Fernanda Flores Accuses Jonathan Rivera’s Girlfriend of Being His Mistress!

About one month ago, Fernanda Flores posted an massive 44-minute documentary explaining why her marriage to Jonathan Rivera came to an end. She leveled some major accusations against him at the time. Now, Fernanda has opened up further to fans. And this time, she has some words about Jonathan’s new girlfriend, too. … First of all, fans want to know if she heard from Jonathan after she posted her video accusing him of money problems, drinking problems, and abuse. “No he didn’t,” Fernanda shares. “We don’t have contact at all.” She did note that his family reached out to her to ask that a photo of them that was featured in the video be removed. Fernanda obliged their concerns, pulling the video, editing it, and then returning the new version. “I totally get it,” Fernanda explains. Naturally, since Jonathan has been flaunting his new lady love on social media, the topic came up. Fernanda says that she doesn’t “really have an opinion.” That makes sense. They’ve never so much as met. That said, Fernanda does admit that she’s surprised that this girl would willingly be  “with a married man.” Wait, what? We were all under the impression that their divorce papers were taken care of earlier this summer. “He said that he signed the divorce papers. Lie,” Fernanda declares. “He just filed for divorce,” she adds. “And I just got the paperwork last week” “How you don’t respect yourself as a woman?” Fernanda seems to ask Fernanda’s new girl. “Divorce first and then, well see, right?” she suggests. Fernanda offers an explanation for why, despite her youth, her looks, and her modeling work, she isn’t back in the dating game. She reasons: “some people just go right away to relationships to feel good with themselves and say ‘look how happy I am.’” “Other people heal by themselves, deal with the pain … and then move on,” Fernanda states. The implication here is that Fernanda is of that second variety, working on herself before she tries love again. It also sounds like she’s caling Jonathan’s happiness shallow or performative. “The producers reached out to me when we separated,” Fernanda reveals to her fans. But, she notes, they also made contact with Jonathan. “He answered them,” Fernanda says. “He talked to them. He filmed with them. He [sold] his part of the story to them.” “The reason why I didn’t is because I got zero from the show,” she explains. “I got no money from it.” “He did,” she notes. “And I felt like that was really, really unfair because I came here without money.” “I didn’t want to be part of that anymore,” Fernanda explains. She’s not the first 90 Day Fiance star to want to take charge of her portrayal. On the more positive and less dramatic side of things, it does sound like Fernanda is much happier these days. She gushes that she “loves” living in Chicago. “It’s really, really good and I’m happy,” Fernanda assures her numerous fans. So sweet!

Ben Higgins is Confused by All the Hannah Brown Sex Stuff

Ben Higgins says he has a few questions for Hannah Brown. And they all center around two rather important topics: 1. Religion. 2. Sex. We’ve suddenly got your attention, don’t we? During a podcast discussion on Tuesday with Bachelor Nation’s Courtney Robertson, Higgins honed in on how open Brown has been during this season of The Bachelorette about the pair of subject cited above. She has talked often about both her faith and, to be frank, her f-cking. We’re not being crass here. Hannah literally told the camera that she “f-cked” one of her suitors in a windmill. Twice. “One thing that I think Hannah is doing that is a little bit confusing is … she’s saying things like, ‘We all fall short and we need God’s grace,’” the former Bachelor lead said to Robertson, adding that he isn’t certain how to square Hannah’s fondness for sex with her belief in Jesus Christ. View Slideshow: Hannah Brown Banged in a Windmill and Twitter Lost Its Mind “Within that speech, she’s admitting to an incorrect decision, which on the show, I’m watching this and can kind of get behind her saying, ‘No, I feel good about this [decision to have sex],’” Higgins continued, referencing an Instagram post Brown shared last month . “And so is she saying she made a mistake by doing this? Or is she owning it and saying, ‘I’m confident in my decision to do this?’ “Because there are two different things that are happening … and that’s the one part that is confusing me with Hannah.” Facing backlash from Christian trolls who have dared to sex-shame her online, Brown fired back this summer as follows: “I am standing firm in believing that maybe God wants to use a mess like me to point to His goodness and grace. But dang, it’s hard… “We all fall short of the glory of God…we just happen to do it on national television.” What Higgins seems to be saying here is that Hannah wants to have it both ways. She wants to admit to falling “short” when it comes to her religion, implying that her goal is to please the Almighty — while also standing up for herself as a sexually active single person who just wants to get herself some D . We never thought The Bachelorette would cause folks to debate religion and how one ought to balance one’s love for God with one’s love for making love… but here we are. Higgins went on to claim that the one thing that he thinks Hannah has “not done well” is say one thing on air, but then jump on social media and make posts towards Luke that are “counterintuitive.” Indeed, ousted suitor Luke Parker and Hannah finally went at each other this past Monday night. But they did so with their clothes fully on , as Parker came right out and said he wanted off the show if Hannah had slept with any other contestant. He did all he could to guilt trip Hannah for her sexual actions, acting as if he owned her and as if she had done something wrong by getting her bang on with these other eligible fellas. “I have had sex, and, honestly, Jesus still loves me,” Hannah said to Luke to put a capper on their epic argument . “@AlabamaHannah The difference in how we view sin is seen in the response, I’m weeping at mine and you’re laughing at yours. All sin stings. My heart hurts for both of us,” Luke later Tweeted, which sparked a reaction from Brown as follows: Time and time again jesus loved and ate with ‘sinners’ who laughed. and time and time again he rebuked ‘saints’ that judged. where do you fall Luke?

For The First Time, Huggies Puts A Black Father On Its Packaging!

See original here:

Source: Huggies / Huggies It looks like Huggies is making some history for itself. On July 8, the pampers powerhouse debuted new packaging for its “Special Delivery” diapers, boasting a beautiful Black father, a first of its kind in the company’s 41-year-old history. It’s also part of a larger campaign that showcased other dads (and moms) as well. One of the fathers modeling for the Daddy-friendly packaging box is Chicago-native Orlando Thompson and his 3-year-old daughter Soraya Lattimore.  Thompson told USA Today that he is honored to be part of a push to change the way we look at our fatherhood. “There’s a stereotype that’s out there that dads in general, not just a particular race, are not connected to their kids and not affectionate,” Thompson stressed, adding, “This should have been displaced a long time ago.” So why now for this much-needed representation? “We really believe in celebrating all parents and the great job that parents are doing,” Huggies North America brand director Kristine Rhode recently told USA Today.  She added, “When you think about the important role that dads have in the family today and how that continues to grow, we wanted to make sure they were equally celebrated.” Source: Huggies / Huggies   We absolutely love these images, especially given the negative stereotypes about African-American fathers that persist in society. It’s empowering to see our fathers being the amazing caretakers we know them to be. Naturally, we’re not the only ones praising this Huggies campaign. Social media celebrated it as well: This is the first black father and child to represent Huggies Their names to me is unknown. pic.twitter.com/b0toN4Tbh0 —

‘Basketball Wives’ Recap: Shaunie Trolls Evelyn By Inviting Jennifer On The Girls Trip

Read the original:

Source: David Livingston / Getty Tonight’s episode of Basketball Wives starts with Tami and her business partner, and shoe designer, Jessica Rich going over prototypes for Tami’s shoe line. And then OG walks in. Tami invited her because she wants to make sure she’s okay after that brunch. That’s the real reason they’re there. Tami said she’s disappointed in how the brunch went. Obviously, OG is happy to have at least one person in her corner. I other news, Jennifer meets up with Kristen to deliver a letter for her to give to Shaunie. We don’t know what’s in the letter, but basically, Jenn says she’s ready to take some accountability for her messed up actions. Now we’re at Byron and CeCe’s engagement party. Everything looks nice. Malaysia and Jackie come through, and CeCe is happy to see them. However, Malaysia is bummed that Kristen and her husband aren’t there because she feels like their feud with CeCe is killing her family. And guess what, OG ends up showing up later. Malaysia decides to take this time, because it’s the most appropriate moment, to confront OG. Basically, Malaysia tells her that Byron said he never told her to tell that secret. In Malaysia’s mind, OG said that Byron told her to tell everyone. In reality, Byron told OG that it’s okay to talk about it because people already know. There is a difference. Malaysia says it’s the same thing. OG says it’s not. They go in circles for a second, but Malaysia surprisingly decides to shut this conversation down so they can talk another time. Now we’re at Shaunie’s house for her son’s 16th birthday party. The house looks kind of like the house from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air , so that’s the party theme. But the meat of this moment is that Kristen pulls Shaunie aside to give her Jenn’s letter. Shaunie decides to read it in front of Evelyn and Jackie. Basically, Jenn wrote some fluff about how it was nice to see her at her other son’s party, but it’s still a non-apology. Despite that, it’s enough for Shaunie to consider inviting Jenn on their upcoming girls trip to San Diego. Evelyn is definitely not feeling that, but we all know Shaunie is going to invite Jenn. Tami finally reveals that she and Reggie are married. She had a cute little party at her house to make the announcement. Everyone seemed happy for her, even Jackie, who was mad at her but also happy at the same time. You know how Jackie does. Let’s fast forward to San Diego. We find the group headed there in two separate cars. Jenn is present with her friend, Dominique, because she needs at least one person on her side. Feby, Shaunie, and Evelyn ride in one car and the rest, minus Tami, are in the other car. When it comes up that Jenn brought Dominique, it turns out that Evelyn and Dominique don’t like each other either (so, Jenn knew what she was doing). Ev’s group arrives first. The second group of women arrives shortly after and Evelyn gets annoyed at the sight of Jenn from jump. They manage to pick rooms without a hitch and tonight’s episode ends on a low-key note, but next week, the turnup cometh. Evelyn and Jenn are going to get into it for the 1,422,343,415,251 time.

Iowa Public Official Fired After Shouting Out Tupac In A Company Email To 4,300 Employees

Source: Al Pereira / Getty We may have found the biggest Tupac fan in the Midwest. And no, it’s not who you think it is. The Associated Press reports that 66-year-old Jerry Foxhoven , formerly Iowa’s Department of Human Services Director, was let go from his job after sending a Tupac-referencing email to all 4,300 of the agency’s employees. Now, other folks had complained about Foxhoven’s Tupac themed emails before and according to company documents, Foxhoven released about 350 pages worth of emails with the words “Tupac” or “2Pac” sent to and from him during his two years at the Department. Want your mind blown? This, is Jerry Foxhoven. He would host “Tupac Fridays” parties in the office, traded lyrics with employees and marked his own 65th birthday with a Shakur-themed party, complete with “Thug Life” decorated on the cookies. All in all, Foxhoven seemed to be inspired by the “So Many Tears” rapper, telling colleagues that he was inspired by lyrics that included: “it’s time for us as a people to start makin’ some changes.” Foxhoven’s final email told his co-workers to celebrate Father’s Day  and Tupac’s birthday (June 16th) by listening to tracks like “Changes” and “Ambitionz Az A Ridah” among others. The next day, Iowa governor Kim Reynolds told him to resign. Yeah, all because HE didn’t forget about Pac, even if some employees didn’t care for the slain rapper. But, nobody knows for certain why Foxhoven was let go from his position. And according to Iowa law, state agencies are required to release the “documented reasons and rationale” when employees resign instead of being terminated. “As the governor has said, a lot of factors contributed to the resignation of Jerry Foxhoven and now Gov. Reynolds is looking forward to taking DHS in a new direction,” spokesman Pat Garrett said.

Joe Giudice Files Desperate Final Appeal: It’s the BANK’S Fault I Committed Fraud!

Desperate times call for desperate measures, and no one is more desperate these days than reality-star-turned-inmate Joe Giudice. The husband of Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice, Joe was found guilty on fraud charges along with his wife back in 2015. At this point, the sentences have been served, but for Joe, the punishment might be just getting started. A citizen of Italy (Joe was born in the village of Saronno, but his family relocated to Jersey when he was just a year old.), Giudice is facing deportation for his crimes. Giudice says he knows nothing of Italy and doesn’t even speak the language. Furthermore, Teresa Giudice has no plans to join her husband overseas, so the move would likely have quite an impact on Joe’s marriage, as well as his relationship with his four daughters. We say all of this simply to explain why someone would fight tooth and nail to avoid being kicked out of New Jersey. Anyway, as we reported yesterday, Joe received an extension on his final appeal , which is huge, as he recently earned the support of a high-powered advocacy group called the Immigrant Rights Clinic of Washington Square Legal Services (IRC). With the IRC in his corner, Joe is trying a new tactic. Basically, this is that part of the legal drama where the underdog client meets the hot-shot lawyer who vows to put the system on trial. While Joe’s previous lawyers attempted to convince the court that he shouldn’t be kicked out of the country because he’s lived here for basically his entire life, his new legal team is arguing that he never should have been sent to prison in the first place, as he’s essentially a modern-day Robin Hood. Giudice’s lawyers now claim that Joe is not guilty of “aggravated felony” (the charge that serves as the basis for deportation) because he scammed Wells Fargo, a bank that previously issued loans in a way that “amounted to consumer fraud.” “Here the Petitioner will show that a bank legally compelled to forgive a fraudulently made loan should not be held to have suffered a loss from fraud,” Joe’s attorneys wrote in a brief filed earlier this week. Yes, Team Giudice is now arguing that this was essentially crook-on-crook crime, and Joe and Teresa never should have been imprisoned in the first place. “Proceedings were incorrectly instituted, and should have been terminated,” the lawyers say of the Giudices original criminal trial. Even if that swing for the fences doesn’t pay off, Joe might find himself receiving some much-needed mercy from the court. His lawyers are employing several strategies in their final push to keep him in the States, including reminding the judge that he’s spent the past several decades building a life in the Garden State. “He married his wife Teresa, a United States citizen, on October 23. 1999. The couple has four children, all born in the United States,” the papers stated. Aside from calling Bruce Springsteen, Tony Soprano, and Chris Christie as surprise character witnesses, we’re not sure what else Joe can do to conv View Slideshow: Teresa Giudice: Filing For Divorce Once Joe Gets Deported?! ince the judge he deserves to remain in Jersey.

Nicole Nafziger: DUMPED by Azan When She Ran Out of Cash?

Fans have been concerned for years that Azan Tefou, whose real name is Hassan, is just stringing along Nicole Nafziger. Viewers of this latest season of 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After? haven't exactly been reassured by the content of Season 4. The plan remains the same: Nicole will embark on an expensive trip, meet up with Azan, and eventually bring him to the US with her. Nicole keeps showing a lot of eagerness. Azan, from what 90 Day Fiance viewers have seen, has not. After their latest mysteriously canceled trip, fans have been reporting that Azan is finally done catfishing her. Not because he had a moral wakeup call — but because she ran out of cash to send him. Is it true? Take a look: 1. Is it over? A lot of fans want to see Nicole get her happily ever after, but some of her supporters are less and less sure that she can get that with Azan. No matter how you feel about them as a couple, if this new breakup rumor about them is true, it’s going to be huge for the fandom. 2. First, they tried 90 Day Fiance Nicole apparently signed up because she thought that the show might help with the K-1 visa process. Nope! Where’s the drama in that? The paperwork (and it is expensive) remains the American spouse’s job. 3. That didn’t work Nicole says that men Azan’s age are not having any luck getting K-1 visas. Young Muslim men having trouble getting into the US is pretty believable, unfortunately. That said … this is the same couple who claims that Morocco doesn’t allow money to be sent out, which does not appear to be true. 4. The plan is still to live in America It’s just that that plan now involves extra steps, beyond those of the K-1 visa. 5. So they’ll get married in Morocco! That’s what Nicole and Azan tried to do, only to call off the wedding … twice. Nicole’s family is in less good humor about losing out travel money than Nicole herself. 6. Nicole promised that she’d made a careful investment She told her fans and family alike that she’d given Azan $6,000 so that he could start a shop in Morocco. It was a very vaguely defined store, and people worried that she was being scammed. Nicole’s intention was to put people at ease because they were laying the groundwork for their future together.

‘I’m Fine, What’s Wrong?!’ Shannon Brown Says He’s Unbothered In Wake Of Monica Divorce

Source: Prince Williams / Getty Shannon Brown Speaks On Monica Divorce Shannon Brown gave a rare comment this week on his personal life. The basketball star/estranged husband of Monica Brown appeared on “ Sister Circle TV” Tuesday to speak on his career as a baller and his current status playing in Ice Cube’s Big3 league. He also spoke on his foundation and his Skills Summit Camp that’s based around health awareness for local kids—but things got especially interesting when host Rashan Ali mentioned that he was “going through a lot” in his personal life. According to Shannon, however, that’s simply untrue. He’s doing juuuust fine despite Monica filing for divorce in March. “I haven’t been going through a lot of nothing,” said Shannon. “A lot of people take stories they hear and they blow it up for entertainment purposes but I’ve learned how to ignore the negativity and keep pushing forward. I think a lot of people got the same idea, they see me and say, “Are you okay?!” I’m fine. What’s wrong?” Oh?     Both Monica and Shannon have remained mostly quiet about what caused their split, but Monica recently said on the “RuPaul Show ” that it was NOT infidelity. “Even though I’m on reality TV, there’s certain parts and elements of it that I’ve never discussed because when you get married, it is between the two of you and whatever happens within it, it’s us and God,” said Monica to RuPaul. “No matter what happens, he will always get my absolute respect, gratitude and also my assistance in being a part of whatever his life becomes … I’ll be there to support because that’s what I vowed to do, even when the other side of it does not work.” Luckily, for us, it wasn’t another person that was the issue but in the times that I’ve experienced that, I definitely act out very harshly,” she said. “So that part of the growth has been good. Me being hurt repeatedly allowed me to say, ‘Okay, how do you deal with hurt?’” We wish them the best. 13:05
