Paul Staehle and Karine: 90 Day Fiance Couple Fight on Instagram Live

Paul Staehle and Karine Staehle are the only familiar couple on this first season of 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way . Unfortunately, some of their antics in real time — as in, over the past few days — have been a little too familiar for the comfort of fans. The two had a vocal fight on Instagram Live, where Karine accused Paul of “going crazy.” Where was their baby during this? On Sunday, Karine Staehle went on Instagram Live to broadcast a fight. According to witnesses who caught the video — only a fragment of which was recorded — there was a lot of “fighting and screaming.” As 90 Day Fiance blogger John Yates notes on Instagram: “Usually I don’t fall for Paul’s attention seeing drama, but she tells me it was pretty intense.”: “Karine went live on her account without Paul’s knowledge,” Yates describes. “Where he was saying that she was drinking alcohol and packing her things.” There was a dispute over the packing of bags and, eventually, Karine began speaking in Portuguese. Fans responding to the Instagram Live were, as always, begging Karine to leave Paul. “She was crying and visibly shaking while talking to him while his head was poked through the door,” John Yates describes. “There was a loud sound and then the live ended,” he notes. “Not before Paul reprimanded Karine for breaking NDA.” At some points during the video, Paul appeared to be speaking, in English, to someone outside of the room. A small mercy is that their baby, Pierre, was nowhere in sight — though that just raised more questions. The good news is that some of the people who caught the Instagram Live spoke Portuguese. As one fan notes, apparently Karine said that she returned from a sleepover at her parents' home, only for Paul to allegedly go crazy. It looks like they're both accusing each other of having made a mess out of the packed up luggage. Baby Pierre was said to be still at her parents' house. John Yates notes that he reached out to Paul, who said that “things weren’t good and that Karine is with her parents.” We have a strong suspicion that Paul and Karine may have been filming for 90 Day Fiance . Yes, they are currently on 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way , though this latest episode may explain why they were packing to go to the US. That would explain why Paul was speaking in English to people in the other room, and why he mentioned Instagram Live and the NDA. It's June — last year, during this month, original recipe 90 Day Fiance was filming. Maybe Paul's family finally decided to help him sponsor Karine to come to the US? So, as you may recall, Paul's original plan was to go to Brazil, be with his much younger bride, and bring her back to the US to live. That didn't work out, in part because Paul didn't have the cash to cover the K-1 visa process for Karine. Instead, the new plan was for him to remain in Brazil and just live with Karine and their baby, Pierre, together. Except that, on the latest episode, we found that his bid for residency was denied — on the grounds of “terrorism.” Paul was very upset over the unexpected denial and the unexplained charge. We think that we can explain that. See, Paul had a criminal history long before he ever came to Brazil. Specifically, he committed arson back in 2007. In fact, when last we checked, he's still on “shock probation” and will be until April 2020. Then, in 2013, Paul was arrested for violating a protective order — which is a huge red flag. The order may have been issued over domestic violence concerns. Paul's long history of throwing up red flags left and right has led many 90 Day Fiance fans to hope that Karine takes baby Pierre and runs. Maybe this huge fight that the two had in public mark the end of their relationship. But … we won't hold our breath.

Prince Harry Was "Grumpy," Snubbed Donald Trump During UK Visit

Presideny Donald Trump touched down in Great Britain this week for a three-day, official state visit. But he wasn’t exactly given a hero’s greeting upon his arrival. At least not by one very prominent British citizen. According to The Sun, Prince Harry attended a private lunch with the President and First Lady on Monday, but he didn’t speak very much to the Commander-in-Chief. This same group was then taken on a tour of Queen Elizabeth’s private art collection, but Harry chose to hang back as much as possible at this point. An insider says he made a point NOT to be photographed anywhere near the President. This British publication explains that Harry walked in with the President’s daughter, Ivanka, during this showing — but then left her to talk to the Lord Chamberlain while the Queen showed the Trumps around the Palace. “Harry was the third most senior royal in the room after the Queen and his father, but didn’t seem to take any part in his royal duties,” an onlooker tells The Sun . Royal commentator Ingrid Seward, meanwhile, offered a similar account: “Harry did look grumpy and as if he didn’t want to be there,” she said, adding “He appears to be behaving in a rather immature way and letting his personal animosity take over from his natural good manners. “Whatever his personal feelings, it’s his duty to support the Queen regardless and take a tip from his grandmother who has never allowed her personal feelings to interfere with her duty. “It’s bad manners and rude.” One might say, of course, that President Trump has exhibited nothing himself except for bad, very rude manners — so why should he deserve anything but the same in return? Just a few days ago, upon being told of negative comments Meghan Markle made about him three years ago, Trump slammed the Duchess as nasty . He added at the time, speaking in general of Markle as a member of The Royal Family: “I think it’s nice, and I’m sure she’ll do excellently. She’ll be very good.” However, the damage had already been done. Thankfully for Markle, though, she never had to pretend to make nice to the President. She remains on maternity leave and is not attending any official events at the moment. As soon as Harry’s official duties were over yesterday, The Sun reports, “he dashed off to his exclusive Chelsea gym KX, where he spent 90 minutes working out.” He probably had quite a bit of stress to get out after having to hold in his contempt for the American President for so long. Harry then chose not take part in the official state banquet at the Palace last night, despite it being attended by Charles, Camilla, William and Kate. Can anyone blame the guy?!?

Apollo Nida: Released From Prison!

It’s been quite some time since we last heard from Phaedra Parks’ ex-husband, Apollo Nida. Of course, the former Real Housewives of Atlanta star wasn’t keeping a low profile by choice. Back in 2014,  Nida was sentenced to 8 years in prison  on identify theft and bank fraud charges. Shortly thereafter, he failed to report to prison on time , but he eventually turned himself and began serving his time. In March, a judge reduced Nida’s sentence by more than a year, making him eligible for parole in 2019. And today, the disgraced 40-year-old strolled through the gates of Fort Dix Correctional Facility a free man. Well … sort of. Nida will reside in an Atlanta-area halfway house for the summer and will likely be permitted to return to a private residence sometime in October. But we’re sure he’d agree his current situation beats the hell out of federal prison. Nida will be permitted to seek employment, purchase his own food and clothing, and leave the grounds during scheduled hours. Most importantly, he’ll be able to spend time with his fiancee in surroundings a bit more intimate than a prison visiting center. Nida got engaged to Sherien Amulfi from behind bars. Though they knew each other before he began his sentence, Apollo and Sherien have never spent the night together as a couple. Nida even crafter an engagement ring  for Amulfi from the minimal resources he had access to in prison, and he proposed during one of her visits. Here’s hoping he’s rewarded for his ingenuity in the very near future, if you know what we mean. Apollo pled guilty to all counts against him during his trial and he was reportedly a model prisoner during his time on the inside. “On behalf of my client Apollo, right now he feels remorse,” his attorney Thomas D. Bever told the media after he was sentenced. “He thought the judge was fair, and accepts his sentence, although he was hoping it would be less. Nida and Phaedra finalized their divorce in 2016, just months before he proposed to Amulfi. There was a time when Apollo might have reasonably hoped to be reinstated as an RHOA castmate (It’s not easy to find work as a felon and ex-con.) but that at this point that seems unlikely, as Phaedra was axed from the show prior to Season 10. But hey, today’s a day to focus on the positive. Apollo has served his time, and he’ll soon be reunited with his loved ones. We offer Mr. Nida our sincere congratulations on putting this dark chapter of his life behind him.

3 Essential Takeaways from Ciara’s ‘Red Table Talk’ Interview

View original post here:

Source: Stan Evans / Stan Evans Since ending her engagement with rapper Future back in 2014, Ciara has become the poster woman for fairy tale endings. She showed us how to move on from a toxic relationship and reminded us that sometimes the greatest love can come after the most devastating heartbreak. After splitting with the Atlanta rapper, Ciara went on to build a beautiful relationship and family with NFL superstar, Russell Wilson, and together the two have become #RelationshipGoals right in front of our very eyes (and social media timelines). On the latest episode of Red Table Talk , the Smith-Pinkett ladies sat down with the queen of “leveling Up” herself to discuss transforming her “not so pleasant experiences” she went through that all led up to the pure bliss she’s in today. She revealed everything from her feelings of pain after ending her first engagement to the moment she realized that calmness meant that her now husband was the one. She even shared the highly anticipated “Ciara Prayer” that she prayed to bring a man like Russell into her life. Ciara’s positivity is admirable and after watching her open up to RTT ladies, we can’t help but to love her journey from emotional scars to “Beauty Marks” even more. So many gems were dropped during the ladies’ 25-minute chat at the red table, but here are a few key takeaways that we absolutely we love. Learn from All Your Mistakes and Experiences  Although she never mentioned Future by name, Ciara opened up about the most painful aspect of her split from the rapper citing a combination of the breakup itself, the idea of being a single parent, the pressure from the public and the fact that none of it was an ideal situation for her or her son as the reasons why her break up was so hard. It was only after she began to learn from her experience that she was able to move forward and attain the happiness she desired. Her revelation that “time does not stop” and her fear of “wasting time” is what helped her start the healing process as she realized that it would be worse to stay in an unhealthy situation that wasn’t going to get any better. “Knowing what you don’t want is really important, because it creates clarity”, Ciara mentioned. From this experience, she was able to start making different decisions and learn the type of love she wanted for her and her son. Loving Yourself Is Huge Ciara recalled that the moment she realized it was time to end her relationship [with Future] and stand on her own was the same moment she made a commitment to love herself first. “I remember one time I was working out on the elliptical machine and I was just not sure about do I stay or what direction do I go? What’s the right thing to do? It’s easy to do this, but is the easy thing the right thing?” Ciara said. She explained how taking their son, Future, on vacation helped her gain confidence in herself to walk away from that situation. It was then that she committed to loving herself first because once she truly learned to love herself she was able to be loved the way she deserved and most importantly, she was able to give love the right way. “The Prayer” During the fishbowl question segment of the show, a fan got right to the point and asked Ciara, “what was the specific prayer you prayed to get Russell? Hook a sister up!” While blushing, Ciara revealed what she prayed for during that time, stating, “when you pray for things you should be very specific and very clear about what you want, to the point that you can taste it”. She continued, “you can feel it through your bones and body. It’s a very spiritual thing because you’re getting lost by praying and speaking and declaring what you want in your life”. Ciara went on to explain that she prayed that she would learn from the wisdom she gained, for discernment, for a God-fearing man and for someone that loved kids. As Jada interjected, she mentioned that a man shouldn’t be a good man for you, but rather he should be a better man for himself, first. Listen and take notes, ladies! The latest episode of “Red Table Talk” featuring Ciara is available on Facebook Watch now.

3 Essential Takeaways from Ciara’s ‘Red Table Talk’ Interview

Dog’s Most Wanted Promo: Beth Chapman is Fighting for Her Life

Beth Chapman has taken a break from feuding with her stepdaughter to promote a new trailer for Dog's Most Wanted . In the new promo, Duane “Dog The Bounty Hunter” Chapman acknowledges his wife's cancer. In fact, it's relevant to the message that he wants to send to fugitives. Take a look: “Duane ‘Dog’ Chapman here,” Duane begins in this new clip shared by WGN. He stands before the camera, framed by darkness n a way that makes his nearly platinum hair seem brighter and his skin seem pinker. Beside him, Beth stands in an intense wig that forms a mane around her as they both stare at viewers. “My wife, the love of my life, is fighting for her life,” Duane shares. “Instead of being at home helping her,” he says. “I’m out here looking for you.” Duane hopes that any fugitives who happen to for some reason be watching this promo take his warning to heart. “I’m warning you in advance,” he cautions. “May God have mercy on you when I get you,” He doubles down on his warning: “because I won’t.” The implication here is that he will take out his frustrations over his wife's horrific cancer battle upon any fugitives he encounters. “You've been warned,” Beth chimes in. Beth Chapman is grappling with throat cancer which, once in remission, has returned and spread. “I don’t go to God and go, ‘Why did I get cancer?’” Beth shared earlier this year. “He’ll roll his eyes at me again,” Beth predicted. “Because I know why.” Beth explained that she believes that she has cancer “because this is the ultimate test of faith.” Whatever opinions any of us may have about that, theologically or medically, we don't feel the need to debate a cancer patient. “It is the evidence of things hoped for,” Beth expressed. “And it is the substance of things not known.” We think that she's describing faith, there, not cancer itself. Beth also explained why she was happier on the road, filming with her family, than receiving treatments that might prolong or even save her life. “Chemotherapy is not my bag, people,” Beth stated. “Sorry, that’s not for me.” “So for me, this is the ultimate test of faith,” she explained. “This is my ultimate lesson.” “And it will either be taught to me or to you,” Beth shared. We suppose that who learns the lesson is contingent upon Beth's ultimate fate. “And I am fine with taking the hit for everyone else,” Beth expressed. “Because,” she explained. “I think I know another guy who did the same thing.” Some might have gone with a Job analogy for Beth's suffering, but she skipped right to Jesus. Some may question why Beth would spend what may be her final months filming a show that some consider clownish or embarrassing. We would point out that, perhaps accidentally, Dog's Most Wanted has helped to highlight some real problems in our justice system. Almost all laws related to bounty hunters have been on the books since the 1800s. Though Duane is more careful (and, of course, on camera), some bounty hunters barge into the wrong house. People have died. Something has to change. But that's not why Beth is staying on the show. She wants to be with the people she loves, doing what she loves, for as long as she can.

Luke Parker: Was He Booted From The Bachelorette For Slut-Shaming Hannah?!

We’ve known for quite some time that Luke Parker sucks .  But for some reason, it seems The Bachelorette sleazebag had Hannah Brown fooled throughout much of his time on the show. Yes, Luke’s facade began to crumble on last week’s episode when Hannah had to ask him to tone it the f–k down so she can actually interact with some of the other guys. [ALERT: In case you haven’t figured it out already, major spoilers for Hannah Brown’s season of The Bachelorette lie ahead.] But we know that he redeems himself at some point in the weeks to come, because Luke makes it to Hannah’s final four . Which means he rides his “douchebag who found Jesus” routine all the way to the fantasy suite stage. Fortunately, it sounds like he didn’t wind up riding anything else, if you catch our meaning. The latest inside intel comes to us courtesy of the ever-reliable Reality Steve. Steve was the first to identify Hannah’s finalists, and now he has photographic evidence that Luke makes it all the way to Athens. But as with Rizzo and Kenicke before them, Hannah and Luke’s romance falls apart in Greece: As Reality Steve points out, an irate Hannah can be seen responding to an apparent assault on her character in the preview posted below. “I can’t believe you just said that to me. I don’t owe you anything at this point,” Hannah shouts. Later, we see her say, “I have had sex…and Jesus still loves me.” According to Steve, Luke had the fourth overnight date and he was sent home during the dinner portion. Hannah Brown Kicks Luke Parker Off The Bachelorette! Based on that information and Hannah’s revealing comments in the preview, it’s safe to conclude that Luke inquired as to how far Hannah went with her previous dates, and he was not happy with the results. Luke is a former player, but he’s also a born-again evangelical Christian, and he probably wouldn’t be pleased to learn that his future wife had just slept with multiple other dudes. Obviously, that’s Luke’s problem and not Hannah’s, and she absolutely did the right thing in giving him the boot. As for who receives the final rose, well … you’ll just have to wait until the season finale to find out. Just kidding, we totally know who Hannah is engaged to , and you can find that info (along with plenty of other juicy tidbits) in the gallery below:   View Slideshow: The Bachelorette Spoilers: Check Out the Lucky Guy Who Wins Hannah’s Heart!

Wendy Williams to Khloe Kardashian: Stay Away from Lamar Odom, Bish!!

Lamar Odom has come out with a memoir that contains  some bonkers revelations , from his drug use to his body count. But one of his bombshells was his desire to  get back with Khloe Kardashian  now that her latest cheater is out of the picture. Wendy Williams is all but ordering Khloe to keep her distance. “He says he still wants to get back together with Khloe,” Wendy reveals to her captive audience. The booing that follows is deafening. She adds: “He says he loves Khloe like no other.” “He says that you'll have to talk to her about it,” Wendy says. “Khloe,” Wendy instructs. “You leave that man alone!” Wendy addresses a few other topics, including her personal fondness for Lamar. “I don’t even look at him as a low down dirty dog,” Wendy notes. “For all of the things he’s done to Khloe and the lies and things.” She also explains why she is speaking about the book herself instead of having him on as a guest. “If Lamar [were] here,” Wendy says. “I couldn’t sit back and judge him.” Wendy says that this is the case “because I feel bad for him. I’m scared for him.” “I didn't think that he and Khloe were a real relationship after only knowing each other for 30 days,” Wendy recalls. “But Khloe did love him,” she affirms. “And Khloe put everything into him.” “Khlow, you know what? Take this the best way,” Wendy says, offering some unsolicited advice. She instructs: “This is not the time for Khloe to be feeling like: 'Yup, I've got the snappin' gyro and I cook well and he gets me.'” “No,” Wendy says. “You get no points.” “It's real easy to seduce a guy like Lamar,” she adds. That may sound unkind, or even like an insult. But according to Lamar, there are  about 2,000 women  out there who would agree. “He's a real simple dude,” Wendy adds. “Apparently, what he wanted to do was get high,” Wendy says of Lamar. “You know what I'm saying?” “And,” she adds, Lamar wanted to “have somebody take care of him.” “And that,” Wendy assesses. “Does not give you points as a woman.” Wait, is gender now on a points-based system? We joke — Wendy is explaining that banging Lamar or even marrying him isn't exactly challenging. “It just gives you points as a  kind  woman,” Wendy explains. “As a caretaker” “And Khloe,” she instructs. “Move on.” “Leave this man alone,” Wendy demands. Judging from their thunderous applause at this, it sounds like Wendy's audience wholeheartedly agrees. Interestingly, it was Lamar who humiliated Khloe, and even Wendy acknowledges that Khloe was loving and affectionate to him. We'd never insist that Khloe is perfect, but it's a little odd to see people act like she's some lurking predator, ready to gobble up her ex. Or … Wendy's not a sportsball fan, but maybe her audience believes in the “Kardashian curse” for which Khloe and her sisters have been blamed? Or maybe they just think that she's bad news. That sounds a little unfair, right?

Nicole Nafziger: 90 Day Fiance Star Reveals How She Tunes Out the Haters

90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After? star Nicole Nafziger plans to return to Morocco and marry Azan. She refuses to let hateful, negative comments from “fans” keep her down any longer. In a new post, Nicole is sharing how she keeps a positive attitude in the face of unending adversity. Nicole Nafziger treated her fans and followers to a gorgeous selfie showing off her new, short hair and the natural beauty of her face. “‘Love and peace of mind do protect us,'” Nicole quotes in the caption of this photo. “‘They allow us to overcome the problems that life hands us,'” the quote continues. “‘To survive… to live now.'” “‘To have the courage to confront the each day,'” the quote concludes. Nicole then attributes the inspirational words to Bernie Siegel. (Side note: Nicole looks particularly breathtaking in this cobalt blouse and we cannot get enough of this pic) Though Nicole received the usual barrage of negativity under her positivity post, she also received praise from fans. “You look happy and at peace in this photo!” praises one fan. “That’s all that matters!”  “You look so pretty!!!” another follower affirmed. “Don’t listen to the haters on this post.” Among the haters were people telling her that she’s foolish for her continued romance with Azan. In another recent picture, Nicole showed off what a fun and loving mom she is with her adorable daughter, May. “Our lives have been so colorful,” Nicole gushed in the caption. “From the beginning,” she wrote. “There have been twist and turns and you’ve been the bright shinning sun that keeps me going.” “I know things are a little crazy now my dear,” Nicole acknowledged. “But soon it will be just right.” Fans will be reassured that Nicole is admitting that her life is chaotic at the moment. “I want to give you every opportunity in life and more,” she promised. “To see the world and learn the cultures.” Translation: she hopes that her upcoming trip to Morocco will be educational for her daughter. “Discover the world and know its beauty,” Nicole added. “Take chances and never regret a thing,” she recommended.” “I love you,” Nicole concluded. “And I want to give you everything” Fans saw Nicole’s crushing disappointment on Sunday night’s episode of 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After? She and Azan had planned a romantic getaway to Grenada, which was apparently the only country that Azan was allowed to visit. That fell through due to some vague “family emergency.” This summer, Nicole plans to move to Morocco, with May in tow, transplanting herself there. After she marries Azan, a ceremony that they’ve continued to postpone, she hopes to acquire a spousal visa so that he can live in the US with her. Some fans have real concerns about May and her education. Where will she go to school? Nicole assures them that things are well in hand, though a little research done by fans reveals that American schools there cost $9000 a year. It’s unclear how the former barista with a fiance who doesn’t work plans to pay that kind of hefty tuition. Other followers think that Azan is just trying to scam Nicole. While some of these doubters are confused by and suspicious of Azan’s strange cancelations and excuses, others have blamed Nicole for being “gullible.” If people would be nicer to Nicole, and find kinder ways to express their concerns if they have to send them at all, she wouldn’t need to “focus on the positive” so dang much.
