Jessa Duggar BLASTED By Mom-Shamers: Stop Depriving Your Kids!

The Duggars hold many, many controversial views. In fact, there are times when it seems that all the family does is make babies and create mini-scandals by sharing their ultra-conservative beliefs with their increasingly befuddled fan base. Some of these beliefs align with evangelical views found elsewhere in the American South and Midwest, such as the view that women should cover themselves up at all times , lest they inspire impure thoughts in the helpless men who cross their paths. (For those of you who haven’t already raced down to the comments to tear us a new one, we were being sarcastic, and that’s a completely bonkers belief for anyone to hold.) But some of the more ridiculous views can only be found in Duggar Land — and many of them have to do with child-rearing. The women of the Duggar clan are subjected to near-constant mom-shaming, but no one gets the full brunt of the internet’s wrath quite like Jessa Duggar. Jessa has been accused of endangering her son’s life for failing to provide “proper” protection from the sun. She’s taken flak for her kids’ potty-training, home-schooling, attire, and probably for the way that they breathe in and out. The situation has gotten so bad that the mother of three has apparently given up, and we now see Jessa baiting mom-shamers for fun . Sadly, that tactic doesn’t seem to have sent the trolls scurrying back under the bridges from whence they came. Jessa welcomed her first daughter in May, and as expected, the mom-shaming has been cranked up to 11. Jessa posted the above photo of little Ivy earlier this week, and at this point, it’s like playing a Where’s Waldo game — see if you can spot the cause of outrage! Give up? Well, this is was kind of a trick question, as there are two distinct factions here who are pissed at two different things. On the one side, we have people who are angry that Ivy doesn’t spend more time with a pacifier in her mouth: “I pretty much only give her a pacifier for car rides, so she’s not super good at taking it— but every time it goes in her mouth, she puts both little fists up on her cheeks like this” Jessa captioned the pic. “It’s actually good for babies to have pacifiers that young,” one “fan” responded , according to In Touch . “It’s a SIDS preventative.” “I was told the same [thing] by multiple doctors and nurses,” another remarked. In the other camp, we have the haters who believe Jessa is doing her kid a great disservice in the wardrobe department: “She’s cute but probably REALLY HOT with that huge thing in her head,” one person wrote. “Why do you not use pink on her? I think she looks pretty [anyway] but never see her with anything pink” another remarked. Apparently, this “Ivy doesn’t wear enough pink” thing is a commonly-held viewpoint. “I’m dying to see sweet Ivy in PINK!!!” another fan commented. Yes, there’s a whole contingent of fans out there who are dying to see some Pink Ivy, which is … strange. We’re accustomed to a LOT of weirdness from Duggar obsessives. But they might have just taken their insanity to weird new heights. View Slideshow: Ivy Jane Seewald: See ALL Her Precious Photos!

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.

Diminutive Bagel Shop Patron Goes on Tirade Against Women

It's time to move over, Florida Man . You must now officially make room for Long Island Man. Or, to be more precise we suppose, you must make room for Short Long Island Man, based on a hilarious/disturbing new video that has gone very viral in a very short period of time. In a video posted to Twitter this week, a woman is heard at the Bagel Boss shop in Bay Shore, New York, asking a middle-aged man wearing running shoes, shorts and a striped polo shirt why he thinks it's acceptable to “degrade women.” We don't know the circumstances that prompted this question… only that it led to an epic tirade in response. “Degrade – why is it okay for women to say, 'Oh you’re five feet on dating sites, you should be dead,'” the man fires back as he hurls a newspaper he was holding to the floor. “That's okay?” Wait, what, the woman responds? No one at the store said anything like that. “Women in general have said it on dating sites. You think I'm making that sh-t up,” the patron screams back while throwing his arms in the air. “Everywhere I go I get the same f-cking smirk with the biting lip.” This is actually pretty sad. The poor guy clearly has understandable self-esteem issues… which is not an excuse for the way he acted here. But it's still something everyone viewing the footage ought to consider. Another customer then interjects, telling the man to “calm down.” But this has the opposite effect. “Shut your mouth. You're not God or my father or my boss,” he yells. When another customer also tells the man to chill out, his anger only reaches a new level. “Dude you want to step outside? You want to step outside? Huh? I'm not scare of you, pal.” The third time, however, is NOT the charm for this guy. After telling yet another patron to also “shut up” and challenging him to a fight, the bitter dating site user gets tackled to the grond. Hard. As you might expect, and mostly understand, the Internet is having a field day with this video. To wit: But we sort of have two different reactions: FIRST, imagine if this were an overweight woman, responding in sadness and anger over how she is looked at by men. We somehow doubt folks would be mocking her in the same way. SECOND, couldn't you see this guy going on some sort of shooting spree in the near future? Based on the domestic violence history of nearly all mass shooters, toxic masculinity is to blame for this epidemic as much as any other societal issue. The guy already felt snubbed by the opposite sex. Now, he probably feels like the laughing stock of pretty much everyone out there. It's scary to consider. Check out the footage here and draw your own conclusion.

Say Hello To The Smaller, Cheaper, Handheld Focused Nintendo Switch Lite

Source: Nintendo / Nintendo of America Rumors have been swirling for months about Nintendo dropping a new Switch model , today (July 10) the company finally unveiled a new cheaper, smaller unit the Nintendo Switch Lite and despite being a scaled-down version of the original, it still offers almost the same functionality of its predecessor. The new leaner but still meaner Nintendo Switch Lite arrives September 20 and will only cost you $199, a whole $100 cheaper than the original. It will feature a 5.5-inch screen a slight downgrade from the Switch’s 6.2-inch display but will still run games at a resolution of 720p. The Switch Lite is pure handheld mode ditching the hybrid ability to connect with your TV via the dock, so think it of it as a better 3DS model. Also gone are the removable Joy-Cons, rumble feature, and IR motion sensors. Don’t fret though, you can still connect a Joy-Con to the Lite as well as the pro Switch controller as well as the Switch Pro Controller, and the Poké Ball Plus. There might be issues playing Switch titles like Pokémon Let’s Go or 1-2 Switch that requires motion controls. Another glaring omission is the four directional buttons which have now been switched out with a traditional D-Pad. Nintendo says if you do try to buy a game that is not compatible with the lite from the E-Shop, you will get a warning before you confirm your purchase. Like its predecessor, the Nintendo Switch Lite comes in different colors a yellow, turquoise, gray model. A limited-edition Pokemon-themed design will launch alongside Pokemon Sword but will not feature the game in a bundle strangely. While it has not been confirmed by Nintendo, there have been rumblings of an “enhanced” version of the Switch coming for more passionate gamers. The chatter for that console hasn’t been as loud as it was for the Lite, but we won’t be shocked if it indeed is true. You can get a glimpse of the console in action in the announcement video below. — Photo: Nintendo/Nintendo of America

Petition To Get A$AP Rocky Out Of Swedish Prison Hits 350K Signatures In 1 Day #JusticeForRocky

Source: David Wolff – Patrick / Getty A$AP Rocky and his ongoing ordeal in Sweden has sparked the creation of a petition to hopefully spring the rapper from a reportedly poorly-kept prison. So far, the petition has over 370,000 signatures and counting, all in hopes that it gets the attention of officials in the European nation. From the Change.org petition: Upon being detained, Rocky was denied his request to counsel which is in violation of Article 36 of the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations, to which Sweden is a signatory. Everyone has the same rights to be treated fairly upon detainment and should be given fair and equal access to such rights. Since, he has been allowed to visit with a U.S. Embassy Consult and attorney, but only in the presence of Swedish officials. It is extremely troubling and worrisome that the laws are not being applied equally in these circumstances. On Monday, July 8th, we filed an appeal with the Swedish Supreme Court to have Rocky released from the inhumane conditions and the clear violation of human rights. They rejected the filing, which means Rocky will remain in prison for two weeks. The conditions of the facility are horrific. Some of the inhumane conditions Rocky and his colleagues are facing at the Stockholm Detention Center include 24/7 solitary confinement, restriction of amenities for the most basic of human functions, access to palatable and life sustaining food as well as unsanitary conditions. According to the petition description, Rocky could face an additional two weeks in the prison according to the prosecutor’s wishes to extend the trial until August.

Fedora’d Failure: Joe Budden Tried To Defend A$AP Rocky From Old Comments And Is Getting DESTROYED By Everyone

Source: VH1 / VH1 Joe Budden loves drama almost as much as he loves (at the very least) cursing at and about any woman who he disagrees with. A couple of nights ago, Crissles of the popular podcast The Read, posted this quote from A$AP Rocky a few years ago in which he basically disregarded the Black Lives Matter movement. I thought of this when I heard about ASAP Rocky's situation in Sweden. pic.twitter.com/Ji8dIdUZKh — jeremy bearimy (@crissles) July 9, 2019 Of course all of that is quite the irony because he is now being detained unjustly in Sweden. While the world is trying to fight for his freedom that old quote only comes off as more toxic and ignorant than ever. That’s where Joe Budden comes in. The failed rapper turned reality star turned podcast host took Crissles tweet to heart and had this to say. so this why Crissle dragging Joe Budden btw. pic.twitter.com/N5g4lYnicR — Denzel. (@fauxdenzel) July 10, 2019 Twitter was NOT playing with that man and saw this as yet another opportunity to drag his a$$ all the way across the internet. It got ugly for Joe very quickly. Take a look… Joe Budden beat up his ex-girlfriend until she miscarried. Is this a good day to bring that up again or nah? — Zerlina Maxwell (@ZerlinaMaxwell) July 10, 2019

‘Basketball Wives’ Recap: The Family Malaysia Continues With Dramatics

Follow this link:

Source: Robin L Marshall / Getty Basketball Wives picks up right from the fall out of OG blowing up Kristen’s spot about Kristen and her husband not being real Scotts. Kristen calls her man to tell him how she’s going to beat up CeCe and OG (as if anyone is actually afraid of her). CeCe tells OG that she didn’t have to weaponize sensitive information that was revealed in private. Then CeCe starts crying and talking about how she didn’t mean for things to go this way. Trying to play innocent when this is probably what her inner thoughts look like:  Shaunie, Malaysia, Evelyn, and Feby are just looking at OG like… They really don’t like her anyway, so they’re making it a point to tell her how dead wrong she is, yatta yatta. But they’re also giving CeCe the side eye because she’s the one who put the battery in OG’s back by talking trash about Kristen and their family to her. Obviously, the family drama is deep. Malaysia probably didn’t really know what she was getting into bringing them on the show. You know how you have relatives that you’re cool with but you might not see or talk to that often, so you don’t always know what’s going on with them? That’s what this kind of seems like. So, bringing them on Basketball Wives might not have been such a good idea after all. No one wins when the family feuds.  Sorry, couldn’t resist.  Tami meets up with OG and Jackie another day and is on OG’s side. So, when Jackie is trying to explain what happened and how OG is wrong, Tami pushes back. This causes them to go back and forth, and Jackie gets really pissed when Tami calls her fake. Tami’s thing is that Jackie has been involved in lots of they petty mean girl stuff so why is she trying to chastise OG now?  Later on, Tami kicks it with Jackie, Shaunie, and OG and once again, they talk about the drama. Now it’s Shaunie’s turn to tell OG how wrong she was and that she comes off as too aggressive sometimes. But wait, has Shaunie ever called any of the other wild cassowaries on this show aggressive? Tami used to bully newbies all the time and Shaunie would stand off to the side with that smirk on her face. Or how about Evelyn, running across tables to fight people? Did Shaunie ever chastise any of them? Anyway, OG owns up to being wrong about revealing that information, which she is, but she said she’s backing off and plans to work on herself. The good news is that Jackie and Tami work things out but Tami still doesn’t like how everyone has been treating OG so she’s going to have a brunch where everyone can come and discuss. Because that’s going to go well.  Part of why Tami seems to have such a soft spot for OG is that she feels like OG is a target and that she can relate. In Tami’s mind, she has also been ganged up on and have had these women say mean things about her. Kind of true, but also kind of not. There have been mean things said about Tami by women she was beefing with at the moment, but no one ganged up on her (because they’re scared), and it’s not like Tami was ever innocent.  Anyway, Tami starts the talk. We get to a point where Kristen and OG are going back and forth, as expected.  Kristen says that OG felt the need to say what she said to be hurtful. That is true, but OG denies this. OG says she got the info from CeCe and Byron while at dinner with them and that Byron told her that people know this information (uh, yeah, close family) and that it would be totally fine if she ever had to pass that information on to anyone else.  Anyway, Kristen asks OG why she has a problem with her. OG says she doesn’t have a problem with Kristen but that Kristen has a problem with her , and now everyone is either like wtf or just looking at her all kinds of sideways (or both).  Neither Kristen nor OG is actually wrong. They respectively have a problem with each other. Anyway, Malaysia tells Cece that she felt that CeCe was talking trash about Kristen to OG so that OG would do what she did. CeCe denies this. Then Kristen asks CeCe how she would feel if Byon’s children didn’t show up to the wedding. CeCe says she doesn’t care. She only cares about Byron and this is the last time Kristen is going to see her. Yeah, this brunch wasn’t productive. So now Malaysia feels like she has to go to Byron himself.  Malaysia confronts Byon and tells him everything that happened. He said he did give that information to CeCe and OG, but it’s not like it’s a secret secret , even though only a few select people know. Malaysia asks if he told OG to run back and tell everyone, which is not quite what OG said he said, but mmmkay. Anyway, he denies this. He also says he knows CeCe isn’t innocent in this, but that she was tired of getting attacked, which is valid. Then she asks about his beef with Kristen. He repeats that he’s mad at Kristen for making him look like a bad grandfather and that’s why he said what he said. Lordt.  Messy. Boots.  Nothing gets resolved this episode so come back next week for more.  RELATED POSTS ‘Basketball Wives’ Recap: OG Gets In The Middle Of CeCe And Kristen’s Drama ‘Basketball Wives’ Recap: Jennifer Uses Her Mother’s Death As A Crutch For Her Behavior
