Siesta Key Recap: Juliette Flips OUT

Juliette and Alex have been screaming from the rooftops that their relationship is in good shape, but the cracks started to appear on Tuesday’s episode of Siesta Key.  From them bickering over what Juliette would be doing post-college to another big blowout argument while out their friends, we think it’s fair to say these two are not going to stand the test of time.  It all started because Alex said that Juliette’s dream to manage a Pure Barre was “not realistic.” Yes, relationships are built on communication, but Alex made sure to shoot down Juliette’s ambitions before they became a reality.  While on a night out with their friends, the couple’s argument exploded and it was in full view of their friends and the other patrons of the bar.  Juliette asked Alex to get her some red bull and pizza, and Alex’s ego started to get the best of him.  “You literally have it so good,” he said to a stunned Juliette before he started listing the things he does for her.  Yeah, Alex is still the most obnoxious personality on this show, and when Juliette pointed out that his parents are very rich, he flew off the handle.  “You are being a brat right now. You wanna walk through the things I’ve done for you today? Literally, I do everything for you,” he complained. “You need to stop pinning nice things you do for me on me like I owe you,” Juliette retorted. “We’re in a relationship. Why do you have to start tallying the nice things you do for me?” But then Alex stuck the knife in further by saying his girlfriend does absolutely “nothing” for him.  Yeah, that’s what happens when she drives all weekend from college to come to visit your sorry self, bruh.  Elsewhere, Chloe finally confronted Alex about the way everyone reacted to her bringing his ex, Cara, back into the fold.  “I just never thought I was going to be on the outs with so many people in this group,” Chloe admitted to Alex. “These are all my best friends since I was like, 13/14 years old.” Alex tried to defend Juliette, but Chloe did not hold back about her feelings on the matter.  “Well I’m pissed at Juliette for everything she’s done to ME,” she claimed. “She was totally like…I’ve done nothing to you. Obviously, if Juliette’s not going to own up to any of it then I’m not going to own up to any of it.” Chloe went on to say that she was not trying to cause drama and that Cara was her friend.  Then, the conversation turned emotional when Chloe dragged Alex for what he told Juliette.  “You apparently decided to go and tell Juliette about how I used to be in love with you,” Chloe said while fighting back the tears.  “I just am feeling really betrayed that you would bring up some sensitive subject. You know how much it took me to come to that, so I don’t even know why you would use this against me.” They got into a heated debate, but Alex wanted to stop all of the arguing within the group.  “You guys need to start talking,” the rich kid said of Chloe’s plight to mend fences with Juliette. “You can talk to me all you want, but Juliette’s more sensitive than me, and you know that. There should be a way that we can all make this thing work,” he continued.  “It just seems like if you’re not pissing her off, she’s pissing you off. Here’s the bottom line: I’m putting together a trip to Miami for Juliette.” “If you want to go — you need to make things right with Juliette. If you don’t, then you can’t come to Miami. That’s the way it’s going to be.” Okay, what are your thoughts on the latest action?

Michael Jackson: Child Abuse Documentary Amounts to "Public Lynching," Family Claims

Earlier this month, millions of viewers were stunned by the Lifetime docuseries Surviving R. Kelly — which focused on the decades of sexual assault allegations against the singer. Now, it seems Michael Jackson is receiving the same treatment, via a four-hour documentary that premiered at the Sundance Film Festival Friday night. The film, Leaving Neverland , focuses on the stories of two of Jackson’s accusers, Wade Robson and James Safechuck. As the doc has yet to secure a distributor and a wide release, it has thus only been seen by a select group of festival attendees. But if their reactions are any indication, Leaving Neverland may contain another scathing new information for the King of Pop to be forever stripped of his crown. “It only takes about two minutes into the four-hour documentary Leaving Neverland to realize that Michael Jackson’s legacy is never going to be the same again,” wrote Benjamin Lee in his review for The Guardian . “spoiler alert: Michael Jackson 100% sexually abused a lot of children,” tweeted IndieWire’s David Ehrlich. Shortly after the film’s release, Jackson’s estate issued a strongly-worded statement that was published in full on Rolling Stone ‘s website: According to Jackson’s reps, the film constitutes “the kind of tabloid character assassination Michael Jackson endured in life, and now in death.” The statement continues: “The film takes uncorroborated allegations that supposedly happened 20 years ago and treats them as fact.” Now, Jackson’s family is also hitting back with a statement that questions both the integrity and the intentions of the filmmakers. “The truth is on our side,” writes the family. “Go do your research about these opportunists. The facts don’t lie, people do.” The statement continues: “We are furious that the media, who without a shred of proof or single piece of physical evidence, chose to believe the word of two admitted liars over the word of hundreds of families and friends around the world who spent time with Michael, many at Neverland, and experienced his legendary kindness and global generosity. “We are proud of what Michael Jackson stands for. “People have always loved to go after Michael. “He was an easy target because he was unique. But Michael was subjected to a thorough investigation which included a surprise raid of Neverland and other properties as well as a jury trial where Michael was found to be COMPLETELY INNOCENT.  “Michael Jackson was and always will be 100% innocent of these false allegations.” The Jackson family’s statement can be read in its entirety here . Sexual assault allegations followed Jackson throughout his career, but none of the many accusers were able to help secure a conviction. The Jacksons have decried the film as a “public lynching” of a man who is no longer here to defend himself, while others feel that Leaving Neverland might finally provide a modicum of justice and peace of mind to the singer’s victims. Many are concerned about the effect the film might have on Jackson’s children, particularly his troubled daughter Paris, who reportedly refuses to watch the documentary. We’ll have further updates on this developing story as more information becomes available. View Slideshow: Michael Jackson Accused of Grotesque Child Abuse in New Documentary

Tori Spelling & Dean McDermott: Locked In "Blowout Fight" Over Financial Mess!

Money can’t buy happiness. But, when it comes to Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott we might have an exception. On top of the couple losing all of their finances, their relationship is plummeting right along with it.  We learn from Radar that American Express Bank filed a ‘writ of execution order’ on January 4 asking the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Office Department to take possession of $88,246.55 that Tori still owes. AmEx isn’t the only lender coming after the family, Spelling and McDermott are also being sued by City National Bank for allegedly failing to pay back a $400,000 loan. As a result, Radar reported that the troubling duo had a “blowout fight” in the wake of their financial mess. Spelling “screamed at Dean to get out of her life and not come back until he gets a job,” a source revealed. “She is sick and tired of their financial situations that they can’t climb out of.” The couples’ last big fight supposedly happened a week ago, just months after Radar shared “that the 45-year-old reality star kicked her hubby out of the house during the holidays. It’s easy to assume Spelling is dealing with some denial and shopping withdrawals, but meanwhile, her husband has resorted to extra measures to try and save their family financially. He is working in construction while also continuing to look for work as an actor. Tori, however, “thinks Dean is past his prime” and should be looking for other forms of work. But, cut him some slack! It’s not McDermott’s fault that Spelling grew up “rich beyond anyone’s wildest dreams” and never knew anything else.  Like, how to pay a bill.  But after racking up seven figures of credit card debt, we can only hope that the couple will learn how to manage whatever money they do make it out within the future. While McDermott continues to job hunt, Spelling is desperately trying to sell her reboot of Beverly Hills 90210  and Deadline says its already in the works. The reboot is supposedly featuring a number of original cast members alongside Spelling, including Jennie Garth, Ian Ziering, and Brian Austin Green. We hope the show makes a prosperous comeback! Mainly so Dean can stop doing construction.  The opportunity may also give the parents another chance to try and set a good example for their five young children. You know, on how NOT to be absolutely terrible with money management one day.  Money may not solve all problems. But, in this case, it definitely does.

Teresa Giudice: Has She Already Filed For Divorce From Joe Giudice?

From the moment Joe Giudice began serving his four-year prison sentence on tax fraud charges, it was rumored that he might not be permitted to continue living in America after being released. The former Real Housewives of New Jersey star was born in Italy and never became an American citizen. As such, from the moment he pled guilty to a felony Joe became a candidate for deportation . In October of 2018, the judge in Joe’s case ruled that Giudice would be ordered to return to Italy following his release from prison. With the question of Joe’s fate decided, a new one emerged: Would Teresa Giudice follow her husband to Italy , thus leaving behind the life and career she worked so hard to build in America? Well, according to a new report from Radar Online, Joe might want to start working on his Italian Tinder profile. “She is talking about divorce, absolutely,” a source close to the situation tells Radar later that day. “There is no way Teresa is going to uproot her life. He did this, why should she suffer?” the insider continues. “Teresa won’t be moving to Italy with Joe, period. In no uncertain terms would she even consider uprooting her life with the girls and moving.” To be fair, Teresa was also convicted of tax fraud , but her sentence was much lighter than Joe’s. The couple received permission to serve their sentences successively for the sake of their four daughters. And Teresa reportedly believes it was all for naught if they force the girls to relocate to another country where they don’t even speak the language. Two of the Giudice daughters are attempting to start music careers , and Teresa is realistic enough about her level of fame to know that she doesn’t possess enough clout to help them achieve their dreams overseas. But despite rumors to the contrary, it seems Teresa has not yet filed for divorce from Joe. Instead, she’ll be waiting until Joe is released to begin the proceedings. We guess that’s the least she can for the guy after nearly 20 years of marriage. View Slideshow: Teresa Giudice: Filing For Divorce Once Joe Gets Deported?!

Justin Bieber to Accused Rapist Chris Brown: You’re the GOAT!

Justin Bieber either doesn’t read the news… … believes strongly and blindly in Chris Brown… … or doesn’t think sexual assault is a very big deal. Those are really the only options available after Bieber chose last night of all nights to shower Brown with the ultimate praise. Late Tuesday, Brown posted a video to Instagram of himself dancing inside of a studio. “We Working,” the controversial artist captioned this footage, to which Bieber later replied: No one can touch you ur the GOAT. (For the record, GOAT is an acronym for Greatest of All-Time. You’ll be seeing it used often over the next two weeks in conjunction with Tom Brady.) Now, yes, Brown is an amazing dancer. The greatest of all-time? We’re not about to get into that debate right now. Instead, we’re gonna debate whether it was really appropriate for Bieber to be saying such a thing about Chris Brown THE DAY AFTER HE WAS ARRESTED FOR RAPE . As previously detailed, the often-violent singer has been accused of taking a 24-year old back to his hotel room on January 15 and forcing himself upon her. The woman spoke to Closer Magazine after the supposed incident, describing it as brutal and violent and saying that it lasted between 25 and 30 minutes. She also said that she was “abused” by one of Brown’s bodyguards and one of his friends. French authorities presumably reviewed the evidence at hand and released Brown about 24 hours after taking him into custody. It’s conceivable prosecutors will still press charges, but it seems very unlikely at this moment. In response to the arrest, Brown first lashed out on his own via Instagram, referring to the woman who made this allegation as a “bitch” online and adding: WANNA MAKE IT PERFECTLY CLEAR…… THIS IS FALSE AND A WHOLE LOT OF CAP! NNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEVVVVVVVVVVEEEEEERRRRRR!!!!!! FOR MY DAUGHTER AND MY FAMILY THIS IS SO DISPRESPECTFUL AND IS AGAINST MY CHARACTER AND MORALS!!!!! Brown eventually deleted this image and this message, but his lawyer issued a statement that defended his client and also threatened a lawsuit against the aforementioned woman . “Chris Brown is free,” reads this statement, adding: “No lawsuits were filed against him. “He vigorously challenges the charges against him. A complaint for slanderous denunciation will be filed tomorrow with the public prosecutor of Paris.” As for Bieber? He’s been a long-time friend and supporter of Brown. Check them out in this photo from 2013 below: In light of Bieber’s continued praise for Brown, in light of this alleged rape and, of course, his beating of Rihanna, however… some folks are questioning Bieber’s motives here. “@justinbieber cancelled,” one user wrote in response to Justin’s GOAT remark above. “@justinbieber delete Justin,” another person wrote. “@justinbieber I do not know how the investigation on this case will go,” another person added. “But if it turns out to be true, remember that you commented.” We won’t forget, that’s for certain.

Kate Middleton Gripes About Life as a Mom: I Get No Support!

There’s a lot to envy about the life of Kate Middleton  She lives the pampered life of an A-list celebrity, but unlike the Kim Kardashians of the world, Kate isn’t forced to constantly chase clout by posting selfies or living her life out on camera. But while Kate has the option of hiding behind palace walls, she occasionally steps down from her ivory tower to engage with the peasants. And it seems her charmed life might be much more relatable than most of her loyal subjects might think. After all, Kate may have the support of nanny Maria Burallo, but she’s still a mother of three, which is a taxing job under any circumstances. Yes, Kate welcomed her third child , and she opened up about life as a mom while visiting the UK charity Family Action this week. “It’s so hard. You get a lot of support with the baby as a mother particularly in the early days, but after the age of 1 it falls away,” she told a small crowd during her visit. “After that, there isn’t a huge amount — lots of books to read.” No doubt many mothers can relate to the situation that Kate is describing. But the Duchess of Cambridge may have overplayed her hand when she stated that she’s in the same boat with every other mum. “Everybody experiences the same struggle,” Kate told the crowd. Yeah, not quite, Kate … That whole full-time live-in nanny thing? Yeah, most parents don’t receive that kind of support in their “struggle.” But despite some major lifestyle differences, it seems most of the young mothers on hand identified with Kate and appreciated her comments. “When she came in it felt like just another friend,” a woman named Dawn told People magazine. “She was really nice, she was easy to talk to and interacted with us all. And she listened. And when we got emotional she was a bit . . . you know! Dawn added: “She was saying we were brave to be able to speak about our stories and come out and speak about what’s happening with us. She was very compassionate. “I was scared – should I curtsy, should I say Ma’am. But from the time she walked in there was this presence and everyone just felt at ease. “She’s a mom and it wasn’t easy for her, as well, so it was really good [her coming],” she added. “That royal thing went out the window once she sat down.” So apparently Kate is one of those mega-celebs who possesses the mysterious ability to make the plebes feel at ease. We call it the Oprah effect, and it’s about as rare as royalty. View Slideshow: Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton Attend Church on Christmas: See! We’re Totally Best Friends!

Beth Chapman Shares First Post-Chemotherapy Selfie, Declares: Cancer Sucks!

Beth Chapman has shared an update on her health with fans. And we really wish it were a more positive one. On Tuesday, the Dog the Bounty Hunter star and wife to husband Duane “Dog” Chapman shared a smiling selfie on Instagram, including with this snapshot multiple hashtag messages, including “stay humble” and “pray.” Specifically, Beth wrote the following: #dogwgna history in the making #dogsmostwanted #cancersucks #stayhumblepray #itsonlyhair. This would seem to imply she’s wearing a wig in the image below, as chemotherapy almost always causes one to lose one’s hair. Beth was first diagnosed with stage II throat cancer in September of 2017. Two months later, she and her famous husband apprised fans of her status, saying the tumor had been totally removed. Tragically, however, the cancer returned the following year, as Beth rushed to the hospital in Los Angeles on November 26 for an emergency surgery to clear a throat blockage that was obstructing her airways. Talking last year about Beth’s initial diagnosis, Dog told Us Weekly how he reacted to the awful news. “I’ve been with her since she was 19, she’s almost 100,” Chapman said/joked, adding: “Every picture I see of us together, I remember where it was. It just makes all those moments that you shared love a lot more real when that could be what you’re left with: just the moments. “It was hard as sh-t.” Beth, meanwhile, spoke to Radar Online after her surgery and blew us away with her attitude. “I’ve stared down the devil more than once in my life but I’ve never faced a real life or death decision,” she told the outlet. “My life has never been easy, and I surely don’t expect it to start now. Still, I’ve never been a victim and I won’t let cancer beat me.” The Chapmans got married in 2006 after 16 years as a couple. Their family starred on the A&E reality series for eight seasons until 2012. Back in November of 2017, A&E also aired a two-hour special titled Dog and Beth: Fight of Their Lives, whch chronicled Beth’s cancer journey As of this writing, we don’t know how much time Beth has remaining. But she plans to make the most of it, both away from the camera and in front of the camera. Both she and Dog will soon return to television on Dog’s Most Wanted, their new show for WGN America. The 10-part series will follow the husband-and-wife duo and their team of bounty hunters (“The Dirty Dozen”) as they hunt the FBI, U.S. Marshals, and State’s Most Wanted Fugitives. We continue to send Beth our best best wishes. View Slideshow: Celebrities Who Beat Cancer

R. Kelly Hires Same "Fixers" Used by Bill Cosby to Silence Accusers

A normal person would not want their name associated with Bill Cosby. Not in 2019. R. Kelly is, by every conceivable metric, not a normal person. The disgraced R&B singer is  under criminal investigation , and he’s turning to Cosby’s “fixers” to keep him out of jail. RadarOnline  reports that R. Kelly has hired the same team of “fixers” that Bill Cosby had allegedly used to try to silence his own enemies. These would be professionals in a number of fields who might understand how to persuade multiple accusers to go silent or even recant. “They’re ready to do just about anything to get him off the hook,” the insider characterizes. The source continues, noting that these professionals intend to succeed “even if it means using fear tactics.” We’re not sure what  fear tactics  means in this context. But it could mean intimidation, routine harassment, surveillance, or even blackmail of current or potential witnesses. The disgraced 52-year-old R&B singer is said to have reached out to these “fixers” after the  harrowing documentary  aired. Surviving R. Kelly  paints a terrifying portrait of what it is like to be a victim of R. Kelly’s alleged sexual predation and his violent sex cult. Everyone is talking about it, and the public interest and public pressure have pushed law enforcement to investigate the creep. This has backed R. Kely into a corner more than any past efforts have managed. R. Kelly has reportedly vowed to “sue everybody” involved with the Lifetime docuseries, clearly hoping to silence his critics. Kelly was willing to do so much more than just threaten legal actions. As  TMZ  reported,  Kelly planned to leak the sex tapes  of the survivors who spoke out against him. A team reportedly working for him launched a website, ironically named  survivinglies . That is clear retaliation and sounds like revenge porn, which is illegal for good reason. The singer’s attorneys stepped in and closed down the site. “They were afraid of lawsuits,” the insider explains. The source continues: “especially after they learned the team planned to use it to feature a revenge-porn video.” This video, the insider says, would have been “featuring one of his victims consenting to sex.” R. Kelly has been accused of having used grooming, violence, starvation, and psychological manipulation to keep multiple women obedient and afraid. A video of a woman giving some sort of verbal consent would not have disproved any accusations. Instead, the tactic would have discouraged other women from coming forward for fear of having their own nightmares broadcast on the internet. But thankfully, not only were plans for the site scrapped, but even a Facebook page devoted to the site was taken down. “We do not tolerate bullying or sharing other’s private contact information,” Facebook explained in a statement. Facebook continued: “and take action on content that violates our policies as soon as we’re aware.” Legal prosecutions, especially of complicated sex crimes that took place over years and decades, can be difficult to prosecute. Additional witnesses may be reluctant to come forward because society and especially R. Kelly fans may not want to hear what they have to say. We can only imagine the sort of courage that it took for everyone who participated in Surviving R. Kelly . View Slideshow: R. Kelly Addresses Sex Abuse Accusations in 19-Minute Song
