As you've likely heard by now, Jenelle Evans has lost custody of her kids following a shocking chain of events. It all started when Evans' husband, David Eason, shot and killed the family dog . This prompted a CPS investigation that revealed deplorable living conditions on the property that Jenelle and David have obnoxiously dubbed “The Land.” Now, the three children who were still under the care of Evans and Eason (the couple had already lost custody of two other kids) have been placed in safer environments pending further investigation. In an exclusive statement issued to The Hollywood Gossip , Jenelle vowed to get her kids back — but is that even possible? Sadly, yes. And here is how she could do it: 1. The Non-Mom Longtime Teen Mom 2 viewers were not exactly shocked when Jenelle lost custody, as well-documented reports of drug use, child neglect, violent outbursts, and other erratic behavior have been following Evans for years. 2. Domino Effect But despite all of the negative press and the many, many police reports against Jenelle, it wasn’t until David killed Jenelle’s French bulldog that local authorities really took action. 3. Putting David Above Her Kids When it became evident that Jenelle would not be leaving David and, thus, that her kids would remain in a house with a violent psychopath, CPS acted quickly. 4. At Last An investigation was launched, and the kids were promptly removed from the home and placed with relatives. 5. A Broken Family 2-year-old Ensley is now living with Jenelle’s mother; 4-year-old Kaiser has been placed with his father; and 11-year-old Maryssa resides with her maternal grandmother. 6. An Unlikely Goal Jenelle, of course, has publicly vowed to regain custody. View Slideshow

Here’s more details about the new season of “Iyanla: Fix My Life” In this dramatic new season of the series, the Mitchell family returns for more episodes in search of Iyanla’s help. In part one, Iyanla reunites with the family and finds that they have fallen back into old patterns: Michael, Jr. has gone back to making lewd videos, Markis’s guilt about failing his family has led to a suicide attempt and one sibling went MIA. In part two of this multi-episode story, Iyanla sits down with the oldest sibling, Kizzy, to help her understand that she is no different from the mother who abandoned her; meanwhile, Iyanla sits Michael, Jr. down with mother Leronda to gain a greater understanding of an untreated mental health issue – one causes emotional outbursts and spurs him to post degrading videos of himself on social media; and lastly, Iyanla addresses the violent breakdown during the previous episode between Marvin and Melvin around one brother’s discomfort with his own sexuality. In a final attempt to move beyond the burden of resentment they hold towards their mother and each other, Iyanla jumps in between the chaos of family squabbles, breakdowns and blowups by making each member face their core issues of deeply rooted mistrust. In subsequent episodes, Iyanla meets with a troubled young woman born in prison to a drug-addicted mother. Hours before being born, her 22-year-old father was notified he had a daughter on the way—a daughter that he was neither expecting nor sure he wanted. Lil’Karla marinated in a womb of “unwantedness” and grew up among family that she claims raised her in that same spirit, which she uses as an excuse for a lifetime’s worth of bad behavior. Also, Iyanla proves the old saying “If it’s not one thing, it’s your mother,” as she deals with two separate cases of manipulative women who will do anything in their power to control their adult children, followed by a couple who are desperately trying to save their marriage. Iyanla continues her work as she sits down with a father and his three sons – two of which he suspects are not actually his. YIKES… Sounds like a lot of family drama that many of us can relate to — or hopefully are blessed enough not to relate to. OWN is also launching a podcast version of its award-winning series “Iyanla: Fix My Life” available June 18 on Apple Podcasts. The “Iyanla: Fix My Life” podcast will feature previously aired content from the critically-acclaimed series’ most popular interviews featuring spiritual life coach Iyanla Vanzant, as she helps those who are struggling, guiding them toward a new way of living and encouraging them to do the work necessary for real change. “Iyanla: Fix My Life” podcast will roll out a new episode every Tuesday beginning on June 18 available on Apple Podcasts, including episodes with the following featured guests: former NFL star Chad Ochocinco Johnson and reality TV star Evelyn Lozada; popular radio personality “Sasha the Diva”; former “Real Housewife of Atlanta” Sheree Whitfield; rapper, actor and reality TV star Saigon; and reality television star Arica Adams, better known as “Hazel-E.” Sounds like a great way to refresh some classic content.

Source: Ivan Nikolov/WENN.com / WENN Kit Harington reportedly checked himself into a rehab facility due to the stress of Game Of Thrones and alcohol use. According to Page Six , the 32-year-old Harington has been in the facility for weeks. “The end of ‘GoT’ really hit Kit hard,” an unnamed source told the website. “He realized ‘this is it — this is the end’, it was something they had all worked so hard on for so many years. He had a moment of, what next? He’s in the clinic predominantly for stress and exhaustion and also alcohol.” According to the source, Harington has been in the facility for a month and his family is encouraging the stay. “His wife Rose is being extremely supportive.” they said. “Right now, he just needs peace and quiet.” His rep confirmed the news. “ Kit has decided to utilize this break in his schedule as an opportunity to spend some time at a wellness retreat to work on some personal issues,” his rep told E! News . Harington, who played Jon Snow on the show has often discussed how the criticism of Thrones has weighed on him. Sophie Turner shared similar concerns with criticism of her role as Sansa Stark on the show. “I think no matter what anyone thinks about this season—and I don’t mean to sound mean about critics here—but whatever critic spends half an hour writing about this season and makes their [negative] judgment on it, in my head they can go f**k themselves,” he told Esquire . “‘Cause I know how much work was put into this. I know how much people cared about this. I know how much pressure people put on themselves and I know how many sleepless nights working or otherwise people had on this show.” RELATED: Game of Thrones Stars Unite At Kit Harington & Rose Leslie’s Wedding [PHOTOS] RELATED: The Starks Come Out On Top, ‘Game of Thrones’ Fans Torn On The Finale RELATED: Emilia Clarke Worried Beyoncé Would Hate Daenerys After ‘Game Of Thrones’ Season 8
Well, here’s a development we certainly didn’t anticipate. In recent months, any new news surrounding the corrosive relationship between Jenni Farley and her ex-husband Roger Mathews has been bad news. The trouble started last year when Farley announced her divorce from Mathews . At first, the split seemed to have taken place on amicable — if not mutual — terms. Roger wasn’t happy about the end of his marriage — in fact, he posted several videos in which he begged Jenni to take him back — but it seemed there was no bad blood between the exes. Then the truth came out. Farley filed for a restraining order against Mathews and video that seemed to show Roger physically assaulting Jenni surfaced online. Since then, Jenni has not held back in depicting Roger as a terrible husband and an even worse father. Just last month, she accused Mathews of ditching his kids so he could go party. Now, Roger has posted a video in which he responds to the months and months of negative press — but it’s not at all what we would’ve expected: Roger Mathews: Jenni Farley Is the Best Mom! “Happy Memorial Day everyone,” Mathews began his lengthy caption to the video. “There seems to be an overflow of negative comments both toward me and toward Jenni on many of my posts still. I’m a big boy and a proud supporter of free speech, I can take it,” he continued. “Jenni also has tough skin and can take it however the comments as to who the better parent is, or who spends more time our children are unnecessary.” Yes, it seems Roger is subtly acknowledging the criticism Jenni endured for spending Memorial Day Weekend with her new boyfriend Zack Carpinello . From there, he addresses his past wrongdoing and makes it clear he’s putting his kids’ needs first going forward: “I accept my responsibility in the divide I caused In the eyes of the public but I’ll always post about my children and if we can move past the negativity certainly it wouldn’t be too much to ask for everyone else to,” Mathews wrote. “We both love our children emphatically and always will,” he concluded. “It takes far more effort and energy to be negative than it does to be positive. Enjoy this beautiful day.” The clip itself shows Roger arriving home at night with his children in tow. While it might be possible to interpret the post as a sort of humblebrag — Mathews’ way of touting what a stand-up guy he is by defending his ex as he cares for his kids over the holiday weekend — that doesn’t appear to be the case. Rather, it seems both Roger and Jenni are doing their best to move on from their messy split. Recently, Mathews even referred to Carpinello as “a terrific guy.” Obviously, this is no guarantee that Jenni and Roger won’t lock horns in the months and years to come. But for now, it seems both parties are committed to their children’s well-being, which is good enough for us. View Slideshow: Jenni Farley Boyfriend: Identity… REVEALED!
Reports have said that Kylie Jenner wants Travis Scott to knock her up again, but on purpose, this time. But before any of that, she is said to have one thing on her mind. Kylie wants to marry Travis, and she’s even willing to elope and leave her family cut out of the nuptials if that’s what it takes. RadarOnline that there’s more on Kylie Jenner’s mind than just a desire to marry Travis Scott. She’s apparently so eager to tie the knot with him that she’s giving real consideration to eloping. “It burns away at Kylie that they had Stormi out of wedlock,” an insider claims. That’s news to us, and Kylie is one of multiple Kardashian siblings who’s had a kid without ever putting a ring on it. But apparently Kylie wants to do things differently … now that she and Travis are in a really good place. The source acknowledges that Kylie could have had a shotgun wedding with Travis in late 2017, “but at the time their relationship was shaky.” “And then,” the insider adds. “Things got pushed onto the back burner.” The source explains that they avoided nuptials “because they couldn’t figure out a prenup agreement that suits them both.” Prenups are complicated but absolutely vital — for tons of marriages, but especially when one party is mildly rich and the other is a billionaire. Protect your assets and protect your future, no matter how you feel in the moment. It’s common sense, people. There was also a little bump in their relationship that was reported as more of a cheating scare than an actual scandal. “Kylie got anonymous messages from a woman claiming to be Travis’ side piece,” the insider recalls. “The woman had no proof,” the source quickly notes. “But Kylie flipped out.” That was in the midst of one of Tristan Thompson’s cheating scandals, so the woman’s unsubstantiated claim hit really close to home. Hey, seeing your friend’s baby daddy cheat can make anyone a little insecure. These days, they’re in a better place and feeling much more secure in their relationship. And it turns out that another celebrity couple had a big influence on her. “She loves what Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas just did,” the source expresses. Notably, the Game of Thrones alum and the former hottest Jonas Brother had a relatively simple surprise wedding in Las Vegas. “And,” the insider reveals, Kylie “is brainstorming something similar.” “This won’t be a family-planned event though,” the source warns. “As Kylie sees herself above the whole KUWTK circus these days.” “Kylie thinks KUWTK has run its course,” a previous insider reported to RadarOnline . “She is just so busy with Kylie Cosmetics,” the source claimed. “That she doesn’t have time to deal with the long hours it takes to film.” We imagine that, even with Travis and the money to buy a small army of caregivers, being a mom didn’t free up much of Kylie’s schedule, either. “She is just really over all of it,” the insider concluded. Once you’ve raked in a billion dollars and given birth to a child, appearing on camera — as you’ve been doing since you were a kid — seems less important. Now, we have to emphasize that this report cannot be confirmed. It reports upon what are allegedly Kylie Jenner’s private thoughts. We should acknowledge that, even if she feels “over” her family’s show, it is still linked to her brand and, therefore, to her beauty empire. It may be in Kylie’s best interests to make sure that her wedding is a picture-perfect reality TV special. But hey, maybe she’s confident that she doesn’t need her family’s brand anymore. She’s the billionaire mogul, and we are not. View Slideshow: Kylie Jenner Officially Named Youngest Self-Made Billionaire of All-Time
Source: Marcus Ingram / Getty Tonight’s episode of Love and Hip-Hop Atlanta picks up with Scrapp, Bambi, Joc, Kendra, Shekinah, Tokyo Vanity, Kirk, and Rasheeda are headed to Trinidad, but what they don’t know is that Mimi invited Pooh. Those two will show up later, and we all know that’s going to be lots of fun when they arrive. Anyway, Karlie Redd is in charge of hosting the group since her family is from Trinidad. Spice is the reason they’re there, but Spice will be performing in The Gambia for the first leg of their shenanigans so she’ll join the fun later. Back in the states, we find Akbar V recording. Che Mack shows up to her session to inform her that Made Man got shot. Someone tried to rob him and now he’s in the hospital in intensive care. Che puts Akbar on the spot and asks if she can watch her daughter while she runs to check on him in the hospital. Che Mack explains that she’s conflicted about how to behave with him because she just moved out of the house they shared and she’s still mad at him but he’s also in a near death situation yatta yatta. Obviously, she should just go to the hospital and hope he doesn’t die. In Trinidad, Karlie makes reservations for the group at a restaurant that serves local cuisine so they can taste Trinidadian food. There’s already tension between Karlie and Shekinah, and it doesn’t help the situation when Shekinah (and also Tokyo Vanity) is knit picking the food. Karli gets annoyed and snaps at Shekinah. Then they get into it. Karlie starts yelling at Shekinah to give Trinidad a chance. Shekinah reminds Karlie that she’s actually not from Trinidad. Then Tokyo jumps in and says she needed a passport to get there just like the rest of them. Karlie says she just wants them to have a good time. Then Shekinah says she don’t eff with Pooh but she gets what she’s saying about Karlie. Karlie gets triggered hearing Pooh’s name and plays the recording of her phone conversation with Hiriam allegedly saying nothing happened between them, but the context of what Karlie played is shady so we don’t really know if that’s exactly what he’s talking about in that moment. You know how tricksie Karlie is. Plus, we already saw the convo between Pooh and Hiriam where she told him that Karlie had recorded their conversation and he said that he was lying to Karlie and saying whatever she wanted just because it’s not his style to put his dalliances out there like that. So it’s a matter of he said she said. Someone is lying. In Atlanta, Scrapp and Sierra are painting an anti-gun violence mural. They’re talking about all the gun violence they’ve experienced. Then Akbar pulls up and tells them about Che Mack’s babydaddy. Scrapp knows Che Mack, hasn’t seen her in a while but plans to check on her. Then We get back to the bs. Akbar V asks Scrapp about what was up with Moniece. He tries to downplay his relationship with her, like he does to pretty much all the women we’ve seen him with on this show. Then Sierra pulls Akbar V aside and asks her to stop beefing with all her friends. Akbar V agrees to behave herself…once again. Later on we find out that Made Man is stable and will survive. Then we cut to Scrapp walking with Che Mack. This is him checking up on her. They haven’t seen each other in a while but the story goes that they used to be close. According to Scrapp, she used to be his wingwoman. Then they start gossiping. Scrapp reveals that he feels some type of way about Stevie J because he wasn’t there for him when he was locked up. This is the perfect opportunity for Che Mack to bring up the fact that she heard that Stevie also creeping with Tommie while Scrapp was locked up. Scrapp heard that same rumor and plans to see his Uncle Stevie to discuss. We all know that means that Stevie will probably be making an appearance soon. We also know that that discussion is not going to go well. Now we’re back in Trinidad at the point where Mimi shows up with Pooh. Mimi tries to get Pooh and Karlie Redd to put their differences aside. Karlie says she needs Pooh to admit that she lied about everything she said they did. Pooh, however, goes into graphic detail and even simulates some of what allegedly happened. This obviously goes straight to hell, like we knew it would. First, it’s Karlie vs. Pooh but security shuts that down. Then Tokyo Vanity tries to get in on the fun and again security shuts that down. Mimi acts shocked that things went left with Pooh and then we get to next week when Pooh plays a recording she has of her husband saying that he lied during his convo with Karlie because he just didn’t want to put her out there. Anyway, we’ll be back at this next week. Because…drama. RELATED POSTS ‘LHHATLS8’ Recap: Spice Wants The Crew To Join Her In Trinidad ‘LHHATLS8’ Recap: Rasheeda And Kirk’s Party In The Woods Is Over
