WSBTV reports that two men lost their lives this holiday weekend at Lake Lanier. A 30-year-old man, Reginald Whitehad, was on a jet ski and trying to pull it onto a boat ramp at Shoal Creek Park when the watercraft flipped over around 8 p.m. Search crews recovered Whitehad’s body around 10:45 p.m. Authorities told WSBTV that the victim was from Perry, Ga. and did not know how to swim. He was also not wearing a life jacket at the time of the accident. AHEAD IN OUR NEXT HOUR: 30 year old Reginald Whitehad drowned on Lake Lainer after his jet ski flipped over Saturday night.

Source: Jason LaVeris / Getty Lamar Odom Recalls Moment He Threatened To Kill Khloe Kardashian Maybe it felt like we all had a front row seat to KhloMar’s drama back when they were married, but rest assured there was a lot more going on behind the scenes than anyone could have guessed. In his new memoir Darkness to Light , Lamar Odom admits that he once threatened to kill ex-wife Khloe Kardashian . He was reportedly high on cocaine and ecstasy and upset that Khloe had called his friends for help when he began to hallucinate. From Us Weekly : “Khloé came down and knocked on the door. I opened it suddenly and grabbed her forcefully by the shoulders, which frightened her,” he writes. “‘What the f–k are you doing?’ I screamed, out of my mind. ‘You trying to embarrass me in front of my friends? I’ll f–king kill you! You don’t know what I’m capable of!’” Frustrated, the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star ran upstairs and slammed the door. Later on, the basketball player asked his wife for forgiveness. “I was embarrassed and ashamed,” he recalls. “It was a new low for our relationship and my life … the most regrettable moment in a series of regrettable moments.” Elsewhere, Lamar reportedly spoke about the time Khloe put their divorce on hold to stand by his side after he overdosed at a Nevada brothel . According to Lam Lam, Khloe wasn’t so nice to his family when they attempted to visit him in the hospital. From HotNewHipHop : “I had cousins and childhood friends waiting for hours who got bumped out of line by my famous sisters-in-law,” he wrote. “Obviously, I had no idea what was going on. This was Khloe’s call, and she had never even met most of my family.” Odom also noted one incident that occurred with Kris when his Aunt JaNean was finally given access to visit him with his children, Lamar Jr. and Destiny. “When JaNean left my room, she went to the waiting area on the other side of the glass partition and took an open seat: the very seat Kris Jenner had been sitting in for hours,” he wrote. “When Kris got back from the restroom, she approached JaNean. ‘That’s my seat,’ said Kris.” Then Khloe stepped in to kick JaNean out of the waiting room. “Y’all not his family!” Lamar said his aunt shouted at the women. Unlike the others who would just fold out of intimidation, Aunt JaNean apparently wasn’t having it. “The ‘f**k yous’ and ‘b****es’ were flying in every direction,” he said of his aunt’s rant. Watch Lamar talk about being a “professional” at hiding his drug addiction in the ABC Exclusive clip below. . @ABC NEWS EXCLUSIVE: @RealLamarOdom talks to @JujuChangABC about his struggle with addiction, “I was professional at hiding it, Khloe didn’t know for a long time.” https://t.co/BizGWeovoe pic.twitter.com/dge7Rm7fkV — Good Morning America (@GMA) May 28, 2019
Like most people, we’ve thrown shade at Iggy Azalea a time or two in the past. But what has happened to her is shocking. Iggy is the latest celebrity victim of nude photo leaks, and these weren’t stolen from her phone — they’re outtakes from a professional photoshoot. In a lengthy message, Iggy has promised legal action against the creep who leaked the photos that should have been deleted years ago. “Recently some outtakes from my 2016 GQ magazine cover were leaked to the public,” Iggy’s heartfelt social media post begins. A couple of photos surfaced from a clearly professional shoot, showing Iggy in underwear and translucent boxers … with her breasts exposed. Iggy notes that “a lot of high profile women have shot covers for GQ with a strategically placed hand ect Covering their breasts etc.” “I always felt they were very beautiful covers,” she explains. “So I jumped at the opportunity.” “I hadn’t seen other women’s covers leak,” Iggy adds. “So I felt comfortable (on a closed set) to model for such a reputable magazine.” Iggy emphasizes that she only did so “knowing only the images with my hands covering would be considered for print.” “I never consented to taking topless pictures for potential release, period,” she affirms. “It was my understanding BEFORE shooting,” Iggy adds. “GQ do not print topless pictures.” “There was no reason for anyone to have kept the outtakes from the shoot,” she expresses. Iggy shares: “I’m surprised and angry that they were not immediately deleted after the final images were selected.” “I feel blindsided, embarrassed, violated, angry, sad, and a million other things,” Iggy’s post continues. “Not solely because I didn’t consent to this,” she notes. “But also because of the vile way people have reacted.” “A lot of the comments I see from men in particular taking things even further,” Iggy laments. “And,” Iggy has seen these men “sharing their thoughts and fantasies in regards to my body had honestly disturbed me.” “The outright wicked things people say is overwhelming & makes me feel like throwing up,” she expresses. “If you’ve ever been humiliated before in front of family and those you care about,” Iggy suggests. “Maybe you can relate to what I’m going through.” “It’s like a nuclear bomb that explodes and not only destroys you emotionally, but leaves a path of destruction in your personal life,” she explains. “I fully intend on finding out where the leak originated,” Iggy writes. “And pressing criminal charges in regard to this.” Some might disagree with her seeking to exact revenge, but she lays out exactly why she’s taking this route. “It’s important to me that someone actually be held accountable for their actions,” she explains. “And the way it impacts my life.” “I have seen some really vicious s–t written in the last 24 hours,” Iggy reveals. “And,” she continues. “It is too much for me to handle.” “For now,” she explains. “It’s best to keep my accounts deactivated.” Both her Twitter and Instagram are deactivated at the moment, beginning a short time after she shared her message — knowing that it would be preserved. Iggy concludes by imploring her fans and followers to “please be kinder to one another.” Please understand that just because Iggy’s photos were part of an official photoshoot does not make this okay. Photos taken in private — such as behind-the-scenes looks or outtakes like these — should only be shared with consent. Similarly, the fact that Iggy is drop-dead gorgeous with a figure to match doesn’t mean that she should be “flattered” at this hateful leak. It’s a violation. Shame on the person who kept the photos, shame on the person who leaked the photos. And quite frankly, shame on the people who decided to sexually harass Iggy in her social media mentions.
Jenelle Evans has gone through a number of changes during her time in the Teen Mom 2 spotlight. But several tendencies have remained sadly constant. Chief among them is Evans' shaky relationship with the truth. Yes, if you know Jenelle, you know she loves to lie. Or maybe she just can't stop herself from lying. Hell, maybe she's one of those deeply delusional types, and she doesn't even realize she's spewing BS. Whatever the case, dishonesty is second nature to the mother of three, and she was at the top of her game while squaring off with Nessa during this week's Teen Mom 2 reunion. Take a look: 1. Ready For Battle On last week’s reunion, Jenelle stormed off set after host Nessa Diab confronted her about comments Jenelle posted on social media regarding Nessa’s boyfriend, Colin Kaepernick. 2. The Doctor Is In On Monday’s episode, however, Dr. Drew intervened and convinced Evans to re-take the stage. 3. So … Timing Was the Issue? “She couldn’t wait ’til the end? ‘Til we were done?” Jenelle cried backstage. “I’ve been having so many medical issues this whole trip, and the first thing I go out on stage, I get attacked 4. Back At It Yes, Evans offered up some absurd excuses for her behavior, but eventually, she returned to the stage on the condition that her mother, Barbara Evans, be permitted to join her. 5. Confronted By Nessa Nessa stuck to her guns and asked Jenelle again about her comments regarding Kaepernick — and Jenelle responded in cowardly fashion, as usual. 6. A for Effort Evans insisted that she never made any such comments and that the anti-Kaepernick statements mysteriously appeared on her accounts. You almost have to admire the shamelessness. Almost.

Seeing her overall health in danger, June Shannon's family staged an intervention on From Not to Hot . During the very special episode, Pumpkin Shannon shared some jarring details about her mother, including how the arrest went down. In addition to details about the crack cocaine arrest, Pumpkin shared the worrisome news that Mama June's bank account is being drained. WeTV aired a From Not to Hot special episode, titled “Road to Intervention.” Back in March, June was arrested alongside troubled boyfriend Geno Doak for possession of crack cocaine. Notably, Geno was also arrested under the accusation of domestic violence towards June, which has made fans very worried for her. Now there is a new cause for concern that many have not considered. During the special, Pumpkin told June that she had been monitoring her bank account, and that June's funds had been deteriorating. The special also included new details about June's arrest. According to Pumpkin, June and Geno “always” argue while they're driving. (Contrary to popular opinion, it's healthy for couples to rarely argue and to never get into fights; if you “always” fight, you should break up) This time, she says, it was particularly bad, and grew worse as they pulled over at a gas station. Though fans had assumed that a witness had dialed 9-1-1, Pumpkin reveals that it was June herself who called the police. So, while Geno was purchasing an energy drink, June apparently called the police not once, but twice — hanging up both times. It turned out that a nearby vehicle just happened to be an unmarked police SUV. The officer within that car is the one who first approached June and Deno. Moriah, a producer for From Not to Hot , points out that June must have been feeling afraid if she dialed emergency services twice. “Something,” Pumpkin says. “Whatever happened caused her to call the cops.” “And she knows what's going on isn't right,” observes June's sister, Joanne “Doe Doe” Shannon. “She just never knows how to get out of it,” she expresses. We then see a flashback to footage of June confessing that there are stories about Geno bringing women to June's house for sex. (Notably, he's accused of paying thousands of dollars for these hookups) Even as June is worried about this, she refers to Geno as being “like her soulmate.” It's clear that the various people in June's life who are not Geno Doak are concerned for her. They fear for her deteriorating health. Producer Moriah even recalls having checked June's hand when she began to lose all sensation in it. They have real concerns about her physical safety around Geno, despite claims that he never physically laid a hand on her during their fight. And quite frankly, they are worried about her finances these days. Whether what's happening is just June spending recklessly or a certain someone dipping into her funds to pay for himself, that's alarming. June is a wealthy woman thanks to her reality career, but reality stars have made many times more than she has and then lost it all in a short time. We hope that June takes a turn for the better in all aspects of her life.

Source: Marcus Ingram / Getty Tonight’s episode of Love and Hip-Hop Atlanta picks up with Scrapp, Bambi, Joc, Kendra, Shekinah, Tokyo Vanity, Kirk, and Rasheeda are headed to Trinidad, but what they don’t know is that Mimi invited Pooh. Those two will show up later, and we all know that’s going to be lots of fun when they arrive. Anyway, Karlie Redd is in charge of hosting the group since her family is from Trinidad. Spice is the reason they’re there, but Spice will be performing in The Gambia for the first leg of their shenanigans so she’ll join the fun later. Back in the states, we find Akbar V recording. Che Mack shows up to her session to inform her that Made Man got shot. Someone tried to rob him and now he’s in the hospital in intensive care. Che puts Akbar on the spot and asks if she can watch her daughter while she runs to check on him in the hospital. Che Mack explains that she’s conflicted about how to behave with him because she just moved out of the house they shared and she’s still mad at him but he’s also in a near death situation yatta yatta. Obviously, she should just go to the hospital and hope he doesn’t die. In Trinidad, Karlie makes reservations for the group at a restaurant that serves local cuisine so they can taste Trinidadian food. There’s already tension between Karlie and Shekinah, and it doesn’t help the situation when Shekinah (and also Tokyo Vanity) is knit picking the food. Karli gets annoyed and snaps at Shekinah. Then they get into it. Karlie starts yelling at Shekinah to give Trinidad a chance. Shekinah reminds Karlie that she’s actually not from Trinidad. Then Tokyo jumps in and says she needed a passport to get there just like the rest of them. Karlie says she just wants them to have a good time. Then Shekinah says she don’t eff with Pooh but she gets what she’s saying about Karlie. Karlie gets triggered hearing Pooh’s name and plays the recording of her phone conversation with Hiriam allegedly saying nothing happened between them, but the context of what Karlie played is shady so we don’t really know if that’s exactly what he’s talking about in that moment. You know how tricksie Karlie is. Plus, we already saw the convo between Pooh and Hiriam where she told him that Karlie had recorded their conversation and he said that he was lying to Karlie and saying whatever she wanted just because it’s not his style to put his dalliances out there like that. So it’s a matter of he said she said. Someone is lying. In Atlanta, Scrapp and Sierra are painting an anti-gun violence mural. They’re talking about all the gun violence they’ve experienced. Then Akbar pulls up and tells them about Che Mack’s babydaddy. Scrapp knows Che Mack, hasn’t seen her in a while but plans to check on her. Then We get back to the bs. Akbar V asks Scrapp about what was up with Moniece. He tries to downplay his relationship with her, like he does to pretty much all the women we’ve seen him with on this show. Then Sierra pulls Akbar V aside and asks her to stop beefing with all her friends. Akbar V agrees to behave herself…once again. Later on we find out that Made Man is stable and will survive. Then we cut to Scrapp walking with Che Mack. This is him checking up on her. They haven’t seen each other in a while but the story goes that they used to be close. According to Scrapp, she used to be his wingwoman. Then they start gossiping. Scrapp reveals that he feels some type of way about Stevie J because he wasn’t there for him when he was locked up. This is the perfect opportunity for Che Mack to bring up the fact that she heard that Stevie also creeping with Tommie while Scrapp was locked up. Scrapp heard that same rumor and plans to see his Uncle Stevie to discuss. We all know that means that Stevie will probably be making an appearance soon. We also know that that discussion is not going to go well. Now we’re back in Trinidad at the point where Mimi shows up with Pooh. Mimi tries to get Pooh and Karlie Redd to put their differences aside. Karlie says she needs Pooh to admit that she lied about everything she said they did. Pooh, however, goes into graphic detail and even simulates some of what allegedly happened. This obviously goes straight to hell, like we knew it would. First, it’s Karlie vs. Pooh but security shuts that down. Then Tokyo Vanity tries to get in on the fun and again security shuts that down. Mimi acts shocked that things went left with Pooh and then we get to next week when Pooh plays a recording she has of her husband saying that he lied during his convo with Karlie because he just didn’t want to put her out there. Anyway, we’ll be back at this next week. Because…drama. RELATED POSTS ‘LHHATLS8’ Recap: Spice Wants The Crew To Join Her In Trinidad ‘LHHATLS8’ Recap: Rasheeda And Kirk’s Party In The Woods Is Over
