Throughout Jersey Shore ‘s original run, Jenni Farley did her best to steer clear of the drama. Sure, she might step in and casually cold-cock someone when the situation calls for it, but for the most part, JWoww preferred to quietly collect her MTV checks and leave the overwrought displays of emotion to her co-stars. But as we all know, sometimes drama finds you, and Jenni’s life has been loaded with conflict in recent months. The latest dust-up involves Farley’s boyfriend, Zach Carpinello, and his decision to grope Angelina Pivarnick , while a drunken Jenni slept mere inches away. Farley dumped Carpinello when she first saw the footage (captured by Jersey Shore cameras), but now they’re back together, and it’s a whole mess. But before that debacle, Jenni was dealing with even more intense drama as a result of her divorce from Roger Mathews . What initially appeared to be an amicable split has devolved into a nightmare of a protracted divorce, complete with revelations that Roger was abusive to Jenni during the final months of their marriage. Unable to keep the drama off camera any longer, Jenni opened up about these struggles during a recent episode of Shore . “We were talking about regrets earlier, and I’ve been thinking about the biggest one,” she said to Snooki, who promptyl blurted out, “Roger. He’s the f–king worst. But you always knew it wasn’t right.” “Yup,” JWoww replied. Jenni put a positive spin on the situation, noting that if it weren’t for her time with Roger, she wouldn’t have her two kids. “They’re my bliss,” she said, “as I’m suffering.” “I’m going through it with the divorce,” she later added in a later confessional segment. “It’s been like almost a year since I filed. When you get a divorce, you’re supposed to be celebrating and like start a new chapter, but it’s really heartbreaking,” Jenni said. “And it’s stressful, the up-and-down battle of figuring out custody issues. I just don’t know when it gets better. It’s more than exhausting; it can like mentally break someone. I just want peace.” Understandably upset at being called “the worst” on national TV, Roger responded in a statement issued to Us Weekly : “You don’t spend almost a decade of your life with only one person then just never care about them again,” he said. “You can act like you do but you’re probably lying,” Mathews added. “Hatred spawns from love.” To be fair, Jenni never actually said that she hated Roger, but it’s not hard to see how he might have surmised such animosity on the basis of her comments. But while we can see why Roger might be offended, he really doesn’t have any right to be. The best thing he could do at this point is take a tip from old-school JWoww and just take a seat on the sidelines while the drama unfolds.

Abbott To Stop His Execution Amid New Evidence Rodney Reed is scheduled to be executed in Texas on November 20th. He’s been on death row for 21 years for the 1996 murder of Stacey Stites in Bastrop, Texas. Police claim Reed assaulted, raped and strangled Stites, but he has ALWAYS maintained his innocence . The case has drawn significant media attention, with Reed gaining support from a number of public figures including Kim Kardashian , Dr. Phil and Shaun King all rallying for his execution to be stopped and another suspect to be thoroughly investigated. View this post on Instagram Watch this. We need ALL HANDS ON DECK. Rodney is going to be wrongly executed in 16 days. @DrPhil knows what I know. Rodney did not commit this crime. Go NOW to FreeRodneyReed.com, join our team, sign our petition, and let’s save this man’s life. The link is in my bio. A post shared by Shaun King (@shaunking) on Nov 3, 2019 at 7:28am PST Much of the support for Reed comes on the heels of former inmate Arthur Snow Jr. filing an affidavit in court earlier this week saying Stites’ fiancé, Jimmy Fennell, confessed to the murder years ago. In 2010, while Snow was serving a sentence for forgery at a DeWitt County, TX prison when he made a deal with Fennell, who was seeking protection from other prisoners, according to the affidavit. At the time Snow was a member of the Aryan Brotherhood gang. According to CNN reports, Snow’s affidavit states he was in the prison yard with Fennell when he began bragging about killing Stites: “Jimmy said his fiancé had been sleeping around with a black man behind his back,” Snow wrote. “Toward the end of the conversation Jimmy said confidently, ‘I had to kill my n*****- loving fiancé,’” he added. “My impression was the Jimmy felt safe, even proud, sharing this information with me because I was a member of the Aryan Brotherhood. I think Jimmy assumed that his confession would impress me and earn him credibility with the Aryan Brotherhood.” SMH. Snow claims he didn’t know about Reed’s case until a few years ago when he saw a photo of Fennell along with an article about Reed while he was jailed in Texas’ Hays County for a different offense. He says in his affidavit that that is when he realized Reed had been imprisoned for the murder Fennell confessed to him. In the meantime, Fennell’s attorney, Robert Phillips, said Snow is a career criminal and his claim is not credible nor in the “world of reality.” It’s worth noting that Jimmy Fennell served time in prison for rape years after Stites murder, but his attorney notes he’s since been released and has converted to Christianity and been helping people with drug addictions, Phillips said. Fennell, who is a former police officer, was identified as a suspect during the police investigation into Stites’ killing, but he was never formerly charged. Reed’s attorneys filed an application for clemency last week as they attempt to block his execution. According to CNN reports , Bryce Benjet, a senior staff attorney at the Innocence Project and Reed’s lead counsel, said evidence clearly shows that Reed did not kill Stites. “Mr. Reed’s execution is less than one month away, meaning Texas is frighteningly close to executing an innocent man,” Benjet said in a statement. Between the medical and scientific evidence, and multiple new, credible witnesses, the original case trial has been completely deconstructed and disproven.” In the meantime, Reed’s supporters are asking for Texas Gov. Greg Abbott to intervene and stop his execution.

Source: Prince Williams / Getty Reality Stars Joseline Hernandez & Stevie J In Custody Battle Over Toddler Daughter Bonnie Bella “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta’s” Stevie J will continue to have full custody of his daughter with former co-star Joseline Hernandez until at least early 2020, BOSSIP has learned. Last week, a Georgia family court judge pushed back a status hearing on the case for another four months and ordered the exes to attend mediation to possibly settle the matter, court papers obtained by BOSSIP state. That means that Stevie will continue to enjoy primary custody of the girl, who will be three next month, with Joseline having visitation. Stevie also no longer has to pay Joseline $1,000 a month in child support. Instead, each parent has to bear the costs of caring for the girl when she’s in their care. We exclusively revealed that Stevie sued Joseline earlier this year for custody of the tot, arguing that she’d cut him out of her life and was shacked up in Miami with another guy. He argued that he was more mentally and financially capable of caring for little Bonnie, and asked the judge to force Joseline to pay him child support. But the Puerto Rican Princess denied keeping Bonnie away from Stevie, and said she was doing the best she could to raise the little girl. The pair’s due back in court in February 2020, where the judge said he may make a final judgment. We’ve reached out to lawyers for both Joseline and Stevie J for comment.

If you’re a Teen Mom 2 fan, then you’re probably aware that Jenelle Evans and Kailyn Lowry are not the best of friends. And by “not the best of friends,” we mean earlier this year, Jenelle literally set fire to a peace offering from Kail and posted the video on Instagram. But hard times often make for strange bedfellows. And it seems Lowry would be more than happy to reach out to Evans in her time of need — and maybe even try once again to repair their fractured relationship. As you’ve likely heard by now, Jenelle has filed for divorce from David Eason . This could signal a new start for Evans in more ways than one. After all, David is the main reason Jenelle got fired from Teen Mom 2 , and when he shot her French bulldog Nugget, he also helped kill what was left of her reputation. (Evans was never well-liked by viewers, but helping a dog killer conceal his crime was the last straw for many.) In the wake of the divorce, Jenelle has mostly steered clear of social media, which is probably a wise decision, and not only for legal reasons. Evans likely has a complex story to tell, and she’ll need to capture every nuance if she wants to gain the sympathy of a public she’s been alienating for the past decade. That can be hard to do in a tweet thread. And that’s where Kail comes in. Lowry is the host of the popular Coffee Convos podcast, and it seems she’d be open to interviewing Jenelle for her audience. “If the latest news about Jenelle is true, would you and @LindsieChrisley be willing to have her on the podcast to tell her story if she was open to it?” a fan recently tweeted to Kail. “For sure!” Lowry replied . “I texted that in my group text with my producers… I just don’t have a way to contact her.” Based on the response she received, it seems that such an interview would be a hit with fans. “I would love for yall to reconnect and see you help her thru this,” one follower commented. “You and @TMLeahDawn – she needs strong friendships,” another wrote. Jenelle’s Teen Mom co-stars helping her through her divorce would be the twist no one saw coming. Evans didn’t get along with any of the other moms during her time on the show, and in her divorce announcement, she credited her time away from TV with giving her the clarity she needed to realize her marriage isn’t working: “With time away from Teen Mom, I’ve started to look at my life differently and I know I need to make changes. I’m starting that now,” Evans wrote on Instagram last week. “The kids and I have moved away from David. Nobody gets into a marriage expecting it to end but I know that’s what is best for me, and for my kids,” she added. “Today I’ve filed papers to start that process. I appreciate the support from everybody who has asked how I am,” Jenelle wrote, concluding: “Me and the kids are doing great. We need some time to be together, but you’ll hear from us again soon.” Jenelle’s re-entry into public life won’t be easy. And she may find that the harm she did to her public image with her years of bigotry and abusive behavior is irreparable. If she has any hope at all of regaining the affection of Teen Mom 2 fans, she’ll need help — and no one is a better position to offer that assistance than Kail Lowry.

Source: Smoove Gal / Smoove Gal With social media so saturated with products being thrown at us, it often feels like we’re in a daze just swiping on our feeds. But a few months ago, something rare happened to me. During my normal timeline graze, I came across something that grabbed my attention and made me ask myself, “Wait a minute, what is this?!” See, someone on my timeline retweeted one of the dopest structured eye palettes I have ever seen. First, shaped like a pyramid, SmooveGal Beauty’s three-dimensional Egyptian Paradise Palette ($40) boasts a whopping 24 deeply pigmented hues, ranging from an emerald green matte to a champagne neutral shimmer. With a range like that, there’s something for every look, trend and season of the year, which I adore. Even better: The EP palette was created by Autumn Hulett , a 20-year-old Black woman who attends Prairie View A&M University. (I super adore) I NEED EVERYONE TO RETWEET THIS ! The makeup community needs a 3 dimensional eyeshadow palette invented by a black woman in their households !!!! This is SERIOUS! https://t.co/ZhbpVh0MuQ — Undeniably Dope Individual (@FlyBrownHuniee) September 3, 2019 After seeing the viral tweet, I just had to know more about the woman behind the product. Doing some research, I found that SmooveGal initially started with a lash line before Hulett decided to expand to shadows. I reached out to Hulett and from our phone conversation, I was super impressed with her professionalism, eye for design and utter passion for the beauty game. Here’s what the incredible marketing major had to say about her EP palette, breaking into the industry and what’s up next. HelloBeautiful: So, please tell me. Where did SmooveGal come from? Autumn Hulett: Well, I had this job in high school, but I got fired because I didn’t want to drive across town to go to work. (Laughs) But I knew I needed money. Coming from a family of hustlers, I knew how to make it work. So I started SmooveGal and initially started selling accessories and wallets. But I was also really into beauty and I love switching up my look so people don’t recognize me. At the time, I also loved wearing lashes and would go to the beauty supply store down the road and buy a pack of $1 lashes and I would end up spending $40 because they didn’t last. I was wasting my money and that’s when it hit me that I needed to create, buy and sell my lashes. HB: Well, and being at an HBCU with so many Black women, you have the perfect market right at your fingertips. AH : Exactly. Black women are the largest consumers when it comes to beauty and makeup. Plus, [a lot] of Black women are really into lashes! So I came out with my line freshman year after I got a refund check and was like, “Let’s do this!” I started dragging a big old wagon of lashes around campus, but the wagon was too small, so I googled “hot dog” cart,” bought one for $300, fixed it up and started selling my lashes out of that. HB: That is so awesome! So you went from lashes to shadows? AH: Sophomore year I was my dorm chilling and I just asked myself what if I did a pyramid palette and what If it was 3-dimensional? OH SNAP! [Laughs). So I looked around and had all of these old lash boxes and I started cutting them and began carving out the idea. I took a mirror from an old palette and started gluing, taping and cutting holes into things. From there, I tried to get it into production and I was told no a lot. Folks told me it’s impossible and that no one would be able to create it. But I found someone who could do it. HB: Walk me through the shadows and the structure. I’ve never seen anything like it before. AH: Well, there are 24 shades, with 6 colors on each of the four panels. The middle is the mirror and it can stand up on its own, be a vanity to go or just a decorative piece in your room. HB: How did you end up picking the shadows. AH: I have a lot of friends at my HBCU that are makeup artists and I asked them did they mind using my shadows on their customers. I also wanted feedback, honest feedback such as which shadows worked better than others, which were easier to blend, you name it. I didn’t want them to let up on me. If these shadows sucked, let me know. What they told me was helpful, because I needed to make sure these colors showed up on and worked for Black women. Source: Smoove Gal / Smoove Gal HB: With names such as Isis and Nubia, what is the palette’s theme? AH: While anyone can and should use the palette, it’s an ode to Black women and an ode to Egyptian culture. That mattered to me. To do the research, make sure I got it right. Goodmorning orders are going out this morning pic.twitter.com/jfk9B35Ddx — Undeniably Dope Individual (@FlyBrownHuniee) November 4, 2019 HB: Did you expect the response to your palette to be this overwhelming? That tweet went viral girl. AH: Never! I mean, I know have this great concept, but I didn’t think it would be like that. I am just happy that people are recognizing how dope it is and looks. HB: This is such a great time to be a Black woman in beauty. From Mented to Fenty, it’s so great to see this product be part of the landscape, BUT be so different than what’s already out there. AH: Thank you. I try to stay humble because I am still a baby out here. I’m literally just someone out of Texas, an HBCU, but no one has seen this before. And God forbid Rihanna or Kylie comes out with some crazy spaceship concept, but all in all, I did this, first and I am proud of that. HB: As you should be. Finally, what’s next for you and SmoothGal? AH: Well…I can’t say too much other than it will be a whole stepping outside the box and that the next collection, which should come out next spring, will be related to the EP palette too. BEAUTIES: The EP palette is now 20 percent off ($32)! Purchase it here. This interview has been edited and condensed for clarity.
