Sugar Bear: Angry Yet Horny After Mediation with June Shannon

Mike “Sugar Bear” Thompson might not be the star of From Not to Hot , but he's sure getting some screen time.  OBut on tonight's episode, his last mediation with Mama June left him so angry that his new wife encouraged him to calm down. He had his own idea for how to blow off steam … and it involves his wife, Jennifer, and their shared bedroom. That's right, folks. Sugar Bear wants to bang out his frustrations. From Not to Hot is about more than just June Shannon's insane weight loss and total makeover. It's about her life and her family's life. And that includes her ex-husband, Sugar Bear. In tonight's episode, he is fuming about his latest interaction with the From Not to Hot star. “In mediation, I knew June was trying to push my buttons,” he tells the confessional. Nobody can push your buttons like family, folks. Especially an ex. “And one of these days,” he says. “I'm afraid I might just blow up again.” June Shannon accuses him of domestic violence , so that's … not a reassuring thing to hear. The on-camere conversation between Sugar Bear and his wife, Jennifer Lamb, begins on a much more playful subject. Sugar Bear wants to go to bed, and he does not wish to sleep. Jennifer quickly understand what has him all riled up. “You're just frustrated because of what happened at mediation.” And she knows how he processes that. “More than anything, you just take it out in the bedroom and then you sleep.” Jennifer cautions him against letting his anger get the best of him. “If you let this anger out in front of people, like lawyers and judges, that's what June wants.” Really, he should be processing his anger in a healthy way, regardless. “When they see that, there is no way Mike they will let you see your daughter by yourself.” And really, should any child's safety be risked around someone with anger management issues? The answer is, categorically, no. “You got to be the calm, Mike, and not the blowed up Incredible Hulk person.” That is a truly incredible line. Imagine Chris Hemsworth delivering that line to Mark Ruffalo in Thor: Ragnarok instead of parodying the ridiculous “sun's going down” line from Age of Ultron . Of course, in this same episode, Jennifer White confesses that she has some reservations about Sugar Bear seeing Alana in the first place. “I can't help thinking that Alana might not be Mike's.” A DNA test was brought up when Sugar Bear complained that June Shannon was keeping his daughter from him . But Jennifer's right — it could backfire. “I know I would love Mike's child just like I love mine, but that lawyer said something that keeps sticking in my mind.” She has some definite opinions on how to respond to the test. “If it turns out that Alana's not his, June Shannon would be out of my life forever. I sure in the hell ain't paying child support for a kid that’s not Mike's.” And Jennifer believes that she has good reason to doubt Alana's paternity. “When he was with June, he was working a lot of nights. I wanna do a DNA test.” And you can see that clip below. In the end, though, Jennifer suggests a “healthy” stress-relief technique: throwing cinderblocks at photos of June Shannon (We don't know how common it is for someone to have cinder blocks on hand, but apparently Mike's issue is that he doesn't have any photos of his ex) We're not necessarily saying that it's the healthiest way to process things, but … it's better than actual violence against a person. Progress?

Yikes: #LHHMIA’s Gunplay’s Ex-Skripper Bae Sues Over Alleged Cranium Collision

NEW YORK, NY – AUGUST 10: Rapper Gunplay promotes debut full-length “Living Legend” at Music Choice on August 10, 2015 in New York City. (Photo by Donna Ward/Getty Images) Gunplay Sued For Head Butting Ex-GF On New Years Day? The ex-girlfriend of one of LHHMIA’s stars is really upset her former lover allegedly attacked her on January 1, and now she wants to hit his pockets. The woman, Aneka Johnston says she dated Gunplay from 2010-2012 and during that time he was known to be a menace, according to The Blast . Now the woman is suing him over one blow out fight they had at her recent skrip club gig. She says that Gunplay and his now girlfriend, who is also on the show Keyara, came up to her job and Gunplay attacked her after provoking an argument over old relationship issues. During the fight, she says Gunplay head butted her. OUCH! She reportedly claims injuries to her head, face and eye in the suit. Her attorney,   Mark DiCowden’s, statement on the suit: Gunplay has a long history of committing violence and domestic abuse. He has made a living out of glorifying crime and harmful conduct on people, including women. Ms. Johnston was working and didn’t deserve to be attacked. She has previously been a victim of Gunplay’s domestic violence and ended her relationship with him years ago because of his ongoing abuse. Gunplay’s celebrity status does not allow him to act above the law.  No amount of fame or fortune justifies Gunplay’s shameful and outrageous conduct. This lawsuit will send Gunplay a message and deter his misbehavior in the future. We will seek punitive damages against him as allowed by Florida law. The incident allegedly happened at 3am, after the woman’s shift.  Reportedly, cops have already closed their part of the investigation and referred Johnston to to the Florida State Attorney’s office to pursue charges of misdemeanor battery. Dayumm.

‘RHOAS10’ Recap: The Group Drops The Drama To Shoot Kenya Moore’s Domestic Violence PSA

See the original post:

Source: Prince Williams / Getty Real Housewives of Atlanta is back from break! Kenya is preparing to shoot her domestic violence PSA and she taps the other women, including Shamea, to be part of it. Marlo reveals to Nene that she’s having a tea party in the Hamptons (the Atlanta version, aka Marlo Hampton’s house) and invites Porsha and Cynthia because in her mind this is where Nene and Porsha are finally going to make peace. Nene is not thrilled, of course, but we’re probably being set up for another dramaful meet up. via GIPHY Kandi’s restaurant, Old Lady Gang, is flourishing, but it’s a new business so it’s not without issues. That becomes really clear when the actual old lady gang (Kandi’s mom and aunts) show up to tell Kandi and Todd that they need to make some changes with the hostess set up, how the cooks are dressed, general staff uniforms, and with finding a new general manager. Kandi’s aunts did work in the food industry so there’s validity to their concerns. Kandi and Todd understand there’s always room for improvement so they get to it. You know Kandi doesn’t play when it comes to her business. Now it’s time for Marlo’ s tea party of four. Cynthia and Porsha arrive first and things start off without tension. Cynthia and Marlo feel like since they’ve had experience with falling out with Nene and then being friends with her again, that Porsha and Nene can make up too. Bless their hearts. via GIPHY Nene finally comes through, and it turns out their “tea” is actually vodka and cranberry. They’re seriously drinking this out of teacups, which is amusing, but it’s probably also necessary considering what’s about to come. Marlo jumpstarts the facilitation between  Porsha and Nene. Porsha states her version of the truth first, and Nene is sitting there looking like… via GIPHY Nene then speaks her side of the truth. Basically, both women are accusing each other of not really being a friend. This conversation obviously goes nowhere. The only conclusion they come to is that their friendship is dead and dassit. But at least they didn’t throw any glasses or fist fight. In conclusion, Marlo offers one statement, “Y’all are awful guests. I’m never inviting y’all over again.” Yeah, right, Marlo! via GIPHY The episode winds down on the day of Kenya’s domestic violence PSA shoot. The group really comes together for this. Cynthia’s mom, who experienced domestic violence when Cynthia was a baby, is even a participant, and there wasn’t a dry eye in the room after her testimony. Nene is also a victim of domestic violence and she kills her scene. Kandi delivers as well. She hasn’t experienced domestic violence but has friends and associates who have, and so she’s participating too. Sheree shows up late because she got into a car accident on the way there (she got rear-ended). She’s literally in tears from the pain (because the accident compounded a bulging disc in her back)–and still records her part like a G. That’s how serious this cause is for her. We joke about Sheree being messy, but this is admirable. Hopefully she took herself to a hospital afterward (seriously).  In the end, Kenya seems proud of her results and even more proud that these women came together peacefully for the greater good. This may have been one of the most beautiful moments in ‘RHOA’ history.

Blac Chyna: I Only Beat Up Rob Kardashian to Defend Myself!

Even though they never actually got married or owned much property together, Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna’s breakup has been anything but easy. There’s the custody dispute, plus lawsuits on both sides. Among other things, Rob Kardashian — with Kylie’s help — is suing Blac Chyna for her alleged violence against Rob. Well, Blac Chyna claims that she was only violent in self-defense, and wants the suit thrown out. Blac Chyna and Rob Kardashian both accuse each other of drug-fueled violence . Lovely. You know, if we believed classist stereotypes, we’d say that these antics sound like they’d be happening in a trailer park and not between millionaires in a southern California mansion. But domestic violence, accusations, and drugs don’t know any socio economic boundaries, folks. Rich people are just better at keeping it quiet. Usually . So, Blac Chyna is demanding $10 million from Rob Kardashian . Or, more accurately, from his family. Because we all know that Rob, though he’s a Kardashian, doesn’t exactly have the net worth of even the “poorest” of his sisters. In fact, Rob may be too broke to pay Blac Chyna . That gives the rest of the Kardashians some extra incentive to help out their brother. So,  Rob Kardashian accused Chyna of choking him with a phone charger cord and of beating him . According to court documents obtained by The Blast , the alleged fight happened at Kylie Jenner’s house ( a house, which Rob was renting) … and resulted in about $100,000 worth of damages. We’re talking about destroyed phone, a destroyed television, and damage to doors and walls … all allegedly caused by Blac Chyna. Now, just because Blac Chyna is 5-foot-2 doesn’t negate the possibility that she could commit domestic violence and property damage. The question is: did she do it? According to court documents viewed by RadarOnline , Blac Chyna doesn’t seem to be denying that she was in some way violent with Rob. (While not necessarily admitting to everything that Rob and Kylie accuse her of doing) Instead, she’s taking an affirmative defense — claiming that she only took action in order to defend herself. (And, according to the legal language of the suit, she may or may not have been taking action to defend someone else) Chyna is trying to dismiss the suit against her over this December 16th, 2016 incident.  Some might be eager to sit back and find entertainment in this situation. Neither Rob nor Chyna project a very likable image — especially in this context. Many believe that Chyna got pregnant on purpose to create a financial tie to a wealthy family. Many believe that Rob is gross, and his revenge porn attack against Chyna over the summer pretty much confirms that. So, if you can’t stand either of them, it’s easy to just look the other way and hope that they both ruin each other’s lives. Maybe you believe that it’s what they deserve. Even if you don’t feel sorry for Kylie for having been caught in the middle of whatever happened between this former couple (because honestly, what’s $100,000 to Kylie? Proportionately to her wealth, that’s a drop in the bucket), you should worry about this situation. Because, whether it was an accident or the result of a soap opera-style scheme, Blac Chyna and Rob had Dream together. That baby daughter is a true innocent, and can’t help but be caught in the middle as her parents go to war in the courtroom.

Exclusive: Glory Johnson Escapes Jail Time After Ignoring Plea Deal Terms

PHOENIX, AZ – JULY 18: Brittney Griner #42 of the Phoenix Mercury and Glory Johnson #25 of the Tulsa Shock run during a WNBA All-Star Cares event on July 18, 2014 at US Airways Center in Phoenix, Arizona.  (Photo by Barry Gossage/NBAE via Getty Images) Glory Johnson Accused Of Ignoring Terms Of Her Plea Deal For Fight With Brittney Griner The WNBA’s Glory Johnson is likely breathing a sigh of relief this weekend after she narrowly escaped jail for violating the terms of her plea deal for a fight with ex-Brittney Griner. Johnson was in an Arizona court Wednesday to face the judge after she skipped out on the court-ordered domestic violence prevention classes that she was supposed to complete as part of her plea deal for brawling with her now ex-wife Brittney Griner. Johnson pled guilty in 2015 to disorderly conduct (domestic violence) stemming from a brawl with her then fiance, Brittney Griner. Prosecutors agreed to dismiss her assault charge as part of a plea deal. UNCASVILLE, CT – JULY 27: Brittney Griner surprises Glory Johnson of the Western Conference All-Stars with cupcakes for her birthday after the 2013 Boost Mobile WNBA All-Star Game on July 27, 2013 at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut.  (Photo by Brian Babineau/NBAE via Getty Images) Under the deal, Johnson was ordered to pay a $236 fine and attend six months of domestic violence counseling. However, a judge found that Johnson ignored her sentence and he issued the warrant, according to court docs. However, at the hearing Wednesday, Johnson’s legal team provided proof that Johnson had indeed took the 26 week course, so prosecutors filed a motion that Johnson had indeed completed the domestic violence prevention classes. It wasn’t clear why Johnson decided not to attend the classes in the first place. We’ve reached out her lawyer for comment. Despite the brawl, Griner and Johnson married in 2015, but split up less than a year later. The pair share ear old twins Ava Simone and Solei Diem.
