Bill Cosby Sex Tape: It’s Real and Even More Vile Than You Think

Late last year, Playboy ‘s controversial founder Hugh Hefner passed away at 91 . Part of his legacy could include, somewhere, a record of the crimes of the world’s most infamous octegenerian: Bill Cosby. One of Cosby’s accusers says that he assaulted her at the Playboy Mansion — and that Hefner had video evidence of the encounter. The Daily Mail reports that Bill Cosby is in even more legal trouble, which is saying a lot. The disgraced former comedian is already behind bars for one assault. That was a criminal trial and sentence. Attorneys for Chloe Goins say that they are going after Cosby in a civil case — with evidence to back it up. Spencer Kuvin, an attorney based in Florida, has countless hours of recordings from the late Hefner’s home. They say that they have unearthed a sex tape that is evidence that Chloe was assaulted by Cosby at the Playboy Mansion. Chloe Goins says that Bill Cosby sexually assaulted her in 2008. She would have been 18 years old at the time. She says that, at that Playboy Mansion, Cosby gave her a drink. When she awoke, she says that Cosby had his pants down around his ankles. He was allegedly biting her toes, which … if it were possible for this sexual assault story to get creepier, would make it creepier. And apparently it’s on tape. Kuvin says the videos that he has obtained so far appear to have been professionally edited and produced, and feature multiple celebrities. The understanding is that Hefner had cameras everywhere in his mansion to record various sex acts at parties. (Yes, that is absolutely creepy to do if people aren’t all aware that they’re being filmed, even if it’s in your own home) But to produce the hundreds of hours of professional footage, Kuvin reasons that there must be more footage that was edited out. Kuvin is now seeking to have the raw CCTV footage turned over so that his team can pour over them. But … there’s a catch. See, Hugh Hefner allegedly had a personal stash of these “home movies.” It is rumored that this stash was dumped into the ocean, in accordance with his wishes, upon his death last year. If so, it is possible that much of the original material — or potentially incriminating videos — were destroyed. Hefner and Cosby were friends for many years, so some wonder if Hefner might have made sure that his tapes couldn’t be used against his friend. Others hope that copies exist, on the proverbial cutting room floor, that could be used to help Goins and others in their civil suit. All in all, Kavin is representing more than 30 women in a civil case against Bill Cosby. Even if Kavin succeeds in obtaining raw footage, it’s unclear how many women may be on the tape. Cosby worked hard for many years to maintain his image as a lovable family man, for his brand and to hide his true nature. There are only so many acts he could have performed at parties over the years without more rumors about him swirling about. Most of his accusers describe assaults that took place in private, often between colleagues. So we won’t hold our breath for dozens of Cosby sex tapes. Still, if Kavin can help Chloe Goins obtain a little justice for what happened to her when she was a teen, that has to mean something. View Slideshow: Bill Cosby: A Look at His Life Behind Bars

Duggar Family on Caleb Williams Sex Scandal: We Don’t Care!

As you may have heard, the Duggar family is embroiled in yet another sex scandal. This one involves Jana Duggar’s rumored ex-boyfriend Caleb Williams. It remains unclear if there was ever any romantic connection between Jana and Caleb , but we do know that Williams is a longtime family friend of the Duggars. Earlier this week, a source informed The Hollywood Gossip that Williams was arrested for having sex with a minor . In the days since, Caleb’s mug shot and arrest records have confirmed that he is indeed awaiting trial for aggravated sex with a minor. Criminal records indicate that Caleb was taken into custody for “placing his finger and his penis inside of a minor who was between the ages of 13 to 17.” His trial is set to begin in January. The last Duggar sex scandal almost brought down the family’s multi-million dollar media empire. And since Jim Bob and Michelle have 19 kids, some of whom have children of their own, and most of whom have never held down a real job, that would have been disastrous for the family’s finances. So you would think the Duggars would do everything in their power to distance themselves from Caleb right now. But it seems they don’t see his current scandal as any big deal. “The Duggars of all people know what it’s like to be reamed by the media,” a source close to the family tells Radar Online. “To them it’s just another day and another story.” Yes, the Duggars apparently don’t see what all the fuss is about — even though Caleb is about to go on trial for aggravated sex with a minor. “The Duggars are not judgmental people,” the source explained. “They know because of Josh how easy it is to make a mistake.” Sources say the Duggars are standing by the Williams, even though Caleb’s brother Jacob was recently arrested for child abuse. “Duggar family better check their little ones,” our source told us earlier this week. “This is a dangerous fella. Williams are trying their best to cover it up.” But despite how much they have to lose and the serious nature of the allegations, it seems the Duggars once again are not prioritizing their children’s safety.

Michelle Duggar Weight Loss: Shocking Pics Worry Fans

The Duggar family is in Central America, getting dragged for being nuts . But that’s not what has the attention of fans. Followers of the infamous family have noticed that Michelle looks very different. Has she lost weight — or is she, as some fans fear, severely ill? The Duggars have been posting photos from their trip down south. Michelle’s face has looked noticeably different — more so than some added tanning could explain. This has some fans and followers worried. “Michelle looks sickly skinny,” observed one concerned commenter. Others were less concerned. “Michelle looks like she has lost quite a bit of weight,” another commenter observed. That same commenter continued: “Good for her. Wish I could.” Another followed up with a comment: “I agree.” This same person admitted: “I didn’t realize it was Michelle at first.” When people’s appearances change suddenly, it can be jarring for fans who only see them in social media posts. “You can see in her face she lost weight,” that person concluded. “She looks great!” Other fans were more direct with their praise. “Holy cow,” wrote yet another commenter. “Michelle looks amazing!” Several years ago, Michelle spoke out about body image. While she’s not going to win any feminist-of-the-year awards, she made some solid points. “We’re always going to find somebody skinnier than we are, somebody bigger than we are,” Michelle noted. For all but two people on the planet, she was exactly right. “Every girl struggles with, ‘Oh, I wish I looked like that or I wish my hair was like that,’” she admitted. “We go back to the point of who you are and how God made you,” she said. “You’re not your sister.” For Michelle, it’s all viewed through the lens of her faith: “It’s all about being who God wants YOU to be.” Of course, the Duggar family isn’t the kind who purposefully show off their post-baby bodies . At least, that’s not how Michelle raised them to be. “Our interpretation [of modesty is] that from the neck down to the knee should be covered,” Michelle has explained. “By keeping those private areas covered,” she claimed. “There’s not any ‘defrauding’ going on.” That’s an extremely silly word choice, which she explains. “My kids are taught the definition of defrauding as stirring up desires that cannot be righteously fulfilled,” Michelle said. Absurd. Other people’s desires are their business and no one else’s.  She concluded: “We don’t believe in defrauding others by the way we dress.” Michelle’s beyond-questionable ideas about whether women are sorceresses who can entrace men with their sin-curves aside … … Her words about respecting your body for its appearance were pretty wise. She frames her version of body positivity through her specific religious beliefs, of course, but that is perfectly okay. So, is Michelle deliberately making an effort to lose weight now that she’s no longer a baby-factory? Is she under the weather and losing weight because of that? Sometimes, that happens on vacations. But sometimes people just drop a lot of water weight when they’re abroad, especially if they are spending a lot of time in warm temperatures. Maybe Michelle will explain. But if she doesn’t, that’s fine. She may believe that her body is her husband’s property, but in reality, her body is her business and hers alone.

Joy-Anna Duggar FINALLY Addresses Pregnancy Rumors!

It’s been less than a year since Joy-Anna Duggar welcomed her first child , but fans are convinced she already has another bun in the oven. Adding to the speculation is the fact that for months, there was no official response to the Joy-Anny pregnancy rumors . Joy didn’t respond herself, and no one in her family had anything to say. It was one of those situations in which many felt that Joy’s silence spoke volumes. Surely, if she wasn’t actually pregnant, she would just speak up and set the record straight, right? Well, not necessarily. The Duggars generally keep mum on these types of rumors for a number of reasons. For one thing, they tend to favor a “don’t feed the trolls” approach to coping with internet rumors and criticism. On top of that, such rumors can be good for ratings — particularly when they help to create an aura of mystery. So that may be why Joy has yet to issue a statement on whether or not she’s pregnant: As it is, fans may have to wait until the next new episode of Counting On to find out if she has any big news. Rather than clearing the air with a definitive statement, Joy has further piqued fans’ curiosity with this photo: What exactly is going on here? Well, that’s a surprisingly difficult question to answer. We know that this pic was taken at the Duggars’ annual ugly Christmas sweater party. But fans aren’t all that interested in Joy and Austin Forsyth’s garish patterns — instead, they want to know what’s going on underneath those sweaters. Clearly, Austin is rocking some extra padding for the sake of comedy, but it’s a little less clear what’s happening with Joy. Some fans think they detect a baby bump. Others feel that those fans are falling victim to an optical illusion or being overly critical of a new mother’s body. A third group thinks that both Joy and Austin are sporting fake bellies beneath their ugly sweaters. (We feel compelled to point out that their sweaters aren’t actually ugly, but in the context of an ugly sweater party, that might actually constitute a compliment.) We can’t say for sure, but we’re guessing Joy is loving the confusion. She may not be as rebellious as Jinger or revel in taking down online haters like Jessa, but Joy has a mischievous streak in her. We’re guessing she knew that this pic would create a world of confusion. And we’re guessing that’s exactly why she posed for it.

John-David Duggar and Abbie Grace Burnett: MARRIED!

John-David Duggar and Abbie Burnett have finally gotten fo first base. And now they’re prepared to go all the way… … as husband and wife! The couple, who started courting in June and announced their engagement a month later, went ahead and got married on Saturday, November 3. They confirmed the exciting news to Us Weekly via a statement that reads: “We are so excited to be married! “It was a beautiful moment and we so appreciate our friends and family for sharing this day with us. Most of all we are thankful to Christ for bringing us together.  “This is going to be an amazing journey!” The Duggar family also made the nuptials public by writing a post titled “Husband and Wife!” on its official blog that includes this passage: “We are overjoyed for the two of them to begin their married life together.  We know the Lord has brought them together and will use them to reach many people. “We are so happy to be surrounded by family and friends and we thank you all for your prayers and support for John and Abbie.” Many members of his famous family were afraid that John-David would never find a mate, but he seemed VERY into Abbie as soon as the pair made their relationship romantic. We often heard the two were breaking Duggar courtship rules on the reg, snuggling and even kissing in public. They just couldn’t keep their hands off each other , according to various reports. Touching of pretty much any kind before marriage is forbidden by Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar. Now, however, nothing is off limits. We’d have to imagine John-David and Abbie took full advantage of their new status on their wedding night, as they addded a section of their own in the aforementioned blog post. “We are so excited to be married!” it reads. “It was a beautiful moment and we so appreciate our friends and family for sharing this day with us. “Most of all we are thankful to Christ for bringing us together. This is going to be an amazing journey!” This bride and groom knew of each other for several years before they started courting, although Burnett said over the summer that she “really got connected” to Duggar when the TLC personality visited her native Oklahoma for a church event. Abbie lives there and works there as a nurse. In a network-sponsored video, meanwhile, Duggar and Burnett explained that they “fell in love very quickly,” saying together after agreeing to marry in July: Wow! We are engaged! This feels even more real than before! It was a special moment to share together. The proposal and the ‘YES’ really solidified that we want to spend the rest of our lives together. One of the most amazing things about following Christ is being able to trust Him to direct your path and lead your life. We are so thankful that He led us to one another. And now He has led them into marriage. In June, as you likely know, another Counting On family member, Joshiah Duggar, married Lauren Swanson in Siloam Springs, Arkansas. For more details on Duggar and Burnett’s big day, fans will be able can get a first look of the ceremony on November 20 on TLC GO. And they can also tune in November 27 at 10/9c to see the wedding special on TLC. Congrats to the newlyweds!

Duggar Kids: Who’s the Biggest Rebel Against Jim Bob’s Ridiculous Rules?

When the Duggars rose to fame in the early 2000s, audiences were drawn to their reality shows primarily because Jim Bob and Michelle had already sired a massive brood, and they seemed to have no plans to put the breeding on hold anytime soon. As time went on, however, viewers realized that their fertility was not the most unusual thing about the Duggars. Instead, it was the family's bonkers belief system that made for such compelling viewing. From courtship rules to insanely strict dress codes, the Duggars controlled every aspect of their kids' lives, and it was only a matter of time before said offspring started to rebel. Take a look: 1. Josiah Can’t Be Tamed First, there’s Josiah Duggar. Sure, he recently settled down and got married, but we’re guessing his days as the main cause of Jim Bob’s migraines are far from over. 2. Heartbreaker Josiah is unique among his siblings in that he was involved in a different courtship BEFORE he met his wife. 3. The Mystery Deepens There’s still no word on what caused Josiah and Marjorie to call off their courtship — a move that’s almost unprecedented in Duggar Land. Scandalous! 4. Still Rebelling After his relationship with Marjorie ended, Josiah continued to maintain an Instagram account in direct defiance of his parents’ rules. 5. What Courtship Rules? He and Lauren Swanson also held hands, front-hugged and went on un-chaperoned dates before they were married. Someone arrest this man! 6. Four Can Play at That Game! But no one tossed the courtship rules right out the window quite like John David Duggar and his fiance Abbie Burnett. View Slideshow

Jinger Duggar Shows Off Adorable Mother-Daughter Twinning Photo

Jinger Duggar has been treating Counting On fans to photos of her adorable little family . Now, she and husband Jeremy Vuolo are sharing a new photo. In it, she’s twinning with her 3-month old baby, Felicity. “Like mother, like daughter,” Jinger captioned the photo that you’re about to see. In it, the 24-year-old Duggar daughter is wearing a floral headband. Baby Felicity is wearing a matching headband — it’s just a smaller version for her tiny baby head. While they’re not otherwise in matching outfits, we think that it still counts as twinning. (Seriously, finding a baby outfit that matches adult clothing can be tricky) Besides, the picture is just too cute. This mother-daughter photo is so cute! This is the time of year for dressing up in a lot more than headbands, but the Duggar family does not celebrate Halloween. Michelle Duggar expressed her strong views in a blog post in 2011. “While we do go to pumpkin patches and corn mazes,” Michelle wrote. “We don’t do the Halloween thing.” You miss out on a lot of fun and a lot of culture when you grow up in the Duggar household. “From the beginning of our marriage we just kind of felt like we didn’t want to celebrate that holiday,” she shared. “But,” Michelle admitted. “We enjoy the harvest celebration.” “Our church fellowship has had different celebrations through the years that we’ve been a part of,” Michelle continued. Michelle wrote that these celebrations were “ones where the children can play games and receive candy and toys and do all kinds of fun things, like a cake walk.” Really, of course, the family’s reluctance to participate in Halloween stems from a desire to isolate the children from any cultural experiences that they consider unbiblical. In  Growing Up Duggar  by Jill, Jinger, Jessa, and Jana mention how seriously Jim Bob and Michelle take the supernatural. “One specific thing that our parents have always been careful about is magic,” the book says. “Which often shows up in children’s movies.” “As harmless as it may seem, it’s not a joke in God’s eyes,” the girls say. “Magic, sorcery, witches, spell-casting and the like are all part of the demonic realm that God wants us to stay away from,” the book continues. “No matter how ‘good’ a film containing magic may seem,” the girls warn. “God speaks seriously throughout the Bible.” The girls write that “it is not something to be glorified or portrayed by any means as something fun or attractive.” So we don’t think that Felicity will be going trick-or-treating when she gets older. Halloween, first of all, tends to glorify a lot of those things — you know, people dress as witches and ghosts. Also, the holiday itself is based upon an ancient religious festival of the Celtics, that involved honoring the dead while celebrating the year’s final harvest. While most see Halloween as fairly distinct from Samhain, which some still practice today, to the Duggars, it’s a spiritual threat. That said, Jeremy Vuolo has shown that he’s less strict than Jim Bob and Michelle. Just as Austin Forsyth viewed and reviewed the Marvel film, Thor , Jeremy has demonstrated that he doesn’t share their views. He believes that women can wear pants. Might he one day allow his daughter to dress up as Batgirl or as a princess? Maybe we’ll find out. For now, she’s a literal baby and is perfectly happy wearing a headband that matches her mother’s.

Josh Duggar: SLAMMED For Filing "Ridiculous" Lawsuit

When you hear the words “Josh Duggar” and “court” together, it’s tempting to fantasize about an alternate reality in which the disgraced former reality star was actually held accountable for his sex crimes and imprisoned. The bad news is, that dream will never become a reality. The good news is, Arkansas court officials are currently raking Josh over the coals and reminding the world of what a horrendous person he really is. Josh is suing the Springdale Police Department , claiming that the decision to release documents about his past sexual assaults resulted in loss of income and “emotional distress.” In one way, we admire the department’s restraint in not simply beating the holy hell out of a molester who’s whining about the “emotional distress” he suffered after news of his crimes went public. In every other way, we wish they would do exactly that, because seriously — f-ck Josh Duggar. Fortunately, the Springdale police are issuing the legal equivalent of a beatdown by refusing to settle with Josh out of court (as he would no doubt prefer) and lambasting the father of five in savage court documents: “Josh Duggar notes that he has a ‘certain level of celebrity’ and that he engaged in public life,” reads one such filing. “Yet he claims that by appearing in a popular reality television series, being a leader in national, political, and civic organizations, and engaging in public speaking, he somehow was conducting himself in a manner consistent with an expectation of privacy.” Lawyers for the department go on to blast Josh as “absurd” and “ridiculous” for believing the documents related to his crimes should have been destroyed on his 21st birthday. The lawsuit is part of Josh’s current comeback tour , which fortunately is not going according to plan. The Duggars have been slowly reintroducing Josh to fans with the obvious goal of eventually bringing him back on television. Lawsuits designed to make Josh look like the victim are part of the plan, but thus far, none of them have gone in his favor. First, Josh sued In Touch Weekly for publishing the documents, and now he’s going after the police ho gave the tabloid access to his records. Dredging up his dark past in an effort to win back fans is a bizarre strategy, but being the sharpest crayon in the box is one thing Josh has never been accused of.

Jill Duggar: Finally Ready to Leave Derick Dillard?!

For years now, rumors that Jill Duggar is planning to divorce Derick Dillard have been circulating nonstop. Despite the many, many ways in which he’s screwed up, however, that outcome still seems unlikely, if only because divorce is so severely frowned upon in Jill’s family. For all we know, Jill is as disgusted by Derick’s actions as anyone else. But in all likelihood, the mother of two will remain with her disappointing husband simply because that’s what’s expected of her. That won’t stop fans from dreaming of a future in which Jill kicks him to the curb, however: It’s tough to say what Derick’s most egregious offense of the past year has been. The most obvious candidate is Derick getting fired from Counting On for expressing his bigoted views in a bizarre Twitter tirade. Awful stuff, especially since Jill quit the show as a gesture of solidarity, thus leaving her family with no source of income. Derick has yet to apologize and has, in fact, doubled down on those views, so it’s highly unlikely he’ll be returning to television anytime in the near future. So that might be the biggest reason that the public hates him, but Jill’s biggest reason for wanting to kick him to the curb probably has to do with Derick’s infidelity. Yes, as you may have heard, Derick has been accused of cheating on Jill. Jill hasn’t publicly commented on those reports but she recently posted a photo of herself reading the Bible’s ” warning on adultery ” section. Fans noted that she had highlighted the entire section. Not long after, Jill posted the image below, in which she’s seen reading a self-help book about boundaries and the importance of removing “toxic” people from one’s life. Fans got excited yet again, but it’s worth noting that this pic came just days after the Dillards revealed that Jill attends law school lectures with Derick so that she can help him take notes. Not exactly the act of a woman who’s planning to pack up the kids and leave ASAP. Maybe one day Jill will surprise us all by asserting her independence and moving on without Derick. Like so many others, we hope that’s the case — but we also realize it’s a long way off, if it ever happens at all. View Slideshow: Jill Duggar: Is She Rebelling Against Jim Bob’s Belief System?!
