Irv Gotti Speaks Out on Ashanti

May 30, 2024

Irv Gotti made an outrageous claim about dating Ashanti while they were both in relationships. It all started when Irv and Ja Rule went on the Drink Champs podcast a couple of years ago.

Irv claimed that he had an affair with Ashanti 20 years ago. He also said that he was married to his first wife, Debbie Lorenzo, at the time of the alleged affair.

He went on to admit that Ashanti had already gotten into a relationship with rap star Nelly at the time. Irv said that he and Ashanti were together “every day” that she wasn’t with Nelly. He also claimed to have come up with Ashanti’s 2002 hit song Happy after they shared an evening together.

Irv went on to discuss what their relationship was like these days. He said that they “didn’t see eye to eye” anymore.

Immediately after Irv shared these revelations, Ashanti came out with a very different story. In conversation with Angie Martinez on her IRL podcast, she quickly shut down any talk of Irv ever being her boyfriend.

She repeatedly stated that that was never the case and that Irv just flat-out lied about so many things. Ashanti said Irv had several girlfriends while separating from Debbie, but she was never one of them. She went on to add that Irv was “salty” when he found out about her dating Nelly.

Then, she made some huge claims of her own. Ashanti recalled Irv reacting to the news about her and Nelly by attempting to block her career from progressing. Allegedly, he told people not to record with her and stopped her from coming to the studio.

Ashanti’s Friend Didn’t Defend Her

This back-and-forth caught the attention of a lot of hip-hop fans. Another detail that drew a lot of commentary was the fact that Ja Rule listened to Irv’s claims without defending Ashanti.

The friendship between Ashanti and Ja Rule has been common knowledge for years, even leading to rumors about a romantic relationship between the two artists. This is mainly due to the huge success the pair have found collaborating on music together.

They have always been open about their close friendship, but both have denied ever being a couple. The fact that they’ve always been so close is why Ja Rule was criticized for failing to stand up for Ashanti to Irv.

He claimed not to have known that any of this was going on between Irv and Ashanti. However, he did call Irv out at one point when he referred to Ashanti with a disrespectful expletive. A lot of people felt that Ja Rule should have done a lot more, including Ashanti herself.

On the IRL podcast, she told Angie that she spoke to Ja Rule after the podcast. While she was “grateful” that he had defended her, she also told him that she felt he didn’t defend her enough.

Someone else who thought so was Fat Joe. He took to Instagram Live to say that Irv had been disrespectful in his ranting about Ashanti. He went on to say that whatever happened was done 20 years ago, and this just made Irv look like he wasn’t over her.

What’s even crazier is that Joe didn’t just call out Irv. He also slammed Ja Rule for failing to defend Ashanti.

Ashanti Allegedly Had an Affair

Ja Rule has since responded by insisting that he did stick up for her. Later, he took to Instagram to make it clear that he did not condone what Irv said on the podcast. He hoped that people understood how uncomfortable it felt to be put in the position he was now in.

So much of what we know about Ashanti’s partners has been speculation and gossip. It was also claimed that she had an affair with rapper Andre Parker between 2003 and 2005.

Madame Noire reported in 2013 that the two had a relationship despite both being involved with other people. At the time, Ashanti was dating Nelly and Andre was with Keyshia Cole, who Ashanti co-wrote the song Woman to Woman with.

The speculation about Ashanti continued for years after she ended things with Nelly. During an appearance on The Breakfast Club, she had to deny rumors that she was dating wide receiver DeSean Jackson. However, she did admit that she had recently attended a match with him.

Another footballer who was linked to Ashanti around the same time was Darnell Dockett. After she tweeted to wish him a happy birthday in 2015, many took this as confirmation of their relationship. However, if they ever really were dating, it didn’t last past 2016.

Irv’s Record Label Was Raided by Federal Agents

That whole time, Irv never said anything about any affair he had with Ashanti. It took until his 2022 appearance on Drink Champs for his wild claims to get air time.

Irv signed Ashanti to his record label in 2001. The label went on to reach its peak between 2001 and 2003. As well as Ashanti’s incredibly successful first album, Ja Rule released Pain is Love with the label, which was just as popular.

The two artists also started making a lot of songs together. To date, they’ve made at least 10 tracks together, including classics like Mesmerize and Wonderful. Then everything came crashing down.

On January 3, 2003, the label’s office was raided by federal agents. Irv and his brother, Chris Gotti, became the subjects of a two-year-long legal case, as they were accused of running the label as a money laundering scheme for the infamous gangster Kenneth “Supreme” McGriff. The case racked up some insane costs, with Irv spending as much as $10 million in legal fees.

During the trial, the label did not distribute any music, and the business suffered. However, other scandals began bubbling up that would start to have a negative effect on the label and its artists.

In 2009, Ashanti was released from her contract to make music independently. At one point on the Drink Champs podcast, Irv opened up about how he felt when he was told she was leaving his label.

According to Irv, Ashanti told him she didn’t want to do it anymore. Irv said that this “cut him deep,” as he believed he was the one who first gave Ashanti a chance. It might have been that the federal charges the label was facing at the time scared Ashanti into leaving.

Ashanti Has Moved on With Nelly

It’s unknown what Ashanti and Irv’s relationship is like these days. Since he made his comments on the podcast, Ashanti has had to spend a lot of time denying the rumors of a romance between the pair.

On the other hand, the singer’s romance with Nelly has been rekindled for a while now. In recent months, the couple have been very public about getting back together.

The two of them appear to be all loved up again. Fans were devastated when they appeared to call it quits back in 2013. It would be a long time before we were treated to Nelly and Ashanti sharing a stage once again.

They were reunited for Fat Joe and Ja Rule’s Verzuz battle in 2021. It wasn’t long before gossip of a potential rekindling of their romance started to swirl. The following year, Ashanti even let us know that they were in a much better place during an interview.

Soon, they were spotted out and about together several times. It wasn’t long before they went public, saying that they had gotten back together.

Currently, Ashanti is actually pregnant. So she will probably be hoping that Irv has less to say about her relationship with Nelly this time around.

Danielle Busby’s Major Health Update

May 30, 2024

For years, fans of OutDaughtered on TLC have known that star Danielle Busby has dealt with many health-related struggles. A few years ago, she was afraid she may have suffered a heart attack and may require heart surgery.

Despite doctors doing heart tests and other checks of her body, they’ve struggled to give her a proper diagnosis. She has since also struggled with inflammation, migraines, and pain throughout her body. Doctors also worried she could have had fibromyalgia, and began treating her for the condition.

Fibromyalgia is a chronic disorder that causes pain, discomfort, and tenderness throughout the body. It also causes fatigue and can negatively impact a person’s sleep and mental health. Simply trying to live a normal life suffering from this condition can be debilitating.

As you can imagine, dealing with these health concerns took a considerable toll on Busby in her daily life.

Danielle Busby and her husband Adam are the parents of the only set of all-girl quintuplets in the USA. They were born on April 8th, 2015. The OutDaughtered show premiered just over a year later and is currently on its 10th season on TLC.

Throughout this ordeal, Danielle and her family took breaks from filming. Communication about her overall condition has remained sporadic over the years. As a result, fans have always worried about her, wondering if her condition had worsened.

Danielle’s Health Has Improved

Thankfully, she recently gave a major update in an interview with Parade about her health and how things are going. While she still has her ups and downs, she reported that she’s been doing much better in the recent couple of months, and is on a routine that seems to be working well. She has relied not only on medical doctors but has also taken a holistic approach to alleviating her problems.

While she doesn’t have a specific diagnosis yet, it’s believed that carrying quintuplets could have been a big reason for her health issues. Of course, this was incredibly hard for her body, and the impact on both her heart and nervous system has lingered for years since. Regular blood work with doctors has identified vitamin deficiencies, and she continues to be treated for fibromyalgia.

Having a solid routine and taking the proper medication and vitamins has helped, but she still suffers from swelling, weight fluctuations, nerve pain, and more. This has been challenging for her husband and the rest of her family to deal with.

It remains to be seen whether or not she’ll be able to get a concrete diagnosis and eventually get past her ailments. At least she’s able to keep her health problems relatively under control with the proper lifestyle changes, medication, vitamins, and assistance from experts.

Allison Holker Speaks Out On tWitch

May 30, 2024

Stephen Laurel Boss, better known by his stage name “tWitch” was a brilliant dancer and entertainer whose life was tragically cut short by a sudden suicide.

His passing took many, especially his family, by surprise, according to the LA Times. His widow, Allison, has taken time to let fans and friends know how things were between them and how their family is handling his loss.

Allison Opens Up About Her Late Husband

After a protracted grieving period, Allison has opened up to fans and the media about Stephen and the times they shared together. According to The News, Allison recounted having had a deep conversation with Stephen in which she forgave him under a starlit sky. Her words were, “I was outside and I was looking at the stars and I said — whether it was necessary or not, I don’t know if it was necessary or needed — but I forgave him.”

“I said, ‘I hope you found that peace.’ Like, genuinely, I really hope he found that peace that he needed and that he felt like he needed. You know?”

“And that’s a really hard thing to do. But, I just have so much that I want, I needed to allow myself to almost be free of that for him.”

Stephen’s Legacy Lives On

Stephen’s light shone brightly among the stars he danced with and entertained. As an actor, Stephen appeared in numerous films, including the Ghostbusters reboot of 2016 and the Step-Up series. He was also a producer for the Ellen DeGeneres Show.

Of course, Stephen’s contributions as a contestant, team captain, and judge on “So You Think You Can Dance” are especially memorable. The competitive show also introduced him to his wife Allison. The two competitors fell in love and enjoyed a steady married relationship for years.

Stephen’s widow Allison is now doing her best to preserve the late star’s legacy, letting people know just how much he meant to all of his fans and his family. According to CNN, she described the entertainer in glowing terms.

“Stephen lit up every room he stepped into. He valued family, friends, and community above all else, and leading with love and light was everything to him. He was the backbone of our family, the best husband and father, and an inspiration to his fans.”

Allison Continues to Honor His Memory

At just 40 years old upon passing, Stephen left behind, not only his widow Allison, but their three children as well. Stylecaster reported that Allison highlighted all the good he did for his family and fans in her statement:

“To say he left a legacy would be an understatement, and his positive impact will continue to be felt. I am certain there won’t be a day that goes by that we won’t honor his memory. We ask for privacy during this difficult time for myself and especially for our three children.”

Despite the devastating loss, Allison had this personal message for her late husband: ”Stephen, we love you, we miss you, and I will always save the last dance for you.”

The Truth About Blake Shelton’s Stepkids

May 30, 2024

In a recent interview with ET, Blake Shelton talked about not only his relationship with Gwen Stefani but also his relationship with his three stepchildren and how they’ve changed him as a man. Shelton and Stefani first met when they were judges on the 7th season of “The Voice” in 2014. While they didn’t get to know each other very much during their first season together, the second season was a much different story.

In 2015, the pair began to bond over both of their recent high-profile divorces. Stefani had split from her British rockstar husband Gavin Rossdale after nearly 13 years of marriage, and Shelton divorced country music star Miranda Lambert after a 4-year marriage.

They were able to help each other through some dark times and began a relationship soon after. Despite the public not giving their relationship much of a chance initially, it has stood the test of time. They’ve been together for nearly a decade with no end in sight.

Stefani has three sons from her previous marriage to Rossdale, including 17-year-old Kingston, 15-year-old Zuma, and 10-year-old Apollo. While Blake has been in their lives for almost a decade, it wasn’t until July 3rd, 2021 that he became their official stepdad. He and Stefani got married at a small chapel on his Oklahoma property.

He says that being a father has changed him in every possible way. He’s been committed to raising the boys and treating them like his own since the start.

He takes inspiration from his own father who was a stepdad to his older brother, Richie Shelton. His older brother unfortunately passed away in a car accident in 1990, when Blake was only 14 years old.

The Boys Have Changed Blake’s Life

Blake Shelton also said he’s fallen in love with the boys just as much as he has with their mother. They have changed his outlook on life. He’s just happy that he’s been able to impact their lives during his time as their stepfather.

He says he’s loved being able to teach them about the country lifestyle, whether it be the music itself or being out on his property, meeting animals, and getting their hands dirty. It’s a much different perspective than what they experienced with a mom and dad who were rock music icons.

When he looks back at the relationship, and how it started, he still can’t believe it sometimes. At first, he thought that they didn’t have much in common or much to talk about. Then, mutual difficulties in life brought them together, and the rest is history.

He’s looking forward to many more years together with Stefani and their sons. As for what the future has in store, he said a repeat of the last 10 years would be perfect.

Russell Simmons Defends Diddy

May 30, 2024

Sean “Diddy” Combs is still juggling a number of legal matters pertaining to multiple sexual assault lawsuits and a federal probe. The music mogul has kept a low profile throughout the recent events and hasn’t addressed the accusations of sexual abuse.

For the most part, other music industry leaders have chosen to keep quiet about Combs’ legal problems. But it looks like record executive Russell Simmons has now weighed in, and he’s defending Diddy.

The co-founder of Def Jam Records just posted a live video on Instagram that has been divided into several parts. Among the many subjects he addressed was the recent rap dispute between Drake and Kendrick Lamar. While talking about the idea of people pulling each other down, Russell Simmons brought up Diddy.

Simmons urged followers to reconsider their enjoyment of the recent comments made about the troubled Grammy winner. However, he did not specifically address the legal issues the rapper is dealing with.

“When you tear someone down or you watch someone tear someone down, try not to get so excited,” said Russell in the live video. “I know it’s fun to watch for some people.”

If I had a nickel for every nasty meme sent to me by people whose lives were enhanced and built by Sean Combs. It’s like, it seems a bit hypocritical since the only reason you have a life is because you worked for him, or he gave you a job or lifted you up somehow.”

What is Diddy Being Accused Of?

Sean Combs is involved in a number of lawsuits brought by different plaintiffs. Cassie, his ex-girlfriend, said he had abused and sexually assaulted her during their more than ten-year relationship.

A day after the case was settled, Joi Dickerson-Neal sued Diddy, alleging that he had sexually assaulted her in the early 1990s while she was a college student. Former producer Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones claims Combs drugged and harassed him sexually. Two Jane Does have also filed lawsuits pertaining to sexual abuse.

Diddy has refuted the claims made against him via his legal team. According to People Magazine, he just moved to have a December 2023 filing from one of the Does dismissed.

Back in March, Diddy’s houses were searched in relation to an alleged sex trafficking investigation. Federal agents left with bags and boxes full of computers, phones, and other personal items after the searches at his homes in Miami and Los Angeles.

Russell Simmons Doesn’t Want to “Watch Our Brothers Fall”

During Russell Simmons’ live video, he discussed his opinions on the subject of sexual assault allegations and his own experience. Several women accused Simmons of sexual assault back in 2017. Denying the accusations, he eventually left Def Jam and his other companies.

In the Instagram Live video, Simmons discussed how difficult it is to watch “our brothers fall.” “Watching our brothers fall is hurtful,” said Simmons. “Having everybody get together and laugh at our brother’s fall or supporting the tearing down of our brothers is tough.”

Diddy has not been charged with any crimes related to the lawsuits or federal raids as of this writing.

Meri Brown Is Desperate for Money

May 30, 2024

There is no shortage of reality stars trying to make money on the internet these days, and the latest one appears to be Meri Brown from Sister Wives. The hit TLC show is well over a decade old at this point, and things have unraveled quickly for the family in the last few years. Meri is the third and most recent of the four wives to leave their shared husband, Kody.

The news shouldn’t come as a major shock as longtime fans of the show know that the pair’s relationship struggled from their early days on TV. Still, three of the “wives” leaving within three years is a surprise to many, especially as Koday and Meri were together the longest. The most recent season of Sister Wives wrapped up in December, with much of the season covering the breakup.

It obviously didn’t take long for Meri to realize that her reality TV career was nearing an end. She recently launched a website called Worthy Up, which she calls “a space where every woman recognizes her worth, embraces her uniqueness, and thrives in a community that celebrates individual and collective growth.”

Meri posted a link to the site on her Instagram at the beginning of May to share the new community with her followers. Unfortunately, commenters quickly ridiculed her over the cost.

What Is Worthy Up?

The Worthy Up site offers three membership tiers. The cheapest starts at $150 and the highest costs $600. There is also a middle tier for $300. The membership lasts one year and includes the “benefits” listed on the site.

However, it still isn’t clear what people paying these high prices actually get. For example, every tier includes a “Printable PDF WOW workbook” and access to a Facebook group. Still, that does not explain what you are paying for or how it will improve your life.

The highest tier includes a monthly Q&A and live discussion with Meri.

Meri is offering an additional package under the website’s EXPERIENCES tab. It is a “Daycation” in Orlando on June 2nd. There are only a few details about the event, but the listing does mention a day at Disney with Meri.

This experience appears to include more than one of her memberships, at least. However, the cost for the single-day event is $300, which does not include airfare or a hotel.

It’s still hard to say whether this is a get-rich-quick scheme or an attempt at life coaching. Nonetheless, it is unlikely that people are lining up to sign up for a questionable “service” when many are questioning what they can afford at the grocery store.

Mary appears to be leveraging the last bit of her reality TV fame before it fades. There is no word on whether Meri will be in the next season of Sister Wives. Rumors indicate that filming for season 19 is underway, and it will cover the recent death of Kody and ex-wife Janelle’s son Garrison.

Meri’s Previous Career

Newer Sister Wives fans may not recall Meri working, which raises some questions about her financial situation. However, she was going to school for Psychology and worked in the industry in the early days of Sister Wives.

Unfortunately, Meri left that job shortly after season one premiered as people began recognizing her. Since then, she participated in several business ventures. However, it is unclear whether any of those were successful or whether she plans to rely on Worthy Up to support her.

Two of Meri’s ventures were multi-level marketing schemes with clothing companies LuLaRoe and Park Lane. Meri also owns a bed and breakfast called Lizzie’s and is active on Cameo, a platform where fans can pay celebrities to send them personalized messages.

With all these business ventures, it is hard to believe Meri will go broke anytime soon. However, she may see the writing on the wall as she fades into obscurity after being on TV.

Jamie Foxx’s Daughter Exposes Her Dad and Diddy

May 30, 2024

Allegations have emerged that Jamie Foxx’s health scare was not a random act of fate but a deliberate attempt on his life. And the prime suspect is none other than Sean “Diddy” Combs!

These claims could easily have been dismissed as tabloid trash. However, they were made by Jamie’s daughter, Corinne Foxx, which made people look into the matter more keenly.

When Jamie Foxx’s health took a mysterious turn for the worse, it became so severe that his fans feared for his life. It took a long time before the public got an official statement regarding Jamie’s health. People realized he wasn’t coming back to the scene anytime soon when his projects were halted, and a stand-in actor had to be used.

At one point, rumors swirled that he had lost his sight. After Jamie’s recovery, he described the ordeal as a brush with death.

Corinne believes that Diddy was trying to take her father out of the picture. Given the dark rumors surrounding Diddy, Corinne’s accusations aren’t easy to ignore. Thankfully, Jamie bounced back without permanent damage, but fans were left to wonder what really happened. Diddy’s name kept popping up.

Diddy’s Plan Was Long in the Making

Jamie and Diddy used to be tight. Diddy was Jamie’s gateway to the music world, and Jamie often attended Diddy’s infamous parties. These weren’t just any parties—they were legendary in the hip-hop scene, and Jamie wanted in.

However, Jamie made the mistake of spilling party secrets. He mentioned the extravagant sums Diddy blew on these events—money that common folk will never see in their lifetime. Jamie even named big industry players like Jay-Z, Kanye West, Dr. Dre, and Pharrell Williams as regulars at Diddy’s bashes.

What Jamie didn’t realize was that these revelations were a big no-no. Diddy’s parties were shrouded in secrecy, with attendees signing NDAs to ensure silence. Jamie’s loose lips might have convinced Diddy that he needed to silence his former friend permanently.

RELATED: JLo Exposed by Diddy

In his stand-up routines, Jamie once joked about a fight with Jennifer Lopez, Diddy’s then-girlfriend, mocking her singing abilities. These jabs likely added fuel to Diddy’s fire.

Jamie was just reminiscing about old times, unaware that his words would land him in the hospital for months. If Corinne’s allegations are true, Diddy’s plan to get back at Jamie was long in the making, striking when Jamie least expected it. Now that Jamie has a second shot at life, fans are hoping he’ll take legal action if Diddy was indeed involved.

This Isn’t the First Accusation Against Diddy

Diddy has a history of such accusations. When Kim Porter, his ex-girlfriend, died of pneumonia, many suspected foul play.

Kim’s ex-husband, Al. B claimed that Kim had confided in him about Diddy making her life a nightmare and that she had critical information about him. Shortly after advising her to contact the FBI, Kim was found dead.

In another twist, Al. B ended up in the hospital, comatose, when he started talking about the foul play surrounding Kim’s death. If you’re skeptical about Diddy’s capacity for violence, music producer Lil’ Rod’s 70-page lawsuit against him reveals Diddy’s boasts about bribing witnesses and jurors in his 1999 club shooting case.

So, did Diddy have a hand in Jamie’s illness? While the truth remains murky, one thing is clear: Diddy doesn’t take kindly to those who cross him. Jamie’s ordeal might just be a warning to anyone thinking of exposing Diddy’s secrets.

What Happened to Tom Brady and Bridget Moynahan’s Son, ‘Jack’

While Tom Brady is now known for his NFL accomplishments and his relationship with Gisele Bündchen, you may have forgotten that he has a son with Blue Bloods star Bridget Moynahan. John “Jack” Edward Thomas Moynahan has turned 16, and it’s time to look at what happened to the boy.

Tom Brady and Bridget Moynahan’s Shocking & Unexpected Pregnancy

The arrival of Jack was a shock. Brady and Moynahan had broken up by the time of the pregnancy, so the two had to quickly figure out how they were going to co-parent. Neither parent expected this, but they quickly focused on what was best for their child. That didn’t stop the two from being excited about the birth. According to PEOPLE Magazine, a friend of Moynahan’s said that she was “excited,” knowing that she would be a “great mom.” Brady’s agent, Don Yee, shared that “Tom and his family are excited about the pregnancy.”

Jack was born on Aug. 22, 2007, with fans seeing signs that the baby was about to be born. Tobert Kraft, the Patriots owner, had lent Brady his private jet and Brady missed practice that day. However, Brady didn’t make it to the delivery room. He was at St. John’s Medical Center in Santa Monica, California, and then went in afterward.

Tom and Bridget’s Healthy Co-Parenting Relationship

The two celebrities co-parented, with Jack spending most of his time with his mother and currently lives in New York with her, where she films Blue Bloods. However, Brady still played an important part in his life. Moynahan spoke out about how her son had “two loving parents.” She also commented on Bündchen’s role, who stepped in as a stepmother.

There were many reports of problems between mom and stepmom, but that’s not what was going on behind closed doors. Moynahan shut down the rumors as soon as she could. Both of them found partners who supported Brady and Moynahan co-parenting and also loved Jack as their own.

When Bündchen gave birth to her son with Brady, Benjamin, she commented about how good Jack was as a big brother. Jack became Ben’s hero.

What Are Tom Brady’s Son’s, ‘Jack,’ Career Plans?

As much as many would love for Jack to follow his father’s footsteps, Moynahan shared in 2017 that Jack is more interested in playing soccer. He also watched the 2016 Olympics and wanted to win gold in swimming. Brady confirmed Jack’s love for soccer and the idea of becoming an Olympian in 2018, sharing that “He wants to be an Olympics soccer goalie.”

That has changed. In 2023, Moynahan shared that he is more into basketball and lacrosse, according to The New York Post.

That hasn’t stopped Jack from playing football. He plays quarterback on his high school team. This is something that father and son bond over. Jack even signed up to be a ball boy for the Buccaneers in 2021.

What about an acting career? That’s not something Moynahan has influenced. She is focused on him growing up as a kid and finding his own thing. At 16, he doesn’t know what he wants to do yet, according to Moynahan’s interview on Live with Kelly and Mark in 2023, but that’s okay! She has focused on taking him to concerts, with one of his most recent being a Red Hot Chili Peppers Concert. He is also currently learning how to drive now that he has his learner’s permit, according to Page Six.

The Downfall of Dog the Bounty Hunter

May 30, 2024

Duane “Dog” Chapman made a name for himself as a bounty hunter, becoming famous in 2003 when he captured Andrew Luster, heir to the Max Factor cosmetics fortune. Luster was accused and later convicted of multiple sexual assaults using the date rape drug GHB.

A year later, Chapman was given a television show, Dog the Bounty Hunter. It aired on A&E from 2004 until 2012.

After that, he and his late wife, Beth, starred in a similar show, Dog and Beth: On the Hunt, which aired on CMT from 2013 until 2015. His most recent series, Dog’s Most Wanted, aired in late 2019 on WGN America.

Chapman is no stranger to controversy. He was charged with third-degree murder in 1976 and spent 18 months in jail. More recently, his first TV show was temporarily taken off the air in 2007 when he was recorded repeatedly using a racial slur in a private telephone conversation that made its way online.

Still, he undoubtedly found significant success. At one point, he had an estimated net worth of around $6 million. However, he’s now fallen on hard times.

Dog Has Faced Significant Difficulties in His Life

He’s suffered a lot of loss in his life. His son, Zebadiah, died at just 30 days old in 1980. His daughter, Barbara Katy, lost her life in a car crash in 2006. In 2022, his “right-hand man,” David Robinson, died after collapsing during a Zoom call at his home.

But the loss of his wife, Beth, contributed most to Chapman’s downfall. She was diagnosed with stage two throat cancer in September 2017. The disease was initially pushed successfully into remission, but it returned and spread to her lungs.

After being placed in a medically induced coma, Beth died from complications from the illness on June 26, 2019. She was just 51 years old.

The medical bills for Beth’s care left Chapman on the brink of being broke, and he nearly lost his home. Thankfully, that didn’t happen. Sporadic appearances on shows like The Masked Singer (on which he suited up as an armadillo) will certainly assist in fixing that unfortunate financial predicament.

Chapman has since remarried. He met Francie Frane six months after Beth’s passing. Like Chapman, Frame had recently lost her partner.

The couple tied the knot on September 2, 2021. It’s Chapman’s sixth marriage overall.

Soon after Beth’s passing, Chapman experienced chest pains and was diagnosed with a pulmonary embolism – a potentially fatal blockage of the arteries. He refused treatment for the condition and was told by the prominent physician and television personality Dr. Oz that he was a ticking timebomb who was doing himself and his loved ones a disservice by ignoring the ailment.

At 71, as he adjusts to life without a television contract and embraces his latest marriage, those around him hope he remains healthy and happy despite his concerning diagnosis and recent monetary woes.

Kellie Pickler’s 911 Call Revealed

May 30, 2024

A recently released audio recording reveals the distressing 911 call made by Kellie Pickler’s assistant on the day they discovered her husband, songwriter Kyle Jacobs, could be dead. The country singer Kellie Pickler can be heard screaming in agony in the background. Both women were in shock after seeing blood oozing below the bedroom door in their Nashville home, immediately assuming the worst had happened to Kyle.

Kellie’s assistant, Sherry Caldwell, quickly dialed 911 at around 1:20 pm on February 17th, 2023, pleading for immediate help. From the exclusive audio, Sherry is heard saying, “Somebody’s shot or something.”

When asked if they were near the person, Sherry replied, “We just see blood, and the door’s closed.” She then added that the blood was coming from under the door and begged the dispatcher to hurry. Throughout the call, Kellie’s voice could be heard screaming hysterically, though her words remained inaudible.

The Women Knew What Lay Behind the Door

The entire experience was extremely traumatizing for the two women. They were unsure of what to do other than call 911.

Sherry described the scene as so horrific that they were scared to open the door, but they had a grim idea of what had happened. She said, “We think we know, but…please hurry.”

The dispatcher assured Sherry that help was on the way but continued to probe for more information. The dispatcher asked, “Do you think he shot himself?” Sherry hesitated before responding, “He’s got a gun…yeah.”

In situations like this, dispatchers often direct callers to check on the victim and attempt to help before emergency services arrive. Sherry was asked if she could open the door and try to stop the bleeding.

Summoning all her strength, Sherry can be heard walking and then telling Kellie, “They want me to see if I can stop his bleeding.” Kellie continued to scream hysterically.

Sherry then informed the dispatcher that the door was locked. The dispatcher urged Sherry to seek help from neighbors to get the door open, saying, “If you can, try to get somebody to help you get that door open.”

Kellie Only Recently Spoke Out About the Tragedy

Unfortunately, by the time help arrived, Kyle was already dead. Three months after the incident, autopsy results revealed that the cause of death was a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The death was ruled a suicide.

Further diagnosis from the autopsy didn’t find any drugs in Kyle’s system but revealed that the songwriter had a long struggle with pseudoseizures. This condition means he experienced seizures caused by psychological issues. Kyle, who was 49 at the time, also suffered from elevated liver enzymes, gastrointestinal bleeding, and chronic alcohol use.

Kellie and Kyle shared a beautiful 11-year marriage, even documenting their union on the show “I Love Kellie Pickler.”

It took Kellie six months to publicly talk about the horrific incident. She paid a heartfelt tribute to her late husband, saying, “One of the most beautiful lessons my husband taught me was in a moment of crisis if you don’t know what to do. ‘Do nothing, just be still.’”

Kellie expressed her gratitude to friends, family, and everyone who supported her during her darkest moments. She thanked them for continuously checking on her.
