It's been over a month since Amber Portwood was arrested on domestic violence charges . Given all that Andrew Glennon has endured thus far in the relationship, many Teen Mom OG fans assumed the couple would be back together by now. But that's not the case. In fact, it seems that both parties are gearing up for what promises to be a very ugly custody battle. For obvious reasons, Amber has taken most of the blame for the current state of affairs, but now, her supporters are accusing Andrew of capitalizing on her fragile mental state and tormenting her via Facebook. Take a look: 1. The Formerly Happy Family Amber and Andrew’s relationship has always been a tumultuous one. But we don’t think anyone expected the breakup to get THIS ugly! 2. Angry Amber As you’ve probably heard by now, Amber was arrested in July, after she allegedly attacked Glennon while he was holding the couple’s 1-year-old child. 3. Grisly Detail Amber reportedly went after Andrew with a machete and attempted to break the door down when he locked himself in a bedroom. 4. A Deeply Troubled Woman Glennon further alleges that Amber attempted suicide by swallowing a handful of Klonopin tablets, but regurgitated the pills when he called 911. 5. A Safer Space The couple separated following her arrest, and Glennon has been keeping his distance from Portwood. He currently has custody of the former couple’s 1-year-old son, James. 6. Playing Mind Games? Now, he’s being accused of tormenting Amber by flaunting his relationship with James on social media. View Slideshow
Jill Duggar is speaking out about something that was most likely an unpopular topic in the conservative Duggar household growing up. But, the Counting On star is encouraging women to leave their husbands… if he is abusive. While it seems like a pretty obvious solution, leaving an abusive relationship can be extremely hard. But Jill is here to let you know that it can be done. The 28-year-old recently revealed that her friend just got out of a life-threatening relationship with her spouse, and now she is advocating for all domestic violence victims . Jill was quick to act and immediately posted about the situation on her Instagram stories, sharing statistics and resources for all out there who need help. The series of photos read: “A friend of mine recently shared on social media her story as a victim of abuse,” she wrote. “Thankfuly, she is out of the harmful relationship alive.” “Did you know? 1 in 3 women and 1 in 4 men have experienced some form of physical violence by an intimate partner,” she added, and in some cases, they are not considered “domestic violence.” Jill then posted a screengrab from the Instagram account “Understanding the Narc” which offered a checklist to help people identify certain qualities in their partner, guiding them to whether or not he/she is a sociopath. While this may be reminding you of popular Hollywood thrillers, such as “Gone Girl”, this is real. This happens. And it is heartbreaking. Jill, fortunately, took this chance to directly address her followers, telling them, “Don’t turn a blind eye!” and “Support those who need help around you.” She continued to post statistics from the NCADV and phone numbers for victims to call, she even shared an article called, “Why Do Victims Stay?” In the article, the organization explains why many victims stay, one of the more popular reasons being that women from patriarchial faiths and families often stay due to outdated gender roles and not believing in divorce. Jill’s call to action may seem out of place, as her family members are firm nonbelievers of divorce and definitely have outdated ideas on gender roles . They also don’t believe in mental illnesses or personality disorders… instead of turning to therapy or medication, the Duggar clan relies on prayer and home remedies. But the fact that Jill is willing to recommend divorce and safety to women of violence is very telling. Perhaps, this Duggar is finally seeing the light of day ? To drive her point home and prove that she’s not that radical , Jill ended her photo chain with a Bible verse from Proverbs 24:11 which read: “Rescue those who are being taken away to death, hold back those who are stumbling to the slaughter.” National Domestic Violence Hotline can help victims, survivors of domestic violence.

According to a brand new report, congratulations may be in order for Jennifer Garner and Bradley Cooper. Because they’ve landed exciting new movie roles that may even spark some Academy Award speculation for both the actress and the actor? Nope: because they are allegedly expecting a baby… … with each other! This wild rumor may truly be nothing more than a wild rumor, but it still has grabbed our attention due to the mere possibility of Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Garner procreating. According to a website called Celebrity Hush, the superstars are “spending time together.” This site quotes the International Business Times, which writes: “Earlier this month, Garner was spotted stopping by at Cooper’s house in Los Angeles… the visit was a “secret date” [and] there [is] a “blossoming romance between the two.” An anonymous insider went on to tell this less-than-reliable outlet that “it would not be surprising if Garner and Cooper were finally taking their friendship to the next level.” As for the part about Garner being pregnant with Cooper’s baby? That’s simply mentioned in this so-called report. Not exactly a iron-clad evidence here that Jennifer and Bradley are any kind of item, let alone that they engaged in unprotected sex that will lead to the birth of a little boy or girl within the next nine months. But here’s the thing: Garner and Cooper starred together on the ABC drama Alias and remain friendly to this day. Cooper had been linked to fellow A Star is Born lead Lady Gaga , but she’s now dating some dude named Dan Horton . Garner, meanwhile, is officially divorced from Ben Affleck and rumored to be in a relationship with some civilian named John Miller . She also has three kids (Violet, Samuel, and Seraphina) and is 47 years old and it just feels like a stretch to think she would want to be a mother again at this point in her life. Do we know for a fact that she’s done having babies? No, of course not. Garner does seem to positively adore motherhood, having stepped largely away from Hollywood for many years to raise these children. She and Cooper also may not have planned on getting pregnant, but even celebrities can make mistakes, you know? Not that we’re claiming here that a baby in and of itself is ever a “mistake,” just that not all pregnancies are planned, that’s all. Anyway, the general point and the main takeaway is that we highly doubt Cooper and Garner are dating or having a child together and you should not believe everything you read on the Internet.
Last week, fans of Alaskan Bush People were introduced to Bear Brown’s new girlfriend , Raiven. It wasn’t long before people did some digging into her past and learned about her ex-girlfriend. Raiven addressed her sexuality on social media. But a new report says that Bear’s family is having a hard time accepting her. Here’s what our own research revealed: “It’s been brought to my attention,” Raiven announced days ago on Instagram. “The social media stalkers of my new found life.” Just weeks ago, she was a model but not a public figure. Now she’s publicly dating a star of a very successful reality series. Raiven wrote that these stalkers “have found my ex who was a female,” “I have fought for my peace of mind in my sexuality, and in my life,” Raiven affirmed. “I’m proud of myself for loving myself, in every aspect of life.” “Come for me about my overalls, Come for me about my teeth, my height whatever you want,” she added. “But I ask you please let my sexuality be.” “Let my ex be don’t stir a pot that doesn’t belong to you,” Raiven suggested. “Let her be she doesn’t deserve the drama.” Many suspect that Raiven’s ex-girlfriend is the one who has been shopping news of her existence to the tabloids. “We split due to being together at a young age,” Raiven explained. “And not being ready for a relationship.” “Not being right for one another, we haven’t been together for almost 3 years,” she shared. That’s two-and-a-half years before she and Bear began dating. “I am with Bear!” Raiven happily affirmed. “I am happy and he is what I want every day of my life.” “My past is my past judge me for whatever you want,” Raiven wrote. “But don’t do it like this.” She then cited Bella Thorne coming out as pansexual by quoting the young actress’ words. “In the words of @bellathorne,” Raiven wrote. “‘Somebody explained to me really thoroughly what that is. You like beings. You like what you like.'” “‘Doesn’t have to be a girl or a guy or a he or she or they or this or that,'” the quote continued. “‘It’s literally you like personality. You just like a being.'” Raiven’s heartfelt post concluded with the hashtags:”#loveislove#equality#standtall#pansexualandproud” RadarOnline reports that Raiven’s relationship history is giving pause to Bear’s family. An insider claims that Bear’s parents in particular felt “blindsided” by the news of her ex-girlfriend. The source added that the family currently “slightly suspicious of Raiven” on the grounds that she had not been more forthright with them. The insider reported that the Browns “are honestly a bit bothered right now.” “They are both very religious,” the source noted. “And the fact that she did not tell Bear she was gay at one point in her life really irritated them.” We hope that we do not have to explain that ” gay at one point ” is not what pansexuality is or even close to how sexuality works. The claim that Bear’s family resents Raiven over her sexuality doesn’t sound quite right to us. First of all, when Raiven posted on Instagram, it was immediately “liked” by an avalanche of people — including Rain Brown. Rain is a good person and has been vocally supportive of the LGBTQ+ community (while quietly side-stepping gay rumors) for years. So it’s no surprise that she was supportive of Raiven’s beautiful message. No matter their personal religious beliefs, we can’t imagine the Browns condemning a young woman for not coming out when they first met. And now we know that the reports of tensions and unease are just a load of malarkey. We checked with what Bear had to say, and on Friday afternoon, Bear took to Instagram to make an announcement. “Hey everyone!” Bear writes. “I just wanted to clarify to my fans and to all the fans of our show!” “That Raiven has been completely honest with me and my family the whole time I’ve known her!” he emphasized. “She started out as my best friend!” Bear shares. “And our relationship grew from there!” “My Mom Dad and whole family think the world of her,” Bear reveals. “She is quickly becoming a part of the Wolfpack!” “Raiven is the most beautiful woman I’ve ever met!” he praises. “Both on the inside and the outside! She has a heart of gold!” “Also the way my parents taught me and the most important rule of Alaska,” Bear notes. “Is to never judge anyone or tell anyone else how they should live!” “Raiven holds my heart in her hands!” Bear concludes. There you have it — no weird bigoted tensions in the family over Raiven’s pansexuality. Some folks are just having fun with rumors.

But, Trouble also may have claim to the wildest pool party of 2019. Cucumbers, twerkers, and a #SheAWinner Challenge. Hell, even Boosie had to make a face like, “Damn, this is wild!” So, as fate would have it, Trouble pulls up and we chop it up and he breaks down all of it and how wild the party got, why social media backlash isn’t going to affect him or slow up his movement, why he gave BeatKing his props with the cucumber movement and why he wants NONE of his younger family members jumping out there on social media dealing with cucumbers.

Source: Stephen J. Cohen / Getty When I interviewed Cynthia Bailey at the Radio One Raleigh Women’s Empowerment event in April, I asked her about her boyfriend Mike Hill and she blushed a little before gushing how they were just with each other the day before in LA. Her face lit up, this was undoubtedly a woman in love. A Real Housewives of Atlanta fan from Season One, I knew that Bailey was not the type to rush into marriage (or even really desire it); nevertheless, Mike Hill was undoubtedly about to change her mind. On stage I asked if she would ever marry Hill and she blushed and replied yes to the entire crowd oohing and ahhing.

Mike Hill proposed to the 52-year-old at the launch and she said yes. The model looked absolutely gorgeous on her romantic day, wearing a shirt dress by Sai Sankoh . We caught up with the West African designer who gave us all the exclusive details on the look. View this post on Instagram wow! so many beautiful, exciting & positive things happened this week! i didn't want to forget to thank everyone for coming out to support my official @thebaileywinecellar launch. it was amazing & i appreciate you all. follow @thebaileywinecellar for all your desires! p.s on a roll with this ol’ decor: @courtneyajinca A post shared by Cynthia Bailey (@cynthiabailey10) on Jul 28, 2019 at 8:36pm PDT Sankoh gushed, “Cynthia is easily one of my favorite housewives, she always seems so sweet, plus she is beautiful and tall and I just had a feeling my pieces would work well for her. It’s such a fun piece and I loved the sleeves, my dresses are petty long and flowy and it takes a confident woman to pull it off. She looked incredible.” Naturally, I went on the website to try and score this dress, only to discover it’s sold out and no longer on site. Beauties, never fear, Sankoh shared that it will be re-stocked in September. Source: http://www.saisankoh.com / Courtesy of Sai Sankoh From parousing the website, you see beautiful African-inspired pieces and Sankoh revealed, “All my prints are custom made and most of my pieces are made in India.” When you go on the website, each piece has a description of the type of woman that’s waring it. The above is called the Maldives Goddess Kaftan ($295.00, saisankoh.com ) and describes the woman buying the piece as “a traveler who spends six months out of the year visiting foreign destinations.” Sankoh stated, “I wanted to relate to every woman: the boss lady, the full time mother that needs a vacation, the single lady that wants to have a memorable night out in Miami. When my customers read the stories they always send me feedback, like, ‘Hey, I’m a doctor and I have been so busy and I needed this vacation, and this is totally about me.” It’s the beautiful detailing in the pieces and touches like this that make this brand special. Inclusivity within the brand doesn’t just stop at what type of woman you are; Sankoh makes sure that women of all sizes can shop as well, going up to a 3XL in certain styles. Sankoh explained, “I am naturally a curvy woman, meaning I have a butt, and I love to accentuate it. All that is required to wear my pieces is confidence, and I saw a big demand for curvy women wanting glamorous travel wear, and I needed to fulfill that.” The kaftans are truly one size fit all and look great on an array of body shapes and sizes. I’m so here for glamour resort wear and diverting from the typical looks that everyone else is shopping. Custom prints mean that you will have unique looks. While Cynthia’s dress is currently sold out, here are five of my favorite pieces from the site to shop. Let me know which ones are your favorite!
