Source: Emma McIntyre / Getty Shawne Merriman Sued For Wrongful Death Of Playboy Employee The parents of Kimberly Fattorini believe that former NFL player Shawne Merriman spike their daughter’s drink which ultimately resulted in her death. According to NYDailyNews , Fattorini’s parents filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Merriman last week. Kimberly died at a friend’s LA apartment in July 2017 after taking what the coroner says was a lethal combination of alcohol, cocaine, and the date rape drug called GHB. “I realize the (parents) must be suffering greatly, but (I) do not have any idea why they are defaming me by making false accusations in the press and in public pleadings and causing me economic harm,” Merriman wrote in a statement filed Tuesday in his related bankruptcy case. “I realize the (parents) must be suffering greatly, but (I) do not have any idea why they are defaming me by making false accusations in the press and in public pleadings and causing me economic harm,” Merriman wrote in a statement filed Tuesday in his related bankruptcy case. “Until the tragic death of Kimberly Fattorini made the newspaper, I was a sports commentator on a variety of television shows. I was also a motivational speaker, especially addressing the topic of overcoming adversity,” he said in the new statement. Merriman looks EXTRA funny in the light because he filed for bankruptcy late last year and now it kinda looks like he did it to keep ol’ girl’s parents from doing just this. Merriman told a judge that this was NOT the case, but still…

https://drunkenstepfather.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Heidi-Montag-Ass-Hump-1.mp4 If I was to describe social media to some one, it would probably include a line about how it’s a place for women to demonstrate humping the air and pretend that it is for fitness, so that you don’t need to leave your house and go to a gym to get your fix, you can get it at the comfort of your own home, cuz we are all about an inch deep and require really basic sparkling things to keep us entertained….we don’t need produced TV, or talking, we just need a bitch famous from being on produced TV and talking to hump the fucking air, the way she got pregnant, with her bolt ons standing straight up….

Kyle Richards may go on epic Twitter tirades against Lisa Vanderpump , but she’ll always be there to support her sister, Kim. It’s no secret that Kim has struggled in the past with substance abuse. Now, Kyle is reportedly begging her sister to seek help again before it’s too late. Us Weekly reports that Kyle is worried sick about Kim given what she’s learned this summer. “Kyle became aware that Kim was struggling in recent weeks,” the insider reports. “And,” the source adds, Kyle “got extremely concerned based on what she was hearing.” One can only imagine the specifics that she may have heard about Kim. But reports say that Kim isn’t “doing well” and that Kyle is now fully aware of that. “Kyle isn’t a doctor,” the insider points out. “And,” the source continues, when it comes to Kim’s health, Kyle alone “can’t make that determination.” “Which is why,” the insider explains. “She is trying to get Kim into treatment.” Of course. Professionals would be equipped to evaluate how Kim is really doing and to set up the right programs for her. Kyle just hopes that she can persuade Kim to take that important step. Kyle and Kim aren’t quite joined at the hip. The report reminds fans that the sisters have been “living their own lives for some time now.” That is generally very healthy! Despite their independence, the two are said to be on “good terms” with one another. That’s reassuring — especially if it makes Kim more predisposed to heed Kyle’s advice. “t’s going to be an ongoing conversation,” the source characterizes. So not one big dramatic intervention or what have you, but a series of gentle questions and talks. “But the good news,” the insider reveals. “Is that Kim is being extremely receptive to Kyle.” That is an absolute relief. The source affirms that Kim is “recognizing she is coming from a place of love.” That matters so much when it comes to accepting advice and accepting help on your health journey. The hard truth is that part of what made Kim such a source of entertainment as a reality star was her bad behavior. A portion of that bad behavior has been attributed to her substance abuse issues. Even sober, one’s struggle to remain so can alter their behavior. You know how, when you’re hungry, you can eventually become hangry because you’re so impatient for food? For some people who struggle with substances, they lash out angrily when they are sober because they have a similar craving. Kyle has done so much for Kim. Some longtime fans of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills have accused her of having a martyr complex and taking care of Kim to show how nice she is. But she really does care about her sister. We don’t know exactly what’s going on with Kim these days, but we wish both Richards sisters the absolute best. The news that Kim is reportedly receptive to Kyle’s words and concerns is extremely promising. Best wishes to them both!

Even though Amber Portwood was arrested for domestic violence charges last month, she still enjoys a wealth of support, especially from her current and former Teen Mom Og co-stars. It's more than a little weird, as Amber stands accused of attacking Andrew Glennon with a machete while he was holding the her 1-year-old son, but hey — pretty much everything about the Teen Mom universe is weird as hell at this point. In fact, we reached the point where we thought nothing about this cast could surprise us. Until we learned that Amber and Farrah Abraham have become breast-baring besties. You can't make this stuff up, folks. Take a look: 1. The Throwdown It wasn’t all that long ago that Amber and Farrah nearly came to blows while shooting a Teen Mom OG reunion special. 2. Settling Their Differences But perhaps it should come as no surprise that Amber and Farrah have been able to find common ground. After all, they have an awful lot in common beyond the fact that they were both OG teen moms on Teen Mom OG. 3. In the Same League Both are thought to be the very worst moms to be featured on Teen Mom OG, and many believe they’re up there with Jenelle Evans in terms of the worst moms of the entire franchise. 4. Somehow … Of course, Farrah has never lost custody of her kid, so we guess Amber just took the lead in that competition. 5. Hard Times Yes, as you may have heard, Amber has lost custody of baby James following her attack on Andrew. 6. Sad Stuff In fact, a judge has ordered her to keep her distance from Andrew, and she’s only allowed to see James during supervised visits. View Slideshow
Todd Chrisley and his wife are ready to face the legal music. But will it result in them being entirely played off the celebrity stage? That’s the oddly-phrased question, folks. As previously detailed, Todd and Julie Chrisley were indicted yesterday on 12 counts of tax evasion and financial fraud, foremost among them: Wire fraud… conspiracy to commit bank fraud … and conspiracy to defraud the United States. Yikes , huh? The couple has been at the forefront of Chrisley Knows Best for seven seasons on USA Network. The series chronicles the rich and spoiled lives of Todd, Julie and their three children, all of whom are from Atlanta but now reside in Nashville. According to Radar Online, executives have chosen NOT to renew the contracts of these family members in the wake of this arrest, effectively canceling the series. But Todd and Julie obviously have far more important concerns at the moment. The reality stars have turned themselves into authorities, CNN confirms, and are currently in custody in Georgia. The couple surrendered early Wednesday morning, a spokesman for the attorney’s office tells CNN and TMZ, and are scheduled to attend a bond hearing later this afternoon. As for other pertinent details from this troubling case? The Chrisleys were hit with the multi-count indictment on Tuesday, alleging years of tax evasion, bank fraud, wire fraud and conspiracy between 2007 and 2012. The federal goverment claims the stars ran a scheme in which they swindled banks out of millions of dollars in loans by providing phony information, while also effing over the public in genderal by dodging federal taxes on the money they earned. Their accountant was indicted as well. If convicted on all counts, Todd and Julie could face 30 years in prison. “Todd and Julie Chrisley are charged not only with defrauding a number of banks by fraudulently obtaining millions of dollars in loans, but also with allegedly cheating taxpayers by actively evading paying federal taxes on the money they earned,” said U.S. Attorney Byung J. Pak, adding: “Celebrities face the same justice that everyone does. These are serious federal charges and they will have their day in court.” But Todd, who has supposedly sold his mansion out of desperation , sounds confident a convinction will never take place. Before the indictment was issued on Tuesday, he denied the allegations in a lenghty post on Instagram, implying the charges are based on evidence presented to investigators by a disgruntled former employee. Wrote Chrisley in his open letter: “I’ve never talked about this publicly before, but there’s been a cloud hanging over Julie and me and our entire family for the past seven years. It all started back in 2012, when we discovered that a trusted employee of ours had been stealing from us big time.” He went on to claim this was an act of revenge, explaining that this employee created “phony documents,” forged his signature and issuing threats to other employees related to the show if anything got out about his doings. Sounds like quite the vengeful and thought-out act, huh? If you believe it. “We even discovered that he illegally bugged our house,” Chrisley says. “I’m telling you all this because we have nothing to hide and have done nothing to be ashamed of. Not only do we know we’ve done nothing to be ashamed of. “Not only do we know we’ve done nothing wrong, but we’ve got a ton of hard evidence and a bunch of corroborating witnesses that prove it.” Todd concluded the post by asking for everyone’s prayers for he and his family. “We want to express our gratitude to everyone who helped place us where we are today in our lives. We thank you for your support and we will continue to work every day to earn your respect, loyalty and admiration.” View Slideshow: Savannah Chrisley: The Most Gorgeous Photos of USA’s Brightest Young Star!
Believe it or not, it's been three months since Jenelle Evans was fired from Teen Mom 2 . For many fans, the reality that Evans is no longer a part of the show will only dawn on them when a new season premieres with Jade Cline in her place . But it seems that for Jenelle, the truth of her sad situation is already hitting home. The bad news is, she still appears to have several revenue streams available to her. The good news is, they're drying up rapidly. Take a look: 1. Sponsored Content Jenelle has hawked just about every type of product imaginable on her Instagram page. And she’s grown increasingly desperate since getting fired. 2. Clickbait Evans’ most lucrative hustle these days is posting clickbait tabloid articles about her former castmates. 3. Mouths to Feed We guess it’s not entirely Jenelle’s fault. After all, she has kids to raise and an unemployed husband. What’s she supposed to do, get a real job? Make David go to work?! 4. Editor’s Note: (Before you go roasting us in the comments section, please note that we’re being sarcastic. Jenelle and David should both get real jobs ASAP.) 5. The Clock Is Ticking Yes, the stakes are high, and the window of opportunity is narrow. Sure, right now Jenelle has a big enough social media following that she can rake in the bucks from sponsored posts — but that might not be the case for long. 6. Irons In the Fire To her credit, Evans seems to realize this, which is why she and David are launching businesses like it’s going out of style these days. View Slideshow
