It's been over a month since Amber Portwood was arrested on domestic violence charges . Given all that Andrew Glennon has endured thus far in the relationship, many Teen Mom OG fans assumed the couple would be back together by now. But that's not the case. In fact, it seems that both parties are gearing up for what promises to be a very ugly custody battle. For obvious reasons, Amber has taken most of the blame for the current state of affairs, but now, her supporters are accusing Andrew of capitalizing on her fragile mental state and tormenting her via Facebook. Take a look: 1. The Formerly Happy Family Amber and Andrew’s relationship has always been a tumultuous one. But we don’t think anyone expected the breakup to get THIS ugly! 2. Angry Amber As you’ve probably heard by now, Amber was arrested in July, after she allegedly attacked Glennon while he was holding the couple’s 1-year-old child. 3. Grisly Detail Amber reportedly went after Andrew with a machete and attempted to break the door down when he locked himself in a bedroom. 4. A Deeply Troubled Woman Glennon further alleges that Amber attempted suicide by swallowing a handful of Klonopin tablets, but regurgitated the pills when he called 911. 5. A Safer Space The couple separated following her arrest, and Glennon has been keeping his distance from Portwood. He currently has custody of the former couple’s 1-year-old son, James. 6. Playing Mind Games? Now, he’s being accused of tormenting Amber by flaunting his relationship with James on social media. View Slideshow
Jill Duggar is speaking out about something that was most likely an unpopular topic in the conservative Duggar household growing up. But, the Counting On star is encouraging women to leave their husbands… if he is abusive. While it seems like a pretty obvious solution, leaving an abusive relationship can be extremely hard. But Jill is here to let you know that it can be done. The 28-year-old recently revealed that her friend just got out of a life-threatening relationship with her spouse, and now she is advocating for all domestic violence victims . Jill was quick to act and immediately posted about the situation on her Instagram stories, sharing statistics and resources for all out there who need help. The series of photos read: “A friend of mine recently shared on social media her story as a victim of abuse,” she wrote. “Thankfuly, she is out of the harmful relationship alive.” “Did you know? 1 in 3 women and 1 in 4 men have experienced some form of physical violence by an intimate partner,” she added, and in some cases, they are not considered “domestic violence.” Jill then posted a screengrab from the Instagram account “Understanding the Narc” which offered a checklist to help people identify certain qualities in their partner, guiding them to whether or not he/she is a sociopath. While this may be reminding you of popular Hollywood thrillers, such as “Gone Girl”, this is real. This happens. And it is heartbreaking. Jill, fortunately, took this chance to directly address her followers, telling them, “Don’t turn a blind eye!” and “Support those who need help around you.” She continued to post statistics from the NCADV and phone numbers for victims to call, she even shared an article called, “Why Do Victims Stay?” In the article, the organization explains why many victims stay, one of the more popular reasons being that women from patriarchial faiths and families often stay due to outdated gender roles and not believing in divorce. Jill’s call to action may seem out of place, as her family members are firm nonbelievers of divorce and definitely have outdated ideas on gender roles . They also don’t believe in mental illnesses or personality disorders… instead of turning to therapy or medication, the Duggar clan relies on prayer and home remedies. But the fact that Jill is willing to recommend divorce and safety to women of violence is very telling. Perhaps, this Duggar is finally seeing the light of day ? To drive her point home and prove that she’s not that radical , Jill ended her photo chain with a Bible verse from Proverbs 24:11 which read: “Rescue those who are being taken away to death, hold back those who are stumbling to the slaughter.” National Domestic Violence Hotline can help victims, survivors of domestic violence.

According to a brand new report, congratulations may be in order for Jennifer Garner and Bradley Cooper. Because they’ve landed exciting new movie roles that may even spark some Academy Award speculation for both the actress and the actor? Nope: because they are allegedly expecting a baby… … with each other! This wild rumor may truly be nothing more than a wild rumor, but it still has grabbed our attention due to the mere possibility of Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Garner procreating. According to a website called Celebrity Hush, the superstars are “spending time together.” This site quotes the International Business Times, which writes: “Earlier this month, Garner was spotted stopping by at Cooper’s house in Los Angeles… the visit was a “secret date” [and] there [is] a “blossoming romance between the two.” An anonymous insider went on to tell this less-than-reliable outlet that “it would not be surprising if Garner and Cooper were finally taking their friendship to the next level.” As for the part about Garner being pregnant with Cooper’s baby? That’s simply mentioned in this so-called report. Not exactly a iron-clad evidence here that Jennifer and Bradley are any kind of item, let alone that they engaged in unprotected sex that will lead to the birth of a little boy or girl within the next nine months. But here’s the thing: Garner and Cooper starred together on the ABC drama Alias and remain friendly to this day. Cooper had been linked to fellow A Star is Born lead Lady Gaga , but she’s now dating some dude named Dan Horton . Garner, meanwhile, is officially divorced from Ben Affleck and rumored to be in a relationship with some civilian named John Miller . She also has three kids (Violet, Samuel, and Seraphina) and is 47 years old and it just feels like a stretch to think she would want to be a mother again at this point in her life. Do we know for a fact that she’s done having babies? No, of course not. Garner does seem to positively adore motherhood, having stepped largely away from Hollywood for many years to raise these children. She and Cooper also may not have planned on getting pregnant, but even celebrities can make mistakes, you know? Not that we’re claiming here that a baby in and of itself is ever a “mistake,” just that not all pregnancies are planned, that’s all. Anyway, the general point and the main takeaway is that we highly doubt Cooper and Garner are dating or having a child together and you should not believe everything you read on the Internet.
Our apologies, but there is no possible way we could calm down right now. Taylor Swift fans, who are the best detectives in the business, just shared a new theory with the world and honestly, it’s pretty convincing. The 29-year-old musician sparked engagement rumors with her notorious private BF (excuse me, fiance!!) Joe Alwyn while dropping details about her upcoming album, Lover . Swift chose to reveal some lyrics from a track with Vogue in her September cover story, which was released on Thursday, August 8, and swifties are losing it because they think she’s hinting at an engagement . The lyrics of question read: “My heart’s been borrowed and yours has been blue. All’s well that ends well to end up with you.” Any Pinterest user out there knows that this is a reference to the classic wedding tradition of wearing something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue. Fans immediately took to social media to converse over this newfound development. “my heart’s been borrowed and yours has been blue” is a reference to an engagement…. ya tuhanku…. TAYLOR SWIFT IS ENGAGED IM CRYING,” wrote one user. Another user said, “finding out @taylorswift13 is engaged is like finding out that i’m engaged too. sorry joe you get all of us too.” “SO IS TAYLOR ALISON SWIFT REALLY ENGAGED??” asked a third fan. And while the internet was busy entertaining the idea of Swift and Alwyn exchanging vows, Taylor subtly confirmed the accusations by “liking” some of the posts. “Wait…… my hearts been borrowed and yours has been blue….. something borrowed and something blue…. ma’am,” read a post that Taylor “liked” on Tumblr. Fans, of course, freaked out at Taylor’s gesture and began sharing screenshots of the image via Twitter. “Taylor Swift just casually confirmed she’s engaged to Joe Alwyn through a Tumblr,” another fan tweeted. The lovebirds, who are annoyingly successful at keeping their relationship on the DL , were first linked back in May 2017. And according to Us Weekly , Tay’s friends “are all talking about a proposal and how she really wants to marry Joe.” “Taylor really believes Joe is the one for her,” a second source previously dished. “She wants to get engaged to him. She just doesn’t feel as though she has to impress anyone at this point.” Joe and Taylor have yet to address these fan-based reports, but I suggest not getting too carried away at the prospect. I mean, if we had a nickel for every time Swifties theorized an engagement between the two , well we could probably pay for their wedding. Taylor’s 7th studio album Lover — and hopefully more clues! — will be available on August 23. View Slideshow: Joe Alwyn: 13 Things to Know About Taylor Swift’s New Squeeze
Source: Teresa Kroeger / Getty With Wendy Williams’ divorce in the works , the talk show legend shared that she and soon-to-be-ex Kevin Hunter did not have a prenup in place. During a recent episode of “Sway In The Morning,” the 55-year-old admitted she never had those papers drawn because she “didn’t think [her marriage] would end.” “That’s not sexy to introduce paperwork when you’re in love with somebody,” she said adding, “But as a grown person, I get with another grown person, and that grown person would also have a thriving career. I’d choose differently this time.” As PEOPLE pointed out , without a prenup, Hunter, who was also served as Williams’ longtime manager, could have access to her whopping $40 million net worth. In addition to spilling the tea about her divorce, Williams also dished on her dating life and what kind of man she needs in her life for the long-term. “As a grown person, I’d get with another grown person, and that grown person would have a thriving career. I would choose differently this time,” she said. “You know I am 55. I don’t want to be with someone who wants to be a rapper. you know what I mean. You might see me on a date with a 32-year old — please don’t mistake that for anything other than we are on a date. What I need is the comfort of a man who’s got his own and grown kids. I ain’t changing Pampers.” Take a look: As we previously reported , Williams filed for divorce in April. Clearly there are plenty of reasons for Williams to walk away from her marriage, which includes Hunter allegedly having a decade long affair with Hudson , perhaps even having a baby with her. That, and Williams has been battling with addiction issues , which Hunter’s alleged cheating may have caused her to spiral. Also, it was reported that Williams was allegedly rushed to the hospital in March of this year after hearing of Hudson and Hunter’s bundle of joy. That, and the 54-year-old’s popular talk show is on another hiatus . Then there were the allegations of physical abuse. This spring, sources told the New York Post in the past that employees claimed they heard the two fighting and that Williams would hide in her office to avoid seeing him. “She would hide in the bathroom and tell me to knock on the door when he left the office so she wouldn’t have to see him,” an intern told the newspaper. “You’d hear slaps or some type of tussling going on.” In the end, Williams just hopes that she and Hunter can be cordial to another for the sake of their 18-year-old son, Kevin Jr. “I want a divorce like yesterday, I want a divorce two months ago, three months ago. Whenever I found out, four months ago,” she stressed. “I want a divorce and I want to be friends with Kevin. I mean, and not because we have a son, but because that was real love. I still love him, just not in that way. You either in or you are out with me. I still have love for him, and I wish him the best in his new life with his new family.” RELATED NEWS: It Looks Like Wendy Williams Is Getting Her Groove Back With This Mystery Man Wendy Williams Is Living Her Best Life, Hung Out With Blac Chyna Last Night The Nerve!

Source: Kwanchai Lerttanapunyaporn / EyeEm / Getty A 19-year-old girl was killed by her brother for the most frivolous thing—a Wifi password. According to WSB-TV , in 2018 Kevon Watkins, who was 16 at the time, was charged with the death of Alexus Watkins when he strangled her after he was confronted for changing the password to the Wifi in his home. See, he was upset that too many people were using the network, which was slowing down his Xbox connection. Apparently, his mother tried to remove the Xbox from his room, but when his sister confronted him, he put her in a chokehold for 10 minutes, only letting go when the police arrived on the scene, according to witness testimony at his murder trial. Alexus was pronounced dead from asphyxiation at the Medical Center, Navicent Health, early the next morning. Earlier this week, Kevon was recently found guilty of felony murder and aggravated assault. He was spend the rest of his life in prison. Watkin’s lawyer asked for a bench trial, one where the judge makes the decision about the plantiff’s innocence, not a jury of one’s peers. Bibb County Superior Court Judge Verda Colvin told the court that she nixed manslaughter charges for felony murder because his brother tried to stop him and he kept choking his sister. “Even under the best estimation, by the time [a sheriff’s deputy] got there …. It had been at least 11 minutes that the defendant had to have been choking his sister,” Colvin said, adding, “In those 10 minutes, she had to have stopped moving. Perhaps that wasn’t noticed by the defendant because he was still angry.” Hearing sentence, Watkins and as he left the courtroom, he sobbed, muttering, “I’m sorry,” WSB noted.

Cohen / Getty When I interviewed Cynthia Bailey at the Radio One Raleigh Women’s Empowerment event in April, I asked her about her boyfriend Mike Hill and she blushed a little before gushing how they were just with each other the day before in LA. Her face lit up, this was undoubtedly a woman in love. A Real Housewives of Atlanta fan from Season One, I knew that Bailey was not the type to rush into marriage (or even really desire it); nevertheless, Mike Hill was undoubtedly about to change her mind. On stage I asked if she would ever marry Hill and she blushed and replied yes to the entire crowd oohing and ahhing.

It’s such a fun piece and I loved the sleeves, my dresses are petty long and flowy and it takes a confident woman to pull it off. She looked incredible.” Naturally, I went on the website to try and score this dress, only to discover it’s sold out and no longer on site. Beauties, never fear, Sankoh shared that it will be re-stocked in September. Source: http://www.saisankoh.com / Courtesy of Sai Sankoh From parousing the website, you see beautiful African-inspired pieces and Sankoh revealed, “All my prints are custom made and most of my pieces are made in India.” When you go on the website, each piece has a description of the type of woman that’s waring it. The above is called the Maldives Goddess Kaftan ($295.00, saisankoh.com ) and describes the woman buying the piece as “a traveler who spends six months out of the year visiting foreign destinations.” Sankoh stated, “I wanted to relate to every woman: the boss lady, the full time mother that needs a vacation, the single lady that wants to have a memorable night out in Miami. When my customers read the stories they always send me feedback, like, ‘Hey, I’m a doctor and I have been so busy and I needed this vacation, and this is totally about me.” It’s the beautiful detailing in the pieces and touches like this that make this brand special. Inclusivity within the brand doesn’t just stop at what type of woman you are; Sankoh makes sure that women of all sizes can shop as well, going up to a 3XL in certain styles. Sankoh explained, “I am naturally a curvy woman, meaning I have a butt, and I love to accentuate it. All that is required to wear my pieces is confidence, and I saw a big demand for curvy women wanting glamorous travel wear, and I needed to fulfill that.” The kaftans are truly one size fit all and look great on an array of body shapes and sizes. I’m so here for glamour resort wear and diverting from the typical looks that everyone else is shopping. Custom prints mean that you will have unique looks. While Cynthia’s dress is currently sold out, here are five of my favorite pieces from the site to shop. Let me know which ones are your favorite!
