Mackenzie McKee: Back with Her Husband ALREADY?!

If you've been keeping up with Mackenzie McKee, then you know her marriage hasn't been going well lately. It's been going so badly, in fact, that she's getting a divorce. Mackenzie has said a lot about how everything's been going, her reasoning behind the split, all sorts of things. But thanks to these new photos she just shared, we're starting to wonder if the split is even happening at all anymore … 1. So Much History Mackenzie and Josh have been together for a long time — they welcomed their first child in September of 2011 when they were both very young. 2. Memories They got married in 2013, had their second child in 2014, and their third in 2016. 3. What’s Been Happening? While Mackenzie is on Teen Mom OG now, she wasn’t on TV at all for most of all that — she had her 16 and Pregnant episode, the one season of Teen Mom 3, and then not much at all until MTV picked her back up recently. 4. Hmm So while we know oodles and oodles of information about all the other Teen Mom couples, we only know bits and pieces about the McKee marriage. 5. Real Talk And what we have heard over the years … well, it’s not great. 6. Ouch Remember when Mackenzie had postpartum depression after giving birth to her last child? She said then that she was suicidal, and that Josh had told her “Go kill yourself, but don’t do it in front of me and the kids.” View Slideshow

Cory Wharton Tries to Silence THOT in Wake of Dong Pic Scandal

Cory Wharton is about to be a father for the second time. As previously reported, the alleged Teen Mom OG personality and girlfriend Taylor Selfridge are expecting a child . This is an exciting time for the ex-boyfriend of Cheyenne Floyd, who made many headlines in 2018 by appearing on the aforementioned MTV series as part of a storyline with Floyd, a relatively new member of this franchise. HOWEVER, a damning new allegation may be preventing Wharton from being in a celebratory mood right about now. What does he have to say about the new pregnancy? What does another woman have to say about Cory? What did the website which broke a scandalous story involving Cory and said other woman do now that his attorneys have evidently gotten involved? Scroll down to find out… 1. Who is Cory Wharton Again? He is the father of Floyd’s daughter, Ryder, but there’s a slight caveat: He didn’t know he was the father until this little girl was six months old. 2. Huh? What Do You Mean? That’s when Floyd finally dropped the news on Wharton, who totally accepted responsibility and who seems to be pretty close to his first child. 3. What About Cory and Cheyenne? They spent all of Floyd’s first season on Teen Mom OG fighting and flirting, teasing a long-term relationship but never committing to one mostly because Wharton did not want to. 4. And Now? Floyd has a new boyfriend and Wharton has been dating Taylor Selfridge since February of 2019. 5. They’re More Than Just Dating Now, Though Wharton and Selfridge confirmed to Us Weekly on October 16, 2019 that they’re expecting a son or daughter. Surprise! 6. She Didn’t See This Coming! “It was definitely a surprise,” Cory told the tabloid, adding that he and Taylor found out about the pregnancy two months ago and she’s 11 weeks along. View Slideshow

Ashley Martson and Jay Smith: It’s Over! Again!

Ashley Martson and Jay Smith are no longer dating. In and of itself, this is not a shocking statement. The 90 Day Fiance stars are nearly as unstable as fellow reality TV personalities Jen Harley  and Ronnie Ortiz-Magro. But the circumstances behind their latest split may come as a shock to even those who have followed the couple very closely over the past several months. How so? Scroll down for all the sordid details… 1. What’s the Deal with These Two? Martson and Smith met on a 90 Day Fiance, with the latter hailing from Jamaica and needing to marry a U.S. citizen in order to live here permanently. They wed in 2018, as seen on 90 Day Fiance Season 6. 2. What Went Wrong After That? Uhhh… everything? For starters, Smith was caught using a dating app days after their wedding. He was chatting with other women on Tinder. 3. Was It Over After That? Not exactly. The stars broke up and then reconciled and then Ashley filed for divorce in January 2019 and then took it back and then filed a second time in April 2019. 4. For What Reason? Because Smith was caught with a woman in a barbershop bathroom. This was merely the latest example of him cheating on his wife. Jay was then taken into ICE custody after he violated a protective order Martson had against him. 5. So It Was Definitely Over Then, Right? It sure sounded that way. “Honestly, I don’t really care if he’s deported,” Ashley told In Touch Weekly just this past August. 6. What the Heck Happened from There? It’s sort of unclear — but there were concerns in September that they got back together again after the two attended the same event in Pennsylvania. Ashley later confirmed that she was, indeed, willing to give Jay yet another romantic shot. View Slideshow

Sister Wives Fans Unite, Wonder in Unison: Where is Kody?!?

Move over, Carmen Sandiego. Take a seat, Waldo. When it comes to a national search for a well-known figure, we have a new candidate for folks from coast-to-coast to be on the lookout for… … Kody Brown! Over the past few weeks, multiple members of Brown’s polygamous family have been sharing new family photos on social media. Take Christine, for example. The veteran reality star shared the following photo just a few days ago, explaining her fun adventure featured within it as follows: “Went to Bearizona today!! Super fun experience. Definitely saw many bears.” She included with this caption the hashtag “funwithfamily,” except here’s the thing: a rather important member of this family was absent, not taking part in the fun. Christine posted this message — along with several photos of some of her children and her grandson, Axel, enjoying the outing — with no sign of her husband. Anywhere. For her part, meanwhile, Meri Brown has not shared any photos with Kody in several months. The same can be said for Janelle Brown and Robyn Brown. With rumblings all around the Internet about the future of this popular show and the relationships that comprise it, fans can’t help but wonder: Why isn’t Kody seemingly EVER with any of his spouses?!? “Hey, just seems like [you’re] a single parent you do everything with [your] kids, where’s Kody?” asked one followers on Christine’s Instagram page, in response to one of her new photos. Another posed the same question; Does y’alls husband ever go anywhere with [you]? And then another addressed Christine as follows: Wish your family would update everyone on stuff. Like where is Kody? [You] and the other wives never post any pictures of him and [Robyn] has stopped posting altogether. Makes the rumors of Meri leaving and Robin [sic] divorcing Kody sound more true. Ah, yes: Those rumors… Meri has clearly been unhappy for years now. Granted, she moved with everyone else from Las Vegas to Arizona last year, but she is yet to put down roots there. As previously reported, Meri is merely renting a home , refusing to accept the notion that this is her permanent residence and perhaps that this is her permnanent romance. Remember her castfishing scandal from 2016 ? And subsequent quotes from Kody about how he and Meri are starting over and trying to just “date” for a little bit? There’s really no attempt at even hidingthe fact anymore that Meri doesn’t like her ongoing marital arrangement. What about all that aforementioned Robyn Brown divorce chatter? Unlike Meri, you won’t hear many complaints from this Sister Wives star herself — but we still have reasons to believe she wants out. Heck, we have reasons to believe that Sister Wives as a whole is in chaos . TLC has not yet announced a return date, although we’ve been hearing January 2020 for awhile, and Kody never seems to issue any statement that counters the narrative of general tension throughout his marriages. Could this be the end of the line for everyone involved? Will they soon go their separate directions? We may soon find out.

Source: Justin Sullivan / Getty Johnson & Johnson Recalls Bottles Of Its Signature Product After Finding Trace Amounts of Asbestos According to CBS , Johnson & Johnson recalled 33,000 bottles of baby powder after federal regulators found trace amounts of asbestos in a single bottle purchased online. The recall reportedly only pertains to lot number “22318RB.” A spokesman added that the company is still gathering information and investigating the issue. This recall comes on the heels of several lawsuits the company is facing.

Last week, a Philadelphia jury awarded $8 billion in punitive damages against J&J after their drug was linked to the abnormal growth of female breast tissue in boys.

Welp: Jamie Long Calls Marriage To Total’s Pam ‘Counterfeit’, Shuts Down Claims He’s Using Cyntoia Brown For Fame

Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty Jamie Long Responds To Ex-Wife’s Claims He’s Manipulating Cyntoia Brown Cyntoia Brown’s husband has been catching slack for “using her” after his ex-wife, Pamela Long of the singing group Total, called him a ‘diabolical manipulator’. Now the Christian is clapping back at her claims and denying their marriage was ever REAL. In an interview with The Breakfast Club , Long said: “I think it was very selfish. I don’t know if she’s trying to reinvent her career, I don’t know what she’s trying to do. I think it was very selfish of her to do that. We’re serious about what we’re doing, we’re serious about the message. You know I’ve been divorced from Pam almost four, five years man. I didn’t even see her that much when we were married. I just feel like it was selfish of her to come out and do something like that, because you discredit what my wife is trying to do, trying to attach your name to something like this.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by J.LONG (@j.longjfam) on Sep 19, 2019 at 5:06pm PDT Jamie even addressed Pam’s claim that he was using Brown for fame . He responds, calling his ex-marriage counterfeit and his union with Cyntoia “real”. “What do I have for sale? I no longer participate in the music industry. That’s not my thing. I gave that up. I tend to my home, I tend to my wife, I tend to my business. We are very financially stable. I’ve heard something about… because my wife has a book deal… with our without a book deal my wife is gonna be straight, cause we straight.” “I was married before. And I married the wrong woman. I had the right intentions but I married the wrong woman, and I wasn’t doing that no more. Sometimes the counterfeit comes before the real thing. And we fall for the counterfeit sometimes. This time I know I got it right. This is my best friend.” Hit play at the 35-minute mark to hear Jamie address his ex’s public remarks about him.
