For a while there, it seemed like we were talking about Pilar Sanders at least once a week. Her divorce and subsequent custody battle with former multi-sport athlete and current commentator, Deion Sanders , was messy. Text “RICKEY” to 71007 to join the Rickey Smiley Morning Show mobile club for exclusive news. ( Terms and conditions ). From 2011 until 2017, the former couple publicly went back and forth from everything from their prenup to allegations of abuse and infidelity, Deion called her mental health into question. Ultimately, he ended up suing her for defamation of character. She was ordered to pay him $2.2 million. The decision was later reversed. And ultimately, she was granted custody of her children . It was a lot to watch it play out from afar, so I can’t imagine what it felt for her to live it. Last year, Sanders, 45, spoke to The Shade Room , offering women advice on how to move on with your life after a messy breakup. She shared that “Life goes on and one monkey doesn’t stop the show regardless of how public or private the breakup is.” but she also announced that she was in relationship with Rap-A-Lot Record executive and former manager of Floyd Mayweather Jr., J. Prince, 55. While J. Prince is regarded as a legend in the development of Southern rap , he made headlines most recently for discouraging Drake from responding to Pusha T’s diss track, “The Story of Adidon.” When she spoke to The Shade Room last year, Pilar didn’t go into any details about the origins of their relationship. She simply said at the time that she was “very, very happy.” Well apparently, the two have taken their boo-ship to the next level. Pilar recently shared an Instagram post flaunting what appears to be an engagement ring.

A post shared by British Vogue (@britishvogue) on Nov 7, 2019 at 8:56am PST The “Cuz I Love You” singer opened up in the interview, speaking candidly about a range of topics including how anxiety fuels her as a performer. “When I get really, really anxious before a show, I just go harder and harder and harder when I’m performing and I just go crazy,” she says. “I don’t know why, but my anxiety sometimes fuels who I am as a performer and who I am as an artist – and I know that is not the case for everyone. I don’t know if my body just, like, out of a desperate need to find a place for my anxiety or find a use for it, takes it and puts it there,” the Houston-raised rapper admitted.

A post shared by British Vogue (@britishvogue) on Nov 7, 2019 at 9:16am PST On the lack of plus-sized representation in pop culture growing up: “I would watch things on television and I would look at magazines and I would not see myself. When you don’t see yourself, you start to think something’s wrong with you. Then you want to look like those things and when you realize it’s a physical impossibility, you start to think, ‘What the f**k is wrong with me?’ I think that took a greater toll on me, psychologically, growing up than what anyone could have said to me.” View this post on Instagram “I’m not trying to sell you me, I’m trying to sell you, you.” In today’s image-obsessed age, @LizzoBeeating is a megawatt beacon of self-assurance – so utterly herself that it is impossible for it not to rub off on you.

A post shared by British Vogue (@britishvogue) on Nov 7, 2019 at 10:02am PST On people ( perhaps Azaelia Banks ) who believe Lizzo is using body positivity to gain popularity, Lizzo had this to say: “Anybody that uses body positivity to sell something is using it for their personal gain. That’s just it. We weren’t selling anything in the beginning. We were just selling ourselves and selling ourselves on the idea – selling ourselves on ourselves, you know? I’m not trying to sell you me. I’m trying to sell you, you.” LOVE IT! You better tell ’em! In an accompanying video, Lizzo keeps it 100 about her “first acts,” which she shared that she was hungover shooting her Vogue cover, that her first memories of music were gospel music and the first album she ever bought was Destiny Child’s “Survivor.” Take a look: Congrats Lizzo!

Last month, Cynthia Bailey revealed that Kenya Moore still loves her cheating husband , Marc Daly. It’s one thing to hear it from a friend. It’s even worse to hear it from Kenya herself. In a new interview, the first-time mom confirms that she’s still in love with Marc. She even threatens that they could reconcile. Speaking to Us Weekly, Kenya admits that Marc Daly “still is” the love of her life. “I love my husband,” Kenya says, even though the two of them split some time ago. She opines: “But I think that we’re not operating from a good place right now, prior to announcing [our split].” That’s both a complicated statement and a vague one. In a line sure to make countless fans worry, she admits that she is at least open to the idea of reconciliation. “But I do think that things could get back on track,” Kenya spculates. She notes that this would be possible “if you have two people that want to.” Notice how Kenya continues to avoid confirming any of what Marc may have done. Kenya seems to have accepted that this could just be a hurdle, stating that sometimes “couples go through things.” She does not explain what that “something” might be in this particular situation. Kenya states that what happened to fracture her marriage may actually be forgivable. As she sees it, a person “can get over” just about anything with the right mindset. Girl, that does not sound healthy. “There were difficulties in terms of distance,” Kenya says, taking vague references to marital problems to new heights. “And, you know, when [our daughter] Brooklyn was born,” she explains. “It changed our dynamic as a couple.” One, if having a kid changes your dynamic for the worst, either don’t have a kid or get a better partner. Two, we hope that Brooklyn doesn’t grow up, read that interview, and feel like she ruined her mom’s best chance at happiness. “So, it’s been really hard to get things back on track,” Kenya expresses. She then threatens: “but I’m still very hopeful that we can.” “I just don’t know what the future holds,” Kenya concludes. None of us do, but it sounds like Kenya is hyping herself up to make a terrible mistake instead of a clean break. Why are fans of The Real Housewives of Atlanta so thoroughly disgusted with Marc and so opposed to the idea of a reconciliation? It’s simple: they saw how much Kenya sacrificed for Marc. First, she held their wedding in secret, cutting Bravo out of a major life milestone in a way that infuriated showrunners and producers. Then, Marc remained camera shy and Kenya went along with it. For a time, it cost her her job. It’s true that Marc eventually agreed to film and that Kenya was able to return to the franchise, but she missed out on a whole year of stardom. And for what? For a man who allegedly cheated on her left and right . Marc had previously made very reasonable complaints about how he’s observed black men on RHOA portrayed as partners. How is a man going to make a point like that and then go cheat on the mother of his child? Kenya deserves better.

Come on now, Jacqueline Laurita. Don’t beat around the bush. Tell us how you really feel about Teresa Giudice. Appearing on something called The LookOver Ladies podcast this Tuesday night, Laurita absolutely laid into the polarizing Real Housewives of New Jersey star, referencing the rumor that Teresa cheated on her husband and citing the joint interview she recently did with Joe. “They both did each other wrong,” Laurita said simply, adding in pointed detail: “They both cheated on each other, they both did wrongdoing. “They don’t trust each other. That’s the problem with the marriage — besides the resentment, the time apart, there’s no trust. They don’t trust each other. They both know that each other have been unfaithful.” That seems nearly impossible to disagree with. Joe certainly thinks Teresa cheated and Teresa has flat-out said that she won’t remain in the marriage if/when Joe officially gets deported to Italy. Jacqueline — who ceased being a regular castmember on The Real Housewives of New Jersey in 2014 — went on to say she thinks Teresa resents Joe for a number of reasons … and that she’s never been able to take accountability for her own illegal actions. ( Teresa spent time in jail after pleading guilty to her role in a bankruptcy fraud scheme, and seems like a very awful individual overall.) “She’s a narcissist, sociopath,” Jacqueline said this week. Of Teresa’s financial scheming, the ex-reality star says: She didn’t know everything, but she is not innocent for sure. I know this. And I think that she’s angry at [Joe] because she felt like she spent that time away from her kids, her family, the public embarrassment. A nd also the fact that once she got out, her mom passed away shortly after, and she was very close to her mom, so she looked at it like a time of that year I could’ve spent with my mom before she died, but I had to spend it here. Yes. Because she committed a crime. Teresa has said many times that she won’t move with her daughters to unite the family in Italy, a decision that Laurita finds appalling. “If that was my husband and my husband had to do all that, I would go wherever he went,” Jacqueline said of Joe’s likely deportation to his native country . “When I was in New Jersey, when my husband got the job out here [in California]…it wasn’t an easy decision for me because I had family here obviously, but I still had to pick up my kids, uproot them from their [lives] to move them out here. “I don’t care if my husband had to go out of the country. I don’t care where he went, I love my husband so much, wherever he goes, I would go with him.” View Slideshow: Teresa Giudice vs. Joe Giudice: The Most Shocking Interview Reveals! Laurita went on to say Teresa is forcing her kids to live in a “toxic environment” because they are so often in the press and being teased at school. Laurita also called Teresa a “very calculated manipulator” and continued to trash the Bravo personality: She’s a narcissist, she really believes that she’s like this… She’s famous? She’s infamous! I would never wanna be famous for flipping tables, acting classless, being dumb and being a felon. I’m sorry! I just wouldn’t want that. Giudice was front and center on last night’s Real Housewives of New Jersey premiere ; she clearly isn’t leaving the spotlight any time soon. “It’s actually sad,” Laurita concludes of how Teresa has changed. “When I first met her, she was very lighthearted, ditsy, but always just so funny because she was so stupid. I think that she would just say dumb things, and I would laugh all the time. “I always had laughs with her. It was lighthearted and fun. I wasn’t a threat to her, so she didn’t show that ugly side of her to me because I’m one to praise my friends, I like them to feel good, that’s what I did for her. I helped her out, I made her feel good. “Teresa likes ‘yes’ friends and people who will always agree with her. She likes fans, not friends.” In the end? “She [has] no loyalty to her family, I’ll tell you that right now,” Jacqueline says.
For a long time, NeNe Leakes was one of the longest reigning “RHOA” housewives, scoring a paycheck higher than her fellow cast mates. But according to Kenya Moore , Kandi Burruss is now the highest earner of the bunch. On a recent episode of the “Wendy Williams” show, Moore revealed that her relationship with NeNe is full of tension, particularly after NeNe threatened to spit on the mom of one. “Well you’re after her paycheck,” Williams insinuated. “I make my own money,” Kenya clapped back, but Wendy didn’t let up. “As a housewife, she’s the top biller.” Text “RICKEY” to 71007 to join the Rickey Smiley Morning Show mobile club for exclusive news. ( Terms and conditions ). “That’s not true,” Kenya corrected. Continuing, “Kandi makes the most money. So if I was coming for anyone’s purse or bag it would be Kandi. Kandi is the real HBIC on that show, ok? I’m just a player, I have a nice coin. My little bag I take home at night and it feeds my child very well, so I’m not coming for anybody’s money.” Kandi is the second longest running cast member of “RHOA” behind NeNe since she joined in season 2. But when you add up all the time spent on screen, because NeNe took a break from the show during season 8, the two have appeared on the series almost an equal amount of time. According to Celebrity Net Worth, Kandi is worth a whopping $35 million. At the time of the report, Kandi’s “RHOA” income was estimated to be around $450k per season. Not only is Burruss a housewife but she’s also a Grammy Award winning songwriter and record producer, and she owns multiple businesses.
