Is there a wedding or baby in Mackenzie McKee’s future? That’s what some fans are asking after she posted a series of life updates on Instagram. The Instagram story featured Mackenzie in various shots and offered new details about her life.

The first photo showed Mackenzie dressed in workout clothes and posing with a paint roller. She captioned the photo by saying that she was working on a new space for her bodybymac brand.

Mackenzie has her own fitness brand, which she uses to help coach and train others to reach their fitness goals. The new space is likely where she’ll host training sessions and film some fitness tutorials.

Besides showing off her toned form, Mackenzie accidentally teased her fans with a ring. Super fans spotted a ring on her finger and wondered if she might be engaged.

The second photo had Mackenzie smiling next to her friend. They were surrounded by young cheerleaders, and Mackenzie explained that she and her friend started an All-Star cheerleader gym. She works with the cheerleaders to increase their fitness and develop new routines.

In her third photo, Mackenzie revealed that she had made an app for her bodybymac brand.

It’s a community fitness app designed to help track goals, provide support for one another, and offer other tools to reach the fitness aesthetic users are seeking.

Mackenzie started her fitness business some time ago. Now, she is looking to reach an even wider audience with the app.

Mackenzie Teased a Return to Reality TV

The fourth photo was of her daughter holding a clapboard and smiling into the camera. There weren’t any details on the clapboard, but Mackenzie captioned the photo saying her family was sharing their story again.

It suggests a return to reality TV. Fans who loved seeing Mackenzie and her kids will likely be thrilled to know that they’ll get the chance to do so again soon.

The final life update left her fans even more excited. It’s because of this particular photo that they started wondering if Mackenzie was engaged or pregnant.

In the last photo, which is just a blue background, she wrote a caption that said her fans would have to stay tuned for the fifth big update to her life. She called it a secret, so naturally, fans began to speculate.

The first guess that fans had was that Mackenzie was engaged. They saw the ring on her finger in her first photo and assumed that her boyfriend had proposed to her.

Other fans thought that she might be pregnant. Although Mackenzie has children already, she’s dating someone new. Some wondered if they had decided to start a family together.

With all the speculation going around, Mackenzie decided to put an end to some of the rumors. In the same post, she commented that there was no engagement and that she was not pregnant.

She also used a laughing face emoji. So, while she isn’t engaged or pregnant, her fans still have a fifth life update to watch out for.

Mackenzie Found Love Again

Mackenzie is already a mom to children Gannon, Jaxie, and Broncs. She shares them with her ex-husband, Josh McKee. She was on Teen Mom with Josh, which followed their relationship since 2009.

They married in 2013 and remained married for almost a decade before Mackenzie revealed that they were getting a divorce in 2022. According to People Magazine, Mackenzie said that they had tried to make things work, but the marriage couldn’t be saved. She said that she’d always respect him as the father of her children, but she was ready to find her happiness.

Mackenzie also talked about how much growth she’s done through the relationship. She explained that the old version of her would have gone after Josh and exposed all the things he did to her during their marriage. However, the new version of her can walk away with the knowledge that she does so with deep scars but still has the love of her kids.

She wished Josh happiness and peace for his future. As for her own future, Mackenzie was able to find love again with Khesanio Hall. They started dating in December 2023 and appear to be very in love.

Fans have also given Mackenzie their support, often commenting on the couple’s photos and congratulating her for finding someone who looks like they have a wonderful soul. While Mackenzie may not be pregnant or engaged yet, she has all the time in the world to decide if those are things she wants.

Brian McKnight Calls Estranged Children “Product of Sin”

Brian McKnight is under fire for his recent comments about his oldest children, calling them a product of sin. In an Instagram video, Brian highlighted a comment that one of his fans made. The fan was defending Brian’s choice to cut out his older children from his life saying that sometimes you need to cut out toxic people, even if they’re your family members.

Brian said that this fan got where he was coming from and then went on to say that his children were a product of sin. Fans couldn’t understand how Brian could cut off his oldest children and accept his new children with his wife, Leilani McKnight.

His oldest children have reacted to their father’s estrangement in different ways. His oldest son, Brian Jr., used to make music with his father. As they grew more distant, Brian Jr. pursued his own music career and even had a family of his own.

He named his son Brian III to honor the family legacy. Brian has said that no matter what his father chooses to do, he’s going to continue to honor his ancestors and his family’s legacy.

Brian’s Son Claims to Have Saved Him from Federal Prison

Niko, who is the second oldest, hasn’t been as diplomatic as his older brother. He works as a photographer in LA, and when he heard that his dad was calling him a product of sin and evil, he had a few things to say.

According to Page Six, Niko threw some shade at his dad when he said that the man who was calling him evil also asked him to clean up evidence that he had been cheating on his wife. Niko said he was 15 at the time. He also claimed that his dad forged his and his brother’s signatures.

While Niko admitted that he grew up spoiled, he basically called his dad a hypocrite for calling other people evil when he’s just as evil. He even alleged that they had kept their dad from going to federal prison.

He said they knew a lot of stuff that would put Brian in a bad light. Even despite all that he’s done, Niko said that he still loved his dad because he knew the man he once knew was still somewhere inside him.

Briana is Brian’s eldest daughter who famously took him to court for defamation. Brian ended up settling with his daughter, paying over $250,000. In retaliation, perhaps, Brian also changed his will since he didn’t see himself reconciling with his daughter or older children.

Brian Has a New Family

While Brian basically shut out his older children, he fully embraced his younger children with his wife, Leilani. She already had two children coming into the marriage, and Brian has called them both the perfect son and daughter that he’d always wanted.

RELATED: C-Murder Speaks Out on Monica

When he and Leilani had a child of their own, they named him Brian Kainoa Makoa Jr. Brian then changed his own name to Brian Kainoa Makoa Sr., so he could match his newborn son’s name.

Even though he already had a junior, he basically got rid of Brian Jr. for the new Brian Jr. that he shares with Leilani. The original Brian Jr., his oldest son, said that his dad changing his name is the ultimate sign of self-hatred and that it’s become a mental illness at this point. Brian has told fans who don’t agree with his decision to remove his older children from his life that they just don’t know the full story.

Victoria Beckham’s Daughter In Law Misses her 50th Bday

Nicola Peltz passed on her mother-in-law Victoria Beckham’s birthday party. The glamorous bash was attended by a litany of stars, including Gordon Ramsay and Tom Cruise, as well as the rest of the Spice Girls. But one person who was noticeably absent was the wife of Victoria’s son, Brooklyn.

Her absence set off some alarm bells online, with fans worried that there was some sort of rift between the two women. Since then, Nicola has taken to social media to shut down all the theories. 

She shared a post on her Instagram Stories in which she explained the truth about what happened. Her post included a photo of Nicola hugging her grandmother, who it turned out Nicola had chosen to spend some time with. In the caption, she wrote, “My world in my arms.”

Another photo followed, showing the full Beckham family posing at the party in Oswalds in London. Nicola also shared a heartfelt message to Victoria. 

She wrote, “Happy Birthday to my beautiful MIL @victoriabeckham.” She went on to write that she was “so sad” that she was not there to celebrate Victoria’s birthday with her, but sent “all my love from me and Naunni.”

Nicola and her grandmother have always had an exceptionally close relationship. She was even the maid of honor at her wedding to Brooklyn. With this being the case, it’s not surprising that Nicola prioritized spending time with her grandma over Victoria’s swanky bash. 

Nicola and Victoria Haven’t Always Gotten Along

For everyone who did attend, the party was an evening to remember. It was reported that inside the party, all five members of the Spice Girls reunited to sing their hit song Stop. Victoria’s husband David captured the moment when his wife along with her bandmates started busting out their iconic dance moves.

Victoria’s actual birthday took place the previous week. At that time, Nicola showed her affection for her mother-in-law with another post. This one showed a throwback photo of her and Victoria in an embrace, along with a caption in which Nicola called her mother-in-law her “dance partner.”

However, things weren’t always so rosy for the two women. There were rumors before her wedding to Brooklyn that they were in a long feud.

One insider told Page Six, “They can’t stand each other and don’t talk.” The source went on to say, “The build-up to the wedding was horrendous.” Whether those rumors are now back to stay, we’ll just have to wait and see.

The Tragedy of Wynonna Judd’s Daughter

We all know that Wynonna Judd’s life has been filled with heartache and tragedies. But now, her daughter’s tragic life has been exposed.

Grace Pauline Kelley is the 27-year-old daughter of Wynonna and Arch Kelley III. Grace has a brother named Elijah Judd. Wynonna and Arch did not have a happy marriage, and they divorced after only two years.

E! News reported on April 9th that the Elmore County Sheriff’s Department had arrested Grace in Alabama. She was charged with two misdemeanor crimes on April 5th, and what Grace allegedly did is unbelievable.

Police records obtained by E! News claim that the misdemeanor charges against Grace are indecent exposure and obstructing government operations. Here’s the real truth about what happened with Grace on that unfortunate day.

According to E! News, Grace was seen “at a busy intersection of Interstate 65 and Highway 14” in Millbrook, Alabama. Shockingly, it’s alleged that Grace “exposed her breasts and lower body” to oncoming traffic. 

When Elmore County law enforcement arrived, police records stated that Grace would not follow their orders or identify herself. She just “sat down on the side of the road while refusing to comply with officers.” 

E! News also reported that Grace’s first court appearance was scheduled for April 11. When the outlet investigated further, they discovered that Grace doesn’t even have a lawyer who could “speak on her behalf.”

Wynonna Rarely Discusses Grace’s Legal Troubles

Sadly, Grace has been in trouble with the law before. Six years ago, she was even sentenced to an eight-year prison term when she violated probation for another offense she’d committed.

In 2018, US News reported that Grace’s probation was “revoked,” and she was serving “an eight-year sentence at West Tennessee State Penitentiary.” Grace was convicted of using illegal substances in June 2016. She also faced a separate conviction for “evading arrest in July 2016.”

According to Radar Online, Grace pled guilty to manufacturing, delivering, selling, and possessing illegal substances in Williamson County, Tennessee, for those 2016 charges. In May 2017, a Tennessee judge made Grace pay over $3,000 in fines after she pled guilty to another possession charge.

RELATED: Country Stars Who Have Been Arrested

Wynonna is known as an outspoken woman in country music, but E! News said, “Wynonna has rarely discussed her daughter’s legal troubles.” So, what’s the real truth about Wynonna’s relationship with her troubled daughter?

Several years ago, Wynnona spoke to John Rich on his podcast, The Pursuit!, and tried to set the record straight. This sounds unbelievable now, but Wynonna claimed to John that Grace “is the strongest Judd woman in our ‘herstory.'” Wynnona also believed that her daughter was “healthier” than she was at 23. 

Wynonna confessed that she escaped Grace’s “fate” because she had been “sequestered” on a tour bus with her mom, Naomi, when she was Grace’s age. Wynonna said it was “kind of hard to get in trouble.” She also admitted, “That could have been me, John, if I didn’t have music.”

Wynonna made shocking confessions to John about her relationship with her mom. An equally shocking article in OK magazine spilled the tea on the twisted Judd family dynamic. 

Grace Wanted to Live with Her Aunt

OK magazine called Grace “Wynonna’s wild daughter,” and inside sources told the outlet that they had a “horrible relationship.” Allegedly, Grace grew up in a broken home and dreamed in vain of being “adopted by her Aunt,” Wynonna’s movie star sister, Ashley Judd.

The sources also claimed that Grace “constantly ran away” from home. As Grace reached adulthood, she “fled” to Ashley’s house because no one could stop her anymore. OK Magazine confirmed that Ashley took Grace in.

RELATED: Kellie Pickler’s First Public Appearance Since Husband’s Death

Another “drama exploded” in the Judd family when Ashley allegedly claimed that Wynonna had hired a “private investigator” to plant a “tracking device” in one of Ashley’s vehicles that Grace had been allowed to drive.

This scandal became so loaded that Ashley shockingly took Wynonna to court. Ashley won “temporary custody of her niece” during a fragile time in Grace’s life when she was battling her dependence on addictive substances. Ashley’s heart may have been in the right place, but even she couldn’t stop Grace’s downward spiral.

Two years after she fled to Ashley’s house, Grace faced another arrest for “manufacturing and distributing” illegal substances. Sources with inside knowledge told OK Magazine that Grace’s tragic life was “heartbreaking to see.” They claimed, “The Judd family’s cycle of woe was repeating itself in the new generation.”

Grace Was Sent to a Behavioral Camp

Radar Online took another deep dive into Grace’s troubled past, including an incident that happened when Grace left “boarding school” to return home to Wynonna. But Grace never made it, and she allegedly “disappeared for days during a flight layover.”

This incident may have triggered a punishment for Grace. An inside source told Radar that Grace was sent to a “behavioral camp” for troubled youth a year after her disappearance.

Radar also alleged that Ashley “obtained temporary custody” of Grace after Grace accused Wynonna of “popping pills” and being abusive to her. Wynonna strongly denied those allegations. 

As if this isn’t unbelievable enough, a Radar Online investigation confirmed shocking and heartbreaking details about Grace’s most recent arrest for indecent exposure. According to the Radar report, Grace was holding a sign that said “Ride for a Ride” when she was found unclothed on Highway 14 in Alabama.

Allegedly, Grace was in a “frenzy” because she was under the influence of substances. Radar cited a report in the New York Post that claimed Grace was spotted “near a Walmart in Millbrook, scantily clad and arguing with police officers about the legality of her actions.”

Later, Grace allegedly “caused a disturbance” at a gas station nearby. She began to complain to shocked onlookers that she had been the victim of a robbery.

At this point, a call was placed to law enforcement, but Grace took off from the gas station. She was finally located and brought into custody on Highway 14, minus her clothes and flaunting that disturbing sign.

Grace Has Been Stuck in Jail Since Her Arrest

The chief of Millbrook Police, PK Johnson, released a statement after Grace’s arrest. Chief Johnson alleged that Grace “argued” with his officers about the “legality” of what she was doing on the highway. Sadly, Chief Johnson claimed Grace said “it was not illegal for her to offer herself” in exchange for a hitchhike. 

Grace’s mugshot from the April 5th arrest has also been published online. The shocking image presents another sad side to this story.

RELATED: Will Morgan Wallen Go to Jail?

One of Grace’s eyes looks swollen in the photo as she frowns at the camera. Her face appears bruised or smudged by dirt. Chief Johnson claimed that Grace “might not” have had illegal substances on her when she was arrested, but he added, “If you look at the booking photo… it hadn’t been long.” 

Shockingly, an April 10th report by Radar Online confirmed that Grace had been “stuck in jail” for days following her arrest. Grace’s bail bond had been set at just $1,000, but no one in her family posted bail as she waited in a cell for her court appearance on April 11th.

Will Morgan Wallen Go to Jail?

Initially, Morgan Wallen delighted Nashville fans when he stopped by Eric Church’s brand-new bar, Chiefs. But after he began partying on the rooftop section of the bar, Morgan allegedly did something incredibly shocking. Now, media outlets claim that Morgan’s illegal stunt could earn him a six-year prison sentence if he’s found guilty of the serious charges against him.

At approximately 11 p.m. on Sunday, April 7th, Morgan allegedly threw a chair off the rooftop of Chief’s bar. The chair became a dangerous flying object. It crash-landed very close to where two members of the Metropolitan Nashville police department were standing on Broadway. 

People Magazine reported on April 10th that the chance is “very remote” that Morgan will see the inside of a jail cell. But now, a lawyer says that that might not be the case.

People spoke to a “legal expert,” a Nashville criminal defense attorney named David Raybin. David is not involved with Morgan’s case and can’t confirm whether Morgan will serve time or for how long. But there’s another side to this story, and it could negatively impact Morgan.

Because that falling chair could have seriously or even fatally injured members of law enforcement, David claims that Morgan could be hit with a much harsher penalty from the judge. There are other questions that need to be answered in this twisted story. David tried to set the record straight.

He explained that the “reckless endangerment” charges are serious Class E felonies. The three felony charges against Morgan “could carry one to two years in prison per count, as well as probation.” That means Morgan could face a maximum sentence of six years behind bars for each felony count, with time served for each count occurring consecutively (meaning, one after the other).

Morgan Might Get Sentenced “to Send a Message”

Then there’s the question on everyone’s mind: how will Morgan’s fame affect his punishment?

Although Morgan is a superstar, that’s not the only reason he might not get the maximum sentence. David explained that “consecutive time” is mainly considered for serious repeat offenders and the “extreme dangerousness of the offense.”

David said he didn’t “want to minimize” what Morgan did and repeated that Morgan committed a “serious offense.” But David seriously doubts that Morgan will serve “consecutive time” for this incident. 

RELATED: Morgan Wallen Arrested After Allegedly Throwing Chair

Shockingly, David did suggest that Morgan might get “some sort of sentence to send a message” for pulling a stunt that had the potential to hurt or even fatally injure someone on the street below.

However, Morgan isn’t a repeat offender or a hardened criminal with a record of extremely dangerous activity. Because of this, David believes he could face “a maximum of two years, assuming he was not put on probation.”

David explained, “It’s the risk that’s punishable, not what actually happened.” According to what David told People, the “caliber” of Morgan’s fame will make the verdict in his case “more complicated than the average offender.” 

Morgan Was Laughing When He Threw the Chair

Inside sources have alleged that Morgan appeared to be drinking too much at the rooftop bar before he tossed that chair. If that’s the real truth, Morgan’s judgment was obviously impaired.

But he didn’t get into serious trouble until the chair landed far too close to those MNPD officers, who investigated immediately and quickly took Morgan into custody. 

People.com reported that 30-year-old Morgan was arrested on the scene. He was charged with “felony reckless endangerment and disorderly conduct by Metro Nashville police.”

The Metro Nashville police X account confirmed further details in a post on Monday, April 8th. At last check, the post had received 2.2 million views and included a shocking mugshot of Morgan. In it, he was grinning at the MNPD camera as if nothing serious had happened.

Metro Nashville police described Morgan as a “country artist.” He was booked early in the morning of April 8th on “three counts of felony reckless endangerment and one count of misdemeanor disorderly conduct” for tossing that chair over the roof of the bar.

Taste of Country told another side of this story. Their information came directly from the two Nashville police officers involved in the flying chair incident. The police officers alleged that they “were standing in front of Chiefs Bar on Broadway” when the chair Morgan threw from six stories overhead landed “just feet away” from where they stood. 

Staff at Chief’s bar also provided a video to MNPD that allegedly showed Morgan was the only person responsible for tossing that chair off the roof. Shockingly, inside sources also told MNPD that Morgan began “laughing” after he tossed the chair off the building. 

The Prosecution Has to Find a Middle Course

The X post from Metro Nashville police confirmed that Morgan was released on a $15,250 bond. People obtained court records that said Morgan is due to appear in a Nashville courtroom on May 3rd for “settlement” purposes.

So what exactly does that mean? David thinks there will also be a “debate” over how Morgan’s case is “handled” in court. The crazy reason for that is simply because Morgan is a huge celebrity.

According to David, the “question” is whether Morgan will be treated “too lightly or too harshly” because of his fame. In this rare kind of case, David says that the prosecutor “tries to steer a middle course.”

That means Morgan won’t receive just a “$10 fine.” On the other hand, David thinks that the prosecutor won’t toss Morgan in prison for the maximum amount of time because he’s a famous guy who could have hurt or fatally wounded two police officers.

David told People, “The challenge is going to be for both sides to reach a disposition that’s fair and accurate.” However, he sincerely believes that the court will want to “deter that behavior.”

Without speculating too much, the best example David could provide was a real scenario he’s encountered in his law career. In this example, an alleged offender’s sentence was “split.” That means the offender spent ten days behind bars for their crime, and the rest of their sentence was completed on probation.

David explained that a split sentence is a “modest amount of incarceration.” The court intends to send a message that “this is just wrong.” David doesn’t believe Morgan will be sent to jail for two years.

Morgan Has a Concert on the Day of His Court Appearance

The other consequence that Morgan faces is called “diversion.” David told People that’s “usually how those cases are disposed of.” Diversion means that Morgan’s record will be expunged if he pleads guilty and completes his probation—but there’s a twist.

According to David, the fact that MNPD officers were involved “aggravates the case a lot.” This means that Morgan could still face limited jail time in addition to a longer sentence completed under probation.

RELATED: This is Why Morgan Wallen Lost It

This is wild, but Morgan has a concert scheduled in Nashville on May 3rd, the same day as his court appearance. Morgan is headlining at Nissan Stadium, and it’s expected that 69,000 fans will be in attendance. 

If you don’t know who Worrick Robinson is, he’s Morgan’s actual attorney. Worrick hasn’t been nearly as talkative with the media as David was, but he released a statement on Morgan’s behalf.

Worrick’s statement confirmed that Morgan was arrested in downtown Nashville at 10:53 p.m. on April 7th. Worrick also declared that Morgan “is cooperating fully with authorities.” As far as Morgan’s lawyer goes, that’s all he wrote until Morgan appears before a judge in Nashville this May.

C-Murder Speaks Out on Monica

A few months ago, C-Murder gave his reaction to ex Monica’s comments about their split. 

C-Murder’s Life Sentence in Prison

Monica described her break up with the incarcerated rapper as leaving her feeling “heartbroken”.

RELATED: Cardi B Confirms Break Up With Offset

C-Murder, on the other hand, has now expressed that he feels Monica’s attention is best spent on bigger issues. 

He wrote a post on Instagram which started with, “I don’t know why someone feels the need to publicly bash a person that’s fighting for their life.”

C-Murder was referring to his current battle against a life sentence he is now serving in prison. 

He was convicted of the fatal shooting of 16-year-old Steve Thomas in 2002, but has always maintained his innocence and is currently seeking to appeal his sentence. 

C-Murder’s Nature of Legal Process: ‘Racist Jim Crow Law’

He continued in his post, “I am a black male fighting and hoping for freedom one day.”

Regarding Monica’s comments about their relationship, the rapper wrote, “Wanna speak on something?? Let’s talk about freeing us Louisiana inmates still held illegally and unconstitutionally…”

He went on to criticize the nature of the legal process that put him in jail as a “racist Jim Crow law”.

He also referenced the fact that the jury did not convict him unanimously, with 2 of the 12 jurors unconvinced of his guilt. 

He finished his post by sharing a website in the hope that “all celebrities against RACISM” would sign his petition.

Monica Said ‘I Got My Heartbroken (Again) …’

This all came about after Monica made a post of her own addressing what happened between her and C-Murder. 

She wrote, “I got my heartbroken (again) and that’s ok! I learned yet another valuable lesson, I went through it, got over it, now I can laugh about it!”

However, from his lengthy social media statement, C-Muder has clearly found very little to laugh about. 

Meanwhile, Monica seems to be doing just fine, and was recently seen making a first public appearance with her new man, Chris Brown’s manager, Anthony Wilson.

They attended Nelly’s Black and White Ball together in December last year. 

Although it seemed like Monica was able to move on quite quickly after her split with C-Murder, many fans were still shocked that they had broken up at all.

Just a few weeks earlier, the former couple were making headlines about how loved up they were despite C-Murder being behind bars. 

Monica’s Generic Response to C-Murder’s Birthday Comment

Hot News Hip Hop reported in October last year that he had sent her some gifts from jail for her 40th birthday. 

Reportedly among the presents were red roses, a cake, and some Louis Vuitton products.

The rapper popped up on Instagram to wish Monica a happy birthday. 

He wrote, “I hope your earth day was beautiful… keep being the woman and warrior you are love you Cee.”

However, although Monica expressed her gratitude online, her message was a whole lot less lovey-dovey. 

She replied, “Thank you @cmurder. This was extremely thoughtful… Cake was fire too! Thank you, you’re appreciated.”

So was the writing on the wall for this pair earlier than we thought?

Whatever the truth is, it seems like both have moved on to other concerns, with C-Murder still doing everything he can to secure his release from prison.

Suri Cruise Turns 18

Last week, we saw Suri Cruise celebrate turning 18 in New York City.

Page Six reported on Thursday that Suri was snapped stepping out on a rainy day with a friend, holding what appeared to be a birthday gift in her hand.

Why Tom Cruise Hasn’t Seen His Daughter, Suri, Over 10 Years

While Suri appeared to be enjoying her day, it seems unlikely that she was joined on her big day by her famous father.

Tom Cruise was reportedly spotted in London just one day earlier as he worked on his latest project. 

The Hollywood superstar was seen by paparazzi arriving at a helipad.

In recent years, Tom and Suri have had a pretty frosty relationship. 

The 61-year-old has reportedly not seen his youngest daughter in over a decade, according to inside sources. 

Katie Holmes Determined to Give Suri as Private a Life as Possible 

An anonymous informer told Page Six that the two had not seen each other since 2012, when they were seen spending time together at Disney World. 

The insider explained that Suri’s mom, Katie Holmes, has taken charge of Suri’s wellbeing. 

They said, “Katie has safeguarded Suri and she’s a devoted mom.”

The source went on to describe how normal a life Suri has been able to live away from her dad. 

She was described as a “private citizen” who has not “lived her life in public.”

Suri’s parents split up when she was just 6 after Katie filed for divorce from Tom.

Katie admitted in an interview with Glamour magazine that she was determined to give Suri as private a life as possible.

She explained that her reason for doing this was “because she was so visible at such a young age.”

Why Katie Filed For Divorce From Tom: to ‘Protect Suri From Scientology’ 

But court documents shared in November 2013 showed that it wasn’t just the public spotlight Katie wanted to shield her daughter from.

The documents also stated that Katie had filed for divorce from Tom to “protect Suri from Scientology.”

RELATED: Exposing the Real Reason Gerry and Theresa Got Divorced

Tom is probably the most famous member of the controversial religion, which has often been referred to as a “cult”. 

Some crazy accusations have been made about the church by past members over the years, including allegations of threats and abuse. 

It’s believed that Katie must have signed multiple non-disclosure agreements after divorcing Tom. 

This is thought to have been a preventative measure to stop her from openly criticizing Scientology after leaving her husband and the church. 

However, the future of the church’s secrets now looks more uncertain than ever. 

And it’s all because of Suri.

Now that she has legally become an adult, Suri will be free to discuss Scientology and Tom as openly as she wants to. 

So far, she has not shared anything about her estranged father or his secretive religion.

But we already know that Suri herself no longer has any connection to the church.

Former Scientology spokesperson Mike Rinder told Page Six, “Suri is not a Scientologist and never will be… she deserved love and sympathy.”

For now at least, it seems that Suri will be able to continue living the private life her mom fought so hard for her to have.

American Idol Alum, Mandisa Dead at 47

She stole the hearts of American Idol fans everywhere when she killed Simon Cowell with kindness.

Mandisa Hundley may not have won American Idol when she appeared on the show’s fifth season, but her charisma and general kindness earned her a huge following after she left the show.

Unfortunately, according to K-Love, a Christian radio station, Mandisa died on Thursday, April 18, 2024.

She was at home in Nashville, Tennessee, when she passed.

The cause of her death is currently unknown.

Mandisa’s Stardom Before American Idol

Mandisa was a strong competitor on American Idol back in 2006, but she was already an accomplished singer before then.

She was once part of the Fisk Jubilee Singers, which is a coveted singing group at Nashville’s Fisk University.

The group is famously selective about whom it allows in.

With her singing skills already sharp, Mandisa quickly advanced each week during her time on American Idol.

However, she really caught the audience’s attention after a moment shared with Simon.

Following an incredible audition that sold the judges immediately, Simon made a comment about Mandisa’s weight.

RELATED: Luke Bryan Mocked by American Idol Contestant

While some people may have become understandably angry or ignored the comment, Mandisa did something different.

Her attitude about the joke won the audience to her side immediately.

While on stage, Mandisa told Simon that his comment had hurt her.

She cried over his comment because it was painful, but she forgave him all the same.

Mandisa said that even though Simon never apologized for his comment, she still forgave him because she didn’t need someone to apologize to her to forgive them.

It was with that sort of kindness and open heart that Mandisa grew a huge audience of her own.

Even though she came in ninth on American Idol, she’d go on to have a successful music career, especially in the genre of Christian music.

As a devout Christian herself, Mandisa used her platform to talk about God, her personal struggles, and the healing that her faith gave her.

She put out five albums, including a Christmas album, with her album Overcomer even earning her a Grammy for Best Contemporary Christian Music Album.

Mandisa Opened Up About Depression and Being Sexually Assaulted

While Mandisa found success, she also had her share of struggles.

In her memoir, Out of the Dark, Mandisa revealed that she had been sexually assaulted in her youth.

The crime really impacted her mental health, which led to serious depression.

The depression became so bad that Mandisa even once tried to harm herself.

Her friends stopped her before it was too late and staged an intervention.

They helped her get into therapy, which she said she never wanted to do, but she really needed to do.

Mandisa was amazed at how therapy changed her.

During an interview with Good Morning America, Mandisa also said that her faith and dog helped her live through her depression.

Even though Mandisa had demons of her own, she’d go on to make music with other well-known stars like TobyMac.

He said that Mandisa was the most authentic person he knew and that she always made his tours better due to her care for the crew and other artists on stage.

She was 47 years old.

Taylor Swift Writes a Diss Seemingly About Kim Kardashian

The release of Taylor Swift’s latest album has got tongues wagging about who the songwriter is taking aim at in her lyrics. 

Could one of her latest targets really be Kim Kardashian?

Taylor surprised her legions of fans by releasing not one but two albums in the early hours of this morning. 

Taylor Swift’s Diss Track Aimed at Kim Kardashian

Among the many surprises on The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology was the possibility of a diss track aimed at Kim.

The track in question is called thanK you aIMee, and cryptic clues in the title have led people to believe that the influencer and socialite is the subject of the song.

This has a lot to do with the fact that the only letters in the title to appear capitalized spell out Kim’s name.

The song itself portrays the title figure of Aimee as a kind of school bully. 

Lyrics in the chorus recount attacks that “Aimee” has orchestrated against Taylor.

Taylor also sings about the so-called Aimee “throwing punches” while she was “building something”, before adding that she “couldn’t forgive the way you made me feel.”

If the song really is about Kim, as the clues seem to suggest, it could all lead back to the worm’s feud from 2016. 

How Kim Kardashian Betrayed Taylor Swift

At that time, Kim, who was still married to Kanye West, was seen to have betrayed Taylor’s trust by leaking an edited conversation between Taylor and Kanye about the rapper’s song Famous.

Kanye had claimed to have gotten Taylor’s approval for the song.

However, Taylor’s reps later denied that she had approved of some of the language Kanye used when rapping about her. 

Kim Recorded Taylor’s Phone Call Without Her Consent 

With neither backing down, Kim got herself involved by releasing the footage of an alleged phone call between the artists on Snapchat.

The call showed them discussing the song, although Taylor had no idea it was being recorded, according to People magazine.

The footage Kim shared was also edited, only for the full conversation to appear online later, confirming Taylor’s version of events. 

In the bridge of thanK you aIMee, Taylor also suggests  that Aimee might have “reframed” something, a possible allusion to Kim’s sabotaged video.

She also hinted to have changed the real name of the song’s subject to Aimee. 

All of the clues left many fans convinced they knew what Taylor was really getting at. 

One tweeted to write, “Not #thanKyouaIMee being an entire song by Taylor Swift thanking Kim Kardashian because there ‘wouldn’t be this if there hadn’t been you.’”

Taylor Said Kim Had Taken Her Down ‘Psychologically to a Place I’d Never Been Before’

Taylor was named TIME magazine’s Person of the Year last December. 

In her interview for TIME, she mentioned how her feud with Kim had taken her down “psychologically to a place I’d never been before.”

She also felt like her career was taken away from her after Kim made her out to be a liar. 

With her newest album, Taylor has finally had her chance to hit back, and Swifties all over the world are here for it.

Prince William Speaks Out on Kate Amid Cancer Battle

Prince William has made a promise about his wife after returning to public duty this week.

In Touch Weekly shared the news first broken by Daily Mail editor Rebecca English on Twitter on Thursday. 

‘Prince William Promised to ‘Look After’ the Princess of Wales …’

She tweeted that “Prince William promised to ‘look after’ the Princess of Wales as he made his first public appearance since her cancer announcement.”

Prince William was attending the Earthshot Prize, an environmental project organized by the British Royal family. 

He also spent time with a number of charities on Thursday April 19.

During his visit, he received well wishes and get-well cards for his wife and his father.

Alleged: King Charles Doesn’t Have Long Left to Live

Both Kate and King Charles are known to be battling cancer at the moment, with the king announcing his diagnosis in February. 

In Touch reported that they had been informed that King Charles is battling pancreatic cancer. 

The sources went on to add that he has allegedly been told by doctors that he doesn’t have long left. 

Before the report, the royal family has tried to keep information about the king’s health as private as possible. 

Buckingham Palace confirmed in early February that the 75-year-old had been diagnosed with cancer after having surgery for an enlarged prostate the previous month.

This meant that even details like what type of cancer the king is suffering from were intended to be kept under wraps. 

However, the source divulged that the true extent of King Charles’ diagnosis is actually an “open secret” around the palace. 

A second source added that many people around the royal family have always believed that the king’s cancer is worse than it has been made out to be. 

And that even before his diagnosis, there were allegedly a lot of concerns about his health.

Despite this, King Charles has not completely withdrawn from the public eye. 

He has continued to attend some engagements, but this could just be in order to keep up appearances. 

William, meanwhile, used his most recent public appearance to make a touching promise to Kate. 

Why Kate Had Not Been Seen Publicly for 12 Weeks 

The heartbreaking news of her diagnosis came after weeks of scrutiny and conspiracy theories about her whereabouts. 

She came in for criticism after a Mother’s Day photo with her children was discovered to be edited. 

Before then, the Princess of Wales had not been seen publicly for around 12 weeks. 

The truth was that she was recovering from abdominal surgery, but conspiracy theorists were convinced that something else was going on. 

The theories got so out of control that Kate felt forced to come forward with her diagnosis before she was fully ready to do so. 

Since sharing her news, many have called for Kate to be allowed some more privacy and less baseless speculation. 

The presence of cancer was discovered during Kate’s surgery, and she has since shared that she is in the “early stages” of chemotherapy treatment. 

While she will probably want to stay out of the spotlight for a while, her husband has wasted no time assuring us that he’ll be there for her all the way.
