Amber Portwood: Look! My Daughter Still Loves Me!

Amber Portwood is one-for-two at the moment. She has two kids, and she’s allowed to spend time with one of them without a court-mandated supervisor hanging around to make sure the child is safe. That’s better than being zero-for-two in this department, we suppose. The embattled Teen Mom OG star was arrested over a month ago and charged with three felonies. She’s accused of attacking boyfriend Andrew Glennon on the morning of July 5; first by hurling a shoe at his head and then, according to the police report, of using a machete to try and break into the couple’s bathroom. Glennon was hiding behind the door of this bathroom with the pair’s infant son, James, at the time. Andrew quickly filed for full custody of the 14-month old. At a subsequent hearing, a judge dismissed a no-contact order against Portwood that had been filed by his dad on behalf of James and said she was permitted to see her son… not not by herself. Amber is allowed, however, to spend unsupervised time with her 10-year old daughter, Leah.   And that’s where the two above photos come in, along with the following caption, written by Amber this past Saturday: “Just missing one beautiful man. However this beauty put a smile on my face as always.” It’s unclear just when Amber will get to see James next. Leah, though, lives with Portwood’s ex, Gary Shirley, and his wife. Despite a very contentious history between Amber and Gary (she was arrested of assaulting him as well, back in 2010), these two are now on such solid terms that Shirley recently Tweeted his support for Portwood . “All I could ask is for is @AmberLPortwood to be happy & healthy,” Shirley wrote late last month, prior to using this arrest scandal to promote a new episode of Teen Mom OG. He received some flak for doing so. The veteran MTV personality welcomed Leah in 2008. James then arrived in May of 2018, after which Portwood suffered from such a serious bout of postpartum depression that she says she once considered hanging herself. In the several months since, Portwood has been open about her mental health struggles — and Glennon has stood by his girlfriend the entire time. She has even credited him with saving her life on more than one occasion. So… what prompted this recent (alleged) attack? We can’t say for certain. And the answer may simply be that Amber is admittedly unstable. However, she has also implied in recent days that Glennon is a drunk driver who was also cheating on her . Would this excuse or justify her attack? No, of course not. But it  would give us at least some insight into what she may have been thinking at the time of the incident.

Gabe Brown and Raquell Rose: Expecting First Child!

Alaskan Bush People is about to add yet another person to its family. Another very small person, that is, at least initially. Gabe Brown and wife Raquell Rose have announced that they’re expecting their first-ever child, breaking this very exciting piece of news to People Magazine via the statement below. We’re so thrilled to share we’re expecting a new addition to our family this November. God has blessed us in so many ways and we can’t wait to meet our little one this fall. The couple did not reveal the gender of its impending little one, but did specify that he or she is due on November 10. Brown’s famous younger sister, Rain, couldn’t help but also make her feelings known, telling this same publication of her brother, her sister-in-law and her future niece or nephew: “Gabe and Raquell are both adventurous, kind souls and I know they will be amazing parents.” We learned late last year that Gabe and Raquel were engaged . They then went ahead and actually got married in January in the state of Washington. This joyous and exciting pregnancy confirmation, however, comes just over a month after the parents-to-be exchanged vows for the second time in an intimate ceremony with friends and family in June. They did so on the five-month anniversary of their first nuptials. Gabriel and Raquell’s baby will be the newest member of this famous and beloved family after Noah Brown and his wife Alisha welcomed their son Elijah Connor Brown back in February. (Noah is the youngest of Billy and Ami Brown’s kids and has starred on Alaskan Bush People fromm the very beginning of this reality series.) “He’s already working on his howl! Rhain is a wonderful mother already, I am truly in awe of her and we are both very grateful and excited to welcome him to our family,” Noah told People at the time of his son’s birth. Elsewhere… This bombshell arrives a couple days after Discovery Channel announced the return Alaskan Bush People, following some concern that the show might get canceked. The new season will focus on the family’s move from Alaska to Washington, along with the challenge of building quality homes for every kid before winter. The season will also chronicle the arrival of little Elijah, of course, as well as Ami’s recovery after surviving her battle with cancer. Alaskan Bush People: Season 10 Trailer, Premiere Date Revealed! “We’re back guys,” Billy says in the above trailer for the new episodes. “It’s really important each one of the guys, they have their houses finished before the snow locks us up.” “For all of us, it’s really important at this point in life to have our own piece of land. What we’re doing here is symbolizing the future of the Browns,” Joshua Brown adds. Alaskan Bush People returns Sunday, Augagst 4 at 9/8c on Discovery Channel. CONGRATS TO GABE BROWN AND RAQUELL ROSE!

#EricaThomas: Georgia Lawmaker Says Dusty Deplorable Told Her ‘Go Back Where You Came From’ During Grocery Store Incident

Source: Elijah Nouvelage/Getty Images Erica Thomas Confronts Man Who Verbally Assaulted Her In Grocery Store A black Georgia lawmaker who went viral after she tearfully recalled a racist incident at a local grocery store had a face off with the man who hurled insults her way. State rep. Erica Thomas who represents District 39, recorded an emotional Facebook Live video detailing an incident at a GA Publix where a white man called her “lazy” and a “son a b***” in front of her child and told her to “go back where she came from.” (Sound familiar? ) “This white man comes up to me and says, ‘You lazy son of [expletive]. You need to go back where you came from,’” said Thomas who noted that he was angry because she was in the Express lane at the grocery store but had 15 items in her cart. “Sir, you don’t even know me. I’m not lazy. I’m nine months pregnant.” We have a serious problem in this Country when @itsericathomas is subjected to racism in a Cobb County @Publix in front of her daughter. #gapol . #IStandwithErica thank you @RenittaShannon for alerting me and the @NAACPGA . #NoPlaceforHate . pic.twitter.com/hN5HDS4aG9 — Gerald A. Griggs (@AttorneyGriggs) July 20, 2019 Today I was verbally assaulted in the grocery store by a white man who told me I was a lazy SOB and to go back to where I came from bc I had to many items in the express lane. My husband wasn’t there to defend me because he is on Active Duty serving the country I came from USA! — Erica Thomas (@itsericathomas) July 20, 2019 Disgusting. That rancid racist whose been getting dragged to aisle 3 and dubbed “Publix Paul” has since come forward and identified himself as Eric Sparkes. In an email to WSBTV , Sparkes said Thomas was embellishing the incident for her political career and claimed that he’s previously encountered racism because of his Cuban heritage. “I NEVER ONCE TOLD HER TO BACK TO WHATEVER,” wrote Sparkes. “I am Cuban and have felt prejudice racism as a child. She assumes because I am white it’s about race. This woman is her own worst enemy…” Here is the email the customer accused of verbally harassing Representative Erica Thomas sent me after our report at 12. Our team met up with him that afternoon in what ended up being a heated confrontation between him and Thomas. That part of the story is ahead starting at 9. pic.twitter.com/Vre8jFH6U6 — Lauren Pozen WSB (@LaurenPozenWSB) July 21, 2019 Suuuure thing, sir. Later while Erica was interviewing with the local news about the situation, Sparkes showed up and an explosive showdown happened. Sparkes admitted that he called the pregnant woman a “SOB” but said she “lied’ about the “go back comment.” WSBTV was on hand for the incident: “I’m a liar about what?” Thomas asked Sparkes. “Everything that happened,” Sparkes said. “Me telling you to ‘Go back where you came from. Did I say that? Is it on video?” “Are you serious? What did you say to me then,” Thomas asked. “I called you a lazy (expletive),” Sparkes said to Thomas. “That’s the worst thing I said.” “Yeah, that makes you look better to say that,” Thomas said. So Eric Sparkes admits to approaching me and verbally assulting me in front of my 9 year and but not the rest of his statements. You sounds like a coward to me and that’s fine you will think twice before you berate any one again!You keep lying we have witnesses that will testify! pic.twitter.com/HRWTBZ89SC — Erica Thomas (@itsericathomas) July 21, 2019 Despite cries of a “hate hoax” on social media, Erica assured WSBTV that some sort of “go back” language was used and claims she has witnesses to back her up. “I don’t want to say he said, ‘Go back to your country,’ or ‘Go back to where you came from,’” Thomas said. “But he was making those types of references is what I remember.” […] “Of course you would deny those things. But the people in the store, you know we have witnesses that are willing to be a witness in court.”   We stand with Erica, it’s not hard to believe that an enraged Incel would mirror Cretin In Chief’s “go back” statements. Looks like Publix is gonna need a clean up on aisle 3, soon.

SMH: Police Officer Admits to Using Grieving Family’s Cable To Purchase Porn

Source: Hirurg / Getty Police Officer Admits to Using Grieving Family’s Cable Account to Purchase Porn According to CNN , a London police officer serving with London’s Metropolitan Police Service admitted to buying porn at the home of a grieving family. The family, who had been coping with the death of their child , was waiting on the undertaker to arrive when Avi Maharaj bought access to porn channels. Maharaj admitted to purchasing the movies, spending £25.96 (roughly $32). He was investigated after the grieving family filed a complaint with the Metropolitan Police Service. He was the only person at the property at the time of the purchases, and to cover his actions he falsified his attendance log. “PC Maharaj’s behaviour was shocking and even more so given he was guarding the property in the absence of the homeowner…Not only were his actions deceitful but he caused considerable distress for the family involved who were dealing with the sudden death of a family member,” s aid the Independent Police Complaints Commission’s regional director Sal Naseem in a statement.  Haharaj will be sentenced for fraud in August and will also face charges of gross misconduct.

Newborn Dies After Grandfather Gives Him Taste Of Alcohol At A Party

Family and friends of the baby were gathered to celebrate the infant’s one-month on earth. Reports say that when they proposed a toast, another relative dared the grandfather who was holding the baby to only take a sip of his drink after the baby did. When the mother found out he gave her child alcohol, she took the baby from the grandfather but the baby had already started struggling to breathe.   The 1-month-old was reportedly taken to a hospital where he later died.   Text “RICKEY” to 71007 to join the Rickey Smiley Morning Show mobile club for exclusive news.  ( Terms and conditions ).

Prince Harry & Prince William: Feuding Over How to Raise Archie?!

For months now, we’ve been hearing rumors about a feud between Prince William and Prince Harry . The causes for the alleged dispute vary wildly from one source to the next, but insiders seem to concur that there’s some bad blood between the two princes. Even outsiders can sense the friction, as William and Harry have been making fewer public appearances together, and they seem to have gone to great lengths to keep their distance from one another in private. Harry and wife Meghan Markle recently moved to Frogmore Cottage , nearly 20 miles from the home they once shared with William and Kate Middleton. Maybe Meg and Harry just wanted more privacy for their growing family. Or maybe the British tabloid media got it right for once, and there really is tension between the couples. Whatever the case, the hostility seemed to have eased a bit following the birth of Meghan and Harry’s first child, Archie . Now, however, Us Weekly is reporting that little Archie has actually reignited the feud between Harry and William. The thought of a British baby stirring up drama between two grown men by spreading gossip behind their backs is undeniably hilarious, but we regret to report that that’s not what happened. No, according to an insider who spoke with Us , Harry and Will are at odds over the proper way to raise a royal baby. As you may have heard, Harry and Meg have gone to great lengths to protect Archie’s privacy. They’ve even eschewed a royal title for the child so that he might live as “normal” a life as possible under the circumstances. According to the source, the couple “made the decision to have no live-in staff at Frogmore Cottage,” and they explain to curious parties that “it’s all part of wanting the most normal family environment for Archie.” And apparently, none of this sits well with Will. Maybe he feels such an upbringing is beneath a royal baby. Or perhaps he’s concerned that such austere measures will make his own kids look entitled by comparison Whatever the case, Will was reportedly pissed off by the decision to make Archie’s christening a press-free occasion. “The queen accepted Harry and Meghan’s decision to keep the event private,” says the insider, adding that William and Kate “weren’t happy about it. “William thinks his brother is going overboard keeping Archie out of the spotlight,” the informant says, noting thhe Harry’s older brother “blames Meghan”  And there it is. These stories always come around to someone blaming it all on Meghan. This one took some time, but it got there eventually. At this point there are three possible explanations for all this Meghan-blaming: 1. She messes up constantly. 2. The royals have ridiculously high standards, or  3. The tabloid media is awful and fabricates these reports on a daily basis. We’re guessing it’s a combo of 2 and 3 in at least 99 percent of cases.

Amber Portwood: Ordered to Stay Away from Baby Son, Boyfriend

Amber Portwood will be living a very lonely existence over the next several days, weeks and maybe even months. This, after a judge handed out a harsh — albeit understandable — ruling to conclude Portwood’s hearing on Wednesday, five days after she was arrested for felony domestic violence . According to court papers obtained from Marion County Superior Court in Indiana, Portwood has been charged with three felonies and a misdemeanor for her alleged attack against boyfriend Andrew Glennon. The first count of domestic battery is for ” knowingly touching Andrew Glennon, a family or household member in a rude, insolent or angry manner .” The second count, meanwhile, relates to the stunning news that Portwood is accused of attacking Glennon with a machete, which is a giant sword. Original reports had stated that Amber only stuck Glennon in the neck with a shoe during a dispute between the couple early last Friday morning — but  read down below for the latest on this ugly and violent confrontation. This update includes a description of the machete attack.. and also the way in which Portwood threatened to kill herself. View Slideshow: Amber Portwood Threatened Suicide, Attacked Boyfriend with a Machete: Report For this second felony count, the Teen Mom OG star was charged with criminal recklessness with a deadly weapon. “Struck the machete at and into a door, while Andrew Glennon was standing directly on the other side of the door, that created a substantial risk of bodily injury to Andrew Glennon ,” the court papers read.  For the third count of domestic battery, which is also a felony, we can now telay the following from the court: Portwood “ knowingly touched Andrew Glennon, a family or household member, in a rude, insolent, or angry manner and Amber L Portwood committed said offense in the presence of a child less than 16 years of age, knowing that the child was present and might be able to see or hear the offense .” Multiple outlets confirm that Glennon was holding the couple’s one-year old son in his arms at the time of this assault. He thought Amber might kill him . This all brings us back the loneliness cited above. The 29-year-old Teen Mom OG star was served with a no contact order in court on Wednesday, July 10. For the foreseeable future, she is not allowed to go near Glennon or baby James. Elsewhere, we can confirm that Portwood was accompanied by her mother, Tonya, her ex-fiancé, Gary Shirley, and his wife, Kristina, as she entered the building. She did not speak to reporters before or after this court appearance. Glennon, for his part, was asked by TMZ how he was holding up and simply replied: “I’ve seen better days.” This would appear to be an understatement. Based on a report by The Ashley’s Reality Roundup, which had access to the official legal affidavidt filed by police after they responded to a 911 text from Glennon on July 5, Amber and Andrew got into it because they had tried to take James to see July Fourth fireworks the night before. But there was too much traffic. It was determined they would miss the show and had to turn around — and Portwood blamed Glennon for the snafu. To be exact, Portwood was upset that Glennon “dropped the ball” on their plan to see these fireworks, The Ashley wrote this week. After dropping Amber off and giving her a chance to cool down, Andrew drove around for awhile with James in the car. When he got home, Amber reacted in angry fashion, allegedly hurling a shoe with a one-inch heel at her boyfriend … downing a bunch of pills before later throwing them back up… and slashing the bathroom door with a machete after Andrew locked himself in there with their son. Yikes , right? If this account is accurate, that is. Portwood went to jail in 2013 for also attacking then-boyfriend Gary Shirley, who is the father of her 10-year old daughter, Leah. She has a history of mental illness and even joked on this week’s episode of Teen Mom OG that she’s “f-cking nuts” and is prone to violent outbursts. She wasn’t really joking, of course. As detailed below, Glennon has filed for full custody of James: View Slideshow: Andrew Glennon Files for Full Custody of Amber Portwood’s Son

Amber Portwood is Innocent of Assault Charges (Her Brother Says)

Amber Portwood is being falsely accused of wielding a machete and slashing the bathroom door behind which her boyfriend and baby son were cowering. So claims someone very close to the disgraced Teen Mom OG cast member: Her very own brother. As you may have read by now, Portwood is in serious trouble with the law. The reality star was arrested very early on the morning  of July 5 after allegedly getting into a heated argument with live-in lover Andrew Glennon. According to what Glennon told the Indiana police, Portwood was set off after traffic caused her, Andrew and their child, James, to miss a July Fourth fireworks show. Amber reportedly blamed Glennon for this situation, eventually hurling a one-inch heeled shoe in his direction …  threatening to kill herself by taking a bunch of pills… and then grabbing the aforementioned sword and using it to try and break into the bathroom after Andrew locked himself inside there with James. Holy frickin cow, right?!? You can read more about the allegations here: View Slideshow: Amber Portwood Threatened Suicide, Attacked Boyfriend with a Machete: Report Portwood attended a court hearing on July 10 where she was hit with THREE felonies and also ordered to stay away from both Glennon and James . Will she go to prison? Will she be fired by MTV? Will she lose custody to Andrew, after he filed to permanently have the toddler under his supervision? These are the questions now being debated by celebrity gossip followers and Teen Mom OG viewers across the nation. But Shawn Portwood claims we all need to slowo our roll… because his sister did NOT do all the things of which she’s been accused. “Stay tuned for the surprise ending. Everything’s not always all it’s cracked up to be,” Portwood Tweeted late Tuesday evening. When one individual remarked how the surprise must be that she allegedly used a “flip flop and machete,” Shawn clapped right back. He remained adamant that his sister is mostly innocent. “That’s not true at all,” he wrote. “You guys are jumping to conclusions that based off of what one person is said. But there is evidence to prove that she did not do that.” This evidence, if it exists, has not yet been made public. On the flip side, police records indicate that a police officer on the scene at Andrew and Amber’s home last Friday took photos of the marks left on Andrew’s neck from shoe Portwood threw at home. These same records state that Amber has admitted to throwing the shoe, but told the cops it barely grazed her boyfriend. Amber went to jail in 2013 for assaulting ex-boyfriend Gary Shirley, a fact basically referenced by someone who responded to Shawn’s Tweet barrage. “What’s your evidence? Amber’s word? We all know she’s violent,” this person wrote to Shawn, who replied as follows: If all I had were Amber word I wouldn’t say nothing. I’m not saying I don’t trust her but I don’t go based off of word. I go based off of facts and evidence. And right now the evidence that I know of does not indicate anything about what was said she did. Intriguing, right? We’re not about to speculate too much here because this whole thing is too sensitive. There’s a one-year old child right smack dab in the middle it, let’s remember. We’ve been trying to stick solely thus far to what the police have said and what the legal system has ruled and we’ll continue to update fans on the status of Amber; her custody; and her freedom as news breaks.
