We all know that reality TV shows rarely depict anything that could be accurately described as reality. From the Teen Moms to the Real Housewives, just about everyone who's appeared on a long-running reality series has complained at one point or another about being the victim of a bad edit. It's a necessary evil, as producers are tasked with the job of crafting narratives out of raw footage and creating heroes and villains, while in real life, most of us are somewhere in the middle of that spectrum. The latest (alleged) victim of this trend is Ronnie Ortiz-Magro, who claims his implied affair with “Jewish Barbie” on last week's Jersey Shore Family Vacation was concocted by showrunners in an effort to provide viewers with the drama they crave. Take a look: 1. Ariana’s Parents Ron and Jen have certainly experienced some ups and downs over the course of their relationship, but they remain committed to making it work. 2. Rough Patches Ronnie and Jen’s impassioned confrontations have made for some of the most memorable drama on this season of Shore. 3. What Happens In Vegas … For example, who could forget Jen’s explosive — and unexpected — visit to Ron while the Shore gang was partying in Vegas? 4. What a Drag And of course, there was the incident in which Jen allegedly dragged Ronnie with her car — a confrontation that both sides now say was exaggerated by the media. 5. Even So … Jen has made no secret of the fact that she’s got a bit of a temper (making her a perfect fit for Ron), so fans have been encouraging Magro to tread lightly this season. 6. Enter Jewish Barbie So when Angelina’s friend Lindsay, aka Jewish Barbie, entered the shore-less Shore house and began showing an interest in Ron, there was widespread concern for Magro’s well-being.

Just one week after Larissa was arrested for domestic battery , she and her husband, Colt, are assuring fans that everything’s fine. The 90 Day Fiance couple are posting their love on social media, where Colt is gushing about his wife. In the mean time, Larissa is admitting that she did the show for the money, and asking for tips about getting lip fillers. Remember when Larissa first arrived in Vegas and complained about the desert heat? Well, now that daily highs in Vegas are in the 60s, she’s complaining about the “freezing” weather. But she and Colt also used Instagram to do a bit of a Q&A with followers. A fan who was very sure to emphasize that they weren’t being a hater asked Colt what he likes the most about Larissa, personality-wise. “I simply love her more than anything,” Colt replied. Colt was also asked what it takes to make a relationship work. “When I learn the secret,” Cole answered. “I’ll tell you.” Larissa also spoke to her followers. When a fan asked if she was now free to speak openly of her marriage to him, she answered. “After what happened Colt never told me, ‘Don’t post. Delete. Don’t talk about me.’ It’s OK now,” Larissa replied. Before their huge fight the week before, Larissa had been feeling hurt that Colt wanted her to not post about their romance. (They are on 90 Day Fiance and Colt wanted to avoid spoilers, but apparently Larissa didn’t care about that) After a sequence of unpleasantness, this led to police breaking down the door to their home, handcuffing Colt, and arresting Larissa. To hear her tell it, though, it may have been worth it so that she can post selfies with him. “Some bad things come to be good things,” Larissa says. Larissa also revealed that she was less than enamored with her experience with reality television. In Brazil, she says, she would have already gotten plastic surgery, including a boob job, if she were a reality star. Notably, she is asking fans for tips on where to get lip fillers and botox in Vegas. Larissa says that she would also have landed a new car by now on a Brazilian reality series. But does she regret going on the show? “I regret 50 percent and I don’t regret 50 percent,” Larissa answers. “There are good people and bad people,” Larissa states. “And good experiences and bad experiences.” She also went into detail about why she elected to appear on 90 Day Fiance to begin with. “First it was for the money,” Larissa freely admits. As she has discovered, the show doesn’t pay like the Real Housewives franchise does, but the extra cash is nice. “Then after all the s–t,” Larissa continues. “Now it’s for career, for my business.” And if she had a do-over, what would she do then? Larissa says: “I would try to live my relationship off the camera.” So, she’s complained about not getting instantly flush with cash by being on the show. A fan asked if she would characterize herself as a gold-digger. Larissa denies it, claiming that she is instead a “Cat-digger.” Colt and his mother have always had cats, and Colt’s best Instagram photos are of cats. (The true purpose of social media is to share cat pics; sorry, I don’t make the rules) Larissa shares that her dream is to get a Maine Coon cat that costs $3,000. That thing about cats and all of that gushing is almost sweet enough to make you forget about Larissa’s arrest. She was taken to jail for domestic battery, though Colt has not shared many details and insists that he is not pressing charges. Domestic battery is always a serious matter, folks. No matter how much someone loves cats. And then there’s how Larissa made Colt’s mother cry after their first meeting and the fact that she’s a deadbeat mom with three kids in three homes . Larissa is shaping up to join the ranks of 90 Day Fiance ‘s most infamous stars. View Slideshow: 90 Day Fiance: Most Shocking Scandals Exposed!

Source: NBC / Getty Smile racists, we see you! Trump Supporters Upset With Mariah Carey For Posing With Colin Kaepernick Mariah Carey has been having one heck of a week! After charting with a 17-year-old Glitter soundtrack, Mariah released her album Caution to excited Lambs and has been on an exciting media run. Now she’s gotten to meet one of her favorite activists. Mariah flicked it up with Colin Kaepernick and shared the photo on Instagram saying it was “such an honor.” Doesn’t she look happy??? Welp! Her fans who are also fans of the MAGA ruler were not too pleased with the photo op. Dozens of comments poured in from folks who called Mariah a “trader” and “disappointing” for siding with Colin Kaepernick’s politics . Did they FORGET she was BLACK???? Here are just a few of the STOOPID comments left under her photo: @bmorr110 @hesaidwhatowho all I said was this is disappointing, I’m a military family and there is many other ways to be an activist than to discredit the very men and women that allow you to even be an activist or to allow you to have the 5th amendment. Being an activist doesn’t mean you bring down others it’s supposed to help bring change, not more controversy. And that’s exactly what happen with this guy. @dewjnky16 Man Mariah! I have loved & supported you through all of your us & downs & defended you!! But THIS!!! Not NO BUT HELL NO!! USO TOURS or was that just about money???? @djjarvisreis How could u take a pic with a terrorist. @julieknoch Why Mariah? Why!! You’re so much better than to stand next to this man. Aww poor thangs! In the words on Mariah, “how about you GTFO!”
