Oh, and about all that creepy, manipulative stuff about getting with guys? He essentially says that he just wishes he never talked about it at all on social media, and that Tati did warn him he'd get into trouble over boys on day. So he's not sorry for his behavior, only sorry that he's getting called out for it. He finishes the video by admitting that “A lot of times when I've tried to address things in the past I've acted out of impulse and I've gone off and tried to pull receipts or facts or screenshots and played the victim, and I'm not doing that today.” It's just not a great apology video. It's not as bad as Laura Lee's apology from last year , but it's still not good. After everything we've seen from him, it's hard to believe he's sincere here, and if you take one look at the comments on the video, it's clear that everyone else agrees. Is this the end of James Charles? Probably not. But still, it's certainly a bad look. Check out his full apology here:

Little People, Big World: Just How Fake Is It?!?

Posted on May 10, 2019 by admin2| Leave a comment

Little People, Big World is a reality television show. This is not exactly a groundbreaking statement. As such, however, the long-running TLC series has faced the same criticism and the same questions that have faced all other reality television entries on the small screen. Which is to say that many viewers are often wondering the following: Is the series scripted? This speculation was spurred on about three years ago when Jacob Roloff quit the show , resigning with a controversial Instagram post that he claimed at the time called out the program for exactly what it is: An example of total phoney baloney, according to Jacob. “Producers have to try to get us to follow the talking points,” he shared in this message, jumping way high on a pedestal and adding: “For me, noticing how the agenda of the crew doesn’t work well with the health & happiness of our family is what made me decide quite a while ago that I could not be a part of it as soon as I was able.” In this same post, Jacob referred to “storyline” and wrote of his loved ones: “They are the Roloff Characters and I have scarcely anything in common with them.” Years later, Jacob would sort of apologize for these remarks; or at least explain that he had since grown up and regretted making them. He’s now on great terms with these same loved ones, but the issue remains. The question hangs over the Roloffs. How much of what we see each week is natural and normal? And how much is produced or even flat-out written for Amy, Matt and their kids? “For the most part, we keep it real,” Amy Roloff told Us Weekly in a recent interview. “My kids are real. They’re grounded … Granted, here we’re filming three hours and then take the one moment that people will say, ‘Oh, it’s scripted.’ “I say, ‘No, it didn’t feel like the three hours that I was in.’ I like to think that we’re pretty honest, we’re pretty real – at least I am – sometimes to a fault.” In other words: The show is edited. And these edits may be done in such a way to emphasize a certain topic or disagreement in order to boost interest — such as Matt and Amy’s fight a couple weeks ago over the farm . But nothing you see is fake by any definition of that word. How has a show that started off as an idea for a one-off documentary lasted this long? How has it actually set a Guiness World Record ? In this same Us Weekly chat , Matt Roloff chalks it up to what he calls “Compromise TV.” He expounded on this theory as follows: “Compromise TV to me, that definition in my mind, basically means male, female, there’s something for everybody – any age groups, grandpas, grandmas, young kids. “Everybody has got something. “Whether it’s the relationship between Amy and I, or the babies, or the marriages, or the bulldozers and Track Hoes, we’ve got the big farm that has the beautiful backdrop.” View Slideshow: Audrey and Jeremy Roloff: Why They REALLY Quit Little People, Big World

James Charles Gets CANCELED by Tati Westbrook: BYE, SISTER!

Posted on May 10, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

By mid-afternoon on Friday, James Charles and Tati Westbrook were dominating social media conversation and trending hard. It's sometimes difficult to tell what exactly is happening with all of that chatter, and nobody has time to string it all together. But we made time, and here's why the internet is cheering after beauty vlogger Tati effectively canceled James. Even if you don't follow many YouTubers or keep up with many beauty vloggers, you've probably heard of James Charles. Why? Well, at only 17, he became the first ever spokesmodel for CoverGirl. Now, he's 19 (he turns 20 later this month) and continues to be a successful influencer. But on Friday, just two weeks before he exits his teens, he began hemorrhaging followers across all platforms. Why? A callout video from friend and fellow beauty vlogger Tati Westbrook, titled: “BYE, SISTER.” We have a clip — the most serious excerpt — from the 40-minute video that Tati released on Friday afternoon. But you should know that this all started when James Charles endorsed a company that sells hair vitamins. See, his until-now good friend Tati has her own brand of Halo Beauty gummies. James was apparently assisted by another brand's security while at Coachella this year, and repayed them by endorsing the brand. Tati was livid — especially when, after nine days, he still hadn't reached out to her. “To not even get a phone call, to not even get a text a few days prior… that's pretty typical of James Charles' behavior,” Tati says. “From the time that I met him when he was 17,” she notes. “I know that he has a way of just getting what he wants.” “And,” Tati explains. “I always blamed it on his age.” But she says that James has changed more since they first met than she had ever imagined. He is no longer a person with whom she wants to be associated. “Fame, power, and a fat bank account will change almost anyone,” Tati expresses. Since his meteoric rise to fame, James has rubbed elbows with top-tier celebrities and also Katy Perry. “And if you don't have people that tell you to your face that you're doing the wrong things,” she notes. “You will change.” “I tried to be that person to you James, I really tried,” Tati laments. “I don't think there is any getting through to you and I don't want to be friends with you,” she declares. “I don't want to be associated with you,” Tati repeats. “And I need to say that very publicly so that this chapter can just be closed.” Tati says that she was instrumental in encouraging him early in his career. She also accuses him of spreading malicious rumors that treat her like a villain. But things get more serious when she begins to accuse James of being almost a predator. “You tried to trick a straight man into thinking he's gay yet again,” Tati alleges in her video. “Using your pain, your power, your money to play with people's emotions,” she accuses. “You're threatening to ruin them.” What she's talking about here is an Instagram model, pictured here, named Gage Gomez. Gage was linked with James Charles earlier this year, and even spotted alongside him at Coachella. (A great reminder that nothing good comes from Coachella) James accused Gage of “using him” for social media clout, and Gage was harassed by James' (young, impressionable) fans. But Gage tells a very different story. Gage says that he admitted to James that he was unsure of his sexuality, but says that James then began pressuring him. This wasn't just sexual pressure — he says that James would insist that he make time for him, and then viciously subtweet him if he was busy. He says that James would block and unblock him on Instagram and also invite and uninvite him to Coachella. That sounds like toxic and even manipulative behavior. James Charles has also been accused of being racist and transphobic, both in the past and very recently. We can't say that we're sorry to see him canceled — and especially not in such a thorough way. Remind us to never get on Tati's bad side.

Taylor Swift Basically Just Called Kanye West Out for "Revenge Porn"

Posted on March 15, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

We’re very sorry, folks. But the Taylor Swift versus Kanye Wesr feud is still not over. It may have just gotten a new life, in fact. Earlier this week, a post from a Taylor Swift fan account on Instagram took Kanye to task for his “Famous” video. This was the video for West’s single that featured naked wax figures of the rapper and celebrities such as Caitlyn Jenner, Amber Rose, Ray J, Chris Brown, Rihanna, Bill Cosby and Donald Trump. Replying to a Twitter thread asking for “unpopular opinions” of West, one user wrote the following: “The famous music video was straight up revenge porn. “Not to mention putting abuse victims next to their abusers and celebrating sexual assaulters. it was disgusting and he doesn’t get enough crap for it.” Following along so far? Okay… The Instagram account reposting the Twitter exchange added this: “It’s so weird to see how Kanye got away with putting realistic depictions of naked celebrities in his video. “I was reading comments the other day and people said they didn’t like Taylor because she ‘uses songs to humiliate her ex boyfriends.’ “we know that’s not true but isn’t it strange that they don’t apply that same logic to a man putting a naked woman in his music video that’s been viewed millions of times because he just doesn’t like her.” So — the reason why these posts have gone viral is because Swift actually Liked this second one. See here for yourself: “Famous,” of course, is the song that started the whole Kanye-Taylor- Kim Kardashian beef in the first place. West made a reference in it to wanting to sleep with Swift… Swift took exception to it… Kim then released a recording of her husband and Taylor discussing this exact track. The implication at the time? Swift was lying when she pretended to be blindsided by the offensive lyric ( I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex/Why? I made that bitch famous .). Taylor later clarified in her “I would very much like to be removed from this narrative” statement that she specifically never agreed to being called “that bitch” in the song. If you’ve read this far, you clearly know this whole story by now. Just a few days ago, Swift cited this feud in a new interview. She slammed Kim as a bully, saying in detail: “In my experience, I’ve come to see that bullies want to be feared and taken seriously. “A few years ago, someone started an online hate campaign by calling me a snake on the internet. The fact that so many people jumped on board with it led me to feeling lower than I’ve ever felt in my life.” She added: “It would be nice if we could get an apology from people who bully us, but maybe all I’ll ever get is the satisfaction of knowing I could survive it, and thrive in spite of it.” Read more here: View Slideshow: Taylor Swift Trashes Kim Kardashian: She’s a Bully! It sounds up there as if Swift has moved way on from the rivalry. But calling Kanye out for revenge porn? Agreeing he did that? Swift is actually accusing the star of something very serious here, something potentially illegal. For real. Just ask Kim’s brother .

Larissa Dos Santos: Look, This is Why I Hate Ashley Martson…

Posted on January 10, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Larissa Dos Santos is here to spill all the damning tea. So Ashley Martson may want to put on a bib. As 90 Day Fiance fans likely know very well, these two co-stars do not exactly get along. With no clear reason existing for the tension that exists between them, however, Larissa figured she’d go ahead this week and offer up her side of the story. And it doesn’t exactly paint Martson in the most flattering light. “One secret that nobody knows, just you now. … Ashley, she tried to be my friend in Atlanta. I was like, ‘Wait, wait, wait. I don’t know you,’” Larissa said during a recent Instagram Live video, adding: “She tried really hard to be my friend. She talked bad about Jonathan [Rivera] and Fernanda [Flores] for me.” Okay, Larissa. You have our attention. Go on… “She [said] like, ‘They are so jealous because we are in Atlanta and they are not.’ But I [said], ‘I’m not jealous of them. I’m so happy because they go to Hollywood, to L.A. to the premiere.’ “… So I think that they might say bad things about her to Dan.” Martson, pictured above, has been through plenty on 90 Day Fiance. Earlier this month, for example, Jay Smith claimed he cheated on Ashley …. by accident. The day after they got married. Larissa, meanwhile, continues to make news for her very up, down and everything in between relationship with Colt Johnson . In this instance, though, when it comes to her beer with Ashley, Larissa just wants to make something clear: Everything is Martson’s fault! “I was really nice to her. … I give her advice,” she explained on Instagram. “I was really sweet to Dan, but I was just like, ‘Wait, wait, wait.’” The Brazil native went at it with Fernanda during part 1 of the 90 Day Fiance reunion , which aired on Sunday, January 6. “Fernanda is jealous of me because she’s ugly and I’m beautiful,” Larissa said in a way only she can during the special episode. “I feel ready to do war.” Larissa and husband at least presented a united front by attacking other couples during the special. It was one of the rare times they appeared to be on the same page. “I am not proud of my actions as of late, I learned a lot about my self and I hope moving forward that I can become a better person because of it,” he wrote on Instagram in December 2018 after his wife accused him of being unfaithful . “As for my family, Larissa, my mother and the fur kids are going to try to take a break and heal. “I pray that we can all come together and remember why we are a family, why we love each other.” View Slideshow: 90 Day Fiance Stars: How Much Are They Paid?
