Kyle Richards: BEGGING Sister Kim Richards to Seek Treatment

Kyle Richards may go on  epic Twitter tirades against Lisa Vanderpump , but she’ll always be there to support her sister, Kim. It’s no secret that Kim has struggled in the past with substance abuse.  Now, Kyle is reportedly begging her sister to seek help again before it’s too late. Us Weekly  reports that Kyle is worried sick about Kim given what she’s learned this summer. “Kyle became aware that Kim was struggling in recent weeks,” the insider reports. “And,” the source adds, Kyle “got extremely concerned based on what she was hearing.” One can only imagine the specifics that she may have heard about Kim. But reports say that Kim isn’t “doing well” and that Kyle is now fully aware of that. “Kyle isn’t a doctor,” the insider points out. “And,” the source continues, when it comes to Kim’s health, Kyle alone “can’t make that determination.” “Which is why,” the insider explains. “She is trying to get Kim into treatment.” Of course. Professionals would be equipped to evaluate how Kim is really doing and to set up the right programs for her. Kyle just hopes that she can persuade Kim to take that important step. Kyle and Kim aren’t quite joined at the hip. The report reminds fans that the sisters have been “living their own lives for some time now.” That is generally very healthy! Despite their independence, the two are said to be on “good terms” with one another. That’s reassuring — especially if it makes Kim more predisposed to heed Kyle’s advice. “t’s going to be an ongoing conversation,” the source characterizes. So not one big dramatic intervention or what have you, but a series of gentle questions and talks. “But the good news,” the insider reveals. “Is that Kim is being extremely receptive to Kyle.” That is an absolute relief. The source affirms that Kim is “recognizing she is coming from a place of love.” That matters so much when it comes to accepting advice and accepting help on your health journey. The hard truth is that part of what made Kim such a source of entertainment as a reality star was her bad behavior. A portion of that bad behavior has been attributed to her substance abuse issues. Even sober, one’s struggle to remain so can alter their behavior. You know how, when you’re hungry, you can eventually become  hangry  because you’re so impatient for food? For some people who struggle with substances, they lash out angrily when they are sober because they have a similar craving. Kyle has done so much for Kim. Some longtime fans of  The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills  have accused her of having a martyr complex and taking care of Kim to show how nice she is. But she really does care about her sister. We don’t know exactly what’s going on with Kim these days, but we wish both Richards sisters the absolute best. The news that Kim is reportedly receptive to Kyle’s words and concerns is extremely promising. Best wishes to them both!

Brandon Thomas Lee: Miley Cyrus and Kaitlynn Carter are FAKING It!

Miley Cyrus separated from Liam Hemsworth and, shortly after that new broke, was spotted making out with Brody Jenner’s ex , Kaitlynn Carter. Now, Kaitlynn’s ex’s castmate, Brandon, is taking cheap shots at Miley and Kaitlynn for their apparent tryst. He now explains that he’s only giving them a hard time because he thinks that they’re fake. “Don’t let yesterday take up too much of today,” Brody advised his fans and followers in a thoughtful Instagram post. But his castmate, Brandon Thomas Lee, isn’t so eager to let go of the past. Naturally, he’s approaching the situation with humor in a very public comment. “Let’s round this scandal out and post a pic of us making out,” Brandon suggests. “Watch out!” Brody then warns. “Pics of Liam and I holding hands on the beach coming soon.” Miley saw this and had some advice for Brody, with whose ex she has been gal pal-ing around. “Go take a nap in your truck,” Miley advises. “And cool off.” She then captions: “#HotGirlSummer.” Hot Girl Summer has been a catchphrase this year for women yearning to enjoy their best lives, from having adventures to just plain getting laid. Miley has clearly been having quite the hot girl summer herself. On Daily Pop , Brandon explains exactly why he decided that Miley and Kaitlynn’s quality time with each other is so entertaining. “I was just like, ‘This is getting out of hand,'” Brandon expresses. He continues: “This whole thing is just so, like — I don’t know.” “I didn’t even want to get involved with it,” Brandon confesses. He then shares his own theory: “It just seems so fake to me.” “It’s just like — why?” Brandon continues, expressing his bewilderment at everyone’s behavior. He believes that it can all be explained: “They’re just obviously messing with their two ex-husbands.” “And they’re all friends,” Brandon points out. “So, it’s like, they were all friends. So, why — it just seems so ridiculous to me.” He then found a little shade to throw in Miley’s direction. “I was just curious as of why this blew up so much,” Brandon confesses. “And I forgot Miley has so many fans.” Way harsh, dude. Now, Brandon isn’t claiming to have any special inside knowledge here. He’s just pointing out that, well, it looks like Miley and Kaitlynn are boosting each other in the news, not boffing each other. That would certainly pull one over on their exes and possibly help their brands. Some have accused Brandon’s suspicions of being inherently homophobic or biphobic. I’m going to have to disagree, there — he could 100% be saying the same thing if it were Liam and Kaitlynn making out. Miley and Liam first became an item way back in 2008 when they worked together. Several years later, they became engaged … only to drop the engagement. Miley went through a dramatic rebirth and rebranding (maybe a couple of them). Longtime fans were overjoyed when they reunited and resumed their engagement, and were over the moon when the two finally got married. But now, Miley and Liam have separated after about eight months of marriage. It may be some time before the dust settled enough for the world to know exactly what broke them up.

Bachelor in Paradise Recap: A Fight Breaks Out Over a Pinata

Welp. That sure got ugly in a hurry. On Tuesday night’s intense episode of Bachelor in Paradise, two contestants got into a legitimate fight — and here’s the truly shocking part… … neither of these contestants was Blake. Indeed, the polarizing sex fiend who has been at the center of most Season 6 installments to date mostly sat this one out last night. Hence why his face was left without a scratch on it at the end of the two hours. The same can’t be said for Jordan Kimball and Christian Estrada. How did this all begin? With Christian not wasting any time asking out Nicole Lopez-Alvar, as all viewers witnessed the instant chemisty between these two. What about Clay Harbor, who was concerned that the only woman in which he interested in was slipping away? Nicole believed Clay to be overly passive… yet he earned an opportunity to show his slightly more assertive side when Christian attempted to steal Nicole again after their date. The guys strangely held hands as they argued over who she should get to spend time with her, only for Nicole to eventually choose Clay, who admitted to being “jittery” after this confrontation. Got it? Following along so far? Okay then… it’s now time to talk about Jordan. He already had beef with Christian prior to Bachelor for Paradise. And then Christian set up a piñata for Nicole during the cocktail party and, after Christian told Clay to go away, Jordan felt an urge to stand up for his friend. Therefore, he tried to take down the piñata, resulting in an actual fight between him and Christian. “Don’t touch my pinata,” said Christian, who had only just been trying to convince Nicole he’s a sweet guy. He then grabbed Jordan, and Jordan grabbed him, and then that’s all we got because ABC got a “to be continued” in order to tease the fallout that will air next week. BOOOOO!!!!!! Watch Bachelor in Paradise Season 6 Episode 4 Online Elsewhere, Dylan Barbour struggled to comprehend why Hannah Godwin was willing to give Blake Horstmann a chance in any way, shape or form. He pressed her about her interest in this loser — and she finally divulged that Blake visited her in Alabama a week before Paradise.  What the heck is up with this guy and all his previous connections to the females on the island?!? He and Hannah even kissed during the pre-show meetup, as Dylan expressed pain over the fact that Hannah hid this information from him. Tayshia Adams, meanwhile, confronted Hannah for withholding the Blake hangout from her, considering Blake Horstmann took her on a date during week one of Season 6 . Adams felt blindsided, which was the same feeling she and Hannah both experienced during Colton Underwood’s season. Hannah did not really appreciate the candid conversation, saying that Blake’s visit was “private” and she didn’t share the story out of respect for him. (Ummm… talk about IRONIC , huh?!?) Hannah thought the show was a better outlet to figure out their connection and later claimed Tayshia “mean girled” her. Also on avery busy episode: Dean Unglert caught Caelynn Miller-Keyes’ eye upon his arrival. However, she grew irritated upon accusing Kristina Schulman of “slut-shaming me across this entire beach.” Dean, who wanted to make up for his earlier sins, didn’t seem to mind her tears, asking her on a date despite the breakdown. Or maybe because of it. He and Caelynn ended up making out in the pool. Finally, Demi Burnett and Derek Peth seemed like the only strong, solid couple in all of Paradise…. but she was secretly conflicted because of the woman she had been dating in Los Angeles before the show. Yes, we said woman . Bachelor in Paradise Trailer: Demi Burnett Kisses a Woman!!!!! Burnett missed her and still thought about her. Like, a lot . She later came out as sexually fluid to several people, but hesitated to tell Derek because she didn’t want the revelation to ruin their connection. In the end, though, she opened up and was relieved by his accepting reaction.

The Real Housewives of Orange Country Recap: Vicki Gunvalson Flips Out Over Pig Video!

Vicki Gunvalson may no longer be a regular cast member on The Real Housewives of Orange County, but her presence was felt on Tuesday’s explosive installment.  Kelly Dodd decided it was time to get some revenge on Vicki when she learned that her daughter had to make her Instagram page private following Vicki’s claims that Kelly was taking cocaine.  Poor Jolie had received some horrifying messages on the social media site, and Kelly was livid.  Elsewhere, Tamra Judge was put on the spot by husband Eddie about her fraught relationship with Vicki and asked whether she would forgive her former friend.  “There’s a big part of me that just doesn’t trust her anymore,” Tamra replied. “And when she texts me how she hates Gina [Kirschenheiter], and then I hear from Gina, and she’s like, ‘Oh my God, [Vicki] called me, and she was so nice and sweet!’ When she got a DUI, Vicki sent me the article and was like, ‘Hahahaha.’ So don’t call somebody and worry about them when you’re talking shit about them!” Eddie wondered why Vicki would act that way, prompting Tamra to say the following:  “Vicki is the most insecure person I have ever met in my life.” Yikes, right?  Tamra followed that up with a confessional in which she said she’s “known Vicki for 14 years, and I still can’t figure her out.” “She’s got a devil and an angel. She’s got like a very sweet motherly person, and that’s the Vicki I like. And then she’s got this horrible side to her. I never know which Vicki I’m getting.” Viewers were then shown a screenshot of the group chat between Tamra, Vicki, and Shanon Beador.  Beador wrote,” Gina was arrested for DUI last night. And she said I was self-medicating…” Vicki said: “So ridiculous…another jailbird…irresponsible.” Shannon replied, “Yup. And she blew a stop sign earlier this month. So stupid. And at 3:43 am?????” Tamra later told Shannon that Vicki wanted to bring up the pig video. The video in question was an animated pig that spoke with Kelly’s voice.  “You wanna f–k with me, you little pig of a f–king bitch?!” the hilarious video begins. “That’s exactly what’s gonna happen to you. Don’t f–king text me! Don’t write to me. You blocked me. I can do whatever you want. You look like shit, so hahahahaha, woohoohoohoohoo, hahahahaha.” But why did Kelly think a pig would hit Vicki right in the feels? “Slade Smiley called Vicki a pig on stage in front of hundreds of people [years ago],” Tamra revealed. Kelly knows that’s a sore subject with Vicki. She got very insecure, even had her nose done because she didn’t wanna look like a pig! It’s really a low blow.” Kelly arrived with her pal and new housewife, Braunwyn Windham-Burke, and immediately said she did not want to meet Vicki.  “Ugh, God, Vicki’s here,” Kelly complained. Vicki greeted everyone, including Kelly, but decided to forego welcoming the new housewife to the fold. However, she chatted up her husband, Sean.  Kelly tried to bite her tongue but quickly made her way over to Emily and Gina to admit that she would “not f–king engage in that bitch. There’s no way.” When all the housewives were at the table, Vicki popped up, and Kelly made a mad dash away from it.  “Did you ladies hear the nice pig emoji that she did about me, saying that I look like shit?” Vicki wondered. Emily said, “I think you look beautiful.” “Well, regardless, you don’t say that to another woman,” Vicki shot back, and Emily agreed.  “We’re all who we are. I’m a product of my mother and my father — with a couple of little tweaks,” Vicki said. Emily went to find Kelly and told her about PigGate, and Gina and Shannon were already there.  “Vicki tells them about the pig emoji, but she didn’t reiterate about the, uh,” Kelly said, clearly confused.  “She sent me this huge text about ‘stop this, you don’t do this, don’t do this, don’t do that.’ As my response, I did a pig emoji right back at her, and I just said what I wanted to say.” Kelly said that she sent the pig emoji because she “didn’t want to type out a whole dissertation on why [Vicki’s] a piece of shit. I just did a mirror image of what she looks like. So oink, oink.” While that was going down, Vicki told Tamra that she wanted to confront Kelly, but Tamra said that Vicki was just as bad with the cocaine allegations.  “Okay! She called me fat!” Vicki yelled back.  Tamra tried to get Kelly to meet with Vicki to hear what she had to say, but Kelly said Vicki “completely ruined” her reputation and that wasn’t something she was going to forget.  Vicki tried to speak to Kelly several times at the party thanks to a nudge from her pals, but Kelly complained that wanted nothing to do with Vicki.  “Leave me alone!” Kelly yelled as Vicki tried to say that she cared about her.  “You don’t understand what you have done to me!” Kelly shouted. “You have hurt my daughter! Do you understand?! Have you ever seen me do cocaine?! Have you?!” There’s plenty more where that came from next Tuesday!

Jed Wyatt Hopes Young Men Learn From His Cold-Hearted Idiocy

Jed Wyatt made a very small mistake during his time on The Bachelorette. He slept with a woman prior to leaving for the show … told this woman that he loved her… never broke up with her… and then never told Hannah Brown that this woman existed. When Brown learned the truth, two days after she accepted an engagement ring from Wyatt, she pulled the plug on this romance. Now, a few weeks after the dramatic Bachelorette finale aired and Wyatt was exposed as total liar and douche canoe, Jed says he just wants to be viewed as a role model. He says he hopes young men out there can learn from all the ways he went wrong. Talking late last week to friend Haley Ringo on the talk show LAnded Late Night, Wyatt was asked where he hopes to be in five months. Once all this controversial dust settles, does Wyatt have any hopes for where he’ll be? Mentally? Physically? Spiritually? “I want to be just an all-around better person,” he said in response, adding in greater detail: “I mean, leading into the show, I just really felt like I did know who I was, you know, but I learned so much from this. From the mistake, from the journey, the whole — I learned so much. “I want to apply it to my life. “Like I said on the podcast, I do want to focus on my spiritual and mental health. I want to be surrounded with my friends, do fun things, fish a lot, sing, the things that make me who I am. I want to do all of that.” That sounds great and everything It even sounds like Jed has maybe learned something throughout this ordeal. But here’s the thing; All he had to do was break things off withh is girlfriend back home before going on a show specifically designed to help him find a wife. That doesn’t seem like a lesson anyone needs to learn ; it should just be innate, you know? (Also: Do not bash this girlfriend several months later , dude.) Stepping up way high on a soapbox, Wyatt later said in this same interview that he wants others out there to NOT follow his example. He wants them to learn from his sins. “To other guys out there who – they’re just out having a good time, they’re young and they’re having fun… I would want them to kind of see and understand that you never know when you’re gonna meet your person,”  he said. Expressing regret over losing Hannah, he continued: “Could be today, could be tomorrow, could be ten years from now, but the person that you are leading into that means everything. I want to help other guys see that. “You just never know and there’s no better feeling than looking at someone and know that that is your person. You can mess that up by playing with other people’s emotions.” Hannah, of course, is actually single right now and recently admitted that she’s struggling . So if Jed were really serious, it could conceivably make a move to get back together with her. But we doubt she’d go for that, even if Wyatt did sound contrite on ABC’s After the Final Rose special. “First and foremost, from the bottom of my heart, I want you to know that I’m sorry,” he told her after getting dumped. “Apparently, they’ve already shown where I half apologized but, especially in hindsight, now that I’ve had time to review myself and my past and my behaviors towards not only you but other people, I fully see that I wasn’t the best that I could be. “And by lacking details to you, the things that you deserve, and the things that you want, it kind… ruined what we found here in a place that I never would have expected to find love like this with someone that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. “And I know that you felt the same and I’m sorry that I took away that experience from you. I’m sorry that this has hurt your family, your friends, Bachelor Nation, everyone, my family, I’m sorry. “I’m responsible for this. I will own up to it all day.” View Slideshow: The Bachelorette Stars: Where Are They Now?

Jinger Duggar: Did She Just Hint That She’ll Allow Her Daughter to Play Sports?!

We probably don’t need to tell you that the Duggars have a lot of crazy ideas when it comes to gender roles. Women are expected to birth and raise whole litters of human beings, but are seldom allowed to participate in such “manly” activities as working outside the home, wearing pants, or engaging in unauthorized physical activity. And that’s not our sly way of referencing the Duggars’ ban on premarital sex. Most types of manual labor and virtually all sports are off-limits to Duggar women, as well. But leave it to the family’s resident rebel, Jinger Duggar, to mess with the established order of things. You see, in his youth, Jinger’s husband, Jeremy Vuolo, pursued a career as a professional soccer player. He made it quite far, playing goalkeeper for the New York Red Bulls and San Antonio Scorpions, both of the Major League Soccer organization. But when Jeremy’s soccer career was cut short, he turned his attention to what he considers to be his true calling — leading worship services. And that’s how the Vuolos wound up in Los Angeles, where Jeremy is currently attending divinity school. And what does all of this have to do with Duggar girls and sports? Well, earlier this week, Jinger and Jeremy attended a soccer game with their young daughter Felicity in tow. The match was between the Jeremy’s Red Bulls and the Los Angeles Football Club. The game itself was likely as boring as any soccer game. (Sorry, fans!) But one photo posted by Jinger really has fans talking: “It looks like she wants to be a goalkeeper like her daddy,” Jinger captioned the above photo of Felicity. Naturally, Jinger’s followers were giddy with the possibility that the mother of one might once again defy her parents’ rules. “Nothing wrong with sports, just hard to play soccer in a skirt,” wrote one commenter. “Is she allowed to play sports according to your beliefs?” asked another. “Love this. Start early!” a third exclaimed. Interestingly, Jeremy’s previous career — and his confessions about the life he lived as a college and professional athlete — are among the reasons that Jinger’s parents are less than crazy about the guy. “I was part of the college party scene and was not living wisely. I began sliding down the slippery, destructive slopes of lust, selfishness, and pride,”  Vuolo once wrote on his personal website. “But as my life in the party-scene continued to decline, my performance on the field, as well as the relationships with those around me, also declined,” he continued. “It did not take very long for me to realize that my sin was catching up with me quickly.” Jeremy concluded his piece: “My lifelong passion of playing soccer for a living began to dwindle as a burning desire to serve God as a preacher and a pastor was growing.” You would think that last part would be enough to endear him to Jim Bob — but apparently, it wasn’t. So you know Jeremy would absolutely love it if his daughter flipped a big middle finger to her grandfather by growing up to be a pious soccer star.

Ashley Martson Shares Rare Photo of Kids, Signals She’s SO Over Jay

Ashley Martson has clearly done a lot of soul-searching, self-care, and healing since Jay cheated on her with six side hoes . The repeated humiliations were a lot to endure, but now she’s focusing on what matters: her family. In fact, Ashley has even shared an ultra-rare photo of her kids as she spends quality time with them. Take a look: Over the weekend, Ashley Martson shared a photo of herself with her two children. Hands clasped together, they walked along the Ocean City Boardwalk. “It doesn’t get any better than this,” Ashley captions the image. Her tags include: “#fam, #momlife, #beach.” As always, Ashley’s children are not facing the camera as part of her efforts to shield them from her 90 Day Fiance fame. One follower asked why they couldn’t see her children’s faces. “I don’t post their faces. I wouldn’t ever,” Ashley replied. “I want them to stay private. That’s why you don’t see much of them.” “Where is Jay?” asked another — someone either woefully out of the loop or simply trolling. Ashley fired back with the perfect reply: “I’m sorry, who?” “You are a emotional strong, beautiful woman,” praiseda  fan. “Don’t let a piece of crap run you down.” “Thank you!” Ashley gushed. “He got me for a little but mommas back and better than ever.” “You are such a beautiful and strong parental figure, I hope you all had an amazing time together,” praised another follower. “Your health and kiddos are first,” affirmed a fan. “You don’t need the added stress of a player in your life.” “Keep doing you boss lady, single moms get all the scrutiny and have to be tough as nails,” characterized another. That same comment continued: “I am a huge fan! You are a great mom and beautiful person.” “I wish you the best… I wanted you to be happy with Jay,” expressed a follower. The comment continued: “I am sorry you got so hurt. Better you didn’t waste more years on him. God bless….take care of yourself and your family,” “Youre goodlooking and smart Ashley,” praised another fan. “You need to meet a man!” They suggest: “Someone with education and a good job and is stable!!! No more little boys! You need to be wined and dined no more kiddy s–t!” Counterpoint: Jay is a 21-year-old adult and women are allowed to be cougars and still expect fidelity. “Your health and kiddos are first,” emphasizes another follower. “You don’t need the added stress of a player in your life,” the comment affirms. “My wife has Lupus and Stress causes a lot of flare ups for her too.” “I was annoyed with on the show when you called the police to have jay deported,” admited a follower. They clarified: “Not because you wanted him deported – but because it was a petty waste of police’s time.” “That being said,” the comment concluded. “I do actually thing you are one of the smartest girls on the show.” “You don’t take anyone’s shit and lay down like a doormat when someone pisses you off,” instructed a fan. The comment added: “I hope you are free of the show now and can do and say what you want!” Now that Jay Smith is out on bail and living it up with his girlfriend, Ashley hopes that he’ll be more respectful of this and future women. That said, she doesn’t want anyone livin in denial about Jay’s immediate future. She doesn’t yet know the date, but she fully expects that Jay will still be deported to Jamaica. It seems that it’s only a matter of time. That said, 90 Day Fiance fans have been bandying theories about how Jay might scheme to stay in America — with the help of his girlfriend.

Meghan Markle: Feeling Trapped in Troubled Marriage? [Report]

When we see Prince Harry and Meghan Markle appearing at royal engagements and glad-handing with the peasants, the couple is all smiles. But according to a new report from Radar Online, the couple’s demeanor is decidedly different behind closed doors. Yes, it’s been over a year since Meghan and Harry got married , which means it’s time for breathless accounts from anonymous sources about how “the honeymoon period is over! ”  “At first the sheer excitement and awe of being part of the most famous family in the world is amazing,” a supposed insider tells Radar. “Every time you turn a corner you see another amazing person or building that isn’t just famous but is also historic,” the source adds. “It is like falling in love in the mansion of The Bachelor , far away from your daily worries of real life. “But soon reality kicks in and it isn’t quite as exciting. That is where Meghan and Harry are now.” Did … did he just compare marrying into the British Royal Family to making it to the finals on a trashy reality show? That’s like saying winning the Super Bowl is like earning the top prize at your local strip club’s twerking contest. Anyway, according to the source, the bloom is off the rose and whatnot, as Meghan is beginning to feel trapped by the pressures and constant obligations of life as a duchess. “After the initial excitement rubbed off Meghan has found herself mostly alone, stuck behind the Palace walls. It is incredibly isolating to be part of this family,” the insider says. “They don’t leave the house very much and don’t allow many outsiders inside the family.” The source adds: “The honeymoon is 100% over. It might look like a great life to all of us, but in reality, it’s like being in golden handcuffs.” There are two schools of thought on this situation: Some might be inclined to focus on the fact that America is a bit of a toilet fire at the moment, and it’s tough to feel sympathy for anyone who crossed the pond for a life of unimaginable wealth and luxury. The other holds that Meghan has entered a world where a bad curtsy is the stuff of national scandal, and that her fishbowl experience might be uniquely hellish on a day-to-day level. Anyway, this would be the part of the fairy tale where the discontented princess switches lives with some pauper, but we’re pretty sure that’s a tough maneuver to execute in 2019. Besides, it would be pretty obvious that Meg had returned to her old life when she started popping up on episodes of Suits . In any event, we hope that Harry is doing everything he can to make life easier for Meg during this difficult time. It’s bad enough that Samantha Markle and most of the rest of her relatives are absolutely horrendous people. She doesn’t need to feel trapped by awful in-laws, too.

Hannah Brown: My Life is Chaos and I’m Struggling

Hannah Brown is the first to admit that her life has been turned upside down . Her role as Bachelorette was not the journey she expected. Instead, she’s living alone for the first time, and she’s being very honest with fans. Hannah is struggling with where her life has brought her. Hannah Brown posted a lengthy confessional essay on her Instagram. “Honest policy: I’m struggling,” the beloved Bachelorette begins. She acknowledges that “Life is so different.” “Since last August, I’ve been a pageant queen, a bachelor contestant, and the Bachelorette,” Hannah notes. “I’ve been in love with multiple people, I got engaged, I broke off an engagement,” she recalls. “And I shared it all with millions of people.” “My faith has been questioned by thousands who don’t know my heart,” Hannah laments. “And,” she continues. “My transparency with my decisions has labeled me promiscuous.” None of her actions have deserved that label — though there is of course nothing wrong with promiscuity. “Simultaneously,” Hannah writes. “I’ve become a role model for young women and started bigger conversations around faith, and sex.” “I’m living on my own for the first time,” she adds. “And shuffling through this life of next steps with press, media, and opportunities galore.” “I miss my friends and family that have watched my life explode,” Hannah expresses. Living on your own for the first time is a big deal. That’s also a stark reminder of how young Hannah is. “I feel guilty,” she admits. “Because I don’t have the time or emotional capacity to fill each of them in on my life right now.” Hey, no judgment here. “I can’t keep up with the people that matter most,” Hannah laments. “Because I can barely keep up with my own life right now.” “I am not complaining about this past year of adventures,” Hannh clarifies. In fact, she notes that there have been some very positive changes. “The woman who has emerged would shock the mirror-image young girl from a year ago,” she says. Hannah acknowledges: “I have so many blessings to be thankful for.” “However,” she adds. “It’s uncharted territory for me, and it’s been hard to really process what the heck is going on.” “Maybe I needed write this out to remind myself I’m human,” Hannah suggests. “And it’s okay to be overwhelmed.” She adds: “And maybe, I just needed to remind you guys too.” “Life is beautiful, but wild,” Hannah emphasizes. “I think it’s okay to be strong-to know you’re strong-but to still feel weak simultaneously.” “I believe that’s when the magic happens,” she writes. “My spirit has opportunity to grow and blossom from this place.” “Healing and restoration can happen,” Hannah affirms. This is where Hannah begins to discuss her journey through the lens of her faith. She is a Christian. “I can rest knowing that My Savior has compassion and wants to help and love me through this journey,” Hannah writes. “I’ve just got to let Him.” “I don’t know if I have been lately,” she admits. “But I am now because honestly, I think I would give out if I didn’t.” “So yeah,” Hannah continues. “I’m not going to struggle to disguise my weakness.” “I’m just gonna give over the keys to my main man Jesus,” Hannah concludes. “And let him bless me through this ride.” In times of doubt and troubles, leaning on your faith can be a powerful way to cope. Good for you, Hannah. View Slideshow: Jed Wyatt Trashes Ex-Girlfriend, Really is Such a Jerk Face
