This Amber Portwood situation keeps getting worse and worse. Which is really saying something, because it was terrible from the very start. You probably know thar Amber was arrested in July after allegedly assaultig her boyfriend, Andrew Glennon. You probably also know about the shocking audio recordings, in which Amber can be heard beating and verbally abusing Glennon . But did you know there was another victim in all this? Well, there is — and now, like so many others before her, she's taking Amber to court. Check it out: 1. Jailbird Amber’s mugshot collection might not be as big as Jenelle Evans’ but the woman is no stranger to police custody. 2. Inmate Mom Amber has been arrested several times before, and she’s even served hard time for her violent ways. 3. Not Her First Rodeo So if anyone understands how the bail bond system works, it’s Amber. But as we’ve seen in the past, knowing that she’s doing wrong is not enough to prevent Portwood from carrying through with her actions. 4. Amber Alert Rather than going the traditional route and using her sizable fortune or taking out a loan to get out of jail, Amber took advantage of an old woman. 5. The Worst According to Starcasm, a woman named Rhonda put up $2,000 to get Portwood out of the clink after her July arrest. And of course, Amber never paid her back. 6. Help Me, Rhonda So who is Rhonda? Well, she’s 60 years old, and she has no apparent ties to Amber, which has led many to the conclusion that she’s simply a fan of the show. View Slideshow
Source: Courtesy of OWN / Courtesy of OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network Greenleaf Actresses Talk About Their Character Development And Work Relationships Have you been watching Season 4 of “Greenleaf” on OWN ? We’ve been loving it so far. The acting is impeccable, especially from the legendary Lynn Whitfield who plays Lady Mae, the Church’s First Lady. We love ALL the ladies of “Greenleaf” though and that’s why our Sr. Content Director Janeé Bolden was so excited to sit with Deborah Joy Winans (Charity Greenleaf), Desiree Ross (Sophia Greenleaf), Merle Dandridge (Grace Greenleaf) and Lynn Whitfield (Lady Mae Greenleaf) at the start of the season. Check out the interview below: Janeé Bolden:So much has changed from Season 1 to Season 4, what are you most proud of in terms of your character’s development and what surprised you most, because so many allegiances have shifted? Lynn Whitfield: I think from where it started in the very beginning with Lady Mae being this really grand sidekick who kinda ran the show, but from behind, to now her really stepping into the role of not just running things as a wife but really feeling that she can save souls, really feeling that she has a calling on her life to actually preach. From where it started, because I don’t think it was ever even expected by the writers or anything, it just kind of evolved. It was just very surprising how the evolution of Lady Mae happened, and then I think also just the evolution where I never ever thought that we would lose the church, even temporarily. That never entered Lady Mae’s mind that there was a possibility of losing it. It was just always keeping all the superficial things straight and keeping it, so it really went to the wall with this one. Deborah Joy Winans: I think I just love watching Charity grow. I loved watching her walk through these trials. I loved her handling it not so great, because that’s real. I loved seeing her humanity. And this season I loved that she stands up for herself regardless of what anyone else things. Desiree Ross: Sophia has changed a lot of ways. If you watched the previous three seasons you know she’s had quite an arc. She started out atheist and then she was Christian, then she lost her ovaries, and then this season it’s kind of nice to see how she’s coping and kind of trying to deal with making sense of this world and why is this happening. I think she’s acting out of anger just a little bit, out of resentment and it’s been an interesting ride to say the least. But it’s definitely been fun watching her shift. She’s definitely growing and realizing the world is not as perfect as she made it out to be when she first found Christianity. Merle Dandridge: For Grace, I find her really searching for identity and purpose this season, because previously it had been about outside circumstances and how she’s going to put out this fire, or how she’s going to manage that or how she’s going to attack a situation, you know, whether it’s her business or not, she’s going to put her foot in it right? And now that she’s in the pulpit and she has slayed many of her demons, suddenly it becomes time for her to look within. When you are on the platform, you have to come with your heart bare and your conscience clean and her conscience is not clean, and some of her secrets and her skeletons come out and she has to contend with that. And in so doing, she clears out the extra cobwebs so that she can see clearly, ‘What has God purposed me for?’ And how is Grace going to, after she has mended these relationships with her family, how is she going to function normally, because they’ve never had that ‘Oh yeah, let’s come over for dinner.’ They never had that. Suddenly when we start to find a connection, a common purpose and we’re slaying a common enemy, how does that change their dynamic and who is she then? It’s very interesting to me, her growth, I think she’s become a little less hotheaded and a little more responsible for her own actions. Source: Janeé Bolden / Janeé Bolden Janeé Bolden: Desiree, as one of the younger cast members, what have you learned from your co-stars? Desiree Ross: I could say so many things that I’ve learned. I’ve learned to have fun. I guess on set when I started off I was kind of a perfectionist and I learned that it’s okay to make mistakes and to move past them and to try to do better next time. I learned to have fun from Lynn. Lynn Whitfield: Awww that’s so sweet. Desiree Ross: Merle, I don’t know how to describe. I work with Merle so much, she’s taught me so many different things. I think I learn a lot by watching her. The way she does everything, just the way she moves her eyes, it’s like perfect timing. She makes me feel really calm on set. So if something were ever to go wrong I feel good. And DJ, that’s my Auntie.(everyone laughs)That’s my Auntie. DJ really calms me. Desiree Ross: I think all of them kinda taught me. I feel like when you start off acting you come in a little stiff, and I think all three of you have taught me about messing with the character, don’t get too stuck, be able to move, be flexible with everything, and just to brighten up, have fun, you’ve taught me to look at multiple perspectives, not just looking from my own. Just from watching all the little nuances that you’ve added to your characters. I don’t know. There’s just so much. The last four years, there’s no limit to what I’ve learned. Deborah Joy Winans: We learned from you. Merle Dandridge: We love you as well. You’re just as open to us. Lynn Whitfield: That’s so sweet. Desiree Ross: And you know what else I’ve learned from them? That when you have good people around you, that’s really what you need. It’s very essential to keep really good people around you. To have a strong foundation. People that are uplifting you, people that are pushing you towards God, people that are pushing you to be better motivated and to just have more fun and enjoy your life. I feel like all of these women do that for me. Deborah Joy Winans: What a sweet little baby. Lynn Whitfield: A safe space. Desiree Ross: Yeah. They feel like my safe space. I love going to work. I love staying there even when I don’t have to be there. Love it! A new episode of “Greenleaf” airs tonight, Tuesday, October 1 at 10/9 c on OWN
Source: WENN/Avalon / WENN Say it ain’t so. Bronx bred MC Remy Ma is under fire after making some insensitive comments on the latest episode of State of the Culture. During last week’s episode, Joe Budden , Brandon “Jinx” Jenkins , Eboni K. Williams and Remy Ma sat down to talk about several hot topics including Tekashi 6ix9ine , Dave East and the latest drama of former NFL player Antonio Brown . It was during the discussion surrounding rape allegations against the former New England Patriot that landed Remy in hot water. The topic at hand was narrowed in on the fact that one of Brown’s accusers a former trainer named Brittany Taylor, filed a civil suit against the former player instead of pursuing the matter criminally. During the discussion, things went from lively to shocked after Remy made the accusation that women who file civil suits in rape or sexual assault cases are “prostitutes.” “If it was a rape, first of all, why are you not going to criminal court?” Attorney Eboni K. Williams said. “Why are you not going to the police and he’s not arrested? This first accuser went the civil route. She filed a lawsuit, she’s asking for money, but some people feel like that’s the compensation that they want.” “That’s called prostitution,” Remy Ma interrupted. “I don’t think so,” Williams disagreed. “No, it’s prostitution,” Remy Ma recapitulated. “It seems like in a lot of these alleged sexual assault cases the women are asking for money. ‘Hey give me money and I’ll feel better.’ To me, in any exchange with sexual acts of being compensated with money that’s prostitution.” Do you agree with @RealRemyMa ’s point on the #AntonioBrown situation? Tweet us and let us know your thoughts!

I saw a clip of this episode and was floored. Rape victims have the RIGHT to seek relief in whatever way they choose. Rape = Non-Consensual Sex. If a victim seeks restitution they have that right. Stop victim blaming #RemyMa it’s grossly irresponsible of you. #sotc https://t.co/ODz0aVwZAV — Simply Ebony (@ebonyajohnson) September 30, 2019 Remy Ma said if anything happens to you sexually and you get money for it, you’re a sex worker…even in rape… Even Joe was like, Naaaah #SOTC Remy Ma suffers from misogyny… it’s really gross smh — ☿ρяιη¢ιρℓє нυмуη

Mackenzie McKee was barely in the last season of Teen Mom OG, but man, there was more than enough to cement her place in the show, right? The scenes with her mother tugged at everyone's heartstrings, and as if that wasn't enough to inspire viewers to tune in, there was also plenty of drama with her husband, Josh. Like, enough that they're now headed for a divorce. And according to some new statements she just made on Instagram, she's more than ready for the divorce to be finalized … 1. So Many Troubles Let’s be real, Mackenzie and Josh have never had a picture perfect relationship. 2. Memories He got her pregnant when they were teenagers, securing her spot on Teen Mom 3, and they went on to get married and have two more children together, but like … they were hardly “goals” or anything. 3. Dang It, Josh Honestly, it seemed like Josh simply tolerated Mackenzie at best. 4. Well … That’s why it wasn’t too surprising when their marriage blew up on the last season of Teen Mom OG. 5. Bringing the Drama Mackenzie popped up on the show towards the end of the season as a bit of a trial run — the idea seemed to be that if she did well, MTV would offer her a permanent spot. And, well, it seems like she really did her best. 6. Poor Angie For one, she’s currently dealing with her mother, who is suffering from cancer and was given just six months to live back in the spring. The scenes featuring this have been heartbreaking, but a lot of people have related to it as well. View Slideshow
Jenelle Evans doesn’t have the greatest track record when it comes to telling the truth. In fact, it’s a pretty safe bet that if Jenelle’s mouth is moving, she’s lying — especially if she’s talking about her mouth. Allow us to explain: For years now, Teen Mom 2 fans have been scrutinizing Jenelle’s dental situation. In photos and videos — even the ones she posts herself — it often appears that Jenelle is missing teeth. And we’re not talking about an absent molar or two that might have been knocked out in some sort of accident. No, some fans are convinced that Jenelle is missing most of her teeth and has been forced to invest in a set of dentures. Needless to say, that’s an unusual set of circumstances for young women who are still in their twenties. But in Evans’ case, there are two possible theories with regard to the cause of her jaw trauma. We know that her husband, David Eason, is abusive because … well, there’s a mountain of evidence to that effect. Most recently, Eason beat, shot and killed the family dog during one of his signature fits of rage. And that certainly wasn’t the first instance of David exhibiting violent behavior. Remember when Jenelle called 911 on David after he allegedly attacked her during a “drunk and dramatic” altercation at the couple’s home? Those who have heard the recording are unlikely to ever forget it. “My husband, he assaulted me. He pinned me down on the ground in the yard,” a sobbing Jenelle told the dispatcher. Jenelle Evans 911 Call “I think I heard my f—ing collarbone crack. I can’t move my arm.” So we suppose it comes as no surprise that some fans believe David knocked Jenelle’s teeth out. But that’s just one theory. As you probably know Jenelle has a long history of drug use , and some fans think that’s the cause of her tooth loss. Whatever the case, the rumors are persistent enough that Evans felt the need to address them un her Instagram Story on Wednesday: “Let’s put this rumor to rest everyone,” she said when a fan asked about the theory. “I have got a retainer that’s like fake teeth, and that’s what I had to straighten out my jaw,” Evans added. “I have my teeth — these are all my teeth,” Jenelle said, pointing to her mouth “And why did I need to straighten out my jaw?” she asked. “Because I have an overbite really bad, and it almost touches the bottom of my teeth.” Of course, as many have pointed out on Twitter, at no point in the video does Jenelle show her teeth without the “retainer” in her mouth. But regardless of whether or not she’s telling the truth, the saddest part of this story might be that Jenelle felt the need to make the video at all. “Isn’t it sad that you have to prove you have teeth because nobody would be surprised if you lost them because of drugs or because your husband knocked them out?” wrote one Twitter user. That just about sums this mess up. View Slideshow: Jenelle Evans Hints at Separation From David Eason, Seems to Be Missing Teeth [UPDATED]

The parents of Guyger’s victim Botham Jean burst into tears and left after they were shown footage of his death without warning. CNN reports that Judge Tammy Kemp asked for bodycam footage to be played in court that showed Jean’s final moments. After a few minutes, Botham’s parents and family and friends stood up to leave. Before their exit Botham’s mom, Allison Jean could be heard sobbing loudly while Botham’s father, Bertrum Jean, cowered in the corner covering his ears. Botham Jean's parents break down as body camera video is replayed in court. Allison Jean left the room in tears. https://t.co/edlGqNMBIf #BothamJean #AmberGuygerTrial : Tom Fox / @dallasnews pic.twitter.com/IsKke8A1bs — Meredith Yeomans (@YeomansNBC5) September 25, 2019 Judge Kemp apparently didn’t know that the family hadn’t been warned and she apologized. “I’m so sorry. I didn’t give any thought to the alleged victim’s family,” Kemp said. CNN has been following the parents during the trial and they add that Amber Jean has been in therapy and fasting and praying every Saturday every 30 minutes for “courage to deal with the trial and acceptance of the outcome.” Botham Jean’s family is suing Guyger and the city of Dallas. The former cop and her lawyers have argued that Guyger “mistook Botham’s apartment for her own” when she killed him. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Jean family, we hope they find peace and most importantly, justice at the end of this trial.
