Kailyn Lowry: I Haven’t Seen My Dad Since 2009 … And I’m Glad!

Whether you love her or hate her, there’s no denying that Kailyn Lowry had one hell of a rough upbringing. Obviously, the most publicized aspect of Lowry’s adolescence was her teen pregnancy, which led her to seek solace and shelter with Jo Rivera’s family after being abandoned by her mother. In the years since, Lowry has described her mother as an alcoholic and stated that the two have them seldom have any contact. She’s been less vocal on the subject of her father, and it turns out there’s good reason for that. As she revealed in a recent tweet, Kail hasn’t seen her father since Thanksgiving of 2009. “The week of Thanksgiving 2009 was when I met my dad for the first time,” Kail tweeted yesterday. “And even though we haven’t met again. That was an important time in my life.” If you’ve been with the Teen Mom/16 and Pregnant franchise from the very beginning, then Kail’s revelation may not come as much of a surprise. As In Touch Weekly points out , Kailyn’s reunion with the man who impregnated her mother was captured by an MTV camera crew. “I met my sperm donor for the first and last time on 16 and Pregnant . I was 17-years-old and I never looked back. He doesn’t reach out and neither do I,” she stated in an interview earlier this year. “It gets lonely around holidays and I’m sad for my kids during those times…but I wouldn’t be where I am today if things were different.” So when Kail says the meeting with her father constituted an “important time” in her life, we assume she means that it solidified what she had long suspected: She would be forced to face the challenges of adulthood without any support from her parents. Lowry affirmed this sad reality in her most recent memoir:  “I didn’t ever have an example of a mother or father when I was growing up,” she wrote in A Letter of Love . “Since I didn’t have a point of reference on how to love, I desperately want my boys to understand that I have tried to love them in the best way that I can.” These days, not only is Kail a loving and devoted mother, she’s also a wildly successful businesswoman who has launched and maintained a one-woman media empire worth millions. We think it’s safe to say she’s one apple who fell very far from the tree. View Slideshow: Kailyn Lowry Announces “Pothead” Haircare Line, Gets Shamed By Ignorant Trolls

Paris Jackson: Spiraling Toward Another Mental Breakdown?

Paris Jackson is a model, a free spirit, and a person who’s unafraid to clap back at her own family from time to time. But recent sightings and reports have fans and family concerned about her well-being. Is Paris headed for another emotional breakdown? RadarOnline reports that family and fans alike are worried about Paris Jackson. The model and actress was spotted walking through LAX on November 12. Her demeanor was described as “zombie-walking” and her shirt and general appearance were described as “slopping.” Not usually what you’d expect from a model who’s also the daughter of the late King of Pop. Allegedly, this has added fuel to the fire of concerns that Paris is heading towards another emotional or mental breakdown. According to RadarOnline ‘s report, those who love her are seriously worried. “Paris has been out of control,” the insider claims. Well, she’s an adult, so it’s not like anyone should be controlling what she does. The concern is that Paris herself is not fully in charge of what she’s doing. “But,” the source continues. “There’s nothing the family can do!” It’s natural to be worried about your loved ones — but is their alleged fear justified? Let’s start with the eyewitness description of how she looked at the airport. Folks, she was at the airport, not a runway, not a funeral. Some people get all dolled up and formally dressed every day of their lives. The rest of us only put on pants if we have to leave the house. Paris probably dressed in comfy clothes for flying on an airplane and also for sleeping on said airplane. Just a guess. Plenty of people look less than their best after a flight. Most of us just don’t have busybodies reporting on our demeanor afterwards. And then there’s Paris’ behavior over the past year. Early this year, Paris nearly plummeted to her death while dancing on a rooftop. Those of us with a sensible fear of heights and zero inclination to risk our lives ever were horrified to watch her nearly lose her balance. She was not alone, however, and she didn’t fall–she just stumbled. But temporarily wobblings near the edge of a roof is not the same thing as climbing up to a great height and contemplating jumping. It was scary, but probably not a real red flag. Fans were happy to spot her  locking lips with Cara Delevingne , but saddened when their relationship seemed to fizzle out over the summer. When Cara was seen with  Pretty Little Liars  star Ashley Benson, some worried about how Paris would feel. But Paris made it very clear on social media that she and Cara were never exclusive, anyway. Besides, much more recently, it’s been all about Paris and Gabriel Glenn . We don’t think that her non-exclusive relationship with Cara coming to a close drove her mental health over the edge. Also, though Paris mourned her grandfather, Joe Jackson , she has loving family and supportive friends. We don’t think that his passing gave her a breakdown. It just made her sad. Paris is a hippie. She likes pot. Her hair isn’t always picture-perfect. She has a very chill approach to most things in life. That’s just part of who she is, as a person. It’s understandable that fans, especially those who are younger, might be concerned about her when they hear rumors. And it’s expected that some of her family might wish that she conducted herself differently. Paris is her own person and a free spirit, and ultimately, she’s going to live her life on her terms — instead of worrying only about optics. Good for her.
