Khloe Kardashian: Hey! I’m No Homewrecker!

Khloe Kardashian would like to make something very clear. You wanna drag Tristan Thompson’s name through the mud? Go right ahead. That guy is a cheater and a liar and a total loser who only has an NBA title because he played with LeBron James. But the name she has worked so hard to keep clean and admirable? Don’t you dare dully it, Internet users! Khloe has felt a need to speak out in her own defense after reports surfaced that alleged she started dating Thompson back in the summer of 2016 — when he was still with then-girlfriend Jordan Craig. Moreover, when Craig was pregnant with his first kid. According to court documents Craig filed this past November (as part of her child support battle against Thompsin), the Instagram model wrote that Thompson and Kardashian got together when she was still involved with the basketball player. “Their relationship went viral and everything took a turn for the worst,” Jordan recalls in these legal papers, adding: “Every day, several articles were published worldwide mocking my new unfortunate reality… my pregnancy would now become one of the most popular gossip headlines.” Craig never refers here to Khloe by name… but come on, right? (Plus, photos were published in August of 2016 of Khloe and Tristan on vacation.) Under fire for her supposed role in Thompson and Craig’s split, Kardashian fired back last night on her Instagram Story. “I’m disappointed that I even feel the need to post this but… I need to say my truth. Take it as you will,” she started, prior to delving into a lengthy explanation. “My truth is: I met Tristan because HE CHOSE to go on a blind date with me. “A mutual friend set us up. After going on some dates, Tristan told me that he had an ex that was pregnant. Obviously, I was reluctant about us continuing to date or start a relationship.” Craig, for the record, gave birth to a son named Prince in December 2016. She has stated that Thompson is a deadbeat father to this two-year old . Kardashian goes on to say that the power forward “pleaded with me that the relationship was over long before we met.” And, let’s face it, Thompson is clearly prone to lying about sex and love and romances and basically everything, as Khloe herself sadly knows well. “He had me talk with his most inner circle,” she writes. “He showed me physical poof [sic] (correspondence between the two) and had me on calls with his lawyers to prove his point. His best friends, business associates and even his mother told me, him and his ex were broken up before we met.” ( Note to Khloe : If a guy has you on the phone with his attorney to try and prove something about his love life, maybe you ought to take that as a weird warning sign next time and just move on.) “This is my truth!” Khloe continued. “The truth that I believed and trusted. If for any reason this is NOT in fact the truth, I am so completely and utterly sorry that TRISTAN and his inner circle would lie on something like this!” We probably do believe Khloe here. She has no history of getting between a man and his girlfriend and, to reiterate, Tristan Thompson is a known liar all around. “I pray my truth is in fact that,” the reality star says. “Lord knows I pray but now, I really don’t know what to believe. “Truthfully, from the deepest parts of my soul, I am sorry! I’m sorry for any pain that has been created either way. No woman deserves to go through anything like this!” In conclusion? This is MY TRUTH. The questions therefore now turns to our readers: Are you buying it?

Mackenzie McKee Provides Sad/Inspirational Update on Cancer-Stricken Mom

Mackenzie McKee has been in the news often of late, for reasons both disturbing and also intriguing. But the former Teen Mom 3 star and future Teen Mom OG cast member is not making headlines here for allegedly abusing her dog or being chosen to take over for Jenelle Evans . Sadly, she’s doing so instead for providing fans with an update about her sick mother. This past May, Angie Douthit herself told followers that she had tragically suffered a major setback in her battle against cancer. Which is to say: The cancer had returned. At stage four, the most critical stage of cancer, Douthit said the disease had “gone wild” and that the prognosis did not look positive. “I wish I could say that I’m in remission,” Angie said at the time . “Or that the cancer has vanished.” She continued: “But instead this is what we were told. Basically the cancer has gone wild. I have new tumors in my brain. And the old ones are growing… The tumors in both my lungs are progressing and growing again.” Just so, so sad all around. Angie did at least end this message on a hopeful note, saying she had turned herself and her fate over to a higher power. “I pray that I can always have a sound mind  and that I can continue speaking until God is finished with me,” she explained. “He is still in complete control. And he greatly loves me.” We truly can’t imagine being in this situation and we salure Angie for being able to have this sort of attide. Now, her daughter is here with an update that is simultaneously inspirational and depressing. “Laying on her back, horrible pneumonia ontop of stage 4 lung cancer spreading through her body, and unable to breath without her oxygen mask,” McKee wrote as a caption to the image above. She added of her brave mother: “She is still staying positive and finding the best in life. She is praying for YOU today if you are dealing with sickness. And she wants to send you a positive message. “I love you momma bear. Keep shining @angiedouthit.” Douthit also shared the same photo on her Instagram page, along with a longer update on her health. “Having pneumonia is about as much fun as cleaning toilets. But, in the end the toilets shine and smell clean,” Douthit wrote. “I too will come out of this with clean lungs and a shining smile. I’m still on oxygen. But with all the meds I’m getting, I’m sleeping a lot! My children have visited me and I can’t even wake up sometimes to tell them I love them. And, poor Brad is being a trooper.” Concluded Angie, who has lung and brain cancer: “I know hospitals are boring and he’d rather be fishing, but he chooses to be right here with me. I had also got this crazy case of thrush. “I thought only new born babies got it. But apparently it’s a thing for chemo and cancer patients. So imagine, your mouth and throat hurts, but you have to cough because u have pneumonia. “Not cool. I have to laugh. I mean it’s comical. The only thing that tastes good is jello.” Earlier this month, McKee was cast as a recurring player on the next season of Teen Mom OG. Most of her storylines are expected to center around her mom’s cancer journey. Elsewhere, McKee is adamant that she loves her dog and would never dare hurt her. Confused? Click below for more.

Parental PRIDE: Marlon Wayans Defends Daughter From Hatin’ Azz Homophobes On IG

Source: SplashNews / Splash News Marlon Wayans Responds To Negative Comments On Post About Gay Daughter It almost goes without saying how much Marlon Wayans loves his kids. The actor/comedian created a whole show “Marlon” about his life as a single dad which ran for two seasons on NBC — so we don’t know why anyone in their right mind would have the nerve to speak a peep negative about his babies — but a couple of bold MF’ers did. Marlon set them fools straight real quick too. And we’re proud of him. View this post on Instagram Happy pride to my pride and joy. I wouldn’t change one effing thing about you. Love you to the moon around the sun through the galaxies and back again. A post shared by Marlon Wayans (@marlonwayans) on Jun 2, 2019 at 7:44pm PDT On Sunday Marlon posted this photo of his daughter Amai, 19, with the rainbow sole of her shoe showing along with the caption: Happy pride to my pride and joy. I wouldn’t change one effing thing about you. Love you to the moon around the sun through the galaxies and back again. How beautiful is that? Acceptance and support means the world to most children and Marlon was quick to prove himself ready to go above and beyond. Many of his followers flooded his comments with hearts and messages of support, such as this one: every queer kid deserves a parent like this and this one: Wow you’re a great parent!! She’s lucky to have you!! But not every comment was in support of Marlon’s choice to embrace his daughter: Take this guy hating from the sidelines (and not alone either, the comment received over 400 likes): She’s not old enough to understand what that’s really all about. You have the power to change lives Bro, don’t teach her that Rather than delete the comment, Marlon quickly shut down the argument by saying: “She’s 19. She’s who she is until or until she don’t [sic] choose different. Love her for her not what I want her to be.” Beautiful response. Then there was this one, also not alone in his or her ignorance (with nearly 300 likes) who commented: You think if you support her you are good ??? Being a parent is not about saying yes to everything no you need to say yes on the good things only now just one question if you really support her would you give up being a grandfather because of this stupid decision that she made because as last as remember two girls can’t make a baby Marlon addressed this as well, a little more firmly too! “there’s technology and i got the means,” Marlon responded. ” so thank u shallow fu**er. Go hate your own kids.” There was also someone who simply said “D—n unfollow. Sad s—t.” “Bye,” Wayans commented back with a waving hand emoji. We already loved him, but this just added an extra layer of respect due. There are so many people walking around the world with battered and bruised hearts and egos because their parents didn’t show them this kind of unconditional acceptance. Kudos to Marlon for this.

David Letterman Digs Into Kanye’s Trump Love, Sunday Service And Struggles With Mental Health For “My Next Guest”

Source: Janet Mayer/ SplashNews / Splash News David Letterman Gets Kanye To Open Up About Late Mom, Mental Illness And Trump In case you haven’t already heard — we’ll have another chance to get a better understanding of Kanye West and his “interesting” life and philosophies thanks to his appearance in the new season of David Letterman’s Netflix show “My Next Guest Needs No Introduction.” According to an early preview by the Daily Beast the conversation covers a range of topics including music, fashion and Kanye’s relationships with his father and late mom as Kim Kardashian West sits in the audience watching. Letterman even takes a trip to KimYe’s crib where he tries on pieces from the Yeezy collection, to Kim’s approval. “You look really good,” Kim tells him. View this post on Instagram Just two guys having a laugh. Five new episodes — including Kanye and Dave — are coming next Friday to @Netflix. A post shared by David Letterman (@letterman) on May 25, 2019 at 7:00am PDT We were probably most interested to hear that he brings up other artists he’s been at odds with: During a discussion about his lyrics, Kanye begins to say, “An artist which I will not mention, because I’m not allowed to mention him or any of his family members…” Letterman responds with, “That’s fairly provocative.” “Well, we had a little beef last year,” Kanye says, before revealing that he is referring to Drake. “He has this line that I love that says, ‘I told my story and made history’—like made his story and made history. That’s what we do, we tell our story and then people relate to that story.” But then, he adds, people latch onto that story and get mad when it goes in a direction they don’t expect. “I have a friend who told me that my power is my influence,” Kanye continues. “And I said my power is my ability to not be influenced.” Letterman follows with, “Wow, this is pretty good.” The interview also addresses Kanye’s mental health issues, which he describes thusly: “When you’re bipolar, you have the potential to ramp up and it can take you to a point where you start acting erratic, as TMZ would put it,” the rapper says, referencing his on-air meltdown at that outlet’s offices last year. Ye, who stopped taking his medication a year ago, argues that his disease likely fuels his creativity: “If you guys want these crazy ideas and these crazy stages and this crazy music and this crazy way of thinking,” he says, “there’s a chance if might come from a crazy person.” Of course we saved the best for last… Letterman doesn’t ask Kanye about Trump, Kanye brings up that relationship on his own: In the midst of an argument about his “fear” as a man during the #MeToo movement, Kanye says, “This is like my thing with Trump—we don’t have to feel the same way, but we have the right to feel what we feel.” When he wears his “Make America Great Again” hat, he says it’s “not about politics” but rather an attempt to break the stigma around showing support for Trump. “Did you vote for Trump?” Letterman asks him. “I’ve never voted in my life,” Kanye answers. “Then you don’t have a say in this,” Letterman shoots back to cheers from the audience. Kanye responds, “Well you got me, you got me,” before going on his anti-13th Amendment rant that drew Trump’s praise and may or may not have been inspired by conservative activist Candace Owens. From there, Letterman tries to get Kanye to condemn the Republican-led voter suppression efforts during the most recent midterm elections. “So if I see a person that I admire talking about Donald Trump can think whatever he does,” he says, “I wonder if those thoughts, indirectly, aren’t hurting people who are already being hurt.” Instead of addressing Letterman’s point, Kanye turns around and expresses sympathy for Trump voters who are “treated like enemies of America because that’s what they felt.” After Letterman makes his forceful case against the idea that Trump is some sort of savior to those who voted for him, Kanye takes a long pause. “Have you ever been beat up in your high school for wearing the wrong hat?” he asks eventually. Asked who is doing the bulk of the bullying in America right now, he replies, “Liberals bully people who are Trump supporters!” YIKES… But according to the Daily Beast, Ye kinda manages to redeem himself by revealing some of his James Turrell-inspired Sunday Service project. The episode and four others lands at Netflix this Friday May 31. Will you be watching? Check out the trailer below: Hit the flip to see Kanye talk about his late mom Donda

Khloe Kardashian: Being Nice to Tristan SUCKS But I Do It for True!

Despite wild accusations that she’s neglecting True by relying upon nannies, Khloe Kardashian’s whole world revolves around her daughter. And sometimes, that means calmly coparenting with her cheating baby daddy, Tristan Thompson. But Khloe admits that it’s not easy playing nice with a scoundrel. In fact, she admits that it “f–king sucks.” Khloe Kardashian spoke on Laura Wasser’s Divorce Sucks! podcast  “I do everything in my power to not even bring…” Khloe says, trailing off. it seems clear that she was going to talk about putting True in the middle of her parents’ drama. “True is 1 and like a month old,” Khloe acknowledges. “So she doesn’t really know what’s happening.” “But to me she does know,” she claims. “And she feels energy and I’m a big believer of that.” Khloe’s claim may sound like a bit much, but we think that we understand her meaning. “So,” she explains. “I do everything in my power to not put any sort of heavy energy around her.” “Maybe that sounds a little too like bohemian to some people,” Khloe admits. Not necessarily. Describing it as “energy” may make it sound like a spiritual belief or even just goofy. But at 13 months, True could certainly pick up on tension in her parents’ voices, body language, and interactions. That’s part of growing up. Khloe then explains exactly why she invited Tristan to attend True’s first birthday. “I didn’t do it because I thought she was going to remember this first party,” Khloe clarifies. Most people don’t remember their first birthday party, or even have the context to understand it at the moment. “It was really for me,” Khloe admits. “I just wanted a happy, heavenly place,” she expresses. But Khloe does say that she thinks that True will ultimately be happy that Tristan was at the party. Khloe reasons: “I know that she’s gonna wanna look back at all of her childhood memories like we all do.” “Se and my sisters,” she points out. “We will sit on the floor looking at our old photo albums.” This is a great reminder that, even thought he Kardashians aren’t especially old — Kourtney is the eldest, and she’s forty! … But just a few elements of the Kardashian lifestyle sounds like it comes from people decades older. We get it. It’s a bunch of siblings in a closely knit family. Their lives are not like ours. But even though she’d like to paint a glossy picture of her coparenting life, she says that things with Tristan are still rough. “It does f–king suck,” Khloe confesses. She affirms “It does.” “And,” Khloe adds. “There’s moments that because our personal emotions are still in there and for me, you know.” That wasn’t a super cohesive line, but we all understand her meaning. Khloe still has pangs of difficult, negative emotions over all of the Tristan drama. “Tristan and I broke up not too long ago,” Khloe states. “So,” she explains. “It’s really raw.” Notably, it has been rumored and even strongly implied that Khloe and Tristan had already broken up before he visited an uninvited kiss upon Jordyn Woods. But “not too long ago” is deeply subjective. It sounds like Khloe is being vague on purpose. “And so,” Khloe concludes. “Those emotions could be heightened at times.” We can only imagine so.

Hannah Brown Confronts Kelly Ripa: Who Won Their Bachelorette Tête-à-Tête?

Kelly Ripa made headlines this week for saying that The Bachelorette is disgusting . And just 24 hours later, who ended up appearing on Ripa’s talk show? The Bachelorette herself! Ripa, of course, was not saying on yesterday’s edition of Live with Kelly and Ryan that Hannah Brown is disgusting. She was saying that the premise of the series itself is a giant insult to women everywhere… which seems like a very obvious point and yet which has come across as controversial for some reason. “I can’t stand the idea of 25 exceptional women fighting over one ordinary fella, in my opinion,” Ripa said on air, referring to The Bachelor really and adding: “You know how I feel, ladies, we are too special to be arguing over a guy.” Ripa also referred to The Bachelorette as “creepy.” In response to these comments, Bachelor/Bachelorette host Chris Harrison and franchise creator Mike Fleiss both WENT OFF on Ripa. “Look out #BachelorNation Kelly Ripa is coming after you and your ‘disgusting’ Monday night habit,” Harrison tweeted, while Fleiss got far more personal. “Easy, Kelly Ripa,” he wrote. “ The Bachelor franchise pays your salary .” Yikes, right? Granted, this franchise makes a ton of money for ABC – but Kelly’s talk show is in syndication. It generates millions per year for the network on its own. This response by Fleiss drew the wrath of another ABC employee who knows a thing or two dozen about raking in cash for the network. “Okay @fleissmeister… that’s some handle bro!” wrote Ellen Pompeo in maybe the greatest opening to a Tweet in history. The Grey’s Anatomy star then added: “Your show does NOT pay @KellyRipa salary.  Also we don’t attack successful women on our network and men certainly cannot take credit for their success.  “Don’t get me started on your show cuz I’m a savage…. #bachelorsoooowhite.” We absolutely love it. But back to Brown and Ripa… As soon as The Bachelorette sat down opposite Ripa on Thursday morning, the women engaged in a friendly debate about the show. “I’m not sure if they told you backstage, I’m not behind this at all,” Ripa told the season 15 lead, joking: “You seem like a lovely girl. You blink twice, I will get you out of here.” Brown, though, was unfazed. “I’m good,” she said with a laugh. “I’m glad to be here.” “I am very against women fighting over a guy,” Ripa continued. “I don’t believe in it. I think it’s, you know, weird and sets us back. But now, you are in the power position. So, take me through that. How does that work?” Brown obliged as follows: “I didn’t really follow the show, wasn’t a big fan. “But, being a part of the show, it’s not women fighting against each other. Really, some of my best friends came from the show and were really supportive. “When you have a group of 30 people together, there’s going to be people who don’t like each other. That’s simple facts.” Brown, of course, earned her lead role this season after competing to be Colton Underwood’s wife on The Bachelor . “Ultimately, it was one of the most empowering things that I ever have done because I had to push myself and grow as an individual,” she continued. “And I did. And I think that’s why I decided that I wanted to be the Bachelorette and wanted that so bad.” It sounds ot us like a network PR person wrote some solid words for Brown to utter in defense of the show, doesn’t it? We’re not entirely sure how a woman can be empowered on a series built around the concept of a man picking and choosing who he wants to keep and who he wants to send home. But we’re not here to judge! We’re just here to bring you some The Bachelorette spoilers !
