Jenelle Evans appears to have come to her senses… … at last. The polarizing Teen Mom star doesn't seem to be with David Eason any longer; not after all the ugly words exchanged between the couple and, of course, the apparent physical confrontation they got into last October. If Evans really is splitting from Eason, it's obviously the right call. But one aspect of this potential break-up has us a bit concerned. We explain why down below… 1. Let’s Consider This Photo Cute, right? Just your basic cute snapshot of Evans and her young daughter, Ensley, right? We hope so. 2. But Might It Be a Message for Eason? Evans wrote “MommasGirl” as a caption to the picture; which, again, could mean nothing. But calling so-called possession of the child in the midst of what must be an ugly break-up? It could also mean a lot. 3. Eason Does Actually Seem Close to Ensley The little girl was born in January of 2017 and Eason, for all his MANY faults, does seem like a dedicated father to her. 4. Just Consider This Photo Eason shared it just a few days before Jenelle claimed ownership of Ensley, writing as a caption: “Love of my life! Her first time on an airplane!” 5. Let’s Say a Divorce is Imminent… … does anyone think David would just let Jenelle have primary custody of his toddler? 6. And Here’s the Scary Thing: Eason may have an actual case he could make it front of a judge. View Slideshow
On Friday, disgraced rapper R. Kelly was arrested on 10 charges of aggravates sexual abuse , 9 of which refer to the victim being a minor. Reports suggested that at least some of the charges may relate to a video that shows R. Kelly sexually abusing a 14-year-old girl. Now there’s a new video that’s longer … and even worse. TMZ reports that celebrity attorney Michael Avenatti, who obtained the earlier video for police, will turn over another on Monday. The first video was said to be just under 45 minutes. The new one, stored on VHS, is reportedly about 55 minutes in duration. The same 14-year-old girl from the previous video is reportedly featured in this one. The first video was reportedly filmed in 1999. This second one was filmed in 2000. Here are the gruesome details. Just as in the previous video, Kelly is said to be “coaching” the girl on the sexual performance that he wants from her. (Notably, this is consistent with horror stories shared by adult women, who said that he had bragged about training some of his women from young ages) Multiple times during the video, R. Kelly is said to be seen choking the girl while having anal intercourse. At another point, he is said to spray this girl in the face with some sort of lotion. He is said to then choke her again, mount her from behind, and turn her to face the camera for a “reaction shot.” As always, the details of R. Kelly’s alleged sexual predation, both upon underage girls and adult women, are haunting. Some may hesitate when seeing that these videos are older, but we have to note that Kelly was very much an adult man, in his thirties, in 1999 and in 2000. Prosecutors have to wade through a tremendous amount of filth in order to determine which charges apply. And these two videos are not the end of it. There is a third video that prosecutors do not yet have on their hands — but they hope to acquire it, soon. Michael Avenatti is said to be in the process of procuring a third tape. This tape is said to also show R. Kelly, but with a different girl — aged somewhere between 13 and 16 years. TMZ reports that Avenatti’s team has identiifed someone who is in possession of the video. He is working to acquire it so that he can hand it over to prosecutors. The first tape was given to Avenatti by his client, a man who knew and worked with Kelly for years. More than a decade ago, R. Kelly was acquitted of numerous charges stemming from an alleged collection of underage porn. In an infamous video, a man said to be Kelly urinated upon an underage girl. However, both Kelly and the young woman told the court that they were not the people in the video. For the 2008 jury, that was enough. Many are hopeful that the jury pool has a better understanding of how men use fame and wealth to get away with heinous acts thanks to #MeToo. And perhaps the docuseries, Surviving R. Kelly , has also helped. Either way, Kelly’s arrest was long overdue. And as disgusting as these tapes may be, the prosecution may need a mountain of evidence to counteract the kinds of attorneys that Kelly can afford. View Slideshow: R.

Source: Handout / Getty Michael Avenatti is going in for the kill. Reportedly, the outspoken lawyer is turning over yet another R. Kelly sex tape to authorities. Actually, it’s more like a sexual assault tape since the victim was reportedly just 14-year-old at the time the film was made. Reports TMZ : Sources familiar with the case tell TMZ … attorney Michael Avenatti will turn over a 55-minute VHS video Monday to Cook County prosecutors. We’re told the video shows R. Kelly having sex with the same 14-year-old girl depicted in the first video Avenatti obtained, which was shot in 1999. This second video was shot around 2000. We’re told, just like the first video, there are multiple references to the girl being 14 years old. Our sources say R. Kelly is repeatedly “coaching” the girl through various sexual situations. At one point, we’re told R. Kelly is seen choking the girl while having anal intercourse. Our sources also say there’s a part where he takes some sort of lotion and “sprays” it all over her face. We’re told he then chokes her, mounts her from behind and turns her face to camera for a reaction shot. Word is Avenatti is also seeking a third video. Also, he plans to go after R. Kelly’s “enablers” who have allegedly aided him in getting away with supposed abuses for over 20 years. R. Kelly has been indicted and charged with 10 counts of criminal sexual abuse.

According to TMZ , people on the Empire set believe that Jussie used a hate crime attack on Lee Daniels’ cousin as source material for his alleged attack. Last month Lee posted the following video to his Instagram account explaining what happened: View this post on Instagram This past week my cousin was beat up for being gay and I am sick of hearing these stories. It’s the beginning of a new year and we need to do better. We need to continue to remember to love and to turn against the hate that we’re seeing out there.

The theory is that some Empire employees believe that this is where the wheels in Jussie’s head started to turn. That maybe he could be come what is described as an “LGBT hero”. This story is bad enough as it is. We really hope Jussie didn’t stage a hate crime based on a real hate crime.

Tamar Braxton and Lolo Jones are at each other’s necks again on social media, and clearly they both want smoke. Lolo shared a video of herself on Instagram prepping for the Summer Olympics, and shaded the hell out of former Celebrity Big Brother alliance member Ricky Williams, who evicted her from the house. She wrote, “Praying I get thru practice … also Lord if you could give me a new pair of lungs bc I can’t breathe and my asthma pump is 50m away. Oh Wait Lord one more thing Also could you help me forgive Ricky Williams?…But like not right now but like maybe in 10 years I will be ready.” View this post on Instagram Praying I get thru practice … also Lord if you could give me a new pair of lungs bc I can’t breathe and my asthma pump is 50m away and my teammate is clearly recording me AND not trying to assist me with life saving skills in Jesus name I pray .

She commented under the olympian’s post: “Yeah forgive @williams because at this point you are doing the MOST!! It was a game Lolo and to be honest we all bullsh***d each other. Getoverit.com #stillloveya” The CBB winner may still love Lolo, but judging by the runner’s clapback, she doesn’t feel the same about Tay Tay. Lolo clapped back telling Tamar that she was just joking with the caption, but: Use the $240K and buy some more wigs. Can’t wait to see ya. We all know that Tamar isn’t letting anyone get the last word. She wrote back, “I will buy me a wig right after you buy you a husband.” Do you think these a just jokes? Or is it on site for Tamar and Lolo?

As you’ve likely heard by now, Jordyn Woods was caught hooking up with Tristan Thompson at a house party earlier this week, The fallout was severe for Tristan, who has finally been dumped by Khloe Kardashian. But believe it or not, it might be far worse for Jordyn. Woods was living in Kylie Jenner’s guesthouse when news of the cheating scandal broke. Now, she’s been kicked out and forced to move back in with her mother. Worse than the loss of Jordyn’s living quarters, however, is the loss of Kylie’s friendship — and all it’s lucrative implications. Kylie is soon to be the world’s youngest billionaire , and Jordyn was poised to be her Gayle King. Kylie is one of the few people on the planet so wealthy and famous that being a member of her inner-circle amounts to a career. Jordyn was in on the ground floor — and she threw it all away for one night with a dude who plays for the freakin’ Cavs. So it should come as no surprise that Woods is already out hustling — making appearances and glad-handing in hopes of ensuring that she’ll still have some semblance of a career once the dust settles. While most stars would be keeping a low-profile if they were in her position, Jordyn attended a launch party for her fake eyelash brand Eylure on Thursday night. Jordyn Woods on Tristan Thompson Scandal She briefly addressed the crowd, and — as you can see in the video above — she even made passing reference to her current scandal. “Through everything that’s been going on, you know it’s been real, and Eylure has been super real,” Woods told the crowd. Needless to say, “it’s been real” is a bit of an understatement. Now, Jordyn is being accused of not taking the situation seriously enough as a result of her remarks. To be fair, however, this was a professional event, and it probably wouldn’t have been a good look if she’d gotten up there and sobbed hysterically. Then again, if she did that and her Eylure eyelashes remained in place … What a lost viral marketing opportunity!
