Back in January, the Bachelor Nation was overjoyed to hear that Jade Roper and Tanner Tolbert were expecting Baby #2 . Now, the happy couple has welcomed baby #2 — a beautiful newborn boy. But there’s a twist, because they never made it to the hospital, and Jade ended up giving bitrth at home … in the master bedroom’s closet. “I accidentally gave birth at home last night,” Jade revealed on Instagram on Tuesday. “In our master closet.” “I’ve been still processing the shock of this all,” she admitted. Jade clarified: “as this was not all at what I had planned.” “But,” she noted. “I am so so thankful for each person who helped bring our son into the world safely.” Along with her caption, Jade included a very candid photo from the scene. “I’ll share my whole birth story soon,” Jade promised her fans and followers. “But long story short,” she wrote. “My waters broke.” “And 75 minutes later,” Jade continued. “I gave birth to our healthy baby boy.” That is an exceptionall short labor! She wrote that she delivered her son “while clutching a bench in our closet.” “It was one of the scariest moments of my life,” Jade admitted. She then went on to explain that it was so frightening “because I felt so out of control.” Of course! Childbirth can be frightening under the best of circumstances. “But Tanner, Tanner’s mom, my mom, and the medics and firefighters kept me going,” Jade gushed. She praised them for staying by her side “when I felt like the world was caving in on me and my unborn baby.” “I was going to share the happy, cute Instagrammable pics first,” Jade told her fans and followers. You know, the classic shots of the mom with her newborn resting on her chest, or of the newborn in a cradle. “But,” she explains of the chaotic closet photo. “This felt right to me.” “So incredibly grateful for the support system we had,” Jade expressed. “And for this beautiful boy,” she concluded. “I get to hold in my arms.” Countless comments poured in after Jade shared her stressful story and her good news. Chris Harrison himself commented: “Now that’s the most dramatic delivery ever.” Lauren Burnham gushed: “Dang woman, you are amazing. Congratulations on your baby boy!” Speaking of Lauren Bs, Lauren Bushnell wrote: “Oh my goodness!!!!! Glad you and baby are ok!!!” “Wow!!!! You are a superhero girl!!!!!! Congratulations!!!” raved Vanessa Grimaldi. Pregnancy is a complicated thing. Due dates and delivery times can be difficult or even impossible to accurately predict. Labor often lasts several hours. For some, that means a full day of agony. For others, as was clearly the case with Jade, labor can come and go in less time than it takes to watch a movie. Having a solid plan to get to the hospital to give birth is a great idea, but it’s important for couples to realize that they can’t plan for everything. Childbirth can and will throw you for a loop.

There were tears and there were tantrums. There was rampant sexism and rampant sex… in a windmill . There were 30 suitors and then there were three and then, heading into Tuesday night’s The Bachelorette finale, there were two. But who was the final one left standing? Was it Tyler? Was it Jed? Was it, in the very end, neither of these aspiring husbands? Let’s get to the recap, shall we?!? “I am conflicted in my heart,” Hannah said when she woke up in Greece to kick off the finale, shocking viewerd who figured this would be an easy choice for her and adding: “I was hopeful that I would have clarity but today… I don’t know. I don’t want to not be 100 percent sure and then make the wrong decision.” Just how torn was the Alabama native? On her way to the proposal location, Hannah asked that the driver of her car pull over. She then got out of the vehicle, started walking away — and tripped! From her spot on the ground, she examined her elbow and told a producer: “I really can’t do this.” Still, she got up, dusted herself off and proceeded. And then entered Tyler, the first man to approach Hannah with a Neil Lane engagement ring. The contractor thought back the moment he fell in love with Hannah and gave her props for helping him transform into the man he wants to be. The man he was previously unsure he could be. But Hannah cut Tyelr off before he could propose.’ “I am so lucky to be loved by you and to feel that,” she began. “You have supported me, you have been so sweet and strong for me and done everything that I’ve asked and more, and loved me so much. And my life with you would be amazing. And when I told you I was falling in love with you, I mean it.” And then she dropped the heartbreaking bombshell: ” But I love someone else. I’m so sorry .” Tyler was hurt, but also classy. “That’s going to hurt but I’m still going to be your biggest fan rooting for you,” he told Hannah. “I wish you and Jed nothing but success. I really mean that.” Did Hannah find success with the supposed man of her dreams? Jed exited his car and walked up to his alleged soulmate with a guitar, telling the series lead: “Though the other side is kind of unsure, right here is for sure and I know that I love you. And talking is hard sometimes for me so …” Yes, he then broke into song, strumming and singing: We always knew it’s me and you. “I’ve been praying for this moment for a long time,” Hannah told Jed in response. “I’ve been praying for you. You’ve supported me, you’ve loved me, you’ve challenged me, you’ve moved me and it’s made me love you so, so much. And I am in complete love with you.” Cue the proposal! “I don’t want to go another day of my life without you being all mine,” Jed said as he took a knee. “Hannah, will you marry me?” YES , Hannah replied. “She’s gonna be a Wyatt!” Jed cheered to the cameras. Is she really, though? We learned after this opening hour that the couple’s honeymoon phase lasted two days. “The second night after we got engaged, Jed tells me that he had been hanging out with this girl before he left to come on the show,” Hannah revealed on the finale. “I was like, ‘When was this?’ And I remember him saying a week before the show. And I was like, ‘Okay, so you broke it off?’ He said yes, told me it was nothing. It was hard to hear, but I tried to let it go.” Wyatt, of course, has been at the center of cheating allegations for weeks now. Back in Los Angeles, Hannah and Jed sat down to discuss the allegations by Haley Stevens , in which she said that she and Jed were in a serious relationship while he was on The Bachelorette. When pushed by Hannah, Wyatt said he had slept with Haley the night before he left for this ABC franchise. He also said they spent a weekend together in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, after which she met Jed’s parents. Then, in January, Haley threw Jed a surprise birthday party… and her parents gifted them a trip to The Bahamas. Right before the trip, Jed learned he had been cast on The Bachelorette and, yes, he admitted to Hannah on the finale that he told Stevens he would go on the show just to promote his music. He also told Stevens that he loved her during this vacation to The Bahamas. Jed then actually added that arriving in Los Angeles for The Bachelorette effectively ended his relationship with Stevens — but he NEVER TOLD HER THAT. “ To me, I ended it in my heart and not verbally ,” he told Brown. “This is obviously humiliating for me,” said Hannah, adding that members of her family were receiving messages about the controversy. “When I look back, yeah, it was a f-cking sh-tty thing to do and I should’ve walked up and said something right then and there, and I didn’t,” he said. “I should’ve said something at the Fantasy Suite and I didn’t. But once this started happening and I started seeing how I was feeling about you, I couldn’t think about anything else. You were it. “The reason I held back details that I did was because I was scared that if I told you, you’d walk away from me. And that’s the most coward thing to hear, I know, but that’s just the truth. And I’m so not proud of it.” View Slideshow: The Bachelorette Stars: Where Are They Now? Hannah was irate. She was bitter. But she was also sure of herself and clear-headed. “I was being told half-truths and lies and you wanted me to have clarity and clarity means truth,” she told Jed. “You got to see all of me, I didn’t get to see all of you.” Shortly thereafter, the finale cut to the live studio segment, where Hannah confirmed she had dumped Jed’s cheating rear end . “From the bottom of my heart, I want you to know that I’m sorry. … I wasn’t the best that I could be,” Jed told Hannah on air, adding: “I’m sorry that I took away that experience from you. I’m sorry that this has hurt your family, your friends, Bachelor Nation, everyone, my family. I’m sorry. I’m responsible for this. I will own up to it all day.” And the Winner is? Yes!

But I appreciate your apology and I know that it’s hurt me a lot, but I know that this has not been easy for you and your family. “I know critics can be hard. I have some too. What you did was not right and not good, but I did fall in love with you. “And I know that that person’s in there, and I just hope that from this you will be honest and learn and grow into the man that I do believe that you can be for whoever in your future.” And with that, one of the most intense and controversial seasons of The Bachelor has come to an end.

As we learned on The Bachelorette last night , Peter Weber had sex with Hannah Brown four times inside of a special windmill hotel-type room during this season’s Fantasy Suite week. Alas, those were the final four times Peter Weber will ever have sex with Hannah Brown. Because The Bachelorette selected Tyler and Jed to be her two finalists heading into tonight’s concluding episode, sending Peter home in a limo filled with tears. Did Hannah make the wrong decision? Peter certainly thinks so, although he doesn’t appear to harbor any ill will toward his ex-lover. “She was just honestly the most amazing person I’ve ever met so far in my life,” Weber said on air, on the verge of a major breakdown. “I’m just grateful for all those memories we made and being able to fall in love with her.” In love with her?!? Yes. “I really fell for her and I had no doubt that it was going to be us in the end,” Peter added. “I really didn’t [think I was going home]. That was tough to watch back.” Weber spoke with Chris Harrison on a stage after his portion of the dating show came to an end, reiterating his strong feelings for Brown. He made it sound like they will last for all of eternity. “I don’t think you can completely fall out of love with someone,” he said. “It’s been two months. I’ve been moving on and doing my best with that and I know time will heal all wounds. A little piece of my heart will always love her.” Hannah eventually came on the set to come face-to-face with Weber for the first time since their split, telling him that she wished he would have been more honest about his feelings for her from the beginning. “There wasn’t anything wrong and I know that’s probably hard to hear because I wish I could give you a clear concrete answer, but I truly thought you would meet my family,” she told him, adding: “I wish I would have known a little bit sooner about how you felt and you would have told me maybe. I was scared. I think I felt like you were scared to love me.” Brown explained that she always felt just a litle held back emotionally — but not physically, as she made very clear… … in front of Peter’s parents, no less! Addressing the legendary “windmill” moment, where she previously admitted to sleeping with Weber twice, Brown clarified that it was actually “four times,” prompting Peter to respond: “I still can confidently say that Jesus still loves both of us.” For the record, meanwhile, Weber did NOT address the accusations that were made by his ex-girlfriend, model Calee Lutes , who told Entertainment Tonight this month that Weber unexpectedly broke up with her in December… right before going on The Bachelorette. “He definitely didn’t go on the show for the right reasons. I believe he went on it for the chance at fame, and he got what he wanted,” Lues told ET in an email interview. Perhaps. We doubt Weber will be chosen as The Bachelor , so we’ll see whether this fame is long-lasting or fleeting. As for who will end up as Hannah’s fiance? Click below to find out! View Slideshow: The Bachelorette Spoilers: How Will it End? Who Will Hannah Pick?!
According to various sources, Mike Johnson is the front-runner to be ABC’s next Bachelor. And, yes, we know why: He’s very handsome. He’s very down to Earth. He’s kind and humble and we typically trust Demi Lovato’s taste in men . But do viewers want handsome? Do they want down to Earth? Do they want someone who is generous and nice and free from scandal? Or do viewers want controversy? Do they want sexism? Do they want someone who thinks he is holier than pretty much anyone else on the planet? In other words: Do they want Luke Parker? We know, we know; Parker sucks. He proved himself to be a misogynistic narcissist throughout his run on Hannah Brown’s ongoing season of The Bachelorette. But let’s also face it: scandal sells. Controversy sells. Vanilla does not draw ratings. This is why we’ve posed the following question to our staff members: SHOULD LUKE PARKER BE THE NEXT BACHELOR? Before you scoff at the notion, ask yourself whether you’d tune in to see what a season with Parker at the helm would be like. Because that’s the only issue ABC executives are debating right now. Will folks actually watch? We can’t say for certain, but we can say the following about the possibility: Why Not by Tyler Johnson Look, I agree with everyone else that Mike Johnson deserves to be the next Bachelor, and he would probably be the most charismatic selection in the show’s history. And I also agree that Luke Parker is a sociopath, a pathological liar, a manipulator, and a narcissist. He’s frighteningly quick to anger, and some of his behavior toward Hannah this season arguably constituted psychological abuse. But at the same time, I don’t think any figure on either side of the rose stand has ever kept me glued to my screen quite as effectively as Luke P. I’m not proud of it, either — but the show’s grown more than a little stagnant over the course of 15 seasons, and apparently, it needed a dash of evil to liven up the proceedings. Of course, a little goes a long way when you’re talking about Luke, which is probably why God made him 5’4” in lifts. Could Parker really anchor his own season of The Bachelor? More importantly, could the casting department really round up 30 women who are willing to fight for this jackass’ affection? The answer might be in a spinoff: The A-Hole Bachelorette, in which women who have proven themselves to be less than upstanding citizens (perhaps they’ve done time for a violent crime, or they have a Nickelback tattoo they don’t even regret) are offered someone like Luke as a consolation prize. It may sound crazy, but given the recent allegations against series creator Mike Fleiss, truth in advertising laws might force the show to change its title to The A-Hole Bachelorette, anyway. Might as well make it a whole theme and cast Luke. Nope by Simon Delott Obviously, you don’t want every Bachelor to be the same. Mixing it up makes a lot of sense. To wit: Arie was the one that nobody liked. Colton was a virgin himbo. Luke Parker is polarizing, handsome… and fascinating enough that he overstayed his welcome for way too many episodes on Hannah’s season. But he’s also a creep. Bonding with Hannah over their shared faith was great. He later tried to twist that around and control her. Not great. In fact, you have to wonder if any dude who seems to have trouble making friends or getting along with fellow human beings should be considered for leading man. And the Winner is? No Way! Click Here To Vote for NO! Heck yes! Click Here To Vote for YES! Luke Parker may be a sexist pig, but would he make an entertaining Bachelor? Vote now! View Poll » Luke’s behavior resonated in a bad way with a lot of viewers. This is a fact. Scores of women took to social media to reflect upon how his red flags matched up with those of their exes. The Bachelor is supposed to be about finding love, not your fight-or-flight response going off out of worry for the women on screen. ABC has the resources to find another guy who’s topical and has a nice jawline who isn’t going to behave like a Lifetime movie villain. We all enjoy drama and big personalities, but casting Luke as the leading man just seems indecent. No by Hilton Hater I would have been in favor of this idea up until Luke’s very last episode . As my esteemed colleagues above have pointed out, Parker acted like a sexist pig nearly every week — but the truth is that sexist pigs exist in the world. It would actually have been fascinating to see how one reacted to life as The Bachelor. Could we actually have witnessed some kind of transformation while he was surrounded by beautiful, intelligent women? Could this have been an opportunity for Luke to evolve and realize the errors of his awful ways? Could The Bachelor have opened up the eyes of The Bachelor himself and, most importantly, could Luke really have remained celibate until marriage when presented with the keys to the Fantasy Suite? We’ll never know because ABC will never select Luke as The Bachelor. And this is now clearly the right decision. I cringed when Luke cast actual blame and guilt on Hannah for sleeping with two other suitors. I rolled my eyes he said that he saw something in Hannah the moment he noticed her on Colton’s season of this ABC franchise. I wanted to straight up punch him he later wrote that he tried to bring glory to God by appearing as one of her contestants. In this final moments and these new social media messages, Luke went from being an A-Hole who would make for entertaining television… to simply being an abusive crazy person. Placing him front and center on The Bachelor would be unethical and a total slap to the face of women everywhere. It would also be a misguided notion by Chris Harrison and his fellow producers. Luke was tailor made this season to be the side player that fans love to hate. But you know what happens when you try to turn a side player into a star attraction, don’t you? You get the sitcom Joey .
Isabel Rock has said very little over the years. She hasn’t really had to, of course, as she wasn’t dating Jacob Roloff back when he was a prominent cast member on Little People, Big World The couple mostly got serious after Jacob quit the show back in the summer of 2016. But now, just over a month before she becomes Mrs . Jacob Roloff, Rock has felt a need to speak out. That’s what happens when strangers are all up in your personal business; heck, all up in your person itself, specifically your womb. This is what we mean: Earlier this week, Little People, Big World patriarch Matt Roloff shared a gallery of images to his Instagram account, including a snapshot featuring himself posing alongside his son and future daughter-in-law. Matt did so because he and Jacob had just picked out the latter’s suit for his September 7 wedding. “Look who popped over for a visit ..they wanted to show me the final look of the New Man!” Matt wrote as a caption, adding: “Working hard every day getting the farm shaped up for their big day.” Indeed, Jacob and Isabel will be exchanging their vows on Roloff Farms, just as Tori and Zach Roloff did and just as Audrey and Jeremy Roloff did. However, instead of focusing on these nuptials and/or on Jacob’s fancy look… a bunch of social media honed in on Rock’s stomach and wondered if there was a person growing inside of there. Pretty inappropriate, right? And yet something that happens all the time online. “Are they expecting?” one person asked. “She looks pregnant,” another remarked. “She sure does look pregnant to me that’s for sure,” wrote a third individual. But Rock didn’t let this speculation linger for too long, jumping into the Comments section and writing simply: “ Definitely not pregnant ,” she wrote. “ Just a flowy dress .” Jacob and Isabel got engaged in December of 2018 while vacationing in Iceland, with Roloff dropping to one knee with a ring concealed in a handcrafted wooden box. Wrote Rock on Instagram of the romantic gesture: “My heart started beating so fast. He handed me my gift; a tiny black box, inside of it a tiny bag, with a stunning turquoise ring. I slowly pulled it out, and to my complete surprise, it was a ring we had seen earlier that day — a handmade Icelandic ring that was my favorite color. “But it was definitely not an engagement ring! “Tripping over my words I said, ‘Oh.. it’s.. it’s beautiful,’ because it was, but I will admit I was completely thrown off!” Concluded Rock at that time: “Right then, Jacob spun me around and said, ‘Alright, one more gift…’ and that is the moment he got down on one knee and asked the question I’d been longing to hear… “He asked with a ring box he had hand built out of real wood and my dream ring. I said ‘YES!’ and leapt into his arms to hug him and we both cried.” View Slideshow: Little People, Big World: The Roloffs’ Shocking Scandals… Exposed! [Updated]
Demi Burnett found love in Paradise. That’s not much of a spoiler, since even the trailer showed Demi kissing her lady love . Unfortunately, Bachelor in Paradise reaching this long-overdue milestone of inclusiveness resulted in some bigoted backlash. See how Demi tastefully clapped back at what homophobes had to say to her: On Monday, July 22, Demi Burnett took to Twitter to officially come out. “Spoiler alert: I’m a queer queen,” Demi tweeted. Her announcement was not a total shock, given that she can be seen making out with a woman on the trailer for Bachelor in Paradise . Unfortunately, as you can imagine, she received some truly hateful, homophobic messages from various bigots. “The moment you described the relationship as disgusting,” Demi replied to one homophobe. “Is the moment you claimed yourself as homophobic” Some of the replies she received were too slur-filled to transcribe and have been removed by Twitter for violating a whole bunch of Twitter rules. Demi also received some considerably less hostile messages that, nonetheless, missed the mark. “I know you’re trying to mean well,” Demi wrote in response to a now-deleted tweet. “However,” Demi continued. “The goal is for the LGBTQ+ community to not be viewed as separate.” “Saying they need a “rainbow bachelor” is a bit homophobic,” she explained. “We are all humans.” “Segregation based on sexuality needs to die,” Demi affirmed. “Coexist motha f–ka.” That last line is very, very good. But Demi didn’t just want to highlight to hateful messages that she received. “My DMs are so blown up with love that y’all have drowned out all the hate,” Demi wrote to her fans and followers. “It’s 3am,” she tweeted. “And I’m going to bed with a smile on my face.” “Love you all so much,” Demi gushed. Following a double-heart emoji, Demi concluded: “Thank you.” We’re heartbroken that she received so much hate from people vowing to quit watching Bachelor in Paradise , but encouraged by the support she received. A few folks on Twitter expressed confusion after Demi came out. If she’s queer … does that mean that she wasn’t really that into Colton in the first place? Queer as a word within the LGBTQ+ community goes back to before World War I. Then, as now, it was used as an umbrella term. Someone who might identify as gay or bisexual or avoid a specific label might go by queer. So, too, might someone whose gender identity never really matched up with what was assigned to them at birth. And that’s not an exhaustive list. Decades later, queer became a slur, only to later be thoroughly reclaimed by the community. These days, it is an increasingly popular label, in part because of its inclusive nature. Labels don’t have to be divisive, after all. So yes, Demi was really into Colton Underwood. But it turns out to be a very good thing that she wasn’t his final choice. She ended up finding love all on her own. As we reported last month, Demi does more than just kiss this woman. Demi is part of the Bachelor Nation’s first same-sex engagement . Bachelor in Paradise has always seemed like a good setting for a more inclusive environment. It’s hard to tell an LGBTQ+ love story on The Bachelor or The Bachelorette — at least, so long as all of the contestants are women or men, respectively. And despite those shows being based upon dating multiple people, it’s not really a good polyamorous story if, in the end,, you just end up with a couple. But Bachelor in Paradise has a lot more options, a lot more chaos, and a lot more potential. This season, we’re getting a queer engagement. Maybe next season, an actual long-term throuple. It’s exciting to consider. That said, anything would be an improvement over last season’s painful drama.

In two weeks, Bachelor in Paradise will take nine men and 11 women to Mexico, as those involved search for romance, love, sex and a whole lot of alcohol. But while fans of thise franchise were likely already excited for the sixth season this summer, ABC has now gone ahead and given them a fresh reason to look forwrd to the chaos to come: One of these upcoming episodes will feature the first same-sex kiss in show history. And, by the looks of what transpires in this extended trailer, it won't just be any same-sex kiss, either. Which is to say: it won't be some drunken dare or one-off. There will be real feelings behind the girl-on-girl spit swap. Ahead of this preview's release, Demi Burnett jumped on Twitter and wrote the following: “Spoiler alert: I’m a queer queen.” She then backed up this declaration via her actions and her words on Season 6, making out with a mystery woman on a bed at one point and then saying on air: “I don't care who sees this. I know that I love this girl. I'm just so happy that I found her, and I can definitely picture being with her for the rest of my life.” It's worth noting, however, that this same trailer shows Burnett and contestant Derek Peth in the hot tub together, indicating that we may have a love triangle on our hands this season. Elsewhere, the lengthy promo promises “heartbreaking drama,” “more crying than ever before,” which would really be saying something, an actual fight that breaks out between the men on the beach … and multiple proposals at season's end. There's a lot going on here, folks. Like, a whole lot. The sneak also teases the wedding of Krystal Nielson and Chris Randone, who met on Season 5 of Bachelor in Paradise last year and got engaged at the end of the summer. ABC’s two-night season premiere of Bachelor in Paradise airs Augugst 5 and August 6, both at 8/7c. Ready for your first look at what's on tap? Check out the video now!
On Wednesday, we reported on the shocking allegation that Bachelor and Bachelorette creator Mike Fleiss attacked his pregnant wife , Laura Kaeppeler, during an altercation at the couple’s home in Hawaii. Laura says Mike tried to pressure her into getting an abortion she didn’t want and became angry when she refused to comply with his demands. Now, Kaeppeler has fled with the couple’s 4-year-old son, and both sides are telling their stories through court documents. Mike filed for divorce this week, and he claims he has not heard from Laura or his son since July 7. Fleiss urged police to ignore Laura’s restraining order request, claiming that she is the one who’s violating the law by concealing his son’s whereabouts. And that was just the beginning of his allegations. Fleiss says Kaeppeler was the one who became violent during their argument, alleging that the former Miss America contestant attacked him after he took her phone away during the fight. According to court documents, Mike claims that Laura began “pounding on [him] with her fists, jumping on [his back,] and attacking [him] trying to get the phone back.” Fleiss confirms that the argument centered around Laura’s pregnancy. He alleges that the two of them had agreed not to have any more children, and she lied to him about being on birth control. He says he took her phone in order to see what else she might be lying to him about, and that’s when Laura became aggressive. In his filing, Fleiss included security cam footage which he says serves as evidence of Kaeppeler’s abusive tendencies. He also includes screenshots of text messages in which Laura allegedly confesses that her “judgment was seriously clouded and [she] was so desperate for a baby after having the miscarriage that [she] lost it and wasn’t thinking clearly.” Kaeppeler provided security cam footage of her own (The still below allegedly shows Fleiss striking her during an argument.), and she claimed in her filing that Fleiss has been using his wealth and power to manipulate her for years. “Mike has made many emotionally derogatory and demeaning comments designed to demonstrate his financial coercive control over me, such as repeatedly insinuating that he would destroy me with his wealth and power,” Laura wrote. “The continued verbal and emotional abuse have wreaked havoc on my self-esteem.” Both sides point to security cam footage from previous incidents to back up their claims. Kaui police have released few details about the case thus far, and they say their investigation into the matter is ongoing. For their part, execs at Warner Bros. — which produces The Bachelor and its spinoffs — say they are looking into the claims against Fleiss in their own independent investigation. We’ll have further updates on this developing story as more information becomes available. View Slideshow: 21 Celebrities Accused of Domestic Violence
Jenelle Evans chose her husband, David Eason, over the safety of her children, even after he brutally murdered their dog in front of them. One piece of good news is that Maryssa, Jace, Kaiser, and Ensley are not living on The Land right now. Another is that they hopefully won't be put back in harm's way — at least, not right now. Reports say that Jenelle Evans' custody battle could go on for months . That should at least buy the children some time. But Jenelle's (former) castmate, Briana DeJesus, thinks that it's wrong to keep the kids relatively safe. She thinks that they should be sent back to Jenelle's trauma factory of a house. Why? Because Briana believes that kids should stay with their moms — no matter what . 1. Briana is Team Jenelle! They’ve been friends for a while. Some friends would express concern about allegations that David has been abusing Jenelle and her children for years. 2. That’s right — the kids and dogs aren’t the only ones at risk Remember when Jenelle dialed 911 and described David assaulting her but later claimed that it was a misunderstanding? Sure, Jan. But Briana doesn’t seem too worried. 3. Even Briana hasn’t heard from her much lately She’s admitted that she hasn’t spoken to Jenelle regularly since David Eason’s brutal murder of Nugget. 4. That continued even after CPS came for the kids The court acted swiftly and in the best interests of the children by removing them from Jenelle and David’s house of horrors due to Jenelle’s “failure to protect” them. 5. Briana says she understands the unreturned texts “I haven’t spoken to Jenelle in a bit,” Briana admits to RadarOnline. “Due to the fact that she’s clearly tied up, dealing with a lot right now.” 6. Then Briana throws her support behind Jenelle “With that being said,” Briana announces. “I believe all kids should be with their moms, especially the younger ones.” View Slideshow
We can’t believe this has to be said in the year 2019, but thankfully Kaitlyn Bristowe is here to help us say it. Is everyone listening closely? Do you need to turn off any music or any podcasts and really focus here? Okay, go right ahead. We’ll give you a moment to do so… All good? All set to hear this apparently breaking piece of news? Here it is: Women are free to consensually have sex with anyone they please. SHOCKING, right? Sadly, the answer seems to be yes to a handful of critics out there; most notably the one in particular who has dominated this season of The Bachelorette. Over the past couple weeks, villiainous suitor Luke Parker has been outspoken about his disdain for Hannah getting close to other men on the show. Emotionally? Yes, sure. But physically? Absolutely. On a recent Bachelorette episode , Luke scolded Hannah for taking off her shirt while bungee-jumping with Garrett, saying to his possible wife-to-be: “Your body is a temple and honestly I’m just thinking of you holding him, bare-skinned and I’m just thinking in my mind… it just pissed me off, it really frustrated me.” This was only Luke’s opinion on the show itself, but Hannah has sadly been slut/sex-shamed to such a degree that she was forced to make the following statement last month: I refuse to not stand in the sun. I refuse to feel shame. I refuse to believe the lies and evil that flood my comments. 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. The amount of hate I and the men on this journey with me receive…it’s chilling to know so many people want to spread hurt so recklessly. We all fall short of the glory of God…we just happen to do it on national television. Perhaps she can now be comforted by the knowledge that she doesn’t need to fight this battle on her own.

Sometimes regrets are life lessons, which result in self compassion and growth.” This topic has surfaced once again because a promo for next week’s episode of The Bachelorette features Hannah truly telling Luke off, once and for all.
