Kendra Wilkinson Blasts Mom-Shamers in Epic Rant

Posted on April 13, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Kendra Wilkinson and Hank Baskett have split. Though it looks like their divorce is amicable Last week, Kendra took to Instagram and mourned her last day of marriage to Hank . It was a beautiful use of social media. Now, in a new post, she’s blasting — and ranting against — her haters, her critics, and the mom-shamers. Kendra’s Instagram rant is very conversational, right from the beginning. “Let me just vent for a second.” Well, it’s her social media account to do with as she sees fit. “I bust my ass off as a human being.” Fortunately, not literally, That peach remains very much intact. “I work, pay bills, take care of 2 kids and love them to the fullest plus trying to take care of myself through it all is a 24/7 job.” Many, many parents know that this is true. She’s a reality star, but not all reality star live the lives of the idle rich. Kendra then laments the misinformation and false impressions that people have of her. “I don’t know what the f–k some of u haters think u know but you better get your heads checked.” She wants to remind people that reality television is edited and, often, includes prepackaged storylines. “Because your assumptions based on pictures and clips of shows make you straight up delusional.” Even as she puts mom-shamers on blast, she’s also thanking her actual fans. “I appreciate the true people that follow me and know who I truly am vs idiots coming in and out making s–t up.” Worse than the people who jump to conclusions are the people who fabricate hurtful tales and pass them off as true. “I’m also talking about people around me too.” Naturally, she thanks her friends who remain true to her. Kendra goes on to express how she eels that she should be characterized … and how she feels that she has been unfairly maligned. “I’m a lover and a free spirit by nature, not a fighter but lately I’ve been feeling pushed into a corner by judgment and opinions that are 100% false and not me.” And that’s why she’s hitting back. “While people on the internet AND in real life are feeling bad for my kids because mama has to work, my kids at the same time are thanking me.” No one should ever shame working mothers. “I make my sacrifices so my kids can have a life they deserve.” And she wants to clear up that she doesn’t have a drinking problem. “I drink to celebrate only and i enjoy my friends.” Kendra hopes that she’ll eventually be vindicated in the public eye. “One day I’ll get the credit i deserve for all the hard work i do.” She does not plan to bend over backwards to try to win over her haters, however. “But ’til then I’m going to keep doing me.” She means that she’ll keep doing herself, Kendra has been candid about her insatiable sex drive and how that sometimes drives her to overuse her personal sex toys, but she is not referring to that at the moment. “I get it, i shouldn’t care what people think but sometimes I’m human and s–t gets to me.” That is totally fair, folks. Kendra concludes her post with a question for her fans and followers: “What pisses you off today guys?” That is a long-ass list for most of us, because it’s 2018 and every day is a waking nightmare and the news cycle of a single week is enough to fill several months. But most of her fans simply replied with support for her. She’d go to hell and back for her kids and she’s been spending plenty of time with them since her split from Hank. It really seems like she has her priorities in order and doesn’t deserve the mom-shaming that she receives. View Slideshow: Kendra Wilkinson Falls Apart on Instagram, Confirms Divorce!?

Tristan Thompson Cheating Scandal: Fifth Mistress Emerges, Denies Allegations

Posted on April 13, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

At this point, anyone with an Internet connection is aware that  Tristan Thompson has cheated on Khloe Kardashian. There’s actual video footage of the professional baller making out and being groped with three women in Washington DC, while there’s a recording of him walking into a hotel at 5 a.m. on a Sunday with a different woman. The first incident described above took place in October, when Kardashian was three months along in her pregnancy. The second incident took place a mere two weeks ago, when Kardashian was well over eight months along in her pregnancy. (The reality star just welcomed her and Thompson’s daughter early on April 12, meanwhile, the day after news of this scandal broke.) Based on just this pair of examples alone, the world of social media has come together and agreed: Tristan Thompson sucks. But we’ve now learned that he may suck even more than previously believed… According to The Daily Mail, Thompson didn’t just cheat on Kardashian on a couple of sort of random occasions. The British publication alleges to have photos of a woman named Tania that sources say carried on a lengthy affair with Thompson. These pictures purportedly depict numerous times in which Thompson and Tania hung out over the past several months, with the images showing Tristan and this supposed side piece eating together and getting along very well. There are no photos of them being physical with each other, however. However, The Daily Mail claims Tania would actually travel the country to watch Thompson play basketball, citing one instance in particular when she took in a Cavs away game versus the Boston Celtics.  (Afterward, we presume, she would take it from Tristan himself. If you know what we mean.) As we said above, it’s difficult for nearly anyone to have a lower opinion of Thompson at the moment even before this report surfaced. But if he really had a legitimate side piece? A woman he was flying around the country to bang at various times while Khloe sat at home and waiting to birth his child? Sheesh , man. At this point, however, it’s perhaps worth noting that Radar Online claims to have spoken to Tania’s parents. We have no idea how they tracked these people down. View Slideshow: Tristan Thompson Says He Didn’t Cheat on Khloe Kardashian; Here’s Proof That He’s Lying But Tania’s mother and father say talk that their daughter has been sleeping with Thompson is simply “not true.” Moreover, such allegations have really brought their kid down. “She’s telling me nothing happened,” the father tells Radar . “She’s a friend of one of the guys who plays on the same team” and is “very upset” by assertions of anything more. Mom and Dad go on to say that their daughter was raised by a good “Christian family” and would never have sex with a man who was essentially married. And just in case Kardashian doesn’t buy what she is selling? “Tell Khloe to call me so I can assure her this is not true,” the mother says. View Slideshow: Tristan Thompson’s HOT Alleged Mistresses Exposed! We’ll pass that piece of advice on to Keeks. But she may be too busy to take it right now. The poor 33-year old is barely one full day into motherhood and not even three full days into living in a world in which every single person knows her boyfriend has been disloyal. We can’t imagine what that must be like for Khloe. If there’s anything at all that we can do for her, we hope Kardashian reaches out and asks.

Jax Taylor FLIPS OUT on Lisa Vanderpump: Was He on Drugs?

Posted on April 10, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

When Jax Taylor appears on Andy Cohen’s Watch What Happens Live , it’s not uncommon for callers to inquire as to the quantity of cocaine that disappears up the Vanderpump Rules star’s surgically-enhanced nose on a nightly basis. Based on what we saw last night, the answer cannot be given in terms of grams or even ounces, and instead must be envisioned as a relief map of Tony Montana’s desktop. What we’re saying is, Jax appears to have been halfway to the moon on Colombian marching powder during his latest tirade at SUR, and the resulting sh-tshow could cost him both his fake job (bartender) and his real one (reality TV powder keg). We joke about Jax’s consumption of booger sugar (kind of), but it’s not hard to see how he got so wound up during the climactic of last night’s episode. Basically, a series of escalating conflicts had Jax’s fight or flight brain in high gear, and we doubt even Kelsey’s magic Reiki rocks could have calmed him down. First, he confronted the random SUR barback who we’ll call Zoolander about his alleged crush on Brittany Cartwright. Shortly thereafter, Taylor locked horns with Scheana Marie for trying to fix Zoolander up with Brittany. After that, Jax got into it with James Kennedy over allegations that James hooked up with Kristen during the recent group trip to Mexico. Unfortunately for Mr. Taylor the situation came to a head just as Lisa Vanderpump walked into SUR to check out “See You Next Tuesday” for herself. Lisa tried to calm Jax down, and well … it didn’t go smoothly: “F–k you all,” shouted a wild-eyed Jax in the middle of his place of employment. “F–k you all, you f–king lying sacks of goddamn s–t. F–k you all,” he continued, making a solid case for himself as the most unhinged individual in the realty television landscape. Astonishingly, he then made the baffling decision to flip Lisa off, which predictably led to him getting expelled from the restaurant. The boss seemed just as baffled as everyone else: “Of all the places that you choose to have a meltdown, why choose the place that has paid your bills for the last seven years?” Lisa asked in her interview segment. “Of hundreds of employees, I’ve never had anybody speak to me the way you speak to me,” she said Jax after he refused to leave the restaurant. “You’re arrogant and you’re obnoxious. You’re acting like a little f–king baby.”  At that point, Taylor broke the fourth wall and removed his microphone, leading some viewers to theorize that he’d quit the show, especially since all of this comes on the heels of rumors about Jax breaking up with Brittany and moving to Florida. Needless to say, #PumpRules Twitter went wild. “It only took 6 years, but we, the fans of #PumpRules, finally get what we deserve: a full-blown Jax coke tantrum,” wrote one fan. “Could you imagine being at SUR as Jax had that ungodly meltdown? Bc that would be a dream come true for me,” joked another. “Next season. Jax: the intervention,” a third remarked. But the tweet of the night belongs to Ira Madison III who threw it all the way back to James’ ” it’s not about the pasta ” comments from earlier this season: “How much pasta did Jax have tonight?” Madison asked. Whatever the answer, we think it’s time for Mr. Taylor to put down the grated parm and stick to oregano.

Joy-Anna Duggar & Austin Forsyth: Dark Relationship Secrets Revealed (Exclusive)

Posted on April 7, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Earlier this week, reports that Austin Forsyth had behaved abusively toward his wife, Joy-Anna Duggar, made their way across the social media landscape. The allegations were based primarily on what Counting On fans had witnessed both on the show and in web exclusives posted by TLC. To be clear, Austin has not been accused of physically abusing Joy-Anna, but viewers who claim they’re able to recognize the signs from firsthand experience say that Austin has repeatedly demonstrated behavior that’s typical of men who perpetrate emotional and verbal abuse. A former employee of the Duggars who spoke exclusively with The Hollywood Gossip tells us that many who know the Forsyth family best would not be the least bit surprised to learn that Austin is sometimes overly-harsh in his interactions with his young wife. Our source claims that like Joy, Austin was raised in an extremely strict household. And it seems the harsh lessons he learned from his overbearing father may have irreparably damaged the young man’s views on relationships: “His father governs everything that he does, from cutting cows to doing whatever,” the source tells THG, adding that Terry Forsyth offered his son a bizarre ultimatum when Austin requested permission to begin courting Joy: “He couldn’t date Joy-Anna until he flipped five houses,” the insider says. “Austin had to flip and sell five houses before he’d be allowed to date. “He went to his dad, and he said, ‘What do I need to do?’ and his dad said, ‘You need to flip five houses before you can court.'” Though Austin was already a grown man at the time, such parental demands are not entirely uncommon in the Duggars’ world, a place where there’s no such thing as casual dating, and courting is viewed as a prelude to marriage. However, like the man himself, Terry’s request of his son was viewed as unnecessarily harsh. But even before he set such a difficult challenge before Austin, Terry was something of a controversial figure around the Springdale, Arkansas community: “Terry, he’s on his second marriage, and I still haven’t figured this one out yet, he’s an officer in Paul [Caldwell]’s church, and you can’t be an officer in the church if you’ve been divorced,” the source tells us. “Austin is a prime candidate for mental abuse, because I’m sure he’s been totally mentally browbeat.” The insider elaborates: “I guarantee [Joy] is at his beck and call. To me, she really has no life with Austin. She’s just gonna be a baby factory.” Fortunately, the source says, Joy is so highly-regarded in her hometown, that if Austin ever crosses the line into physical abuse, he’ll pay dearly. “If he does abuse her in any way, there won’t be nowhere he can hide,” the informant tells us. As for the question of whether or not Joy got pregnant before marriage, our source says those who know the couple best believe there’s a distinct possibility those rumors are true. “She’d been alone with him several times. They got caught several times,” says the tipster. “I caught them kissing outside the garage door one night. They were standing in this little area where the cameras weren’t, and she went up and kissed him. “I yelled out, ‘What’s going on over there?’ I mean to tell you, they ran like scared rabbits,” our source says. The insider continued: “About an hour later I was in the garage, and Austin came up to me and said, ‘We’re only human, you know.’ “I said, ‘I know you’re human. But when you make rules, you need to follow them.'” On the question of whether or not Joy and Austin broke the rules of courtship in more serious fashion, the insider says: “She may have had sex before they were married. “She ain’t no sexpot, don’t get me wrong, but she was ready to be married.” Asked for a final impression of Austin, our source said simply: “He doesn’t have a backbone. He doesn’t have a whole lot of common sense.” It sounds like Austin should have no trouble getting along with some of Jim Bob’s other sons-in-law. Watch Counting On online for more on reality TV’s most controversial family. View Slideshow: Joy-Anna Duggar Pregnancy Raises One Huge Question

Jaime King’s Son Injured By Glass Shards After Man Attacks Car

Posted on April 5, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

On Wednesday, Jaime King’s vehicle was attacked by a man who repeatedly struck a windshield until it sent shards of glass raining down into the car. While Jaime was not in the car, her friend was in the driver’s seat … and her four-year-old son was also in the car. This is so scary. Entertainment Tonight reports that a man jumped onto King’s car and pummeled the rear windshield while it was parked on Bedford Drive. This is what sent shards of glass flying into the vehicle and even onto King’s son, James Knight Newman. He is only 4 years old. Beverly Hills police offered up their description of the event, saying:  “The suspect jumped on the rear windshield causing glass to shatter and strike the child.” Horrifying on multiple levels. It’s unclear if James was injured by the glass, but it’s hard to imagine that this event wasn’t traumatic. Police continued to describe the incident, saying: “In an effort to protect the child, the female driver exited the vehicle and confronted the suspect at which time he threw a can at her, striking her arm.” Good for her for putting herself in harm’s way to protect a 4-year-old child. It’s absolutely the right thing to do, especially when a mother has entrusted her child to your care, even for just a few minutes. King was not present at the time, but was later seen at the site of the attack. Understandably, she appeared very distraught. The man who carried out this alleged attack was later identified as Paul Francis Floyd, a 47-year-old Los Angeles man. Police report that he had also kicked another vehicle before carrying out this terrible assault upon King’s car and its occupants. As you can imagine, Floyd has been arrested. He’s being held on $100,000 bond while police continue to investigate. His charges include: -Felony child endangerment -Misdemeanor battery -Two counts of felony vandalism That first charge is what happens when you attack a vehicle containing a child and end up raining glass shards on a 4-year-old. That second charge is, we imagine, what happens when you throw a can at a woman who’s taking action to protect a child. James Knight Newman is, by all accounts, a precious and bright boy. If you’re looking for testimonials, the above photo of him was shared by Jared Eng — you know, of Just Jared fame. His parents are raising him to be well-spoken and hold good values. Jaime King herself is, of course, an outspoken feminist and dedicated to both of her sons. This must be a nightmare for her. But children lack the coping mechanisms and perspective that adults can employ to recover from trauma. As scary as this situation would be for anyone, it’s always worse for a child. Let’s hope that James is able to process this as healthily and as soon as possible. Jaime King is famously a friend of Taylor Swift. Some squadmates come and go, but Taylor is the godmother of King’s other, younger son, Leo Thames Newman. We imagine that she’ll be leaning on the support of friends in the near future as her whole family comes to grips with the aftermath of this frightening attack. She must be grateful for her unnamed friend who was in the car. Not everyone is willing to put themselves in harms way and take a bullet — or, in this case, a can — to the arm to protect their friend’s child.

Leah Messer Shares Heartbreaking Story About Her Daughter’s Disease

Posted on April 5, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Teen Mom is filled to the brim with sadness, right? All kinds of sadness too — we’ve seen children be neglected, we’ve seen the parents deal with drug addiction and domestic violence and prison. But there’s one story that pretty much takes the sadness cake when it comes to this show, and that’s the story of Leah Messer’s daughter, Ali . Ali is one of the twins Leah had as a teenager, and she suffers from a rare form of muscular dystrophy. On the show, we’ve seen Leah and Ali’s father, Corey Simms, struggle to figure out what was wrong with Ali, and we saw how heartbreaking it was when they realized how serious her condition is. We’ve seen them be told time and time again that she needs to use her wheelchair and to wear a helmet and to get help, and we’ve seen them slacking on that so she could have a more “normal” childhood. It’s the nature of Ali’s condition that as time goes on, the disease will get worse and worse . We can’t even imagine how difficult it must be to watch from Leah’s perspective. But thanks to this ridiculously tragic story she shared on Twitter, we can get a little glimpse of it. “As I’m doing Ali girls makeup she looks at me and says ‘Mom, what’s it like to see with two eyes?’ …” she wrote. “Everyday I wish I could take her place but I know there’s a greater purpose!” she added. “Just broke my heart.” … Ouch. Way back when Ali and Gracie were toddlers, Leah began noticing that there was something wrong with Ali’s eyes and legs — those were the first signs of her disease. Since then, Ali’s been wearing glasses, and now it’s clear that she’s not even able to see out of one eye. As Leah explained after this initial tweets, “this is the first time she’s asked” anything about her eyes, and “she’s starting to ask a lot of questions like this.” Thankfully though, Leah seems to have a good attitude about it all. Someone told her that Ali loves her life and she wouldn’t even want to switch places with Leah — which, yeah, obviously, it’s not like Leah was proposing a Freaky Friday scheme. “Ohh for sure!!” she replied. “I don’t think of it negatively at all. It’s just like, dayyyyuum. Sooo many take the little things in life for granted.” She also retweeted a bunch of nice messages about Ali. Things like “You continue to do everything you can for her and your love for her shines. Some days are tough, but always focus on her smile and cherish every memory.” And also “She will be phenomenal because of her struggles. She will not struggle in vain. She has purpose. Purpose to overcome and live a beautiful life.” Thanks for the good, hard cry, Leah! View Slideshow: Teen Mom & Teen Mom 2: The Complete Babies and Children Guide!

Joanna Gaines Bids Farewell to Fixer Upper

Posted on April 5, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Whether Chip and Joanna Gaines quit Fixer Upper for their family or whether they quit over a horrible contract , Fixer Upper has come to an end. Joanna is opening up on her blog and bidding the series a bittersweet farewell. But she’s not saying goodbye to fans — because they can still keep up with the Gainses. Writing on her blog , Joanna Gaines said farewell to the show that catapulted her family into the spotlight. “Tonight marks the final episode of Fixer Upper — the series finale.” That episode aired on Tuesday night. “This season of life has been rewarding, challenging, unbelievably fast and furious and nearly everything in between.” We have to admire that season of life line. “Back in September when Chip and I posted the blog announcing that this season would be our last, it still seemed so far away.” It’s been a half a year since the Gaineses announced that Fixer Upper would end after season 5 . “April felt like it was forever away, but somehow it snuck up on us.” Time these days seems to pass at such a rapid pace, even if it still seems like food takes forever to arrive when you order it. “Time is funny like that, the days sometimes seem long, but the weeks, months and even years fly past us when we least expect it.” “I really loved this final Fixer Upper season because there was such a variety of styles and projects that really kept us on our toes.” Even professionals like to be challenged sometimes. “We did everything from an old barn out in the country to a downtown loft apartment.” Those are about as different as it gets. “We also got to do some pretty unique projects like my garden house, a new build for clients, our restaurant, and an ADA compliant house for two amazing boys and their family that we met through the Tim Tebow Foundation.” They recently attended a Tim Tebow Foundation event. “Oh, and of course tonight’s episode, where we do a renovation for a Rockstar!” “We are grateful to all the families who joined in on this journey with us over the past five years — what an honor to be a part of their stories.” Joanna thanks her fans … but also reminds them that the end of Fixer Upper doesn’t mean that she and Chip are just going to evaporate. “I do want to take some time to update you on a bunch of things that are going on in our neck of the woods now that filming is over. We are so thrilled that our restaurant, Magnolia Table is finally up and running.” Prepare to get hungry, folks. “The whole project was a huge undertaking, and we are so happy that it is officially open! If you come visit the restaurant, some of Chip’s favorites are the Farm Eggs Benedict, tater tots, the bacon and eggs appetizer, and of course Chip’s Ham Sandwich.” Did that make you a little more eager for your next meal? Joanna says that it had the same effect on her. “I am currently craving the pancakes, chicken salad sandwich, lavender latte and the Gaines Bros Burger with the jalapeno drip jam. My stomach is growling as I type this!” And speaking of food … “We also finished my cookbook, Magnolia Table , which will be out April 24th. It’s a collection of recipes from my kitchen, our restaurant, and some of my favorites from family and friends.” You know that she was going to plug her book projects, folks. “Cooking is so special to me because time spent around the table with family and friends is such a gift. My hope is that this book inspires you in the kitchen and that you’ll find recipes that become tried and true favorites for your own family!” But food isn’t her primary interest, of course. “My passion is to help people in their own homes — you don’t have to be a designer to get it right. It’s not about rules and special formulas. I believe it starts by simply going with your gut and telling your story.” And remember — Chip and Joanna didn’t start home design when Fixer Upper began. “Many of you may know that we were doing construction and design years before the show came online.” Yep. They have their own company. “Our company Magnolia Design and Construction has been fixing up homes for over 15 years now and we don’t plan on stopping any time soon!” If you want to see some of those, just follow her blog. “We have some big projects in the works and we are currently renovating a few flip houses and building about 20 new homes here in town. I will be posting some pictures soon — I can’t wait for you to see all of these new designs.” And she has some adorable news about the Gaines household. “And now for a quick update on the home front. Chip continues to increase our pet population. He recently surprised us all with a new kitten AND a new puppy. Oh, sweet Chip…” “For us, the end of this final season marks the beginning of a new one.” She is of course referring to her pregnancy. “If you would have told me that I’d end this season of the show pregnant with our fifth baby, I would’ve laughed.” “Like the entire Fixer Upper opportunity as a whole, life has a way of surprising us.” But she’s adapted, and has flaunted her baby bump in a little black dress. “With our little ones getting bigger, we had this gut feeling that it was time to step back and focus on them and our businesses here in Waco, Texas.” And she credits providence with this happy coincidence. “And although that’s why we  thought we decided to step away from the show, we now realize with this little one on the way that there was a bigger plan in place for us all along.” “Season Five’s Behind the Design episodes will start airing next Tuesday, which will give you an in-depth look into the process and also some rooms you didn’t get to see in the original reveal.” So, you see, Fixer Upper is ending but the Gainses really aren’t going away just yet. “Today is really bittersweet for us. Fixer Upper is the thing that introduced our family to yours, and every Tuesday night for the past five years, we have felt you rooting us on from the other side of the screen.” It’s so touching how much she and Chip admire their fans. “We’ve said it many times, but it’s worth saying again — thank you to everyone who has walked beside us on this journey.” And she thanks both old fans and the new ones. “Whether you watched every single show since season one or you are just now tuning in, you all have been a part of this and Chip and I will always be grateful for your support.” View Slideshow: Chip Gaines: 13 Shocking Facts About the HGTV Star

Jana Duggar: Forced to Do Chores Instead of Dating?!

Posted on April 5, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Jana Duggar is 28 years old and single. That may not seem like a big deal, but Jana was raised in a family that teaches children from a young age that women are put on earth to procreate. So the fact that four of her younger sisters have now married and started families while she remains at home with Mom, Dad, and an ever-dwindling brood of siblings has got to weigh on Jana’s mind from time to time. Jana has been dubbed “the Cinderella Duggar ” due to her perceived ability to suffer in silence and devote herself to household chores. But is she really suffering or is she found fulfillment in serving her family? Complex questions, but most Duggar fans aren’t interested in seeking the answers or listening to what Jana has to say. Instead, they’d rather focus on what they believe is new evidence that the woman flat-out hates life. Recently, the Duggars posted a video of Jana doing some gardening. Seems innocent enough, but like everything else Jana does, fans quickly interpreted the activity as evidence that she’s depressed and miserably lonely. “It’s sad to watch a 28-year-old woman raising her mother’s ‘blessings.’ Too bad she can’t use her many talents for her own life,” commented one viewer . “Agreed… it’s horrible that Jana is forced to be the mom for all her younger siblings,” remarked another. Like we said, the act of growing vegetables was somehow taken as further proof that  And what does Jana have to say about all of this? Well, not much, sadly, and her silence has been interpreted as further evidence that she’s a miserable workhorse who’s being forced to shoulder the burden of her parents’ decision to sire 19 freakin’ kids. However, it’s not unusual that Jana’s not speaking up for herself, as Duggar women are rarely permitted to say what’s on their minds. It’s possible that she’s miserable, but it’s equally possible that she’s decided marriage and children are simply not for her. It’s tough to say, as most of the comments on the subject are made not by her, but by her father. “Jana is 28 years old and still single. She’s still praying about ‘the one,’” Jim Bob Duggar told the crowd at a recent Christian leadership conference. Jana’s own comments on the situation often sound forced or scripted. “I know how it feels to wait for Prince Charming to come along. I’m still waiting. Waiting is not always easy,” she said in an interview back in 2016. She’s been mostly silent on the matter ever since. Fans are desperate for Jana to find the right man, which has led to some interesting rumors over the years. Some of them have been absurd (like the reports that Jana is courting Tim Tebow ), but others have been thoroughly believable. But others have been entirely believable. Most recently, it was reported that Jana was dating Caleb Williams , who – like most of her alleged suitors – is a longtime friend of the Duggar family. Unfortunately, Williams denied the rumors and he and Jana have not been seen in one another’s presence since. So we guess Jana will remain the Cinderella Duggar for the foreseeable future. At least she’ll always have her gardening. Watch Counting On online for more on reality TV’s most controversial family. View Slideshow: Jana Duggar: 13 Reasons Why … is She Still Single?
