Meri Brown Makes a Plea: I’m a Good Person, Okay?!?

Meri Brown is here to explain herself. She’s here to sort of defend herself. She’s here to help followers gain a better understand of just who she is as a person. The only question remaining is this: WHY?!? On Sunday evening, the seemingly unhappy Sister Wives star shared a meme on her Instagram Story that featured a hand holding a heart. It also featured the following words: At the end of the day, I’m a good woman. I’m not perfect by any means but my intentions are good, my heart is pure and I love hard with everything I’ve got and because of those things … I’m worth it. Always have been and always will be. The mysterious post comes just a few days after the entire Sister Wives universe appeared to blow up . As previously reported, Meri looks to be moving away from the family in Arizona, while even Robyn Brown has allegedly put her house on the market and may also be leaving Kody Brown in the dust. This latter decision comes as a major surprise to long-time fans of this reality show because Robyn has always been billed as Kody’s favorite better half. Meri, conversely, has clearly been dissatisfied with her situation for almost as long as we can remember. She and Kody divorced years ago so that he could legally marry Robyn, but they’ve remain spiritually together ever since. Still, this hasn’t prevented Meri from trying to date; nor has it prevented Kody from acknowledging that serious issues exist between himself and this particular wife. Earlier this year, during a Sister Wives reunion special, Kody and Meri sat side-by-side and opened up about the challenges they’ve been facing as a rather unsual couple. “We have a commitment to a marriage,” Kody said on this TLC special, adding of himself and Meri: “We’re moving forward. We’re steadily working on a direction that’s fully mended.” Was Meri really on the same page, however? A few months after this special aired, Meri appeared to hurl a large amount of shade at her fellow Sister Wives, writing on social media: I wish more women realized that helping another woman win, cheering her on, praying for her, or sharing a resource with her, does NOT take away from the blessings coming to them. In fact, the more you give, the more you receive. Empowering women doesn’t come from selfishness but rather from selflessness. The veteran reality star simply left it at that, however, as she clearly excels at remaining cryptic and hard to decipher online. Take what she wrote on On August 6, for instance, when Brown shared a graphic about being a Capricorn that said: “Most Capricorns can admit they’ve been called every name in the book simply because they ‘appeared’ mean or bossy. “No, they just have a strong personality that is less tolerant of the crap people tend to dish out.” Well… okay then, right?!? For her part, Meri hasn’t talked in too much detail about her and Kody’s many obstacles over the years, simply admitting they exist back during this reunion special. “It was not moving in a positive direction for a really long time prior to the realization,” Meri said of the relationship at the time, adding: “From that point, he and I and everybody had to figure out what we really wanted and move forward from there.” View Slideshow: Kody Brown: In the Market for a 5th Wife?!?

Lauren Duggar GLOWS In New Baby Bump Pic

It wasn’t long ago that Lauren and Josiah Duggar revealed to the world that they were expecting a baby girl . The couple recently took a break from Duggar Baby Mania to celebrate their first wedding anniversary . Now it’s back to business as Lauren blesses her fans with a new baby bump photo, and from the looks of it, she couldn’t be happier! On Sunday Lauren posted this latest pic to the joint Instagram account that she and Josiah share. The shot shows Laruen smiling peacefully as she looks down at her ever-growing belly. Maybe it’s the pregnancy, maybe it’s a filter, but Lauren’s definitely got a healthy glow about her. Lauren is sporting one of her characteristically modest outfits — a light blue, spaghetti-strap maxi dress with a geometric pattern, over a plain white t-shirt. The look seems comfy, and elegant in its simplicity. The shot is also smartly staged, with Lauren’s dress really popping against the greenery of the background. In the caption, Lauren says she feels blessed by this new preganancy, but also reflects on the pain of losing her first one. “Life is such a gift and something I cherish more now,” Lauren captions, “with all that we have gone through this past year.” “This pregnancy hasn’t been easy,” the 20-year-old reveals. But she is definitely grateful to have this second chance. “I treasure every moment,” Lauren says. She believes “Life is truly a miracle from God.” Lauren concludes her caption with some thankful hashtags: #blessed, #lifeisagift, and #donttakelifeforgranted Fans loved the post and the look, taking to the comments section to show their adoration. Lauren’s sisters-in-law, Anna and Jill Duggar, each showed their approval by leaving pink heart emoji, with Jill adding, “Beautiful mama!” We all know the Duggar girls are tight-knit, but it’s still sweet to see how they support each other on and off social media. As fans saw throughout Season 9 of  Counting On , the Duggar clan was extremely supportive of Lauren and Josiah after they lost their first pregnancy. The couple went through a difficult time as they mourned the loss of the baby they were so excited to meet. But on May 20th, there was joy on the horizon as the pair took to Instagram to annouce they were expecting again ! “We are so excited to annouce that baby #2 is on the way!!!!,” they wrote in the caption.  But even this joyous news was tinged with a hint of sadness, with the couple revealing the name they would have given their first child. “As we rejoice of the life of our second sweet baby, we also remember … our other sweet baby, Asa, in heaven.” “God is so incredibly good!” Their caption concluded. Throughout their heartbreaking stuggle with the miscarriage, Lauren and Josiah remained hopeful. It’s nice to see their patience rewarded with a sweet new baby on the way. So far, there’s no word on what name the two have picked out for their new baby girl. But the Duggars have mastered the art of letting more baby news trickle out on a regular basis. We’re betting we’ll know more about Lauren and Josiah’s next bundle of joy any day now. View Slideshow: Josiah and Lauren Duggar Reveal Gender of First Baby (EEEEK!!!!!)

The seasoned makeup artist has been on sets for years collaborating with brands like the The Colored Girl Collective on bold presentations that highlight the beauty of Black women, and being featured in style segments for publications like Essence .

Designed to select representatives to be ambassadors for the international beauty conglomerate for one calendar year the competition for a slot was stiff, but Watson never faltered. Shortly after the announcement of this year’s picks she talked to Hello Beautiful about what it took stand out in the crowd of candidates.

I told my manager at the time ‘Look I’m not going to be a cashier I’m going to be on the floor doing makeup and selling makeup, and then I just went in and I proved myself.

Practicing for a career in the spotlight through the competition. “I want to work on commercials,” she revealed. Not having formal training didn’t intimidate her. “Skill you can always gain a skill,” she said. “But your unique personality, your unique look, your unique style is what speaks.” She saw doing things like finding her lighting and practicing poses as chance to “stretch me artistically.” She campaigned hard swapping out a portion of her usual inspirational “morning gram” videos for stylized tutorials and photos that showed her ability to represent the brand in static or video format. Now that she has proven her versatility she hopes to use her platform with Sephora to reach a bigger audience so she can inspire more people. “I hope I can make a difference for anyone male, female, Black , white, Asian by letting them know that there’s someone like them out there letting them know that there is someone that’s a representation of them.” Placement in the Sephora Squad will give Watson the opportunity to not only appear in digital advertisements representing the interests of the brand to the everyday person to others it will allow her to advocate for diversity to brand decision makers . She doesn’t yet know how she will speak up for others in the space, but she is making it a priority to continue being her “bold, honest and outgoing,” self. “Sephora is a universal place it’s a universal playground. It opens a lot of fields for me. I want to be a representation for women of color there. This is how I’m going to make an impact by doing what I love.” DON’T MISS: MODEL MONDAY: A Free Plane Ticket Launched Gabby Fé’s Plus Size Modeling Career MODEL MONDAY: HBCU Dancer DaQuendra Elston Never Let Her Size Hold Her Back MODEL MONDAY: Ambre Anderson Went From Staying On A Couch To Owning A Condo By Keeping Focused [ione_media_gallery src=”https://hellobeautiful.com” id=”3054496″ overlay=”true”]

Here’s How Jussie Smollett’s Character Will Exit From ‘Empire’

Read the original post:

Source: Jun Sato / Getty The executives over at FOX have revealed how they will have Jussie Smollett ’s character make a smooth exit from the series  Empire. “He’s on his honeymoon,” entertainment president Michael Thorn told The Wrap at the Television Critics Association press tour. “He’s on his honeymoon and working on some projects abroad… that’s how we hear about him at the beginning of the season.” Thorn added that they have already started shooting the episodes for the final season and the writers haven’t decided what else will be added to Jamal’s story. Text “RICKEY” to 71007 to join the Rickey Smiley Morning Show mobile club for exclusive news.  ( Terms and conditions ). “Honestly, I prefer to leave it at that because we’re only five or six episodes into the breaking of the season and I would rather the writers tell that story, rather than me guessing where it might go,” Thorn said. Smollett was fired from the FOX series after he was accused of staging a hate crime against himself, recruiting two people who he had worked with and paid for fitness services to be a part of the scheme.  Smollett had even did an interview with where he described the alleged attack in detail and even dubbed himself “the gay Tupac” after he “survived” the ordeal. After his investigation played out in the media, Smollett became a casuality of the cancel culture. While some celebs and fans stood with him, many others poked fun at him (i.e Chris Rock at the NAACP Image Awards ) and dismissed him. Smollett has been lowkey since the scandal has died down.

In White Folks News: Miley Cyrus & Kaitlynn Carter Are Caught Kissing & Kaitlynn’s Ex Brody Jenner Has Snide Reaction

Source: Xavier Collin/Kenneth Chan / Splash News Brody Jenner Makes Snide Reference To Miley Cyrus’s Ex Liam Hemsworth After Miley Kisses Kaitlynn Carter Things are getting a tad messy in the land of the wealthy and separated. If you’re not caught up, Miley Cyrus recently split with her husband Liam Hemsworth after less than a year of being married. Meanwhile, The Hills: New Beginnings star Brody Jenner also split from his wife Kaitlynn Carter after a year of tying the knot, according to PEOPLE . Now the juicy part is, Miley and Kaitlynn recently took a little boat trip with some friends near Lake Como in Italy, and photos caught the pair sneaking some kisses . It’s possible these weren’t some buddy-buddy pecks either, considering Miley has said before that she’s “very sexually attracted to women.” Photos on Kaitlynn’s Instagram definitely show that the two are pretty tight. View this post on Instagram rock the boat, don’t rock the boat baby A post shared by Kaitlynn Carter (@kaitlynn) on Aug 9, 2019 at 3:08pm PDT   Mhmmmm. Meanwhile, on Sunday, Brody posted a photo of himself posing near some body of water and he captioned the pic, “Don’t let yesterday take up too much of today.” Brody’s Hills costar Brandon Thomas Lee decided to reference the Miley and Kaitlyn outing with a comment: “Let’s round this scandal out and post a pic of us making out.” This is when Jenner quickly replied: “Watch out! Pics of Liam and I holding hands on the beach coming soon.” Clearly, Miley peeped the fun in the comment sectioned and clapped back with a comment of her own: “Go take a nap in your truck and cool off #HotGirlSummer.” Receipts can be found here . Ironically, before all this, Brody commented on Kaitlyn’s picture with Miley, writing “Hot girl summer.” It seems Miley was only echoing the words Brody already wrote. Makes you wonder if Brody will support Miley and Kaitlyn if they were to become a couple. We won’t hold our breath.

Bethenny Frankel Honors Dennis Shields, Pays Tribute to Late Ex

Bethenny Frankel wishes she did not need to take to Instagram yesterday. She wishes things were different. She really wishes August 10 would not be a date forever seared into her mind, for the most terrible and tragic of reasons. But this is reality for the veteran Bravo star and reality is that Bethenny’s ex-boyfriend, Dennis Shields, died one year ago yesterday. In his memory and in his honor, Frankel penned a heartwarming tribute to Shield online several hours ago. “One year ago today, I woke up to a beautiful sunny day with @biggysmallz by the pool, and my world crumbled and turned upside down in an instant,” the Real Housewife wrote to open a caption that accompanied the photo below. It continued: “A man Dennis, who I loved and respected, who was in my life for 30 years unexpectedly passed away.” Shields was found dead in his Trump Tower apartment last August. He was only 51 years old at the time and he had been in and out of Bethenny’s life for years; the two may not have been dating when Dennis actually died, but they remained very close. According to The New York Post, Shields passed away due to a prescription pills overdose. Referencing her two well-known dogs, Frankel continued in her tribute on Saturday: Dennis insisted we adopt biggy AND smallz for my daughter Peanut. He simply couldn’t imagine separating them. We racked our brains staying up late coming up with the perfect name for two dogs from the same litter with very different body types. Thing 1 & Thing 2 was an option but Peanut found it degrading. Lenny & Squiggy was a good one but I knew it would only appeal to the over 40 set. Then at 5am, Dennis was waiting for me to wake up and in his stronger than Tequila New Yawk accent said “BIGGY AND SMALLZ” and two stars were born. He loved these dogs and the feelings were mutual. They were particularly fond of his salty bald head. According to TMZ last summer, Shields told paramedics and police in his final moments that he had taken his prescribed oxycodone and Vicodin, along with a sleeping pill. He was simply trying to address persistent pain in his back. Alas, the combination of these drugs proved fatal in the end. Added Frankel 365 days later: “At times, it seemed like he and [the dogs] spoke the same language and they were the only ones who understood him. He was a loving, sweet, gentle, brilliant, complicated, hilarious, creative and supportive man. “He is missed terribly by so many but lives on in his friends and family and furry loved ones.” Concluded Bethenny: “I am a different person and in a different emotional place than I was a year ago, and the wounds have begun to heal but the scar will remain on my heart forever.” In closing, Frankel simply wrote: RIP, August 10. #Unforgettable May Dennis Shields rest in peace.
