For several months now, we've suspected that confrontations between Jenelle Evans and David Eason frequently turn violent. Jenelle's 911 call from back in October provided a harrowing insight into the couple's tumultuous and likely abusive relationship. Evans later dismissed the situation as a “drunk and dramatic misunderstanding,” but domestic violence victims are often quick to defend their abusers — a fact that Jenelle's mother, Barbara Evans, pointed out during Monday night's episode of Teen Mom 2 . In a heartbreaking scene, a tearful Babs fretted over her daughter's safety and worried that David might eventually “cost her everything.” For those in denial it served as a wakeup call — and for David's many critics, it confirmed what they've long suspected. Take a look: 1. Better Days Jenelle and David’s relationship has always been an emotional rollercoaster, but over the past year, the marriage has had far more valleys than peaks. 2. David’s Downfall It’s been almost one full year since David was fired by MTV, a development that seems to have shattered Eason’s fragile psyche. 3. Horrendous Decision On February 14, 2018, David posted a photo of Jenelle shooting a gun just hours after the world learned of the deadly school shooting in Parkland, Florida. 4. Making It Worse When fans encouraged him to take the photo down out of respect to the victims’ families, David attacked them with homophobic slurs. 5. Self-Destruction David has remained unemployed in the year since his firing, and despite the fact that Jenelle’s role on Teen Mom 2 provides the family’s sole means of income, he seems hellbent on getting his wife fired, too, 6. Slave to His Emotions He probably couldn’t tell you why he does it, but David frequently menaces crew members during filming, making it impossible for them to prominently feature Jenelle on the show.

Source: skynesher / Getty An Ohio woman is making weird news headlines all over the nation after she lived with an IUD in her abdomen for over a decade. Back in 2007, Melinda Nichols decided she was done having babies and had the intrauterine device inserted…but weeks later, it was nowhere to be found. The New York Post reports: “In late 2007, Melinda Nichols of Chillicothe, Ohio, decided she had delivered her last child. She’d already tried the pill and a form of the Depo-Provera shot without success. So, a few weeks after her youngest son’s birth, she opted for the Mirena intrauterine device (IUD), a semi-permanent form of hormonal birth control. Nichols returned to the doctor who performed the insertion for a follow-up just a couple weeks later. She was told a routine X-ray would be taken to make sure her IUD was in the same place her doctor had left it. The X-ray showed no IUD.” According to the report, the doctor told her the IUD “fell out,” at which point she asked “Wouldn’t that be something I would have seen?” The suspect doc “assured her it can happen without notice, and suggested she get another one. Frustrated, she made the final call to have a tubal ligation instead,” NY Post states. Over a decade later, Nichols had another abdominal x-ray done after straining her back at work. “You need to call your OB,” the doctor told her, according to the site, adding “Your IUD is in a weird spot.” “Her X-ray showed that the implant had apparently punctured through the cervix and migrated up the abdominal cavity. Nichols was understandably baffled,” NY Post goes on. Apparently, this may have occurred due to an insertion by an inexperienced practitioner: “Dr. Stephen Chasen, a maternal-fetal medicine specialist at Weill Cornell Medicine & NewYork-Presbyterian, says IUD ‘migration’ happens due to ‘perforation’ of the uterine wall. This may occur during the insertion process thanks to an inexperienced practitioner. Or, the IUD may “erode” through the uterus and end up floating somewhere in the abdomen. This happens to about one out of every 1,000 IUD patients.” Last month, Nichols went in to have the IUD removed via laparoscopy. “Using snaking cameras and robotic arms, surgeons explored her lower organs in search of the rogue implant,” according to the NY Post.

Source: Shareif Ziyadat / Getty Instead of beefing with the next generation of Hip Hop, Jay-Z has been there to act as a big brother to some of the newer rappers coming up in the game. He put all of his resources behind making sure Meek Mill was released from prison last year and now he hopes to help 21 Savage . In case you missed it, Jay-Z called the arrest and detention of 21 Savage by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement “an absolute travesty.” “His U Visa petition has been pending for four years” Jay continued, adding that “in addition to being a successful recording artist, 21 deserves to be reunited with his children immediately.” See the official Roc Nation statement below. She'yaa Bin Abraham-Joseph ( @21savage ) is currently 26 years old, an engaged father of 3 children who were born in the U.S. U.K. born Abraham-Joseph has been living in the U.S. since the age of 7. pic.twitter.com/T2sfILYEF3 — Team Roc (@teamroc) February 6, 2019 Alex Spiro, the lawyer Jay-Z hired to assist 21 Savage moving forward, also reportedly told TMZ “We are not going to stop until he is released, bonded out or in front of a judge … What we have here is someone who overstayed their Visa with an application pending for 4 years – not a convicted criminal that needs to be detained and removed but, by all accounts a wonderful person, father, and entertainer who has a marijuana offense which was vacated and sealed.” Fan or critic, you have to admit Hov, who just recently launched a criminal justice reform organization, is about that action—and we aren’t the only ones that feel that way. Social media hasn’t stopped saluting Blue Ivy’s dad since news broke. Hit the flip to see reactions.

I have made a few mistakes in my life. Who am I kidding? I have made MANY mistakes in my life. And I ain’t even been alive that long. Some of those mistakes, I can effortlessly push underneath that figurative rug somewhere and pray I lose the memory. That way, no one else knows about the mistake. I can just act as though it never happened. And keep it moving. But then you have those others. You know, those other mistakes, which are a little more difficult to conceal. They loud. They make themselves known. There ain’t no running or no hiding from these type. Contracting HIV is one of those mistakes for me. This one I can’t escape. Sure, I could have kept the secret to myself. But in order to live healthy and well, I would have had to address it at some point. It wasn’t noooo hiding, shoving, or pushing this one, nowhere. I call it a mistake because I knew I should have used a condom. But I didn’t. I call it a mistake because people had attempted to guide me to safer choices. But I opted to do my own thing. And as a result, I contracted this virus. I contracted this dumb, stupid, ugly virus. If only I had done this or that, I would not be HIV positive today. For other people it may look like: … if only I had studied for that test, I would have passed that class. … if only I had ordered a rideshare that night, I would not have to serve the sentence attached to a DUI. … if only I had used a condom, I might not have contracted chlamydia. Look. I am not ashamed of my HIV positive status because, we have all made mistakes. They may not all look the same, but a mistake is a mistake is a mistake. Right? We all have done something that we wish that we could take back. The HIV mistake makes itself known daily. The reminder comes in the form of a once-a-day pill that I struggle to swallow. Other people may still be able to push their biggest mistakes to the back of their mind. I can’t. I gotta face mine. I’m tryna live and sh*t. Anyways, I’m sure that if we could go back and avoid making these mistakes, we would. And to me, that sounds like growth. So I must ask, what is there to be ashamed of in growth?

The 26-year-old rapper was born in the London borough of Newham to British parents, according to a birth certificate obtained by CNN . ICE says he came to the States at age 12 in July 2005, but didn’t leave under the terms of his nonimmigrant visa. His visa expired in 2006. Source: Arturo Holmes / @ArtuGraphiq According to TMZ , Jay-Z called the arrest “an absolute travesty,” saying 21 deserves to be reunited with his children immediately. He’s going a step further by hiring attorney Alex Spiro to assist with his case. “We are not going to stop until he is released, bonded out or in front of a judge,” said Spiro. “What we have here is someone who overstayed their Visa with an application pending for 4 years – not a convicted criminal that needs to be detained and removed but, by all accounts a wonderful person, father, and entertainer who has a marijuana offense which was vacated and sealed.” 21 Savage apparently had a visa permit pending for four years before he reapplied for U Visa in 2017. That application may have led to a background check which triggered his arrest. [ione_media_gallery src=”https://92q.com” id=”4070895″ overlay=”true”]
Lindsay means business on her new show Lindsay Lohan’s Beach Club which hit MTV only a few weeks ago. The 32-year-old is attempting to make a career comeback, not by acting, singing or politics, but this time by expanding her new business empire with the launch of ‘Lohan Beach House’ in Mykonos, Greece . Throughout the show, Lindsay manages 8 American wannabes ambassadors hired to work for the club and its restaurant. It is with her pretentious team’s hard work and cooperation that Lindsay’s vision “can come to life,” according to MTV. Lindsay, who oversees and is in charge of everything that goes down at the club, went into complete boss mode on Monday night’s episode. And not because someone spilled a drink or messed up a salmon order. But, because a physical altercation broke out between two costars! We all know how reality TV works, and we are not shocked by some violent, petty fights here and there. But, as for the “reformed” child star, she wasn’t going to stand one second of it. In case you missed it…which was probably because of The Bachelor , Jonitta smacked housemate Gabi after tension between the two elevated. And Lindsay was not impressed. After being a survivor of abuse herself, she no longer tolerates any negative or violent behavior. Especially from women and especially when they are representing her “brand.” Lindsay sat the ladies down to have a conversation about how she can relate and knows what it feels like to be angry, especially “in the past” after a drink or two. According to toofab , Lindsay is referring to her ex-boyfriend who allegedly assaulted her on the same beach 2 years ago. “I’m gonna try talking about this, to overcome all the stuff I was put through in that one moment means a lot to me and I sure as hell don’t want to send someone else home when you guys have so much potential and a great opportunity,” Lindsay says while tearing up. She then clearly expressed that “another woman cannot hit another woman. Especially with what we are going through in the world these days, they should be doing the opposite. Coming together and saying he’s not worth it.” Wow, I’m almost convinced that the mess that was once Lindsay Lohan may actually be gone . Thanks to Lindsay’s charitable conversation, the two girls made up and accepted their differences. For now. After settling the girl’s mindless drama, Lindsay pulled in the entire cast where she continued to call out every single one of them for not protecting each other. “The last thing we can do is hate on each other,” she added. Lindsay then went on to share a story about how she had her attitude checked on set back in the day. *thanks the producers for keeping the show somewhat interesting* “I was working with a woman and I was late to set one day on one of my movies. I was I think 30 minutes late and I was livid because she made a whole issue of it, stomping on set,” she said. “I’m not gonna say who it is, but it put me in my place. Don’t be 30 minutes late.” Toofab spills that the story was likely about Georgia Rule , where Lohan and Jane Fonda’s relationship suffered due to disagreements on set, aka…tardiness. Lindsay considered firing the girls at first for their immature behavior but decided to turn to Oprah to seek advice on how to handle the situation. Yes, I said Oprah. And yes, Lindsay should have gone to her years ago for some advice. The Parent Trap star then made the decision to keep the girls. But to scare them a little and keep them on their toes she hired two new servers, Kyle and “The Challenge” alum Kailah Casillas. The rest of the episode included moments of cast members Mike and May fighting over doing the dishes, and Sarah and Brent going at it again due to jealousy issues. The episode concluded with Lindsay assessing her employees, calling May “lazy” and Jules “useless.” Looks like someone may be getting the boot here soon. Watch next week’s episode to enjoy some more kitchen fights and Lindsay’s incredible dance moves. The show airs on Mondays 10/9c on MTV. See you in Greece!

Source: Prince Williams / ATLPics.Net Bow Wow’s Super Bowl Weekend was loaded with struggle. The one-time rapper and his girlfriend were both arrested after they allegedly got into a brawl over her talking to another man. Source: Fulton County Sheriff’s Office / Fulton County Sheriff’s Office TMZ has all the tea: Leslie Holden called Atlanta PD around 4 AM Saturday to report Bow Wow for assault. She told officers on the scene the whole fight started when they got home from a party. Leslie — who appears on “Growing Up Hip Hop” — claims Bow Wow was pissed she was talking to another man at the party, and lit into her about it when they got home. In the police report, obtained by TMZ, Leslie says Bow Wow hit her in the head, pulled her by the hair, dragged her from her bedroom … and told her to get the hell out. For his part, Bow Wow acknowledged being pissed about the other guy … telling cops she “disrespected him” by hanging “all over another man’s body.” He claims Leslie called him a “bitch ass n***er” when he complained about her behavior. He claims he merely told Leslie to leave their home, and placed her bags by the door. He claims Leslie “grabbed a night stand lamp and threw it at him.” He says she missed with the lamp, but scratched the hell out of his face … which is obvious in his mug shot. An officer on the scene says he saw the lamp on the ground when he entered the bedroom. Cops observed red marks on Leslie’s fingers as well as broken fingernails. From the looks of their mugshots, Bow Wow may have a case against her. Nevertheless, the cops pinched both of these lovebirds. The struggle is real.

Following his arrest last summer, Ryan Edwards checked into a rehab facility for a stint of 90 days. The time away cost the former Teen Mom star significantly, considering he missed the birth of his second son. But it was for a worthwhile cause, right? If it meant the ex-MTV personality would get clean and sober and be there for his family for the rest of his life? If it had worked out that way, yes. Absolutely. But a source now tells Radar Online that Edwards relapsed almost as soon as he left the aforementioned facility, a claim that does jibe with what we heard in early December: That Edwards was spotted out and about , drinking heavily. “He was good for about a week [and] then went back to hanging out with the same people that do drugs and go out in all the bars,” an insider alleges to this website, adding: “He wasn’t any better since he got out of rehab.” Earlier this month, Edwards was arrested on charges of theft and heroin possession . It marked the third time he’s been taken into custody due to drug use or ownership. According to the police report, Ryan skipped out on a bar tab of $36 after consuming six drinks, only to be tracked down by local authorities in Tennessee. He was placed behind bars and will now be stuck in county jail until April . Radar writes that Edwards “fell right back” into alcohol use once he was free from rehab last fall,” explaining: “The sad thing about our town is that you can go to rehab, but those same people are still here doing the same stuff.” It can be difficult to move on from your past when surrounded by reminders of it, this is so very true. Ryan’s wife, Mackenzie, has shared multiple photos (above and below, for example) of Edwards and their new son, Jagger, on Instagram, trying to pretend as if everything went back to normal as soon as he returned home. But it’s clear now this was a facade. Does this mean Mackenzie will leave Ryan at last? Is the marriage in jeopardy? Has she come to her senses? No, no and no, sources say. “She’s going to get over it,” this informant says. “She doesn’t care at this point. She’s all in with him.” That’s pretty sad, huh? Mackenzie may think she’s doing what’s best for her child, but is forgiving Ryan every time he messes up really what’s best for the family? It’s clear he hasn’t learned his lesson and clear he has a significant problem. There’s a fine line between being there at all times for the one you love and enabling a drug addict, you know? Be careful walking it, Mac. As for how Maci Bookout feels about Ryan’s latest run-in with the law? Click below to find out. View Slideshow: Maci Bookout Reacts to Ryan Edwards Arrest: D’uh!
