As spotted on HipHopDX the record executive has long been romantically tied to Ashanti . While the rumors have persisted both he and the “Baby” songstress have denied any physical interactions—until now. On a recent visit to The Wendy Williams Show, Lorenzo admitted that the two were intimate after he separated from his wife. Naturally, Wendy couldn’t contain her inner joy as he spilled this never before brew of tea. “When me and Deb separated, she caught me cheating — this is why I’m here. Ashanti is not a home wrecker, guys! Ashanti had nothing to do with me and Deb — Deb caught me when I was directing ‘I Cry’ in Baltimore” he explained. Gotti went into detail that he too fell victim to the classic girlfriend swoop down. “Deb being the vicious person she is, she came down unannounced. She said, ‘I’m Mrs. Lorenzo. Give me the room key.’ The door was latched, but she knows I’m in there. That’s what broke me and Deb up.” But to hear the Tales producer tell it he did nothing wrong as he and his wife’s relationship was already a thing of the past. “I can’t mess with another girl until I sign the divorce papers?” he asked rhetorically.

When F. Scott Fitzgerald famously uttered, “The rich are different from you and me,” Ernest Hemingway quipped, “Yes, they have more money.” Our response would have been equally dismissive, but a bit more peevish — something along the lines of “yeah, no sh-t, Scotty. When they get convicted of federal crimes, they spend less than two weeks behind bars, and they roll up to their cushy community service assignments in six-figure sports cars.” Take a look at the strange case of Felicity Huffman, for example. Back in March, Huffman pled guilty to paying an SAT proctor in order to help her daughter cheat on the exam, thus ensuring the girl a place in the college of her choice. There were rumors that the judge was planning to throw the book at the actress, but in the end, Huffman was sentenced to 14 days in prison . Those who considered the punishment ridiculously lenient were even more incensed when Felicity was released 3 days early, serving just 11 days behind bars. Last week, Huffman was released from jail, and she promptly got all emotional, because that’s what she’s been doing at every stage of this process. And now, the second stage of her sentence begins. In keeping with the “slap on the wrist/white privilege” motif that’s thus far characterized Huffman’s jaunt through our criminal justice system, the actress must pay a $30,000 fine and serve 50 hours of community service. Earlier this week, she was spotted leaving The Teen Project, an organization dedicated to helping at-risk youth. It’s fitting, in a way, as kids from disadvantaged backgrounds are the ones who are less likely to be admitted to college because rich people insist on buying a place in the student body for their already-insanely-privileged kids. Apparently to pour salt in the woods of those who feel this was a grave miscarriage of justice, Huffman was reportedly chauffeured from the facility in her husband’s Porsche. So has she learned anything from any of this? Almost certainly not, but she talked a good game throughout the sentencing process: “I’m sorry to you, judge. I am deeply sorry to the students, parents and colleges impacted by my actions,” the Emmy-winner said in court. “I am sorry to my daughters and my husband. I have betrayed them all. “I think this is the right sentence here,” U.S. District Court Judge Indira Talwani told Huffman at the time of her sentencing. “You can move forward and rebuild your life after this. Without this sentence, I think the community around you would ask why you got away with this.” Yeah, because we’re sure a harsher sentence would’ve made it impossible for the rich, famous actress to rebuild her life. During her pre-sentencing testimony, Huffman recalled the emotional turmoil she’s suffered as a result of her actions. “My mind keeps returning to the 30-minute drive to the testing center. I kept thinking, ‘Turn around,'” Huffman says the worst part of the whole ordeal was when her daughter asked why she didn’t believe in her ability to get into college on her own: “I had no answer,” Huffman said. “I can only say I’m so sorry, Sophia. I was frightened, I was stupid, and I was so wrong. I am deeply ashamed of what I have done. I have done more damage than I could ever imagine. I realize now with my mothering that love and truth go hand in hand. I take full responsibility for my actions.” When an awkward conversation with a teen was the worst part of committing a federal crime, you know the sentence wasn’t harsh enough.
Teresa Giudice and Joe Giudice have not seen each other in about three years and eight months. That sounds crazy, but it’s true. The Real Housewives of New Jersey star confirmed as much herself during her joint interview with her estranged husband late last month on Bravo. This will change in the near future, however, as Teresa is planning a trip to Italy with her four daughters some day soon. Why must they go to Italy just to see their husband/father? Because Joe recently completed a 41-month stint in prison due to his role in a bankruptcy scheme perpetrated by himself and Teresa. He was then ordered to be deported because he commited this crime without being a U.S. citizen… and was then released from ICE custody — as long as he returns to his native country — while he awaits a decision on his appeal. So that’s where Joe sits right now: waiting to learn about his legal future. And also about his marital future, as he and Teresa do NOT sound like a couple that thinks it will remain a couple for very much longer. During the aforementioned Bravo special, Teresa and Joe each opened up about the fate of their relationship. “I’ve been on my own now for three years and seven months and … we’re both two different people now and I don’t know. I’m not the same Teresa I was and I know he’s not the same Joe,” Teresa told Andy Cohen. Teresa added at the time of Joe: “I do love him as a person. I do. I still care about him. I love him. I don’t know how I’m going to feel when I see him. That’s why I’m so nervous when I see him. I love him. “He’s my husband. We have children together.” Those are facts. But it’s also true that Joe and Teresa both think the other had been unfaithful . That can’t bode well, can it? This all brings us back to the upcoming Italy trip. “When I go see him in Italy, we’ll figure that out,” Teresa said when asked where her relationship stands at the New Jersey Ultimate Women’s Expo on Sunday, November 3. Joe, meanwhile, seems aware that Teresa wants a divorce . “Listen, as long as she’s happy, that’s all that really matters,” he said to Cohen. “I’m not going to tell her what to do. If she doesn’t feel like she wants to be with me anymore, that’s the thing to do.” View Slideshow: Teresa Giudice vs. Joe Giudice: The Most Shocking Interview Reveals!

Meghan King Edmonds is fighting back. The former Real Housewives of Orange County cast member, who left the franchise in 2017, has sat down for her very first interview since her husband filed for divorce late last month. Jim Edmonds didn’t merely file for divorce, either. He did so after he and his wife got into a vicious argument over rumors that he had been sleeping with the family nanny. This rumor followed a scandal-plagued summer in which both Jim and Meghan responded to the former having had an explicit relationship with another woman . Jim has claimed this relationship never went beyond inappropriate text messages, but still: Damage had been done to the relationship long before the divorce filing and nanny chatter. With the whole Internet buzzing over his alleged new affair (again, with THe NANNY!), Jim has spoken out on numerous occasions; first trashing Meghan for spreading such a lie and then calming down and saying some kind things about her . To kick off her chat with Us Weekly, Meghan referenced this change of tone from her estranged huband. “I have to say that when he gave the ‘nice’ interview a few days ago, he was completely speaking for me. At that time I had not exchanged one text message with him and I have still not spoken to him on the phone,” Meghan explained to Us , adding that since the split, she has kept things “calm, consistent, routine-based and light” at her home. “I have endured prolific controlling by Jim and it isn’t slowing down. “Even when I make an unassuming post on Instagram, he hurls insults at me for a battery of made-up indiscretions. “I’m sick of the abuse and I won’t engage anymore — and I don’t have to.” It’s been a confusing whirlwind for the ex-couple. In a lengthy blog entry written on October 29, Meghan detailed how she felt Jim had gotten far too close to Carly Wilson, the 22-year old nanny at the center of this scandal. But she came right out and admitted the two probably did not sleep together. Does this means she forgives Jim and all is now good between them? No. Far from it. “I believe the facade he presented is false and manipulative to the public while using and taking advantage of me,” she now tells Us Weekly. In the former Major League Baseball player’s most recent message, he said that he was “hoping for some peace, normalcy, and the ability to move forward in a healthy, happy direction for every single person involved,” noting that he loves his family “and will make it right again.” But this won’t be easy, considering Meghan was blindsided by the divorce filing and had to find out about it online. She’s been through far too much with Jim and various situations with other women to simply move on from it; not now. Maybe not ever. “Divorce had been discussed as something that could be possible but I truly thought he could change and work through his demons,” she says here, continuing: “Divorce never really crossed my mind. I had to find a divorce lawyer in a matter of hours. “He filed so quickly that it seems to me (and others) it had been ready to go and he just was waiting for an event to happen so he could pull the trigger.” The couple got married in 2014. They share 2-year-old daughter Aspen and 16-month-old twins Hayes and Hart, the latter of whom has tragically been diagnosed with brain damage. Here’s a quick rundown of what else Meghan said in this extensive Q&A: Does she have money problems? “It saddens me that the father of my children would so hostilely and haughtily say I should be worried about money, even during a time of anger. I don’t see that as putting our children first which has and always will be my first priority.” Did they sign a prenuptial agreement? “I did sign a prenup but it doesn’t pertain to child support or custody.” How did this whole affair rumor blow up? “I only ever privately alleged that Carly and my husband had an inappropriate relationship. “It was Carly, Jim, and Jim’s daughter Hayley who repeated references such ‘allegations’ in the media and blew up this story. This is the very first time I have spoken to the media in the wake of this devastating scandal. “Also, is it kind to secretly hang out with your boss’ husband at a bar until 1:30 a.m. and then delete all texts between the two of you? Is that putting my children first?” What about Jim, the kids and custody? “He hasn’t seen them since he left me — in no part due to any reluctance on my part — but hopefully, he will see them soon. “In true toddler fashion, Aspen is especially concerned with her broken iPad (he reported it stolen so it’s wiped clean and unable to be reactivated except by the person who activated it originally which is Jim) and she can’t use it anymore but I kind of like that she has to make creative fun. “The twins are unaware anything happened.” View Slideshow: Vicki Gunvalson Predicted Meghan King Edmonds Divorce 5 Years Ago!
This Just In: Farrah Abraham is a really awful person who thinks only of herself at all times. Okay, fine. Perhaps that isn’t exactly a piece of breaking news. But still: it’s worth repeating now because someone who has interacted with the former Teen Mom star has once again confirmede verything we’ve read and heard about Abraham. Appearing as a recent guest on the Domenick Nati Show, Kailyn was asked which Teen Mom cast member — present or past — rubs her the wrong way. Who does Lowry just hate the most, basically? “My least favorite cast member? I would say is Farrah,” she responded. This is not exactly stunning, of course. Last summer, Lowry scoffed at the notion of Farrah headlining an anti-bullying campaign, something Abraham had actually been tapped to do when she agreed to an exhibition boxing match. “I think there are much better influencers,” Kailyn said back then in a rather epic understatement. She later said she wanted to flat-out fight Abraham , although no match ever materialized between the pair. Asked what it is about Abraham that prompted Lowry to label her as the absolute worst, Kailyn said in this new interview: “Anytime I’ve been around Farrah she just doesn’t treat people like human beings. She treats them like they’re below her,” Lowry said, adding: “And that’s not really something… I don’t want to surround myself with people like that.” Hard to argue with that logic, isn’t it? Lowry’s pointed jabs at Farrah comes amid the news that another Teen Mom alum, Jenelle Evans, is divorcing her husband, David Eason. This is a hot topic that both Abraham and Lowry have weighed in on recently. “If she’s truly in the right mindset and is on a journey to find health and happiness, she could teach people a lot,” Lowry said on social media of Evans, expounding on her occasional rival as follows: “One could only hope that this is all true. “Despite our differences, her and her kids safety has always been a concern of mine, and now I’m not as worried hearing the latest news.” Sounds pretty fair and balanced of Kailyn, doesn’t it? Abraham, on the other hand, isn’t feeling nearly as generous when it comes to Evans and Eason. She seems to question Jenelle’s motives for the split, taking the cynical approach that Jenelle is only making this decision to further her career. “I just feel like it’s a way to just go back on TV, and I think more like myself and others, who just want better crews, better circumstances for her kids, beyond just going back to television,” Farrah told late last week. Concluded Farrah in her dissing of Jenelle: “I don’t know. Will things change when she gets a divorce just to go back on TV? “I’m just worried about her real intentions. Is it for her safety, her health, everyone’s well-being, or is it just get back on TV?” Like Kailyn just spent some time detailing, right? FARRAH IS THE WORST.
