The women of Sister Wives have lived a very public life alongside their husband Kody. Now that the wives have all gone their separate ways we have the unique opportunity to see behind the camera. Kody and Robyn recently put their home up for sale, marking the end of a major chapter. Putting their house on the market gives us a look inside the areas that TV cameras rarely capture.
An Inside Look
Listing photos of Kody and Robyn’s house give a unique perspective of the sprawling estate. It is nearly 4,500 sqft and includes five bedrooms and four bathrooms. Additionally, the home has plenty of amenities like walk-in closets, a giant pantry, and an unforgettable view.
Another thing that is unforgettable is the home’s price tag. It is listed at $1.65 million and has been on the market since the end of August. Considering it is still available and not even under contract could indicate it is overpriced.
Taking a closer look at the home itself, the small foyer opens up into the open kitchen, living, and dining room. There is also a walk-in pantry just off the kitchen.
Taking a left from the foyer is a hallway leading to the master’s suite and bedroom. The staircase to the lower level is also located next to the hallway. Each bedroom has an attached bathroom and the master suite has four closets.
Moving downstairs, a hallway connects to the garage on the left and a bedroom. Proceeding to the right down the hallway are two bedrooms that share a Jack and Jill bathroom. At the end is a family room with panoramic views.
The Finer Details
The most impressive part of the house has to be the view, but more on that later. As for features, the home’s kitchen is beautiful with granite countertops and a solid wood raised bartop. The kitchen also includes commercial-grade appliances, which do stay with the house.
The pantry also has a nice countertop and cabinetry that matches the kitchen. One of the strange things about the house is its lack of a formal dining space.
The living area is also a little wonky thanks to an oddly designed entertainment center that was clearly designed before big-screen TVs.
The master suite certainly makes up for some of those shortcomings with its ample closet space and access to the back deck with a view of the mountains. The front yard is also uninspiring as the home looks rather modest. Fortunately, the views make up for the lackluster landscaping.
Listing the home for sale raises a lot of questions about the status of Kody and Robyn’s relationship. The two were still together when last seen on Sister Wives. However, the new season appears to have some bombshell revelations.
Robyn has lived in the home since 2019 with her five children, and Kody lives there as well. The fact that the home is for sale may indicate that the two are also splitting up, or it could signal possible financial problems.
Brandy has always been involved in controversies. Whether it was her ongoing feud with fellow R&B queen, Monica, or the shocking tragedy of when she crashed into a woman on the 405 Freeway in 2006, Brandy just seems to have a way of making front-page news, especially with her love life.
She reportedly went out with stars like Usher, Tyrese Gibson, Nick Cannon, and Flo Rida. One of the wildest and most melodramatic romances she had was with her ex, producer Robert Smith. Their relationship was filled with twists and turns along the way that kept the public guessing what would happen next.
Brandy Shared Her Marriage Announcement on Oprah
A report by The People Who Share revealed that in 2001, Brandy began dating Robert, or Big Bert as he was sometimes called back then. The following year she appeared on an episode of the Oprah Winfrey Show with her mom.
They talked about the intense speculation going on at the time that she could be pregnant. When Oprah brought up the rumor, Brandy confirmed that she was actually expecting.
Then, she revealed something else that took everyone by surprise. She said that she and Robert had secretly gotten married that summer. This would’ve meant that they had tied the knot only 6 months after meeting each other.
When the talk show host tried pressing her for more information about the wedding, she kept tight-lipped and said that they wanted to keep the details of their special day to themselves. Although she wasn’t willing to share much about her wedding, she didn’t feel the same way about her pregnancy.
Brandy actually starred in an MTV four-part miniseries about it. A camera crew followed her around for the last couple months of her pregnancy. They included moments shared between her and her family, as well as with her then-husband.
Robert Set the Record Straight
According to The People Who Share, Brandy announced that she had gotten a divorce from Robert in 2003. She claimed that it wasn’t a difficult time for her though because she’d fallen out of love with him.
If it were up to Brandy, maybe the public would still believe the story of their marriage today. Unfortunately, Robert did not let that happen.
People Magazine reported that in 2004, the music producer went on Wendy Williams’ radio show, Moment of Truth, to spill the beans about what really happened with him and Brandy. In the interview, he dropped some truth bombs that would forever change his ex’s reputation.
He claimed that the pair never actually got married. It was something that Brandy’s mom and manager, Sonja Norwood, had fabricated with her PR team to protect the star’s image.
Brandy was known for being wholesome and Christian, so the idea that she’d gotten pregnant out of wedlock was something that her team reportedly thought could damage her career. But, that wasn’t the only mind-blowing secret that Robert shared with Wendy when he went on her show.
He also alleged that around the time that he’d gotten Brandy pregnant, he also began dating another woman, a film producer, per Entertainment Weekly. On top of that, he said that he’d recently reunited with that woman and they were expecting a baby together. Eventually, he ended up marrying her and having three more children with her.
Brandy Insisted That the Two Had a “Spiritual Union”
How did Brandy react to the bombshell that her ex shared with the world? The funny thing is that she didn’t deny what he said.
At the same time, she made it clear that she wasn’t happy that he’d gone and told everyone. Robert went on Wendy’s show just a month after the R&B singer had released her 4th album, Afrodisiac.
EW revealed that Brandy released a statement in which she talked about how appalled she was with her ex. She alleged that he was trying to destroy her reputation while using both her and their daughter to get publicity and radio airplay for his artists. Brandy said, “I am stunned that he is being so dirty about it.”
She went on to claim that although it might not have been a legal marriage, they had a spiritual union and a true commitment to each other.
Then, Brandy pointed out that they still shared a common bond through their daughter, Sy’rai Smith. She argued that he was not thinking about her, or about Brandy, or what they had together.
Robert chose to address some of the things his baby mama had said by releasing his own statement. He stated that he wasn’t trying to get out of his responsibilities for taking care of his daughter. He and Brandy had joint custody of her.
Robert explained that when breaking off relationships it was always difficult. He preferred not to air their dirty laundry through the media. “I was just stating the TRUTH,” he said.
Robert went on to share that he and Brandy had many things to work out and would hopefully head in a more positive direction.
Brandy Finally Came Clean
Years after this came out, Brandy went back on to the Oprah Winfrey Show and admitted that she had lied the last time she was on the program. She claimed that it was for the same reasons that Robert had mentioned. She was pregnant and unmarried, and she was concerned about how that would affect her public image and career.
Brandy apologized for lying about what really happened.
Our History reported that Brandy also really opened up about the incident in a VH1 Behind The Music special. When she shared how she honestly felt back then as a young 23-year-old pregnant star at the peak of her fame, she sounded vulnerable.
When she first found out that she was expecting, she said she knew it wasn’t good news for her brand. She was raised with a Christian foundation, she knew it was a sin to get pregnant out of wedlock. She was scared and didn’t know what to do.
Brandy claimed that everyone around her was trying to force her to get married, but she didn’t want to. She proposed that she just tell everyone that they’d already gotten married instead.
She confessed that it was the biggest mistake she had ever made and that the lie about being married was the fall of her career. Everything changed.
Of course, having her daughter was not something that she ever regretted, but she admitted that she should’ve come out with the truth from the start, instead of inventing a web of lies. She went on to claim that she just felt so lost at the time, so she ended up agreeing to follow her mum and her management team’s advice.
Sy’Rai Is Close with Both of Her Parents
According to People Magazine, Brandy and her daughter have a great relationship. The singer opened up to the outlet about how much she enjoys being a mom. She said, “My favorite thing about motherhood is seeing myself in my daughter and seeing each other in each other.”
She explained that their personalities were the same. They reportedly share so much of the same likes. Sy’rai loves music, and Brandy said she just loved seeing her grow into her own artist.
Now in her early 20s, Sy’rai is following in her mom’s footsteps and making her own music. She collaborated with Brandy for a song called High Heels, on her 7th studio album, B7, which came out in 2020. In 2023, the young artist released her first official solo single titled On My Own.
People claimed that Sy’Rai also has a strong relationship with her father and that she gets along well with her stepmother and her five half-siblings. She often appears with them in many of the photos posted by Robert and his wife on their social media.
In a 2008 interview with Vibe magazine, Sy’Rai’s dad said that his relationship with Brandy was much better than it was in the past. He said: “You can’t be so mad at somebody who gave you that kind of a gift”
Robert went on to share that at the end of the day, he and his ex had a beautiful child, and he was the happiest man on earth. That was really the logistics of it. There was no drama.
Just how much trouble is rapper Nelly really in? Right now, everything is still very much up in the air as to whether or not he’ll face serious consequences for his most recent arrest. In fact, there’s still some disagreement about what he was actually arrested for.
Here’s everything we know right now.
On August 7, Nelly was arrested just outside St. Louis around 5 am. According to The Shade Room, the rapper was taken into custody and charged with possession of illegal substances. He also faced charges related to having no insurance.
The situation was explained by the police in a statement that mentioned that Nelly was also arrested for Failure to Appear on an old traffic charge. Nelly’s attorney came to his client’s defense soon after the scandal hit headlines.
The lawyer, Scott Rosenblum, spoke to TMZ to dispel rumors that Nelly had been charged with illegal substance possession. He also went on to make some serious claims about the officers who took Nelly to jail. Scott alleged that Nelly had been targeted by an out-of-line officer who was just being overzealous.
To some, it looked like Nelly’s legal team wanted to downplay just how serious the arrest was. However, many still believed that illegal substances were somehow involved.
The Sun reported that Nelly seemed glassy-eyed in his police mug shot. He was also smiling a little bit, which made some people think that he might’ve been under the influence.
Nelly’s Lawyer Doesn’t Expect the Cas to Go Anywhere
With so much mystery and disagreement about what Nelly was really arrested for, the question of whether or not he’ll do jail time looks uncertain right now. His lawyer, however, has stated that he is certain that the case will not proceed to court.
Scott said that he was “100% confident” that this case would “go nowhere.” He added, “And we will be asking for an inquiry into this officer’s conduct.”
The attorney explained that the officer’s pursuit of Nelly for no proof of insurance was way too much. He claimed that any other citizen in Nelly’s situation, who had an old warrant without being served notice, would have been told to resolve the issue and sent on their way.
It was also noted that because Nelly is required to travel internationally for his work, he regularly has to provide proof of no outstanding warrants. According to his lawyer, this even includes FBI checks, and it was stated that Nelly had no warrants. This was why the rapper’s legal team stated they were sure he would not be further punished.
However, if the case does continue against the lawyer’s expectations, Nelly’s shady past might come back to haunt him. We could see him face a bigger punishment than anyone has predicted.
Nelly’s Tour Bus Was Stopped in 2015
In December 2015, Nelly pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of possession and was sentenced to one-year probation. What’s shocking about this conviction is how just much worse things could have been for him back then. This is because the charge he was convicted of was in connection with a really crazy arrest.
In April 2015, he was taken in on felony charges following a police search of his tour bus. The bus was pulled over by the Tennessee Highway Patrol after the cops noticed it was missing 2 required stickers, but what they noticed once they got on the bus was much more of a shock.
The first thing they noticed was a very distinctive smell from the bus. They went on to find illegal substances and equipment, as well as 100 small Ziploc bags.
A law enforcement rep later said that these were commonly associated with the sale of substances. This made the discovery a much more serious matter.
Then, things got even crazier. The police also found numerous firearms on the tour bus. One of which was a gold-plated firearm.
Nelly and one of his associates were charged and taken to County Jail. There were 4 other men on board, but they were not charged.
Nelly Refused to Take the Blame
Soon after the news of the arrest went public, Nelly’s attorney released a statement. He said that they were all very confident that Nelly wouldn’t be associated with the items that were discovered on the bus.
Not long after that, Nelly also released his own statement. In it, he said very similar things to what his lawyer stated.
He claimed that he felt that he needed to take responsibility for his choices. He followed this by saying that he also needed to be more aware of all the people he associated with and allowed onto his property.
It looked pretty clear what the rapper was trying to say. Nelly was pretty much putting all of the blame for the illegal items on the bus on his friends.
This wasn’t exactly the best look for a hip-hop artist at the time. He was later released on a $10,000 bond. His street cred as a rapper suffered afterward.
Monique Greene Further Damaged His Reputation
Unfortunately, some accusations in 2017 made things look a whole lot worse for him. After word spread, hardly anyone thought he could ever come back from this.
A college student named Monique Greene accused Nelly of SA. The incident allegedly took place before a Florida Georgia Line concert, when Monique was 22 years old.
The allegations came as a horrific shock to everyone. However, the story quickly took a surprising turn that meant that a lot of people actually forgot that it had ever happened. The case was dropped after just a week when Monique was accused of failing to cooperate with the investigations.
Monique’s attorney gave a pretty scary explanation about why Monique had not cooperated. Allegedly, it was because she believed that the system was going to fail her. In other words, she didn’t think she would be properly listened to anyway.
Nelly Denied All of Monique’s Accusations
The rapper’s legal team claimed that the real reason that Monique refused to talk was because her claims were untrue, which Nelly later backed up in his official statement. He said that it was time for him to personally speak up against the claims, which he described as disingenuous.
He said that he was focused on fully cooperating on every level of the investigation to allow law enforcement to get to the bottom of the insane accusations, which was why he had chosen to remain silent on the matter up until that point.
But Nelly also had a lot more to say, and some of what he shared seemed to paint the whole story in a different light. He used his statement to attack Monique’s lawyer, and he suggested that she was just out to ruin him.
Nelly claimed that the lawyer was involved in 2 cases against him and had also made damaging remarks about the police. He claimed that the attorney had labeled the police as incompetent and said that they had let Nelly bully them into ignoring the case against him.
Two months after the initial accusations, Monique decided to come for Nelly in another way. She sued him for SA and also for defamation following his comments.
However, other than his one-year probation, Nelly has never been sentenced and has never served time in prison. But if his recent arrest is taken further, who knows whether or not his sketchy past could come back to haunt him.
Recently, Jana Duggar, the oldest daughter of Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar, got married in a beautiful ceremony along with hundreds of family members and friends. However, before the wedding, Jana had largely kept her relationship a secret. Many people believe this was because their relationship went against the strict courtship rules that her parents have in place.
Wedding Bells
Jana Duggar recently married Stephen Wissmann, who is a business owner who works with irrigation systems. Like Jana, he comes from a large family as he is one of thirteen siblings. Jana is one of the eldest children of the Duggar Family, which is famous for being the subjects of the show “19 Kids and Counting”, which ran on TV for 10 seasons.
While the ceremony looked lovely and the pair seemed very much in love, why did she keep her husband and their relationship a secret early on? Well, there’s some online speculation that she kept it a secret because of her parent’s relatively stringent rules surrounding courtship and dating. This includes having chaperones on dates, not holding hands or exhibiting other forms of PDA, and only greeting with side hugs.
In a recent video posted by Jana on her YouTube channel from before the pair were married, they are seen breaking several of these rules, which could be why the duo decided to keep things under wraps for as long as they did. Either way, the pair has finally gone public with their relationship and seem incredibly in love and excited for the future together.
Future Plans
As for what the future holds, the pair has plans to live together in Nebraska, which is where Stephen lives with his family. They’re going to live in a small house that they bought together, which they have been fixing up with one another.
Jana and Stephen first met over a decade ago when Stephen and his family were snowed in at the Duggar residence. The Wissmann family would travel and sing together, and a snowstorm prevented them from leaving the Duggar’s home one night.
The families played games together and did puzzles until the snow melted and the Wissmann family could leave. Being that she’s a little bit older than Stephen, Jana admitted that he wasn’t on her radar at all at the time.
However, years later the pair reconnected and dated briefly, before ultimately breaking up and going their own ways in life. They stayed in touch though, and eventually decided to reconnect and try the relationship again.
It obviously worked out, as the couple married in an elegant ceremony in Arkansas in front of around 500 guests on August 15th 2024, which was two months after they got engaged. The wedding featured interactive games, a huge meal made by the Wissmann family, and several other activities for the guests. Being that both of them come from large households, it was a priority for both of them to ensure that their families were heavily involved in the event.
A prison officer was sued by R. Kelly for leaking emails. That prison officer stood firm on the accusations, and the government also stood behind the prison officer and others involved in the lawsuit.
In Touch shared the details of the initial report, reporting that a prison officer is denying all allegations of wrongdoing brought by R. Kelly. The singer claims that his privacy has been violated due to the alleged leak and selling of his emails and phone logs to a blogger known as Tasha K.
R. Kelly says that he suffered emotional distress. The prison officer shares that R. Kelly should not have expected privacy considering he is in prison. She argued that her conduct was not “outrageous or intentional” and that she didn’t access computers “without or in excess of authorization.”
R. Kelly Claims Information Had Been Stolen
In the suit, R. Kelly’s lawyer claims that the singer’s information had been stolen in an attempt to create chaos in his personal life. He claims that prison employees used the system within the prison to access emails and phone logs.
This information was then sold to blogger Tasha K, who exposed everything on her own social media platforms. Tasha has since denied the allegations of illegal activity.
R. Kelly’s lawyer goes further to say that Tasha rallied her own following to harass the singer. The information was allegedly used to influence witnesses in the criminal prosecution. The lawyer also claims that the information was used for financial gain and clout.
While one retired police officer is speaking out against the accusations, Kelly claims that more than 60 police officers accessed information he believes should have been private. A lawyer for the government says that there was an investigation into the claims. However, they concluded that there was no unauthorized access to the information in the system.
R. Kelly’s Information Was Passed to the Blogger
The initial accusations came up in 2019 when The Chicago Sun-Times ran the story. The main employee accused of the crimes had previously retired, and no charges have ever been brought against said employee.
However, according to RadarOnline, the government does admit that information was provided to the blogger, admitting to some of the claims from Kelly. This information was accessed from the internal prison system but was not gained through negligent practices.
The government continues to stress that R. Kelly should not have expected the same level of privacy as a free man. The prison officers have access to all information shared with the outside world to keep other inmates, themselves, and people outside safe.
R. Kelly’s lawsuit was thrown out in 2023, per the government’s demands. He has since been moved from the Chicago to facility to Butner Federal Prison.
This has not stopped Tasha K from doing what she loves. She continues to share news and updates about celebrities via her YouTube channel Unwine with Tasha K.
Some of her recent videos have included exposing Gypsy Rose Blanchard, Porsha William, and Diddy. She also entertains via skits and shares life and beauty tips, and more.
I Am Jazz star Jazz Jennings has focused on improving her health and her life. Part of that journey has involved losing 100lbs, something that she has documented on social media throughout it.
It’s easy for someone to forget how far along they have come in a weight loss journey. People can look in a mirror and not recognize the changes at all, leading to them giving up. Jazz has made sure to keep track, and she recently shared her before-and-after looks in a video for social media.
The side-by-side look on Instagram allows everyone to see the change. She even noted how long it has taken her to reach her current weight, noting that the before images were taken two years ago. It highlights the healthy transformation, as well as making fans realize that it is possible to achieve something.
Jazz Is Focusing on a Healthy Lifestyle
Jazz isn’t just in this for weight loss. She wants to live a healthier lifestyle, and that means a constant effort. When sharing the video of the before-and-after shots, the 23-year-old explained that she is “more motivated and inspired” now than ever before, and she is pushing herself to keep going. She is proud of the progress that she has made so far.
Her family took to the comments to share their pride, as well. Her sister Ari shared how “inspiring” Jazz is, while her brother Sander said he is proud of his sister and is there with her along this journey. He wants her to keep pushing for her goals.
The weight loss journey was important for her health. After being on some medication, she experienced an increase in appetite.
In June 2021, she shared on Instagram that she had developed a binge-eating disorder and had gained more than 100lbs over the course of two years. She needed to do something about that to feel good again.
A Slow Transformation for Jazz
In January 2024, Jazz shared that she had lost 70lbs since starting her transformation. While she still had a way to go, she was proud of the achievement she had made at that point. She told her followers how much happier and healthier she felt.
Then in June 2024, she updated her followers again. This time she shared that for years she had neglected her health.
The last two years changed her mindset, and she finally cared about her body and her overall health. She now feels more confident with the pounds that she is shedding.
It isn’t just about weight, though. In the video from August 2024, it is clear that her health has improved and she can now run much easier than she could two years ago, showing her fitness levels and cardiovascular health are improving.
A piece of advice that she had for her fans was to follow what makes them “happy and light.” She shared that it’s important to be the best version of yourself, and that’s something she’s striving to do now.
The journey for Jazz is not over. She makes it clear that she still has some weight to lose, and she will continue to update her fans on her progress.
Jason Aldean is a dad to four children, three daughters and a son, Milo. However, it’s Navy fans are concerned about, due to the way her mom Brittany is raising her.
Navy was born in February 2019. At five years old, she already has a social media presence through her mom’s account. Brittany is teaching her daughter how to be a social media influencer.
In one of their recent videos, Navy was getting ready for one of Jason’s concerts. She made it clear that there were signs that it would rain, and she didn’t want to go out in that as it would ruin her outfit. Fans took to the comments to agree with this, especially when it came to the rain ruining her perfect hair.
Brittany Aldean Has Control of the Videos
Everything is done on Brittany’s own TikTok, Facebook, and Instagram channels. This helps her control her daughter’s content and watch out for any comments. However, some fans are still worried.
Does Navy have a choice in doing these types of videos? What is Brittany’s end goal as she makes money off her daughter? Is it fair for the child to be trained in social media influencing this young?
Jason also recently learned that his daughter has a boyfriend called Conway. He came over for a playdate, and despite Navy only being five, she says the relationship has been going on for “15 years.”
Jason made it clear that he would give the kid a “knuckle sandwich” if Conway hurt Navy, but she isn’t worried about that. She very confidently told Jason that Conway knows karate.
Navy has been shown on Brittany’s social media from the day that she was born. It quickly became an account for Brittany to show off her growing family, with mixed opinions from people. A lot of fans love knowing every detail of Jason and Brittany’s life, while others have shared concerns that Navy doesn’t have a choice in being put on social media.
Jason Aldean Talks about the Problem with Social Media
In 2019, Jason admitted to Pop Culture that social media and putting his kids out there were “tricky.” He shared that the children were young enough at the time not to know the hateful things that people would say.
He also made it clear that he was careful about the content that was shared. Brittany continues this by making sure everything is on her own account so that she can access it and block who needs to be blocked.
Jason decided that the good of social media outweighed the bad. People just wanted to see his family grow up, and he decided to offer that to them.
Things are different with his older two daughters with ex-wife Jessica. While he’ll post photos of them, he doesn’t tag them so that they can remain as private as they wish on social media. He knows they’re old enough to read things people say, so he doesn’t force that on them.
Does this mean things could change as Navy gets older? That remains to be seen. Maybe it could once she has her own social media profiles.
It would appear as though the fairytale ending that Kody had hoped for with his harem of “sister wives” has died a dramatic death. Now, even his last remaining wife Robyn seems to be on the verge of ending their relationship and making her own exit.
Robyn was the last woman to enter Kody’s life, after his three other wives had united as members of their sprawling family. With the others out of the picture, Robyn has begun to note her discontent with Kody and she too could end up walking out on him.
So, is it all over for Kody’s final marriage?
Robyn Sees Kody Becoming Bitter
Kody and Robyn are definitely going through a bit of a rough patch of late. Now that their relationship is officially the last one standing in what’s left of their once polygamous family, they are dealing with anger and a litany of frustrations that they might not be able to cope with.
According to Monsters and Critics, both Kody and Robyn have been deeply unsatisfied with the state of their lives ever since Kody’s other relationships fell apart and Robyn’s fellow sister wives went their separate ways.
Robyn has begun to turn on Kody and things aren’t looking so good for either of them.
An unidentified source told the Sun the following about Kody’s negative turn in demeanor:
“He’s just really mad at the world right now. He’s not who he used to be at all.”
The Other Sister Wives Left
The couple united in 2014, making Robyn Kody’s 4th wife. His wife Meri legally divorced him so that Robyn could marry him and join the family.
Together with Janelle and Christine, the Browns were already a big tribe before Robyn came along. Unfortunately, she ended being just one wife too many and the entire family fell apart shortly after her arrival, according to Monsters and Critics.
First, Christine took off, then Janelle got out of there too. The drama drove Meri to follow suit as well, leaving Kody and Robyn to work things out on their own, according to Monsters and Critics. But, the results don’t appear to be too promising yet.
Could their marriage be on the verge of fizzling out now that the sister wives have all but disbanded?
Robyn Feels Like She Was Left Behind
When Robyn divorced her ex-husband David, she allegedly sought an environment for herself and her children that wouldn’t contain any of the volatility and high tempers she had experienced with him. According to Monsters and Critics, that anger and volatility she fled from may be resurfaing in her relationship with Kody.
Each of Kody’s ex-wives have expressed zero support for him and they’ve even gone so far as to suggest that they won’t bother keeping in touch at this point. According to Collider, Janelle admited that she didn’t really miss Kody at all and Robyn has alleged that Kody is now sabotaging their relationship.
Collider reported Robyn stating the following about her situation with Kody now that his other wives have flown the coop:
Alana Thompson, better known as Honey Boo Boo has led a pretty rough life. She was thrust into the spotlight at a young age as part of Toddlers in Tiaras before getting her own show. Then her mom went through a major drug addiction, which landed her in jail.
Just as things seemed to be getting better, Alana’s sister and TV show co-star Anna (Chickadee) passed away. Now after only a year away at college Honey Boo Boo is struggling to find a place to live.
Honey Boo Boo Goes to Colorado
On the last season of Mama June: Family Crisis Alana moved to Colorado with Dralin to attend Regis University. The move drew a lot of criticism as Anna’s health was failing. June tried to dissuade Alana from going to college so far away, but she ultimately decided to move to Colorado with her boyfriend Dralin.
When Alana decided to go to school in Colorado she had trouble finding an apartment. Because she was planning to live with her boyfriend she needed to find off-campus housing. That proved difficult as she had no credit and limited financial resources.
Alana eventually managed to secure an apartment for her and Dralin for their first year. However, it looks like they are again looking for somewhere to live.
She put out a video on social explaining that her lease was up and she needed somewhere to live. However, some of the statements she made do not add up. For instance, she explains problems with Dralin’s credit and her lack of credit are making it difficult and his old student loans are the main reason.
A Lack of Understanding
Alana is very young and likely does not fully understand the rental process – or credit for that matter. Government-backed student loans typically do not have a large impact on a borrower’s credit, so there may be more to Dralin’s financial woes than she knows.
Alana also noted that she does not have credit, which is not surprising for someone at that age. However, she had similar problems last year when trying to lease an apartment, so she should have worked on it.
Obviously Alana had a lot going on last year, making it hard to fault her. With that said, she practically begs for someone to help her find an apartment in the video. She is not asking for anything for free, but the fact that she needs a place for her dog and Dralin’s criminal history makes it really difficult.
Those two factors are also the root of Alana’s problems. Without Dralin or the dog, she could live in on-campus housing and use scholarships or student loans to pay for it.
There is also the fact that most of the apartments in a college town are run by large investment companies. These entities typically use third parties to approve tenants. Alana would likely have better luck if she could find an individual to rent from who may overlook her credit.
Although many people feel that Alana got herself into this situation, it is not a unique problem. People across the country are struggling to find affordable places to live. If someone like Alana cannot find a place to live, then what chance does an average person have?
Good news for Wendy Williams fans! At a holistic health store in New Jersey, Wendy Williams was seen for the first time in more than a year just a few weeks ago.
A worker at Bolingo Balance in Newark told Page Six that the former “Wendy Williams Show” star and her son, Kevin Hunter Jr., went to the store in late August of this year. The shop is run by the late Dr. Sebi’s son Victor Bowman.
Wendy was “very bubbly” and “sharp, upbeat, and aware” during the visit, according to Page Six’s sources. She even met with Bowman to talk about the health products they were featuring. The famous 60-year-old gossip and news queen was “engaging but wasn’t as familiar with what we do here, so her son was more explaining things,” the worker told Page Six.
“She talked about circulation improvement but didn’t want to get into too much detail on their first meeting and plans to come back in the near future,” the source continued.
The worker told Page Six that Bowman gave Wendy a number of health-related items and supplements as a gift, including supplements containing iron-rich plants like sarsaparilla, contribo, and bottano oil.
Bowman even shared a photo of himself and Wendy on his Facebook page.
What Happened To Wendy Williams?
While it’s lovely to see the gossip show star out and about after her diagnosis, the reality of her health is still a painful thing to think about for fans of Wendy.
Back in February of 2024, Wendy’s team released an announcement that she had been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia and aphasia. Since the announcement, Wendy has retreated from the public eye for the most part. Wendy was diagnosed in 2023 after a number of medical tests before the announcement earlier this year.
Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is a type of dementia in which the neurons of the brain have been damaged, particularly to the frontal as well as the temporal lobes of the brain. There are a number of symptoms that can arise from the disease, including strange behaviors, problems with emotional regulation, communication difficulties, an inability to perform one’s job duties, and even motor skill issues that can make walking difficult.
Aphasia is often a symptom of FTD. Aphasia is a type of language disorder in which one’s ability to “understand and express language” becomes very difficult. Many people suffering from aphasia lose their ability to read and write. It is caused by brain damage, specifically to the left side of the brain when language is processed.
Wendy isn’t the only celeb to suffer from FTD. Actor Bruce Willis was also diagnosed with it back in early 2023. FTD typically affects people over the age of 45 years old.
It’s very unfortunate, considering the degenerative nature of the disease and its surprising rarity. There is no cure for FTD, and scientists and doctors alike still do not know what causes the illness. Around 25% of patients with FTD likely have genetic mutations, and it’s unclear whether or not the disease is preventable.
We wish Wendy nothing but the best as she recovers and hope we’ll see her out and about enjoying life even more.
