Snooki and Husband Jionni Living Apart

The real-life relationship drama never seems to end for the stars of Jersey Shore, but this newest scandal is seriously twisted.

A recent report in The U.S. Sun claims that Nicole ‘Snooki’ Polizzi and her husband, Jionni LaValle, are living apart. When you hear the real truth about Snooki’s marital problems, you’ll know why this story is even crazier than it sounds.

Snooki and Jionni’s Marriage Is ‘In Trouble After [The] Ashley Madison Doc’ 

The headline in the Sun’s exclusive report claims Snooki and Jionni are “never together” and their marriage is “in trouble after [the] Ashley Madison doc.” 

If you’re wondering who Ashley is, it’s not a person. Ashley Madison is an infamous website that helps “subscribers” arrange “extra-marital affairs.” What does this have to do with Snooki and Jionni’s decade-long marriage?

That’s where this scandal gets twisted, and it goes all the way back to 2015.

Nine years ago, the Ashley Madison website suffered a hack, and the fallout received international headlines. Many unfaithful “subscribers” got caught in the hack, and one alleged subscriber was connected to Snooki. 

Snooki and Jionni Allegedly ‘Have Regular Explosive Fights’

If you didn’t already know or guess, the alleged Ashley Madison subscriber was Jionni, and the Sun claimed that his email was found “among the alleged subscribers” who’d signed up to cheat on their spouses.

More recently, the Sun alleged that “multiple sources” have revealed that 36-year-old Snooki and 37-year-old Jionni are “rarely under the same roof these days.” When they do have to be in the same place, Snooki and Jionni allegedly “sleep in separate rooms.”

If these sources are telling the truth, Snooki and Jionni can’t even talk these days without yelling. The sources alleged that Snooki and her husband “have regular explosive fights” when they go face-to-face.

Another shocking claim made by the sources is that MTV cameras have “captured” Snooki’s “fallout” after her fights with Jionni. However, the drama never seems “to make the cut” on the current spinoff of Jersey Shore.

If MTV doesn’t want the world to know about Snooki’s allegedly broken marriage, another source alleged that Snooki complains to “everyone” around her about her unhappy ending.

Source Claims Snooki and Jionni Allegedly ‘Stay Apart A Lot Of The Time’ 

According to this source, Snooki and Jionni allegedly “stay apart a lot of the time.” So far, in 2024, the source claimed that Snooki “hadn’t seen Jionni in a while,” and “within the last several months,” Snooki said that her husband “had left the house.” 

This source also made an unbelievable claim that Snooki and “her more camera-shy husband” take turns living between “two houses they own in different parts of New Jersey.”

Even though Snooki makes her living as a Jersey Shore star, the source alleges that Jionni “often” stays in their house closer to the beach. Allegedly, Snooki stays “at their house further inland,” and the source revealed that this house is “about an hour north” of the property at the shore.

Source Throws Shade At Jionni LaValle

The source also threw shade at Jionni’s cold-sounding sleeping arrangement. They alleged that Snooki “will sleep in her bed with the kids” while her husband stays in “another bedroom,” and Jionni doesn’t “get into their bed” until Snooki “leaves.”

If this doesn’t sound bad enough, the source made a cringe-worthy allegation about “devastating, name-calling fights” between Snooki and Jionni. Sadly, the source claims that these fights often end with Snooki “in tears.”

Why Is MTV Withholding ‘Fallout’ Between Snooki and Jionni?

Reality TV viewers might not believe this “perplexed” source, who doesn’t know why MTV doesn’t show the “fallout” between Snooki and Jionni on air. 

The source claimed to know for sure that MTV had filmed Snooki’s reaction during fights she had with Jionni. But they said, “For some reason, those cuts never seem to see the light of day.” 

Snooki’s alleged marriage drama sounds juicy enough to shock reality TV viewers, so if MTV knows about this but isn’t revealing it, that just makes this scandal more twisted.

The Sun claimed to have another source “close to production,” and this source alleges that Snooki is totally “open about her marital woes” on the set of Jersey Shore.

According to this source, Snooki is “always” alleging that she “doesn’t have the best relationship with her husband,” and they added that Snooki “says it in front of everyone all the time, but it never airs.” 

Source Claims MTV Wants to ‘Protect’ Snooki From ‘Negative Storylines’

It sounds like the two sources have very similar stories, and they’re trying to set the record straight on Snooki’s allegedly failing marriage. However, one of these insiders also has a shocking theory about why MTV doesn’t want Jersey Shore fans to know. 

They told the Sun that MTV wants to “protect” Snooki from “negative storylines” on Jersey Shore simply because she’s a “fan favorite” with the largest social media following.

In yet another twisted side to this story, a headline in The U.S. Sun claimed that “Jersey Shore fans” had found a “new clue” that Snooki split up with Jionni. 

Nicole ‘Snooki’ Polizzi Clapped Back at Trolls

This report was published on January 26, 2024, and shockingly, the Sun wrote that Snooki “clapped back at trolls who claimed she’s having marriage troubles with her husband.” If this is the real truth, what happened to that “venting Snooki,” who sources allege is “always complaining about her marriage?”

Jersey Shore fans thought they found that “clue” in the oddest place: Instagram photos of a first birthday party for Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino’s daughter, Mia Bella.

Mike shared the photos on social media, and one group photo with the Jersey Shore cast got the “trolls” jumping into the comments section. Someone wondered why Jionni is never “around,” and that comment got Snooki’s back up.

The Sun reported that Snooki “immediately defended” her husband, scolding the commenter with a reply that Jionni was “at home with my three kids. Let him be.”

However, the Sun wasn’t immediately rushing to Snooki’s defense. They wrote that “split rumors have long circulated between the pair as Jionni prefers to keep his life more private than his famous wife.”

How Snooki and Jionni Met 

Considering how they first met on a crazy episode of the OG Jersey Shore, it’s no wonder why Jionni is more interested in staying private these days.

The year was 2010, and an extremely intoxicated Snooki was filmed at the Karma nightclub for season three of Jersey Shore. She met Jionni that night, but as the Sun reported, Snooki wasn’t sober enough to remember her future husband’s name, and she called Jionni “Bernard” instead.

There are two sides to the ongoing split rumor, and one is the real truth. 

Why Did Jionni Quit Jersey Shore? 

In 2018, Jionni revealed that he wouldn’t appear in any more Jersey Shore spinoffs, including the most recent Jersey Shore: Family Vacation. 

This would indicate that Jionni wants to maintain his privacy, but at the same time, the Sun claimed that Jionni’s decision to quit Jersey Shore raised concerns “that he and Snooki were having marriage issues.”

Shockingly, Jionni took to Instagram to defend himself and his family, and his social media post sounded like his decision was final.

He wrote, “Hey guys, I’m going to visit this subject one time and one time only.” Then he explained how Snooki was “filming a scene packing up and leaving for her new show,” and Jionni wrote in all caps, “I AM CHOOSING TO NOT be on TV because I simply DO NOT like it.” 

Is Snooki Pregnant With Her Fourth Child?

Jionni also claimed that he and “Nicole” were “doing great” and that they “became even stronger together” as they raised their “beautiful kids.” 

And speaking of kids, the Sun reported another rumor in January 2024 that Snooki was “pregnant with her and Jionni’s fourth child.”

Jersey Shore fans noticed that Snooki appeared to be covering “her belly in loosely-fitted sweatshirts” when she posted photos with her daughter. The Sun added that Snooki was allegedly “cutting back on alcohol.” Still, she denied the pregnancy allegations at the beginning of the year, and there is no confirmation that Snooki is pregnant again in June 2024.

Snooki Defends Husband’s Cheating Allegations

When the Ashley Madison hack happened years ago, Snooki blasted the trolls on Instagram. She confirmed that her publicist warned her there would be a “story” going around that Jionni had “allegedly” become a subscriber, and Snooki claimed that she “laughed” about it.

Snooki added that “it couldn’t be any further from the truth,” and she described her husband as a “stand-up guy” who “loves his family more than anything.” But shockingly, Snooki didn’t claim that Jionni would never cheat.

She wrote, “Honestly, if he wanted to cheat,” that Jionni would just “go out and do it.” Snooki said that Jionni didn’t have to “sign up on a website and pay for it,” and despite years of rumors and allegations about their marriage, Snooki and Jionni have never officially called it quits.

The Warning Signs of Diddy’s Collapse

Photo credit: Diddy/Instagram

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ proximity to violence and brushes with the law go back decades. But, anyone can now see true signs of Diddy‘s empire crumbling … It’s going down, slowly but surely.

In December 1999, Combs and his then girlfriend, Jennifer Lopez, along with rapper, Shyne, were involved in a shooting at Club New York. Shyne received a 10-year prison term. Combs, although charged with weapon violations, was acquitted.

Diddy’s Countless Legal Troubles

His legal troubles intensified in 2023 after Cassie Ventura filed a lawsuit against him. They had been in a relationship for about a year back in 2003. The lawsuit was filed just before the statute of limitations on it expired under New York State’s Adult Survivors Act. Ventura made allegations of physical abuse, sex trafficking, sexual battery and other violations of New York’s gender-motivated violence law. It was settled the day after it was filed, on November 18th 2023 for an undisclosed sum.

Cassie’s lawsuit prompted other victims to come forward. Joi Dickerson-Neal, for example, alleged she had been drugged and assaulted in 1991 at Syracuse University. Another filing as Jane Doe on December 6th 2023, alleged Combs, Bad Boy president, Harve Pierre, and a third unidentified man, gang-raped her at a Manhattan recording studio in 2003. She had been 17 years old.

What Homeland Security Seized From Diddy’s Homes 

By March 25th 2024, Combs appeared on The Department of Homeland Security’s radar. Federal agents moved in to search his properties in LA and Miami. Combs’ lawyer, Aaron Dyer, described the raids as a ‘gross over-use of military-level force’. His outcry earned Combs no sympathy.

These federal raids were part of a wider investigation into allegations of sex trafficking and sexual assault. The agents seized laptops, flash drives, and several other items that could have linked Combs to the allegations.

One of his associates, Brendan Paul, was arrested on charges of cocaine and marijuana possession. Paul pleaded not guilty initially, but later accepted a pretrial diversion program. On its completion, the drugs case against him would be dismissed.

Paul was already linked with allegations against Combs in a lawsuit filed by music producer, Rodney ‘Lil Rod’ Jones, a few weeks earlier, in February 2024. Jones had alleged Combs and several other men, Combs’ son, Justin, among them, were involved in various illegal activities including assault.

Diddy Lost Multiple Brand Partnerships 

Then, in May 2024, disturbing surveillance footage of Combs’ assault on Cassie Ventura emerged clearly validating her claims about his violent behavior back in 2003. It also sparked fresh outrage and a slew of new allegations.

Several of Combs’ former associates were interviewed for a documentary, ‘The Downfall of Diddy’. Whilst exploring the allegations of violent behavior and sexual misconduct made against Combs in separate interviews, the ex-associates, Aubrey O’Day, Mark Curry, Stevie J and Suge Knight arrived at a common theme – there had been total silence from Combs’ closest allies.As allegations were mounting in November 2023, Combs stepped down as chairman of Revolt TV. By December, he had lost 18 of the brand partnerships from his Empower Global project that aimed to uplift Black-owned e-commerce companies. To add to his misery and downfall, Hulu TV announced they had canceled plans for a Combs and family reality show.

Cassie Ventura’s Friend, Tiffany, Says Everybody Was Afraid of Diddy

Cassie Ventura’s close friend, songwriter Tiffany Red, came out with some concerning allegations about Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ behavior for the exclusive clip that promoted Hulu’s special, ‘Impact x Nightline: Diddy’s Downfall’. It premiered on June 6th, 2024. The special explored the criminal sex trafficking allegations around music mogul, Diddy.

Cassie’s Friend, Tiffany, Said Diddy ‘Scared Everybody Around Him’

Red described Diddy as ‘explosive’, saying he ‘scared everybody around him’. Cassie and Red have been friends since 2015. They collaborated on Cassie’s unreleased second album. Red was present when Diddy organized a hotel surprise for Cassie’s 29th birthday party that August. She had felt uncomfortable around Diddy. His behavior disturbed her. She would later describe the feeling in an open letter to Diddy, published in Rolling Stone (Dec. 2023).

On the night of the birthday party, Red witnessed Diddy’s temper first-hand when he forcibly pulled Cassie out of a private karaoke room in front of her and his security team. He wanted her to leave the party and go to their hotel room. Cassie was more interested in going out and singing karaoke.

Tiffany Red Described Feeling ‘Helpless and Scared’

At the time, Red could only watch as her terrified-looking friend was cornered and cursed at by an angry Diddy. She described herself as feeling ‘helpless and scared’.

It gets worse. This particular verbal assault came to match with an account of the same birthday night in Cassie’s 2023 lawsuit. She claimed Diddy was ‘severely intoxicated’ that night. He was demanding she leave the party for a ‘freak off’ – his term for forcing her into sexual encounters with male sex workers. He liked to watch and record it. When Cassie resisted and wouldn’t go to the room, he kicked off, chasing her down the hotel corridors before cornering her, yelling and cursing, outside the elevators where he kicked and punched her, blackening her eye.

There was surveillance footage and eventually it made the news in May 2024. Diddy took to Instagram to apologize, admitting his behavior was ‘inexcusable’. He was ‘taking responsibility for his actions’ that night.

Cassie Ventura’s Close Friend, Tiffany, Speaks Out 

The lawsuit itself was settled the day after it was filed in 2023. The sum wasn’t disclosed and Diddy strenuously denied all its allegations. His lawyer added it was, ‘riddled with baseless and outrageous lies’. Red, knowing differently, felt compelled to speak out and validate her friend’s claims.

Over the course of Diddy and Cassie’s relationship from 2007 to 2008, Red witnessed several examples of Diddy’s concerning behavior. She claimed there were ‘threats, excessive drug use and attempts to silence her’. As she stated, ‘the imbalance of power in the music industry makes it nearly impossible to fight back and terrifying to speak up’.

Red has openly expressed her concerns for her own safety. She hoped revealing her identity as a witness in Cassie’s lawsuit would protect her.More of Diddy’s victims have come forward since. He has five more civil suits against him. Each accuses him of sexual misconduct and each is still active. In March 2024, Diddy’s LA and Miami homes were raided by federal agents investigating criminal sex trafficking. Diddy denies any wrongdoing. ‘Time tells truth’, he posted on Instagram. Needless to say, it got mixed responses.

Rumor Claims Reba McEntire Stormed Off ‘The Voice’

There are rumors, and there are false rumors. This false rumor started on social media in March 2004. It concerned Reba McEntire and the TV show, The Voice. The rumor falsely claimed the country music star left the set angrily after being kicked off by producers.

Fake Ads About Reba McEntire

Although it sounds like a rumor social media fans could get their teeth into, it started as paid-for advertising on Meta’s platforms, Facebook and Instagram. The ads had captions, ‘Reba McEntire Storms off The Voice,’ and even hinted at how the producers threw her out.

According to Snopes, even though the rumor was clearly false, the ads stayed active and continued spreading false information until at least June 6th, 2024. Users clicking through found a website with what looked like an article from Fox News. This article was false; the information in it untrue. Users were being directed to a scam website hosted by Newkirk.buzz.

Reba McEntire Addresses Rumors and False Claims 

The article’s fabricated claim was that McEntire had created a new CBD gummy product that could ‘reverse dementia’. There is no evidence that cannabis in any form can reverse or slow dementia or the diseases that cause it (the British Alzheimer’s Society). Still, the article’s headline stated it had sparked a lawsuit between Fox and McEntire, and McEntire had retaliated ‘on air’.  

McEntire spoke out about the rumors on Instagram (June 11th 2024). Using her official account, she shared images of the ads warning her followers, ‘Please do not click…these are fake websites…they claim I have a company to sell weight loss gummy products. This is false. I do not sell or promote any type of gummy product.’

She hadn’t been ‘kicked off’ The Voice. McEntire is firmly established as a mentor, although in season 1, she’d refused a coaching position despite being considered a ‘natural fit’. However, as she explained on Watch What Happens Live (2022), she wasn’t sure how she would cope with rejecting participants ‘day in and day out’.

It was 2023, late in season 24, when the Grammy-winning actor-singer took a full-time coaching position on the talent show. By then, she had been a battle advisor for Blake Shelton’s team in 2011, and took the role on again in season 8, until by season 23, she was sufficiently seasoned to be a Mega Mentor in the Knockout Rounds. She’s since taken the coaching chair with John Legend, Niall Horan and Chance the Rapper for season 24. With Dan + Shay joining the team, things look ready for the upcoming season.  

Reba Confirms: ‘I Am Not Leaving The Voice, I Am Staying!’

Despite McEntire’s obvious commitment to The Voice, there have been other rumors hinting at behind-the-scenes dramas and intentions to leave. In February 2024, McEntire rejected the idea completely by stating to Extra, ‘I am not leaving The Voice, I am staying!

As Snoops investigated the claims on the Meta platforms, they found similar ads promoting the scam gummies, Bloom CBD and Nature’s Leaf. There were similar false articles about celebrities, too. Facebook has been happily taking money from scammers for years. Mayim Bialik, Kelly Clarkson, Garth Brooks and Dolly Parton are well-known celebrity victims.

The Shocking Collapse of the Kardashians

The Kardashians have been in the public eye for years now and have amassed their fair share of fans and haters alike. But, it seems as though the clan’s influence may be beginning to wane in recent years.

People have been pointing out how they’re no longer interested in keeping up with the famous family anymore on social media. One Reddit user even went so far as to say: 

“I’m so over this family. I don’t watch new episodes of their show, I don’t keep up with their Instagrams. I feel like they fell off this year.”

So, what’s the deal? Have the Kardashians finally hit a wall?

Are The Kardashians Struggling To Stay Relevant? 

The redditor mentioned above put their feelings about the family pretty bluntly, stating: 

“Kim can post all the ass pics she wants, Kourtney can make out with that man, Kylie and Khloe can reveal their son’s names, Kendall can date another NBA player, they can lie more about getting plastic surgery, I literally won’t care. Whatever they do to stay relevant doesn’t move me anymore.”

But, is that really the consensus on the Kardashians? According to Monumental’s Jamie Love, yep, it is. According to Indy100, he points out that they are struggling to stay relevant. He said: 

“They simply are outdated. They rose to fame and influence at a time where we wanted ‘aspirational’ content, overly edited pics were so in style coupled with the desire to look perfect. Authenticity trumps perfection, people want the real thing.”

Could Jamie Love be onto something? Is everyone over the inauthenticity wave?

HighSnobiety seems to agree. They point out the family’s hypocritical social media posts and general Kardashian burnout as big reasons for their shrinking fan base. They also make an interesting point regarding the family’s need to remain relevant at all costs, pushing people to get tired of seeing them everywhere.

Online User Said ‘…They Need To Ghost Us …’

Jamie Love told Indy100 that the only thing that could save the family from complete irrelevance could be something they seem incapable of – ghosting their audience for a while. He stated:

“I think what they need is actually something they would never do, they need to ghost us. Any good celebrity knows that being in the public eye too much and too prominently will cause us to get bored.

Pulling away from the spotlight would allow them to stop struggling to be relevant, take time to reflect, strategise and relaunch with a brand that is more interesting to today’s audience, and hopefully with the size of platforms they have actually make it valuable or impactful.”Ever since they started producing their own shows, the Kardashians have seen their relevance slide. Maybe they really do need to disappear for a while. However, that doesn’t appear to be a part of their plan for the time being. Their show “The Kardashians” is still airing, and they show no signs of slowing down at all, according to Today.

Kelis Speaks Out About Nas Cheating

Photo credits: Kelis/Instagram and Nas/Instagram

‘Milkshake’ singer Kelis has been sharing some of the dirty details about her marriage to legendary rapper Nas. It turns out he wasn’t just a cheat. Their whole relationship was toxic. His rampant infidelity was just the tip of a particularly nasty iceberg.

Kelis Exposes Nas For His Cheating and Toxic Behavior 

The 38-year-old singer-songwriter, opening up in a rare interview, explained how her marriage was plagued with intense highs and lows that revolved around money. It was all good times as long as the dollars came in. However, when they didn’t, chaos descended and their lives lacked any sort of normalcy as excessive drinking and drug use took over.

RELATED: What is Lamar Odom Doing Now?

Kelis, real name Kelis Rogers, was born in Harlem. Her father, Kenneth, was a jazz musician. Kelis got together with Nas in 2002 when she was 22. Nas was 28. She admits to being naïve but also to being head over heels in love. They married in 2005 and divorced in 2009. She claims he had already been sleeping around for 2 years by then. But there were other things too, such as his toxic behavior. There was mental and physical abuse on both sides and she confessed to violent fighting.

Kelis Said Nas Was ‘Angry and Dark’ 

At the time, Kelis put the toxicity down to Nas’s drinking. The ‘Trick Me’ singer claimed he would often blackout and wake up with no recollection of the events. According to her, Nas was ‘angry and dark’ then, and she added that he had not changed at all since they split. 

The final straw came when Rhianna made headlines after a domestic violence incident with Chris Brown in February 2009, the night before the Grammy’s. He assaulted her in a Lamborghini. Pictures of Rhianna’s bruised and battered face quickly went around the world.

Kelis and Nas’ Divorce and Custody Battle

Although Kelis was herself covered in bruises, she recalls she had no plans to leave Nas then. That came a few weeks later, in April. She was seven months pregnant with their son, Knight. The divorce was finalized within a year. She admits she still loved Nas even then, and would likely have stayed longer ‘because we were married’, but for being pregnant.

The divorce was bitter, with a continuous battle over custody of Knight, now a teenager. When Kelis moved with him to Columbia in 2019, Nas claimed it was without his consent. He also accused her of denying him scheduled visits such as on Father’s Day. She accuses him of lying and only wanting Knight for ‘photo-ops’ and that, as a devoted mother, she did nothing wrong. He was not an ‘active’ father.

Kelis Said Nas Will ‘Never Admit to Abuse’

Kelis moved on and received recognition at the Brit Awards, Q-Awards, NNE Awards and the Grammy’s. She married a real estate agent in 2014 and they had two children, before he sadly passed away in 2022.

As for Nas, according to Kelis, he’s still obsessed with his image and will ‘never admit to abuse’. Kelis is adamant, ‘That man is exactly the man I married. He has changed not one iota’.

How Divorce Cured Tisha Campbell

‘Martin’ star, Tisha Campbell is breathing easier after ditching her allegedly abusive ex-husband, Duane Martin.

The 55-year-old comedian claims it’s her divorce that has finally kicked her sarcoidosis into remission. She was diagnosed with the inflammatory lung disease in 2001. She’d been struggling to get her breath when filming ‘My Wife and Kids’.

While Married, Tisha’s Sarcoidosis Progressed to Stage 2

After finding lesions on her neck and arms, doctors ordered tests that confirmed she had stage 1 sarcoidosis. It’s a rare disease that affects Black women disproportionately; in fact, it’s three times more likely to impact them. The immune system forms granulomas that damage the lungs, eyes, skin and lymph nodes. There are several other debilitating symptoms along with shortness of breath and coughing, including tender sores on the shins.

Tisha and Duane met in 1990 and married in 1996. He proposed at Denny’s in the middle of the night. The wedding was a star-studded event that included Will Smith as a groomsman and Tasha and Sidra Smith as bridesmaids.

Over the years, dealing with Duane’s alleged physical, emotional and mental abuse made Tisha’s condition worse. By 2000, when she had her second son, the sarcoidosis had progressed to stage 2.

Since Divorce, Tisha Hasn’t ‘Gotten Sick, Not One Time’

Naturally, Tisha tried everything to bring it under control, even steroids that made her pre-diabetic. She was terrified she’d end up like her friend, Bernie Mac. Mac died from complications brought on by the disease.

She’s been in remission for four years now, she explained in her shocking revelation confirming that her health had improved after her 27-year marriage was over and the divorce finalized.

Although Tisha expressed concerns about getting COVID due to her compromised lungs, she admits that since the split she hasn’t had a single health issue. What’s more, doctors can’t find any sarcoidosis at the base of her brain. As she said, ‘Every cold took me to hospital. Every sniffle.’ Since the divorce, she hasn’t ‘gotten sick, not one time’.

Campbell first filed for divorce in 2018, although the pair had separated on Christmas Eve 2016. They cited irreconcilable differences, but sources claimed they’d been fighting for a couple of years.

Tisha Campbell and Duane Martin’s Divorce and Custody Battle

The divorce quickly turned nasty. She alleged physical abuse and they battled bitterly over the children. Martin denied the abuse allegation and retaliated by claiming Campbell was ‘unstable’ and unfit for custody. She countered that because of the abuse, he shouldn’t have joint custody. The back-and-forth battle continued for over two years until the divorce was finalized in December 2020. Neither had to pay spousal or child support, their assets were split and they had joint custody over their youngest son.

Tisha has always been candid about her poor health and equally open about its dramatic improvement. While Tisha was recovering her health to the point where eventually all her issues would disappear, Duane was busy moving on. In February, he got engaged to model Ashley Marie Jones. He’s 58, but it hasn’t stopped the couple from putting themselves about on social media.

R. Kelly Accuser Lisa Exposes the Truth About Aaliyah’s Mom

Photo credit: Lisa VanAllen/Instagram

R. Kelly’s ex-girlfriends testified against him in his 2008 child pornography trial. Lisa Van Allen went on to appear in the documentary series, ‘Surviving R. Kelly’ the same year. Then, in 2009, she made a shocking allegation. She claimed that R. Kelly confided in her about having a simultaneous sexual relationship with Aaliyah and her mother, Diane Haughton.

Van Allen met R. Kelly in 1998. She was 17 years old then. She revealed the singer had told her privately that he had got Aaliyah pregnant when she was just 15 years old. The pair, he allegedly told her, had married in secret using falsified documents to lie about Aaliyah’s age. According to Van Allen, Kelly went on to tell her they had made a pact to tell no one about their baby or their marriage.

R. Kelly Allegedly Slept With Aaliyah and Her Mother 

If true, what was even more disturbing is that Kelly told Van Allen he was sleeping with Aaliyah’s mother, Diane, too. She testified how he’d described staying at Aaliyah’s family home in Detroit. He’d sneak downstairs at night to have sex with Diane on the living room couch as Aaliyah lay sleeping upstairs.

Van Allen testified how being told about Kelly and Diane was some sort of oh wow moment. Later, once Kelly’s marriage was annulled, both Kelly and Aaliyah denied it. However, the damage was done.

Aaliyah died early, in a plane crash in 2001. She was only 22 and had never publicly discussed her relationship with R. Kelly. Her mother, Diane Haughton hasn’t acknowledged the allegation, either. She and the entire Haughton family have chosen to stay silent on all things R. Kelly-related to protect Aaliyah’s legacy.

R. Kelly Betrayed Aaliyah

If Van Allen’s account of things is true, the singer not only abused Aaliyah but also betrayed her. Such a deep breach of trust back then would be a shock on its own. These days, much more is known about predatory behavior.

Hindsight revealed how Kelly had always had issues with respecting women. When he found himself in court facing sex trafficking and racketeering charges in 2021, Van Allen testified he recorded them in a threesome with an underage girl.

Did R. Kelly and His Team Consider Killing Lisa?

Van Allen went on to describe the chilling events that happened later, after she had stolen the tape and found it missing. She had been given a polygraph test by Kelly’s former manager, and, of course, failed it. As she recounted to the court, he told her ‘he must have marked her from the beginning’. She actually meant they had considered killing her over the tape.

At the time, Kelly and his people had a lot at stake. Although unverified, Van Allen’s testimony added detail to just how far Kelly and his circle were prepared to go to cover up their abuse of children. Even if the allegation about Diane is unfounded, Kelly’s 2021 conviction confirms Van Allen’s incredible bravery when standing up for justice to provide her testimony. Her appearance in ‘Surviving R. Kelly’ exposed some dark truths about the singer but also helped his victims find peace.

Fans Call Out Kim Kardashian for Stealing Spotlight from North

Photo credit: Kim Kardashian/Instagram

Reality star Kim Kardashian has upset her fans again. Last year, it was for her ‘there’s nothing like being a boy mom’ quip and her claim girls have ‘attitude’. This time, the business mogul is getting seriously called out for stealing the limelight from her own daughter, 10-year-old North West.

This particular controversy erupted after Kim hit Instagram to post herself sporting a fluffy yellow outfit. Unfortunately, this outfit was a little too similar to the Simba costume North was wearing for her acting debut in the live performance of The Lion King musical at the Hollywood Bowl.

Kim Kardashian Is Notorious For Making It ‘All About Me’

Making it ‘all about me’ as one fan put it, Kim, 43, struck a pose pre-show wearing fuzzy yellow in the form of a shearling messenger bag, an oversized shearling coat and a huge trapper hat. She followed the theme through for a photo shoot. Donning a pair of sheer leggings for pants as Bianca Censori, and masses of fuzzy yellow as chaps, Kimmy was more reminiscent of Big Bird than Simba.  

Fans were critical anyway, and took to social media to say so, ‘North was having her moment, and here comes Kim trying to steal the spotlight’. It didn’t stop there, ‘Poor North can’t even have her own moment to shine,’ one wrote.

Fans Question Kim’s Motives 

As another critical fan cited Kim for her major ‘I need attention’ vibe, others got busy speculating on her motives. Was the big yellow outfit part of a calculated move to create a buzz around the event, or a buzz around Kim herself?

Her fans quickly moved on to their more regular topic, voicing their thoughts and opinions on KK’s parenting style and choices. It’s not the first time Kim or her family have faced this kind of backlash from fans and followers, although it’s usually for using their fame to push their kids to the fore. This accusation popped up again as North’s acting debut went viral. It spawned a new term, ‘nepo baby’. 

Fans Defend North West

Some defended North’s developing talents, like author Marc Lamont Hill, in an interview with TMZ. He reminded all that although her singing was suspect, North’s celebrity child status could draw crowds to future Disney stage productions. That should bring Disney some comfort.

People get passionate when celebrity parents overshadow their children’s achievements and equally passionate when the same celebs give their kids a leg up, let’s say, into show business. But as some fans pointed out, this sort of thing is a pattern in the Kardashian-Jenner family. Kourtney wore her daughter Penelope’s top. The pic hit the big time on TikTok when some bright spark added what everyone was thinking. The caption read, ‘Kourtney let P shine challenge’. Kylie Jenner does the same with Stormi, opting for the matched designer look when attending events together.

Kim hasn’t responded. It’s nothing new. She let North go to fashion week with straightened hair and wearing make-up, kicking the critics off again. To be fair, Kim is usually quite open about the challenges she faces raising four kids with an ex-husband who, like her, lives life under a spotlight.

The father of Yung Miami’s son passed away four years ago, and the singer is now speaking out about her loss and the way it affected her. Losing a loved one is never easy, and it is especially hard for someone who is left raising a child alone. Since the passing, Yung Miami has achieved a lot of success but has also garnered much criticism. 

Yung Miami’s Baby Daddy, Jai, Shot and Killed 

Yung Miami and Jai Wiggins had a messy history, with Yung Miami filing for a restraining order against him in 2015. He nearly went to jail for violating that order in 2019. There are numerous reports that Jai was abusive, but the pair continued an off-and-on relationship for years.

Despite their troubled relationship, they did co-parent their son Jai Jr. He was only seven years old and two weeks away from his birthday at the time of Jai’s passing in 2020.

Jai was shot and killed in June 2020, but very few details were released after the incident. Although Jai and Yung Miami struggled over the years, she recently had a lot to say about him as a father. 

Yung Miami Said ‘It’s Been 4 Yrs Since My Bd Passed …’

Yung Miami posted several photos of Jai and her son to mark the fourth anniversary of his passing. She also added several crying and broken heart emojis to the photos, as well as “4 YRS WOW.”

The caption read, “It’s been 4 yrs since my bd passed he died 2 weeks before my son 7th birthday my son turning 11 in 2 weeks ahhhhh.” Another post read, “I’m trying not to cry today but the rain is not making it no better.”

Fans quickly offered support in the comments, and some offered lighthearted comments to try to cheer the singer up. Of course, nothing can bring Jai back or fill the void he left, especially for him and Yung Miami’s son, Jai Jr. 

Yung Miami Speaks Out In Interviews 

This year isn’t the first time Yung Miami publicly remembered the passing of Jai Wiggins. Last year, Yung Miami did an interview with The Cut where she recounted some of the heartbreaking details surrounding Jai’s death. 

In the interview, Yung Miami states that she never really had time to process her emotions after Jai’s passing. She was working a lot, and her schedule kept her busy. 

Keeping busy after a loss can be a good thing and a way to avoid sinking into a depressive slump. However, it is also important to take the time to properly process what happened. 

Yung Miami acknowledges in the interview how many people deal with depression after a loss and is thankful that she was able to overcome it by working. 

Yung Miami’s Breaking Point 

However, she eventually reached a breaking point and started crying uncontrollably at times. She even noted that she would try to hide her emotions by going for a drive or taking a shower so those around her wouldn’t see.

She also started questioning why it happened while still trying to stay composed for the sake of her children. Around the time of Jai’s death, Yung Miami was also starring in BMF on Starz. Her character’s father dies in the show, which she said only added to her emotional struggle. 

Although Yung Miami is often seen as a powerful singer and actress, she has endured a lot. Her battles show that people can appear fine on the outside while dealing with serious internal struggles.
