Truck Drives Into ICE Protestors Outside Private Prison, Protestors Say Guard Was At The Wheel [VIDEO]

Source: TNYF/WENN.com / WENN According to  The Washington Post , a group of protesters held an action outside a Rhode Island prison that works with Immigration and Customs Enforcement ( ICE ) to house immigration detainees. Many of the protestors were sitting on the pavement, blocking staff from the Wyatt Detention Facility parking lot. After shouts to close immigration  detention camps , a black pickup truck swerved towards protesters sitting on the ground. The protesters yelled at the driver who beeped their horn, then he hit the gas, endangering the lives of protestors. A viral video shows the protesters screaming and leaping out the way, while some hopped on the truck as if to weigh it down. Several people were struck by the car and some were treated at a hospital, although thankfully they didn’t face life-threatening injuries.

90 Day Fiance The Other Way Scandal: Laura Accuses Aladin of CHEATING!

Last month, fans and viewers of  90 Day Fiance: The Other Way  watched  Aladin freak out over Laura’s vibrator . Right after the episode aired, Aladin purged all of Laura’s photos. But now, Laura says that Aladin deleted her pics for a very different reason — because he’s a no good dirty cheater. Back in late July, it looked like  Aladin had dumped Laura  after the vibrator episode aired across the world. Laura is an older American woman who was still adjusting to life in Qatar. Aladin is a young hottie. They seemed happy in their marriage, referring to sex as “jiggy-jiggy.” But while Laura, like most Americans, considered a vibrator a normal sex toy for individuals or couples, Aladin saw it as an attack on his masculinity. For the record, a wife wanting to actually orgasm during sex is not actually unreasonable. But after his reaction on the episode, fans saw Aladin purge Laura’s photos on Instagram and could only reach one conclusion: Aladin must have been upset at the episode showing his “humiliation” and broken up with Laura. It’s not a real surprise — some people have huge egos. There were also cultural differences in play. From his perspective, she had called him sexually inadequate in front of the entire world. But now, Laura says that it’s not true — and offers a very different explanation for why he erased her face from his ‘gram. “Why did Aladin delete the photos of you on his Insta?” a follower asked Laura. Laura replied: “Watch the show and you will see.” She also added a thumbs-up emoji. In another instance, she advised a commenter: “You don’t  know  were are not together.” However, somewhere along the line, Laura appears to have lost her cool. “When he stopped respecting me by  cheating with other women , that’s how,” Laura wrote. Now, as  90 Day Fiance: The Other Way  made very clear, polygamy is legal in Qatar. That was shared with Laura by surprise, more or less to get a reaction out of her for the cameras. But to be clear, that is not at all the same thing as cheating. Laura would have to know about and consent to Aladin having other girlfriends in order for it to be acceptable. If she did not then, well, Aladin cheated. Assuming that Laura’s accusation can be believed. From the beginning, the age gap between Laura and Aladin has raised some eyebrows. Fans and viewers wanted to know, well, when the other shoe would drop. Was Aladin hoping to get a spousal visa as a stepping stone to a green card? Some people have a lot of trouble accepting that not everyone flirts or falls in love based upon appearances. But even for the true romantics out there, something seemed a little off about this romance. Is Aladin’s true motive related to him cheating, or was the alleged cheating just something that he did because he’s young and hot? So many 90 Day Fiance fans are feeling cynical about “hot young guys” after what Jay Smith did to Ashley Martson. View Slideshow: Ashley Martson: I’m Telling ALL of Jay Smith’s Dirty Secrets!

Todd Chrisley Accuses Daughter of Sleeping with Married Bachelor Stars

Todd Chrisley may be innocent of forging bank documents, hiding millions of dollars from the government and not paying his federal taxes for multiple years. We’ll let the authorities determine the authenticity of these allegations after the reality star and his wife were indicted this week on 12 counts of financial fraud. But one thing is certain: Todd Chrisley is a world class sleazeball. The USA Network personality pleaded not guilty to all the aforementioned charges brought against him in court yesterday, having alleged previously that a disgruntled former employee actually forged these documents and set both Todd and his wife up. Really, this is the guy’s defense. “We have nothing to hide and have done nothing to be ashamed of,” Todd wrote on Instagram this past Monday, blaming the entire ordeal on “a trusted employee of ours [who] had been stealing from us big time. But we’re actually not here to discuss Todd’s story or whether he really did commit these crimes. Not right now at least. Instead, for the sake of this article, we’re focusing instead on the relationship between Todd and his daughter, Lindsie. The latter is very much estranged from her parents, having quit Chrisley Knows Best in 2017 and having moved on to host a podcast with Teen Mom star Kailyn Lowry. Due to her fractured non-connection to dad, some have actually theorized that Lindsie played some role in her parents’ indictment. Did she turn over any evidence to the police or alert them to her father’s activities in any way? No, Lindsie’s lawyer said in a statement yesterday. “The circumstances Todd and Julie find themselves in, is quite unfortunate. It was reported that Lindsie was the source of the information that led to her father’s arrest,” this statement reads. And it continues: “That is untrue, she was not the source of this information. “Lindsie has been a constant target of lies, harassment and threats from her family and as a result, has been distancing herself from the Chrisley family since 2017.” Whoa there, right? WHAT?!? It turns out that Todd’s estranged daughter filed a police report in June that alleged her brother, Chase, has purchased a sex tape that featured his sister. And that Chase and Todd were threatening to release it unless she agreed to lie about some sort of “incident.” It’s widely assumed that this “incident” is a reference to Todd and Julie’s alleged tax evasion. We report:  Whoa there, right? WHAT?!? Perhaps even more incredibly, Todd has responded to this allegation — by hurling Lindsie so far under the bus that we may never see her ever again. We’re gonna bold the entire statement Todd released to E! News because each and every word is simply that stunning. Here it is: It’s heartbreaking and shameful that these kinds of accusations have to be aired in public. We have tried to keep Lindsie’s extramarital relationships with [Bachelor Nation stars] Robby Hayes and Josh Murray private for her sake since August of 2016. Sadly, for reasons we can only guess at, she ran to the sheriff’s office to accuse her brother of buying a sex tape of her and Robby, which was a complete lie, and now she’s telling more lies about me. Todd added: “Although our hearts are broken, Lindsie is our daughter and we will always love her.” Yes, they willl love her so much that they will expose her alleged affairs with other reality stars, while also claiming to millions of people that Lindsie made a sex tape with one of these men. Just… wow. Lindsie Chrisley has not yet remarked on her father spreading these rumors in such a fashion, but Murray responded to E! with a pretty fantastic clapback: “Lindsie and I have been friends for years,” he said, adding: “I know Todd and his family are going through some tough times right now and I pray everything works out in their favor. “They should probably focus on how not to be imprisoned for 30 years rather than spreading gossip to try and hurt their daughter. “I truly believe they are good people and I wish them the best in however they choose to go about their actions.” We disagree on that one point there, Josh: Todd Chrisley is not a good person.

Gina Kirschenheiter: Granted a Divorce From Matt! Will Soon Be Single!

Earlier this summer, a deeply disturbing report came out about Gina Kirschenheiter’s husband allegedly attacking her and threatening her life. Since then, they have been to court. A judge has extended Gina’s restraining order and agreed to the end of their marriage, but they’ll still technically be married for months . For a woman who spent so much time last year boasting to Shannon Beador about her easy divorce, Gina’s split has taken a nasty turn. In June, she alleged that Matt had shown up at her house late at night and then broken in and attacked her. She accuses her ex of having pushed her down, of having struck her. Gina at one point fled the house to seek help from a neighbor, but says that Matt dragged her back to the house. Someone dialed 911 and police arrived, but not before Matt had allegedly threatened Gina’s life repeatedly. Absolutely bone-chilling stuff. Now, RadarOnline reports that a judge has granted Gina and Matt’s “dissolution of marriage.” It seems that, despite the June nightmare, the two were able to come together to address some major aspects of their divorce. However, there is a lot of paperwork remaining, pertaining to “matters of joint property and other issues.” For that reason, Gina and Matt will remain “married,” technically speaking, until December 31, 2019. The court hopes that they will be able to complete that paperwork before then. On January 1, Gina will be single and presumably ready to mingle. It seems clear that both Gina and Matt were ready and eager for the marriage to end. The issues that they resolved included division of properties, spousal support, child support, and other financial matters. Things at the Wednesday, August 14 hearing became heated as Matt was asked some very direct questions. Matt agreed that the reasons for their divorce were “irreconcilable differences.” He also conceded that he would not get back with Gina if suddenly presented with the opportunity to do so. The most important part of many divorces is determining custody of any children. It seems that Gina and Matt were able to reach an accord on that topic. But knowing that they agreed in court is not the same thing as knowing the details of their custody arrangement. Speaking of Gina’s children, don’t expect to see her changing her name any time soon. As she explained to the judge, she wants to keep the same last name as her children. A lot of divorced moms make that same difficult choice. Then comes the matter of Gina’s physical safety. Fortunately, it seems to be something that the court is taking seriously. Gina already had a temporary restraining order in place. The court has extended that protective order through next year, to January 15 of 2020. That is the date on which both parties will return to court, fully divorced, to discuss the domestic violence charges against Matt. Eyewitnesses say that Gina and Matt refused to look at each other while in court. However, as she left the court, Gina is said to have looked emotionally devastated. In contrast, Matt apparently looked relieved. We can only speculate as to what they were thinking and feeling at that time, of course. Perhaps, when we know which property was assigned to whom, we’ll be better able to explain why Gina was so unhappy. View Slideshow: The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 14: Everything We Know

15 Deaths That Murdered Good TV Shows

Killing off TV characters is risky business.  You run the risk of ruining a good show, and pissing off a lot of fans in the process.  We've rounded up 15 deaths that completely were essentially the death knell for their respective shows.  Do you agree with these takes? 1. Smurf – Animal Kingdom This one is very recent, but what the heck? Ellen Barkin’s Smurf was one of the only reasons to tune into Animal Kingdom. She was quick-witted, badass, and crazy. Those are great traits for a TV character! 2. Rhaegal – Game of Thrones Game of Thrones spent years saying just how strong the dragons were, so to have Euron wipe Rhaegal out with ease left many fans wondering what the heck the creators were thinking of when they thought it would be a good twist. It was the first major disappointment in what was ultimately a terrible final season for the HBO epic. 3. Tara – True Blood True Blood turned to crap long before the pitiful series finale, and that was thanks in large part to the death of Tara aka one of the best characters. Tara’s relationship with Pam was going to strength to strength when she was killed off in a pretty nonsensical way. 4. Laurel – Arrow Just when it seemed like the writers were finally starting to realize that Katie Cassidy’s character had a huge fanbase, they killed her off. It was pretty bizarre, and the backlash resulted in them bringing back another iteration of the character that ultimately became known as Laurel. 5. Mike -Desperate Housewives Desperate Housewives managed to remain fresh for most of its eight-season run, but the show will always be remembered for jumping the shark ahead of its finale when it opted to kill off Mike Delfino. 6. Cristal – Dynasty When Dynasty Season 1 ended with Cristal in a burning barn with a gunshot to the abdomen, fans thought the character would make a miraculous recovery for Season 2. However, Nathalie Kelley was written out of the series, and another actress stepped in as a new Cristal. Yikes. View Slideshow

Jenelle Evans & David Eason: We’re BACK and Our Family Is Better Than Ever!

It's been one month since Jenelle Evans and David Eason regained custody of their kids. Of course, it's also been several weeks since Jenelle has had any kind of steady employment, so most of that time has been spent launching business ventures and posting sponsored content so that the Swamp Spouses won't be forced to get real jobs. But if you were worried that David and Jenelle are neglecting their kids again, fear not. At the very least, they're taking the time to snap pics of them and sell the content to tabloids, which is totally the same as parenting, right? Yes, Evans took to Instagram today to inform fans that she and David are “BACK!” (Someone should tell her that she never went anywhere; it was her kids who were relocated.) She then encouraged her followers to click the link in her bio , but we have the latest on Jenelle's summer, in case you want to keep up on the latest without helping her get paid for doing nothing. We're just trying to do our part: 1. They’re Baaaack! Jenelle Evans and David Eason want fans to know they’re on the rebound. They’re still unemployed and widely despised, but we guess that’s their idea of a rebound. 2. A Growing Family Jenelle and David don’t even have custody of all their kids (They each have a son that lives with his grandmother.), but hey — it looks like they’re gonna end the summer with three more kids than they started with! 3. Speaking Too Soon? Actually, there’s a couple weeks before Labor Day, so we suppose they could still mess this thing up, but for now, it looks as though the Easons will start fall as a semi-complete family 4. Summertime and the Living’s Swampy For the last four weeks, at least, Jenelle has had most of her kids at home, and she wants to be praised for it, dammit! 5. Whatever You Say She also wants you to know that they immediately put the trauma of being forcibly relocated behind them and had a totally awesome summer. 6. Wheeling and Dealing Anyway, that’s the fairy tale the Easons sold to Us Weekly in exchange for a link to the puff piece about Jenelle that appeared on their site today. View Slideshow

90 Day Fiance Scandal: Did Azan Tefou Get His Secret Wife Pregnant?

90 Day Fiance fans have been going over Azan Tefou’s every action with a fine-toothed comb, trying to figure out just what is the deal with him and Nicole Nafziger. One day, we’re convinced their relationship is finally over , the next day Nicole is posting about when the wedding will take place . Again. In the latest shocking twist on this emotional roller coaster, it seems Azan not only has a secret wife in Morocco, but he also got her pregnant! If true, this would mean Azan has an entirely different family that he’s been hiding from Nicole all this time. Could he really have been stringing her along all this time? Fans everywhere know the answer is “Absolutely!” 90 Day has been following this couple for years, and Nicole has soldiered on through one disappointment after another. At this point it’s painfully obvious to everyone but Nicole that this man does not care about her. Fans have come up with numerous theories about why Azan is still pretending to be invested in this relationship? Is it to get his hands on a marriage visa? Or maybe just for the exposure? Some have even alleged that he just wants Nicole to keep sending money so he can keep his own family afloat. Any of those explanations seem feasible, but this new allegation blows the others out of the water. Azan is supposed to be using Nicole’s money to invest in the couple’s store.  But the newest rumors circulating around social media suggest he’s spending the money on his newly pregnant wife. If this is true, it ties in perfectly to the couple’s last big incident, which already had fans fuming, and worrying for Nicole. Viewers will remember that Azan bailed on his planned trip to Grenada with Nicole, in the most shady way possible. He broke the news literally the day before the trip was to take place, well after she had already purchased the tickets and made all the plans. Azan could barely be bothered to even come up with an excuse. He just said there was a “family emergency,” and refused to elaborate. Fans didn’t buy it. Nicole’s mother didn’t buy it.  Now it looks like there may have been some truth to Azan’s half-assed excuse. A pregnant wife would certainly qualify as a family emergency. And, it would obviously be the kind of thing he would choose not to go into detail about. Host Shaun Robinson even asked Azan about the Grenada no-show incident during the recent  90 Day Fiance   Tell-All special. Azan did not tell all. He simply doubled down on the secrecy, saying it was private, and he couldn’t talk about it.  Azan is pretty dodgy every time he’s asked about stuff like this. Even when questioned by his fiance on-air, he says the bare minimum, or just goes silent until she changes the subject. Some of their scenes are just painful to watch as a result. The increasingly shady behavior has fans pouring over old social media posts looking for evidence that will prove his infidelity. The search has turned up several individuals who say they know him and his family in Morocco. They claim Azan is definitely taking Nicole for a ride , and that his whole family is in on it. However true these allegations are, it’s clear that something is amiss with Azan. Even if he’s not cheating, he needs to be honest with Nicole about whaveter is really going on. For her part, Nicole is marching bravely (or blindly) onward in the hopes that the couple can make this work. Despite all the setbacks and warnings from friends, family, and even co-stars, she still believes she and Azan will get their happily ever after. We’re pretty sure this guy is a con-artist. But Nicole is a total sweetheart, and for her sake, we hope we’re wrong! View Slideshow: Nicole Nafziger: DUMPED by Azan When She Ran Out of Cash?

Jinger Duggar: Endangering Her Daughter With Bizarre Food Choices?!

If you follow them on social media, then you’re probably aware that the Duggars get mom-shamed on a daily basis. Jinger Duggar is fairly new to this experience, not only because she waited longer than her sisters to have children, but also because she’s more well-liked than they are. But no one is spared the wrath of the internet’s nastiest trolls, and these days it seems the commenters on Jinger’s page are teeing off on her doubly hard to make up for lost time. Jinger, of course, leads a very different lifestyle than Jill, Jessa, or any of the other Duggar moms of her generation. For one thing, she lives in Los Angeles, instead of Arkansas, a culture shock that likely would’ve killed a lesser Duggar. On top of that, Jinger and her husband seem to occasionally enjoy activities outside the home, even though we’re pretty sure there’s something about the sinfulness of women enjoying themselves in Jim Bob’s version of the Bible. Earlier this week, the Vuolos attended a soccer game in which Jeremy’s former team, the New York Red Bulls, took on the local Los Angeles Football Club. That turned out to be a bit of a scandalous affair, as some fans now believe Jinger plans to let her daughter play sports , which is strictly verboten in the Duggar’s world. But it doesn’t hold a candle to the Duggars’ latest outing, in which they dined on ribs at a place with the awesome name of Ribs Against the Machine. And what did fans take issue with this time? Surprisingly, it doesn’t look like anyone had a problem with the family patronizing a business that’s named for an ultra-liberal rap-rock outfit. But several people were outraged by the fact that Jinger and Jeremy allowed their daughter to feast on delicious barbecued meats. There were several reasons for this, with some worrying that Jinger would choke on a bone. (As though Jinger and Jeremy aren’t smart enough to pull the meat off with their fingers and feed it to her.) Others took issue with … the way rib meat is raised? Is this a thing? “Please think about that animal that was badly beaten in the face then shot, so you could post a picture of your daughter on Instagram eating ribs,” one user wrote. “These religions guide humans to respect all life, not to destroy living beings around us,” added another. Fortunately, this was one of those times when Jinger had more supporters than detractors: “How do you know for certain where and how this restaurant even gets their meat products,” one user responded. “Ribs are amazing! Looks like she enjoyed!” echoed another. You know what, folks, the Duggars may have a lot of controversial religious and political beliefs. But we don’t want to live in a world where everyone can’t agree that ribs are delicious! View Slideshow: Jinger Duggar Shares Adorable Pics of Her “Little Family,” Melts Fans’ Hearts

Dove Cameron Claps Back at Trolls Over Braless Selfie: This IS Being a Role Model!

Listen, Dove Cameron may be Disney Channel’s sweetheart, but she is letting it be known that she is not a little girl!  She is a 23-year-old woman and she is a damn good role model.  Haters, we’re talking to you!  The Descendant’s actress recently posted a photo of herself in a white tank top — with no bra — showing off her nipples. And yep, people were not here for it. Come on, does 2019 mean anything to you people?!  “Women HAVE a history that has been systematically suppressed,” she captioned her empowering image. “Our collective spirituality has largely been trained to fit the needs of men and those in power.” “This has a profound effect on the self-esteem of girls and the women they become,” she continued. Adding, “It also has an effect on the way their future partners will view them — and ultimately treat them.” Cameron, who is an extremely popular role model in today’s world, finished up her hella inspiring post by saying “Our girls deserve better.”  “The time to introduce feminism and woman-centered spirituality to ALL children is now.” Most felt empowered by her post, but of course, some people just had to go off. *sighs* “Feeling empowered w/ no bra on rn bc of this,” one follower wrote. “Take ur f–king bra off if you want,” the actress replied. “Don’t hide your natural body. People are weird. Just because it’s ‘the norm’ now to be ashamed of nipples or your period doesn’t mean they are actually bad or embarrassing???” Unfortunately, not everyone felt that way.  “How is wearing a shirt showing your nipples being a role model?” one commenter wrote.  “I am a parent, my daughter and I have been huge fans of yours, but I don’t see this as inspirational to my daughter’s growth at all.” “Wear a bra,” wrote another follower. “You should not even be on Disney because you’re not wearing a bra. Disney is for dreams and inspiration. This is not. Your job is to bring joy.” The celeb didn’t stutter, ok?! Dove defended herself straight and to the point.  “This is being a role model,” she said. “This is exactly being a role model.”  We couldn’t agree more.  She also reposted comments from her supporters to her Instagram Story, showing that it’s healthy to share the love and to show off our bodies without shame, if you wish to do so.  Dove’s BF Thomas Doherty also seemed to approve of the photo (of course, he did) as he commented: “thank you god. Amen.” It’s not like this is the first time we have ever seen an A-lister make the decision to #freethenipple and go braless. In fact, it’s becoming a very popular and trendy fashion choice.  And quite the movement  — thanks to Dove and other celebs including Selena Gomez, Kendall Jenner, and Jennifer Lawrence — just to name literally a few.  View Slideshow: Kendall Jenner Wears Basically Nothing to Oscars After-Party
