Jill Duggar: Do NOT Stay In An Abusive Relationship, Ladies!

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victims stay, one of the more popular reasons being that women from patriarchial faiths and families often stay due to outdated gender roles and not believing in divorce.  Jill’s call to action may seem out of place, as her family members are firm nonbelievers of divorce and definitely have outdated ideas on gender roles .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.

Nicole Nafziger BLASTS Own Fans in Furious Rant: I Am NOT Crazy!

For years, 90 Day Fiance star Nicole Nafziger has endured being slammed by her own fans and second-guessed by her family. Now, she’s putting her foot down. After the latest postponement of her wedding to Azan, Nicole is going off on any and all fans who think they’re entitled to give her advice. This week, Nicole finally put her foot down in a lengthy and furious letter posted to Instagram. “Can y’all just get off my back?” Nicole wrote in her Instagram Stories. She’s been getting advice that she doesn’t want, and her patience is wearing thin. “I don’t want to hear any ‘well if you just’ or ‘if only you would’ …” she explained. Nicole was adamant: “I DO NOT want your advice.” “If you feel the need to message me about your concerns,” Nicole instructed. “DON’T.” She expressed: “I am soooooooo tired of y’all saying the SAME THING, over and over and over.” “You are the first who is trying to tell me how it is,” Nicole continued, possibly leaving out a word by accident (we all do it). She then goes off on a slight tangent to address an odd rumor that had been floating around. Was Nicole really running the Instagram account that has been attributed to Azan? “Also,” Nicole wrote. “I barely have enough time to keep up with my own account.” She continued: “I ABSOLUTELY DO NOT have time to make a fake account of the man I’m seeing.” She is a working single mom and a reality star. Azan may not use his Instagram often, but we see no reason to believe that he’s not the one running the account. Nicole still had more to say, however, and this time it was on a topic even more personal and sensitive than her fiance. “As much as you want to talk about me and my ‘mental health,'” Nicole wrote furiously. “I am not crazy!” she asserted. “And,” Nicole continued. “[I] don’t have time for this crap!” She then instructed her fans and critics alike to “GET A LIFE!!!!!” Just for the record, it is 100% normal for fans of a reality show to become invested in the lives and happiness of the stars. Humans are social animals. Anyone else ever catch themselves worrying about a stranger’s story they read on social media months before? I do. “Because I have one,” Nicole asserted, referring to the “life” that her followes need to get. “And,” she continued. “Y’all are the ones who literally need to MOVE ON.” She then reminds them that she’s not currently on 90 Day Fiance . “The season is over,” Nicole pointed out. She concluded her furious rant: “That is all.” There’s a fine line between concerned commenting and concern-trolling. Certainly, not all criticisms or pieces of “advice” thrown Nicole’s way have been in any way valid. But when people point out that they can easily send money out of Morocco despite Azan’s claims that Morocco doesn’t allow money to sent out, maybe she should listen. It’s probably no coincidence that Nicole is feeling defensive over her controversial, long-term relationship. For months this year, she said that she wanted to head out to Morocco before time for May to start school. Well, May starts school next week, meaning that her wedding plans have been delayed even further. Whatever we may think of Nicole’s relationship with Azan, we’ll say this: if she won’t listen to her own family, what makes her fans think that she’ll listen to strangers? That “you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make them drink” saying applies. Nicole has already been led to the water. That’s all that anyone can do. The rest is up to her.

Gang Leader Found Dead In Cell After Failed Attempt To Escape Dressed As His Daughter

Source: Aitor Diago / Getty The Brazilian gang leader and drug trafficker named Clauvino da Silva (also known as “Shorty) horribly attempted to escape his 73-year prison sentence dressed as his 19-year-old daughter. Now I know you’re wondering; how did he get a rubber mask, glasses, a wig, a black bra, and clothes? Ana Gabriele Silva his 19-year old daughter gave it to him. Next, you’re wondering; where was his daughter while he tried to escape? She was in Gericinó Prison Complex in Rio de Janeiro, hoping her father dressed like an odd little buff girl could make the great escape. Then you wonder; would my child do this for me? Unfortunately, da Silva wasn’t the Master Of Disguise and the police asked “Shorty” to remove everything. According to the Rio Times, Tuesday Clauvino da Silva was transferred to maximum security. “Three days after his failed escape, da Silva, a senior member of Comando Vermelho (Red Command), one of Brazil’s main crime groups, was found dead in his cell in a maximum-security prison. Officials said he appeared to have hanged himself with a bedsheet. An investigation has been launched into his death.” Trending : Black Journalists’ Convention Increases Security After Racially Motivated Mass Shootings Take The Kids To Family Movie Night In Wake Forest!

Brad Pitt Escaped Scientology After It Nearly KILLED Him, Source Claims

We probably don’t need to tell you that Scientology is bizarrely popular in Hollywood — or that it doesn’t have the greatest reputation in the rest of the world. The reasons for this are as plentiful and insane as the Church’s millions of followers: We suppose it’s not surprising that a religion cooked up by a sci-fi writer and centered around space aliens and extreme narcissism would sell like hotcakes in Tinsel Town but wouldn’t necessarily play in Peoria. Still, as much as a cult that encourages its members to achieve success by battling the Martians in their soul seems tailor-made for actors and other film industry insiders, we’re always amazed by just how many celebs have fallen victim to Scientology’s bonkers claims. Take Brad Pitt, for example. These days, despite some rough patches in his personal life , Pitt remains so inarguably the epitome of cool that his dialogue in the Once Upon a Time In … Hollywood script probably consisted of nothing but the words “Brad says some cool Brad Pitt stuff.” But that wasn’t always the case. There was a time when Brad was just a young Missouran trying to make it in Hollywood and running into the same stumbling blocks as any young thespian. And it was during those early days of failed auditions and thwarted ambitions that the opportunistic bottomfeeders who operate the CoS almost got their hooks in young Mr. Pitt. Former Scientologist Sam Domingo — who was once daughter-in-law to famed opera singer Placido Domingo — recently spoke with Radar Online for a series of interviews in which she shares her most shocking memories from her 22 years as a member of the CoS. Domingo claims that in the early ’90s, Pitt and then-girlfriend Juliette Lewis were recruited for by the Church, but had the good sense to flee in the midst of a grueling “detoxification” program. “Brad was recruited in the 1990s during the time he and Juliette Lewis did a movie together,” Domingo says. “That’s when he was put on the purification rundown.” She described the “rundown” as “a program where they basically load you up with vitamins and you sit in the sauna and sweat for five hours a day.” “At least four kids have died on these programs,” Domingo claims. “Brad was doing the same one. He was in the sweat box.” But unlike Tom Cruise, who remains 100 percent in bed with these loonies , Brad apparently knows a fishy scene when he sees one. “He left! They weren’t able to keep Brad,” Domingo says. Thankfully, Pitt escaped and was able to portray one half of 2019’s most unforgettable onscreen duo (We’re talking, of course, about Cliff Boote and his attack dog, Brandy.), but Brad’s isn’t the only happy ending here. Juliette Lewis has enjoyed quite the memorable career herself, and it’s all because she too was able to break free from the Xenuites. “Juliette got in trouble because she got back into drugs,” Domingo claims. “She was in my course group refusing to study. She put her feet on the table and refused.” A stoned cult member with a penchant for showing the world the soles of feet? The fact that Juliette’s somehow not in the new Tarantino might be more baffling than any aspect of Scientology. View Slideshow: 13 Reasons to Be Glad You Never Slept With Brad Pitt

Bam Bam Brown: I’m Only Spending Time With My Family for the Money!

If it’s not one thing, it’s another. Troubled eldest son Matt Brown just reconciled his way back onto Alaskan Bush People , but now another family conflict could rock their world. Bam Bam has had it up to here with how his family treats his girlfriend. At this point, there’s only one thing keeping him around. … RadarOnline reports that 34-year-old Bam Bam Brown is “completely fed up” with his family’s weird double standards. Specifically, his girlfriend Allison Kagan seems to get nothing but the cold shoulder from his parents, and he’s had enough. Recent happy relationship news from his brothers has made it impossible for him to ignore how much his parents like everyone else’s girlfriends. “They do not show Bam’s woman Allison the same level of respect,” the insider explains. “And it really just sets him off,” the source explains. The insider adds that he’s so angry “because they’ve known her longer than any of his brother’s new fame-hungry girls.” It’s no huge mystery why Billy and others don’t care for Allie as much as as they do for Rhain or Raquell or Raiven. Unlike those women, Allison used to work on Alaskan Bush People . It looks like his loved ones didn’t enjoy seeing her make the switch from professional to romantic with Bam Bam. Even so, he and Allison headed off and bought a boat, working hard to totally fix it up. An insider at the time made it clear that the couple “had no desire to return to TV, and they didn’t need to.” So what has the two of them spending time in Washington? Money, of course! What else would it be? “They both know what they are doing,” the source points out. “Because they are smart people.” “They are getting paid handsomely,” the insider notes. “And they know how to run the show like a machine,” the source observes. “Because they understand both sides of it.” If any Alaskan Bush People fans are hoping that Bam Bam and Allison will settle down on the 435-acre property Billy bought, think again. They’re there for the cash from the show, and Bam Bam doesn’t want to expose Allie to rudeness unless they’re being paid for their trouble. For now, sure, they’ll play ball when the show is filming. “But,” cautions the insider, “once the program is done, which will happen eventually, they are out of there.” Sad to think of Alaskan Bush People coming to an end, but even the best shows eventually run their course. Honestly, this sounds like a smart, sensible move on Bam Bam’s part. Alaskan Bush People has made his family into millionaires. Bam Bam absolutely deserves a piece of the action — because fans and viewers want to see him, too. While it won’t be easy if Allison continues to get snubbed, being able to swallow your pride for a while is worth it for a hefty paycheck. In the mean time, maybe Billy’s attitude will have softened after Rhain, Raquell, and Raiven. View Slideshow: Alaskan Bush People: 13 Secrets They Don’t Want You to Know

90 Day Fiance: Did Zied Dump Rebecca for Catfishing Him?

In June the world was introduced to  90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days couple Rebecca and Zied in TLC’s teaser trailer. The pair raised eyebrows for a handful of reasons, one of which is that Rebecca was already married to someone else. Now the series has finally premiered, and while we’ve got a way to go before we learn Rebecca’s fate, we’re here to tell you at least one of her relationships is officially over. When Zied — and  90 Day fans — met Rebecca, she was sitting on a pretty big secret. Not only had Rebecca been married three times, she was  still  married to her third husband. “I want the engagement, I want the wedding, I want our life to start,” Rebecca said in the premier. “But,” she said, “I just have left a lot of things out about my past.” “I’m keeping a secret from Zied,” the 47-year-old admitted, referring of course to her marital status. “I have no idea what Zied is going to do when he finds out,” Rebecca worried during her confessional. “He could absolutely end this relationship,” she reasoned. But as we reported, and as Rebecca goes on to explain, the whole situation isn’t quite as shady as it seems. In truth, Rebecca was only married in the legal sense.  Not that that’s a small detail — the legal recognition is arguably the whole point of getting married, especially on  90 Day Fiance . But Rebecca was never two-timing Zied; she was separated from her husband, but hadn’t finalized her divorce. “As of right now, I’m not technically divorced from my ex,” said Rebecca in the confessional. She went on to explain that she “just kept putting it off” emotionally, because the relationship ended so badly. Sometimes, relationships end so badly that you can’t bare to face your ex under any circumstances. We could understand how that would interfere with the divorce process, which often requires more painful face time with an ex. Unfortunately it’s something that needs to be dealt with before working up to a new marriage. Now, it looks like Rebecca has finally cleared away the old baggage and paved the way for new suitors like Zied. According to court documents recently obtained by  In Touch , Rebecca’s divorce was finalized on July 9. Like Zied, Rebecca’s ex-husband was from overseas. Rebecca and her Moroccan ex originally married in 2013, but were separated in January of 2018. It would be over a year before she actually filed for divorce in May of 2019, well after meeting Zied. But hey, better late than never, right? All things considered, the turn-around on that divorce was pretty quick, once Rebecca actually filed for it. Sometimes these things get messy, and drag on for months to years in court. The first episode shows Rebecca beginning the process, heading to court to file the paperwork. But since the divorce wasn’t finalized until last month, it likely won’t be covered on this season of 90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days . It’s a shame we won’t get to see if the divorce saves Rebecca and Zied’s relationship on screen any time soon. But judging from the comments made by her (alleged) son on reddit in June, Rebecca and Zied survived the ordeal and still love each other very much. So, we can’t say for sure if Rebecca is single, but at least we all know she’s not married. We’d like to congratulate Rebecca on her un-nuptuals, and wish her the best of luck with her new beau. Tune into 90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days on TLC to catch more of Rebecca and Zied. View Slideshow: 90 Day Fiance Before The 90 Days: Meet the Season 3 Stars!!

Andrew Glennon to Amber Portwood: I’ve Got Your Son & You’ll Never Get Him Back!

From the moment that Amber Portwood was arrested for domestic assault , fans assumed that a vicious custody between the Teen Mom OG star and her ex-boyfriend Andrew Glennon would soon follow. But even with Amber’s history of erratic behavior, we don’t think anyone thought the situation would get quite this ugly. Glennon has been keeping his distance from Portwood, and he currently has custody of the former couple’s 1-year-old son, James . Now, he’s being accused of tormenting Amber by flaunting his relationship with James on social media. “Andrew seems more concerned with public perception than getting back together with Amber,” a source close to the situation tells Us Weekly . The insider says the weeks since Amber’s arrest have cemented the fact that there’s no hope of reconciliation for Amber and Andrew. “He’s done nothing to indicate he wants to be back with her, and she’s done nothing to indicate she wants to get back together with him,” the insider says. “They’re as good as done and haven’t spoken since the court ordered them not to.” The source says Andrew’s Facebook posts have infuriated Amber, as have the comments from Glennon supporters deriding Portwood as an unfit mother. But Andrew accuses Amber of conducting her own misinformation campaign. And he says his social media updates serve no purpose other than “to let everyone we love know that James and I are OK.” “She is in total control of the future of this relationship, but if she wants to pass the buck to someone else, ignore her downfalls and not do what is right, that’s on her,” Glennon tells Us Weekly . “Amber needs help and the sooner she acknowledges that, the healthier and happier she will be.” As for the accusations that he’s going out of his way to torment Amber or that he used her for fame, Andrew says nothing could be further from the truth. “There can’t be any better indication of me wanting a family than me taking care of our beautiful son and keeping him safe,” he says.  “He sees photos of her every day, smells her smells and plays with toys they loved to play with.” Something tells us Andrew’s efforts to appease Amber will fall on deaf ears. We’ll have further updates on this developing story as more information becomes available. View Slideshow: Amber Portwood: Andrew Glennon is a Danger! He Drives Drunk!

Jinger Duggar: Inspiring Jana to "Break Free" From Jim Bob, Source Claims [Exclusive]

For years now, Jinger Duggar has had a reputation as the most rebellious member of her ultra-conservative family. Conversely, her older sister Jana Duggar has so fully devoted herself to serving her domineering parents that at the age of 29, Jana is still single, still childless, and still living in her childhood bedroom. We say this with no judgment toward Jana, as that’s not an unusual set of circumstances in 2019. But the choices she’s made are highly unusual in the Duggars’ world — an ultra-conservative, extremely old-fashioned community in which women are taught from a young age that procreation is their primary reason for being. The fact that Jana is still single remains a frequent topic of discussion among Duggar fans. Theories vary widely as to why she has yet to start a family of her own. Some believe she simply hasn’t found Mr. Right, while others maintain that Jana is a lesbian  who has been engaging in an illicit same-sex affair with longtime friend Laura DeMasie. But whatever the hypothesis, the central thrust of the narrative remains the same, and it’s widely agreed that Jana is something of a disappointment to her grandchild-obsessed parents. Jana has offered only vague responses when asked why she’s still single, and it’s entirely possible that either she’s made a conscious decision to remain unattached, or she’s still in search of a suitable partner. However, there’s another theory that’s gained traction among Duggar watchers in recent months — it holds that Jana is being oppressed by her parents, who are forcing her to remain at home in order to help raise her younger siblings. Proponents of this line of thinking insist that Jana is not a disappointment to Jim Bob and Michelle at all and has actually devoted her life to doing their bidding. Perhaps, they reason, Jana will be set free when her youngest sisters are of marrying age themselves. But since Jennifer, Jordyn, and Josie are only 11, 10, and 9 respectively, it may be quite some time before their caretaker is permitted to leave the Duggar compound. That means, of course, that defying her parents and setting off against their wishes might be Jana’s only option in terms of starting a family of her own. And what does all of this have to do with Jinger Duggar? Well, all this week we’ve been bringing you exclusive reports from our Duggar insider — a longtime employee of the family who developed close friendships with several of Jim Bob and Michelle’s children during his years of working with their parents. First, he informed us that Josiah Duggar is clashing with Jim Bob like never before and may be headed for a mental breakdown as a result of constant strife within the family. After that, he closed the book on the ongoing mystery of Mary Duggar’s death  by drowning. Now the source is sharing his views on Jana Duggar and her controversial marital status. It seems he’s of the opinion that Jana is indeed being held back by her parents — and that Jinger represents her only chance to break free. “Jana is the one I hope can break the bonds that hold her,” the insider said in an interview with The Hollywood Gossip . The source made it clear that he believes Jana deserves more than the lonely fate she’s been assigned to — and he feels Jinger is the only one who can lead her to independence. “Maybe Jinger is just what she needs,” he said. “She’s such a wonderful woman whether she’s gay or not. Somebody is gonna be lucky to have her. She’s the epitome of pure love.” Why Jinger? Well, the 25-year-old mother of one has inspired rebellion in her sisters on previous occasions — such as when Jinger wore pants in public, becoming the first Duggar woman of her generation to defy the family’s infamous dress code. Since then, she’s broken from her parents’ worldview in a number of subtle but significant ways. In Jeremy Vuolo, she found a husband who’s vastly more liberal than her parents, and when the couple moved to Los Angeles so that Jeremy could study at an area divinity school, Jinger’s parents were so upset that they reportedly disowned her . If there’s anyone who can inspire Jana to wriggle out from under her parents’ control, it’s Jinger. Sadly, it seems the likelihood of Jana seeking freedom dwindles with each passing year. Asked about the fact that Jana appears to have accepted the possibility that she’ll forever remain single, the informant resignedly remarked, “Such is life.” Sadly, he’s correct — women in strict evangelical communities give in to patriarchal pressures every day. But millions of Duggar fans are not yet ready to give up on Jana. And hopefully, she’s not ready to give up on herself. View Slideshow: Jana Duggar: REAL Reason She’s Still Single Revealed?!
