27 Scandals That Rocked Reality TV

Just when you think it can't get any worse than Kenya Moore going off on Porsha Williams, along comes Juan Pablo Galavis. And then just when you think the lowest rung of the reality TV ladder has been reached due to the outright racism of the Big Brother 15 cast, along comes Teresa Giudice actually going to jail due to financial fraud. And then just when you're willing to write these examples off as exceptions and embrace reality television again, along comes Josh Duggar confessing to sexual molestation and… well… … it doesn't get any more grotesque than that. Here is a look at 27 scandals that have absolutely rocked the world of reality television. 1. Josh Duggar Admits to Sexual Molestation That title says it all, doesn’t it? In the spring of 2015, Josh Duggar of 19 Kids and Counting fame apologized for molesting multiple young girls when he was a teenager. 2. TLC Cancels Here Comes Honey Boo Boo Give the network credit. It pulled the plug as soon as rumors spread of June Shannon dating her daughter’s former molester. EWWWWW! 3. Big Brother 15 Just the entire season, really. These homophobic and racist cast members caused us to lose faith in pretty much all of humanity. 4. Everyone Hates Juan Pablo Galavis Juan Pablo Galavis was asked about a potentially gay Bachelor and responded: “I respect [gay people], but I honestly don’t think it is a good example for kids to watch that on TV.” He then went out and sounded like an even bigger moron during the actual season. 5. Duck Dynasty Debate Phil Robertson also got in trouble for making homophobic remarks to GQ. He then issued a statement that read: “My mission today is to go forth and tell people about why I follow Christ and also what the bible teaches, and part of that teaching is that women and mean are meant to be together. However, I would never treat anyone with disrespect just because they are different from me.” 6. Jon and Kate Plus HATE Jon and Kate Plus 8 was once a beloved show on TLC. Until it was revealed that Jon and Kate actually hated each other and were kind of terrible people. View Slideshow

Mama June: See Her Transformation Through the Years!

Can you believe that it's been five years since we were first introduced to Mama June and her wild and wacky family? It's true — all the way back in 2012, we saw a little girl called Honey Boo Boo on TLC's Toddlers and Tiaras. We met her family, including her mother, June, known for couponing and for her infamous “go-go juice.” (Just in case you missed this fascinating origin story, “go-go juice” is a mixture of Red Bull and Mountain Dew that June gave her kid to keep her energy up during beauty pageants.) They were so fascinating that they landed their own reality show, Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, shortly after their Toddlers and Tiaras episode premiered. The show lasted for four seasons until it was abruptly canceled in 2014 after June reportedly began dating a convicted child molester . After that, the family left the spotlight for a bit, but not for too long — June and her partner, Sugar Bear, did a stint on Marriage Boot Camp. And of course she's had her new show, Mama June: From Hot to Not, in which she lost a ridiculous amount of weight and shrunk down to a size 4. It's a lot to take in, right? So let's just sit back, relax, and see Mama June go through all those changes right before our eyes … 1. The Introduction Here’s our very first glimpse of June on Toddlers and Tiaras. Seems like a lifetime, huh? 2. Here Comes Honey Boo Boo! Here’s June in the first episode of Here Comes Honey Boo Boo — not much has changed, since the show premiered just months after the Toddlers and Tiaras episode, but she definitely feels more comfortable with the cameras. 3. Oh, June … … She really is very comfortable, isn’t she? 4. Blonde Mama June! After the first season of the show, June went blonde, which is now her signature hair color. The transformation is happening! 5. Them Curls! And sometimes, when she’s feeling saucy, she does some tight, heavily styled curls! 6. Red Carpet Ready! This is June, all cleaned up. So.

Mama June Shannon Rushed to Hospital After Collapsing at Home

We’ve just received news that “Mama” June Shannon has been rushed to the hospital after passing out at her home earlier today. According to TMZ, the Here Comes Honey Boo Boo star collapsed after walking down the stairs in her Georgia house. She reportedly regained consciousness but then fainted again several times afterwards, prompting her 16-year-old daughter Lauren “Pumpkin” Shannon to drive her to the hospital. Mama June had vomited multiple times and complained of feeling unwell throughout the day. Apparently, she had been trying to stick to a diet and admitted she hadn’t eaten much. Doctors are still unaware of the reason behind Mama June’s mystery illness, but are moving forward with blood work and a CT scan to determine the cause. Mama June has dealt with her share of controversy over the years.  Here Comes Honey Boo Boo , which features June as the mother of a child pageant contestant, has been described by many as “trainwreck” programming that viewers loved to hate. The mother of four most recently appeared with her ex, Mike “Sugar Bear” Thompson, on Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars , on which the pair tried to save their relationship.  On the show, Sugar Bear revealed that he’d cheated on her several times with different women and had experimented with men. However, a lie detector test taken for the show also proved that Mama June had not cheated on Sugar with her ex Mark McDaniel, a convicted child molester. We’re sending positive vibes to June and her family during this time.

Taylor Lianne Chandler Concealed Criminal Past, Threatened Michael Phelps’ Sister, Source Claims

Last week, our exclusive interview with Taylor Lianne Chandler  provided an insider’s perspective on the hotly-debated and often confusing relationship between Chandler and embattled Olympic legend Michael Phelps. Chandler has balked at being referred to as Phelps’ girlfriend, yet says she felt betrayed when she found out he was romantically involved with other women. She admits she was with him the night of Phelps’ DUI arrest , but claims she was not in the vehicle and had not been drinking with him. The details of their time together that seem to have intrigued and baffled most who have followed this story, however, involve Chandler’s gender identity and whether or not Phelps was aware that she was born with both male and female genitalia.  THG was the first to report on the relationship between Chandler and Phelps , and in the weeks since we interviewed her, several sources have come forward contradicting her claims regarding everything from her ties with Phelps to her criminal history. The most intriguing stories involved Chandler’s alleged attempts to exploit the Phelps family and mislead the media. One insider informs us that Chandler once “threatened [Michael’s sister] Hilary Phelps on several media outlets.” The source says “attorneys are involved and there is an ongoing investigation” and adds that “Taylor has threatened Octagon [the agency that represents Phelps] and has been telling them she would release information if they did not pay her.” This same insider (who wished to remain anonymous) reveals that Chandler has a long history of deception and extortion. Indeed, it seems that Chandler (who was going by the name of Paige Whitney and Paige Whitney-Daniels at the time) was once arrested on extortion charges and wound up serving time. She later appeared on The Maury Povich show to discuss the strange experience of being a transgender inmate in a men’s prison. The newspaper clipping above describes Chandler’s arrest. The newspaper identifies her as both David R. Fitch and Paige Whitney-Daniels. It also describes her as a “transvestite,” which may help explain why she was sent to a men’s prison. In previous interviews, Chandler claimed that she was born “intersex ,” and has been legally identified as a woman for her entire life.  It is not known if she made this claim to mislead Phelps or try and hide her criminal past, but an email that she sent while Phelps was in rehab reveals that he was not aware of her gender identity at the time that they had sex: These days, Chandler is under contract with Vivid Entertainment to make several adult films, which may be another factor thats led her to continue concealing certain aspects of her past. While it is her relationship with the world’s most famous Olympian that made her famous, several sources assure us that there will be no further contact between Chandler and Phelps. Phelps recently got engaged to Nicole Johnson , and one insider assures us that “Nicole is standing by her man,” and that the Phelps family simply wishes Chandler would quietly return to her life of obscurity.

The Voice Season 8 Episode 7 Recap: An Agonizing Choice

The Battle Rounds continued last night on NBC’s The Voice Season 8 Episode 7, with the coaches facing some difficult choices in terms of who to advance. Pharrell, in particular, seemed to agonize over one decision … Kimberly Nichole vs. Lowell Oakley (The Voice Battle Round) Kimberly Nichole vs. Lowell Oakley (Team Pharrell): Their duet on “Hound Dog” thoroughly flummoxed their coach, who took an eternity to declare a winner. Lowell was it. Somewhat surprisingly. Pharrell again crafted a terrific Battle Round performance, but one that assured he would cut loose a great talent. Luckily for the supremely strong Kimberly, she was stolen by Christina, who may have just landed one of the favorites to win this thing, by accident. Briar Jonnee vs. Caitlin Caporale (The Voice Battle Round) Briar Jonnee vs. Caitlin Caporale (Team Pharrell): This one wasn’t as challenging for their mentor. Both were good, but Caitlin was better. It showed. She won the battle, and no steal was used on Briar. Barry Minniefield vs. Jack Gregori (The Voice Battle Round) Barry Minniefield vs. Jack Gregori (Team Adam). Barry took this one rather easily (to us) and advanced to the Knockout Round with a victory over Jack. He’s “Feelin’ Alright” or better than alright after this effort. Katelyn Read vs. Treeva Gibson (The Voice Battle Round) Katelyn Read vs. Treeva Gibson (Team Christina): An unusual and slightly uneven but solid enough performance yielded a clear winner in Treeva. No steal was awarded to Katelyn, so she’s going home. Brenna Yaeger vs. Kelsie May (The Voice Battle Round) Brenna Yaeger vs. Kelsie May Team Blake): Not the best take on Reba’s “Fancy” by either singer, as both were a bit off at times and clearly nervous. Based on her potential, Brenna got the nod. No steal. India Carney vs. Clinton Washington (The Voice Battle Round) Clinton Washington vs. India Carney (Team Christina): Finally, a barn burner! India was incredible in winning this battle, but her rival also won acclaim. That was enough to keep Clinton on the program. Adam swooped in for the steal, meaning that both he and Christina ended the night by cutting one singer and adding another, better one to their rosters. Not bad for a night’s work on the hit competition. Who was your favorite on The Voice Season 8 Episode 7? Did the coaches make the right decisions? Whose team looks best so far? Hit the comments!
