Source: Gabe Ginsberg / Getty In March, singer Monica filed for divorce from husband Shannon Brown after more than eight years together. Since the news broke, parties involved have been pretty mum about it. Monica has been accused of being too mum , actually. However, the star decided to break her silence on this week’s episode of T.I. & Tiny: Friends and Family Hustle.  In a clip from the episode, the 38-year-old mother of three sat with her mom Marilyn and a therapist. In the presence of both women, she revealed the toll her recent split has had on her.

I had two children. I stayed in that relationship a long time, and he was a loss on both levels,” she said when speaking on her ex, Rodney ‘Rocko’ Hill. “Then I finally met my husband and then I had my daughter, and it was good that he was athletic like the boys, so they had their own bond; and then now that’s a loss. It’s been some rough weeks these last few weeks.” While, of course, the star didn’t go into detail about why things didn’t work out (there were rumors of infidelity and Brown rarely appeared on Friends and Family Hustle ), she said in a confessional that she was struggling to be okay emotionally. “Things in my personal life have been changing a lot, and it has not been easy,” she said. “I can not lie. My personal relationship is taking a major toll on me. I’m feeling it every day. I’ve been keeping everything to myself and I feel overwhelmed.” The best way she’s managed to cope has been by not slowing down and wallowing in sadness, but by the end of the clip, she was in tears. “I’m everybody’s go-to, and I think it makes people think I’m pretending to be perfect when in actuality, I just don’t believe in pausing,” she said. “Cause it’s like you pause and you get stuck.” Sign Up For Our Newsletter!

Lamar Odom Confesses To Being A Sex Addict, Says He Smashed 2000 Women

Source: Nickelodeon’s Kids’ Choice Sports Awards 2017 held at UCLA’s Pauley Pavilion Featuring: Lamar Odom Where: Los Angeles, California, United States When: 13 Jul 2017 Credit: Adriana M. Barraza/WENN.com Look out Wilt Chamberlain, Lamar Odom ‘s looking to break your famous record of the number of women a pro basketball player’s slept with. Luckily for “The Big Dipper,” Lamar’s still about 18 thousand women from achieving that goal as People  is reporting he’s “only” bedded some two thousand women. People was blessed us with the exclusive excerpt to LO’s upcoming memoir Darkness To Light  in which the NBA Champ with the sweet tooth confesses that he’s a low key sex addict who just can’t seem to get enough of that poontang pie saying, “I have been obsessed with sex for as long as I can remember,” before bluntly stating “I am a sex addict.” To make matters worse, he doesn’t care who served him the goods and ate off the plate of both prostitutes and strippers. The 39-year-old reveals that he has had sex with more than 2,000 women. “There were too many strippers to count,” he writes. “It wasn’t a big deal, but often I would pay them. I never thought less of them.” And yes, this behavior was going on while he was married to Khloe Kardashian and she eventually found out. “I was shocked and embarrassed,” he tells PEOPLE in an exclusive interview. “I wanted to take it back, but you can’t. [I] wanted to hide it. But that sick sin was hard for me to hide … I had a problem.” His sex addiction got him to the point where even porno movies weren’t enough to at least calm his urge for physical contact. “[I] ran out of porn to watch! That’s how you know when you are going a little overboard.” Sheesh! You know how sex crazed you have to be to run out of porn to watch in the digital age? If this was the 80’s or 90’s where VHS and DVDs reigned supreme then that would be somewhat plausible, but in the 2010’s?! We ain’t judging though. Interestingly enough Lamar also blames his addiction to sex for his well documented drug abuse . “Sex was a trigger for me to do drugs,” he tells PEOPLE. “Because you double up on [that] good feeling.” Well, the first step to tackling any problem is to admit you have one so that’s a good thing, but while Lamar says he’s currently drug-free his need for physical relations with women is another thing on it’s own. “I’m still an addict,” he writes in his book. “I still struggle … [But] I will not go into the darkness. Ever again.” We guess 20,000 women is still within reach after all… — Photo: WENN.com

Wendy Williams Danced with Blac Chyna and Then Cried About It

We've been trying very hard NOT to make fun of Wendy Williams these days. In fact, we've been trying awfully hard to be as supportive as possible of the talk show host, whose on-air style and persona can often be grating and inappropriate… … yet whose personal life has been in shambles because her husband cheated on her for years and Williams ended up relapsing and living in a sober house as a result. That sucks. He sucks. And she deserves our sympathy. But you've gotta give us a couple minutes to laugh at Wendy's expense, okay? On Thursday morning, Williams shared a story with her audience about how she had gone out the night before with her 19-year old son, Kevin, and Blac Chyna, who had been a guest on her program one day earlier. Emphasizing once again how much fun she's having as a single woman , Williams explained to viewers how she's “got a whole new life going on” and expounded as follows when discussing her evening of eating and dancing: “Do you know that trick I do with my boobs that I’m not going to do for you right now? I’m not going to do it! I have on horizontal stripes, so it would be a lot…” Okay, sure. Yes, we guess. Go on, Wendy… “You know the music in the restaurant was playing and we were doing it to the music!” she added. “Everybody was so embarrassed, in a fun way! You know what I mean?” Yes. Most of us have been there. While talking excitedly about shaking her breasts and getting down and dirty with Blac Chyna, Williams grew emotional at the mention her her son standing nearby on the dance floor. “My son looks at me like, ‘Look at Mommy have fun.’ And I’m like, “Look at my boy over there. Looking at his mom have fun,” she said, her voice breaking. At this, the crowed cheered in support of Williams — and, look, we get it. This has been a very trying time for Wendy on a personal level. She must be thinking often of her teenage son these days and how he must be feeling in light of the non-stop negative news about his father and his parents' marriage. Still in tears, Wendy continued: “Just saying. I’m just saying. I’m not complaining or anything like that, I’m just saying. It’s just, like, nice.” Again: we get it. But we also have to point out that Williams broke down into a pool of tears while talking about grinding up on Blac Chyna. That's pretty funny. Watch the clip for yourselves here.
