Mary Duggar Dies; Family Mourns Passing of Beloved Matriarch

With Duggar women scheduled to bring a new life into the world this year, the famous family was hit with some news of the opposite kind over the weekend. Some very awful and sad news involving death, that is: Mary Duggar has passed away. The mother of Jim Bob Duggar, Mary was often featured on both 19 Kids and Counting and its ongoing spinoff, Counting On. We’re still waiting to learn details of how and why she died, but it appears to have been a sudden and unexpeted tragedy, simply based on the way various loved ones reacted yesterday on social media. “We are so sad to share that Grandma Duggar (Mary) passed away Sunday afternoon, June 9th, 2019,” a message shared on the family’s official Facebook page reads. “Mary Lester Duggar grew up in Farmington, Arkansas and was married almost 50 years to J.L. (Jimmy Lee) Duggar who preceded her in death…” This post also included the photo and above and continues: Mary found great joy in sharing her love for Jesus and her own story of how at age 15 she asked Christ to forgive her for her sins. It was at that time she committed the rest of her life to live for Him, a commitment she kept with devotion. She loved to share with others how they too could be forgiven of their sins, live a fulfilling life as a Christian, and one day spend eternity in heaven. Mary – who is survived by her daughter, son, 21 grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren – celebrated her final birthday on the same day Jessa Seewald gave birth to her third child . Along with her affect on her family personally, Mary is actually considered responsible for their success professionally as well. She allegedly called several networks in an attempt to gauge interest in airing a TV special about the Duggars many years ago. Wrote Anna Duggar on Instagram in response to this very sad piece of news: Great-Grandma Duggar went to heaven today to be with Jesus! What an awesome woman of faith and such a loving example of God’s love. She was a true soul-winner and loved everyone she met, telling them to turn from sin and trust Jesus for salvation! Miss her soooo much and we cherish each moment we were blessed to spend together! Lots of tears being shed here — grateful for all the prayers! Jill Dillard then chimed in as follows: My heart breaks. My grandma died suddenly today! She was an amazing woman of God and such a great example to so many! Grandma, you are greatly missed by all who knew you! She was a feisty, incredible woman who always took the time to talk about Jesus with everyone she knew! I know she was ready to check outta here and get her new body in heaven before the old one started giving her too much trouble! We miss you so much! Mary Duggar worked as a real estate broker (who owned Good Neighbor Realty) for most of her adult life. She was famous locally for this job, too, known for being the individual who put together the property sale for the John Q. Hammons Holiday Inn & Convention Center in Springdale. We will update this post with more tributes to Mary and more news as it breaks. We send our condolences to the Duggar family at this time. May she rest in peace.

It Be Your Own Kids: Elementary School Student Brought Meth To School To Report His Parents

Source: Daniel Kaesler / EyeEm / Getty Child Reported His Parents By Bringing Their Drugs To School One elementary school student in Washington brought a bag of meth to class to turn it into his principal. The young boy brought the drugs to Edison Elementary to ask for help, according to the Kennewick Police Department and now, local authorities are praising the “brave” young boy for having the courage to turn in his own parents. “We would like to acknowledge the courage that it took for this child to bring this information to a trusted adult at the Kennewick School District,” says a post on the Kennewick Police Department Facebook page. The principal and an office administrator were befuddle when the child handed over what appeared to be a small plastic bag of methamphetamine. He reportedly found the drugs in his home on Wednesday morning and ended up bringing it to school because he was “afraid to return home.” “This particular child was brave for coming to us with this,” said Lt. Aaron Clem of the Kennewick Police Department to Yahoo Lifestyle . “It’s difficult, especially for an elementary school kid, to report this kind of thing when it involves a family member.” Once the child provided additional information to a School Resource Officer about his parents’ behavior, the detectives went to his home where they found they found fetanyl pills and other drug paraphernalia. “I suspect that he had seen the drugs before, which is why he knew to bring them to school,” Clem continued. The boy’s parents, 29-year-old Jennifer Edwards 29-year-old and Daniel O’Leary, were then arrested for possession of a controlled substance and are currently booked at the Benton County Jail. According to local authorities, the boy and his sister have bpth been placed into protective custody and released to Child Protective Services. The Lt. said, “We hope that since he’s done this that he and his sister are going to live in a safer and environment and that the adults they get the help that they need.” The Benton County prosecuting attorney will evaluate the case later this week to see if there are any other possible charges, like child endangerment. Clem adds that he hopes that other children who may feel unsafe at home will feel empowered to come get help from any trusted adult. “If there’s ever any elementary child, or older, that sees something at home, they can always find a trusted adult— whether it’s at school, a fire department or the police department— and get the help that they need or with any concerns that they may have.”

7-Eleven Shenanigans: Lil Xan Pulls Gun Out After A Man Confronts Him About Calling Tupac’s Music “Boring”

Source: Gina Wetzler / Getty Lil Xan Pulls Out A Handgun During Gas Station Altercation Lil Xan pulled out a handgun and pointed it at a man who confronted the rapper about once calling Tupac “boring,” and now the incident is being investigated by the LAPD. According to reports and video obtained by TMZ , the altercation went down shortly before 10 PM on Friday in a 7-Eleven parking lot near downtown Los Angeles. The person shooting the video says that he asked Lil Xan why he “talked s**t” about Tupac last year in an interview. Things went to a whole new level when the guy called Xan a “b***h,” which is when he started shouting back at the guy, yelling, “What the f**k you want, bruh?? Get the f**k out, n***a!!!” This is when the rapper started flashing what looks to be a semi-automatic handgun as he walked to his Mercedes-Benz SUV with his girlfriend, Annie Smith. Annie joined in, yelling back at the guy, “You started it, you dumb f**k.” As the pair got into their ride, Xan brandished the weapon one more time. They ended up driving off without any further incident, but the guy filed a report with LAPD. As for Lil Xan, he says he only pulled out the gun to protect himself from an attack. He feels like the man was antagonizing him over a comment that was made way back in March 2018. He posted to his Instagram story following the incident, writing, “the media is gonna try and twist what just happened at a gas station, I was about to be attacked and resorted to having to use self defend, f**k all you old head a** b**ches still talking bout that 2pac s**t live your own life And stop picking on a kid.”

Source: Steven Ferdman / Getty For The Freaks: Twitter Reacts To Allegedly Leaked Nude Photos Of Dave East Someone must have a vendetta against rapper Dave East , because they’ve just leaked his ALLEGED nude photos.

Kylie Jenner and Jordyn Woods: Fixing Friendship Behind Khloe’s Back!

Early this year, Jordyn Woods was accused of kissing Tristan Thompson. Khloe freaked, and Jordyn lost her home, her reputation, and her best friend. Jordyn made it clear that she would always love Kylie Jenner , no matter what. And it looks like Kylie may feel the same way. … A new report says that the two former besties are mending fences, even if it’s over Khloe’s furious objections. From day one, Jordyn adamantly denied the unproven rumor that she made out with Tristan Thompson. She explained, in very clear terms, that she had been at the same party with him, sat near him, and that he gave her an unsolicited kiss. Regardless, Khloe’s wrath forced the entire Kardashian family to shun Jordyn, who had been like a sister to Kylie. This devastating rift seemed impossible to mend … until now. According to a report by Us Weekly , “Their relationship is on the road to recovery.” Jordyn and Kylie were so close before this debacle that Jordyn had been residing, permanently, in Kylie’s guest house. Days after the news broke about the alleged smooching with Tristan, and a heartbroken Jordyn was sent packing — literally. Fortunately, though she moved in with her mom for the time being, she has now secured a new home of her own. According to a source, Jordyn is “is so happy in her new house.” That is very good to hear. “She wants a fresh start;” the insider says of Jordyn’s plans moving forward. Jordyn has already come a long way, fighting back against being blacklisted, defending her name, and keeping her sanity. The source notes: “she’s proud of herself.” She should be! And while the report says that the two of them are slowly on the mend, they’re not joined at the hip again — not yet. “Kylie knows the separation from Jordyn will help both of them — and Kylie’s family — to heal,” the insider explains. That’s absolutely right, because Jordyn did more than just buy some real estate and decorate her new home. Jordyn has an upcoming role on the Freeform show, Grown-ish . “Jordyn has been trying to show the world that she isn’t riding on the Jenner-Kardashian coattails any longer,” the source says. “And that she’s doing her own thing,” the insider adds. “And living her life comfortably.” Proving herself as an actress is a huge step towards showing everyone that she’s her own person, not just a plus-one. It’s good that Jordyn is working on making a new name for herself, for multiple reasons. One, success is always its own reward, right? You don’t need an excuse to go into acting. But two, Khloe’s temper tantrum earlier this year shows the terrible double standard to which Jordyn was being held. Khloe — and by extension, her family — treated Jordyn’s alleged kiss with Tristan as seriously as if Khloe’s actual sister had done it. (Age is also a factor here, since Jordyn is more than a dozen years younger than Khloe and very much not her peer) But they didn’t show Jordyn the kind of patience or trust that they would show a sister. The minute Khloe wanted her gone, she was gone. Jordyn and Kylie coudl go back to being best friends, but Jordyn knows too much to ever trust like that again.

GTFOHWTBS! NBA Bans Warriors Investor And Privileged Ph**kboi Mark Stevens From All Future Games For Pushing Kyle Lowry

Source: Steve Russell / Getty Warriors Investor Banned From All NBA Games For Pushing Kyle Lowry Last night there was an incident during game 3 of the NBA Finals where Warriors investor Mark Stevens pushed Kyle Lowry after the Raptors baller had crashed into the stands. A “fan” making physical contact with a player like that can NOT be permitted and several NBA players including LeBron James spoke out on the issue to put some pressure on the NBA to react appropriately: View this post on Instagram There’s absolutely no place in our BEAUTIFUL game for that AT ALL. There’s so many issues here. When you sit courtside you absolutely know what comes with being on the floor and if you don’t know it’s on the back on the ticket itself that states the guidelines. But he himself being a fan but more importantly PART-OWNER of the Warriors knew exactly what he was doing which was so uncalled for. He knew the rules more than just the average person sitting watching the game courtside so for that Something needs to be done ASAP! A swift action for his actions. Just think to yourself, what if @kyle_lowry7 would have reacted and put his hands back on him. You guys would be going CRAZY!! Calling for him to damn near be put in jail let alone being suspended for the rest of the Finals all because he was protected himself. I’ve been quite throughout the whole NBA playoffs watching every game (haven’t missed one) but after I saw what I saw last night, took time to let it manifest into my thinking I couldn’t and wouldn’t be quiet on this! #ProtectThePlayers #PrivilegeAintWelcomeHere A post shared by LeBron James (@kingjames) on Jun 6, 2019 at 9:42am PDT The NBA didn’t waste time… Now the league has spoken. Permanent ban for GS minority owner Mark Stevens until investigation complete. @KPRC2 pic.twitter.com/5IkdNVVAeu — Adam Wexler (@KPRC2AdamW) June 6, 2019 …but LeBron still isn’t impressed. Ok cool but still ain’t enough! They did exactly what they had to do. Get in front of it before anyone else and plus there’s only 4 games left(2 max in GS). — LeBron James (@KingJames) June 6, 2019 We hope the league holds true to their declaration and keeps this soup cookie from NBA arenas for the rest of his life.
