Paola Mayfield Shares Sweet Baby Bump Pic, Emotional Message to Fans

Paola Mayfield has made it official: Two body parts of hers are growing these days. As previously announced, the 90 Day Fiance star is expecting her first child with husband Russ, as the reality stars themselves confirmed this blessed news just over a week ago on Instagram. Naturally, as a result, Mayfield’s belly is getting bigger by the month. But the TLC personality has also now made it clear via social media that something aside from her stomach has increased in size of late: Her heart. Indeed, Paola just shared a new, precious picture (above) of Russ kissing her baby bump, adding as a lengthy caption: “We are so thankful and happy for each one of your beautiful messages! We weren’t expecting so much love and so much support. Thank you all so much.” She then referenced some of the marital strife that she has been through over the past year or so. “You guys know all that Russ and I went through the past months,” Mayfield said in her caption, continuing in further detail: “I was angry and devastated after all you can never completely recover from something like that but today we have a reason to smile and to be happy, a reason to move forward and to be the best we can. “I wish I could keep up and like all your comments from my last post. I love you all so very much! “Thank you for living this amazing experience with us and for showing us so much love.” Mayfield is mostly referencing a miscarriage she suffered last year in this passage. As is the case with so many couples that go through this awful experience, Russ and Paola nearly hit a breaking point due to the tragedy. Paola made it pretty clear on air and in a few statements that she though Russ wasn’t there for her in the way she needed following the devastating news. Meanwhile, Russ thought his wife was trying to shut him out. It’s never been clear just how close the stars were to splitting, but their relationship hadn’t seemed entirely stable even before the miscarriage. The main storyline surrounding the Mayfields during their time on 90 Day Finance had been Paola’s penchant for posing nearly-naked and Russ’ unease over his wife showing the world such revealing assets. This was a legitimate issue between the husband and wife. It became so well known and questions about their relationship so pervasive that both sides of the romance semi-recently addressed their status online. “He accepts me,” Paola told fans in early July of Russ. “Loves me and respects me the way I am and lets me work even when he is not 100% comfortable.” Russ, for his part, also made it evident a short bit ago that he loves Paola and is committed to Paola and people need to stop claiming anything to the contrary. “I accept and am proud of my wife for the beautiful woman she is,” Russ has said , adding: “I am tired of the comments from the marriage ‘experts’ stating I deserve better, my wife doesn’t respect me, or she only loves me for my money and so on and so forth… “I am proud of where I come from. And where I am going and that’s with the love of my life.” And now also with a precious bundle of joy!  CONGRATS ALL AROUND!

90 Day Fiance: Nicole and Azan Cancel Their Wedding … Is It Over?

As is so often the case for 90 Day Fiance couples, things haven’t always been so good for Nicole Nafziger and Azan.Tefou. They’ve been trying to make this work for ages. Azan ghosted Nicole at the last reunion. And this week’s episode showed Azan flirting with other women. Now, one of Nicole’s family members has come forward to reveal that they’ve called off their wedding. Are Nicole and Azan over? Nicole’s father, Joe Fouraker, tells RadarOnline that Nicole had to cancel her wedding to Azan and return home to Florida. “They called it off,” Joe reports. Nicole has returned to the U.S. from Morocco as of May 21. Joe explains: “They said the timing wasn’t right.” Sometimes, that’s a euphemism for relationship troubles. In this case, its meaning is literal. Nicole had moved to Morocco to marry Azan in preparation for him coming back to the U.S. with her and obtaining citizenship. But her visa ran out. Literally, the timing was not right. Joe is not exactly hiding his feelings or mincing words about Nicole’s canceled wedding. He says that this turn of events was proof that his and his wife’s “prayers were answered.”  Joe and his wife Robbalee, you see, are not big fans of Azan. But despite the canceled wedding and the move back home, Joe reveals that the two of them are still together. “Is she going back to get married?” Joe asks, admitting: “I don’t know.” Obviously, he is rooting for them to not tie the knot. So, how are things for Nicole and Azan these days? Joe reveals: “She still talks to him.” Well, that makes since, given that they are still engaged. “I think she still intends to go back” to Morocco, Joe guesses. At the very least, he says, she would need to return for one very important belonging. Joe reveals: “The wedding dress is still there.” Nicole didn’t return to Florida by choice. “She had to come back here,” Joe explains. “She was there for almost six months,” Nicole’s father says of her stint in Morocco. That would explain why her visa ran out. “She is now living with her sister in a mobile home,” he says. “Her daughter May is with her.” On this week’s episode, 90 Day Fiance viewers were treated to a less-than-happy scene. In it, Azan appeared to be cheating on Nicole. “I want a kiss right now,” Azan could be heard saying. “The kiss was good.” Different relationships come with different boundaries, but this is usually not what people want to hear their fiance saying to other girls. “What did you dream about last night?” Azan asked. “I think you want it.” Azan explained to Nicole that his behavior was the result of alcohol, not a desire to stray. Joe doesn’t think much of all of that. “He had an explanation,” Joe says. “And said, ‘That was before I met you.” That’s even more outlandish than blaming alcohol for your own words. “She believed him,” Joe says. He laments that his daughter is a kindhearted optimist. Joe says: “She wants to believe the best in people.” But then Joe really lays into Nicole. “She isn’t mature enough to understand people will take advantage of her,” he claims. Yikes! Joe gets even meaner, saying: “She’s a foolish young lady.” Hmmm. Maybe we should take some things — at least character assessments — that Joe Fouraker says with a grain of salt. Who talks about their own daughter that way? View Slideshow: 90 Day Fiance Couples: Who’s Still Together?

Danielle Mullins: I Can PROVE That Mohamed Jbali Loved Me!

Of all of the controversial  90 Day Fiance couples, is there any pair that fans love to hate more than Danielle Mullins and Mohamed Jbali? These two are very firmly exes, now. It’s probably safe to say that they hate each other. But Danielle says that Mohamed really did love her, once upon a time. In fact, she’s showing “proof” of his love to her fans. Recently, 90 Day Fiance fans have wanted to know if Anfisa Nava is pregnant . They’ve also wanted to know if Paola Mayfield is expecting a baby with Russ. But Danielle is getting people’s attention for a very different reason. See, while Mohamed moved to Texas last year and Danielle decided to sue him for withholding sex , they weren’t always enemies. Many fans have long believed that Mohamed was just using Danielle to get a Green Card so that he could start a new life in the United States. But Danielle believes that she can prove that he loved her — and she’s showing that to her followers. Mohamed certainly appears to be affectionate in these texts. “Thank you my love.” He clearly said that he wanted to be with her. “I love you so much and I am missing you.” It sounds like he was getting impatient. “I am trying to be positive to help my self waiting.” Danielle was already a mother, but he repeatedly makes it clear that this is not a problem for him. “I want to be with a wife and kids.” He said that he was looking forward to his new reality after he moved to the United States and married Danielle. “My life will be much better with you and kids.” His texts reveal that he was looking forward to joining her family. “I can’t wait to start my life with girls.” Again, it sounds like he was really anticipating his new life. “Every day I am thinking of you and them.” Taking Mohamed’s words at face value, he was very excited to be with Danielle. “And I am imagining how will be my life you all.” That comes across a little garbled (English is not his first language, but that means that he speaks two languages — so don’t make fun of him for a few awkward texts). “Every day I am upset [because] of that.” Anticipation can be difficult. They talk about missing what would have been their wedding date. “I know that my love. I am tired of waiting.” Mohamed talks like he was feeling thoroughly over the wait. “I wanna be with my wife and her kids.” So, Danielle is definitely showing evidence that Mohamed told her that he loved her again and again. That is nott he same thing as proof that he actually loved her. No one really thinks that he treated her like a jerk while he was still in Tunis, Tunisia. The assumption has been that he sweet-talked Danielle and feigned interest in her until they could get married. Scoring a little extra cash thanks to a reality show appearance was just a bonus. According to this theory, Mohamed was always planning on leaving Danielle as soon as he felt that it was safe. It sounds like Danielle believes that he really did love her and meant what he was saying in all of these texts. Which would mean that she may really think that it was her alleged body odor that drove him away, or that he changed. No one is claiming that Mohamed or Danielle is a good person, but … their whole story is just so sad. View Slideshow: 90 Day Fiance Couples: Who’s Still Together?

Duggar Fans to TLC: Put Josh Back On TV!

You might feel that just about every time you read something about the Duggar family, it’s news of a new scandal or controversy. Especially common are stories that point out the family’s apparent hypocrisy and inability or unwillingness to live in accordance with the values they espouse publicly. It’s not hard to see why critics and former fans would revel in evidence that the Duggars aren’t quite practicing what they preach. After all, it’s hard to think of another famous family that suffered a fall from grace as swift and brutal as the one that befell the Counting On clan in the wake of the Josh Duggar sex scandals . Frankly, Josh’s crimes were horrific, and the efforts to help him evade prosecution were almost as appalling. As a result, nearly 18 months later, many still see the family’s misfortunes as grounds for celebration. Perhaps that’s unfair, as most of the family was not complicit in Josh’s crimes, but it’s certainly an understandable reaction, as many seem to hope that each Duggar scandal will be the last, and the family will finally be forced to leave the public eye. And, of course, it’s not just the Josh scandals that have earned the Duggars such a vocal contingent of critics. The family’s extremely conservative beliefs basically set them up for failure, and as a result, instances of Duggar hypocrisy are remarkably common.  And because the family purports to hold a position of moral authority, those instances are gleefully pointed out by the same people who have been condemned to hell by the Duggars’ belief system. We certainly understand it’s appeal, but sometimes, all that anti-Duggar news leaves us with the feeling that we’re living in a bubble. Surely, someone must still be pulling for these people, right? Yes, as it turns out, a quick trip through some popular Duggar fan pages reveals that there are quite a few folks out there who still support Jim Bob and company. Not only that, but judging by the comments on a recent photo of Josh and Anna’s daughter, many of these people are pushing a truly bizarre agenda: “I’m still so upset that they can’t feature Josh,” one fan commented. “How do they get to be a testimony of God’s redemptive power if they can’t show the healing?” “Put Josh back with his family please,” wrote another. “TLC won’t allow them to feature Josh but I’m surprised in the Duggar family page they don’t show the kid’s with their parents,” Yes, there are humans on the internet–the same internet you’re using right now!–who not only support the Duggars, but also want more Josh in their lives. Finding comments like the ones above is like stumbling into a bizarro world full of Trump supporters who wish the Access Hollywood tape was even longer. We suppose we can understand turning a blind eye to the Duggars’ indiscretions so that you can continue to support them relatively guilt-free. Denial is a powerful force, after all. But begging TLC to put a known child molester back on television? That’s something we’ll simply never be able to make sense of. Watch Counting On online for more from reality TV’s most controversial family. View Slideshow: Josh Duggar Sex Scandal Timeline: How His Family’s Empire Crumbled

90 Day Fiance: Molly Hopkins’ Shady History Revealed!

Not all of the obstacles on 90 Day Fiance come from bureaucratic red tape or judgmental parents or lack of financing. A lot of issues arise when people haven’t been up front about their past. There’s a lot going on with Molly and Luis, but the more that we learn about these two, the more concerns we have. Especially when it comes to Molly Hopkins and her newly exposed criminal history. We know that every couple on 90 Day Fiance is unique, but … is Molly the new Danielle Mullins? We know that it’s harder to keep up with new 90 Day Fiance couples than it is with the ones we’ve had years to get to know, so here’s a bit of a reminder about Molly and Luis. Molly is 41 and comes from Woodstock, Georgia. Originally from Atlanta. Molly was also a star of the reality series Double Divas for two seasons. Luis, who is only 26, is from Santo Domingo, in the Dominican Republic. It was in the DR that Luis and Molly met and eventually fell in love. Molly and some of her friends were on a trip, Luis was bartending. It was a classic cougar-meets-boy romance. Separated by a 15-year age gap and by nationality, they’re letting the 90 Day Fiance cameras follow them as they undergo the K-1 visa process. But the couple faces other challenges. For one thing, Molly has two daughters — not, in and of itself, a challenge. But her older daughter, Olivia, does not seem to be a fan of Luis or of the idea of him becoming her new stepdad. (A stepdad who was only 12 when she was born? That’s not always a bad thing, but we can see why she might balk at it) Molly’s father is also not convinced that Luis is right for her. He believes that Luis is just using Molly for her resources or citizenship or both. Hmmm. On Sunday’s episode, Luis finally made it to Cougartown. Wait, sorry … we mean to America. And into the embrace of Molly Hopkins. Molly had to get her daughter, Olivia, to drive her to the airport. Now, there are plenty of folks who can’t or don’t drive for a variety of reasons, but it’s only natural that fans wondered why Molly had to rely upon her daughter for this. As it turns out, there’s a very good reason: Molly Hopkins’ criminal history doesn’t really portray her as the best or safest driver. This photo is only one of the mugshots that Molly Hopkins has accumulated. Starcasm , bless them, did some digging, and came up with a list of Molly Hopkins’ arrests . In 2008, Molly Hopkins was charged with possession of marijuana. It was a misdemeanor charge, involving less than an ounce of the naughty plant that is, don’t forget, still illegal in many US states. Molly’s May 2012 DUI arrest involved accusations of speeding and improperly changing lanes. But … we’re mostly concerned about the DUI. In November of 2012, Molly had another mugshot taken, but records aren’t clear on why that happened … except that she was booked in a courtroom. She may have appeared in order to address the DUI. In June of 2016, Molly was pulled over for speeding. The officer administered a breathalyzer test and, well, she got another DUI. Molly pleaded guilty and was sentenced to “72 hours in jail, two years of probation, and 240 hours of community service.” (That sounds like Paul isn’t the only 90 Day Fiance star who is currently on shock probation) But … what happened to Molly’s license? She had two DUIs within the same 5 year span, and had to surrender her vehicle tags. Which she did. Now, all reality shows (just about) are filmed months in advance, so Molly filed for an early end to her probation in July and, in August, her wish was granted. She is still subject to random drug testing and may not have any alcohol in her house. (To our horror, we just realized that Molly and Luis may have to have a dry wedding, if they make it to the altar. So Molly’s friends and family will be punished for her mistakes) Starcasm notes that Molly had four non-DUI speeding tickets on top of all of this, which is probably more than most people get within their lives. That’s cause for concern, right? Still, this kind of shady past isn’t quite the same Danielle Mullins’ criminal background , is it? Just because she’s an older woman of means with children and Luis is a twenty-something younger man whom many suspect of looking for an easy route to American citizenship doesn’t mean that these two are the next Danielle Mullins and Mohamed Jbali. But … let’s keep our eyes open.

The rest is here:
90 Day Fiance: Molly Hopkins’ Shady History Revealed!

Danielle Mullins: Criminal History, Unstable Behavior Revealed; Body Odor Alleged

Some stars of the guilty pleasure hit  90 Day Fiance stars either get their happily ever afters. Others don’t, and then fade from memory. And then there’s Danielle Mullins, whose infamous relationship with Mohamed Jbali is still haunting them both long after the fact. Even out of the context of Mohamed Jbali, Danielle is just … quite the character. With a very shady past, as In Touch points out. How shady, though? And what, you might wonder, is she up to now? Is she in a relationship? What’s next for her?  The whole point of being a reality star is to become famous and accumulate fans (while cashing a check). When you know that your fame and fortune depend upon your fans, you want to give them shout-outs on social media and promote yourself. Danielle Mullins goes a little above and beyond what you’d normally expect. Sure, she promotes herself well on social media, but did you know that she happily sends fans autographed photos of herself? If that’s something that you want in your life, don’t be shy about it — let her know. (She says on her Instagram to message or email her for details.) You know, Danielle’s social media was one of the divisive issues that cost Danielle Mullins her makeover show . While the media company that dropped her like a bad habit claimed that it was over her “unstable behavior,” Danielle disagreed . Apparently the media company had completely taken over Danielle’s social media accounts and begun posting clickbait ads — without Danielle getting to participate in that monetization. She likes to post family photos and links to articles about herself. Our guess? They’re both probably telling the truth as they see it. Danielle isn’t getting her makeover show, but she’s still determined to lose weight — even if no agency or network is willing to broadcast it. If she does it herself, we’re not really sure how effectively she’ll be able to monetize it … but maybe she’ll come up with something. Reality television stardom isn’t Danielle’s only life plan, however. She really wants to be a nurse, and has been taking courses in the hopes of getting her nursing license. Of course, she might hit a bit of an obstacle — because, as fans have pointed out to her, you can’t get a nursing license with certain criminal histories. And Danielle Mullins has a criminal past that, quite frankly, 90 Day Fiance barely even touched on. Danielle has responded by saying: “My criminal charges don’t count because they are misdemeanors, not felonies.” That’s interesting, because it was our understanding that her 2005 arrest came with felony charges of theft and forgery. But what matters, in this context, is that she was never found guilty of any felonies — the charges were dropped to misdemeanor theft. Again, that was all a very long time ago — but some fans say that Danielle hasn’t exactly turned over a new leaf. Remember, Mohamed Jbali accused her of misusing his identity and stealing his money shortly into their ill-fated marriage. Honestly, those allegations were the least of the couple’s problems. In fact, Danielle Mullins is suing Mohamed Jbali in the hopes of making up for the money that she says she spent on him. We have no idea how successful this venture will be. Remember, she first tried to get their marriage annulled — in order to not only end their marriage but get him deported back to Tunisia. Some fans accused her of being overly spiteful. She had accused Mohamed of cheating multiple times during their brief marriage. In the end, Danielle and Mohamed got divorced … though Mohamed Jbali might get deported anyway , based upon the late paperwork that he’s revealed on Instagram. Let’s hope not, though. Something that we should address is the “theory” espoused by some 90 Day Fiance viewers that Danielle is in some way “mentally challenged.” They point out things like her poor eyesight (her glasses look pretty heavy-duty), her behavior, and the alleged foul body odor that Mohamed Jbali accused her of having. First of all, some sort of “remote diagnosis” would be irresponsible for an actual psychologist without examining Danielle. So that whole discussion isn’t just rude — it’s a fool’s errand. But poor eyesight is just poor eyesight, and it runs in some families. It has no bearing on intelligence. Her behavior — the alleged stealing and general shadiness about money — might speak to impulsiveness and a lack of forethought about the consequences of her actions.  Some might say that bringing Mohamed Jbali across the world because she wanted sex was using the same sort of judgment. But you don’t need any kind of cognitive impairment to do that, folks. People make terrible decisions every single day. And as for the alleged body odor? That could be just about anything. Maybe she just needs a new deodorant, or maybe she has some sort of infection, or maybe it’s her clothes or her house or Mohamed’s imagination. Wisely, Danielle has never commented on any of these rumors. View Slideshow: 90 Day Fiance Couples: Who’s Still Together? Finally, Danielle Mullins says that she is in a relationship. But don’t expect to see her current gentleman caller any time soon. Danielle says that it is a long-distance relationship (uh oh, isn’t that how things with Mohamed Jbali started?) with a man who is averse to fame and would not want to appear on 90 Day Fiance or any other reality series. We … well, we sure do look forward to learning more about this mystery man. We’ll say that much.

Danielle Mullins: Criminal History, Unstable Behavior Revealed; Body Odor Alleged

Danielle Mullins: I Am NOT Unstable!

As we know, Danielle Mullins is not getting her own makeover show . It was totally in the works (if not yet a done deal), but not anymore. That’s what happens when you have a falling out with the media company that represents you. That company stated their reasons for terminating their relationship, but now Danielle is speaking out and sharing her side. In a surprising number of cases, 90 Day Fiance is a story about people journeying across the globe and leaving behind friends and family for love. They get married and start families. A lot of them seem to be set up for their happily ever afters. But, as always, there are a few bad apples in the bunch. In the case of 90 Day Fiance , these “apples” are relationships. Danielle Mullins’ relationship with Mohamed Jbali was rotten to the very core. From the start of their marriage, there were problems. Danielle accused Mohamed Jbali of cheating on her and demanded that they have sex. ( Danielle and Mohamed did bang , but only the once — to consummate their marriage) Mohamed accused Danielle of lying about her criminal record and of misusing his credit card and identity. He also complained that Danielle had a foul body odor and that she needed to seek medical help for it. The end result? A divorce so bitter that, even though they’re now exes, Danielle has been actively seeking to have Mohamed deported. Mohamed Jbali is done with 90 Day Fiance , and it looks like Danielle is, too. But Danielle was all set to get her own makeover show. She’d even lost weight in preparation for it. Thanking her haters for her new career , Danielle Mullins had signed with GR Media, the same company that had represented Mama June for her makeover show. GR Media told their side of things. It seemed that there was a battle of wills over control over Danielle Mullins’ social media accounts. Danielle wanted to post photos of her friends and family. She apparently also used social media to answer questions about restricted information. Allegedly, Danielle demonstrated such an instability that GR Media nearly took out a restraining order against her. Well, now Danielle is sharing her side of things in a lengthy Facebook post. “I would like to thank my supporters for supporting me this season. Due to difference of opinion, and much speculation by parties, it is unfortunate that me, GR Media, and BMB Management have to part ways.” And maybe we’ll get some answers. Or Danielle’s version of them. “I am writing this to clear up a couple of things that was stated in an article by Starcasm giving Gina’s side. I signed with BMB Management which is owned by Brandilyn Snail and I have never talked to her nor met while being signed to her company. My dealings were with Gina R odriguez and I only talked to her a few times on the phone and rest of the activity was done by text messaging.” Okay. “I only talked to Natasha Fett a couple of times on phone to and then rest by text messaging. I have been accused of extremely unstable behavior by all three which is not the case. How can they say that when they have never met me in person.” For the record, you can totally come across as unstable via text message. People do it all of the time. “They get that by what is already out there and has been portrayed on the show and that is sad to say that about someone you have never met. Furthermore they set me up to fail at this makeover excepting me to lose 20 pounds in a week to two weeks.” But it sounds like there’s hope for Danielle’s fans, as she still wants to go through this. “I am moving on from this on my own weight lose journey or with the help of another manager.” “I am grateful for the connections I’ve made and the friendships I’ve formed during this time. I wish continued success to my former management team and I implore my fans to take caution when reading certain stories as they pertain to the events that supposedly have taken place.” We’ll give her this much — she sounds super professional. “Again, I wish the best for all involved and I am looking forward to what the future holds for myself. Thank You ” If she does her weight loss journey on her own, we can expect a way lower budget and maybe some social media videos. If another agency decides to sign her, maybe she’ll get along better with them. In that case, we could be looking at Danielle Mullins on her own show. It would be a limited series, sure. But she’d still keep her name out there. Only time will tell, we guess. View Slideshow: 90 Day Fiance Couples: Who’s Still Together?

Chester Bennington’s Widow Releases Statement: My Life Is a Tragedy

Last week, the music world was shocked by the news that beloved Linkin Park singer Chester Bennington had passed away  at the age of 41. Shortly thereafter, investigators confirmed Bennington’s cause of death . Perhaps mimicking the recent suicide of his friend Chris Cornell , Bennington had hung himself in his Los Angeles home, where his body was discovered by a housekeeper. He died on what would have been Cornell’s 53rd birthday. Hundreds of thousands have paid tribute to Bennington online, including many of the famous friends he made over the course of his 17-year music career.  Today, the singer’s grief-stricken widow made her first public statement since Bennington’s passing. Her words reflect not only her own heartbreak, but also the grief endured by those who knew Bennington best, including his six children. “One week ago, I lost my soulmate and my children lost their hero – their Daddy,” Talinda Bennington wrote. “We had a fairytale life and now it has turned into some sick Shakespearean tragedy.” Talinda went on to say that she hopes her love for her children will sustain her through this incredibly difficult time. She also reminded fans that their words of support are deeply appreciated. “How do I move on? How do I pick up my shattered soul? The only answer I know is to raise our babies with every ounce of love I have left,” Talinda stated. “I want to let my community and the fans worldwide know that we feel your love. We feel your loss as well. My babies are so young to have lost their daddy. And I know that all of you will help keep his memory alive.” She concluded with a tribute to her departed husband that’s sure to leave many fans in tears. “He was a bright, loving soul with an angel’s voice,” Talida wrote. “And now he is pain-free singing his songs in all of our hearts. May God bless us all and help us turn to one another when we are in pain. Chester would’ve wanted us to do so. Rest In Peace, my love.” Bennington’s family members have stated that while they appreciate the well-wishes from fans, they plan to lay the singer to rest in a private ceremony. Our thoughts go out to Chester’s loved ones during this difficult time. View Slideshow: Chester Bennington: Celebrities React to Singer’s Shocking Suicide

Chester Bennington’s Widow Releases Statement: My Life Is a Tragedy

Adam Lind Ditches Aubree’s Father-Daughter Dance AGAIN!

Look, we all know Adam Lind is a garbage person. Not a person whose job it is to collect trash — no, those people are fine citizens who perform an important service for society. Adam Lind is a garbage person in the way that he may literally be made of garbage . He’s that awful. We don’t have time to recount all the many, many ways in which he is the worst — no one has that kind of time. But just to do a quick recap, he’s failed a drug test earlier this year when he was found to have meth in his system , and people in his life claim that he also does steroids. The mother of his second child has also claimed that he’s killed her puppies , and that he’s been abusive towards her in the past. On top of all that, he’s one of the worst parents in Teen Mom history. And right now, we’re going to focus on that last bit. Though we’ve seen many, many examples of Adam being a bad father on Teen Mom 2, perhaps the most heartbreaking example was when he stood up his daughter, Aubree, for a dance . Last year, Aubree’s school had a special father-daughter dance, and she got permission from her school to bring both Adam and Chelsea Houska’s then-boyfriend, Cole DeBoer. (She wanted Cole to come along because while Adam is her father, Cole is her “other daddy,” as she explained at the time.) Ultimately Adam didn’t show up at all, and he didn’t call or text, either, so Cole took Aubree by himself. The next time the poor little girl was with her dad, she asked him why he didn’t show up for the dance, and he told her he was busy practicing for a weight-lifting competition. Pathetic, right? And now, thanks to a bittersweet Teen Mom 2 sneak peek, we know that Adam missed this year’s father-daughter dance , too. The clip starts with Aubree and Cole riding around in his truck, and he asks her “Are you ready to go dancin’?!” “I didn’t know it was tonight,” she tells him, and he confirms that the father-daughter dance is indeed that night. “Better bring your dancing shoes, ’cause it’s on,” he says. Did we mention that it’s physically painful how adorable Cole is ? Later that day, we see Aubree and home with Chelsea, and Cole brings in two bouquets of flowers for his stepdaughter. One of Chelsea’s nieces is there too, and it looks like her father, Randy, is accompanying her to the dance. Chelsea asks Aubree if she can see her dance moves, and she obliges, then Chelsea shows off her moves, and all the while little baby Watson is chilling in a baby swing. Randy even gets in on the dancing, too! Cutest Teen Mom 2 clip ever? It’s a solid possibility. It’s also pretty telling that this time around, there’s not even a mention of Adam.

But on the other … man, how is Adam this big of a douchebag?
