On Tuesday (April 2), the actress took to social media to pay tribute to the love of her life and the father of her two-year-old son Kross. I am completely lost,” London wrote via Instagram. Adding, “I’ve lost my best friend My sanctuary My protector My soul…. I’m lost without you We are lost without you babe I have no words.” View this post on Instagram I am completely lost I’ve lost my best friend My sanctuary My protector My soul…. I’m lost without you We are lost without you babe I have no words A post shared by Lauren London (@laurenlondon) on Apr 2, 2019 at 4:58pm PDT The couple had been together since 2013, meeting via Instagram through one of Lauren’s male friends. As we previously reported , Hussle, whose real name Ermias Asghedom, was pronounced dead at a Los Angeles-area hospital on Sunday (March 31), after being shot six times in the head and chest in front of his clothing company, the Marathon Store. LAPD announced on Tuesday that they caught Eric Holder, the suspect they believe is responsible for the 33-year-old’s murder. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department revealed that the 29-year-old was caught by deputies sometime before 1:30 p.m. Prior to his death, the Grammy-nominated rapper Hussle had been a staple in his Crenshaw community, buying up store fronts to revitalize the area and provide a much-needed economic boost in the area. He was also known to help promote STEM among young Black girls, help the homeless and others in the neighborhood. Sending Lauren all the love and light right now. Let’s make sure we hold her and her children up in our prayers tonight. RELATED NEWS: At Last!

In addition to Kulture’s mom, Meg Thee Stallion will also be performing, as well as Juice WRLD, Jorja Smith, and yes, Bustdown papi Blueface. If we’re being totally honest, we’re weirded out to see Kodak Black on the roster ( after he so blatantly harassed Young M.A. last month , not to mention the fact that he is awaiting trial after being indicted on criminal sexual conduct due to an alleged victim’s rape accusations). Do we not want to see Kodak get the help he needs before giving him full access to thousands of young women at a two-day fest? But we digress. Besides giving many of your faves the opportunity to show up, show out, and expand their fanbase, Made In America is also about charity work. “While MIA is known for its star-studded line-up and dazzling performances, Roc Nation has always made it a priority to give back to the community during that weekend.

For years now, Jinger Duggar has been considered the resident rebel of the Duggar family. Now obviously, the Duggars have a very different standard for what’s considered rebellious behavior. Jinger never took up smoking or went through a goth phase, but nevertheless, insiders say her parents were quite chagrined by her actions. Shortly after marrying Jeremy Vuolo, Jinger started wearing pants in violation of her family’s strict dress code. (Jim Bob and Michelle dictate what sort of clothing their daughters are allowed to wear until such time as that responsibility gets passed on to the girls’ husbands.) Then she further alienated her parents by waiting a full year after her wedding to get pregnant, which led to rumors that Jinger was using birth control — a major no-no in the Duggars’ world. (It’s customary for Duggar couples to start families as soon as possible after marriage.) Fans of Counting On know that Jim Bob was skeptical of Jeremy from the start due to some crucial theological differences and the fact that he and Jinger planned to relocate to Laredo, Texas after tying the knot. But there were rumors that tensions between Jeremy, Jinger, and her parents had eased a bit after the Vuolos welcomed a child. Now, however, the situation has reportedly deteriorated yet again. The Vuolos recently revealed that they’re moving to Los Angeles — a development that Jinger’s ultra-conservative parents are understandably not pleased with. “In recent days, God has made it overwhelmingly clear to us that he is leading us out of Laredo,” the couple wrote on their blog last week. “Through much prayer and counsel, the next step for our family is to relocate to Los Angeles to attend Grace Community Church as Jeremy pursues graduate studies at The Master’s Seminary. “Leaving Laredo this July will be one of the hardest things we’ve ever done; our friends here have become like family,” Jinger and Jeremy concluded. Jinger’s parents were reportedly shocked by the news, and it’s been widely rumored that they found out about it the same way as the rest of us — through the Vuolos’ blog. Insiders say this added insult to injury, and the situation has resulted in rumors that Jinger’s parents have gone so far as to disown her . There’s little in the way of evidence to this effect, but the rumor has gained traction in the Duggar-themed message boards of Reddit, largely due to Jim Bob and Michelle’s failure to comment publicly on the Vuolos’ move west. Obviously, if it is the case that Jinger’s parents have cut ties with her, the entire family will go to great lengths to keep the situation under wraps. That’s just the standard Duggar response to any scandal. And unfortunately, the distance between the two families will make it easier to do so. In fact, we may have to wait until the next major holiday to gauge whether or not there’s any bad blood between Jinger and her ultra-strict parents. But the truth is sure to come out eventually.

The 90 Day Fiance fandom has been discussing Ashley Martson’s health a lot this year. After two major hospitalizations, that makes sense. But some so-called fans don’t believe the evidence. They say that she is faking her ongoing battle with lupus. Now, Ashley’s mother is speaking out about how unfairly her daughter has been treated by fans — and by producers. An Instagram user named @cindygarney is claiming to be Ashley Martson’s mom in a series of comments captured by SoapDirt . She has had it up to here with the public thrashing that her daughter has received among some members of the fandom. “I am Ashley’s MOTHER!” Cindy’s post begins. She suggests: “Maybe you should be patient and watch the upcoming season [of 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After ].” “You will feel pretty sorry for such harsh comments,” she warns. Fans say that they have received mixed messages about Ashley’s lupus. “Stories may have been inconsistent due to contacts and someone posting on her behalf too quickly,” Cindy suggests. She adds: “I have never commented on anything” “But,” Cindy writes. “I’m sick of seeing her being [dragged] through the mud.” Cindy notes: “I am the one who sits by her side while she suffers.” For the record, it is extremely clear that Ashley’s lupus is the real deal. We all wish that it were not. “You have no idea the hurt you cause her by stating she is faking her illness,” Cindy warns. Famously, and despite how shockingly little they are paid, 90 Day Fiance stars are under strict contracts to not discuss behind-the-scenes details. “I’m not under contract,” Cindy notes. “So I’m gonna say my side.” “I’m not gonna argue with anyone,” she adds. “I’m just stating my side in defense of my daughter,” Fans seem impatient for more information about Ashley and Jay’s life. Cindy reminds them that new episodes are just weeks away — the new season of 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After? premieres on April 28. “I think everyone needs to sit tight,” Cindy advises. She then reports that producers had filmed a lot about Ashley’s health battle, but that those segments never made it to air on Season 6. “They did a whole story the first season and then didn’t share it,” she accuses. “Which I don’t feel was fair.” “The show talked non stop about another cast member who had a visible illness,” Cindy laments. “And completely edited Ashley’s out.” “Just because Ashley doesn’t look visibly ill 24/7 doesn’t mean she isn’t,” Cindy notes. Lupus doesn’t cover you in boils or make you look like a lich. It ravages your internal organs and threatens your life. “For them to film her while very sick and not air it to me was very wrong,” Cindy expresses. She adds that viewers may see a lot more of that, writing: “Let’s hope all the time it was filmed this coming season is shown.” Ashley and Jay did become embattled by a fraud scandal earlier this year. An account that had “leaked” some private photos turned out to be under Jay’s control, and Ashley knew about it. “I have never ever commented before,” Cindy writes. “But,” she says. “I just feel like you shouldn’t immediately judge her because of a fake account was revealed.” She does acknowledge that it was “wrong” and notes that she “doesn’t defend” it. We were all disappointed at Ashley’s fraud scandal. Nobody likes to feel bamboozled. But accusing Ashley of faking her lupus, when she went to great lengths to prove it, is simply not okay. TLC knows that she has it — they sent flowers to her hospital room. And no, they don’t let you borrow a hospital room to fake an illness for your Instagram followers. We don’t blame Ashley’s mother — if Cindy is the real deal — for speaking out. Seeing all of the hate must be so hard for her.
