Tristan Thompson: I SWEAR I Was Single When I Met Khloe Kardashian!!

By the looks of things on social media, Tristan Thompson has spent this summer trying to look like a good dad . Now, he’s using social media to defend the reputation of someone else — someone more deserving. Tristan is finally standing up for Khloe, saying that she’s never been a “side piece” and doesn’t deserve the backlash she receives. There are always, always rumors about Tristan’s activities. He took to Twitter to try to clear the air. “I have spent the last few months training for my upcoming nba season,” Tristan writes. “And making sure that I am in the best shape possible.” “I have not been on vacations at all this summer,” he clarifies. “And,” Tristan emphasizes. “The current rumors spreading are 100% false.” We’re not even sure which specific rumors he may mean — that’s how often Tristan’s alleged activities are the subject of speculation. It was, however, Tristan’s next tweet that really caught people’s attention. “Also,” Tristan announced to his legions of fans and followers. “When I met Khloe I was SINGLE.” “The negative comments that are constantly being directed towards her are unnecessary,” he continued. Tristan affirmed: “She does not deserve all this backlash for my wrong doings.” To borrow a folksy expression: well ain’t that the truth . “Both Khloe and Jordan have been nothing but great mothers to my kids,” Tristan praised. Khloe has also spoken out about reports that say that Tristan was still with a pregnant Jordan Craig when he hooked up with her. “MY TRUTH IS: I met Tristan because HE CHOSE to go on a blind date with me,” Khloe shared. She added that “A mutual friend set us up.” “After going on some dates, Tristan told me that he had an ex that was pregnant,” Khloe revealed. “Obviously,” she admitted. “I was reluctant about us continuing to date or start a relationship.” Khloe shared in her Instagram Stories that Tristan assured her that what he had with Jordan “was over long before we met.” “He had me talk with his most inner circle,” Khloe detailed. “He showed me physical [proof] (correspondence between the two).” “And had me on calls with his lawyers to prove his point,” she added. “His best friends, business associates, and even his mother told me,” Khloe recalled. “Him and his ex were broken up before we met.” Sometimes, people can seem almost too prepared to prove their case. Khloe continued, writing that she “believed and trusted” Tristan at that time. “If for any reason this is NOT in fact the truth,” Khloe expressed. “I am so completely and utterly sorry that TRISTAN and his inner circle would lie on something like this!” “I pray my truth is in-fact that,” she added. “Lord knows I pray but now, I really don’t know what to believe.” “Truthfully, from the deepest parts of my soul I am sorry!” Khloe wailed. “I’m sorry for any pain that has been created either way,” she concluded. “No woman deserves to go through anything like this! This is MY TRUTH.” View Slideshow: Khloe Kardashian Makes Stunning Admission, Says Tristan Thompson Threatened to Kill Himself

Anna Duggar Praises Sexual Predator Josh Duggar: Redemption Is Beautiful!

We don’t see too much of Josh Duggar these days — and that’s unquestionably a good thing. As you’ll likely recall, Josh molested five young girls — four of whom were his sisters — while he was still in his teens. Josh’s parents helped him avoid prosecution , but the disgraced reality star was tried and convicted in the court of public opinion when news of his crimes was finally made public in 2015. The father of five has not appeared on his family’s TLC reality shows in the years since. But that doesn’t mean Duggar fans have been completely shielded from the sight of him. On several occasions, Josh has attempted a comeback of sorts by appearing in photos posted on social media by various family members. For obvious reasons, no one is more keen to see Josh get back to earning the big bucks as a reality star than his wife Anna, who is currently pregnant with her sixth child. And so the latest Josh photo comes to us from Anna’s Instagram page. She posted the pic below on Wednesday, along with a caption reading: “We enjoyed a visit to the St. Louis Zoo on our way up to Oshkosh, Wisconsin last week!” “It’s always exciting to see the different animals and the kiddos love it!” she added. The photo received a mixed response from Anna’s followers, but one fan was effusive in her praise of the admitted child molester: “I love seeing more pictures with Josh in them! Your family is such a beautiful example of the love of Christ!” she wrote. “I know your journey has been hard but it looks to me like you have come through it with grace!” Anna was quick to reply, writing: “Thank you for your kind words. Redemption is a beautiful thing!” Yes, apparently, at some point, Josh was redeemed. We must have missed that one! In all likelihood, Anna means that Josh has been forgiven in a religious sense. As for how his victims and the public feel about him — well, that’s a more complicated matter. From St. Louis, the family proceeded to Osh Kosh, Wisconsin, where they attended an air show that Anna described as “one of our 2019 summer highlights.” “We topped off the camping experience by grilling lunch & dinners for our family and Joshua’s siblings,” she wrote on Instagram. “My hat is off to John & Abbie who stayed in an actual tent.” The presence of Josh’s siblings left some fans wondering if the trip was documented by a Counting On camera crew. It may be quite some time before we know for sure. But whatever the case, it’s a safe bet that Josh won’t be appearing in the episode. It’s one thing for his family to force him on an unsuspecting public. Execs at TLC have a lot more at stake — and a much better sense of what audiences will and will not put up with.

Courtland Rogers Gets Arrested AGAIN! Who Keeps Letting This Guy Out?!

If you’re a longtime Teen Mom viewer then you’ll likely remember Jenelle Evans’ first husband, Courtland Rogers. Yes, Evans was married before she met David Eason, and believe it or not — she may have traded up. In fact, Courtland may be the only one of Jenelle’s exes who can actually hold a candle to her in terms of batsh-t lunacy. Hard drugs, arrests, violence — you name it. These two were made for each other. Jenelle has more mug shots than the entire Mafia combined, so it’s unclear if Courtland has her beat in that department. But it seems he’s doing his best not only to break his former wife’s record but to become the all-time world champion: According to Starcasm, Courtland was arrested again on Wednesday morning. Rogers allegedly violated his probation, and while the exact nature of his infraction remains unclear, we can assume it was fairly serious — his bail has been set at $100,000. The news comes just one week after Courtland’s most recent arrest , which was also due to an unspecified probation violation. But in case you’re tempted to think that this is a case of the system abusing a high-profile felon who’s just trying to get back on his feet, allow us to disabuse you of that notion: Prior to his latest brushes with the law, Rogers was arrested for assaulting his wife . At that time, he was already on probation for possession of a schedule III controlled substance with the intent to manufacture, sell or deliver. All of this came after Courtland was released from prison  after serving most of a three-year sentence in 2017. The system doesn’t make it easy for ex-cons to rebuild their lives post-incarceration — but we’re not sure there’s anything that can be done to help Mr. Rogers. Every time this happens, we speculate that now , Courtland will be locked up for good. And every time, he’s back on streets within 24 hours. But we’re not gonna sit here and whine about the state of our legal system. We will, however, pine for a different timeline in which Courtland and Jenelle are still married. If ever there were a couple who well and truly deserved each other, it was these two. View Slideshow: Teen Mom Mug Shots: Look Who’s Been Booked!

Jay Smith: 90 Day Fiance Star Released from ICE Custody!

During the first days of July,  90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?  star  Jay Smith was arrested and placed in ICE custody . Ashley explained that he had violated a protection order that she had been granted just a day earlier. It looked like Jay would just sit in custody until his inevitable deportation to Jamaica. Sad for his fans, and tragic for his mistress-turned-girlfriend — especially if you believe the rumor that  he knocked her up . Now, in a sudden twist, Jay's luck seems to have changed. Take a look below and find out how Jay became a free man overnight. 1. Things have changed for Jay We can honestly say that we did not expect to see this happen at all, let alone the way that it went down. 2. Jay and Ashley have been over for a while Back in early April, Ashley realized that Jay wasn’t just cheating again — he was part of an entire side relationship, and had been for months. They split and, this time, there would be no reconciliation. 3. Then came the PFA Ashley says that after she went on vacation with her family, Jay broke into her home and took things. She contacted police, who recommended that she obtain a Protection From Abuse order. Ashley said that there was “a lot of abuse” in their marriage. On July 1, the order was granted. 4. Apparently, Jay couldn’t be bothered to comply Jay took to Instagram and made explicit reference to the PFA — something specifically forbidden. He was not to discuss it at all. 5. Actions have consequences Police saw that Jay had allegedly violated the PFA, so they contacted him to inform him that he would be arrested. Jay turned himself in. Because he is not a US citizen (and was in fact awaiting deportation anyway), Jay was placed in ICE custody. 6. But he still has supporters Remember that long-term girlfriend of Jay’s? Kayla is her name, and she set up a GoFundMe to try to raise money to get Jay out of prison. View Slideshow

Instagram Influencer Found Dead Inside a Suitcase; Who Was Ekaterina Karaglanova?

Ekaterina Karaglanova, a well-known Russian Instagram influencer, was stabbed to death inside her Moscow apartment on Friday, multiple outlets have now confirmed. She was just days from turning 25 years old. The details of the case are especially gruesome. According to The Independent, the travel and fashion blogger’s parents contacted her landlord after not having heard from their daughter for multiple days. At this point, the landlord entered Karaglanova’s residence and discovered the 24-year old’s corpse. The body was inside a suitcase in her apartment hallway. Stab wounds were evident on her neck and chest, while local police say there were not signs of a struggle at the scene; a murder weapon has not be uncovered from the premises. Karaglanova had recently graduated from medical school and had established over 92,000 followers at the time of her murder. The social media personality was mostly beloved for her luxurious travel posts, where she posed in such locations as Italy, Austria and Spain. Her final Instagram photo depicts Karaglanova lounging poolside in Corfu, Greece, detailing her love for traveling. In addition to her globally popular Instagram account and separate travel blog, the Russian brunette was hoping to break into the field of dermatology. Investigators are currently looking into the case, per Variety, citing jealousy from a former boyfriend as a possible motive behind the crime. A suspect reportedly has been arrested, but not many other details have been released at this time. According to police, however, CCTV footage captured an alleged ex-boyfriend entering Karaglanova’s building around the days of her disappearance. This video shows him leaving with a suitcase and wearing gloves. Ekaterina was also a former Miss Moscow first runner-up; she posted to her Instagram over 650 times through the years. “I travel often, but in ever country I spend no more than 3-5 days,” Karaglanova wrote on her official page on July 22, addinh: “The longest journey of my life was in Israel with my family, when I was 14. “We went to visit for a while month, covered the whole country. Now I prefer to travel very often, but briefly…The impressions of such short trips remain the brightest.” UPDATE : A spokesperson for the Russian Ministry of Interior has released the following statement: “As a result of operational search activities, the police officers at the Moscow Directorate of the MVD of Russia in Moscow established the location and arrested the suspect in the murder of a female social media personality in the apartment of a residential building on Pyryeva Street. “He has now been brought in for questioning.” May Ekaterina Karaglanova rest in peace.

Jessa Duggar vs. Katy Perry Feud: Actually a Thing?!

Earlier this week, a judge ruled that a Christian rapper’s copyright infringement case against Katy Perry could proceed to the trial stage. The rapper — who goes by the stage name Flame — claims that Perry’s 2013 hit “Dark Horse” is a ripoff of his song “Joyful Noise.” It’s a bit ironic, considering that title must have been used by about 40 bajiliion Christian recording artists before Flame came along, but that’s a conversation for another time. Now, you may be wondering what in the hell (pardon us, evangelical readers) all of this has to do with Jessa Duggar. Well, if you’re a fan of her family’s and you follow her husband on social media, then you might already be familiar with Flame, aka Marcus Grey. Grey is a longtime Duggar associate who was once interviewed by Jessa’s husband, Ben Seewald, on the topic of race relations in America. Ben Seewald on Racial Unrest (There was a time when Ben tried to fashion a career for himself as a media figure who asks the tough questions. The less said about that phase, the better.) “Flame has been doing Christian hip hop for many years now,” Ben told the camera. “I started listening to some of Flame’s music a little over a year ago. I really appreciated the content of his music. We actually became friends.” Ben goes on to explain that his wife later became friends with Flame, and the couple even introduced the rapper to their then-infant son, Spurgeon. “During this visit we want to kind of introduce Flame to life in the country as opposed to life in the city,” Ben said when Grey’s visit to their was captured by TLC cameras. For years now, the Duggars have been outspoken critics of secular pop culture, and they’re especially chagrinned by what they see as overly-sexualized music directed at younger audiences. In other words, they’re probably not very big Katy Perry fans. This, combined with the unusually heated nature of Flame’s court battle against Perry (The singer even offered to perform her song live in front of the judge to make her case.) has led to rumors that Katy and Jessa don’t like each other. However, while it seems very likely that Jessa dislikes Katy, it seems equally likely that Katy has no idea who Jessa is. Besides, both women have so much on their plates these days that new enemies are probably the last thing on their minds. Katy has enough feuds to keep her busy for the next few decades. Meanwhile, Jessa just welcomed her third child . So as entertaining as it would be if these two started taking shots at one another on Twitter, sadly, it’ll probably never happen.

Stevie J Wants Joseline JAILED For Allegedly Stopping Him From Seeing Daughter During Miami Trip Last Weekend (Exclusive)

Source: Prince Williams / Getty Reality Star Exes Embroiled In Custody Dispute Over Toddler Daughter Bonnie Bella Stevie J has pleaded with a family court judge to throw his ex Joseline Hernandez behind bars after he says she violated a court order by deliberately denying him the chance to visit their daughter during a trip to Miami last weekend. The former “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta” star filed in court papers July 29 to have Joseline put in contempt of court after she allegedly purposely kept their daughter Bonnie Bella Hernandez away from him after he flew to Miami to spend time with the girl under a court order. We exclusively revealed that Stevie sued Joseline for full custody of the tot , arguing that he was more financially and emotionally stable. He also asked the judge to force Joseline to pay him child support. But in her answer, Joseline said that she’s doing the best she can to raise Bonnie, even though her income had gone down. She said that she’s never kept him away from the girl and asked a judge to make him start paying her 20 percent of his income. Stevie and Joseline were in court last week over access to the almost-three-year-old girl, and the judge issued a temporary order where he’d have visitation and one overnight in Miami from July 28 to Aug. 11. Under the order – which was obtained by BOSSIP – Stevie was supposed to take Bonnie to school, hang out with her in class and then drop her back to Joseline’s at 7 p.m. He was also supposed to have unsupervised visitation on weekends. Both Joseline and Stevie also had to agree to submit to drug testing as part of the temporary order. Stevie said he and his family flew to Miami in the hopes of rekindling his relationship with Bonnie, who he said he hadn’t seen or spoken to for six months because Joseline froze him out of her life. But Faith Evans’ husband said Joseline thumbed her nose up at the court by keeping Bonnie home from school and eventually stopped Stevie from seeing her altogether, his court docs state. Stevie wants the judge to step in and put Joseline in jail for her refusal to let him parent Bonnie. He is also seeking an emergency court hearing, for Joseline to reimburse him for his Miami trip as well as his lawyer’s fees. Joseline has not responded to Stevie’s allegations.

Lee Rosbach, Below Deck Captain, Reveals Death of Son

Tragic news out of the world of reality television: Lee Rosbach, a caption on the popular series Below Deck, revealed on Monday that his son, Joshua, died on July 22 from an accidental drug overdose.  He was 42 years old. There was a funeral held a couple days ago for Joshua, who battled addiction for two decades, according to his famous father. “This past Saturday, my beloved wife Mary Anne and I laid our youngest son, Joshua Lee Rosbach to rest,” Lee wrote on Instagram this afternoon as a caption to the above photo of Joshua. “After a twenty year struggle, he finally succumbed to the demons he fought so long and so hard. “Addiction is an insidious disease that knows no social status or geographic boundaries.” Continued the Below Deck star: “Whether you live in a 10,000 sq. ft. mansion or a double wide trailer, the path of death, destruction and devastation it leaves remains the same. “We loved Josh unconditionally and were proud of the man he had become in spite of his problems. There was no one i ever knew who gave more of himself to those in his life. “He loved with all his being without expecting anything in return. We both feel a hole in our souls that will never be filled.” According to a tribute posted on Dignity Memorial, the 42-year-old died on July 22 “in the comfort of his home.” Not much else is known about what transpired, but this same post continued as follows: “At the time of his passing he was in the hearts and minds of those he loved the most. “A gentle and kind soul, Josh was loved by everyone he came into contact with and never met a stranger. His smile, and although quiet personality were traits that people admired. “But the simple things in life were exciting too, especially when he worked hard to buy his first home where he enjoyed spending quality time with his ‘Fur ever buddy and protector’ Champ. “Josh followed his father’s love for the ocean, whether it was sail boating or First Mate aboard a Yacht. “As a son, he was everything to his father and mother. He was a good brother and he loved the precious times they spent together.” Lee Rosbach was born in Saginaw, Michigan and has been in the yachting industry for 20 years. He released a memoir last winter and currently stars on the Bravo program Below Deck. Lee concluded the tribute to his son as follows: So my message to those of you who are fighting this disease, find a way to get help no matter what. For those of you who have a friend, family member, son, or daughter who’s struggling, do what ever it takes to get them the help they need. Be kind and loving, and try to enjoy every second you have with them. Do not pray for our son, but please take care of your children and friends who may need it, as it isn’t too late for them. Captain & Mary Anne. As you can see above, Below Deck chief stew Kate Chastain shared her condolences to Captain Lee and his family on Twitter on Monday. “Beautifully written statement by Captain Lee at what is certainly a devastating time,” she said, adding: “I’ve had the pleasure of spending time with Captain Lee [and] his wife Mary Anne in their home and the love they have for their family has always been a privilege to witness.” Josh is survived by his parents, his sister and brother, nieces and nephews and numerous aunts and uncles.
