JWoww’s Terrible Ex-Boyfriend Admits That He’s Terrible

Zack Clayton Carpinello has come clean. About how he seemingly wanted to come all over Angelina Pivarnick during last week’s intense episode of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation . Sorry, that was a tad bit crass, wasn’t it? It’s just that Carpinello’s action on the aforementioned installment were also a tiny bit crass… to say the least. As MTV viewers witnessed a few days ago, Carpinello opened the episode by asking far too many personal questions about Pivarnick’s sex life. After his girlfriend, Jenni “JWoww” Farley then passed out from drinking at a nightclub, Zack proceeded to cozy way up to Angelina, even grabbing her butt at one point. The inappropriate actions were caught on camera, meaning a sober Farley could actually sit back and watch them for herself a few days ago. Shortly after doing so, she broke up with her young boyfriend . And now, to Carpinello’s credit, he’s taking full responsiblity for acting like a jackass. “I made mistakes that I cannot take back, which I take full responsibility for,” Zack wrote in a statement on his Instagram over the weekend, adding: “Jenni does not deserve any damage from anybody else. This is on me. I sincerely apologize to Jenni. I apologize to Angelina as well.” Angelina, for the record, is engaged to someone else. “I love Jenni, with everything I have, I make this known to be every day,” Carpinello concluded. “I will continue to do everything to make this known to her and her kids, who also have my heart. I will make it certain that nothing like this ever happen again, in any way regardless of outcome.” It’s unclear whether Farley is considering taking Zack back, but Us Weekly confirms the exes did hang out with Jenni’s two kids on Saturday. They were spotted at Field Station: Dinosaurs theme park in Leonia, New Jersey, with the reality TV star’s daughter Meilani, 5, and son Greyson, 3. “They weren’t lovey dovey or touchy. They were more civil than acting like a couple, but he was affectionate and sweet with the kids,” a source told this tabloid, noting that Farley’s father was also in attendance and that everyone there “made s’mores.” Granted, s’mores are delicious. But does this mean Farley wants s’more (sorry) of Carpinello? “After seeing tonight’s episode I’m pretty hurt,” Farley wrote on Thursday via Instagram. “I feel disrespected by someone I called a friend and by someone who stated they loved me.” The episode (and therefore Zack’s wild groping) took place a long time prior to the episode airing, meaning Farley had been going around with her boyfriend, thinking nothing had transpired. “For 5 months I was naive, probably laughed at and made into a story line that will forever haunt me. My heart hurts on so many levels,” she wrote, continuing late last week: “One thing I learned from tonight’s episode is know your value. Don’t ever lower your standards.” Farley and Carpinello were first linked in March after she split from her ex-husband, Roger Mathews, with whom she shares those two young kids The question now is how much more intense things will get on air between Angelina and Jenni? Based on the trailer below, the answer appears to be: A LOT more intense. Jersey Shore Trailer Teases “All-Out War” Between Jenni and Angelina

“Girl, You’re Gangster”: Rihanna Defends The ‘Vogue’ Writer Who Got Major Backlash For Winging Their Interview

Source: James Devaney / Getty Rihanna Stands Behind The Writer Who Interviewed Her For Vogue Rihanna is a woman of the people, so she’s not here for all of the slander Abby Aguirre–the writer behind her latest Vogue cover story–is facing. After the profile was published, the reporter was bombarded with backlash over her confession that she had gone into the interview without any questions prepared. Here’s the excerpt from the story that had everyone up in arms: ‘Normally I bring a list of questions, but I didn’t have time to prepare one, which I make a split-second decision to confess. “I’m winging it, so you have to help me,” I say nervously. Rihanna flashes a grin that is somehow both reassuring and mischievous. “Aren’t we all?” she says.’ When reading this sentence out of context, it’s easy to see why people are upset: How could you NOT be prepared for an interview with Rihanna? And better yet, why would you ADMIT that to her…and then, on top of it, publish that admission within the article?! Here’s what Aguirre had to say when the backlash initially started pouring in: GUYS. I was driving to Trader Joe's in sweatpants when I got the call and literally had to flip a bitch. I research my subjects to death. *Especially* Rihanna. I appreciate the anger behind the reaction. But this is a misunderstanding, for which I take full responsibility. — Abby Aguirre (@abby_aguirre) October 9, 2019 I had literally no notice. The point was to convey how nerve-wracking this was, given my deep, bordering-on-psychotic reverence for Rihanna. — Abby Aguirre (@abby_aguirre) October 9, 2019 There are still a lot of folks who aren’t okay with her explanation, for a lot of reasons, but as for Rihanna, she came to the writer’s defense once she was alerted of the goings on. “Wait, wait, what?” Rih told WWD   when asked about the criticism of Aguirre’s interview. “No, no, no, no. That’s gangster. For you to get a call the day before being like, ‘Hey, Rihanna’s in L.A., you wanna do this?’ And show up on the dime and write an incredible article that I’m really proud of and enjoyed reading? She’s badass for that.” The mogul went on to say, “If you don’t have to prepare, girl, you’re gangster.”

Jenelle Evans and David Eason: Proof They’re Abusing Animals AGAIN?!

Jenelle Evans doesn't have the best track record when it comes to keeping her pets happy and healthy, you know? It's actually kind of a whole thing. Over the years, we've seen her treat quite a few animals badly, and it's always been difficult to see. But after what happened with Nugget earlier this year, you'd think she'd have learned to be a bit more careful. No such luck, as it turns out … 1. Looking Back As we said, Jenelle has never been much of an animal lover — remember back in the day on Teen Mom 2 when she crammed her two big dogs in one crate, yelled at them, then opened the door for them to go outside and tried to get them to run away? 2. Memories Or what about the time she tried to get her dog to play fetch with a lit firework? 3. Ugh And then there was the the time when her dog started showing up in photos with what very much looked like a broken tail. She never seemed too concerned about that. 4. RIP Nugget All of that was truly awful, but it was nothing when compared to what David did to Nugget. 5. Poor Pup Nugget was Jenelle’s little French bulldog, and she appeared to be especially attached to it. But when the dog nipped at Ensley, David thought that instead of trying to train the dog or teach his kids how to interact with animals, he’d just take the dog outside and shoot it. 6. A Mystery Some reports claimed that he beat the dog before killing it, others claimed that when he came back inside afterwards, he was covered in blood. Even if none of that was true, the fact remains that he killed the poor little dog, and that clearly was not OK. View Slideshow

#AtatianaJefferson Black Woman Fatally Shot By White Police Officer In Her Own Home

This is Atatiana Jefferson. She was 28 yrs old, a graduate of Xavier Univ. and lived w/ her nephew. A Fort Worth, TX cop shot and killed her thru her window as she stood peacefully and unarmed in her own home. Black people are subject to deadly force even when they stay home. pic.twitter.com/09dA2nl3v5 — Kristen Clarke (@KristenClarkeJD) October 13, 2019 Atatiana Jefferson Killed By White Police Officer In Her Home The death of a black woman minding her business in her home before being killed by police is causing Botham Jean comparisons. Atatiana Koquice Jefferson, 28, died Saturday after a Forth Worth, Texas officer opened fire on her inside her house. NBC Dallas-Forth Worth reports that a neighbor called the police to report that Jefferson’s door was open. An officer who arrived on the scene peered into Atatiana’s window and spotted her and yelled, “Put your hands up — show me your hands,” before opening fire and shooting her. The young woman was shot once and although aid was rendered she was pronounced dead. The officer who killed Atatiana has yet to be identified but authorities tell NBC he’s on administrative leave pending an investigation. He’s also been confirmed as white. Fort Worth Mayor Betsy Price released a statement on the shooting. “Writing a statement like this is tragic and something that should never be necessary. A young woman has lost her life, leaving her family in unbelievable grief. All of Fort Worth must surround Atatiana Jefferson’s family with prayers, love and support,” Price said. Mayor Price has promised a “complete and thorough investigation” to be conducted by Police Chief Ed Kraus, which will then be forwarded to the Tarrant County District Attorney Law Enforcement Incident Team. This is so incredibly tragic and sad. We’re thinking of the family and friends of Atatiana who lost their loved one for absolutely no reason.

Real Ragers Only: Travis Scott Injures His Knee Mid-Performance & Refuses To Leave The Stage

Source: Steven Ferdman / Getty Travis Scott Suffers A Serious Injury During His Latest Performance Travis Scott brought the ASTROWORLD  experience to Citi Field on Saturday, performing as one of the headliners for Rolling Loud’s first time in New York. The festival was already undergoing some issues–with certain performers on the lineup catching the attention of the NYPD –but Travis found himself hurting by the end of his set. The Houston native was performing his track, “BUTTERFLY EFFECT” when he jumped up and landed wrong on his right knee. Travis Scott just broke his Knee at Rolling Loud and he’s still performing after this. @RollingLoud pic.twitter.com/LwsZ1152eq — $hari (@kingin77) October 13, 2019 Later on in his set, Scott went on to say, “I ain’t gonna lie, I think I just broke my knee right now. But this show cannot stop just yet,” before continuing his performance as planned. At some point in the show, Travis put on a make-shift knee brace and went on with the rest of his performance–if you know Scott, you know how seriously he takes these concerts and giving his fans an experience to remember Of course, the comparisons to Michael Jordan’s famous flu game were all over the place. This man Travis Scott just performed with a broken leg, I can’t see the difference. pic.twitter.com/wu1JSFsj73 — showtime_lee (@lee_showtime) October 13, 2019 As of now, there’s no word on whether or not Travis actually broke his leg–but that fall did look pretty gnarly. Luckily, though, he’s got some time to recover. Right now, Scott’s next performance isn’t until November 3 in Las Vegas for Day N Vegas festival, so hopefully he’s all healed by then. If not, he’ll probably find a way to make it on stage anyway.
