The Tragedy of Ashley Salazar’s Adoption

May 22, 2024

Ashley Salazar’s story was one of the most tragic on 16 and Pregnant. Ashley was young and naive, and it seemed like she might’ve been taken advantage of by her own family.

It all started when she decided to put her baby up for adoption. At first, it seemed like she was going to go through an adoption agency.

This would’ve most likely been the best way to go about it. It would’ve been organized by a third party, and Ashley would’ve had support through this difficult process. But in the end, Ashley decided not to go through an agency.

She found out that her aunt and uncle were interested in adopting her baby, so she decided to handle this privately with them. But the issue was that as a result, she didn’t get any counseling or support from professionals.

Ashley Was Blindsided by What Happened

A couple of years ago, someone on Reddit described the entire story. They pointed out that Ashley was basically left to fend for herself in all this.

Her family didn’t really help her through the process. Even her own mom wasn’t there for her as much as she probably should’ve been.

When it came down to it, Ashley seemingly didn’t have a clue what was happening. She didn’t have an adoption contract or anything like that ready.

When a social worker pointed out that these things should’ve been explained to Ashley by an adoption counselor, her mom basically dismissed all of her concerns. She said that they didn’t go through an agency because the baby was going to their family members.

This just doesn’t seem like a very good excuse. Adoption agencies do a lot of different things for the people involved.

It’s obvious that Ashley needed help. She wanted her daughter to have a good life and was willing to let her go to achieve that.

Giving up a baby like this isn’t easy. It can take a huge emotional toll on the mother.

At least with an adoption agency, Ashley would’ve understood what was going on and what was about to happen. She would’ve known what to expect and what she needed to prepare for.

She would’ve had a professional explain everything to her. This most likely would’ve made the process so much easier on Ashley.

Instead, she was blindsided by everything that was happening. No one was there to support her.

Ashley Considered Taking Callie Back

Some people on Reddit pointed out that there might’ve been a reason why Ashley’s family chose not to use an adoption agency to make the process easier on everyone. It’s actually pretty simple.

Obviously, using an agency would’ve cost them a lot of money. It’s possible that Ashley’s aunt and uncle just didn’t have that money.

They would’ve probably had to pay thousands of dollars if not tens of thousands. So, by not going through an agency, they were most likely able to save a lot of money.

On the one hand, this is perfectly understandable. Even if they did have the money, they might’ve felt like it would be better spent on their daughter.

On the other hand, it’s clear that no one was looking out for Ashley. They should’ve at least gotten her a counselor or something like that. Instead, she was kept in the dark about most of what was going to happen, which is probably one of the biggest reasons why the whole experience was so difficult for her.

After her daughter, Callie, was born, Ashley even considered taking her decision back and keeping her. She was really miserable.

To their credit, her aunt and uncle saw that and decided to help her. They let her have Callie for a trial period.

Ashley kept her daughter for about a month. But in the end, she decided to give her back to her aunt and uncle.

People on Reddit said that this was probably the best choice for Callie. It must’ve still been heartbreaking for Ashley.

Ashley Wasn’t Sure She Made the Right Choice

She’s actually since talked about the entire adoption process. From everything she’s said, it’s obvious that the whole thing was incredibly painful for her.

One year after the adoption went through, she did an interview with Radar Online. When asked about the decision, she admitted that she wasn’t fully convinced that she made the right choice.

Ashley said: “I honestly don’t think that I will ever be 100 percent confident in my decision. I suffer every day for it.”

She said that she still had days when she felt really down about the adoption. She said that she was depressed, confused, and unsure. The only thing that gave her some relief from these feelings was the knowledge that her daughter was safe.

Ashley knew that Callie was well taken care of. She had everything she could ever need and want, and this made it slightly easier on her.

But at the same time, it was clear that Ashley still wasn’t completely on board with it all. When she was asked how she thought her life would be different had she not gone through with the adoption, she said something truly heartbreaking.

Ashley said: “I think I might have been a tad bit happier.” She admitted that keeping her daughter would’ve probably made her feel better.

Keeping Callie Would Have Come at a High Cost

It really sounds like she had some regrets about what happened with Callie. Ashley also said that she knew that keeping her wouldn’t have been easy.

She said that the stress would’ve probably canceled out some of the happiness of having her daughter with her. She admitted that when she heard about all the things that her aunt and uncle had to do for Callie, she felt a little relieved.

Ashley claimed that she was sure that she and Callie would’ve been just fine and happy together. This probably would’ve come at a high cost.

She would have to work all the time. Because of that, she would most likely never be around.

Ashley’s comments made a lot of sense. Taking care of a baby is not an easy task. It’s also very expensive.

But it’s clear that a part of Ashley still wishes that things were different. In December 2019, she opened up about this topic yet again on her Instagram.

It had just recently been Callie’s birthday, and Ashley reflected on everything that had happened. She wrote, in part: “I am still sometimes unsure as to why things work out the way they do, but underneath it all, I will forever be so eternally grateful for this beautiful girl alive and well in this insane world.”

Callie Has a Brother Now

The good part of Ashley’s story is that she still gets to be involved in Callie’s life. What’s more, she also has another child now.

In January 2017, Ashley gave birth to her son, Phoenix. She actually had him with Callie’s dad, Justin Lane.

The two got back together for some time. But by 2020, they’d broken up again.

This doesn’t mean that Ashley is alone, though. She obviously has her son.

Ashley also seems to be in a new relationship. She has a new boyfriend, who she sometimes posts about on her Instagram.

Overall, it seems like Ashley is doing a lot better these days. Despite everything that happened, she was able to find happiness again eventually. But her story is still devastating.

A lot of people have come to the conclusion that Ashley’s family should’ve done more to help her back when she was a pregnant teen. They should’ve been there for her more than they actually were.

It’s clear that she’s still torn up about what happened back then to this day. She said that she wasn’t sure if she’d ever be able to be 100% confident in her decision. Hopefully, she’s not too hard on herself, though.

It’s clear that she did what she thought was in Callie’s best interest. She put her daughter first, and that’s really admirable. It’s just a shame that no one tried to make the process easier on her.

Snoop Dogg’s Wife Speaks Out on Cheating

May 21, 2024

Snoop Dogg’s fans have reason to believe that he’s in trouble with his wife after a cryptic tweet sparked rumors of a cheating scandal.

The Atlanta Black Star reported a couple of weeks ago that Shante Broadus, Snoop’s wife, shared a post that had everyone raising their eyebrows.

Shante has been known online for her weekly Boss Lady approved posts, but one in particular caught a lot of attention in late April.

Snoop Dogg’s Wife’s, Shante, Cryptic Tweet

In that post, Shante wrote, “They never cheat with prettier, they cheat with easier.”

Obviously, with a message like that, it wasn’t long before the post blew up, quickly amassing over 20,000 likes and a broad spectrum of reactions.

Commenters argued underneath the post for days about the possible meaning behind Shante’s words.

Many fans came to the conclusion that she was talking about problems in her own relationship.

If this is indeed the case, it wouldn’t be the first time Snoop has attracted this type of speculation.

Snoop Dogg’s Alleged Relationship With Social Media Mogul

Throughout the years, he has been rumored to have repeatedly cheated on his wife with a number of women.

One commenter under the bombshell post wrote, “Anytime she talks about this topic I think what did Snoop do now.”

Another suggested that Snoop “must have gotten caught again.”

And a third person suggested that Shante “must have heard that Celina Powell interview.”

This was a reference to a shocking podcast interview from a few years ago with controversial social media mogul Celina Powell, famous for her alleged relationships with several famous men, including rappers.

In 2019, she claimed to have gotten into an entanglement with Snoop.

She claimed to have texted Snoop out of the blue one day only for him to fly her out to meet him.

Shante Wrote, ‘Where Did We Go Wrong’

Following Celina’s allegations, Shante once again took to social media with an emotional response.

She posted on Instagram and asked people if they’ve ever seen someone they love turn into someone they don’t know.

In the caption, she left no one in doubt about what she was talking about, writing, “Where did we go wrong.”

After both posts, many fans rushed to the comments section to offer their support and sympathy to Shante.

However, not everyone felt this way.

Snoop Dogg’s Infidelity Issues

Some questioned how Shante could be surprised at Snoop’s alleged behavior after so many reported incidents of his infidelity.

One wrote, “Uhm but he’s been cheating since high school.”

It’s definitely true that the couple have been together since their school years.

And there is evidence of at least one incidence of Snoop being unfaithful to Shante.

In 1998, at the peak of his fame, Snoop had a son named Julian Broadus with someone who wasn’t his wife.

Although Shante seems to have welcomed Julian into their family, the heartache of Snoop’s betrayal can only have been brought back to her after more recent rumors resurfaced.

Shante’s Cheating Allegations

However, earlier this year, for the first time, it was actually Shante who faced cheating allegations.

And the source of the accusations was pretty shocking.

Convicted felon and former record exec Suge Knight accused Shante of cheating on her husband with a mysterious man.

To back up his claim, he shared an old photo of Shante on a trip to Hawaii.

In the photo, Shante could be seen smiling while standing really close to the unknown man, with her head even resting on his shoulder.

Suge Knight Calls Out Snoop Dogg and His Wife

In his tweet, Suge addressed Snoop, writing, “You pray for me Snoop Dogg!!! Okay I’ll pray your wife stop going to Hawaii with other men!!!!”

Shante has not to date addressed Suge’s tweet or the picture.

Although there is now plenty of scandal on both sides of Snoop and Shante’s marriage, they have often been portrayed as having built a stable and loving family around them.

Snoop Dogg’s Daughter’s, Cori, Health Scare

But earlier this year, a much more serious incident than cheating rumors shook their family to the core.

Their daughter Cori suffered a horrible health scare.

It was reported that she experienced a “severe stroke” and had to be hospitalized for several days.

People reported on Cori’s reaction as she left the hospital to return home.

She wrote on her Instagram Stories: “I can prolly cry”, before thanking everyone who had offered her their “continuous prayers, love etc.”

She had previously revealed the scary news in a post on her Instagram Stories.

She wrote that she had a very serious stroke in the morning hours.

She apparently took the news really hard and cried after she found out.

Snoop Dogg’s Response to Daughter’s Stroke

Later that month, Snoop told People that his daughter was “doing a little bit better” after her stay in hospital.

He shared this update in a conversation with People a week after the terrible incident took place, during the premiere of his comedy movie The Underdoggs in Los Angeles.

Snoop was then asked if what happened to Cori gave him a new perspective on life.

And he said: “Yeah, yeah. Something like that.”

Snoop’s Daughter, Cori, Speaks Out About Health Update

On January 22, Cori herself talked about how she was doing.

The 24-year-old shared a picture of herself giving a thumbs up.

In the caption, she wrote that God was working overtime to help her.

She said that her kidneys hadn’t exactly been doing great, but she just got the news that they were improving.

The next day, she wrote about having to go through so much just like everyone else.

She added that this is why she is so open about her life – because she knows that she feels alone.

But she also knows that we are never alone because someone somewhere is always going through the same thing.

These posts came shortly before she was discharged from the hospital.

Cori Broadus’ Lupus Journey

But Cori had learned to deal with her health issues long before her most recent incident.

Her challenges were first discovered at a young age, after she was diagnosed with lupus at the age of six.

The autoimmune disease means that Cori’s immune system might mistake healthy parts of her body for threats like bacteria and viruses.

Last year, Cori talked about her experience with lupus in an interview with People.

She revealed at the time that she was better than she’d ever been and had stopped taking her medication about five months ago.

Instead, she had decided to take an all-natural approach.

She said that she was taking different herbs, drinking teas, and she even mentioned sea moss.

She also apparently started working out and drinking more water.

Cori claimed that her body had responded well to her change in lifestyle.

However, she also noted in the interview that there was more that she could be doing for her wellbeing.

She mentioned that she was still “eating terribly” and “not getting the proper rest”.

Cori mused that: “If I can do a whole 360 change and just get healthy all around, U think I would be so good.”

But concluded that it was a day-by-day process, and it was going to take time.

She said that she knows it’s not going to happen overnight.

Hopefully, Cori is able to get where she needs to.

Her health should be her priority.

With her daughter on the road to recovery, Shante probably doesn’t need to hear any more rumors about the strength of her marriage.

Keyshia Cole’s New Younger Man

May 21, 2024

Last month, Keyshia Cole confirmed that she’s in a relationship with Hunxho.

Speculation was swirling that the couple were dating for weeks after they were snapped walking hand in hand in Atlanta.

It didn’t take long for some online commenters to voice their concerns about the couple.

Criticism About Keyshia Cole’s New Man’s Age Difference

Much of the criticism was related to Keyshia obviously having a thing for younger men, with Hunxho being almost twenty years younger than the 42 year old.

This isn’t the first time Keyshia’s displayed her preference for younger boyfriends.

She has a child with Niko Khale, who is a whole fourteen years her junior.

Keyshia Shut Down Critics

However, when Keyshia confirmed the relationship on Twitter, she also took the opportunity to shut down the critics.

She tagged Hunxho’s page in a message that read “mine.”

After her post, she responded to some who were disappointed with the news, jokingly asking, “please don’t beat me up.”

However, her sense of humor about the negative remarks couldn’t last forever.

She had to block some of her followers who questioned the authenticity of the relationship.

Keyshia Cole’s New Man’s Ex Throws Shade at Keyshia

Hunxho also received criticism for what was seen by some as a less than loving response to her initial tweet.

A few days later, Keyshia had to put out more fires as the online hate continued to pour in.

Hunxho’s ex, fellow rapper Gloss Up, also chimed in by uploading steamy photos of her and Keyshia’s man getting handsy in a kitchen.

In the caption of the since-deleted post, she wrote, “You know what it is in real life,” seemingly confirming the theory that Hunxho and Keyshia’s relationship was a PR stunt.

It was alleged that Keyshia deactivated her account after the images emerged.

However, Keyshia was soon back online to respond.

She claimed that Hunxho was no more than Gloss Up’s “sneaky link.”

She went on to write, “The way people wanna see the next unhappy and miserable is forever crazy to me.”

Keyshia’s Ex Got Involved With Social Media Beef

Things got even more complicated after Keyshia’s ex Antonio Brown started throwing himself into the situation.

The former footballer posted Keyshia’s name followed by a purple devil and a heart-hands emoji, seeming to suggest he’d once again taken up an interest in her.

Keyshia replied in the comments, writing, “This just gone be a messy… day!”

She went on to joke that she wished she had an album to sell given all the attention she and her relationship were getting.

However, there have been times when attention was the last thing Keyshia needed.

Why Keyshia and Daniel Got Divorced

When she split from former husband, NBA player Daniel Gibson, it often seemed like there was nowhere for her to hide.

For a while, Keyshia and Daniel looked like they were going to be the next celebrity power couple.

Their whirlwind romance was all over the news and even led to TV shows about their relationship.

Which was why so many of us were shocked when their marriage was suddenly over.

So, what really went wrong?

The truth about their split is actually really sad.

Apparently, rumors of cheating were thought to be a major factor in Keyshia’s decision to leave Daniel.

Daniel Gibson Said He Takes ‘Full Responsibility’

In a 2014 interview with Rolling Out, Daniel strongly denied the rumors.

But he then went on to say that he took “full responsibility” for everything that didn’t go right in the marriage.

Which was a pretty cryptic way to talk about what happened between him and Keyshia.

He went on to say that while he didn’t really cheat, he did “cheat” his wife out of a friend in a lot of situations and didn’t hold her down like he was supposed to.

In fact, he said that he probably made every mistake he could as a husband.

Although he continued to deny cheating on Keyshia, he admitted that he had gone to an exotic club and taken pictures with a dancer.

A lot of people thought the story was kind of all over the place.

But it took another three years for Keyshia to finally lose patience with him.

She filed for divorce in 2017, citing irreconcilable differences.

The news outlet obtained court documents related to the former couple’s settlement.

Keyshia Cole and Daniel Gibson’s Custody Battle

They eventually came to an agreement that covered how they would divide their property, as well as custody matters about their child.

Keyshia had requested joint legal custody of their son, Daniel Gibson Jr.

The fact that Keyshia was looking for joint custody made it look like she wanted things to go as smoothly as possible for everyone involved.

However, according to Hot97, the process was actually made much more difficult thanks to Daniel Sr.

The divorce proceedings ended up taking a crazy three years to finalize.

This was allegedly because Daniel Sr. had been doing everything he could to drag the process out and delay everything.

In fact, things were going so slowly that even the judge got sick of it.

The judge issued an official fourth and final notice, according to the court documents, and threatened to fine Daniel Sr. if he kept delaying the case.

Soon after this, Keyshia and Daniel Sr. were finally divorced.

How Keyshia is Coping Since Divorce

In a post on Instagram, Keyshia opened up about how she had been coping since the breakup.

And what she shared was actually pretty surprising.

She announced on her page that she and Daniel had officially divorced at last.

But the way she announced it was a little unusual.

She shared a picture of herself with a big smile, with the caption telling us just how “happy” she was that her divorce was final.

She was quick to state that it was “not a shade post.”

Instead, it was just a genuinely happy post, now that a weight had been lifted from over both of their heads.

She ended her post by hinting that she would be having a party in Malibu to celebrate the end of her marriage.

It definitely looked like she was not taking her divorce in the normal way.

But there wasn’t a lot about her relationship with Daniel that had been all that normal.

And this was even true after they called time on their marriage.

Why Keyshia and Daniel Lived Together After Split

In 2017, Keyshia and Daniel joined the fourth season of VH1’s Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood series.

Although they joined the show as a couple, they ended up splitting while on the show, which must have made things even more difficult for both of them.

After making the decision to end things, Daniel and Keyshia continued to live together with their son.

Part of the reason for this was down to the fact that they were still on the show together.

But there were other reasons why they kept living together that were more serious.

At the time, Daniel was suffering from problems with his mental health.

At this point, he had stepped away from his successful basketball career and was trying to find work in the music industry.

So, Keyshia had no problem letting her ex-husband stay while he dealt with his problems.

And according to Daniel, there was also another reason.

He said that he wanted Love & Hip Hop viewers to see what the co-parenting style between him and Keyshia looked like.

He said that he was excited for the world to see how he and Keyshia raised their son after breaking up.

Daniel thought that there was this idea that relationships between separated parents were always “toxic and tough”.

And he wanted to show that he and Keyshia were at a point where they were able to co-parent really well.

It seemed like a pretty happy ending to what had been a turbulent relationship.

But after everything Keyshia went through, it’s no wonder she now just wants to keep things light with a younger guy.

The Downfall of Maci Bookout

May 21, 2024

Maci Bookout was always something of a “golden child” on Teen Mom. On the surface, it always seemed like she was one of the best moms on the show. She had the perfect little family, the perfect marriage, and a seemingly normal life.

But now, it seems like things might be taking a turn for Maci. For one, she and her husband might not be as happy together as we once thought they were.

RELATED: Maci Speaks Out About Ryan

Maci married Taylor McKinney in October 2016. The two of them started dating four years before that, in 2012. They were together for about 3 years before they welcomed their first child together, Jayde Carter, in May 2015.

After that, they had another baby together. Their son Maverick Reed was born just a year later, in May 2016.

The couple got married a couple of months after that, and everything seemed perfect. But not too long ago, Maci admitted that they’ve been having some problems.

Maci and Taylor Struggle with Communication Issues

Last year, the couple went to Colombia to film for season 3 of MTV’s Teen Mom: Family Reunion. The show started airing earlier this year, in March. What’s interesting is that the trip didn’t exactly meet Maci and Taylor’s expectations.

In April 2024, Maci talked to E! News about what filming in Colombia was like for them. She said that walking into it, she thought that it would just be a really fun holiday for her and Taylor, where they would get to relax away from the kids.

Maci was looking forward to hanging out with their friends and overall just having a good time. She thought that the show was really just a big excuse for a vacation.

So, she was quite surprised when she got there, and things were very different. She admitted: “I’m not sure we were expecting all of the work we were going to have to do when we got there.”

Maci and Taylor soon realized that this wasn’t just going to be a fun, relaxing trip for the two of them. They were confronted with some of their relationship issues. But luckily, they were also helped along the way.

Maci admitted that one of the things they really struggled with was communication. She said that this had been their biggest issue for a long time.

Then, she added: “And honestly, it still is. I feel like we’re still working on what a healthy communication routine looks like.”

She said that there’s a chance that this may never change, and admitted that both she and Taylor are competitive and stubborn people. So, they might never figure out how to communicate without any issues.

Maci Posted a Cryptic Message on Instagram

The main thing is that they’re willing to work on their marriage regardless. They’re not giving up, and Maci considers that a win.

It also seems like their trip to Colombia helped them with some other things in their relationship. Maci said that this was the first time in a long while that they got to spend so much time with each other one-on-one.

She said that the trip felt like a reset button for them. She realized that she really liked spending time with Taylor. It made their relationship stronger.

Does that mean that their relationship is perfect now? Not exactly. As Maci said, they haven’t really resolved all of their communication issues just yet.

In February 2024, which was months after the couple filmed in Colombia, Maci posted something cryptic on her social media. Some people online thought that she was suggesting that there was trouble in paradise for her and Taylor.

Maci took to her Instagram Stories that month, and she shared a very pointed message.

It said: “Someone once said if you love your children, don’t break their mother. Their mother is their primary source of strength & emotional support. I feel like some of y’all need to see this.”

The screenshot of this post was later shared on Reddit. People wondered if this meant Maci and Taylor were having marital problems.

They assumed that the message was aimed at Taylor, and wondered what he could’ve done that Maci felt had broken her. But not everyone was convinced that this post was actually about Maci’s husband. Rather, some people thought that it might’ve been about her ex.

Ryan and Maci Had a Tumultuous Relationship

Maci was once engaged to the father of her first child, Ryan Edwards. Ryan and Maci had their son named Bently together in 2008.

They got engaged a year later, in 2009. But in 2010, they decided to go their separate ways.

They had a very tumultuous and difficult relationship together. Later, Maci would even file for a protection order against him.

It’s safe to say that these two have been through a lot. This is why some people are convinced that Maci’s post was actually about Ryan and not Taylor. The two of them have always had issues, so it would make a lot of sense.

But one user explained why they thought that the post wasn’t about Taylor in a different way. They wrote: “Maci always seems very apathetic toward Taylor, so I can’t imagine her feeling as if he’s ‘broken’ her.”

It doesn’t seem like Maci’s followers have a lot of faith in her marriage to Taylor, which makes a lot of sense. One thing that people just can’t seem to be able to forget is that Maci admitted that she and Taylor fought when they drank adult beverages.

They’ve clearly had their issues, too – things that go beyond simple “communications problems.” Some people are also worried about Maci’s relationship with drinking. Not just because it can cause drama between her and Taylor, but because she seems to be a big drinker in general.

Maci Has a Habit of Day Drinking

One of the things she did that people thought was especially strange was when she included drinks in her engagement photoshoot. She and Taylor went for a “retro glam” look. But, in one of the photos, they also decided to feature bottles of Bud Light.

This seemed like an odd choice to make. What did the drink have to do with their engagement?

People on Reddit have also pointed out that Maci seems to be in the habit of day drinking. For example, in one scene, she was on the phone with her friend.

She was relaxing outside as she told this friend that she’d just dropped off her kids at daycare. This means that it was still pretty early in the day.

Most likely, it was still morning. But Maci was already drinking from a can of a certain adult beverage.

It’s not even like she just drank the one can. There were three more empty cans right next to her as well. So it seemed like she was on her fourth drink, even though it was still early in the morning.

Maci Has Shown Signs of Addiction

Some people also suspect that Maci was drinking while she was pregnant with her third child. She announced her pregnancy just six weeks after she shared a photo of herself with an adult beverage. This obviously raised a ton of red flags.

Some Teen Mom fans also believe that they’ve noticed a change in behavior in Maci. In the earlier seasons of the show, she seemed to be kind of on top of things. But later on, it started to look like she was slipping.

One theory is that it became harder for her to hide that she had a drinking problem. Maci was accused of slurring her words and having glossy eyes in some scenes.

These are obviously signs of a potential addiction. That being said, we don’t know for sure if Maci is struggling with drinking or not. It’s definitely a possibility, but as of right now, nothing has been confirmed.

This also goes for her alleged marriage troubles. While it’s possible that she and Taylor might be having issues, as far as we know, they’re still going strong.

Maci admitted that they’re not always the perfect couple. But at the end of the day, they are willing to put the work in. If this continues, they might just spend many more years being happily married.

Usher’s Ex-Wife Tameka Foster Speaks Out on New Wife

May 21, 2024

A couple of months ago, Usher shocked us all when he spontaneously decided to tie the knot with his partner Jennifer Goicoechea. One person who might have been particularly surprised was his former wife, Tameka Foster. But what she told TMZ about her thoughts on the marriage might be more surprising still.

The new couple had an impromptu in Las Vegas in February after Usher’s showstopping Super Bowl performance. TMZ Hip Hop quickly found Tameka to ask for her take on the event. What she said may come as a shock.

Tameka was being interviewed ahead of the launch of her new reality TV series Bold and Bougie. But after what had happened, it was obvious she would be asked about Usher and Jennifer’s surprise nuptials.

However, it seemed like the news was not information Tameka had heard about. She told TMZ, “I thought he been married” while reportedly shaking her head. She went on to say, “I don’t know – I stopped keeping up with that type of thing.”

The interviewer responded by agreeing that it was unusual for people to keep up to date about their ex’s love life but went on to say that after the news of the wedding broke, Tameka’s name was repeatedly brought up on social media.

When asked why, Tameka could only say, “I don’t know. It seemed like she wasn’t even sure how many marriages her ex actually had. She said, “Like that’s his like second, third… I don’t know.”

Tameka and Usher Have a Good Relationship Now

Although she didn’t seem to have any interest in his new marriage, Tameka made sure to say only positive things about Usher in response to the questions. She told the interviewer, “He’s a good dad. That’s what I care about.”

She also praised his performance at the Super Bowl, saying, “And he’s a dope performer ‘cause did y’all see the halftime show?”

RELATED: Usher’s New Marriage Details

A short time later Tameka doubled down on her praise for her ex in an interview with People Magazine. Once again she focused not so much on their old relationship but on how great Usher had been as a co-parent to their children.

Tameka said that “everything is great” between her and Usher when it comes to their kids. She went on to say, “We’re friends and the kids are at an age now where they can kind of say where they want to be as far as, ‘Hey I want to be at Dad’s. I want to go to Mom’s.’”

She went on to explain that the former couple had “a very open door policy” about their two sons, which meant that they “let ‘em go where they want to go.” So far, Tameka said, it was all going “pretty smoothly.”

Usher and Tameka Had a Nasty Custody Battle

While it’s great to hear how easy they both found co-parenting these days, anyone who followed the story of their divorce knows things weren’t always smooth sailing. During their custody battle, some shocking allegations were made about Usher’s ability to be a good father to their sons.

Tameka alleged that Usher had a history of using all kinds of illegal substances during their marriage and that it had a serious impact on their family life. During proceedings, Usher did not deny his substance use, but he said that it was all in the past. He also stressed that he never used anything in front of his and Tameka’s kids.

RELATED: Usher Gets Married

Tameka doubled down on her belief that Usher was an unfit parent. She hinted heavily that Usher would usually prefer to be out partying than taking on his responsibilities as a father.

During his deposition, Usher couldn’t control his feelings. He showed how much his custody battle was affecting him, not only professionally, but also emotionally.

Usher finally addressed the public’s interest in his messy divorce battle in an interview with Oprah. He talked about how betrayed he felt by how harshly Tameka was treating him as a father.

Tameka Took Usher Back to Court

It looked like their long and brutal custody battle was finally over in 2012 when Usher was awarded primary custody of the boys. However, less than a year later, a horrific incident brought Usher’s ability to take care of them back into question.

Tameka sought legal action after the ex-couple’s older son got caught in a pool drain while in the care of Usher’s aunt. Tameka wanted to get temporary primary care of the kids, alleging that they were in a dangerous environment.

Usher’s aunt, Rena Oden, was looking after the boys on the day of the accident. Usher’s son fell to the bottom of the pool and became stuck in the drain.

The court heard that a housekeeper tried unsuccessfully to free him. Then, a contractor working on the house pulled him free and performed CPR.

Although emergency medical workers later arrived, the child was conscious and alert by that time. However, he was still taken to the hospital for assessment.

The next day, Tameka filed for custody, citing the accident as proof of a lack of supervision. During the proceedings, it was Tameka’s turn to break down in the stand.

However, Usher’s lawyer claimed that Tameka had different motivations for going to court. What he said was pretty brutal.

The lawyer claimed that rather than being grateful that her child was alive, Tameka was using the episode to revisit the custody battle and gain publicity, which seemed pretty unfair, considering what happened. It was understandable that Tameka was worried about her kids’ safety after such a scary moment.

Tameka Failed to Get Primary Custody

Tameka claimed that Usher never communicated with her about anything to do with the kids. He would allegedly not tell her where he or the kids were at any time, or who was looking after them.

She went on to say that because of Usher’s frequent traveling, he used caregivers, like his aunt, who Tameka felt weren’t qualified for the job. However, Usher told a different story. He stated that he sent Tameka a weekly email detailing the children’s plans for the upcoming week and that she could contact the children or the people looking after them at any time.

Tameka’s lawyer then attacked Usher for failing to tell her about the accident until 45 minutes after it happened. Usher said that he wanted to get information about how serious it was before calling her.

In the end, Tameka failed to get primary custody. The judge in charge of the case said that what happened was an awful accident. But, he wasn’t certain that anyone could really have done anything to prevent it.

However, the judge also advised Usher to make sure he was keeping Tameka informed of his whereabouts. When the verdict was announced, Tameka broke down in tears again. Everyone was shocked at what happened next.

Usher immediately went over to his ex-wife to give her a hug. Maybe this was the first step they took towards healing their broken relationship for the sake of their kid. If so, it seems to have paid off, with the former partners now only seeming to want good things for each other.

What Happened to Dog The Bounty Hunter’s Son, Duane?

May 21, 2024

Dog the Bounty Hunter’s son Duane Lee Chapman Jr left his father’s show behind over ten years ago. Since exiting the show in 2012, Duane Jr has kept a low profile compared to the rest of his family. His time on the reality show will probably be best remembered for the shocking manner of his departure.

For years, Duane Jr was an integral part of his dad’s team at Da Kine Bail Bonds, alongside his brother Leland and stepmother Beth Chapman. But a fiery clash with his stepmom over money eventually led to him deciding to walk away.

Duane Lee was born on January 21, 1973, to Duane Chapman and his first wife, La Fonda Sue Darnall. Growing up with bounty hunting as the family business, it was natural for Duane Lee to follow in his father’s footsteps.

He, alongside his siblings, was introduced to this line of work from a young age. This early exposure played a significant role in shaping his career and his participation in the family’s reality TV show.

In 2004, A&E launched “Dog the Bounty Hunter.” It was a reality TV show that followed the day-to-day operations of Dog Chapman and his family as they tracked down and captured fugitives.

Duane Lee was prominently featured on the show. His skills as a bounty hunter and his interactions with his father and siblings were a central theme.

His involvement in the show helped establish him as a popular figure among fans. He was admired for his professionalism and the compassionate approach he often displayed toward those they apprehended.

Duane Pursued a Quiet Life

Despite the initial success and family unity shown on “Dog the Bounty Hunter,” underlying tensions began to surface. Conflicts within the family, particularly involving Duane Lee, his brother Leland, and their stepmother, Beth Chapman, eventually led to Duane Lee and Leland leaving the series in 2012.

Reports suggest that the disputes were over work conditions, contracts, and the direction of the business. At the end of the A&E show’s last season, Duane Jr claimed that he had been underpaid by Beth and overworked by his dad.

After turning his back on the show and the family business, Duane has never returned to reality TV. He moved away from Hawaii, where the family was based during much of their TV career, and relocated to Florida.

In Florida, he pursued a quieter life, away from bounty hunting and reality TV. Little has been publicly shared about his specific activities post-show. However, it is known that he has stayed out of the public eye, preferring a more private life.

According to the US Sun, he reportedly moved to Florida to start his own bail bondsman business. However, some suggest that he has steered his career in an entirely different direction, working as a financial advisor.

As far as we know, Duane Jr’s relationship with the rest of his family still seems to be pretty tense. Reports have suggested that after the tragic passing of Beth, Dog’s eldest son was not in attendance at her funeral.

Fans Spotted Duane’s Absence at Beth’s Funeral

Beth passed away at the age of 51 in 2019 after a battle with throat cancer. In 2020, the family held a memorial for Beth, which Dog’s son Leland shared pictures of on social media.

In the caption to his post, Leland wrote, “I still can’t believe she’s gone. She would have been thrilled to see this. Family, friends, fans all coming together to honor her legacy.”

He went on to thank everyone for sending their prayers to the Chapman family during that difficult time. However, fans soon noticed one conspicuous absence from the family photos.

Word spread of Duane Jr’s absence from the memorial. Many fans struggled to believe he would choose to miss such an important occasion for his family.

Some commenters online suggested that the figure of a man kneeling in the photo might have been Duane. However, this was soon shut down by none other than Duane Jr’s own sister, Bonnie, who clarified to fans, “No, he wasn’t.”

Duane Walked Away from the Family Business

While relations with his siblings and dad might still not be great, Duane Jr has built a family of his own. He married his wife, childhood sweetheart Teresa Roybal, in 1999 after 3 years of dating.

They divorced in 2008 for unknown reasons, having not had any children together. Duane Jr does have one son, Dylan Chapman, from a previous relationship.

In the years since Duane Jr walked away from the family business, Dog has continued to face problems in his relationships with his children. His daughter Beth has also been vocal about her issues with Dog, even calling him racist in an online statement.

Duane Jr, meanwhile, has decided to keep quiet about the Chapmans in recent years. Instead, he seems focused on just living a quiet, peaceful life in his new home in Florida.

Information about Duane Lee Chapman Jr.’s romantic life has been relatively private, especially compared to other members of the Chapman family whose personal lives have been more prominently featured in the media. Dog has notoriously been public with his various relationship dramas, especially after the passing of Beth.

One particularly controversial episode involved his brief connection with Moon Angell. She was a longtime friend of Beth and a former assistant of the Chapman family.

Dog’s Children Publicily Criticized Moon

Moon Angell had been a part of the Chapman family’s life for many years, providing support to both Dog and Beth during various professional and personal moments. Her close relationship with the family meant she was a familiar presence. Her support after Beth’s death was seen as a stabilizing factor for Dog during his grieving process.

The relationship between Dog and Moon Angell came to public attention when Dog’s daughter, Lyssa Chapman, expressed her disapproval on social media. Lyssa criticized Moon for moving in on her father shortly after Beth’s death, suggesting that her intentions were not genuine and accusing her of taking advantage of her father’s vulnerable state.

This family dispute spilled over into the public arena, with fans and media outlets quickly picking up on the story. Dog himself addressed the relationship in various interviews, describing Moon Angell as more of a companion and support figure during his intense grief rather than a romantic partner. He emphasized that Moon was someone who helped him cope with the loss of Beth, suggesting that their relationship was platonic and based on friendship and support, rather than a romantic involvement.

Dog Proposed on TV

The relationship reached a peak of public attention when Dog and Moon Angell appeared on “The Dr. Oz Show.” During this appearance, Dog proposed to Moon Angell on camera, asking her to marry him. The proposal shocked viewers and was widely discussed in the media.

However, Moon turned down the proposal on the show. She stated that she did not want to marry Dog and that their relationship was not romantic. This event clarified the nature of their connection to the public and highlighted the complexity of Dog’s emotional state.

Following the rejection of the proposal, the relationship between Dog and Moon Angell quickly dissolved. Public and family pressures, combined with Moon’s disinterest in a romantic relationship, led to the end of their involvement.

Dog later expressed regret about the proposal. He acknowledged that it was a misguided attempt to find some stability during a tumultuous time in his life. Dog then went on to meet Francie Frane, whom he ultimately married, although he said he would never marry again after Beth’s passing.

Hardy Exposes KT Smith

May 21, 2024

Fans agree that when it comes to KT Smith, Morgan Wallen’s ex, he’s better off without her. Several fans got together on Reddit to talk about what Hardy, Morgan’s best friend, said about KT when she visited Morgan while he was on tour.

Morgan and KT had an off-and-on relationship, particularly as it came to an end, but during one of their off-times, KT actually showed up to one of Morgan’s shows while he was on tour. Allegedly, Hardy said that KT and Morgan got very drunk.

It was the most drunk that he had ever seen Morgan before. They allegedly were intimate that night, even though neither of them was likely in the right state of mind to consent.

Two weeks later, KT announced that she was pregnant. Fans have speculated that KT deliberately flew out to meet Morgan to baby-trap him.

They believed that since they weren’t technically together, and there were women eager to date Morgan, she had to take drastic measures to keep him. So, she decided to have a baby with him.

However, Morgan eventually chose to co-parent with her instead of continuing with a relationship with her. While they are still part of each other’s lives, it’s likely not what KT planned.

KT’s Previous Ex Was Sent to a Treatment Center

The fans also talked about how KT allegedly slept with a married pastor. KT has always talked about how her faith is important to her.

Allegedly, she met a pastor who was married, and they had an affair. A Reddit post showed an old Instagram story about KT’s affair with a youth pastor at Cross Point.

The story alleged that KT met a pastor named Drew at a church called Cross Point. KT claimed that he told her he wasn’t married when they first started flirting.

However, the Instagram story also has a picture that KT posted showing herself and Drew. He clearly has a wedding ring on his finger.

She argued that during a trip to Kenya, they were not intimate. However, there were also rumors that KT was pregnant and that she had ended the pregnancy. KT claimed that she didn’t; she had a miscarriage.

At some point, the church found out about the affair between KT and Drew. Drew was sent to a 90-day treatment center for his sins.

He contacted KT before he left to tell her that he didn’t want her to contact him any longer. Apparently, she didn’t let that stop her. KT contacted the treatment center, although no one knows what she asked or talked about with the staff.

Later, after Drew was done with his rehab, he contacted KT. He basically told her never to speak to him again.

Drew regretted what they had done. He had betrayed his wife, church, and everyone who looked up to him. The message Drew allegedly sent to her made it seem like the two had certainly done more than just flirt and kiss each other.

KT Skipped Her Own Bible Study Group

With Drew no longer interested in the affair, KT seemed to need an excuse to leave the church. It was important to the church that the news about the affair did not go public. The story that KT gave was that she chose to leave CrossPoint church because they fired a pastor whose son was gay.

Now, this was another red flag. Allegedly, Drew’s son was a minor.

KT either forced a minor to come out of a closet, if he really was gay, or she lied about his son being gay. Either way, while she kept quiet about the alleged affair, she still made life difficult for Drew’s family while leaving the church.

KT also once ran bible studies. The idea was that people would sign up, and she’d lead the group.

Some of the posters on Reddit said they had actually signed up for her bible study group. They thought it’d be interesting since they knew faith was very important to KT.

When it came time to actually attend the bible study group, KT never showed up. One fan even alleged that KT was out drinking instead of attending bible study.

KT and Luke May Be Growing Their Family Soon

Now, KT has taken to her socials to talk about the new developments in her life.

On Instagram, she posted a series of photos of herself and her new husband, Luke. The photos showed the couple cuddled up in a field.

She captioned the post, saying that it was well-known that she wanted to have more kids. She shared that she was using the Natural Cycles app to help boost her fertility.

While the post was likely sponsored by Natural Cycles, it does suggest that KT and Luke are trying for children of their own. If successful, her son, Indigo, would no longer be an only child.

KT has been a social media influencer for several years, and it was through social media that she first met Morgan. At that time, however, Morgan had yet to become the big country star that he is today.

According to People Magazine, KT had a rough start to childhood because her mom would constantly move them around the country. Her parents divorced when she was young, and then her father died when she was four years old.

KT has an older brother that her mom had from a previous marriage, and they lived with him for a time, too. As KT aged, they still moved between houses and apartments, but KT was able to attend two schools consistently during that period.

KT Accused Morgan of Being Unfaithful

Church was an important part of KT’s life. While she started working in sales, she also became an intern for her church’s social media.

An accident caused her to lose her car, however, so she stopped working in sales and focused her attention solely on social media. A social media management company eventually discovered her and asked if she wanted to work with a few, specific, brands.

KT accepted, and it allowed her to get her name and image out there even more. That’s how she met Morgan.

Their relationship moved fast. They dated each other and even became engaged.

However, the relationship had its problems. As Morgan’s fame grew, things became worse.

He started going on tours, and KT wasn’t always able to join him. She accused him of being unfaithful to her while he was touring.

Part of that, she believed, was because he was so young when his fame started to explode. He had more opportunities open to him than he ever had before. KT wanted to keep their relationship as private as possible, but that wasn’t always practical.

Their Relationship Became Toxic

By the time they had their third anniversary, things between them had gotten really bad. She alleged that he was cheating and the relationship was just becoming more and more toxic.

They decided to break up, but there’d be one more surprise for them. Although they were no longer together, they still sometimes slept together. KT became pregnant, either through design or by accident, and gave birth in 2020.

Morgan had a difficult time when he first learned that KT was pregnant, however. The biggest part he struggled with was that he and KT weren’t together.

His dream had always been to have a family with parents who were married. He said that being a single dad wasn’t how he had imagined his life.

His own parents had been married for several years, and he had wanted something like that. So, he had to come to terms with the fact that he was going to be a single father.

However, after the birth of his son, Morgan said that it changed him. When he announced the birth on Instagram, Morgan said that he was going to be the dad that he deserved. He was also going to be the co-parent that his son’s mother deserved.

Although both Morgan and KT seem to have moved on from each other, some fans are wondering if Morgan is truly over her. After KT announced that she was married to Luke, only a few days later, Morgan was arrested for throwing a chair from a balcony onto a street. Whether the speculation around KT is true or not, most fans agree that Morgan is better off with someone else.

What Happened to Lil Bow Wow

May 20, 2024

Lil Bow Wow has recently opened up about some of the darkest times of his life amid his addiction to lean.

RELATED: Justin Bieber’s Cry For Help

Complex reported in February on Bow Wow’s interview on The Art of the Dialogue.

Bow Wow Said, ‘I Was Sipping So Much Syrup’

He recalled the difficult experience he had with the substance that actually led to him being hospitalized and on the verge of losing everything.

This apparently occurred around the time he was making his Face Off album with Omarion in 2007.

He said of that time, “I was sipping so much syrup.”

He said that he first admitted this after the tragic passing of Mac Miller, and claimed that his addiction was making him lose his mind.

Apparently, Bow Wow’s addiction got so bad that he would drink the substance wherever he went, leading Lil Wayne to eventually give him a “baby bottle” full of lean just to get his fix.

Bow Wow Collapsed After Performance

Eventually, his damaging behavior caught up with him in a scary way.

While on tour with Chris Brown, he collapsed after a performance in Cincinnati.

RELATED: Monica Passes Out At Show

His body shut down, forcing him to miss several dates of the tour.

He said, “I went straight to Cincinnati University Hospital,” and “ended up going back home to Atlanta after the first show.”

Bow Wow Endured Withdrawals

When he returned home, however, things got even worse.

Bow Wow said that he was sick, shivering and sweating in bed from withdrawals.

RELATED: Mama June Sobriety Update

He went on to open up about his former publicist’s plan to keep his addiction a secret, in which his absence from the tour was put down to “dehydration.”

He explained, “We didn’t want the world to know that 18, 19 year old Bow was heavy on the drank.”

Bow Wow’s Rap Career

Bow Wow got used to success a lot earlier in his career than most other rappers.

He first became interested in the genre at the age of 3.

By the time he was 6 years old, he was already rapping under the name Kid Gangsta.

And he actually performed at a concert in Los Angeles at the same age.

He was spotted by Snoop Dogg, who suggested he change his rap name to Lil Bow Wow.

Bow Wow later appeared on Snoop’s debut album on the track Gz and Hustlas.

He also scored his first TV performance on The Arsenio Hall Show.

And considering he did all this when he was still literally a child, it really looked like Bow Wow could have the greatest career in hip hop history.

He released his first album, Beware of Dog, when he was 13.

The album eventually gained double platinum status, with sales of over 2 million copies.

So, where did it all go wrong?

How Bow Wow’s Reputation Was Damaged

Well, since then, Bow Wow has found himself taking more than his fair share of Ls.

He’s actually become a little bit of a joke in the music industry.

And some of his very public humiliations have been pretty bizarre.

In 2010, the rapper was still in his early 20s, despite being in the rap game for over a decade.

However, something pretty hilarious happened that year that did some serious damage to his reputation.

Bow Wow’s Mother Called Him Out on Twitter

Reports flooded the internet when Bow Wow’s mom joined Twitter.

Her frequent tweets soon proved to be pretty embarrassing for Bow Wow.

One of them was actually aimed directly at him, calling him out for not spending enough time with her.

In the tweet, his mom wrote that it was time for Bow Wow to spend some QT with her now.

She went on to say that this was how sons were and that daughters were not like that.

Obviously, a lot of people found her comment extremely funny.

And if it had been an isolated incident, it might not have bothered Bow Wow too much.

However, there was plenty more where that came from.

As well as taking shots at her son, his mom also tweeted some pretty flirtatious sounding posts.

One read that her ex was looking good.

Although she added that it was too bad that she already had a boo.

Bow Wow Issued an Ultimatum to His Mom

This seemed to be a little too much for Bow Wow, who soon announced that he was going to make his mom delete her account.

However, this really backfired.

People made it clear that they were on his mom’s side and did not want her hysterical statements to stop.

But Bow Wow didn’t see the funny side and eventually got so desperate for the jokes to stop that he issued an ultimatum.

He stated that he would delete his own account unless his mom removed hers.

This forced his mom to take aim at him again.

She told Bow Wow over Twitter that he should never try to stop a person from saying inspirational words.

She called him wrong for saying what he’d said and said that she didn’t understand why her being on Twitter made him want to delete his account.

She also asked him to never compare her to other moms.

After appearing to lose a standoff against his own mom, Bow Wow definitely lost a little street cred.

Bow Wow Tries to Stunt in Rented Ferrari

A few years later, the Internet made him the butt of jokes yet again.

While in Los Angeles for the Grammy Awards, he was seen in several photos on social media in the driver’s seat of a Ferrari.

Bow Wow shared posts that seemed to imply that the car belonged to him.

However, he was soon exposed by the rental company that loaned him the car, who posted that their good friend Bow Wow had pulled up to the Grammys in the company’s Ferrari.

Stock Trader Called Out Bow Wow

But this wasn’t the last time Bow Wow got found out while trying to flex his wealth online.

In 2016, he posted a picture of a stack of cash on his Instagram.

While this was pretty normal in the rap world, what was different about Bow Wow’s post was that the photo was not actually his.

The original photographer, a stock trader named Timothy Sykes, called the rapper out for stealing his picture.

Although all of these incidents were kind of humiliating for Bow Wow, they were also pretty harmless.

However, he has also seen his rep damaged for more serious reasons.

Bow Wow Arrested and Charged With Battery

One of the main factors in this has been his public and problematic attitude toward women, which has come out in various social media rants over the years.

All of this got serious in early 2019, when he was arrested in Georgia and charged with battery.

CNN reported that Bow Wow had been taken in following a fight with a woman in midtown Atlanta.

At the time of the arrest, both Bow Wow and the woman had minor injuries, and both claimed the other had started the fight.

Bow Wow was held on an $8,000 signature bond before eventually being released.

It later came out that the woman in question was his ex-girlfriend and Growing Up Hip Hop: Atlanta co-star, Leslie Holden.

Bow Wow’s lawyer stated that the rapper had suffered multiple injuries, while Leslie looked pretty much unharmed.

When news outlets reached out to Growing Up Hip Hop representatives, they received no comment.

Bow Wow’s Acting Career

However, this didn’t appear to affect Bow Wow’s place on the show, which he has been a cast member of since 2017.

Still, his reputation might have been permanently ruined as far as other TV work goes.

Prior to the incident with Leslie, Bow Wow was making waves as an actor as well as a rapper for several years.

He landed roles in big shows like Entourage, Ugly Betty, and CSI: Cyber.

However, records show that he’s since made far fewer TV appearances.

Although his career might not be where it once was, at least Bow Wow seems to have shaken off his crippling addiction issues and has returned to full health.

Rick Harrison’s Heartbreaking Update

May 17, 2024

Rick Harrison of Pawn Stars has experienced many heartbreaking losses over the last several years.

But it’s shocking to learn that he was expecting one tragedy to occur—a loss that no parent should ever have to experience.

Rick’s 39-year-old son, Adam Harrison, had been living at a guesthouse in Las Vegas.

Rick Harrison’s Son, Adam, Found ‘Unresponsive’

In January 2024, another resident informed the landlord that Adam hadn’t been seen in two days.

The landlord investigated, and he made a tragic discovery.

Adam was found “unresponsive” on January 19th, and USA Today reported that he passed away sometime between January 17th and the day he was found due to a “toxicity” of illegal substances later found in his system.

Medical authorities concluded that Adam had accidentally caused this fatal incident.

Initially, Rick’s representative, Laura Herlovich, delivered official statements to the media on behalf of the Harrison family.

Still, Rick made a brief announcement about Adam’s passing on his Instagram account, and his short but emotional message can bring tears to the eyes.

Rick posted a happy photo of him sitting with Adam in an unnamed restaurant.

Rick Said ‘You Will Always Be in My Heart! …’

He simply wrote, “You will always be in my heart! I love you, Adam,” and he included one broken heart emoji.

A few days later, Laura gave an exclusive statement to TMZ, but the message allegedly came from Rick.

He confirmed that Adam passed away because he had been misusing substances.

And he said that the substance crisis “in this country must be taken more seriously. It seems it is just flowing over the borders, and nothing is being done about it. We must do better.”

TMZ initially broke the story about how Adam passed away.

They also reported that the Harrison family told them that they were “extremely saddened,” and they asked for privacy as they grieved the loss.

Adam Harrison and His Brother’s, Corey, Close Relationship

On January 25th, E! News reported personal details about Adam’s life and his relationship with his brother, Corey Harrison.

According to E! News, Adam was given the nickname “Wax” by the Harrison family, although the reason wasn’t provided.

The day before, Rick had shared old family photos of him and Adam on Instagram, including a sweet picture of Rick napping on a couch with young, blonde-haired Adam holding him close as they rested cheek-to-cheek.

Rick wrote another simple but heartbreaking message, “Amazing memories.”

Corey Said ‘I Will Always Love You, Bubba’

Corey also acknowledged the loss of his brother on January 20th.

He posted a photo of him and Adam as kids to his Instagram account, calling Adam “Wax” and adding, “I will always love you, bubba.”

On February 22nd, The New York Post exclusively confirmed that Rick had mourned “son Adam at a private funeral service.”

Still, they admitted that “no other details about Adam’s funeral are known.”

Adam’s ‘Heavily Redacted Incident Report’

But a previous report by the Post revealed Adam’s sad final months of life, including a three-month jail sentence before he moved into the Las Vegas guest house where he was later found.

The Post got this information from a “heavily redacted incident report” from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.

That incident report provided shocking clues to the Post as to why Adam met such a tragic end.

The fellow resident who had been concerned about Adam also informed police that he’d been demonstrating “alarming behavior” before his passing, such as “barricading himself in the house by pushing furniture against the doors.”

Allegedly, Adam had a “history” of misusing substances.

Rick Harrison Confessed Adam’s Passing Did Not Surprise Him

Rick made a heartbreaking confession to Fox News in February 2024 that Adam’s passing did not surprise him.

He said that his son had battled addiction “for years,” and when he first heard the terrible news that Adam had passed away, Rick knew in his heart that it was because of an accidental OD.

Rick looked haggard in the interview with Fox News, especially when he admitted that Adam “had his problems for years, and the last six months was a really bad downward spiral.”

Rick added that he had been “dealing with this” for the last nineteen years of Adam’s life.

Rick Said ‘… I Was, Like, Crying My Eyes Out’

But even though he wasn’t shocked to learn why Adam had passed, the reality of being a father who lost his son was almost too much for Rick to bear.

He revealed to Fox News how “tough” it was during the week after he lost Adam.

Rick said, “I mean, if I wasn’t screaming at a wall, I was, like, crying my eyes out.”

Rick explained, “It’s my boy.”

He also described in detail how he and the Harrison family had desperately tried to get Adam off of substances, and he explained that he’d put Adam in “rehab multiple times.”

Shockingly, Rick admitted to terrible memories of “confrontations” with Adam over his life-threatening use of substances and why he felt that those illegal substances

Rick described it as if the “devil” had invented substances like the ones Adam was using.

He explained that these substances change people like Adam “into a different person.”

Rick Remembers Adam as ‘The Greatest Kid in the World’

But at least Rick got to smile and laugh at one point during his heartbreaking interview with Fox News.

And sweetly, he said that he would be remembering Adam forever as “the greatest kid in the world.”

During the interview, Rick pointed to a framed photo on the desk he was sitting at.

He told Fox News that it was a picture of younger Adam in his little league baseball uniform, and then he recalled a fond memory.

He said that Adam was ten years old in that picture.

And when Rick got the photos, he complained to Adam that he wasn’t “smiling in any of them.”

But Adam had a great excuse – at least for a ten-year-old kid!

Rick smiled and laughed as he remembered Adam telling him that he wasn’t smiling because he had his “game face” on.

Rick Harrison’s Family Scandal

But Rick wasn’t smiling when a family scandal erupted a couple of years ago.

Surprisingly, this drama blew up in Rick’s face after the heartbreaking loss of his dad, “Old Man” Richard Harrison, in 2018.

The Las Vegas Review-Journal published the strange report that Richard’s wife and Rick’s mom, JoAnne Harrison, was “seeking a restraining order against her son.”

JoAnne was 81 years old at the time, and before filing that “temporary restraining order” against Rick, she sued him over a “family trust, cash and silver, distributions from investments, and ownership shares of the famed Gold & Silver Pawn Shop.”

Rick Harrison’s Mother’s Lawyer Threw Major Shade at Rick

The Review-Journal wrote that JoAnne’s lawyer threw major shade at Rick in her court filing and asked a judge to order Rick not to stop paying JoAnne “monthly distributions” of $25,000.

According to JoAnne’s lawyer, Rick was enjoying a “comfortable life as a celebrity firmly in control of all the family businesses and finances.”

Shockingly, the lawyer claimed that JoAnne was “frightened and unsure if she will have enough resources to pay for her considerable medical and personal expenses.”

The Review-Journal wrote that Rick’s “spokeswoman” had responded to them in an email, and Rick appeared to have an interesting defense.

In the email, Rick claimed that his mother was being “manipulated by others” who were “not looking out for her best interests.”

He insisted that he had “tried to reach JoAnne numerous times over the last several months,” but Rick said he was “unable to do so.”

It’s strange that this family scandal has yet to be resolved.

And sadly, Rick has not confirmed whether he and his mom have settled this dispute and mended their relationship.

Rick Harrison’s Broken Marriages

What’s equally heartbreaking is Rick’s string of broken marriages: Rick has already been divorced three times in his life.

The Daily Mail reported how Rick’s third marriage ended.

After seven years of marriage, he filed for divorce from Deanna Burditt.

According to the divorce documents, Rick claimed that he and Deanna began thinking too “differently” to make their relationship work.

TMZ reported the shocking news that Rick and Deanna had gotten divorced a year before the public even knew about it, describing the divorce as “hush-hush.”

They added that “Deanna initially responded to the divorce filing by asking for alimony,” but they later reached a “settlement agreement” for “all issues like alimony, support, and property division.”

Sadly, Rick didn’t get one thing out of his divorce from Deanna.

After they married in 2013, he told TMZ how happy he was to become a stepdad to her “3 great daughters.”

But since they’re now divorced, it must be like Rick lost three other kids besides his beloved son, Adam.

What Really Happened With Morgan Wallen and Paige Lorenze

May 17, 2024

Is Paige Lorenze the most famous ex-girlfriend of Morgan Wallen? Inside sources, including Paige, claim that Morgan’s dreams began to mess with her desire to reach for the stars.

92.5 XTU is “Philly’s Country Station.” Seven months after Morgan and Paige broke up, 92.5 reported that Paige had revealed the “interesting” reason why her love affair with Morgan ended in heartbreak.

Sadly, Paige did claim that she and Morgan “really loved each other.” 92.5 wrote that rumors had been “swirling” that Paige suspected Morgan “was cheating on her with ‘multiple people.’”

If Morgan’s alleged cheating ways caused his breakup with Paige, sources claim that’s not the only reason why they split. 92.5 reported that girls were “supposedly” sending Paige insensitive photos and videos of their alleged encounters with Morgan. However, the radio station also admitted that his cheating was never “officially confirmed.”

At least 92.5 XTU provided us with another clue when they reported that Paige “was over the hearsay.” She wanted to reveal what really happened between her and Morgan a couple of years ago.

Paige Tried So Hard to Make Things Work

Paige appeared on the Sofia with an F podcast with host Sofia Franklyn around six months after their shocking split became headline news. Sofia introduced Paige as her “really good friend” since they were introduced a year and a half earlier.

Sofia said that they “just hit it off.” Paige added that “it’s really hard to find good girls,” and Sofia was “just one of the few.”

With that kind of friendship between girls, it sounded like Paige would be comfortable spilling the tea to Sofia about her brief romance with a country music superstar. Anyone who watched that podcast would agree that Paige did not disappoint.

Although Sofia and Paige didn’t come right out and name names, Paige threw a bit of shade at Morgan when she started talking about “rich rednecks” and how she’d “tried Nashville” and “had a country stint.” Then, Paige began to talk about why it ended.

She told Sofia that although they “didn’t work out,” the guy loved her because she was “so independent.” Paige claimed she loved him too and “tried so hard” to make his lifestyle something she loved.

Paige claimed she kept trying to convince herself, but “ultimately,” she “needed to be doing [her] own thing.” Then Paige revealed how it made her feel when her romance with Morgan started falling apart.

She revealed to Sofia that she “couldn’t sit on [Morgan’s] tour bus.” She “couldn’t sit around and watch him chase his dreams.” Paige must have truly loved Morgan because she confessed that his dreams were “amazing,” that he was “making history,” and it was “incredible” to see.

Life With Morgan Was Fun… For a Few Months

She told Sofia she admired everything Morgan had done before Paige got honest and set the record straight. Paige confessed to Sofia, “I’m my own person,” and “I want to make my own history.”

When she fell in love with Morgan, Paige admitted that life on the road was “fun… for a few months.” But then, it seemed like the darkness set in for Paige, and shockingly, it almost consumed her.

She explained to Sofia that it had reached the point where she had “nothing” in her anymore. Shockingly, Paige even revealed that she couldn’t be a “groupie forever.” At least Paige had the self-assurance to know she wasn’t a “groupie,” but she got offended because she realized that outsiders were calling her that.

Paige grew up in New York City and Vermont and threw a bit of shade at “girls in the South.” Listen closely because this is unbelievable.

Paige alleged, “The girls that I got to know in the South have very toxic relationships [with men].” She also thinks that the “relationship between a man and a woman in the South is very different” and very prejudiced against women.

The podcast was eye-opening, and Paige’s side of the story was honest and revealing. Still, media outlets like Page Six ran with the juicier rumor that Morgan was “cheating.” They claimed to have the “exclusive” on this version of their breakup.

Paige and Morgan Kept Their Relationship Out of the Spotlight

Even though Paige is a successful businesswoman, Page Six called her Morgan’s ex “model girlfriend.” They claimed they had two sources who could “exclusively confirm” why Paige and Morgan split.

One Page Six source allegedly said that “Paige started getting all these messages on Instagram” after her relationship with Morgan “went public.” Of course, these alleged messages were all from “girls” who cruelly told Page stuff like, “I was with [Morgan.] We slept together.”

This source claimed that these insane DMs kept snowballing. They alleged to Page Six that “it got to a point where it was just too much” for Paige.

Did this source feel sorry for her in any way? They did claim in the Page Six article that Paige was “heartbroken.”

In an earlier report, Page Six wrote that they’d “broken the news” that Morgan had been “quietly dating” Paige for about a year before they went “Instagram official.” In that report, another insider claimed that Morgan and Paige “agreed to keep their relationship out of the spotlight,” although it was “no secret among family and friends.”

According to Page Six, Paige confirmed her relationship with Morgan “just eight days later.” Paige posted a sweet photo of herself hugging Morgan backstage at his sold-out show in New York City. She wrote, “I love you!” to Morgan and added, “I am so proud of you.”

Paige Once Again Found Herself in the Spotlight

It seems that some media outlets twisted the facts about Morgan and Paige’s breakup. Us Weekly claimed that they split up after just “six months of dating.” Us Weekly also reported that they knew “what went wrong,” and they published their “exclusive.”

The outlet wrote that Paige addressed Morgan’s cheating allegations by uploading “a clip of herself dancing to Beyonce’s “Sorry.” Allegedly, Paige made this video because Beyonce’s song “is presumed to be about Jay-Z’s alleged infidelity.”

Paige also “posted a meme via her Instagram Story” that read, in part, “One of the most underrated ingredients for having a good life is a clear [conscience]. To know you aren’t out here doing people wrong and hiding who you are lets you sleep” at night.

Whatever really happened between Morgan and Paige, their old relationship continues to make news. The spotlight found Paige again after Morgan threw a chair off the rooftop of Chief’s bar in Nashville in April.

The New York Post briefly mentioned that Paige had dated Morgan in an article published on April 11th. Still, their report was mostly about Morgan being country music’s “bad boy” and that “nobody can stop him” from drinking too much and pulling off dumb stunts.

Paige Has a New Love

Whether or not Paige was truly “heartbroken” over her breakup with Morgan, she’s definitely chasing her own dreams these days. Page Six reported “exclusively” in November 2023 that Paige has a hot new boyfriend, and her business ventures are booming.

Paige revealed to Page Six that she had been dating a tennis pro named Tommy Paul for about a year. They were moving into a home together in Florida, near “where Tommy will be training” when he isn’t traveling the world on the ATP tour. Paige said that Tommy was “definitely leaving the decorating process to me” and that they were “excited to spend more time together and have a place of our own.”

Page Six reported that Paige is a fashion designer. She sounded happy when she told them how much Tommy supports her and her business, Dairy Boy.

The Dairy Boy website describes Paige as a former “competitive ski racer” with “a deep love for the outdoors.” After she received a design degree at The New School in Manhattan, Paige eventually founded her “lifestyle brand,” Dairy Boy, which contains “shoppable, tangible pieces” including “staple denim… cottage core bedsheets… nostalgic candles, and more.”

Most recently, Paige was in the stands to watch Tommy play at the 2024 Italian Open. Still, it seemed like Tommy was a little jealous when Paige started raving on social media about how “perfect” Rome is. According to Page Six, Paige had “previously” told them that “she’s the ‘happiest’ version of herself” with Tommy.
