Wendy Williams Relapses, Gets Rushed to Hospital in Wake of Husband Cheating Scandal

Things have gone from bad to worse for Wendy Williams. And now the talk show host appears to be in legitimate trouble. According to The Daily Mail, Williams was rushed to the hospital on Tuesday after she suffered a relapse just one day after numerous outlets reported that her husband’s mistress had given birth to a baby. That’s a confusing sentence, we know. But Kevin Hunter, who has been married to Williams since 1997 and who shares an 18-year old son with the television personality, has allegedly been having an affair with a woman named Sharina Hudson for years. This has been an ongoing rumor for as long as we can remember — and it’s something Williams has even remarked upon to her viewers. She’s never really come out and denied the affair; she’s simply said she remains committed to her marriage. But then Hudson reportedly welcomed Hunter’s child on Monday and this, understandably, was enough to send Williams into a tailspin. The aforementioned publication writes that Williams was given an IV bag that contained vitamins and minerals at the hospital after members of her team found her highly intoxicated. It’s unclear exactly what state Williams was discovered in… but it was clearly a troubled one. “She was in a bad way and disappeared from the studio after her show Monday,” a source told the Daily Mail website, adding: “She went back to the sober house only to check herself out and decided to start drinking.” Indeed, Williams admitted to her audience just last week that she was living in this sort of facility after a previous recent relapse. You can watch her talk in emotional detail about the decision to check into a sober house in the footage below, which includes a reference to her husband: Wendy Williams Breaks Down, Reveals: I’m Living in a Sober House Continues The Daily Mail insider: “It’s not clear where she went [on Monday], but she headed in the direction of her home in Jersey and managed to find alcohol along the way. “Word got back to the studio and there was panic and concern, everyone was looking for her, no one knew whether there would be a show today. “She was eventually found and was drunk, she was immediately taken to the hospital.” At least she’s now safe and hopefully receiving the help she desperately needs. Williams was spotted on the street yesterday without her wedding ring on, perhaps as a sign that she’s finally prepared to walk away from Hunter. As mentioned above and depicted above, Williams opened the March 19 episode of her morning talk show by telling her fans she had been staying in a sober living facility while she battles her addiction. “You know me for being a very open and truthful person and I’ve got more to the story for you,” she said, prior to delving into the details as follows: “You know [my husband] Kevin [Hunter] and I have The Hunter Foundation for the good of the people. We recently launched our 888-5 HUNTER number for those of you caught up in the struggle of addiction. “Well, for some time now, and even today and beyond, I have been living in a sober house. “When you see me come to work glammed up, right after the show I go across the street, I do my Pilates. I told you – two hours a day or [so], to take care of my body… “You know I’ve had a struggle with cocaine in my past. I never went to a place to get the treatment. I don’t know how, except God was sitting on my shoulder and I just stopped.” Hunter has said very little about his alleged affair and also about Wendy in general, but he did speak out about her sober living facility move , referring to her addiction and hopeful recovery as a “family process.” Those close to Wendy are praying Kevin won’t be a member of her family for much longer, however. “Wendy is considering divorcing Kevin,” says The Daily Mail, concluding: “She’s really distraught over the situation, she knew about Sharina but didn’t think a baby would arrive. She didn’t think Kevin would go this far, she’s lost and everyone is worried for her.” We don’t like what Williams sometimes says on her show, but we do wish her the best in this case. Hang in there and get better, Wendy.

Thomas Ravenel: Being on Southern Charm Was the Worst Thing I Ever Did!

Disgraced former Southern Charm star Thomas Ravenel’s custody war with Kathryn Dennis continues. He is attempting to pressure the court to forbid Kathryn from discussing the custody battle — part of her life — on the show or on social media. Thomas says that he needs this gag order, or Kathryn could make it look like he’s a bad person. According to court documents obtained by The Blast , Thomas Ravenel is doubling down on his attacks on Bravo. “The worst mistake of my life was agreeing to be the star of the reality TV show ‘Southern Charm,'” Thomas claims in court. That is a wild claim. Notably, he was arrested and will stand trial for sexual assault .  Thomas says “It amplified my past notoriety, showcased my wealth I accumulated through decades of hard work.” “And,” he claims. “Made me a walking target for men and women eager to get in front of the camera.” (Is that some Ashley Jacobs shade or are we reading too much into this?) “Most importantly,” Thomas says. “It caused embarrassment and pain to my parents, my sisters, and my children.” Thomas has accused Kathryn Dennis of using their children and custody battle for better ratings , and he is fighting that tooth and nail. “I do not believe Kathryn and Bravo should profit from this litigation,” Thomas insists. To that end, he wants the court to forbid her from addressing the custody battle in any way on Southern Charm  or elsewhere. “And,” Thomas says, Kathryn shouldn’t profit “from the pain and suffering it has caused me and will inevitably cause our children,” “Sealing this case will do no good,” he warns. “If Bravo and Kathryn are allowed to discuss this litigation on TV or social media.” “Bravo and Kathryn will be at liberty to control the public narrative of this litigation,” Thomas fears. “And,” he warns, both his baby mama and former employer could “shape the story as it suits them.” He laments: “and my children will bear the shame of being fathered by a man the public believes is a monster, an abuser, and a narcissist.” The public already believes that, for a host of reasons. Kathryn’ isn’t mind-controlling the masses. Thomas’ behavior on and off camera made that impression all by itself. “Bravo IS NOT a news organization,” Thomas has written. Literally no one is claiming otherwise. If you see Luann de Lesseps do cabaret and think you’re watching 60 Minutes , please get help. “It does not publish truthful information pertaining to public discourse,” Thomas repeats himself. “And,” he claims. “It has zero interest in broadcasting truthful information about the minor children, this litigation, or Ravenel on ‘Southern Charm.’” “Bravo’s business is not the truth,” he emphasizes. They are a television network devoted to entertainment. “It profits,” he explains. “From the dramatization and fictionalization of crafted, non-scripted events that it airs to the public as ‘Reality TV.’” Dude, you just described literally all reality television. Please take several steps back. Ultimately, it will be up to the judge whether or not to bar Kathryn and Bravo from any mention of the case. That would be a somewhat extreme ruling. This is a custody case. Additionally, one might argue that Thomas’ sudden shyness only manifested after it became public that two women accused him of sexual assault. He may have slinked away in disgrace, but Kathryn — whom no one accuses of rape — is still a reality star. Any embarrassment or reputation-tarnishing that could one day impact their children has already been done, right? View Slideshow: Kathryn Dennis: I Can PROVE Thomas Ravenel is an Unstable Liar!

Tamera Mowry Reveals "Encounter" with Jay-Z, Gets Swarmed by Beyhive

From '90s TV star to cohost on The Real , Tamera Mowry has experienced a lot in her life. But when she recently shared an anecdote about encountering Jay-Z and being overwhelmed by his “charm,” the Beyhive pounced. Is Tamera Becky With The Good Hair? We have included the video of Tamera's confession. Before we get into what was said, we just want to point out that it is vital that you watch Loni Love's face as Tamera tells her story. “I've actually met JAY-Z in person,” Tamera reveals to her co-stars on The Real . “And,” Temera notes. “He wasn't with Beyonce at the time, and I wasn't dating anybody and when I met him.” We'll get into that and whether or not it was true in a moment. “You do get like hit with the charm,” Tamera reveals of her experience with Jay-Z. There's more to star power and rumors of a massive penis to the rapper. He has a lot of charisma. Tamera reveals that she was so overwhelmed by the encounter that she said the strangest thing. “I found myself strangely asking for gum,” she admits. “It's so weird! I swear.” None of us know what we would say if we became starstruck. So how and where did this happen? “My sister and I were at a premiere of Nutty Professor and he walked by,” Tamera shares. She continues: “And I was like 'Oh my God that’s JAY-Z!'” “I was like, 'Can I have some gum?'” she confesses. “And,” she adds. “He gave me some gum.” Loni Love wasn't the only one who appeared concerned while Tamera was telling this story. In Lemonade and 4:44 , Beyonce and Jay-Z laid bare their relationship problems, which were largely rooted in Jay-Z's cheating. “I was 23!” Tamera quickly clarifies. “I hadn't even met [my husband] Adam [Housley],” she notes. Tamera emphasizes: “Adam wasn't even in the picture.” So Tamera wants to make it extremely clear that she was not cheating and neither was Jay-Z. That did not stop the Beyhive from swarming all over this video. Any woman mentioning Jay-Z risks being labeled Becky With The Good Hair. To be clear, though, the only thing that Tamera received from the rapper was his gum. G-U-M. With a G. We mentioned that we would go over this timeline a bit. Tamera turns 41 this summer, so 18 years ago, when she was 23, would have been 2001. We assume that she is referring to the premiere of  Nutty Professor II: The Klumps , which came out in 2000. (Yes, we looked that up so that you won't have to and only our Google search history will judge us for it; you're welcome) So she would have just turned 22 when the film premiered. So … Beyonce may have not been physically by Jay-Z's side. But though the timeline of when they first met (he insists that it was when she was 18) is a little murky, both say that they met in the late 1990s. That would have to have been before this premiere event. Which would be a big deal … if anything aside from an exchange of chewing gum had taken place. The beyhive can save their stingers for a more deserving victim, okay?

Farrah Abraham: God, I Work SO Hard!

Farrah Abraham has often been criticized for being a bad mother. This is what happens when you work in the world of amateur adult entertainment and also when you pose your 10-year old daughter in underwear for the whole world to see. Along these lines, the former Teen Mom star confessed in a recent YouTube vlog that she actually does have some room to improve as a parent — but not for any of the reasons you may think. Not because she goes around exploiting her daughter, Sophia, or anything like that. But because she hasn't done a sufficint job teaching Sophia about having a strong work ethic, the sort of worth ethic she, Farrah, has always possessed. Yes, Abraham is serious. Scroll down to learn her thoughts on this matter… 1. Farrah and Sophia Have an Interesting Relationship Farrah has said her child likes to snap pictures of her mom posing nude… has dressed Sophia up in inappropriate outfits… and has generally acted as if Sophia is her little play thing, with which she can do anything as long as it garners her attention. 2. We Make Fun of Farrah Often for This Relationship But she’s never placed Sophia in danger and the two do seem to be very close. 3. HOWEVER… … there have been signs of tension between mother and daughter. During a recent Instagram Live video, Sophia was heard telling her mom: “You just like to lie on social media. And you like to gossip about me on Live all the time.” 4. Take It Away, Farrah On a March 19, vlog, Farrah said the following: “I’m doing this TV project right now and I got to learn so much more about my daughter, Sophia, and how I always feel like as mom — I’m kind of speaking to moms, some of you aren’t parents, I get it.” 5. I’m SO Great, But… “But there’s, like, this whole thing where you feel like you’ve shared all that you can share and you feel like you’ve helped all that you can help like with your kids. I feel like I’m an amazing mom but here’s the thing.” 6. A Revelation! “I had kind of a breakdown today, literally like lost it, because Sophia, like, totally forgot that I went to college. She totally forgot, like, what I have my degrees in.” (Editor’s Note: We also forgot this.) View Slideshow

Jinger Duggar: Why Is She So Beloved By Fans?

Even among their most devoted fans, the Duggar family is a controversial bunch. In the most Duggar-obsessed corners of the internet, you’ll find heated debates about everything from Jill’s inability to homeschool her kids to Jessa’s famously unhealthy cooking. And of course, there’s still a good deal of talk about the major Duggar scandals — the ones that almost brought the family’s lucrative media empire crashing down. But strangely, one member of the family seems oddly immune to the daily avalanche of Duggar criticism. We’re talking, of course, about Jinger Duggar. Some might argue that Jana is more popular with fans, but that seems to be primarily a result of the fact that her decision to remain single has become an object of obsession. The unabashed love for Jinger that’s apparent in every Duggar message board seems to be a result purely of her ability to capture the public’s imagination. Jinger is the family rebel, and as a result, she has an intersectional appeal among Duggar obsessives. The fundamentalists love her because she’s mostly stuck with the ideals she was raised with. Those who are a bit more wary of the Duggars’ belief system love her because she’s broken from her father’s extremist evangelicalism in subtle but significant ways. As you’re probably aware, Jinger’s decision to wear pants instead of the long skirts required by her family’s dress code was a controversial one. And that’s just one of many ways that she’s rebelled against Jim Bob in the years since she married Jeremy Vuolo. (The couple has already relocated to Laredo, Texas, and there have been rumors of Jinger and Jeremy moving to Los Angeles , much to Jim Bob’s chagrin.) But all of this rebellion was done in such a way that Jinger never alienated her more conservative fans. She waited until she was married (and received her husband’s permission) before defying her parents’ dress code. She waited more than a year after tying the knot before getting pregnant — a major no-no in a family that teaches women that procreation is her primary reason for being — but she eventually embraced motherhood. There are several other rebels in Jinger’s sizable family — and she has several siblings who demonstrate complete obedience to Jim Bob. Jinger represents the perfect mix of defiance and deference, new school and old — and it seems to be that balancing act that’s earned her so many fans.

Jessica Simpson Welcomes a Daughter, Reveals Another Quirky Name!

It’s a girl for Jessica Simpson and husband Eric Johnson! The couple welcomed their third child today, and they continued the family tradition of non -traditional monikers. Birdie Mae Johnson entered the world in Los Angeles Tuesday evening. The big news came less than 24 hours after Simpson shared a pic of her massive baby bump on Instagram. She and Eric are already parents to daughter Maxwell, 6, and son Ace 5. Insiders have confirmed that baby Birdie entered the world weighing 10.5 pounds. A source tells People magazine that “Birdie” was selected because it’s a family name, and Jessica thought it “sounded sweet.”  No argument here! Pics of the new addition are being kept under wraps for now, but you can bet they’ll be published by People or another big-name outlet within the next few days. Jessica loves to share everything with fans, and she’s proven adept at landing 7-figure media deals. Simpson shared the news of her pregnancy on Instagram back in August. “SURPRISE …” the singer, actress, and fashion mogul wrote. “This little baby girl will make us a family of five,” she added. “We couldn’t be happier to announce this precious blessing of life.” Obviously, fans and media outlets have been watching Jessica’s social media posts very closely ever since. But Simpson says the most intense scrutiny came courtesy of her son and daughter. “The questions I get on the daily from Maxwell and Ace are hilarious,” Jessica said in an October interview. “They want to know every detail — like how milk comes out of Mommy, how the baby will actually get here and if my belly button is a speaker to communicate with the baby.” Simpson added that she and her husband “are constantly cracking up and trying to figure out how to be honest … but not traumatize them or the friends and teachers we know they are sharing every detail with!” According to People , Simpson first revealed the baby’s name to family and friends at a “Birdie’s nest” themed baby shower back in January. “It was a great day. Jessica is feeling very loved and she is ready for [Birdie] to come,” a said one attendee. “She felt very loved, surrounded by her closest friends and her mom and her sister.” Our sincere congratulations go out to Jessica and her entire flock!

Katherine Brooks, Married Georgia Teacher, Arrested For Banging Student During "Tutoring"

It has happened yet again — another teacher has been arrested after being accused of sexually preying upon an underage student. This time, it was a Georgia-based physical education teacher. She has resigned from her job, but she’s certainly not out of the woods yet. Sarah Katherine Brooks is a physical education teacher in Georgia. Or, at least, she was . Until very recently, Brooks taught at Archer High School, located about an hour east of Atlanta. She is accused of sexually preying upon one of her underage students. According to the mother of a 17-year-old student, she would have sex with the student during off-campus “tutoring” sessions. According to the affidavit, Brooks “did, while employed as a teacher, engage in sexual contact with the victim.” The accusation continues: “who said accused knew or should have known was a student enrolled at the same school.” On Friday, March 15, she was actually charged with a crime. She faces a charge of felony sexual assault by persons with supervisory or disciplinary authority. The significance of that is that the teen is not only a minor, but someone over whom she wielded power. Hypothetically, a teacher can leverage their relative power in a sexual relationship with a student. This should never happen. According to the allegations, Brooks and her alleged victim had sex at least three times since October. One of those incidents allegedly took place at the 17-year-old teen’s family home. The victim’s mother was at work at the time. Brooks was released on $11,200 bond. As if the current situation were not enough, 25-year-old Brooks is also married. Archer High School principal Ken Johnson sent home a letter to parents about the incident. “On Monday we received a report about this situation,” the letter begins. “And,” Johnson writes. “Our school immediately contacted the police and the school district’s Division of Human Resources.” “As this has been and continues to be an active police investigation,” the letter notes. “There are not many details I can share.” “However,” Johnson promises. “I can tell you that the teacher has resigned from Gwinnett County Public Schools.” “The school system will be forwarding information about these allegations to the Professional Standards Commission,” the letter adds. “While this is not a situation we have experienced at our school previously,” Johnson notes. “One time is too many.” For the record, just because a district has no record of this happening does not mean that it has never happened. “Ethics matter,” the letter affirms. “And the trust our community places in its educators matters to Archer and to Gwinnett County Public Schools.” “This is not something we take for granted,” the principal concludes.

Khloe Kardashian on Tristan Thompson: At Least I Got a Baby Out of Him!

As you’ve probably heard by now, Tristan Thompson was caught cheating on Khloe Kardashian again last month. Granted, this time she wasn’t pregnant with his child, but the betrayal was exacerbated by the fact that Tristan slept with Jordyn Woods, the longtime best friend of Khloe’s younger sister, Kylie Jenner. As we creep up on the 12-month anniversary of Tristan’s first cheating scandal, we think it’s safe to say the past year has been quite an emotional roller coaster for Khloe. Tristan put the beloved reality star through the wringer on multiple occasions, and he’s deservedly become one of the most hated men in America as a result. But according to Khloe herself, there’s one silver lining that’s made this entire mess worthwhile. On Tuesday, a fan tweeted a moving message of support to Khloe: “I genuinely hope @khloekardashian meets someone one day that treats her with the respect she deserves,” the user wrote. “She’s been through more shiddy [sic] relationships than any one person deserves. At least she got baby True.” Aside from the time she bashed Jordyn on Twitter, Khloe has mostly been silent about her ex’s infidelities. But this time, she was quick to respond with a tweet that gave fans the impression that Khloe’s future is still looking bright: “Baby True made it all worth it,” she replied. “She is my heart and soul,” Khloe added. “I get so excited for every little day with her.” We don’t need to tell you that Khloe has been in the news a lot lately. And yet, despite the constant coverage and the endless scrutiny of her social media pages, we very rarely hear anything about Khloe that inspires hope that she’ll persevere. And that’s odd, because for years, Khloe has been regarded as the most resilient of her sisters, a figure who inspired millions with emotional toughness. So here’s the long-awaited reminder that that toughness has remained intact throughout all of this. Khloe has been through the fire these past 12 months, there’s no doubt about it. But adversity is the only true measure of resilience, and we’re sure many Khloe fans have gained even greater respect for their favorite Kardashian.
