Robyn Brown: Ghosting Fellow Sister Wives as Feud Worsens?!

Recent reports have shocked Sister Wives fans to their cores. These days, Kody Brown seems to care about one woman , Robyn, to the detriment of his other wives.  Playing favorites is backfiring, because it’s resulted in new family tensions, and now Robyn is ghosting the rest of the family. Everyone was so proud when Aspyn Brown graduated from college . It’s a huge deal! But fans could not help but notice that Robyn Brown skipped out on the big family gathering. “Yesterday I graduated college,” Aspyn wrote on social media. “I want to say a big thank you to my parents,” she expressed. “For encouraging me to go and helping me to start.” “I am so grateful for my sweet friends and my amazing littles who I am so lucky to have,” Aspyn gushed. “And a huge thank you to Mitch,” Aspyn raved. “Who stuck it all out with my while plans changed.” Mitch is her husband, whom Aspyn married last year. “I love you all so much & am beyond grateful for your love,” she affirmed. “Thanks for all the wishes to my friends here as well,” Aspyn added, in a huge nod to her fansa nd followers. “Now,” she concluded. “Onto the next adventure.” That message was very sweet! But as fans looked through the photos from this major life milestone, they couldn’t help but notice that someone was missing. “Where is Robyn?” one fan asked in a comment. Another could resist commenting: “I see Robyn isn’t there.” Considering the recent reports of family tensions with Robyn at their center, of course they picked up on the conspicuous absence. Aspyn herself took to the comments in the hope of quashing these rumors. “She was really sad to miss it,” Aspyn said of Robyn. “But,’ she explained, Robyn “woke up feeling terrible.” “She celebrated with all of us later,” Aspyn assured her concerned fans and followers. On the one hand, illness can strike at any moment and deprive people of seeing joyful milestones. On the other, it would also make an easy excuse for Robyn’s absence if there is a lot more going on. Recent reports have described tensions in the Brown family. Yes, even more than usual. One sister wife in particular, Robyn, is at the center of it all. Why? Because, according to reports, Kody has been spending extra time with her, singling her out as his favorite. He even allegedly spent an entire week with her house as his “home base” ina  blatant display of favoritism. The Browns set out to do Sister Wives with the intention of showing the world that plural marriage isn’t scary. After all, most of the people arrested for “polygamy” have done actual bad things, like marrying children and not allowing anyone to leave. But “polygamy” is a more sensational label, so people harp on the number of wives and not that they tend to be aged 12-14 or whatever. So we understand where Kody and the sister wives were coming from, but that doesn’t make them the best family to reassure viewers. Kody rubs people the wrong way, for a host of reasons. And all of the family drama (like the appearance of playing “favorites”) that makes them entertaining reality fodder makes them terrible representatives of plural marriage. Or of any other polyamory, for that matter. View Slideshow: Kody Brown: Sorry, Sister Wives, I’m a One-Woman Man Now!

Vicki Gunvalson: Dropped From the Real Housewives of Orange County?

Is she a  Real Housewife or not? This is the burning question srrounding Orange County OG Vicki Gunvalson as we build up to the show’s 14th season. Since rumors of her demotion sprang up in February, Vicki’s been scrambling to show fans and producers alike that she’s relevant enough to remain a full cast member. Vicki’s engagement to Steve Lodge in April was her most recent attempt to offer up something, anything, for the series to use as a storyline. It seemed like the engagement was supposed to save Vicki’s role as a Full Housewife for season 14.  We can even imagine the eventual wedding being perfect fodder for season 15, with a scintillating divorce playing out across later seasons. Well played, Vicki. But if Vicki’s role is truly safe, why is she absent from the show’s promotional material? An inside source told Us Weekly that Vicki was excluded from the rest of the housewives’ group cast photos. “Last week, the RHOC cast shot their official photos for the next season,” the insider revealed. “Vicki was not included in the group cast photos and they shot multiple options,” the source continued. These annual group cast photos are the ones you’ll likely see over and over again throughout the season, wherever the series is advertised. So it’s a pretty big deal for the show’s longest-running cast member to be missing from the shot. If the photographers shot mutliple options for the group and didnt include Vicki in any of them, it seems clear that her ouster was intentional. Although she didn’t pose for the group photo, Vicki was present on the set during the photoshoot,  Us Weekly reports.  If she got called to the set, she’s almost sure to appear on the show in some capacity. But it’s looking more likely that she’ll have a reduced role, as fans have speculated Rumors began to surface in February that Vicki had been demoted to “Friend” of the Housewives , a more ancillary role with presumably less screen time.  It made sense. Vicki’s been on the show a long time after all, and the show needs to make room for new housewives, like this season’s Braunwyn Windham-Burke. Vicki also recently squashed her beef with castmates Tamra Judge and Shannon Beador, which is great for their personal lives, but not great for our entertainment. Shannon has her ongoing divorce drama with David Beador, and Tamra is the kind of walking nightmare that always gets great ratings, so they’re both easy picks to keep. Vicki was quick to dismiss the demotion rumors on Twitter, urging fans not to believe anything they didn’t hear straight from her.  Okay fine, but for her to still be in negotiations after the season had already started filming is a pretty good sign that her status was up in the air. Evidence of Vicki being put on the backburner has only piled up since then. Inside sources report she took a 50% pay cut for any potential episodes. And reports say she’s been a holy terror to her costars on set , in an attempt to amp up the drama (and her screen presence). We also know that Bravo’s cameras were present and rolling for Steve’s proposal to Vicki. So, even if she has been friend-zoned, we’re sure to get some juicy moments with Vicki Gunvalson this season. Reduced pay notwithstanding, would it really be so bad to be just a friend of the housewives? Well, with friends like these…. yeah, probably. But Vicki’s official status is still up in the air.  We’re sure all will be revealed when The Real Housewives of Orange County  returns this summer View Slideshow: Vicki Gunvalson: DEMOTED to “Friend” of the Real Housewives in Stunning Shakeup!

Joseph Duggar: Slammed For Turning Wife Kendra Into "Baby Machine"

Last month, the world learned that Kendra Caldwell is pregnant with her second child . Since Kendra is only 20, and her first child is yet to celebrate his first birthday, this came as quite a shock to many. But Kendra is officially a Duggar now, which means procreation is her primary reason for being. Even so, many fans can't help but wonder if this is the life that she would have chosen for herself, or if she's been pressured by her famous in-laws to spend the next 20 years cranking out offspring. Some even say Kendra's social media posts are showing signs of mental and emotional fatigue. Take a look and decide for yourself: 1. The Proud Parents They may look like they’re still children themselves, but Joseph and Kendra are parents to one baby, with a second on the way. 2. Baby Garrett Joseph and Kendra just welcomed their first child in 2018, but already, there’s another bun in the oven. 3. Moving Fast Needless to say, Kendra and Joseph are not wasting any time with regard to expanding their family. 4. Like, REALLY Fast As far as we can tell, Kendra got pregnant within days — or at most weeks — of tying the knot with Joseph. 5. Too Much, Too Soon? Recently, fans have begun expressing concern for Kendra’s physical, emotional, and mental well-being. 6. Cause For Concern? But are they legitimately worried, or are they just disparaging the Duggar way of life? View Slideshow

Game of Thrones: 19 Lingering Questions from That Finale

Game of Thrones may have sky-rocketed to global popularity due in part to its penchant for blood, gore, sex, violence and suspense. But the biggest surprise of the Game of Thrones finale may have been how the writers tossed all these aspects of the series aside and instead focused on… … a lot of very boring talking. That was our main takeaway from a pretty awful final episode. We explained why we believed this to be the case HERE , but now we're back with a different take on Season 8 Episode 6. We're here to ask a handful of questions about what we just witnessed, from character motivations to confusing plot points and everything in between… 1. That’s All It Took to Kill Cersei and Jaime? A single layer of bricks? Sort of seems like they could have recovered from that sort of blow — or moved a few feet to the left and have avoided the entire avalanche! 2. What Happened After Jon Killed Dany? Just literally: What happened? Drogon (more on him momentarily) flew away with Dany’s corpse… so did Jon confess to the Unsullied? Did they find him crying over what he had just done? Did he run out and confess? How the heck did the show decide NOT to include this very practical and necessary detail? 3. And Then What Happened? Greyworm almost killed Jon for touching his arm and trying to stop him from killing Cersei’s soldiers early in the episode. In what universe do the Unsullied not kill Jon the nanosecond they learn he’s murdered their queen? 4. Instead, They… … contact the Lords and Ladies of Westeros and ask them to pay King’s Landing a visit after they decide to simply imprison Jon for his Queen killing?!?!? 5. Did Drogon think the Pointy Chair killed His Mom? Or Was He Keenly Aware of the Dangers of a Monarchy and Just Really Adept at Identifying Physical Symbolism? Gotta be one or the other, right? 6. Why the Eff Did Anyone Listen to Tyrion? The guy just spent the past several months strongly advocating to Dany; to such an extent that he basically sentenced his best friend to death because Varys disagreed. And now everyone is just totally on board with his Bran-for-King recommendation? Could Tyrion possibly just be a bad judge of character? View Slideshow
