17 Truly Shocking Reality TV Scandals

Reality TV may help its stars earn a pretty penny, but it doesn't make their lives any less scandalous.  The Hollywood Gossip has rounded up some of the biggest scandals to rock reality TV. Seriously, these are huge — and yet not all are that surprising. Know what we mean? Just think of the kind of person it takes to actually go on reality television, right? Scroll down to read through each one… 1. Chrisley Most Definitely Does NOT Know Best Todd and Julie Chrisley, the stars of USA Network’s wildly successful reality series, Chrisley Knows Best were indicted on 12 counts of tax evasion and financial fraud in August 2019. They face up to 30 years in prison. Wowza, right? There are even rumors that their reality show is about to be canceled. It’s not like they can take the cameras into prisons, you guys. 2. TLC Swings the Axe on Here Comes Honey Boo Boo Viewers were already disgusted with the antics from the Thompson-Shannon family, but things reached another level when news spread like wildfire that June Shannon was dating her daughter’s former molester. In a word? YUCK. 3. June Shannon Makes the Same Mistakes All Over Again To the surprise of many, June Shannon and her family returned to the spotlight thanks to We TV’s From Hot to Not — a series that focuses Shannon getting a body transformation. Despite the series, and extensive cosmetic surgery being a success, Shannon found warmth in the arms of another man who was less than savory. To everyone on the outside, it looks like June is addicted to crack cocaine. Hell, she was arrested for felony possession of a controlled substance and drug paraphernalia in March 2019. Even an intervention months later failed to get June to dump her boyfriend, Geno Doak. Will another TV show be canceled as a result of her dumb decisions? 4. Big Brother 15’s Racism Big Brother has had its fair share of controversial houseguests, but Season 15 featured many of them being racist. It was horrible to watch, but Julie Chen managed to call all of the perpetrators out during their exit interviews. You don’t cross Julie and get away with it! 5. Jon & Kate Plus Lots of H8 Jon & Kate Plus 8 performed very well in the ratings because the titular stars seemed to love each other. All of that came crashing down when it emerged that they were not on the same page and couldn’t stand one another. Yikes. 6. Abby Lee Miller Dances Her Way Behind Bars Abby Lee Miller was sentenced to one year in prison for fraud after creating a secret bank account to hide her lavish income from the IRS. Despite having to quit her post on Dance Moms, she returned shortly after leaving jail. View Slideshow

Jenelle Evans Gets Roasted For Increasingly Desperate Cash Grabs

Believe it or not, it's been three months since Jenelle Evans was fired from Teen Mom 2 . For many fans, the reality that Evans is no longer a part of the show will only dawn on them when a new season premieres with Jade Cline in her place . But it seems that for Jenelle, the truth of her sad situation is already hitting home. The bad news is, she still appears to have several revenue streams available to her. The good news is, they're drying up rapidly. Take a look: 1. Sponsored Content Jenelle has hawked just about every type of product imaginable on her Instagram page. And she’s grown increasingly desperate since getting fired. 2. Clickbait Evans’ most lucrative hustle these days is posting clickbait tabloid articles about her former castmates. 3. Mouths to Feed We guess it’s not entirely Jenelle’s fault. After all, she has kids to raise and an unemployed husband. What’s she supposed to do, get a real job? Make David go to work?! 4. Editor’s Note: (Before you go roasting us in the comments section, please note that we’re being sarcastic. Jenelle and David should both get real jobs ASAP.) 5. The Clock Is Ticking Yes, the stakes are high, and the window of opportunity is narrow. Sure, right now Jenelle has a big enough social media following that she can rake in the bucks from sponsored posts — but that might not be the case for long. 6. Irons In the Fire To her credit, Evans seems to realize this, which is why she and David are launching businesses like it’s going out of style these days. View Slideshow

Miley Cyrus to Liam Hemsworth: Sorry, But I Needed Some New Dong! (And a Little Vajay!)

By now, you’ve probably heard the news that Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth have separated after less than a year of marriage. At this point, media outlets of every stripe have had their say, as insiders and unnamed sources continue to theorize about what may have led these two to call it quits. Obviously, the photos of Miley making out with Kaitlynn Carter  have led many to the conclusion that Miley needed something Liam couldn’t provide for her. And based on the latest report from Radar Online, it seems that assessment might not be far off. An insider tells the site that Miley put real effort into settling down, but in the end — she just couldn’t be tamed. “She was bored in her marriage and she was bored in bed with Liam,” says a source . The insider adds that Miley did not keep her feelings to herself, but instead told Liam how she felt “many times.” Though Hemsworth was “willing to change things up by bringing in another partner,” the source said Cyrus “needed more than that” and may have arrived at the conclusion that she’s more attracted to women. “She really did try her best to fit into this wife role at first, but she is just not ready to be a domesticated housewife,” the insider claims. While the split apparently did not come as a total shock to Hemsworth, he was reportedly stunned by how quickly Miley moved on. According to the source, “heartbroken” Hemsworth “was completely caught off guard” by Cyrus’ pics with Carter. It seems Miley is also having a hard time with the separation, but she’s receiving much-needed support from her siblings. Her parents, on the other hand, are openly wondering if she made the right decision. “Miley’s sisters support her and just want her to be happy,” the insider says. “Her mom Tish and dad Billy Ray are not quite there yet though,” the source adds. “They really love Liam, and Miley’s parents wanted nothing more than for her to have some children so that they could have grandbabies.” As for the reports that Miley and Kaitlynn are dating , they appear to be bogus — and that’s probably a good thing. Sounds like Miley should probably figure out some things about herself before she jumps into another relationship. View Slideshow: Miley Cyrus Risks Catastrophic Nip-Slip on Saturday Night Live

Britney Spears Court Case Reveals She’s Addicted to Shopping at Target

Well, it’s official — Britney Spears is now the most relatable celebrity on the planet. It seems that despite Brit’s status as a bonafide A-lister and pop goddess, she’s just like the rest of us, in that she still can’t resist the allure of a good Target shopping spree. Entertainment Tonight has obtained court documents related to Spears’ ongoing conservator case , which shed new light on the singer’s financial situation. Some of the revelations are not surprising, such as the fact that Brit is worth nearly $60 million. Others have caught fans off guard — including the fact that Britney shopped at Target at least 80 times in 2018. Yes, that’s more than once a week — and it seems Spears is 100% vulnerable to that thing where you go in for toothpaste and wind up filling two carts with crap you don’t need. According to the documents, Spears spent more than $66,000 on household supplies alone last year. To put that in perspective, her travel expenses only totaled $70,000. (Obviously, the term “only” is used relative to Spears’ Windex and Swiffer pads budget.) To be fair, the supplies were not purchased at Target exclusively, but also at Home Depot, Walmart, Bed, Bath & Beyond, 7-Eleven and Amazon. But just for the hell of it, let’s say that Brit dropped $60k at Target last year. (Certainly not an outlandish figure, considering all the things you can buy there in addition to cleaning products and jumbo drums of fish oil capsules.) That would mean she dropped roughly $750 per visit. That’s a lot of graphic tees! Obviously, outside of her constant “Target run and dones,” Brit’s life is very different from the lives of most of her fans. For starters, she’s in court battling for control of her wildly lucrative estate. That’s just not a struggle that most of us can relate to. On top of that, Spears’ day-to-day living expenses totaled roughly $400,000 in 2018. That’s considerably more than most of us spend on or visits to Tar-jay. Still, it’s refreshing to find out that a multi-millionaire celeb has kept in touch with her working class roots in such an endearing way. (Especially since we would’ve pegged Brit as more of a Wal-Mart gal.) Sometimes, you just need to pick up some patio furniture, a smart watch, a giant bag of Cool Ranch Doritos, and a copy of This Is Us Season 2 on Blu-ray. And no matter how much wealth and fame you acquire, there’s still only one stop for that kind of shopping.

Jed Wyatt Hopes Young Men Learn From His Cold-Hearted Idiocy

Jed Wyatt made a very small mistake during his time on The Bachelorette. He slept with a woman prior to leaving for the show … told this woman that he loved her… never broke up with her… and then never told Hannah Brown that this woman existed. When Brown learned the truth, two days after she accepted an engagement ring from Wyatt, she pulled the plug on this romance. Now, a few weeks after the dramatic Bachelorette finale aired and Wyatt was exposed as total liar and douche canoe, Jed says he just wants to be viewed as a role model. He says he hopes young men out there can learn from all the ways he went wrong. Talking late last week to friend Haley Ringo on the talk show LAnded Late Night, Wyatt was asked where he hopes to be in five months. Once all this controversial dust settles, does Wyatt have any hopes for where he’ll be? Mentally? Physically? Spiritually? “I want to be just an all-around better person,” he said in response, adding in greater detail: “I mean, leading into the show, I just really felt like I did know who I was, you know, but I learned so much from this. From the mistake, from the journey, the whole — I learned so much. “I want to apply it to my life. “Like I said on the podcast, I do want to focus on my spiritual and mental health. I want to be surrounded with my friends, do fun things, fish a lot, sing, the things that make me who I am. I want to do all of that.” That sounds great and everything It even sounds like Jed has maybe learned something throughout this ordeal. But here’s the thing; All he had to do was break things off withh is girlfriend back home before going on a show specifically designed to help him find a wife. That doesn’t seem like a lesson anyone needs to learn ; it should just be innate, you know? (Also: Do not bash this girlfriend several months later , dude.) Stepping up way high on a soapbox, Wyatt later said in this same interview that he wants others out there to NOT follow his example. He wants them to learn from his sins. “To other guys out there who – they’re just out having a good time, they’re young and they’re having fun… I would want them to kind of see and understand that you never know when you’re gonna meet your person,”  he said. Expressing regret over losing Hannah, he continued: “Could be today, could be tomorrow, could be ten years from now, but the person that you are leading into that means everything. I want to help other guys see that. “You just never know and there’s no better feeling than looking at someone and know that that is your person. You can mess that up by playing with other people’s emotions.” Hannah, of course, is actually single right now and recently admitted that she’s struggling . So if Jed were really serious, it could conceivably make a move to get back together with her. But we doubt she’d go for that, even if Wyatt did sound contrite on ABC’s After the Final Rose special. “First and foremost, from the bottom of my heart, I want you to know that I’m sorry,” he told her after getting dumped. “Apparently, they’ve already shown where I half apologized but, especially in hindsight, now that I’ve had time to review myself and my past and my behaviors towards not only you but other people, I fully see that I wasn’t the best that I could be. “And by lacking details to you, the things that you deserve, and the things that you want, it kind… ruined what we found here in a place that I never would have expected to find love like this with someone that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. “And I know that you felt the same and I’m sorry that I took away that experience from you. I’m sorry that this has hurt your family, your friends, Bachelor Nation, everyone, my family, I’m sorry. “I’m responsible for this. I will own up to it all day.” View Slideshow: The Bachelorette Stars: Where Are They Now?

Jenelle Evans: I’m Finally Launching My Makeup Line, Dude!

Well, let it not be said that we here at The Hollywood Gossip can't admit when we're wrong. For years, Jenelle Evans has been talking about her makeup line , and for years, we've been saying it'll probably never happen. Well, it looks like we were mistaken. Multiple sources are now indicating that Evans and her team have selected a launch date for JE Cosmetics. But will the products actually wind up in stores this time, or will this launch date quietly come and go, like so many others over the years? Here's what we know about the situation thus far: 1. Finally Yes, folks, it’s all happening! Jenelle Evans is finally launching her makeup line! But some fans are still skeptical that the products will actually be made available to the public. 2. Looking Back Jenelle, of course, has been teasing the release of her makeup line for YEARS now, and a pattern has emerged in her promotional efforts. 3. Makeup Shake-Ups It goes something like this: Jenelle announces a vague launch schedule (a certain month or season); said month or season comes and goes; Jenelle never explains why the launch didn’t happen. 4. But This Time … This time, however, things are somewhat different, in that Jenelle has announced a specific date for the release of her long-, long-awaited makeup line. 5. Start Getting In Line Now! According to announcements made on her Instagram page and some event called Miami Swim Week, JE Cosmetics will be available for purchase on September 19! 6. Inauspicious Start Unfortunately, the launch is already off to a rocky start, as the announcement has been deleted from Jenelle’s Instagram page. View Slideshow

Kris Jenner: Pressuring Scott Disick to Propose to Sofia Richie?!

We probably don’t need to tell you that the Kardashian-Jenner clan is not your typical family. For example, most moms probably wouldn’t be too thrilled with a guy who got their daughter pregnant three times, refused to marry her, cheated on her repeatedly, and is now dating a woman literally half her age. But for reasons that aren’t entirely clear, Kris Jenner is still a big fan of Scott Disick. In fact, she’s so tight with former pseudo-son-in-law that Kris and Scott produced a reality show together . Unfortunately, Sunday night’s season premiere of Flip It Like Disick wasn’t exactly a smash hit. It’s almost like there’s already 47,000 house-flipping shows on basic cable; TV audiences are pretty much over the Kardashians, and they especially don’t care about Scott now that he’s no longer with Kourtney. Weird. Anyway, it’s a testament to Kris’ clout at E! that she was able to get execs to bankroll such an obviously ill-fated project. And it’s a testament to her work ethic that she’s still trying to figure out a way to get it picked up for a second season. Kris has been in this game a long time, and she likely knew from the start that viewers would be tuning in more to check in on Scott’s personal life than to see if he’ll be able to turn a profit in the real estate game. And so, her answer to the show’s dismal ratings is to drum up some interest in Scott’s relationship with Sofia Richie. Scott and Sofia have been dating  for almost two years, which is more than a little gross, considering she’s 20 and he’s 36. Anyway, despite her youth, Disick and Richie are reportedly considering marriage, and apparently, Kris is pushing him to act now, so as to score some free advertising for Flip It . “Kris is trying to push Scott to propose so that they can capture it on camera, and he is not having any of it,” a source close to the situation tells Radar Online. Yes, its seems that Kris sees this as a “two birds with one stone” situation, but Scott’s not sharing her somewhat cynical perspective:  “He wants to do this under his terms, and everyone is getting really impatient,” says the source. “Scott loves Sofia, this is obvious, but he refuses to be forced into anything.” And it seems Disick might be feeling the pressure from more than one source: “Sofia is getting very impatient,” says a different source. “She has been trying to remain confident that he will want to marry her, but her hope is starting to dwindle.” We can understand why Scott would be reluctant to propose, but he has no one but himself to blame for this situation. There are two old adages that one should always keep in mind: 1. Don’t date a teenager and expect them not to act impulsively, and  2. Don’t launch a business venture with Kris Jenner and not expect to give up your right to any sort of personal privacy. Words to live by.

Jinger Duggar: Did She Just Hint That She’ll Allow Her Daughter to Play Sports?!

We probably don’t need to tell you that the Duggars have a lot of crazy ideas when it comes to gender roles. Women are expected to birth and raise whole litters of human beings, but are seldom allowed to participate in such “manly” activities as working outside the home, wearing pants, or engaging in unauthorized physical activity. And that’s not our sly way of referencing the Duggars’ ban on premarital sex. Most types of manual labor and virtually all sports are off-limits to Duggar women, as well. But leave it to the family’s resident rebel, Jinger Duggar, to mess with the established order of things. You see, in his youth, Jinger’s husband, Jeremy Vuolo, pursued a career as a professional soccer player. He made it quite far, playing goalkeeper for the New York Red Bulls and San Antonio Scorpions, both of the Major League Soccer organization. But when Jeremy’s soccer career was cut short, he turned his attention to what he considers to be his true calling — leading worship services. And that’s how the Vuolos wound up in Los Angeles, where Jeremy is currently attending divinity school. And what does all of this have to do with Duggar girls and sports? Well, earlier this week, Jinger and Jeremy attended a soccer game with their young daughter Felicity in tow. The match was between the Jeremy’s Red Bulls and the Los Angeles Football Club. The game itself was likely as boring as any soccer game. (Sorry, fans!) But one photo posted by Jinger really has fans talking: “It looks like she wants to be a goalkeeper like her daddy,” Jinger captioned the above photo of Felicity. Naturally, Jinger’s followers were giddy with the possibility that the mother of one might once again defy her parents’ rules. “Nothing wrong with sports, just hard to play soccer in a skirt,” wrote one commenter. “Is she allowed to play sports according to your beliefs?” asked another. “Love this. Start early!” a third exclaimed. Interestingly, Jeremy’s previous career — and his confessions about the life he lived as a college and professional athlete — are among the reasons that Jinger’s parents are less than crazy about the guy. “I was part of the college party scene and was not living wisely. I began sliding down the slippery, destructive slopes of lust, selfishness, and pride,”  Vuolo once wrote on his personal website. “But as my life in the party-scene continued to decline, my performance on the field, as well as the relationships with those around me, also declined,” he continued. “It did not take very long for me to realize that my sin was catching up with me quickly.” Jeremy concluded his piece: “My lifelong passion of playing soccer for a living began to dwindle as a burning desire to serve God as a preacher and a pastor was growing.” You would think that last part would be enough to endear him to Jim Bob — but apparently, it wasn’t. So you know Jeremy would absolutely love it if his daughter flipped a big middle finger to her grandfather by growing up to be a pious soccer star.

Jay Smith: Get to Know His Mistress-Turned-Girlfriend, Kayla O’Brien

It's been maybe a week since notorious 90 Day Fiance cheater Jay Smith went Instagram official with his girlfriend . But fans don't really know much about Kayla O'Brien, except that she was Jay's mistress for months before Ashley found out and dumped Jay. Rumors — some of them pretty outlandish — have circulated, and some aren't sure what to believe. Here's everything that we know about Kayla.   1. Kayla is Jay’s girlfriend It was obvious for a while, but finally confirmed when they went “Instagram official,” uploading photos of themselves together for the first time early this month. 2. How long have they been dating? Since January. On January 11, Ashley filed to divorce Jay over his barbershop bang. On January 22, she took him back after he rushed to her side when she was hospitalized with kidney failure. They vowed to make it work … but clearly, Jay’s words were hollow. 3. When did the public learn her name? When Jay turned himself in on July 3 and went into ICE custody for violating a Protection From Abuse order, it was Kayla who took the reigns of his social media — and who started a GoFundMe account. She used her own name … but only referred to herself as “Jay’s friend.” 4. And she greeted him when he got out Ultimately, it wasn’t her GoFundMe but Jay’s boss who bailed him out, but clearly, they were happy to see each other. 5. Is she pregnant? Ashley Martson started a rumor in a recent interview, saying: “From what I saw at court she could’ve been expecting. So if I sign [for him] I would be responsible for paying his child support. No way in hell am I going to put my name on that line. There’s no way.” 6. No That rumor has been debunked — in part by recent photos of Kayla looking not pregnant and also drinking. View Slideshow

Jared Haibon Reflects on Wedding to Ashley Iaconetti, Makes All of Bachelor Nation Cry

WARNING: You will need a box of tissues while reading the following post. Actually, you better make it two boxes. Just to be safe. On Monday morning, just several hours after exchanging vows with Ashley Iaconetti — in front of friends, family members and loved ones in Rhode Island — Jared Haibon jumped on Instagram and gushed over his brand new wife. And we mean he GUSHED over her. “There’s so many emotions running through my body right now,” Jared wrote on Instagram alongside a photo from his wedding day. He continued in equally sentimental fashion: “I woke up yesterday morning, the day of my wedding, crying. Not from sadness, or fear. I was crying because I was so overwhelmed with happiness, excitement, gratefulness and humbleness. “Ashley is my best friend, my person, my soulmate and now my wife. I love this woman more than words will ever allow me to express.” Ashley and Jared starred together on Bachelor in Paradise Season 2 and got engaged on Bachelor in Paradise Season 5. In between, they dated on and off until Jared admits he got a “kick in the ass” by seeing Ashley in a serious relationship with someone else. At that point, in early 2018, the pair got serious and then got engaged a few months later. Added Haibon in this new Instagram message: In the coming days/weeks/months, I’ll be sharing so many pictures and videos from our wedding because it was the best day of my life. At this moment, I truly feel like the luckiest man in the world. According to various insiders and outlets, the romantic  wedding featured personal vows from both the bride and groom. Bachelor in Paradise producer Elan Gale officiated and familiar names in attendance included Nick Viall, Dean Unglert and couple Jason Tartick and Kaitlyn Bristowe. Elsewhere, American Idol’s David Cook actually perform “Ever the Same” for the couple’s first dance, just like he did at our wedding. Just kidding. This one sounds far more special than that of anyone on The Hollywood Gossip staff. “It was just a big party! The DJ played a lot of Disney songs, musical soundtracks and Backstreet Boys—the music was very Ashley,” an E! source says, adding: “There was a lot of dancing and it went pretty late but a bunch of people continued partying afterward… “Ashley was a glowing gorgeous bride. She was so happy all night. You could tell they both were so happy.” What else do we know about the big day? The bride and groom exchanged Neil Lane wedding bands — and Dunkin’ Donuts even teamed with Banga Portrait Studio to provide custom edible photo donuts as an extra-special treat. How fun! View Slideshow: The Bachelorette Stars: Where Are They Now? We send Ashley and Jared nothing but the best wishes on what we hope will be a perpetual future together. They seem so in love!
