Source: Handout / Getty Donald Trump Refuses To Apologize To Central Park 5 At this point, it’s been well-publicized that Donald Trump once took out a full-page ad in four NYC newspapers calling for the death penalty for the 5 then-boys, Yusef Salaam, Kevin Richardson, Anton McCray, Raymond Santana and Korey Wise, who were charged and convicted of raping a woman in Central Park. View this post on Instagram Mr. President @realdonaldtrump will you apologize to the Central Park Five? Posted @withrepost • @realdlhughley #This #TeamDl A post shared by April D. Ryan (@adr1600) on Jun 18, 2019 at 3:45am PDT Just minutes ago, White House correspondent April Ryan asked the President if he plans on apologizing for taking out those ads since the five men have been exonerated and the real rapist has fully confessed to the crime. His response shouldn’t surprise you, you’ve heard it before… POTUS tells @AprilDRyan he will not apologize for taking out a full page ad calling for the men known as the Central Park Five to get the death penalty. He says people on “both sides” confessed. The men were exonerated via DNA evidence. pic.twitter.com/BXvd4nIzXq — Yashar Ali (@yashar) June 18, 2019 Yup. You heard right. “Both sides” is back. Can’t the Secret Service take a day off? Just one day, that’s all it would take.
The past is about to come back and haunt Jordyn Woods. But at least she knows that it’s coming. In a new trailer for the two-part Keeping Up with the Kardashians season finale, viewers get to see Khloe Kardashian and her family react to the news that rocked their world several months ago. Yes, Woods really did make out with Tristan Thompson after a gathering at the basketball player’s house earlier this year. This scandalous incident happened long while back, of course, but episodes are filmed way in advance of when they air — which means Woods will once again be thrust into the national spotlight this Sunday night. Here’s a look at what’s to come: Keeping Up With The Kardashians Sneak Peek: Tristan Cheated With Jordyn! In a scene that totally happened naturally and which wasn’t at all staged, Kim answers the phone during a confessional featured in the footage above and asks: “What’s going on?” “Tristan and Jordyn were all over each other last night,” we hear in a voiceover. We also get glimpses of Khloe crying in bed, her universe simply collapsing all around her after discovering that Tristan has cheated on her. AGAIN. How does Woods feel about her most salacious act being brought up once again? She has no real choice at this point but to be as relaxed and profound about it as possible. “Everyone has their truth and their story, so you just go with it. Everyone has the right to speak their truth,” she told Entertainment Tonight this week about the impending finale, adding: “Life moves on. Money doesn’t stop. The world doesn’t stop. And hopefully, everyone is just, you know, going forward.” Woods, who has been best friends with Kylie Jenner for years, has admitted to kissing Thompson back when he was still dating Khloe. She has strongly denied, however, that she slept with Tristan or that she initiated the contact between their tongues. “Never once was I giving him a lap dance, making out with him, sitting all over him,” Jordyn told Jada Pinkett Smith in response to the scandal during an appearance on her Facebook Live show this spring. “We’re all together, in a group, never once did we leave the public area, go to a bedroom, go to a bathroom. We’re all in plain sight,” she explained of what transpired. Woods did confess at the time to sitting on the arm of a chair Tristan was sitting on and draping her legs over has at one point. “If you’re looking for a story, I can understand why that would be the story,” she said. “We all were just dancing and having fun … but never anything intimate.” But, again, Woods confessed to locking lips with the highly paid NBA role player. Angry at the time, Khloe, wasn’t buying any of it, Tweeting: “Why are you lying @jordynwoods ?? If you’re going to try and save yourself by going public, INSTEAD OF CALLING ME PRIVATELY TO APOLOGIZE FIRST, at least be HONEST about your story. “BTW, You ARE the reason my family broke up!” She later took back this last comment and placed all the blame for her family breaking up on Tristan himself. Where it belongs. Which is not to say that Woods didn’t eff up as well. Or that Khloe is letting her totally off the hook. “I knew who he was,” Khloe says to Kylie in a scene from this Sunday’s episode, referring to Thompson… and then to Woods: “I never in a million years thought that’s who she was.” View Slideshow: Jordyn Woods: Who is Kylie Jenner’s BFF (and Khloe’s Home-Wrecker)?!
It's been a rough year for Catelynn Lowell and Tyler Baltierra. Fortunately, Monday night's episode of Teen Mom OG focused on a recent highlight for the troubled couple. Back in February, Catelynn welcomed her third child , a baby girl named Vaeda. With all these two have been through, it was a joy to witness their obvious elation at Vaeda's arrival. Teen Mom cast members frequently complain that they're treated unfairly in the editing process or that the show only focuses on the negative aspects of their life. Something tells us Lowell and Baltierra have no such complaints about last night's episode. Take a look: 1. One Happy Family It’s been a long and winding road for Catelynn and Tyler. But finally, we got to see them enjoy a bit of happiness thanks to the arrival of their baby girl. 2. Baby Vaeda The Baltierras have been gushing about Vaeda and sharing pics on social media ever since the moment she entered the world. 3. Overjoyed But for all the joyous family moments on social media, few details had been revealed about the day Vaeda entered the world — until last night. 4. Completing the Picture As we now know, Vaeda has been welcomed with enthusiasm by her older sister, and she’s proven instrumental in helping Cate and Tyler move on from the traumas of the past year. 5. New Beginnings Catelynn, in particular, had a difficult time in the months leading up to Vaeda’s birth, but last night, it was all love and elation. 6. Ups and Downs After a year marked by emotional disorders, rehab, and even a trial separation with Tyler, Cate was back on top last night. View Slideshow
As previously reported, Bernie McGee died on Saturday at the age of 41. The Seeking Sister Wife star suffered a heart attack while out for a bike ride, called his wife, Paige, in distress — and lost his life before paramedics could arrive and save him. McGee was the head of one of the polygamous households on this TLC series, which was a sort of Sister Wives spinoff that sought to capitalize on the popularity of one of that network’s longest-running programs. His death, as described above, was natural. No actual foul play is suspected. And yet… Paige took to social media shortly after confirming the tragic news and hurled enormous shade at her own brother. Not merely shade , we should note: She flat-out accused her sibling of killing her husband. Back in March, you see, Patrick Marble accused both Paige and Bernie of harassing and/or stalking him. The couple was actually arrested as a result of this allegation. According to Patrick at the time, Bernie and Page flooded his home with calls and would not stop trying to contact him at work, either. He also claimed his girlfriend was targeted by his sister and brother-in-law. With their court date fast approaching, Paige now says such legal issues had an awful effect on Bernie, Tweeting that “the stress of going to court this coming Wednesday with fear of 1 year in jail wore on [him].” From there, Paige got very personal and very accusatory. She laid into her brother and did not mince a single word in saying Patrick is to blame for what happened to Bernie. “Patrick Marble does not know a damn thing about my husband or him passing. All he knows is what he is reading on FB. I have not spoken to him for any reason and he damn well better not come to my house!” Paige wrote this week online. She continued: “Patrick and my mother having us arrested for not doing a damn thing wrong did this! “We were financially put out for having to hire lawyers, investigators and missing work for this bullsh-t.” Paige (whose mug shot from her arrest this spring is posted below) also alleged that Patrick harassed and bullied her and Bernie. “[He] has admitted numerous times he would not stop until we were fired from the show,” she wrote. “Well, that never happened so he continued his bullying and harassment. Bernie has been under so much stress and the stress of going to court this coming Wednesday with fear of 1 year in jail wore on Bernie. “Bernie was so upset the day we were arrested because our sons had to watch us being taken away. Every night since then, Bernie has said over and over, the look on Johnny’s face. He just couldn’t get over that.” Paige and Bernie made their debut on Seeking Sister Wife on Season 2. Following Bernie’s death, Patrick told TMZ that he plans to drop the stalking charges and that he spoke to his sister recently to attempt to hash things out. But it appears as if she wasn’t interested in any sort of peace accord. “Patrick Marble… YOU KILLED MY HUSBAND AND I HOPE YOU BURN IN HELL… And you better stay the HELL away from me and my family,” Paige concluded. Yikes, huh? May Bernie McGee rest in peace. View Slideshow: Celebrities Who Died in 2019: In Memoriam
Kate Gosselin clearly doesn’t deserve love or companionship, but she may find both on her new dating show . But with all of the talk about Kate Plus Date , she has been slamming reports about a previous relationship. That hasn’t stopped her “non” ex from coming forward and confirming that they dated very seriously for two years. It was widely believed that reality TV villain Kate Gosselin had dated Jeff Prescott. Prescott is a millionaire philanthropist who co-founded Dreamstime. Kate Gosselin took to her Instagram Stories to claim that none of that is true. “I didn’t date him,” the walking nightmare insisted on social media. She went on to warn her fans and followers to never trust “people who sell stories.” We wonder how she defines her career as anything but that. Kate claims that “they are looking for publicity to benefit themselves/their business.” Saying that you dated Kate might get your name or even your business’ name out there. But will it help business? Some people might avoid it like the plague. Speaking to Radar Online , however, Jeff Prescott says that their romance was not fake news. They didn’t just go on a couple of dates. He says that they were an item for nearly two years. Prescott adds that he was, at one point, so serious about Kate that he went house-hunting so that he might live closer to her. Luckily for him, it sounds like their relationship ended before he sank money into Pennsylvania real estate. Now, house-hunting could be the actions of a one-sided man who’s read more into a relationship than is really there. According to Jeff Prescott, he and Kate were both serious about each other. “We were talking about our future together,” he tells RadarOnline . He even says that he and Kate were just about ready to go public with their romance. Just a few years later, and she’s saying that they were never even an item. Ouch. If push came to shove, there may even be a way to prove how serious they allegedly were about each other. Prescott says that he was prepared to do much more than announce that they were dating. He says that, back in 2015, he actually signed on to Kate Plus 8 . There, he would have played the boyfriend of the notorious mother. Clearly, those plans fell through along with their alleged relationship. Some of Kate’s suitors on Kate Plus Date have no idea who she is, which we suppose makes sense. (Who would agree to date her if they knew as much about her as the rest of us?) They have then been shocked to learn that she is the mother of eight children. Of course, that number doesn’t really reflect reality these days, does it? These days, she’s only regularly terrorizing six of her children. Two of them, Hannah and of course poor Collin, have escaped to the relative safety of their father’s house. Jon Gosselin’s not making anybody’s Father of the Year list, but at least he’s not an awful human .
Former The Real Housewives of Orange County star Meghan King Edmonds is enduring her husband Jim Edmonds’ ugly cheating scandal . Meghan opened up about her feelings, and her former castmates are sending their sympathies. Even Vicki Gunvalson feels for her — despite having once predicted the collapse of the Edmonds marriage. On Friday, Meghan spoke out about her husband’s affair, confirming everything despite his denials. “I’m sad,” she tweeted alongside a link. “I’ve written about it in my blog.” “I’m so sorry,” Vicki Gunvalson wrote in response. “You are right, YOU did not deserve this.” Some were surprised to see such a heartfelt and sympathetic message from Vicki. After all, this is the woman who once predicted to Meghan’s face that her marriage was doomed to not last very long. Meghan joked about passing Vicki’s predicted threshold a couple of years ago, and Vicki shared that she had retracted her assessment. As we reported on Saturday, Meghan King Edmonds no longer trusts her husband . This isn’t tabloid speculation — she said as much in her own words. “I found out the same way you guys did: in the tabloids,” Meghan revealed on her blog. “I never left a voicemail for the other woman,” she shared. “I called Jimmy and he confessed to me that he had exchanged lewd photos with this woman over the course of several months,” Meghan wrote. “And,” she added, Jim told her that “a physical relationship never existed.” Meghan writes that Jim told her that “He paid her off to protect me so I’d never find out.” “Do I believe him?” she asks. “I don’t know. Because I don’t trust him anymore.” “Physical or not, he still had an affair,” Meghan explains. “And he admits this to me.” “I refuse to be humiliated by this,” she affirms. “I did nothing wrong, I don’t deserve this,” Meghan correctly writes. “I did nothing except be pregnant with our twins,” she reasons. “And try to have a healthy pregnancy.” “So what is so broken in him to propel him to do this to me? To us?” Meghan asks. “It wasn’t one mistake,” she characteriszes “One lapse in judgement.” “I saw the texts – each one represents his decision to throw our marriage in the trash,” she writes. “Why did he self-sabotage?” Meghan asks. “And who sends nudies?” It’s not clear if she’s correctly shaming people for sending nudes while married, or incorrectly shaming people for sending nudes period. (For the record, they’re called nudes , not nudies , and almost everyone on the planet sends them) “Doesn’t everyone know better than this in 2019?” Meghan asks. “What drives someone to self-destruct in such a way?” “And all of this could not have come at a worse time,” Meghan writes. “Again, something I wasn’t ready to share but here I am sharing it,” she adds. Meghan announces: “we are worried our son, Hart, might have a neurological disorder.” “It’s been the most trying last couple months of my entire life and we still don’t have answers,” Meghan laments. “Sometimes I leave the house after the kids go to bed so I can drive around and ugly cry in the dark with no one around,” she confesses. “Now I have this to deal with,” Meghan bemoans. “My one true love betraying me in the most disgusting and public way possible.” “I do not fault any other person except my husband,” she emphasizes. “There are so many people out there with bad intentions.” “And it’s our responsibility to ignore and rise above,” Meghan correctly states. “One slimy person doesn’t make another person cheat.” In other words, she’s not pushing any “homewrecker” BS. “Ultimately,” Meghan expresses in her blog post. “I have hope our marriage can recover.” Vicki wasn’t the only former castmate to send Meghan well wishes. “Healing takes time,” Tamra Judge writes. “My heart hurts for you Meg. Wish I could give you a big hug.” “Thinking of you Meg. Love you,” comments Lizzie Rovsek. Gretchen Rossi expresses: “I’m so sorry you are going through this. Sending you all healing prayers.” We, too, wish Meghan and her children the absolute best. View Slideshow: 24 Stars Who Have Been Cheated On
Hannah Brown tried to be patient. She tried to remain calm and cool and collected, even in the face of all the pettiness and bitterness on display each week between the man fighting for her ring finger. But she finally lost it on Monday night. The latest installment of this ABC hit took us back to Scotland, where Hannah refused to give Luke Parker a rose after their one-on-one date, Much to the total chagrin of this front-running villain. “I’m shocked, confused,” he said in an on-camera interview, adding in extreme detail: “It never crossed my mind that I’m going to go home. Sorry. It’s a tough pill to swallow right now. I didn’t ever think this was going to happen to me, but here I am. “From the moment I met her, I’ve felt things that I’ve never felt in my whole entire life. Our relationship has been strong and our connection has been strong, and really, I care about her so much. “I don’t want to go home. Hannah was right. I have tried to be, quite frankly, perfect, and now it’s like my eyes have been opened. I need to fight for her because I don’t want to lose her. Nothing’s gonna stop me. “Nothing’s going to clutter or cloud my mind except for pursuing Hannah.” When Luke eventually got back in front of Hannah, he explained that the serious nature of their relationship issues “hasn’t hit me until tonight,” saying to The Bachelorette: “I just want you to know that I am crazy about you and I feel so strongly about you and I genuinely want to marry you. I could care less about anything. Nothing matters to me except you.” Is that sweet? Or are those the words of a stalker? Hannah leaned more toward the former, choosing to keep Luke around until at least the rose ceremony. “I’m pretty aware that every single guy doesn’t like Luke P., but what I did tonight by not giving him a rose but not sending him home was the right decision for me,” Hannah reasoned to the cameras. “And the guys have to trust me and to know that I’m doing the best for my heart, not just for that relationship, but for all my relationships. “Finally, he was at least meeting me where I needed him to. If he continues with small moments where he really did show himself and show true emotion and struggle, then that man will receive a rose every time. “But if by tomorrow he goes right back to the weird, robotic Luke that I have no connection with, then he won’t get a rose.” The other suitors all had serious issues with Hannah not kicking Luke (hard!) to the curb. Garrett asked the former beauty queen about it, specifically about whether Luke stopped trashing his fellow contestants as he vowed he would, and she replied as follows: “I’m aware that there are feelings about him from everyone. And I addressed that. And so he did say Mike’s name, but I do feel like I provoked it a lot in that moment, and I also asked about another situation, and he did say Devin and Dylan. “But I think it was truly having a conversation about something and I was the one that asked.” Despite this reply, Garrett went back to the suitors and everyone continued to slam Luke… which prompted Hannah to emerge and deliver the ultimate Bachelorette rant to each and every guy remaining. We’re just gonna publish the full transcript of it here, for full and awesome effect: I’m so frustrated about there always being fights in the house and it’s pissing me off. I don’t know what’s going on but it’s getting it’s getting really frustrating that there [are] always being fights in the house and then tell me exactly what was happening. I will answer any question about what he said to me and then you can tell me if that’s true or not and then we can all talk about it because it’s affecting everything at this point. I’m frustrated as f-ck. The thing I want to say to you all is stay in your freakin’ lane because I’m tired of hearing screaming. That sound you hear right now if every other Bachelorette in history standing up and applauding Hannah. After hearing Garrett and Luke continue to argue, Brown downed her champagne and marched right back out to confront everyone. “I’m a grown-ass woman and I can decide if I want to spend my time figuring all this out or if I don’t, but you’re not in my conversations with him, just like he’s not in the conversations with all of you,” Hannah declared. “Please stop pointing fingers at other people and allow me to do that and focus on yourself and what I need from you. “Everybody thinks it just Luke that makes me feel freakin’ psycho and irritated right now. It’s all of you, it’s truly all of you that makes me feel this way.” At the rose ceremony, Luke P. received a rose… because of course he did, right? So did Connor, Tyler C., Dustin, Peter, Dylan and Garrett, therefore sending home Devin, Kevin and Grant. However, Hannah did not offer a toast to her remaining suitors, telling them: “We have got to all get on the same page.” Will they, though? Visit our section of The Bachelorette spoilers to see what’s on tap and check out this intense trailer to see why Luke truly sucks.

Catelynn Lowell is in a pretty amazing place in her life right now. After a few hiccups, her marriage to Tyler appears to be in a great place — and the couple just welcomed another child into the world a few months ago. Her name is Vaeda . And she is pretty much perfect. But it wasn't all that long ago that things were a lot worse for the veteran Teen Mom OG star. How much worse? She once considered suicide . What was going through her mind at the time? Where does she stand now? Scroll down for the latest, very raw and very candid thoughts from Catelyn… 1. A Quick and Sad Refresher Catelynn and Tyler suffered one of the worst tragedies possible in late 2017. They lost a child due to a miscarriage. 2. Catelynn Didn’t Handle It Well We mean, no mother handles such an awful situation well. But this reality star had been battling mental health issues even before the miscarriage, checking into a rehab facility in November of 2017. 3. She Was Honest About Why, Too “Well today I thought of every way to kill myself.. so I’m going to treatment #makeChesterProud @TalindaB #KeepTalkingMH #thiswontlast,” Catelynn tweeted right after making that decision. 4. She Really Was in Trouble As maybe you noticed in that Tweet, Catelynn tagged the wife of late Linkin Park singer Chester Bennington… and Bennington took his own life in July of 2017 at the age of 41. 5. Has Catelynn Opened Up About This Low Point Before? Yes. She spoke on air to Dr. Drew about it in April 2018, admitting at the time of her thought process: “If I don’t go somewhere else today, I’m going to off myself and life would be 10 times better.” 6. Added Catelynn in This Interview: “I could picture myself driving into an electrical pole off the road, praying it would kill me. But I wouldn’t do it because I had my kid in the backseat.” View Slideshow
This not exactly just in: Geno Doak is in need of some serious professional help. We don’t say this as a form of judgment, and we don’t even say it due to Doak’s extensive history of breaking the law . We say it because… HOLY HELL… have you seen the video below?!? TMZ has obtained footage shot by a neighbor of June Shannon in Alabama — and while it’s unclear exactly when the video was shot, it’s pretty darn evident just what is featured in the video. And it’s downright disturbing. According to the aforementioned celebrity gossip website, this footage started rolling shortly after Doak crashed his SUV into the garage of the home he shares with Shannon. He honks the horn in order to get June’s attention and then we see the reality star emerge in a purple nightgown. From there, Shannon does the best she can to guide a very, very (VERY) inebriated Doak into the house, but he can barely stand or walk. His pants are also falling off. At one point, Mama June attempts to pull Doak’s shorts up, but he slaps her hand away and begins punching the windows of the vehicle. The guy is a total and complete mess, which might be funny and might just be something to mock… except that he had just been behind the wheel moments earlier. He could have killed someone. Geno Doak Drives Car Into Garage: Watch the Footage! Doak and Shannon have been together for years. The relationship has always seemed unhealthy for both parties (not to mention June’s kids), but it’s seemed especially horrid of late. In mid-March, Shannon was arrested for crack cocaine possession , while Doak was arrested for domestic violence, after the two got into a major altercation in a gas station parking lot. Within 24 hours of this incident, however, and despite a judge ordering Doak to stay away from Shannon, the couple was back together and spotted at a casino together. A month later, reports surfaced that Doak had been cheating on Shannon , sending lewd texts to a woman he was hoping to sleep with… even while lying in bed with his girlfriend. The guy seriously sucks. Shannon’s family has reportedly been concerned with her relationship with Doak following their arrests and these allegations of dishonesty and infidelity. During the season finale of Mama June: From Not to Hot , viewers saw Shannon’s family try to get the 39-year-old reality star to go to rehab. But she was having none of it . In a clip, Shannon can be seen rejecting her family’s pleas to get away from Doak and get into a facility of some kind, making it evident that she’s in complete denial. And it’s getting dangerous for all involved. “If you touch me, I swear to God,” Shannon can be heard screaming at one point below. June Shannon Begged by Daughter to Seek Help: Do You Want to DIE?!? Check out the sneak peek above and then join us in begging with Shannon. Heck, pleading with Shannon. You have kids. Get them, and yourself, as far away from Geno Doak as humanly possible.
Twenty-five years ago today, police pursued O.J. Simpson and friend A.C. Cowling were pursued through the streets of Los Angeles in Simpson’s now-infamous white Ford Bronco. The rest, as they say, is history. The chase led to an arrest, a shocking acquittal, a miniseries in which Ross from Friends says “Juice” a lot , and now … the most bonkers social media account on the World Wide Web. Yes, if you spent any time on Twitter this weekend, you probably noticed that O.J. was one of the site’s top trends. The sudden resurgence in popularity was not due to the former running back rushing off to the big endzone in the sky, as many initially assumed, but was instead a result of Simpson’s terrifying message to the world: O.J. Simpson Comes to Twitter! “Hey Twitter World, this is yours truly,” Simspson told fans in the video above, which was his first post to the micro-blogging platform. “Now, coming soon to Twitter, you’ll get to read my thoughts and opinions on just about everything,” the accused murderer cautioned. “Now, there’s a lot of fake OJ accounts out there. “So this one—@TheRealOJ32—is the only official one. So, this should be a lot of fun. I’ve got a little getting even to do. So God bless. Take care.” Yes, like just about every other pop cultural artifact from the ’90s, O.J. is back and bigger than ever these days. But unlike the Spice Girls or Full House , Simpson very likely snuffed out two human lives. As for what O.J. means by “getting even,” well — we suppose we’ll have to wait in terror to find out. Of course, as many fans have pointed out, Simpson doesn’t mess around when it comes to exacting revenge. In all likelihood, Simpson would’ve caught flak for joining Twitter at any point — what with that nasty business involving his butchered ex-wife and all. But the 71-year-old has really incurred the wrath of the internet by making his announcement so close to the 25th anniversary of the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman. Those hoping that Simpson will address his alleged crimes are likely to be disappointed, as O.J. says the topic is no longer up for discussion. “My family and I have moved on to what we call the ‘no negative zone,'” he said in a recent interview. “We focus on the positives.” Yeah, you wouldn’t want to traumatize your kids by talking about their mother’s murder. That could really mess them up!
