In the last couple of months, it appears that Jessica Simpson has been worrying her close friends and family with some unwelcome and troublesome behavior.
According to an insider source who spoke to In Touch, Jessica has been keeping to herself a lot lately. And because of that, many of those close to her are worried that she may relapse at any moment. This would be particularly devastating for both Jessica and her loved ones, as she has remained sober since 2017.
Jessica Simpson’s Friends and Family Are Reportedly Worried
The source assured the publication that the people close to her are extremely worried, but that they may not be able to say it directly to her face. They said “Jessica was absolutely not on point during her minimal public appearances.”
And on top of that, they also added that she doesn’t leave the house almost at all, and her appearance is starting to also look very strange. It seems as if she’s getting so much cosmetic surgery and touching up her face that she may become unrecognizable, and her loved ones are very worried it can go bad fast.
Much of this behavior appears to be out of the blue, but at this point it’s gotten so bad that the source claims her marriage is also now on the rocks. She is, of course, married to the former football player Eric Johnson.
Jessica Is Acting Out of Character
This new attitude is surprising and very uncharacteristic for her, as many who are close to her are confused why she would turn her back on the spotlight. Only to replace her time with being indoors and sometimes even incoherent, and then when she does go in public, it seems as if she’s under the influence of something.
Even still, she only apparently goes outside once every few months or so. What’s also strange about the situation is that just last year, Jessica had expressed an interest in getting back into her singing career.
And she was even using her platform to speak out about her recovery process and what it was like to become sober. The source told the publication that she was actually able to book gigs, even though she doesn’t have that many songs to sing.
But they believe that her representatives didn’t do enough to make that dream happen for her, so it never came into fruition. “[They] let her drift because she doesn’t ‘need’ to work. But anybody who knows Jessica knows that she’s happiest when she has a lot going on,” added the source.
Does Jessica Simpson Need Help?
This is the exact opposite of what’s happening now with her, and that’s why her behavior is so concerning. But even so, there isn’t any real explanation as to why this is happening, and the only thing that they can do for her now is be there for her.
Only time will tell if this will turn into a bigger issue or not.
At least we can hope that one of her close friends or family members decides to finally speak up and tell her their concerns. Hopefully, she can start on her road to recovery, for whatever she might be going through.
In 2021, Cecily Barmore was arrested in relation o a DV charge during a confrontation with her partner. TMZ were the first to report that cops in Honolulu were called to the scene of a couple fighting just before midnight in July that year.
According to police reports obtained by TMZ, on arrival the police talked to Cecily’s partner, who she had reportedly been with for five years. Her partner told cops that Dog’s stepdaughter allegedly punched and even bit him.
Dog the Bounty Hunter’s Stepdaughter, Cecily, Spoke Out
According to the police report, Cecily’s partner admitted that they had both been drinking before things got a little out of control. Cecily allegedly became verbally and physically abusive, and according to her partner punched him on both sides of his face and bit his upper back.
Her boyfriend also told police that similar attacks had taken place before. He claimed that it had happened several times, although this was the first time he had called the cops on her.
Cecily was placed under arrest for misdemeanor abuse, but the Honolulu Prosecuting Attorney’s Office reportedly said that they would not be pressing charges against her. TMZ later caught up with Cecily herself to get her take on what happened.
Cecily Claims She Stood Up for Her Late Mom
And it was a whole different story. She confirmed there was an altercation during which, “a man” struck her, and also “said vile things” about her deceased mom, Dog’s former wife Beth Chapman. Cecily went on to say, “I used proportional response, disabled the aggressor, and stood up for the memory of my mom.”
Regarding Beth, Cecily added, “She would have handled it the same way, I can assure you.” Since then, it seems like Cecily has been able to put the incident behind her. But she has since made headlines for other, sadder reasons. As it turns out, since the tragic loss of her mom, Cecily’s relationship with her stepdad has fallen apart.
Cecily Wasn’t Invited to Dog’s Wedding
Along with her younger half sister, Bonnie, Cecily told TMZ that they had both not been invited to Dog’s wedding. Cecily had previously said that she assumed that Dog thought she wouldn’t want to be there. But if she had been asked to go, Cecily stated that she would have attended the wedding.
She also went on to reveal that she had never actually met Dog’s new wife Francie in her life. And that she had only seen her dad twice since Beth’s funeral. However, Cecily had tried to be diplomatic about the situation.
She said that her dad had to find his own happiness and that she was happy for him, before adding that he had to do what he had to do. Although her family ties might not be as strong as she might want them to be, Cecily seems determined to keep her head held high.
Megan Thee Stallion is facing a controversial lawsuit by her ex-cameraman. NBC news reported that a man named Emilio Gracia claimed he was forced to witness her being intimate with another woman, while they were traveling in a car together. He was reportedly then warned by Megan the following day never to discuss what he’d seen.
The lawsuit alleged that she created a hostile work environment by berating and fat-shaming Emilio. He claimed this made his working conditions intolerable.
Emilio said he began working with her full-time after quitting his other work in 2019. He apparently was her personal cameraman until 2023.
Just one year before he stopped working for her, Emilio went on a trip with Megan to Ibiza. According to the lawsuit, he was in an SUV with her and three other women after a night out. Megan and one other woman reportedly began engaging in adult activities in front of Emilio and the other women in the car, while it was still moving.
Emilio said he felt uncomfortable, and he was kind of frozen. He claimed he was shocked at the overall audacity that they’d done that right beside him.
According to Emilio, Megan wasn’t sure that her former cameraman was in the vehicle with her until she asked him the next day. She reportedly told him not to say anything about what he’d witnessed.
Emilio Was Body-Shamed by Megan
After returning to the U.S., Emilio said the way that he got paid by Megan changed. He was originally being paid a monthly flat rate, but it was then changed to a pay-per-task setup.
He reportedly was still being asked to do the same type of work, but it was essentially for less money because of the new payment system. The lawsuit also claimed that Megan generally treated him poorly throughout the trip to Ibiza.
Emilio said his employer would call him fat. She supposedly shamed him on a number of occasions by telling him things like “you don’t need to be eating,” and “spit your food out.”
He went on to say he was shocked by this behavior because of Megan’s public advocacy for body positivity. In his interview with NBC News, he shared that “to hear someone who advocates about loving your body tell me these things, I felt degraded.”
Emilio Was Let Go from His Position
After coming back from their trip to Europe, Emilio claimed he noticed some big changes at his work. He believed he was being treated differently, and that Megan was hiring him less and less for bookings. It reportedly led him to consider finding other work.
However, he stayed with Megan until June 2023, when he alleged he was let go the day before a booking. He claimed he was simply told that his services would no longer be required by Megan.
According to his lawsuit, Emilio has grappled with mounting anxiety, depression, and physical distress stemming from a toxic work environment.
Megan’s lawyer Alex Spiro released a statement saying that the lawsuit was an employment claim for money, with salacious accusations to attempt to embarrass his client. He added that it would be dealt with in court. NBC News reported that representatives for Megan’s record label, Roc Nation, hadn’t responded to their requests for comment.

Do you remember a couple of years ago when Morgan Wallen and Megan Moroney were allegedly dating? In a radio interview with 99.5 QYK earlier in April, Megan dropped a bombshell about her “boyfriend.” Who is this guy?
Megan claims she is keeping his identity a secret. Listen closely because you won’t believe what Megan has revealed.
Sources claimed that Morgan and Megan’s rumored relationship was a publicity stunt to help her become famous. If that’s the real truth, then there’s no such thing as bad publicity!
Whatever happened between Megan and Morgan—if anything did, in fact, happen between them—the untold truth is being exposed. It’s being called a huge “drama.” Some people think that Megan put the Morgan dating rumor into overdrive.
A couple of years ago, Megan appeared on SiriusXM’s The Highway and confirmed that she’d worn something belonging to Morgan. There’s nothing quite as telling as a girl wearing a guy’s clothes to prove they’re in a relationship. But there’s a twist.
After she confirmed the shocking fact that she’d worn Morgan’s clothes, Megan double-backed and made it all sound harmless. She claimed she’d worn a baseball-style athletic shirt with the University of Tennessee Volunteers logo to promote her hit song, “Tennessee Orange.”
Megan explained, “It is [Morgan’s] shirt. But it’s just a shirt.”
Before she said that, she also explained the backstory of her hit song. Megan attended the University of Georgia, and the school’s biggest rival in college sports has always been the Tennessee Volunteers (called the “Vols”).
Megan’s Concert Only Fueled the Rumors
Megan told SiriusXM that “it just felt wrong” when she tried on a Tenessee Volunteers shirt. That made her think it might be a good idea for a song, so she brought it to her team, who wrote “Tennessee Orange” together.
However, when the X platform used to be Twitter, a user also posted a video of Megan in concert. There are two crazy things about this concert, and it didn’t help those Morgan dating rumors to go away.
The first-ever solo show that Megan headlined took place in Knoxville. If that sounds “harmless,” Knoxville is also the home of the University of Tennessee. Megan wore another Vols jersey that night with a crazy connection to one of Morgan’s hit songs.
Megan performed in Knoxville wearing an “official” No. 16 Vols jersey, just like a lyric in Morgan’s hit “Had Me By Halftime,” where a girl is wearing the same jersey. Still, Megan tried to set the record straight. She tweeted that Knoxville, the No. 16 jersey, and Morgan’s song were all “coincidences” that she could explain away.
The No. 16 jersey was NFL legend Peyton Manning’s number when he played college football for the Vols. Megan confirmed that she was wearing a “Manning” jersey for her Knoxville performance.
She also made a pointed comment about Morgan’s song, saying that she knew he didn’t write that for her because the song was released in 2018. This was years before Megan even arrived in Nashville.
The Dating Rumors Made Megan Uncomfortable
In June 2023, Megan did an exclusive interview with People Magazine, and it sounded like the Morgan dating rumors were starting to get on her nerves. Was she saying that the boost to her career wasn’t worth it?
Shockingly, Megan told People that she was “having a panic attack” during her interview with SiriusXM The Highway. She was “honestly shocked” at herself for confessing that she’d worn Morgan’s Vols shirt.
Social media only fuelled the rumors from the beginning. Fans were all over it when they noticed Megan and Morgan posting comments to each other online.
Then there was the viral TikTok video of Morgan in concert, where he answered a fan’s question on a poster and confirmed that Megan wore his Vols shirt.
The dating rumors even filtered into the music. Fans were shocked when they listened to the lyrics in Morgan’s song, “Tennessee Fan.” Could the “blonde” that Morgan sang about be Megan, and was he her “Tennessee Orange” boyfriend?
According to what Megan told People, the Morgan dating rumors began and ended when she wore a Vols shirt to promote her song. She even complained that the whole thing had made her “really uncomfortable.” Megan added, “I’m not the kind of person that likes to talk about things like that.”
She tried to set the record straight by explaining that her songs are about “people” without specifically revealing it was Morgan. When you listen to Megan’s music, it’s pretty obvious that she’s singing about somebody, but she doesn’t want to tell anyone who those people really are.
Megan gave the example of “Tennessee Orange” being a “very nice song.” Still, if she revealed the person in the song, she said she’d “feel pressure” to reveal the identities of other people in “not nice” songs, like the cheating boyfriend in the song “Sleep on My Side.”
Megan told People that the crazy Morgan dating rumors that blew up with “Tennessee Orange” taught her one thing. She never wants “to hint at who my songs are about, ever again!”
The Dating Rumors Are Back
Whether Megan has learned her lesson or not, the dating rumor has resurfaced again this year. You won’t believe who’s spreading it around this time. Country Cast reported this past March that there was renewed “drama” in the Megan and Morgan dating rumor and that Megan and Morgan were both stirring the pot in their new music.
Allegedly, Morgan started it this time. Country Cast explained that Morgan recorded new music at the legendary Abbey Road Studios in London, England.
While that’s great for Morgan, one of his latest songs, “Lies, Lies, Lies,” has fans convinced he’s singing about Megan and the fallout of their alleged brief relationship. Even more shocking, Country Cast claimed that Megan’s new song, “No Caller ID,” is a not-so-subtle jab at Morgan.
However, other media outlets, like Whiskey Riff, reported that “people are convinced” that Megan’s song got the rumor mill churning again, and Morgan is responding with his. Morgan sure sounds heartbroken in “Lies, Lies, Lies.” His lyrics describe him “begging a girl to stay” and telling her there’s “nothing I wouldn’t do for you.”
Megan’s “No Caller ID” lyrics are also sad but sassier. She accuses whoever is trying to “move back in” when she’s “movin’ on.” Megan sings, “Here you come again, who could it be? It’s 3 a.m., no caller ID.”
Both songs are classic heartbreak tunes, but do the lyrics contain some untold truths? The Celeb Wives of Nashville Subreddit usually runs with these rumors, but they weren’t interested in yet another discussion about Morgan and Megan ever hooking up.
One user confirmed that Megan did contribute to writing “No Caller ID.” But other users insisted that Morgan didn’t even co-write “Lies, Lies, Lies.”
Most users didn’t want to hear any more “drama.” One user even threw shade at outlets like Whiskey Riff for the reliability of their gossip info.
Megan Found a New Love
Besides, Megan recently spilled the tea about her “boyfriend” in that radio interview with 99.5 QYK. Whoever this guy is, he’s on a super-lucky streak dating Megan at this point in her smoking-hot career.
Megan has gone on tour with country megastar Kenny Chesney, and the first concert date was April 20th at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa. Other opening acts were Uncle Kracker and Zac Brown Band.
The 99.5 announcers claimed they had to “fill [Megan] in” about the “benefits of touring with Kenny.” He’s an incredibly generous entertainer who holds huge wrap parties for his “tour mates” and invites everyone on vacation to celebrate the “end of [a] tour.”
Then Megan filled the announcers and listeners in on her secret love life. She claims she’s been “dating a new guy for a while now,” although just like her songs, Megan didn’t hint about her man’s identity, and she’s definitely not sharing “pictures or videos of him on purpose.”
But Megan did drop the reveal that her boyfriend is “just a normal guy,” and she “wants to keep it that way.” For a normal guy, he’s going to have a great spring and summer because Megan also confirmed to 99.5 that her boyfriend will be with her on the Kenny Chesney tour!
Hailey and Justin Bieber have revealed that they’re going to be parents, and they’ve kept the pregnancy a secret longer than fans realized. According to her Instagram, Hailey announced the news on May 9th with a post that contained footage from her vow renewal with Justin.
The couple recently traveled to Hawaii to have their vows renewed. On top of renewing their commitment to each other, they also shared a photo of Hailey’s pregnant belly with Justin hugging her from behind. Both of their hands were on her tummy.
The video also contained other photos from the vow renewal and their trip to Hawaii. There was a photo of Justin standing in a field and another of them showing off their wedding rings.
Fans have been wondering for a long time when the two were going to have children. Both Justin and Hailey had different timelines on when to start having children, although they knew they’d have kids one day.
Justin once spoke with Ellen DeGeneres during an interview about having children, and he said that he wanted to have as many children as Hailey wanted to push out. Although he was ready to start growing their tribe immediately, Hailey wasn’t on the same page.
Justin explained that she had a few things that she wanted to do first. Having to care for a baby wouldn’t allow her the freedom she needed to accomplish certain goals. Justin also added that it was okay that Hailey wasn’t ready yet since it was her choice to make.
The Internet Was the Last to Know About the Pregnancy
Hailey must have finally accomplished what she set out to do since she’s been six months pregnant already. It seemed the couple knew it’d be difficult to hide their pregnancy for much longer.
Hailey has also talked about her frustrations with the media always asking if she was pregnant. During an interview with GQ Hype, she talked about how everyone kept assuming she was pregnant when she actually wasn’t.
She said she found the experience disheartening because it made her feel bad about her body. Just because she had a day where she was a bit bloated, everyone just assumed it meant it was because she was pregnant.
It made her feel as though she couldn’t just have a day where she was a bit bloated without it turning into pregnancy rumors. Hailey also said that the constant obsession about whether she was pregnant or not was something she tried to ignore, but it bothered her.
She also foreshadowed her pregnancy announcement when she said that once she was finally pregnant, the internet would be the last to know. After six months of being pregnant, Hailey kept true to her promise. The internet was the last to know.
As for raising their child, Hailey first talked about how she wanted to raise the baby out of the spotlight. She’s since backtracked on that statement.
At the time, she didn’t know who she was going to end up marrying. After marrying Justin, Hailey is a bit more realistic about the publicity that they both have following them.
So, while she may want to keep the baby’s life private, it may not always be possible. Either way, Hailey said that she was looking forward to motherhood, and with her new bundle on the way, she’ll finally be able to experience it.
In so many ways, Miranda Lambert and her younger husband, Brendan McLoughlin, seem like a crazy and totally opposite match. But allegedly, these two have one scandalous thing in common. Both of their exes have accused them of cheating.
What’s the real truth about these two? Do you really think they’ll stay together?
One thing’s for sure: Miranda and Brendan’s meet-cute in Manhattan was straight out of a romance novel! USA Today reported how Brendan got introduced to Miranda’s celebrity world, why they seemingly work as a couple, and who played matchmaker in the first place. The USA Today article revealed what Miranda told the New York Times about her unexpected meeting with her future husband in Times Square.
Miranda was in New York to appear on ‘Good Morning America’ with her girl group, Pistol Annies. As she told the Times, she remembers that time well because their record “came out the day after Halloween.”
On November 2, 2018, Pistol Annies was interviewed on GMA and performed for fans on stage outside the studio. Miranda revealed that her future husband “was doing security there for the show.” But Brendan was more than just a security guard. When he met Miranda, he was a 23-year-old New York City police officer, and she was a 31-year-old divorced country music superstar.
A Reverse Cinderella Story
It’s interesting that the Pistol Annies performed the lead single off their new record, “Got My Name Changed Back.” According to Taste of Country, the song is a “sassy take on divorce,” and most people assumed it was Miranda’s diss track to her famous ex-husband, Blake Shelton.
But Blake wasn’t on anyone’s mind after Miranda’s bandmates, Ashley Monroe and Angaleena Presley, got one look at Brendan wearing his NYPD uniform in the crowd. Miranda told the Times that her “girlfriends, the Annies,” saw Brendan and figured to themselves that she “might be ready to hang out with someone” like him.
It sounded like ‘reverse Cinderella’ when Miranda revealed that Ashley and Angaleena invited Brendan to the Pistol Annies show without Miranda knowing anything about that. She told the Times, “They plucked him for me.”
Apparently, Miranda’s personal security guard approved of the ‘hot cop,’ too. Miranda explained, “My security guy Tom, he was in on it too,” and Tom said to Miranda, “He’s here. And he’s pretty.”
Brendan and Miranda Only Dated for Three Months
Us Weekly took a deep dive into Miranda and Brendan’s short dating life and quickie wedding. They revealed that Miranda told SiriusXM in February 2021 that she and Brendan “didn’t date very long before we got married.”
Miranda wasn’t joking! Us Weekly confirmed that she and Brendan “exchanged vows” in January 2019 after dating for barely three months.
Miranda claimed that she and her new husband “really, really, really” got to know each other with “no distractions” on her Tennessee farm outside of Nashville. She claimed, “I was really thankful for it because it made us really strong.”
Miranda did keep her second marriage quiet for a few weeks. On February 16, 2019, she posted on Instagram that she wanted to “share some news.”
Miranda wrote that she was revealing this shocking news “in honor of Valentine’s Day.” She dropped the bombshell she’d met “the love” of her life, and they got “hitched.” Her post ended by admitting, “My heart is full. Thank you, Brendan McLouglin, for loving me for… Me.”
No one is saying that Miranda shouldn’t enjoy a storybook romance like this, but this is real life. She forgot to mention a few insane details about her hot young husband and the love of her life.
Brendan Has a History of Cheating
Us Weekly reported Brendan was a father. Shockingly, his “first child, son Landon,” was born just three days after he met Miranda for the first time.
An Us Weekly report published a few days after Miranda revealed her second husband on Instagram gave a revealing look into his scandalous love life. According to the “mom” of one of Brendan’s jilted lovers, he was engaged to her daughter when he cheated and got another woman pregnant.
The mom, Carol Bruno, told Us Weekly that her daughter, Jackie Bruno, was “blindsided” when Brendan cheated on her with Kaihla Rettinger. Carol said that Jackie “was thrown for a loop; she had no clue” when her fiance got another woman pregnant.
Even more shocking, Carol alleged that Brendan tried to keep it under wraps. It was Kaihla who dropped the bombshell that she was having Brendan’s baby.
According to her mom, Jackie was “in Sweden playing professional soccer,” but Jackie got injured and “came home.” Then, Carol alleged that “the girl contacted her” and broke the devastating news.
Carol threw major shade at Brendan, claiming he “tried to deny it.” Allegedly, he “begged” Jackie to stay with him.
Blake Dissed Miranda in a Song
The allegations of Brendan’s heartless cheating on a former fiance were bad enough. But how does it compare to Miranda’s even more infamous cheating scandals?
After their shocking split in 2015, Blake wasn’t shy about dropping hints that he believed Miranda hadn’t been faithful during their marriage. In a People.com article that was updated several years ago, Blake claimed he was getting “really candid” about his nasty breakup with Miranda.
There was a song on Blake’s album If I’m Honest called “She’s Got a Way with Words.” Someone interviewing Blake asked him if the “lover who lied and cheated” in the song was a diss at Miranda. His shocking answer to that question sounded like he really wanted to set the record straight.
He said when he recorded vocals for “some of these songs,” he was “only six months removed from when all the crap went down.” He didn’t mention her name, but Blake added, “You can learn some facts of my divorce. Maybe not specifics, but you can get a general idea about it.”
Blake explained that he needed to get his “broken heart” out of his system. Shockingly, he confessed that he wanted people to “sympathize” with him. He revealed, “I was at rock bottom, in the middle of hell.”
Miranda Rarely Talks About Landon
Somehow, Miranda and Brendan made it through those insane cheating allegations, not to mention the scandal of his son being born to another woman just days after he met Miranda. Several months after their wedding, Us Weekly reported that Brendan supported Miranda at “her annual Mutt March in Nashville.” Miranda is committed to animal rescue and being a “dog mom.”
But Miranda did make a revealing comment to Extra about being a stepmom—listen closely to this. She told Extra, “My stepson is amazing,” and she was “loving that whole phase.”
Miranda explained that she’d “raised a million dogs” and that the “womanly/motherly” part of her life was “full.” It seemed like Miranda was setting the record straight on having kids of her own when she revealed, “Hey, I got the dogs, you got the kid, we can mix and mingle.”
Hello! Magazine reported last year that Miranda had “reunited” with her “rarely seen stepson” during a visit to the Big Apple. According to Hello!, Miranda and Brendan’s family plans were also still up in the air. Landon was four years old, and the outlet claimed that “Miranda rarely talks about Landon, especially amid current rumors of the couple trying for kids of their own.”
Brendan Gives Miranda Her “Harsh Reality”
Whether or not Miranda and Brendan do have kids together, they allegedly “delighted” their fans “with a rare glimpse of their life together at Brendan’s home in New York.” USA Today also reported this year that Miranda had appeared on the Tamron Hall show. On it, she dropped a bombshell about her marriage.
Miranda told Tamron that Brendan always tells her the “truth.” That might sound pretty tame, but Miranda claims Brendan gives her “harsh reality, and I love it.”
According to Miranda, everybody needs a “truth-teller” in their life. She also said that Brendan is “very New York” about telling her the whole truth and nothing but the truth. USA Today even described Brendan’s honesty as “blunt.”
As hot as he is, Brendan does more than pose shirtless for thirst traps on Miranda’s Instagram. He fills his Instagram with plenty of gushing posts about his wife. When Miranda celebrated her 40th birthday, Brendan gave her an especially loving tribute on social media.
Brendan wrote that he was the “lucky one because 40 has never looked so good.” He revealed how thankful he was to “stand beside” Miranda “for yet another year around the sun.”
He added that Miranda shouldn’t change for anyone. Brendan finished by writing to his wife, “The world is [a] much better place with you in it.”

Jeezy has finally spoken out after shocking statements made by his ex-wife in court. TMZ reported that new legal documents filed by TV host Jeannie Mai have made serious allegations about Jeezy’s behavior towards her during their marriage. This came after Jeezy protested the unfair amount of time he was allowed to spend with his and Jeannie’s daughter.
In response, Jeannie presented allegations of harm and dangerous behavior which cast doubts over Jeezy’s conduct. Jeannie presented alleged photo evidence to support her claims of physical harm. She also claimed that Jeezy is prone to explosive outbursts, excessive drinking, and even DV.
One incident Jeannie recalled in the court documents allegedly occurred in April 2022. She stated that the former couple were staying at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in San Francisco, California. She went on to claim that while she was walking up some stairs, Jeezy choked her from behind.
Jeannie accused him of then pushing her down the stairs. Hotel security allegedly arrived on the scene to intervene and take a report, which Jeannie claimed to have a copy of.
TMZ reported that while there was no explicit mention of choking, the report did cite arguments that the hotel security had to mediate between Jeannie and Jeezy. The report also acknowledged claims from a lounge server who was said to have seen Jeezy push Jeannie.
In a separate incident Jeannie cited in her court documents, Jeezy allegedly crashed a golf cart they were both sitting in. Jeannie claimed that this was the result of excessive drinking on Jeezy’s part.
She reportedly attached to this claim alleged text messages between her and her ex-husband which include images of her bruises from the crash. The texts themselves allegedly contain evidence of Jeezy apologizing for his actions.
Jeezy Wants More Custody Time with His Daughter
Some of the most shocking claims Jeannie made against Jeezy were about just how dangerous his behavior around the house was. She claimed that Jeezy would leave firearms all over the house with their daughter nearby. Jeannie even attached alleged photo evidence of the weapons Jeezy irresponsibly left lying around.
All of her claims were in support of Jeannie’s request to deny Jeezy more custody time with their daughter.
After her request was filed, Jeezy shared his reaction on social media. He posted a lengthy statement on Instagram in response to the stories that had emerged about him.
Jeezy wrote, “The allegations are not only false but also deeply disturbing, especially coming from someone I loved.” Jeezy went on to describe Jeannie’s accusations as a “malicious attempt to tarnish” his “character” and “disrupt his “family.” He called it “ridiculous.”
Jeezy finished his statement by doubling down on his intention to remain “an active father” to his daughter as he fights for joint custody.
USA Today reported that Jeannie had become concerned about letting their daughter spend more time with Jeezy. This was allegedly because he had “refused” to abide by a request in their mediated agreement to provide an inventory of all the firearms in his home.
The agreement also requested that Jeezy ensure the weapons were all secured before he was allowed parenting time with their child. Like all of Jeannie’s other claims against him, Jeezy has denied the accusation, describing Jeannie’s claims as “manipulation and deceit.”
Jeannie Still Loved Jeezy After Their Split
The rapper filed for divorce from Jeannie in September of last year, after two years of marriage, citing “irreconcilable differences.” A source talked to Page Six shortly after their split hit the headlines to share how Jeannie had been doing since the separation.
The source said that Jeannie still wanted her marriage to work and wanted her family to be one solid unit. The source added that Jeannie still “deeply” loved Jeezy and that getting divorced was not part of the plan for her, although, from the latest allegations in Jeannie’s legal documents, that may no longer be the case.
But a short time later, some rumors seemed to shed light on why Jeezy decided to walk away from Jeannie. A week after Jeezy filed for divorce, rumors emerged that Jeannie had cheated on him with actor and TV host Mario Lopez.
The speculation arose after Jeannie guest hosted on Mario’s show Access Hollywood. Fans remarked on the obvious chemistry between them and theorized that there might be more to their relationship than just being colleagues.
It didn’t take long for Jeannie’s team to come out with a response to the rumors. They immediately tried to shut them all down.
Sources told TMZ that there was absolutely no truth to any rumblings of infidelity between Jeannie and Mario, or anyone else. The sources also added that any perceived chemistry between them was simply professional. They emphasized that Jeannie was still “heartbroken” over Jeezy and focused on doing whatever was best for their daughter.
Jeezy Exposed Jeannie in His New Song
However, some wild developments have brought accusations of infidelity back into the conversation around the couple’s split. Fans were in meltdown after Jeezy released a new song that appeared to comment on his failed marriage.
The rapper’s new double album, I Might Forgive… But I Don’t Forget, already had a pretty shady title. But the name of one of the singles on the album only made things look worse for Jeannie. The song, called Don’t Cheat, seemed to be Jeezy’s way of expressing his truth about their divorce.
In the song, Jeezy cleared his own name of infidelity. He rapped about earning money while Jeannie slept and claimed that real men don’t cheat. It wasn’t long before listeners were drawing their own conclusions, commenting that Jeezy’s latest music was proof that Jeannie was to blame for their divorce.
Entertainment Tonight gave a different explanation for what happened between Jeannie and Jeezy. Apparently, the divorce came about because the two disagreed when it came to certain family values and expectations. They reportedly had different views and felt like their needs were not being completely met.
More recently, both parties have spoken publicly about their breakup. Jeezy broke his silence by releasing an official statement after Jeannie made several public appearances.
In his statement, he said that the decision to end this chapter of his life “had not been made impulsively.” He added that it did come with a “heavy heart.”
However, Jeezy chose not to reveal any damning information that painted his ex in a bad light. Despite deciding to divorce her, his love and respect for Jeannie remained. He claimed that the time they spent together would hold a cherished place in his heart.
Like Jeannie, he went on to talk about their daughter and described her as his main focus. He called her the best gift from their relationship. He said he was committed to making sure that she felt the love and stability she deserved.
The Couple Faced Cultural Issues
More recently, however, an interview with Nia Long gave Jeezy an opportunity to share a different side to his story. According to him, many of the issues between Jeezy and Jeannie had allegedly been “cultural” issues. For example, Jeezy struggled with Jeannie’s decision to move her family members into their Atlanta mansion, which was totally normal for her.
When Nia asked if the former couple had tried therapy, Jeezy confirmed that they had. Unfortunately, he claimed that it didn’t actually help.
Clues about what Jeezy felt went wrong in his marriage might be found in the title of his newest album. For her part, Jeannie chose to address the drama through public platforms and TV shows.
She appeared on Sherri Shepherd’s Sherri show to comment on the ongoing divorce. She opened up about how hard the process has been on her.
Now, it seems like she’s focused on doing her talking in the courtroom. Neither she nor Jeezy appear to want to hold back on telling their truth about their crumbling relationship.
At this point, it seems that they’re both focused on their daughter, Monaco. However, it’s clear that this is also the cause of a lot of their current drama.
Only time will tell what happens next, and if any more serious allegations come out about either Jeezy or Jeannie. For now, we will just have to wait and see if they want to share anything else.
R. Kelly’s former wife has had her say on the disgraced singer’s victims. Drea Kelly shared her take on the fallout surrounding the horrifying stories that emerged about R. Kelly more than a decade after splitting up with him.
And what she said was a reflection of a great problem in society, exposing a dark and upsetting truth about our culture. The Guardian reported that a culture around victim-shaming was the reason that so many women took so long to come forward with the truth about what they experienced at the hands of R. Kelly.
Drea Kelly Spoke Out In Support of R. Kelly’s Victims
After he was found guilty on all nine counts put against him in 2021, Drea’s words helped explain that there’s so much more work that needs done to help others in similar situations. She described her ex’s conviction as “a step forward.” However, she stressed that the most important thing was what would happen next.
Drea said that it was important that “women are supported to even feel like they have the strength to come forward and tell their stories” during an interview in the UK. She continued, “If they’re still victim shaming, victim blaming, and women being afraid to speak their truth, we can never get to a court system where justice can be served.”
Drea has three children with R. Kelly, who she was married to from 1996 to 2009. She has also talked about the horrible abuse she herself suffered at the singer’s hand. Drea described her marriage as “a life of constant fear.”
In her interview, she also stated her belief that racism was partly to blame for the long struggle for R. Kelly’s abuse to reach the public. She explained, “I’ve always said if any of his victims were blonde and blue-eyed it wouldn’t have taken this long.”
Disturbing Allegations About R. Kelly Continue to Emerge
She added that “women of color tend to be lowest on the totem pole” when it comes to subjects of abuse. Since Drea shared her story, R. Kelly has been spending all his time behind bars. However, he has continued to make headlines.
Last year reports emerged of a woman who claimed to be the singer’s partner and stated that she was carrying his child. The woman, named Joycelyn Savage, presented courts with documents proving that she was actually R. Kelly’s fiancée.
And in August of 2022, a memoir was released that appeared to be written by Joycelyn. It was titled “Love and Joy with Robert” and was advertised as a confession about their relationship.
In it, Joycelyn apparently claimed that she’d received an engagement ring from R. Kelly the day after he was sentenced to 30 years in prison. And this short book contained the first shocking claim of Joycelyn’s pregnancy by R. Kelly, which was apparently something that the couple had been trying for for a while.
Since then all kinds of crazy stories have come out, including disturbing claims from Joycelyn’s dad Timothy that the claims were a scam, and that Joycelyn’s whereabouts were unknown. While he is no longer able to harm anyone, it seems that the damage R. Kelly has already done continues to be felt by countless victims.
“Hey Bill, I’m going to miss you. You are still my favorite rock star & my hero. This one’s going hurt.”
The news is especially devastating as Bunnie was raised by her dad only and was extremely close with him throughout her life. In May of 2023, Bunnie had him as a guest on her podcast, Dumb Blonde, where they discussed what she was like as a child and memories that they had from when she was growing up.
Just a few months later, Bunnie revealed that her dad had been secretly dealing with Stage 4 cancer for a year by that point. He specifically never told any of his children, and instead kept it between himself and his wife while he privately battled the cancer using holistic remedies.
Bunnie XO and Jelly Roll Took Over Bill’s Care
He finally told his kids when the cancer moved into his bone marrow. It was then that Bunnie moved him from Houston to Nashville, where she and Jelly Roll live.
She also got him a new medical team in hopes of beating his cancer. At the time, Jelly Roll shared an update about how his father-in-law was doing, saying:
“Bunnie’s dad’s doing well. He’s sick. I hate to say it this honestly — he’s clearly in what is obviously the last phase of his life. But he’s doing a lot better now that he’s here. Bunnie moved him here. She’s getting him all kinds of help, a new chain of doctors … she’s got enough resources to do a lot to try to help him.”
Bunnie also shared videos of her dad fighting in the hospital. However, in November, she shared a devastating update– that he had been moved to hospice and was running out of options for treatment.
Bill Had Hip Replacement Surgery In February
But then it seemed like things might be looking up in February. Bunnie shared that Bill had undergone a hip replacement surgery. And this was a pretty big deal, considering how bleak things had been just a few months prior.
Everyone was relieved that he was doing well enough and felt strong enough to go through a hip replacement surgery. And he seemed to be doing well with it.
In the video, it was obvious that Bill had lost a startling amount of weight from his cancer, but he seemed to be in good spirits as he rolled around in his wheelchair. He told Bunnie and his wife that he was even hoping to get back on a motorcycle soon.
Then, a few weeks later, Jelly Roll melted the hearts of his fans when Bunnie posted a video of Jelly and Bill. In the video, posted in early March, Jelly Roll approached Bill from behind and kissed him on the head. When Bill realized who it was, he reached for his hand and asked how his son was, showing their close relationship.
Bill spoke proudly of both Jelly Roll and Bunnie on her podcast, and she and her dad were incredibly close.
Mashonda Tifrere made a pretty public scene when she first found out about Alicia Keys and her ex Swizz Beatz. She basically blamed Alicia for the end of her marriage, and it honestly looked like she’d never be able to forgive her.
But over time, the three of them have managed to make a happy, blended family together. And you won’t believe the kind of relationship Mashonda and Alicia have these days. Here’s what she said about Alicia in more recent years.
What Happened Between Swizz, Mashonda and Alicia?
You probably remember all the scandalous news about how Alicia supposedly stole Swizz Beatz from Mashonda back in the late 2000s.
The pair had been married for four years and had welcomed a son named Kasseem Jr. when they announced their split in 2008. In an interview with MTV, Swizz claimed that they’d already been separated for 10 months before the news first went public.
It was around that time that he supposedly began dating Alicia Keys, who he’d known since they were just teenagers. At first it was mostly the press that was speculating that there’d been an affair, but then in 2009, Mashonda finally spoke up about how she was feeling, and she dropped a total bombshell.
Mashonda Spoke Out Against Alicia
VIBE published an open letter that she’d written to Alicia. In it she accused her of contributing to the ending of her marriage. I mean, it really looked like Mashonda had nothing but hatred and anger towards her ex’s new partner.
In 2010, the same year the divorce was finalized, Swizz and Alicia got married. And a few months later Alicia gave birth to their first son, Egypt. Their second son, Genesis, was born four years later.
And Mashonda made it no secret that she really struggled with the huge change in her personal life. But cut to 2018, and not only were Alicia, Swizz and his ex wife co-parenting successfully, Mashonda had even written a book about it.
She called it Blend: The Secret to Co-Parenting and Creating a Balanced Family. It was amazing because the co-parents in her life didn’t just approve of the book, but Swizz even wrote a chapter in it, and Alicia wrote the foreword for it.
The three of them sat down in an interview with PEOPLE to talk about the book, and revealed that they’d become good friends and were proud of everything they’d accomplished for the sake of their blended family.
The Three Ended Up Co-Parenting Together
And how they actually got to that point is seriously impressive — because let’s face it, not a lot of exes end up getting along with each other OR their ex’s new partner.
Mashonda confessed that it took two years into their blending to make it happen, but when they did, it was like turning the light on.
They apparently realized they could minimize the impact on their children by reducing the conflict they had with one another.
Mashonda claimed that there were never any big blowouts. There were times when they didn’t fully agree, but they were all comfortable just letting it go.
Alicia agreed with her ex’s baby mama, and added that the three of them had worked and prayed together and allowed the space for everyone to be heard. She said it was one of the things she was most proud of.
While promoting her book, Mashonda, Swizz and Alicia were interviewed by ABC News about their experience of coming together as a family.
Now Mashonda and Alicia Are Close
And they honestly had some really touching things to say about each other. Alicia started the interview by stating that they loved each other. They’d hang out with each other, they’d go to dinner together and they’d celebrate the holidays together too.
She described their family as one big, beautiful family, and she said that what they had together was a beautiful partnership. Mashonda chimed in to admit that they hadn’t gotten there without some challenges on the way though. Swizz also confessed that things had started off with a little bit of miscommunication and negativity.
Which was something that ended up negatively affecting his and Mashonda’s son Kasseem Jr. Apparently, he couldn’t understand why he wasn’t allowed to see his dad and mom together at the same time, or why his dad wasn’t allowed to come over and see his bedroom.
Mashonda then recognized that what her son was going through, was something she’d been through herself in her own childhood.
She shared that she lived through a messy divorce with her parents, and as a child, she remembered the negative energy and the feeling of not having security in her own home, which was something she didn’t want for her son. The trio admitted that it took a lot of work to get to the point that they’d gotten to.
So they could see how some people would struggle to understand how they could suddenly all be good friends. But Mashonda explained that there was a whole middle part that people didn’t see, and that was where they all put the work in on themselves individually and healed.
It Took Years of Healing to Blend Families
They healed their children, they gave them an opportunity to see them growing, and that was the real blend. She added that the healing was the first step to blending.
It wasn’t until Kasseem Jr.’s sixth birthday that Alicia and Mashonda really hung out properly and bonded for the first time. But apparently Kaseem Jr. wouldn’t call Alicia his stepmom. The women agreed that it just wasn’t the right word.
Alicia came up with the word Umi instead, so she became Kasseem Jr. ‘s Umi. Mashonda and Swizz admitted that they’d even started to call her that too.
In 2018, Alicia released a song titled Blended Family featuring A$AP Rocky which was all about their experiences.
The music video showed their life together, and they all starred in it- Kasseem Jr., his brothers, Alicia, Mashonda and Swizz.I think it’s really helpful to hear the backstory of how they got to the unified point that they seem to be at now.
Because looking back at how things started off between the three of them, it’s hard to imagine that they’d ever be this close, which is something that some people still struggle to understand these days.
According to Madame Noire, when Swizz shared a photo on Instagram of Alicia and Mashonda together at a concert Alicia had in 2022, the comments section kind of blew up with some opinionated messages.
One person wrote-“I’mma NEVER BE THIS MATURE… and I don’t want to be… I wish y’all well… But I don’t have to be there”
Another online user shared a similar perspective and said-“She’s better than me… all I’mma say!”
Mashonda Opened Up About Swizz Beats’ Affair with Alicia
Like Mashonda said in her interview with ABC News, a lot of people didn’t see the middle part, and I guess they just haven’t forgotten how hurt she seemed to be at the beginning of it all.
In a 2010 interview with VIBE, she really opened up about the pain she went through when she first found out about Alicia.
She claimed that her ex-husband admitted to having an affair on Mothers Day in 2008, six months after she’d already found out about it.
She said that she didn’t sleep for a whole year, she had to take pills to sleep because she’d wake up in the middle of the night crying.
Apparently, she couldn’t even look at her son some days because she didn’t have the strength and she never wanted him to feel her bad energy.
Around the time of the interview, Alicia and Swizz were just going public, but Moshanda claimed that their relationship had already been going on for a very long time. At that point, she and Alicia hadn’t ever spoken about the situation.
What Did Swizz Have to Say?
She told the outlet that she wished they could have done things differently. She said she was begging for her to just talk to her, woman to woman. Swizz Beatz reflected on how far things had come since those days during an episode of TV One’s Uncensored.
Madame Noire reported that in his interview, he said that everybody wanted to throw a party when they thought his ex and Alicia wanted to harm each other and that people wanted to be negative.
He explained that they had kids involved though, so they had to take time out and then go back to the word “communicate.”
He added that everybody had their right to react. Everybody had the right to their emotions and everybody had the right to figure out how to move forward as adults and as parents.And it sounds like they were all able to do that in the end.
So, let’s hope that they can keep co-parenting in harmony and that they’ll always remain a blended family.
