As you’ve almost certainly heard by now, Kylie Jenner is pregnant with her first child. The news has been everywhere for almost a month, but interestingly, Kylie has yet to officially confirm that she’s expecting. Of course, the 20-year-old mom-to-be certainly isn’t denying that she’s knocked up, and she seems to be enjoying teasing her fans with subtle hints about how far along she is: That’s Kylie’s latest Instagram photo. As you can see, it’s strategically cropped and considerably less revealing than most of Kylie’s pics. It’s part of her new trend of remaining mostly covered-up and captioning her posts with some inane comment like what shade of lip liner she’s wearing. Obviously, Kylie is far too savvy to believe she’s actually fooling anyone. It seems she’s simply enjoying the act of stringing her fans along by hinting at the big announcement, but never actually delivering it. It’s a gloriously petty move, and we applaud her for it. When Kylie posts a photo of herself wearing a ski parka on a day when the temperature is approaching 90 in LA, she’s 100 percent aware of what she’s doing. And it’s a win-win situation, as her fans seem to be totally on board for it. Further proof that at the ripe old age of 20, Kylie has amassed such a faithful following that she can pretty much do whatever she wants. Elsewhere on the landscape of Kylizzle pregnancy news, there’s some paternity drama brewing, as Tyga claims Kylie is carrying his baby , not Travis Scott’s. Of course, if this turns out to be true, it’ll result in some major drama as Kylie has been dating Travis Scott since at least April. She’s reportedly only about four months into her pregnancy, so … Well, you don’t have to be a mathematician to see how Kylie might wind some major explaining to do. In all likelihood, however, the claim is just a desperate bid to remain relevant on Tyga’s part. That’s the problem with dating thirsty dudes–it’s a bit like feeding a hungry dog, as they’re unlikely to leave you alone when you want them to.

With the very public accusations of Harvey Weinstein raping multiple women and the details of decades of sexual harassment against women working in the film industry, a lot of people are talking about how this happens. Along with rightful condemnations, there are also people asking why these women — some of whom are quite famous — stayed quiet for so long. Evan Rachel Wood, herself an actress and also a rape survivor, has made a lengthy video in which she shares her thoughts on why women — herself included — don't come forward sooner. In the lengthy but captivating video titled “I'm here to tell you that I'm afraid,” Evan Rachel Wood first discusses the politicization of the Harvey Weinstein story and how both sides of the political aisle aren't helping anyone by trying to make it a political issue. She's right — it doesn't matter what side of the aisle a rapist is on. We should all stand united against that sort of evil. Then she talks about what makes women so often take so long to report sexual assaults. “In this case, and in many cases, when women come forward with a story about sexual assault or sexual harassment, people are very quick to try to discredit them or knock them down or look for any sign of foul play or any reason not to believe them.” That is a tragic reality. Everyone plays a volunteer defense attorney. “I think that some of this comes from trying to protect innocent people from being accused falsely.” Keep in mind that false accusations, though extremely rare in proportion to the number of actual sexual assaults, do occasionally happen. “But we've got to find a way to find a balance, because right now, people are wondering why more women didn't come forward sooner. And why in a lot of these cases, one woman will come out multiple women will come out and then the floodgates are open.” She explains why that happens. “People are wondering why women don't come forward sooner or why they come out in numbers. It's because it's safer. They do not feel safe enough to do so. Period.” Safety in numbers, right? “And I'm guilty of this as well, because I have not named my abusers.” That is totally her choice to make. None of us can decide for her. “Not because I don't plan on saying people's names eventually, but because … to start that process is an emotionally draining, financially draining, really everything-draining thing to do.” That's sadly true. It's not uncommon for wealthy rapists to sue their victims into silence. Rape is very difficult to prove in our justice system, sadly, which also means that it's difficult to prove if you're sued for slander or defamation for calling someone out on being a sexual predator. And lawsuits are horribly expensive. You can win a lawsuit and still go bankrupt. But she says that she'll do it when she's ready. “If you want to know who my perpetrators were, they were very powerful, very rich, very entitled, very narcissistic white men.” That is, unfortunately, not an uncommon profile for sexual predators. “And I haven't named my abusers for a number of reasons. One, I'm one person against some very powerful people. Two, money and time and re-traumatizing yourself. To go after the person who assaulted you takes quite a toll. It is a terrifying thing to have to go through.” With members of the public scrutinizing everything you've said and done out of what looks like some perverse drive to defend the accused, it sure sounds terrifying. “Mainly because you're at risk of not being believed, you career being hurt, you being drained of your finances. Because it costs a lot of money to file a lawsuit and to go to court with somebody. Especially if all that you have is your word against theirs.” Like we said, wealth can be a powerful suit of armor against all sorts of allegations. “And especially if these are very powerful people. Once again, you're at the mercy of your abusers. And you've kicked a hornet's nest. And you have a target on your back.” Evan Rachel Wood speaks about how all of this can be discouraging to women who have been raped by less powerful men, too. “Look at all of the people that have gone free. There is something in society that tells us not to trust women. And there's something in society that makes us desensitized.” That is a sad, sad reality. As for why Evan Rachel Wood doesn't name the men who assaulted her, even though they might prey upon other women? “I am not ready to go through that and to relive those things.” We absolutely do not blame her. No one can make that decision for a survivor of any kind of assault or abuse.

If you watched Monday night’s episode of Teen Mom 2 , then we probably don’t have to explain to you why David Eason is not the most popular reality star in the world this week. The episode portrayed Eason and his famously volatile wife in such an unflattering light that Jenelle Evans threatened to quit the show and deleted her Twitter profile in protest. The newly-married Easons were depicted as bickering constantly and neglecting their many children. At one point, Jenelle’s youngest son, Kaiser, nearly knocked over an MTV camera, and many viewers cited it as further evidence of Evans’ incompetence as a parent. But while Jenelle has been ranting and raving and threatening her bosses on social media, David remained quiet in the days after the episode aired. Many fans assume Eason is lying low because he was once again exposed as an unfit father who has virtually no patience for Jenelle’s kids from previous relationships. Today, David seemed to indirectly respond to the widespread criticism by posting the below photo on Instagram: As you can see, the pic shows Eason seemingly enjoying the company of his wife and daughter, as well as Jenelle’s son Kaiser, who’s seated in his lap. Many fans commented that they were confused by the photo, as David harshly disciplined Kaiser last week, and seems to not get along with Jenelle’s sons in general. We’ve seen David openly mock Jace and speak disparagingly of both boys and their fathers. Many fans have pointed out that if David engages in that sort of behavior on camera, there’s a good chance he’s even worse when he knows he’s not being filmed. Currently, Jenelle is engaged in multiple custody battles and David’s behavior seems to be making her case worse by the week. But as always, there are some diehard loyalists willing to defend the Carolina Hurricane and her troubled husband: “No matter what ppl say, honestly you been in those kids life, married their mom then that means treating the kids just like your own that includes-loving & disciplining,” commented one fan on the pic. “But either way if he just stood back while the kids misbehaved ppl would say “omg you can’t even step up and be a man/father figure.” “I must be watching a different show- kaiser is terrified of David? I remember him crying bc he WANTED David – in the backseat when jenelle had to call David on the phone while picking up Marisa,” wrote another. Perhaps Jenelle and her most faithful fans are right and David is merely being misrepresented. It’s possible–but we have our doubts Watch Teen Mom 2 online for more of Jenelle’s questionable parenting. View Slideshow: Jenelle Evans: Is She REALLY Quitting Teen Mom 2?!

Ben Higgins & Lauren Bushnell want the world to know that they’re not the perfect couple . As much as the official previews for their upcoming Freeform reality series, Ben & Lauren: Happily Ever After would like to lead us to believe, they are not without their flaws. We witnessed them fall in love on The Bachelor, but the contestants of the reality hit don’t have the best track record in relationships, so we refuse to believe they’ll actually get tie the knot until it actually happens. Having their own reality series will no doubt sweeten the deal to stay together, but at least the couple are now revealing they are not as perfect as they lead us to believe. “There are so many weird elements to being in a relationship after The Bachelor ,” says Bushnell, 26. “We’ve gotten in arguments like any other couple, but about some things that other couples wouldn’t have to fight about, like the fact that we met when he was dating other women. You can say that’s what I signed up for, but it’s still real life and it’s still hard.” Bushnell does have a point. It must be somewhat difficult knowing your significant other could have been intimate with more than one person. Ben and Lauren Sneak Peek That said, she did admit that she signed up for it. To be fair, she probably didn’t think she would emerge victorious at the end of the competition. To help keep them grounded and on the same page, the couple are undergoing couples counseling at their local church. “We want to get a foundation that is healthy and pure and honest, with some help from a mediator,” says Higgins. “Bachelor or not, our life is not easy to navigate. We have our struggles. But we won’t give up. And for every argument, we’re stronger for it.” It is at least comforting to know that they’re being proactive in getting help. It would be horrible if they just brushed everything aside for years and then divorced. “Even facing situations I didn’t know if I could handle, running away was never an option for me. I am so committed to Ben. I love him so much and at the end of the day, I want to spend my life with him.” Fans of Ben and Lauren can take solace in the fact that they’re dealing with their problems pretty much as soon as they occur.

Jenelle Evans is seriously pissed off. We know, we know. Jenelle is pretty much always pissed off. But today, she’s angrier than usual, and she may have good reason to be. You see, it’s looking like Jenelle’s boyfriend, David Eason, is headed to prison . The men in Evans’ life go to prison all the time, but it’s usually because Jenelle called the cops on them, Jenelle was doing drugs with them, they were in a shouting match with Jenelle and the neighbors dialed 911… You get the idea. Usually Jennelle is involved somehow, and often she’s the instigator of the situation. That’s not the case with Eason’s latest legal woes. The problem began when Eason’s ex – and mother of his two children – was granted a restraining order after he allegedly grabbed her and threatened to kill her in 2014. In March of this year, Eason was arrested following a run-in with the ex’s mother and aunt at a grocery store. Witnesses say the mother and aunt were shopping with Eason’s son when they ran into Eason himself. He was reportedly warned to keep his distance, but approached and “grabbed” his son anyway. Eason says the boy ran up to him , and he merely gave his son a hug. Yesterday, a North Carolina judge found that Eason violated the terms of his restraining and sentenced him to 60 days behind bars. That’s when the Jenelle Twitter tirade began. In a series of now-deleted tweets, Jenelle wrote: “The judge found him guilty saying, ‘An unwanted hug is a form of child abuse.’ “Same judge that granted the no-contact order and that wrote up his custody papers when he had no way to even fight against his ex, the judge even knew this. She hates David.” Jenelle went on to claim that the judge “How respectful,” she continued. “Declared him unfit and he gets his daughter every weekend and allowed around my kids? Haha right.” Yes, because Jenelle Evans is so selective about whom she allows around her kids. In case you forgot, Jenelle doesn’t even have custody of her oldest son. We’re not saying that makes her a bad judge of who’s a fit parent and who isn’t, but … yeah, on second thought, that’s exactly what we’re saying. Anyway, Jenelle deleted the tweets shortly after she posted them. View Slideshow: Jenelle Evans and David Eason: Romance Rewind! No word on what prompted her to do so, but it may have something to do with the fact that David is appealing his sentence. After all of Jenelle’s experience on the wrong side of the law, you’d think she’d know enough not to piss off judges.

Oh Babs. In a teaser for the upcoming episode of Teen Mom 2, Jenelle Evans and her boyfriend, David Eason let his daughter and her son, Jace run around in the front yard unsupervised while they did God-knows-what in her bedroom. All of a sudden, Babs pulled up and did NOT like what she saw. Since the front door was open (by production, maybe?), Babs walked into the house and called out for Jenelle – hell, anyone over the age of 18 – to come out and explain why her grandson was playing out front with no one watching him. “What the heck? You got all the kids outside. Nobody’s watching the kids,” Barbara said to Evans, who was on the other side of the bedroom door. “Can somebody please open the door?” “Leave me alone,” the mom-of-two was heard saying. “What do you got her imprisoned David?” Evans asked Eason “She can’t come out of the room? If you think that Jace is going to stay here…” At that point, Eason came out of the bedroom with Kaiser. “What is going on?” Eason, with an infuriating 'tude, informed Evans that her daughter didn't feel like talking. “Yeah, why? Because you told her not to?” she pushed, really frustrated that no one bothered to explain why Evans wouldn't come out of the bedroom. Eason locked the door from the inside, which set Evans off. “You can leave if you are going to yell at me,” Eason warned Evans while still holding Kaiser. “You will leave,” he said. “You’re in my house.” Oh HELL no, Evans declared. “You live here and she pays all the bills like every other guy?” Point: Babs Eason then called the cops to have Evans removed from the house , which was caught on camera. “He states that his girlfriend’s mother came to the house uninvited, screaming and yelling at him in front of the children and the subject in the house is Barbara Evans,” a officer at the scene recalled. Is Babs in the right? Should Eason have called the cops on her?
