Danielle Maltby Gets Candid About Paul Calafiore Cheating Scandal

Danielle Maltby is trying to move on. Really, she is. But The Bachelor alum was burned so very badly by ex-boyfriend Paulie Calafiore and his wandering penis that sometimes she doesn’t know if she’ll ever kiss again. “I am really struggling today… I don’t want to get out of bed even though I have tons of sh-t to get done before the Holidays,” Maltby wrote on Wednesday as a caption to a black-and-white image of herself. She added, likely through years: “Control the controllable they say. Well, I’ve tried that. I don’t like to show all my vulnerability, because it gets taken advantage of along with my love and kindness. “Most days I feel myself hardening since my relationship ended. I honestly believed I had found my person. He was everything to me. “Now the thought of dating leaves me terrified to let anyone in. It’s not like I have anything to give out anyway. “I’m trying to wrap any love I still have in me around myself.” Back in June, Calafiore (Big Brother, Ex on the Beach) confessed that he had been sticking it to Cara Maria Sorbello (The Challenge) while in a relationship with Maltby. “I am not proud of my actions these past weeks,” he told E! News at the time, ashamedly adding: “I know they speak louder than these words. I have destroyed the one person that has believed in and brought out the best in me. I have many things I need to work on and repair internally. “I want to be better. I know I haven’t earned it, but I ask for patience and privacy while I work on repairing myself.” Danielle works as a neonatal nurse and competed on Nick Viall’s season of The Bachelor in 2017, prior to briefly appearing on Bachelor in Paradise. Her fiance, Nick Haag, actually died from an apparent drug overdose in 2011. Therefore, “I’ve been in this place before,” she continued on Instagram, but “this is different. You’re still here… “I’ve been slowly draining since the lies started and my ex cheated on me. The people that know and love me, see how much this has taken from me, especially physically. “The “revenge bod” I’ve tried to joke about isn’t some new diet trend, it’s because I’ve been physically sick from the anxiety, stress, grief and lies inflicted on me for months.” Yikes. We feel awful for Maltby. Danielle went on to say that Paul – who is still in a relationship with Cara – has continued to contact her and wants to be unblocked because “we are important in each other’s lives,” in his words. “I made a lot of excuses trying to rationalize his behavior and I wasn’t able to come to terms with the fact he was able to hurt me like this,” she says. “I believe I was shown the person he wants to be but something is holding him back from it.” How can he possibly still want Maltby in his life? Danielle has a theory: “Somewhere in his mind, he has made himself believe that it’s ok to continue to tell me he needs me, misses me, still loves me and wants to fix everything. “Actions speak louder than words. “Today, I can’t explain today. I’ve just had enough… “Some days are ok, some are really good and I had a great night last night, but today, my place is a mess and I can’t get out of bed and honestly, I just hurt. I’m working on it though.” We’ve all been there, right? At least in some extent, in some way. Maltby concluded her post with a yellow heart emoji. All we can say in response is to hang in there because this, like all heartbreak, really will pass. Even if it doesn’t feel that way right now. And also: You can do so much better than Calafiore. That guy sucks.

Adam Levine Should Be FIRED From The Voice, Enraged Fans Say

After this season’s debacle, The Voice fans are saying that enough is enough. It’s time for Adam Levine to leave The Voice and never return, longtime fans of the reality singing competition say. The final straw was when he sold out a member of his own team in favor for another. That doesn’t sit well with anyone. DeAndre Nico didn’t make it to the final eight semi-finalists on Season 15 of The Voice . It wasn’t a lack of talent. It wasn’t a lack of effort. If you ask The Voice fans, they’ll tell you that it’s because his coach, Adam Levine, summarily threw him under the bus. When Nico was sick with laryngitis, his own coach urged fans to vote for his other team member instead of for him. While viewers have nothing against 14-year-old Reagan Strange, they can’t help but feel like this was a betrayal. And they’d like to see Levine booted from the show. Adam Levine has tried to smooth ruffled feathers by putting his controversial promotion of Reagan behind him. “It was a strange week, but it’s over now,” Levine said. Levine then tried to affirm: “DeAndre’s my boy.” “I love him,” the Maroon 5 singer insisted. “We talked.” Talking might make Levine feel better, but it doesn’t change what the entire viewing audience saw him do. People definitely asked DeAndre Nico what he thought about being summarily dismissed to give Reagan Strange a boost. “It was just weird because I just felt like, not being rude, I just felt like he sold me out, you know?” Nico said. Yes, we know. “And I just don’t respect it,” Nico admitted. “Just being honest.” That is very reasonable. “We did our job, sick or not,” Nico pointed out. “I just got over laryngitis, and when I came back, I still sang,” Nico continued. He made it clear that nothing held him back from performing. Nico added: “It wasn’t none of that anxiety or none of that stuff.” “I know she’s a little kid, but it’s like man, you could have put in some words for me at all,” Nico lamented. “Like something, something.” He’s right. And audiences see things the same way. The Voice fans took to Twitter to express their disgust with Levine’s behavior. “Do y’all think it’s poetic justice that Adam Levine is a spectator for #VoiceFinale?” one asks. “Is it his fault,” the tweet continues. “Or just the way the cookie crumbled??” “I’ve been boycotting The Voice but I’m watching the finals tonight,” tweets another. “Is anyone surprised that Adam Levine has no one in the finals?” the boycotter asks. “You think that indicates that he’s not a good coach?” they conclude. “Just sayin’…” “I still think, even after all the drama has passed, that Adam should leave The Voice,”  yet another fan suggests “The sour taste still hasn’t gone away,” they tweet, referring to Levine’s treatment of Nico. “A great replacement would be Keith Urban,” they claim. “If we could ever get him off tour.” Some would say that adding Keith Urban to a show that already has Blake Shelton would be at least one too many white country dudes. Others would say that it could be the perfect excuse to give Blake the boot. Everybody’s got an opinion. “Adam is despicable and needs to leave the show,” the tweet concludes. “Too late for graciously.” View Slideshow: The Voice Accused of Racism, Rigging Season 15 Winner

The Voice Recap: Who Made it to Finale Night?

Eight became four on Tuesday’s episode of The Voice, but there was one big question that needed to be answered:  Did Reagan Strange make it through the vote after the controversy over her not performing in last week’s sing-off? Many fans have been campaigning for Reagan to exit the series because of everything that happened.  Advanced to Finals Kirk Jay (Team Blake) Chevel Shepherd (Team Kelly) Chris Kroeze (Team Blake) But who was in the bottom two? Yes, the bottom two are the unlucky ones who do not get a chance at a sing-off.  Gulp.  The unlucky two were Sarah Grace (Team Kelly) and Kymberli Joye (Team Kelly). It’s time to break down the middle three performances because only one of them would get the chance to compete in the finals.  Reagan Strange (Team Adam) – “Wherever You Will Go” Controversial contestant, Reagan floundered on Monday, and her save me performance was actually worse. Who would have thought it? The 14-year-old is simply not at the level she needs to be to be at this stage of the competition, and this is partly Adam’s fault for keeping her around longer than he should have.  MaKenzie Thomas (Team Jennifer) – “Up to the Mountain” MaKenzie should not have been in the sing-off. She should have been sent to safety at the top of the installment. Her Monday performance was solid, but she’s just not resonating with the viewers who are voting.  Kennedy Holmes (Team Jennifer), “How Do I Live?” Like Makenzie, Kennedy was another performer at the top of her game. Her performance was elegant, and she had a great stage presence.  There needs to be some changes to the way the votes are cast because this show is quickly falling apart.  In the end, MaKenzie and Reagan were eliminated, leaving Kennedy to advance to the finals.  This means Adam has no more acts left in the competition. Might have had better luck if he didn’t throw DeAndre under the bus last week? The Voice finale gets underway on Monday at 8/7c. View Slideshow: The Voice Winners: RANKED!

The Voice Recap: Which 13 Singers Got the Boot?

Tuesday’s episode of The Voice whittled down the contestants, giving 13 hopefuls the boot.  It was a bloodbath for sure, but it highlights the big flaw in the format. The show takes too long to get to this stage, and it probably explains why the ratings are on the downside.  There was a lot of movers and shakers throughout the 60-minute installment, and the results played out as follows: SAVED BY AMERICA’S VOTE 
Kirk Jay (Team Blake) 
Chris Kroeze (Team Blake) 
DeAndre Nico (Team Adam) 
Reagan Strange (Team Adam) 
MaKenzie Thomas (Team Jennifer) 
Kennedy Holmes (Team Jennifer) 
Chevel Shepherd (Team Kelly) 
Sarah Grace (Team Kelly) SAVED BY THEIR COACH 
Dave Fenley (Team Blake) 
Tyke James (Team Adam) SandyRedd (Team Jennifer) 
Kymberli Joye (Team Kelly) That left the fate of Ayanna Joni and Lynnea Moorer up the in the air, and they had to perform in a live sing off.  Ayanna Joni –  “No Tears Left to Cry” Ayanna never got a chair turn during her Blind Audition, but she benefited from The Comeback Stage. American never thought her vocal ability was all that which landed her in the bottom two.  Her performance of the Ariana Grande hit was all over the place. We thought the purpose of her being taken to nurture her talent was to make her sound better.  She was bubbly, but that shouldn’t be the only trait one performer has in order to stay in the game.  Lynnea Moorer, “Boo’d Up”   With Ayanna being so out of tune, the only way was up for Lynnea, and while her performance was not as fine-tuned as it should have been, it was still better.  The true test for Lynnea will be whether her time in the bottom will light a fire under her butt to switch things up.  Lynnea was saved by America’s vote and made her way to join Team Kelly.  Ayanna, we hardly knew you, but this was the right call.  The Voice continues Monday on NBC.  View Slideshow: The Voice Winners: RANKED!
