Jessica Jaymes Dies; Legendary Adult Film Star Was 43

Posted on September 18, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

An iconic name in the world of adult entertainment has passed away at a very young age. Jessica Jaymes, the porn star best known for becoming Hustler’s first contract model to become a member of the AVN Hall of Fame, was found dead on Tuesday afternoon. She was 43 years old. TMZ broke this sad piece of news. According to law enforcement sources, a friend went to check on Jaymes yesterday in her San Fernando Valley home because he hadn’t heard from her in a long time. When the friend arrived at her residence, these insiders say the individual found Jessica unconscious. From there, fire and emergency service technicians received a call for cardiac arrest for a female. When they arrived at Jessica’s home, they pronounced the porn star dead at the scene.  The cause of death remains unknown and TMZ reports that the L.A. County Coroner’s Office is investigating It also reports that Jaymes had a history of seizures and that authorities found various prescription drugs on the scene. As for her career? Jaymes started doing soft pornorgraphy in 2002 when she was 26. She then got massive break in 2004 when Hustler signed her to  a contract, debuting for that long-running brand and company a year later with “The Porn Identity,” which is pretty much the perfect X-rated movie title. Jaymes earned Hustler magazine’s “Honey of the Year” award that same year. The  actress went on to appear in well over 200 adult films — and was an active performer more recently in her exclusive content website, as more and more users started to turn off their television sets and turn on their computers to get, well… … turned on. She also earned some mainstream credits, appearing as herself on several episodes of the Showtime series Weeds, for example. Jaymes also had nearly one million Instagram followers and her resume includes stops on The Howard Stern Show, VH1’s Celebrity Rehab Sober House and HBO’s Vivid Valley. Born Jessica Redding in Anchorage, Alaska, the late star attended New Mexico Military Institute in Roswell, New Mexico prior to attending and graduating from Rio Salado Community College. Her father reportedly worked as an undercover DEA agent, which is pretty interesting. Jaymes also spent three years as an elementary school teacher before joining this adult profession. May she rest in peace. View Slideshow: Celebrities Who Died in 2019: In Memoriam

Kylie Jenner: Did She Just Hint That She Dumped Travis Scott?

Posted on September 18, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Earlier this month, Kylie Jenner appeared on the cover of Playboy . Obviously, as a new mom and the world’s youngest “self-made” billionaire , Kylie could have discussed any number of topics in the interview that accompanied her racy pictorial. And while she touched on subjects like her booming cosmetics line and her love for her young daughter, there was one topic that dominated the discussion: Kylie’s love for Travis Scott — who also snapped some of the pics that appeared in her spread — seemed to be at the forefront of the 22-year-old’s mind. So it was that much more of a shock this week when fans noticed a subtle indication that Kylie and Travis may have called it quits on Jenner’s Instagram page. At first glance, it may seem that there’s nothing out of the ordinary about this selfie Kylie posed for in her walk-in closet. After all, Kylie posts selfies like it’s her job — which, in a sense, it is. But eagle-eyed fans were quick to notice that Kylizzle had made a minor change chat could have major implications. If you look at the dresser behind Kylie, you’ll see that it’s completely bare on top. Now, compare it to this photo that was snapped in the same spot just 6 weeks ago: That’s a framed photo of Kylie and Travis that seems to have disappeared. And that was no temporary piece of decor, either. The photo appeared in the background of a number of selfies, stretching back for several months. And the fact that it’s mysteriously disappeared has fans thinking Kylie is trying to send a subtle message to the public. Also raising eyebrows is Kylie’s caption for the pic, which reads, “Ain’t a game, boy.” One of Kylie’s best friends, Yris Palmer, further stirred the pot by commenting, “Made for one player.” Now, Kylie and Travis breakup rumors seem to surface at the rate of about one per month. The couple’s most severe rough patch occurred when Travis was allegedly caught cheating while on tour earlier this year. But it certainly wasn’t the last time that these two appeared to be on the verge of calling it quits. So is this just another case of the rumor mill running amok, or is there really trouble in paradise? It may be quite some time before we know for sure. But one thing is for certain — an obsessive fan spoke for all of us when she commented, “Kylie what the hell is happening?!?!” View Slideshow: Kylie Jenner Playboy Cover: Revealed, Very Busty!

Nicole Nafziger: FIRED from 90 Day Fiance for Abusing Azan?!

Posted on September 18, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After? stars Nicole Nafziger and Azan Tefou have weathered wild rumors about each other and their relationship. This time, it’s a little more serious, because Nicole and Azan really will not be returning to next season of Happily Ever After? And fans are now confronting her about the rumor that she was fired from the show after laying hands on Azan. Rumors exist, especially if you’re a reality star — no matter how much or little of yourself you share with the world. Sometimes, these rumors take the form of widely circulated reports that ultimately don’t pan out and are debunked. Other times, it’s a wild claim passed around in a whisper. This is one of those times. 90 Day Fiance fans were actually claiming that Nicole and Azan are through with 90 Day Fiance … because of an incident when they finally met up. The claim is that Nicole became violent with Azan, and TLC pulled the plug on their 15 minutes of fame. Multiple people brought this up in the comments under a gorgeous selfie of Nicole’s we’re sorry to say. “Is it true that you and Azan won’t be on TLC anymore because you were physically violent with him?” one impertinent fan asked. “No,” Nicole replied, with more patience than most of us would have shown. She did clarify that part of that rumor, at least, is true — they’re off the show. “We aren’t going to be on another season,” she explains. “Because we chose not to go on again right now.” Obviously, it’s wise to not always take a reality star’s reply to this sort of question at face value. A domestic abuser is rarely going to fess up to it at all, especially on Instagram. And plenty of reality stars have announced that they’ve lost interest in stardom when really they’ve just been let go from the cast. But Nicole is dramatic enough to be asked back to the show. And we definitely believe that she wasn’t fired for abusing Azan. It’s kind of hard to get violent with your fiance when there’s a whole ocean between you. She hasn’t seen him in person in a while. Fans have worried about Nicole for years, given that she keeps clinging to a long-term relationship that appears from the outside to be in limbo. A lot of people think that it’s just thirst that keeps her waiting even as he drags his feet. (Case in point, look at the photo of Azan above; plenty of Americans would let him string them along for the chance at intimate video chats) Others think that she’s “desperate” for a man and willing to cling to the “illusion” of Azan rather than look for a husband closer to home. These rumors range from concerned to deeply unkind, but fan opinions have never swayed her. Nicole has explained that she’s not bothered by what outside perspectives assume about her relationship. Despite every setback, she remains committed to her relationship with Azan and to their eventual marriage and lives in the US. Honestly? No matter how the romance began, it seems clear that Nicole and Azan love each other. The question, however, is whether — after canceled vacations and unexplained trip delays — love is enough anymore. Should either of them be putting their lives on hold if it means pining across an ocean instead of being together? But Nicole is no more bothered by doubts than she is by wild claims about her “firing” from the show. Real talk? She’s been posting for months about how she feels kind of “over it” when it comes to reality television. She recently shared an update of her back to work at Starbucks — which means that she sounds serious about living her normal life. We just hope that she provides lots of updates about her life, her engagement, and especially cute little May! View Slideshow: Nicole Nafziger Quashes Azan Breakup Rumors: 4 Years and Going Strong!

Amy Duggar: Jim Bob Doesn’t Own Me! I’ll Get Naked Whenever I Want!

Posted on September 18, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

If you’re a Counting On fan, then you’re probably aware that we’re in the midst of a full-blown Duggar baby boom . Of course, the expectant mom who’s received the least attention from the more famous branch of the family is the so-called “rebel Duggar,” cousin Amy. (Yes, at this point the “rebel” label has been applied to several members of the clan, but Amy was the OG defiant one.) In case you were unaware,  Amy is pregnant with her first child , and she’s clearly overjoyed. She might not be receiving quite the same level of recognition as some of her baby bump-sporting cousins, but we’re sure that’s perfectly fine by Amy. Rumors that the 32-year-old has been cut off by the rest of the clan have been disproven (despite reports to the contrary, several Duggar daughters attended Amy’s baby shower ), and she seems to be having a lot of fun sharing pregnancy updates with her devoted fan base. Earlier this week Amy posed for the final photoshoot of her pregnancy  (she’s due in October), and as you can see from the pic above, she got a little creative with the imagery. “Each week the belly gets bigger, the wait gets shorter but the love grows so much stronger for you baby boy!” Amy captioned the photo. “#milkbathphotography What a fun / relaxing photo shoot My skin was soo soft too… extra bonus!” she added. Milk bath photos are fairly common among expectant moms, and you don’t need a degree in semiotics to understand the symbolism. In most cases, the subject of the photo is nude, but Amy chose to remain fully-clothed, which is obviously her prerogative. But as with pretty much everything involving the Duggars, someone just had to complain in the comments section: “Oh God… This isn’t a real milk bath pic… You have to be naked but of course the Duggars would disown you if you did that,” one follower wrote. Never one to shy away from a conflict, Amy was quick to clap back: “I can do whatever I want, I am my own person. My last name is King last time I checked,” she wrote. “I didn’t want to be naked. I love the classiness of this shot instead! I love how @samanthat.photography styled it!” It seems to us that Amy made her stance pretty clear: She chose not to pose nude, but that’s not because of Jim Bob’s influence, or because she shares the ultra-conservative views on sex She wore clothes for the pic simply because she felt like wearing clothes for the pic. But as OK! magazine points out, one fan felt the need to further defend Amy by expanding on her comments: “Just because Amy dresses a little different than her cousin’s doesn’t mean she wants to be naked for the Internet to see. My goodness,” the commenter wrote . “Also she is a grown woman who makes her own decisions.” The Duggar defender continued from there, writing: “Everyone has there own beliefs in modesty. Even the Duggar girls dress how they want. Some wear pants and some wear dresses and skirts. “They are all adults and should live as adults. They all have love for the Lord and that’s all that matter.” We don’t know if the girls and women of the Duggar clan have quite as much freedom as this person claims, but the important thing is that Amy does — and she’s taking full advantage of it.

Ashley Martson: Oh God, Is She REALLY Back With Jay Smith?

Posted on September 18, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

As soon as the news broke that Jay Smith and Kayle O’Brien broke up , fans wondered if he might try to get back with Ashley. He had a much better life with her than she had with him. And the rumors sounded plausible after they showed up at the same event. Now, Ashley is telling 90 Day Fiance fans exactly what’s really going on, and why she and Jay were “together.” Over the weekend — around the same time as Jay’s split with his mistress-turned-girlfriend Kayla — Jay and Ashley appeared at the same venue. That’s odd for exes, especially bitter ones. In fact, it may have been a violation of Ashley’s protective order that is supposed to keep Jay at bay. “Was it weird being at the same event with Jay?” one of her devoted followers asked on Instagram. “It’s expected we both filmed the same show,” Ashley replied, expressing a cavalier attitude. Ashley continued: “I just do my thing and handle my business.” “Why are you and Jay acting like you didn’t hang out last night?” another, more confrontational and accusatory, follower asked. “Where did you see me to know how I’m ‘acting’ about last nights appearance,” Ashley clapped back. “I have not responded about what I did or didn’t do at the event,” she clarified. Ashley continued: “Please don’t state I’m acting some type of way.” “…stop creating stories in your head!” she concluded. That’s very good advice (unless you’re a writer). The venue in question, by the way, was an OK Magazine party. Honestly, the magazine should have known better than to invite both exes. Fine normally, not fine when there’s a domestic violence prevention order. Another guest was Bachelor in Paradise ‘s Christian Estrada, who is notably rumored to be dating Ashley. The most exciting guest of the night was probably Tyler Cameron — who did not have Gigi Hadid with him. (We don’t think that this means that their relationship is in trouble so much as that Gigi has no need to attend an OK Magazine party) We’re sure that it was a large enough crowd that Ashley and Jay could avoid rubbing elbows. Early this summer, Ashley went on a much-needed family vacation. After months of stress, it was the perfect getaway. Unfortunately, during her absence, Jay allegedly broke into her home — months after separation — and took things. Given what Ashley says is a documented history of abuse during their relationship, police advised her to get a PFA. On July 1, Ashley obtained that Protection From Abuse order from the court and Jay was barred from approaching her or discussing the order. Unfortunately, just one day later, he broke the PFA, publicly discussing the order. Police saw it on Instagram. Jay was at least wise enough to voluntarily surrender instead of forcing police to arrest him. Because he is not a legal resident, Jay was placed in ICE custody. He spent the majority of July behind bars and was miserable. (As abhorrent as ICE’s recent crimes against humanity may be, it’s not easy to sympathize with a dude who deliberately broke a restraining order) However, his boss at the tattoo shop wrote up a check and paid his bail once the court actually set bail for him. Jay was free. Honestly, after all of that, you would think that Jay would be more careful about the PFA order. Ashley probably could have made Jay’s life miserable this weekend, but clearly opted to do otherwise. Jay’s recent ex, Kayla, seems to think that Ashley is capricious and wants to lure Jay close to her so that she can call the police. Of course, she has that impression of Ashley because her knowledge of Jay’s ex-wife all comes through Jay. Consider the source, folks.

Amber Portwood Savagely Attacks Andrew Glennon In New Recording: I’ll Kill You, You Fat F–king Ret–d!

Posted on September 18, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Every day, we find ourselves thinking that it's not possible to be any more disgusted by Amber Portwood's behavior. And every day, she proves us wrong. If you're a Teen Mom fan, we're sure you know at least part of the story by now: Back in July, Amber was arrested for domestic violence after allegedly assaulting boyfriend Andrew Glennon in the couple's home. Portwood professed her innocence, but in the past week, a series of increasingly shocking audio recordings obtained by the Without a Crystal Ball  vlog have provided evidence of her appalling behavior. Today brings the most shocking recording yet, and it leaves Amber's MTV bosses with little choice but to cut her loose. Before you go any further, please be warned that the following content is profoundly disturbing: 1. The Monster Over the course of the past week, numerous audio recordings have demonstrated the extent of Amber’s abusive behavior toward Andrew Glennon. 2. Relentless When she was arrested back in July, Amber was accused of striking Andrew while he was holding their 1-year-old daughter, attacking Glennon with a machete, and attempting to break down a door when he locked himself in a bedroom for protection. 3. The Denial Fans weren’t surprised when Amber professed her innocence, as she’s been accused of abusive behavior countless times over the years, and she always claims that she’s been set up. 4. The Enablers What is surprising, however, is that Amber was defended by a number of prominent supporters, most notably her Teen Mom OG co-stars. 5. On Her Own But as a series of audio recordings definitively proved that Amber was in the habit of physically and verbally abusing Andrew on a regular basis, that support gradually fell away. 6. Just Appalling Today marks the release of the most appalling recording yet — and we’re guessing even the few stalwarts who are still standing by Amber’s side will find it difficult to defend her after listening to this one.

Maci Bookout Speaks Out on Amber Portwood Abuse: I Support Her!

Posted on September 18, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

If you've been keeping up with Teen Mom news, then you definitely know that Amber Portwood isn't having a great time right now. And that's because she is not a good person. She was arrested for domestic assault against then-boyfriend Andrew Glennon back in July, and since then, things have kept getting worse and worse. Now, just when it looks like Amber can't sink any lower, friend and co-star Maci Bookout has made a statement in support of her. But why though? 1. Facts Amber is an abuser. We’ve known that for a long, long time. 2. Poor Gary Several years ago, we saw her assault Gary Shirley on Teen Mom — once she punched him in the face, another time she kicked his back when he was walking down some stairs. 3. Poor Matt We never saw her hit Matt Baier, but there were plenty of rumors about it, and Matt has recently come forward to claim that she was violent with him, too. 4. Poor Andrew And although we’ve never seen her abuse Andrew, he may have the most harrowing story of all. 5. The Arrest Amber was arrested on the morning of July 5th after beating Andrew while he was holding their one-year-old son, James, and allegedly chasing him with a machete, again while he was holding James. 6. The Charges She was charged with three felonies — two counts of domestic violence, and one count of criminal recklessness with a deadly weapon. A pretty big deal considering she’s already been convicted of two felonies and Indiana is one of those three-strikes states. View Slideshow

Nick Carter: Aaron Carter Threatened to Murder My Pregnant Wife!

Posted on September 18, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Things have been bad between Aaron Carter and Nick Carter for years, but this is the worst that it’s ever been. After Nick served Aaron with a restraining order, he claimed that Aaron had threatened the life of his pregnant wife. Aaron tells a different story — that Nick is trying to gaslight and discredit him because he sided with Nick’s #MeToo accusers. Aaron Carter, who is known for being very active on social media, took to Twitter on Tuesday with a startling revelation. “So my brother just got a a restraining order against me,” Aaron writes. His brother is Nick Carter, of the Backstreet Boys . “And,” Aaron reveals. “I was just served lol.” “Take care.@nickcarter. we’re done for life,” he assures his older brother. “I haven’t seen him in four years,” Aaron tells his fans and followers. “And I don’t intend.” After Aaron exposed what he had done, Nick took to Instagram to use the infamous Notes App to try to explain. “After careful consideration, my sister Angel and I regret that we were required to seek a restraining order against our brother Aaron today.” “In light of Aaron’s increasingly alarming behavior,” his message continues. “And,” Nick writes. “His recent confession that he harbors thoughts and intentions of killing my pregnant wife and unborn child.” That accusation sounds terrifying. Nick explains: “we were left with no choice but to take away every measure possible to protect ourselves and our family.” “We love our brother,” he emphasizes. “And truly hope he gets the proper treatment he needs.” Nick concludes by saying that he hopes that this takes place “before any harm comes to himself or anyone else.” Aaron is enjoined from approaching his siblings, his sister-in-law, or specifically their home in Vegas. Given that Aaron was posting just weeks ago about his firearms collection, a lot of Nick’s fans share his worries. But Aaron tells a very different story. “I am astounded at the accusations being made against me,” Aaron’s tweet begins. He continues: “And I do not wish harm to anyone, especially my family.” “I never threatened anyone,” Aaron declares. “I’m appalled by this and don’t ever wish to speak to them again.” “They’re trying to 5150 me,” he accuses. “My brother called me a month ago and told me to ‘stay off of Instagram live.'” A 5150 is an involuntary psychological hold, used for people who appear to be a threat to themselves or others. “All I ask is for my family to leave me alone,” Aaron expresses. “This is blood. Not love.” “I will never be around you and I don’t want to be around you,” he assures his big brother. Aaron exclaims: “I am the one who said I’m done then you send me this!? Ok.” “Stop trying to get me 5150’d before I file a harassment suit myself nick,” he warns. “I have the $.” Now, police have visited Aaron recently at his home. Reports have said that there were concerns about his large collection of guns, given his history of friends calling in welfare checks on him. There were even reports that some in law enforcement were concerned enough to want to 5150 him. Aaron may hold Nick responsible. When one of Aaron’s fans urged him to keep this family feud private, and to not wage it on Twitter, Aaron did not agree. “They were private,” he notes. “Until my bro filed a restraining order just because I live streamed with one of his accusers” TMZ reports that there will be a hearing for a permanent restraining order on October 16. Aaron makes repeated reference to Nick Carter being accused of rape by a number of women.  Now, we know from Aaron’s appearance on The Doctors that it appears that he is on a lot of meds for a lot of different conditions. Just months ago, the world heard Aaron threaten a Michael Jackson accuser in a very public manner. And quite frankly, the sheer volume of tweets that Aaron put out between Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning is absolutely bonkers. But that doesn’t necessarily mean that Aaron made the violent threats that Nick accuses him of leveling. Unfortunately, people with mental illness are often and easily blamed and framed, when they become inconvenient or when someone needs a scapegoat. We hate to even think about how many mentally ill witnesses to crimes were outright ignored because of other erratic behavior. Regardless, between Nick’s #MeToo accusers and Aaron’s history of troubled behavior and worrisome statements, it’s hard to side with either brother. Sometimes, in a family feud, everybody involved sucks. View Slideshow: 27 Celebrities Who Suffer From Mental Illness

Demi Burnett and Kristian Haggerty: We’re Engaged!

Posted on September 18, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

History was made on Bachelor in Paradise on Tuesday night. Once again, we should say. Several weeks after Demi Burnett told the world that she was a bisexual who was also romantically involed with a woman named Kristian Haggerty … who then became the first-ever non-contestant to be featured on multiple Bachelor in Paradise episodes… … these two women went ahead and got engaged on the Season 6 finale! Viewers got to witness Burnett getting down on one knee (below) and popping life’s biggest question to her soulmate, presenting her in the moment with a Neil Lane diamond ring after telling her girlfriend: I found myself in you. “I know that this has been really hard. I’ve put you through struggles and you were always there for me regardless of how much I didn’t deserve it at the time,” said Burnett while proposing during the pre-taped portion of Tuesday’s season finale, adding: “I never knew that someone could be that patient. “There were a lot of things that came between us, mostly myself and my own struggles. Like you said, I came here to find myself. But I found myself in you.” Shouldn’t Demi also get a ring,t hough? “We’re working on it,” she said after Kristian brought this point up. Fast forward to the reunion special… Kristian proposed right back, giving Demi her very own ring! Demi, who competed for Colton Underwood’s heart on season 23 of The Bachelor , initially pursued a relationship with Derek Peth when she first hit the beach in Mexico. During the August 13 episode, though, she confessed that she still had feelings for Kristian, who she was seeing before she joined the cast of the ABC dating spinoff. They are now the first same-sex couple to get engaged on thie franchise. “I know it’s a big deal that it was the first same-sex [engagement] on this franchise in the U.S., but we weren’t thinking of the significance of that at the time,” said Burnett when speaking to The Hollywood Reporter after the reunion taping. “It was just about us loving each other and that’s really what the focus was.” Burnett and Haggerty weren’t the only Season 6 stars to get engaged on the finale. Chris Bukowski and Katie Morton, along with Hannah Godwin and Dylan Barbour, also agreed to marry at some point. Burnett, meanwhile, is now living in Los Angeles near Haggerty and is open to the idea of filming their forthcoming nuptials for television. “I don’t want to carry the torch and say how [the franchise] should handle all of this representation and what not,” Burnett told THR about the impact her story can have on the franchise, concluding: “I think that with time it’s just going to be normalized and just going to be people loving each other, whatever way that comes.” Congrats to Demi and Kristian!

Mike Sorrentino Post-Prison: I Just Want to Eat and Get Rich Again!

Posted on September 18, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

When Mike Sorrentino pled guilty to tax evasion back in January of 2018, the news led many to express disbelief at the reality star’s financial situation. After all, one can’t hide millions in assets without first amassing millions, and for those who had remained ignorant of the Jersey Shore phenomenon, the revelation that a guy named “The Situation” was earning 7 figures annually came as quite a shock. Yes, there’s no denying that when Shore was at its peak, The Sitch was rich — very rich. In fact, in addition to his abhorrent behavior, Mike was known for two things in those days — his lavish taste, and his six-pack abs. In the years that followed his arrest, Mike fell on hard times, got sober, and committed himself to becoming a better man. Last week, Sorrentino was released after serving eight months in prison. Now, it’s important to note that Mike — who married Lauren Pesce  in November — has made it clear that he has no intention of returning to his hard-partying ways. But we’re sure he wouldn’t mind regaining the staggering wealth and flawless physique he enjoyed in his Bad Mike days. As evidenced by his first post-prison photo, in one respect, Mike has already made some major progress. The Sitch and family celebrated his return with a massive feast (of course), and the image of Mike’s newly-pumped-up guns left some fans reeling: “He’s back … Look at those arms,” commented one fan. Another echoed, “Let’s goooo, Mike. Beast.” “God damn! No more dad bod!” a third fan remarked. As for the financial situation — well that might take a little bit longer to get that back on track. Mike’s net worth these days is estimated at roughly $300,000. Not too shabby, but a far cry from Pauly D’s, who — as the wealthiest Shore cast member — is thought to be worth roughly $20 million. Mike’s situation is no doubt helped considerably by the fact that Jersey Shore: Family Vacation has proven to be a modest ratings hit, and will likely return for at least two more seasons. Still, The Sitch has quite a hole to dig himself out of. In addition to his prison time, Mike was forced to pay out $123,000 in restitutions, as well as a $10,000 fine. Fortunately, Shore isn’t his only revenue stream these days. TMZ reports that Mike has been presented with a lot of opportunities since his release. His clothing company is enjoying record sales, and he’s so in demand for public appearances, that he and Lauren have delayed their scheduled honeymoon. “We are elated to finally close this chapter of our life. Thank you to our family, friends and fans for the continuous love and support during this time,” a rep for the couple said in a statement issued after Mike’s release. “It brought us so much peace and comfort. “We look forward to continuing our life as husband and wife and working on baby situations! We truly believe that the comeback is ALWAYS greater than the setback, and we can’t wait to show the world ours.” We wish Big Daddy and Mrs. Sitch all the best going forward.
