Kody Brown Speaks Out About Garrison

On one heartbreaking day in March 2024, Garrison Brown passed away in Flagstaff, Arizona. His cause of death was ruled a suicide.

Garrison was the son of Janelle Brown and Kody Brown. The family made waves in the reality TV world years prior via the TLC series “Sister Wives.” Garrison was only 25 years old.

Janelle and Kody have been separated for quite a while now, but they are apparently still lending each other support. Now, after months of public silence, it looks like Kody has spoken out about his late son.

In a recent interview with People Magazine, Kody said that he believed that he would have “more time” with his late son. He has since accepted that this is no longer possible. Before the debut of the newest season of “Sister Wives,” Kody said that he had accepted that he could have done more for his son, but didn’t.

“I’d get texts, stuff like that, and we could have, retrospectively, we could have done so much more,” Kody told People. He also noted that he regretted not making enough time to see Garrison in the months leading up to his passing.

Kody also said that having a child pass away is “strange.” He explained that “the wave of grief is different from any wave of grief I have ever had.”

Garrison’s Death Brought the Family Together

The newest season of “Sister Wives” just started airing in September 2024. The new season will likely focus on Garrison’s death and how the unconventional family will attempt to grieve their loss.

According to another recent writeup by People, Kody and Janelle have been brought closer together in the wake of their son Garrison’s sudden passing… at least, enough to offer periodic support to one another.

Janelle famously broke up with Kody in an earlier season of “Sister Wives,” as did Christine and Meri. This left Kody with only one “sister” wife, Robyn.

However, differences aside, Janelle and Kody seem to be attempting to support each other during this difficult time. Janelle spoke with People recently in an exclusive interview to talk about how her son’s death has brought their family a little bit closer together.

Janelle said that despite being quite busy, all of her children have made respective efforts to connect with one another. However, the “adults” (likely Kody and the “other” wives and former wives) try to live their “separate lives.” That being said, Janelle and Kody have been in touch in the last few months as they have grieved.

Janelle noted in the interview that she and Kody will check in on each other, but said that Kody is “grieving in his own way”. She also said that she lives a very “separate” life from her estranged husband, but does wish him and his separate family well.

Luckily, it looks like Janelle and Christine still enjoy a close “sister wife” relationship. Janelle said that she is still close with Christine despite having “very different” lives. It’s good to hear, considering what Janelle must be going through in the wake of her son’s death.

Farrah Abraham Slams Tyler Baltierra

Farrah Abraham tore into her former MTV series costar Tyler Baltierra for issuing what she deemed an insincere apology. What’s the big deal and why all the drama? Here’s the story.

Farrah went off on Tyler for apologizing for his previous comments against her. According to In Touch Weekly, Tyler had originally sided with the network their TV show aired on (MTV) when a decision was made to boot Farrah for her personal decision to make a pornographic film.

Apparently, Farrah took offense at Tyler’s apology because it wasn’t made in person. She branded his entire message as insincere. In Touch reported that her own response read, “If I wasn’t there, it wasn’t authentic.”

Farrah called Tyler’s attempt to apologize “clout chasing” and framed it as little more than a means of saving face. She also heavily implied the apology was timed to help promote the Teen Mom finale. Tyler’s actual apology came out as a part of a question and answer session he did on Instagram Stories.

Tyler Also Makes Adult Content

Interestingly, Tyler also recently got involved on OnlyFans himself, sharing pictures of his body while documenting his weight loss and general fitness activities.

Tyler posted about his OnlyFans page around the same time he issued his apology to Farrah. He also casually implied that his own use of the platform was less scandalous than hers.

In defense of his activities on the platform, he stated, “I didn’t go to a porn production company, hire adult film stars & crew, have sex on camera, pretend that it was some ‘leaked’ personal footage, or make genital molds to sell! It’s just a wife sharing photos of her husband, that’s literally it!”

Farrah didn’t take too kindly to the news that Tyler was on Onlyfans. According to In Touch Weekly, she made her opinion on the matter clear on Instagram. She noted the hypocrisy of the network for firing her while allowing other stars on the same show to remain despite doing pretty much the same thing she had done.

Tyler Never Supported Farrah

When Farrah was first fired from the Teen Mom series, it was very clearly because of her involvement in the adult film industry. The producer allegedly gave her an ultimatum between being on the show or continuing her adult film work. Farrah chose to walk away from the network.

Back when Farrah was forced off the network, Tyler was a lot less supportive of her decisions. According to In Touch, he claimed her lifestyle didn’t mesh with what the rest of her former costars were doing.

Tyler hadn’t stopped at just supporting the network, though. He made things personal by pointing out that he didn’t think she was a very nice person to be around.

In Farrah’s defense, Tyler’s apology didn’t come off as particularly heartfelt. He continued to point out her faults and claimed she treated people badly when she was working with MTV.

According to TV Shows Ace, Tyler also went so far as to call Farrah a liar for claiming her adult film was a home video. It seems unlikely that Tyler will ever apologize to Farrah face to face.

How Julia Roberts’ Feud With Brother Eric Roberts Began

Julia Roberts is among the most famous and beloved actresses in Hollywood. Since breaking out in the 1990 film “Pretty Woman,” she has won numerous awards over the years and her films have grossed billions of dollars.

However, off the screen, she’s been in a long feud with her brother, actor Eric Roberts. This has been going on since the 1980s. According to You, Eric believes that his addiction to drugs like cocaine helped to push the family apart.

The relationship hit another major snag in 1993 when Eric and his ex, Kelly Cunningham, were in a custody battle over his daughter, Emma. For those unfamiliar, Emma has gone on to become a successful actress, as well.

Instead of siding with her brother, Julia sided with his ex. She even helped to pay some of her legal fees during the case. As a result, the pair didn’t speak for around a decade.

But in 2004, Today reported that when Julia gave birth to twins, Eric and his wife dropped off gifts for the children at the hospital. They were allegedly greeted with open arms. By this point, he was in a better place and had gotten assistance for his substance abuse issues.

Eric Wants to End the Feud

Unfortunately, in 2018, Eric once again reignited the flame when he told Vanity Fair, “If it wasn’t for me, there would be no Julia Roberts and no Emma Roberts as celebrities, as actresses, and I’m very proud of that”. This is a very bold statement. It discredits everything his sister and daughter have done, as he essentially takes credit for turning them into who they are today.

He received quite a bit of backlash for these words from the public and the media alike. However, a few years later, Eric has had a change of heart. He tried to put an end to the feud when he released his memoir titled “Runaway Train: Or, The Story of my Life So Far” in mid-September 2024.

In the memoir, he said that his past claims were “asinine,” according to People Magazine. He said it was not only an unfortunate choice of words but also simply untrue.

He added that while he was proud of her, he turned the pride so that it would be to his own advantage. Eric also said in the book that he hopes Julia will accept his public apology.

RELATED: Are JLo and Ben Affleck Actually Getting Divorced?

Independent reported that, in a recent episode of the “Still Here Hollywood” podcast, Eric revealed that both Julia and Emma have asked him to not talk about them. Unfortunately, this is something that he hasn’t done.

While it remains to be seen if Julia will accept his apology, Eric is ready to move forward as a family.

Robyn Brown Speaks Out Against Show

Sister Wives was one of TLC’s most popular shows, but today nearly everyone in the Brown family has gone their separate ways. New details on the family’s drama are also coming out on an almost daily basis. Now, Robyn is speaking out about her relationship with Kody and Janelle is snapping back.

Robyn Brown’s Accusations

Robyn recently took to Instagram to answer some questions. She did so in an Instagram reel with questions sent in by TLC producers to hype up the final season of the show. 

After a few questions about how she would describe herself and giving advice to her younger self, Robyn was asked to talk about something fans don’t know about her. She responded by saying that she “is not made for television” and that it’s “not my gig.” 

While Robyn was just one part of Sister Wives, it is sad to hear that she does not like being in front of the camera. However, there are many people starring in reality TV shows who do not enjoy it and are simply there for a paycheck. 

However, Robyn’s comments raise questions about whether or not she was forced to do the show by Kody and his other wives. It’s clear that Robyn wasn’t always happy on the show, but she is the only one who still remains with Kody.

The comments on the reel were pretty brutal with many posters blaming her for the failure of the other women’s marriages. One commenter wrote “You’re not misunderstood, you wrecked 3 marriages” while another said, “She’s been unlikable since day one. She never wanted polygamy, she wanted fame and Kody alone – and she’s gotten it.” Even if there is some truth to those statements, Kody is equally responsible for his failed relationships. 

Sister Wives’ Star Janelle Brown Claps Back

On a recent episode of Sister Wives, Janelle claims that Kody and Robyn still owe her money. Janelle officially split from Kody in 2022 and was the second wife to do so following Christine

The two were married for nearly 30 years and in that time managed to rack up some debt that Janelle feels Kody should pay for. 

Money is a point of argument in nearly all relationships, but navigating a divorce with multiple wives has to be extremely complicated. Depending on the state, assets and debts are usually split equally between partners. 

The current argument primarily stems from ownership of Kody’s house, which he lives in with Robyn. The couple recently put the home up for sale, but Janelle and the other wives feel like they are entitled to a portion of the sale. 

Each of the women contributed to the purchase of the house, but only Kody and Robyn’s name is on the deed. Robyn commented on the dispute in a recent episode and said it would be difficult to figure out who is owed what. 

Things appear to be escalating as Janelle is now threatening to pursue legal action and take Kody to court. How that will pan out isn’t clear, but it appears that this couple’s saga is far from over. 

DWTS ’ Gleb Savchenko Addresses Brooks Nader Dating Rumors

Photo credit: Gleb Savchenko/Instagram

Rumors have been circulating for weeks that “Dancing With The Stars” contestants Gleb Savchenko (41) and Brooks Nader (27) are in a relationship. Their chemistry is certainly noticeable. 

It doesn’t help that Brooks said that she felt “electric chemistry” with Gleb during their rehearsals. Brooks’ TikTok account has also featured a few videos of those rehearsals, and one can’t deny that they’re at least a little bit on the flirty side. According to reports via a “source” to The U.S. Sun, Brooks has said that Gleb is in “love” with her and that it isn’t clear if Brooks is joking or not.

However, Brooks has recently decided to clear the air about the relationship rumors with her dance mate. Her statement came via E! News shortly ahead of the Season 33 premiere of “Dancing With The Stars” that took place on September 17.

Who are Gleb Savchenko and Brooks Nader?

Gleb is a Russian-American professional dancer and choreographer, as well as an occasional model. The Moscow-born 41-year-old has partnered with Brooks Nader for “Dancing With The Stars” this season. Luckily for Brooks, it seems like Gleb has quite a lot of experience as a dancer.

Brooks Nader is an American model, known for her work in Sports Illustrated. She has since become a Covergirl for the magazine. Brooks doesn’t have much in the way of professional dance experience.

Putting The Gleb and Brooks Dating Rumors To Bed

About three months after the model was suspected of dating the Greek prince Constantine Alexios and weeks after dating rumors sparked over her partnership with Gleb, Brooks confirmed that she isn’t actually dating anyone: She is 100% single, and, apparently, it is a new development.

“I’m newly single, so the lyrics are super liberating,” Brooks told E! News.

The lyrics she referenced are from Britney Spears’ hit “Piece Of Me”, which she and Gleb danced to in the first episode of “Dancing With The Stars”.

Brooks went on to say that she has “unfinished business” with dance, noting that back in her teen years she was a part of the dance team at her high school. She ended up dropping out of dance to pursue modeling. 

That being said, Brooks didn’t shy away from complimenting her attractive dance partner. In the quick interview with E! News, Brooks said that there was nothing wrong with having a “flirtatious” vibe with her partner and that he is “so hot.”

Gleb Savchenko Said Brooks is a ‘Great’ Partner

Gleb also had a few words to say about the dating rumors, and it looks like he confirmed Brooks’ sentiments. He seems to have his eye on the prize more than anything; that prize being the coveted Mirrorball Trophy that goes to the winner of “Dancing With The Stars”.

Gleb confirmed with Page Six that the pair have a strictly professional partnership as competitors. He also noted that Brooks is a “great” partner and that they have fantastic chemistry while dancing. He did confirm, though, that the two are not in a romantic relationship.

It looks like the pair really are not dating at all. Still, their chemistry while dancing together is quite palpable.

Is Robyn Brown Going to Leave Kody?

Ever since Christine Brown left the family, fans of Sister Wives have watched Kody’s other wives get the courage to walk away. That is except Robyn, but the cracks may be showing.

Fans regularly take to Reddit to discuss the chances of Robyn leaving Kody. Earlier this year, fans noted that Robyn had changed the way she talked about her husband. She would usually paint him in a positive light and try to explain what he really meant when he would say things. She wanted to give off this picture of happiness, covering up the cracks that she claimed not to see at first.

When Christine shared that she was leaving, Robyn talked about how she didn’t realize there were problems with Kody and his other wives. That has all changed.

Fans Believe Robyn Brown Is Painting Herself as a Victim

Robyn has talked less about Kody and more about herself in her marriage. Fans point out that she is now playing the victim, although they also say that they don’t believe her.

Fans are starting to fear that Robyn will paint Kody as a much darker man. It looks like she is getting ready to step away from her second husband, and there’s a chance that she will follow Christine in being the victim of narcissistic abuse.

Friends are even worried about Robyn because they are starting to view Kody as an abusive man. They see him as someone turning into Robyn’s first husband, David Preston Jessup, and they don’t want that for her.

Sister Wives Season 19 May See the End to Robyn and Kody’s Marriage

The trailer for Sister Wives Season 19 certainly made it look like there was a break coming. At one point in the trailer, released back in August, Robyn said “this is not the way it was supposed to go.” With Christine, Janelle, and Meri now all living their own lives, Robyn claims that she is the one who got left behind.

According to The Sun, a source close to the TLC stars shared that Robyn and Kody are no longer in a happy marriage. Things worked when there were three other wives for Kody to turn to, but it’s not working as a monogamous relationship now.

The biggest issue is Kody’s anger. He is angry at the world and at everyone who allowed his other marriages to fall apart. Robyn is the only one facing the brunt of all of that, leading to her no longer being happy with her husband. She is seeing another side to him, and it looks like she wants out.

The source also claimed that Kody is controlling a lot of Robyn’s life right now. She’s gone from being in control of her own destiny to a submissive woman, and that is taking its toll on her. Robyn used to talk on the phone with friends, and she used to visit friends a lot. While that had to take a step back during the pandemic, Robyn was able to start getting back to things when the world started to open up. However, with Christine, Janelle, and Meri leaving, Robyn has closed in on herself, and friends believe that Kody is to blame.

If things continue, friends believe that Robyn will walk away from Kody.

50 Cent Trolls Diddy’s Arrest

Photo credit: 50 Cent/Instagram

Diddy’s recent arrest came as no surprise to many people as his insane parties, known as “freak offs,” were associated with illicit activities. For years there were rumors of Diddy assaulting women and engaging in relationships with underage girls

With Diddy now in prison, many of his former friends and associates are scrubbing their social media accounts and distancing themselves from the disgraced music mogul. However, 50 Cent appears to be relishing in Diddy’s downfall

50 Cent Speaks Out About Diddy

Following Diddy’s arrest, rapper 50 Cent wasted no time in trolling him on Instagram. The post was a picture of 50 Cent and Drew Barrymore with the caption “Here I am keeping good company with @thedrewbarrymoreshow and I don’t have 1,000 bottles of lube at the house.”

The post was a clear jab at Diddy and the reports that Homeland Security agents found over 1,000 bottles of lube during the raid on his home back in March. One commenter responded to the post saying, “ Diddy got more oil than Saudi Arabia.” 

Diddy has a long history of legal issues, including both civil and criminal suits. Over the last few years, a wave of women have come out accusing Diddy of sexual assault and other crimes

Of course, the most serious accusations against Diddy began surfacing after Homeland Security raided his homes back in March. Then, on September 16 he was arrested and charged with sex trafficking and racketeering. 

Diddy is currently being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Manhattan, where he will likely remain until his trial. Funnily enough, this is the same prison that R. Kelly went to when he awaited trial. 

50 Cent and Diddy’s Feud

While the allegations against Diddy are very serious and must be treated as such, it is hard to not get a laugh out of him having over 1,000 bottles of lube in his house. 

In fact, the post by 50 Cent is just one of thousands who are making their way around social media. Countless videos and memes take aim at the bottles and why Diddy needed so many. 

As for 50 Cent, he has never been on good terms with Diddy. Their feud seemingly dates back to the early 2000s when 50 Cent released a song that pinned the death of Biggie Smalls on Diddy. Since then, the two have traded barbs at each other countless times. 

Things really heated up at the end of 2023 when 50 Cent began work on a documentary about Diddy’s criminal activity. He even pledged to donate all of the money made from the movie to sexual assault victims. 

50 Cent has also taken the time to call out other celebrities who previously partied with Diddy. Numerous celebrities including Pink and Usher have wiped their social media accounts in the wake of Diddy’s arrest while not speaking out against the accusations. 

50 Cent is clearly frustrated that few people in Hollywood and the music world have called out Diddy, but many of these people are scared they may be the next target of investigators. 

Ina Garten Reveals Separation from Husband Jeffrey

Ina Garten has published a brand new memoir detailing all that she has been through over the years. In particular, Ina goes into her union with her husband Jeffrey Garten and how they couldn’t stay together for a long time.

RELATED: Halle Berry Files for Sole Custody

People Magazine reported that her book “Be Ready When the Luck Happens” describes their separation in full. Ina explains just how close her marriage came to falling apart and why. Here’s her story.

Ina Wanted a Divorce 

Ina has been especially candid regarding her complicated relationship with her husband Jeffrey in her latest memoir. She revealed that she had actually contemplated asking him for a divorce outright, but hesitated and chose to ask for a separation instead.

According to People, Ina specifically chose to ask for a separation because she still loved Jeffrey and never intended to hurt him. She admitted that she knew she would need to be on her own for a while, but she never specified how long their separation would need to last. Ina wasn’t sure if it would last forever.

Jeffrey was surprisingly understanding and left Ina to herself while he returned to Washington to work. Now, Ina is glad she did what she did at the time.

People reported her saying of the matter, “Thank god I did. I think how crazy that was and how dangerous it was, but we wouldn’t have the relationship we have now if I hadn’t done it.”

Ina Was Obsessed With Her Work 

Ina explained in her memoir that the traditional family roles she and Jeffrey had lived by were shattered when she purchased Barefoot Contessa. According to People, Ina perceived all of her daily actions as those of a businesswoman from that moment onward. She no longer had time to think about being a wife.

RELATED: Steve and Marjorie Harvey Marriage Update

As far as Ina was concerned, every single moment of her life was about her work. She considered her husband little more than a distraction when he came to visit on the weekends.

People quoted her, mentioning, “Jeffrey was fully formed and living the life he wanted to live. I wasn’t, and I wouldn’t be able to figure out who I was or what I wanted unless I was on my own.”

Ina Told Jeffrey to Get Therapy

Apparently, Ina didn’t stop with wanting Jeffrey to disappear. According to People, she told him he needed therapy and would have to commit to seeing a therapist to have her back in his life.

Amazingly, Jeffrey took her challenge and went to a therapist for an hour. Ina said that he understood everything after that. That was also enough to convince her that he was serious about making their relationship work, no matter what.

Her words on the matter were, “Jeffrey’s willingness to see the therapist was as significant as anything that might happen during their session. He was that determined to convince me he was serious about making our marriage work.”

Angela Simmons’ Tragic Life Experiences

Anyone who’s lost a loved one tragically knows that the pain might lessen with time, but it never really goes away. 

Nobody knows that pain more than Growing Up Hip Hop star Angela Simmons. The real truth is Angela is still facing her pain today, six years after her former fiancé, Sutton Tennyson, was fatally injured with a weapon outside his garage in southwest Atlanta.

Sutton was also the father of Angela’s 8-year-old son, Sutton Joseph Tennyson Jr., and thankfully, according to a BET report published last year, young Sutton is flourishing.

Controversy About Angela Simmons’ Firearm-Shaped Purse 

But Angela is continually forced to remember the tragedy, as Distractify reported on July 2, 2024. Did you hear about the controversy with Angela’s purse at this year’s BET Awards?

Billboard reported what happened, and shockingly, Angela was forced to apologize for one of her designer accessories this year. 

According to Billboard, Angela posed with a purse shaped like a firearm on the BET Awards red carpet.” Distractify offered a more specific description of how Angela “arrived on the red carpet carrying a crystal-encrusted [firearm-shaped] purse.” They also wrote about a ton of shade that Angela received from social media critics.

Someone commented online that Angela “could have [done] without that damn clutch.” Another person complained, “Really, girl?! Wasn’t your baby daddy… never mind.” However, other people defended Angela.

A supporter wrote, “[Firearms] are not always used for violence.” They added, “It’s for protection. Women keep [firearms] on them to feel safe. You guys are reaching.”

Angela Said ‘… I’m Not Violent’ 

Angela didn’t back away from setting the record straight. Billboard wrote that she “posted a video explaining her wardrobe accessory choice.” Here’s what Angela had to say.

She explained in her video that she’d seen “a lot of conversation around the purse.” While she claimed that she doesn’t usually address “rumors and stuff,” Angela revealed, “I’m not like that. I’ve never been like that. I’m not violent.”

Angela reminded people that she’s “obviously been through a lot in my personal life when it comes to [firearm] violence,” and she confessed, “It’s very personal to me.” Then, Angela gave her honest side of the story.

She confessed that she “just liked the bag” and thought “it was cool and a fashion moment.” Angela finished with, “That was it. I didn’t have any intentions of ruffling anyone’s feathers… I’m sorry if it bothered anyone.”

Angela Simmons Was ‘Satisfied With The Ruling’ Of Man, Michael, Who Took Her Baby Father’s Life

In April 2022, People.com reported that the man who took Sutton’s life had received “life in prison.” It was obviously another reminder for Angela, who “reportedly gave emotional testimony before the court on the Friday” before the man got sentenced. He won’t be eligible for parole for more than 30 years.

People.com revealed how the news was bittersweet for Angela. They wrote that she was “satisfied with the ruling,” and Angela was able to celebrate the news on Instagram with “sentimental photos” of her with Sutton and their son and “a sweet throwback picture” of Sutton “holding their son on his shoulders.” 

Angela triumphantly captioned the images with “Justice served today! We got you!” Along with a red heart emoji.

The man who took Sutton’s life on November 3, 2018, is Michael Williams. People.com wrote that they had “an alleged argument” before Michael pointed a weapon at Sutton and fired it “over a dozen” times. Sutton was only 37 when he passed away.

Following her tragedy, Angela posted “touching tributes” to Sutton on social media. People.com also described how Angela “captioned a series of family shots” with a “thank you” to Sutton “for leaving behind my greatest gift.”

Angela Simmons Speaks About Tragedy On The Tamron Hall Show

Angela was a special guest on the Tamron Hall Show two years ago. Tamron revealed that Angela had “inspired” the episode with her “body positivity,” and Tamron also revealed to Angela and the audience why she wanted to “get [Angela] on this show.”

Tamron took Angela back to that “devastating tragedy” in her life, but Tamron said, “I didn’t want to talk about the tragedy.” She praised Angela for her “resilience” after losing the father of her child when Sutton Jr. was “only two years old.” Then, Angela revealed her real truth.

Angela said that when she “first heard the news,” she “couldn’t accept… or understand it.” She confessed, “Then, all of a sudden, I was numb.” 

She further revealed that she’d never understood “what it was like to physically feel [that] numb.” Angela added that she couldn’t feel her body, and that feeling was so distressing to her that she knew she had to “immediately go to therapy… the next day.”

Angela told Tamron that therapy “is an ongoing thing,” and she bravely confessed, “Without therapy, I don’t think I’d be standing here.”

The Heartbreaking Moment Angela Told Her Son About Death Of His Father, Sutton 

In January 2020, People.com reported on Angela’s most painful conversation with her son about their shared tragedy. As People.com wrote, Angela was “still mourning the loss of her ex-fiancé,” and the conversation that she revealed is shocking.

The moment took place on a Growing Up Hip Hop episode. Angela “broke down in tears recalling the day she had to explain” to Sutton Jr. that his father had passed away.

During the episode, Angela was talking to her life coach. Her son was three then, and Angela said he’d started “mentioning his dad,” so she asked Sutton Jr. if he “wanted to see photos.” 

After she showed her son “videos and pictures and stuff,” Angela said Sutton Jr. just “stopped.” Then, her son asked her a devastating question, and People.com wrote that it “stopped her in her tracks.” 

How Angela’s Son Handled The Devastating News About His Father’s Death

The question that Angela was not expecting from her son was if his dad was still “alive.” Imagine the emotion that overwhelmed Angela when she had to explain to Sutton Jr., “No.”

It’s heartbreaking to hear Angela tell her life coach how she “struggled” with “gently” explaining the tragedy to Sutton Jr. “in a way he would understand.”

She admitted that she approached this difficult conversation in her “own way,” explaining to her son that his dad was “in heaven… with God… all the great things.” After she revealed this to her life coach, it became too much for Angela.

People.com wrote that she broke into tears as she described how her son laid his head on her chest and told her he “was sad.” Angela further explained that she’d never seen her son so “emotional.” She added, “He’s a happy kid, and that whole day, he was just kind of mopey and sad.”

Angela’s Emotional Tribute About Sutton 

Distractify quoted a 2018 report from Boston25News.com that Sutton was “shot 13 times with a .45 caliber” weapon “at around 5 pm” the day he passed. Shockingly, the “perpetrator,” Michael, left Sutton deceased “inside an open garage.” 

Distractify also confirmed that Angela deleted her social media post from November 4, 2018. That post included Angela’s emotional tribute and her thanks to Sutton for leaving her with Sutton Jr., her “greatest gift.”

Angela also thanked her fans and followers “for the outpouring of love” in that post. Then, she revealed her shock at having to say, “Rest In Peace, Sutton.” Angela bravely promised him twice that she would “hold SJ down in every way.”

Why Angela Simmons And Sutton Weren’t On Best Of Terms Before He Died 

People.com reported that Michael turned himself in to the police on November 7, 2018. Unfortunately, Sutton and Angela had not been in the best place before he passed away.

Distractify quoted a report by the Daily Mail that mentioned a “court date on October 30, 2018.” Sutton and Angela were trying to settle a monthly custody payment for their son. Sutton was also fighting for joint custody after Angela was awarded “temporary custody over Sutton Jr. in July 2018.”

Allegedly, Sutton may have been mistreating Angela when they were together, and rumors about this grew in December 2017 when “Angela reportedly filed for an order of protection” against Sutton.

Angela’s court filing seemed to coincide with her calling off her engagement to Sutton. She’s kept the details of this unfortunate situation private, but Distractify reported that Angela did drop a bombshell on a Growing Up Hip Hop episode several years ago.

Distractify took the information from a report by Entertainment Tonight. While they confirmed that Angela “didn’t name” the person who’d mistreated her, some rumors claim she was “referring to” Sutton.

Sadly, Angela confessed, “I never thought this would be me.” She explained that she’d suffered “years” of verbal and emotional mistreatment by a former partner. She added how she “felt so stuck because I thought it would get better, and it didn’t.”

It was heartbreaking when Angela admitted to feeling “like used goods.” Shockingly, she thought, “Who wants me after I’ve been through this?” Angela revealed, “It’s not easy.”

King Charles Reaction To Prince Andrew’s Epstein Interview

In 2019, the world changed for the Royal Family. Prince Andrew went on Newsnight with Emily Maitlis to talk about his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein. That turned into a PR nightmare for the Royal Family, and eyes turned on how the more important members of the family would react.

King Charles is now in charge, and according to News Week, Maitlis shares that “somebody close” to King Charles said that he was “not unhappy” with the way the interview went. However, he has remained silent on the subject when it comes to the public.

What Did King Charles Mean By ‘Not Unhappy’?

Maitlis doesn’t quite understand what the phrasing “not unhappy” really meant. It’s possible that he simply meant that it wouldn’t be viewed as being treasonous or that there wouldn’t be any backlash. At the same time, Maitlis wonders whether it could mean that King Charles believes that the interview served its purpose.

The interview came at a time as the world was losing Queen Elizabeth II. Her son stepped up into the role of King, and this offered a restart for the relationship between the new monarch and the people of Great Britain. It’s possible that the interview with Prince Andrew opened the door for that new relationship, as the dirty laundry was out and the focus could be on not keeping secrets from the people.

King Charles Is Distancing Himself from Prince Andrew

It is clear that the relationship between Charles and Andrew has taken on a different turn of events. In recent weeks, King Charles has cut the funding for the private security on the Royal Lodge, Prince Andrew’s home and was formerly the home of the late Queen Mother. The King is attempting to get Prince Andrew to move to Frogmore Cottage, which was the home of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, but the Prince is choosing not to right now.

King Charles is reportedly “beyond frustrated” with his brother for refusing to leave the home, According to Fox News. He does want to solve what has been labeled as “the Prince Andrew problem,” according to The Times, but it is proving more difficult that he would like. Prince Andrew continues to dig his heels in despite knowing the public is against him.

King Charles also originally removed all Royal duties from Andrew’s list of tasks. There were even signs that he was no longer invited to some family functions, although that is starting to change. He is now allowed back for family activities, but he remains out of Royal duties for the time being.

As of now, Prince Andrew still holds the title Duke of York, but there is a Parliamentary bill aimed at removing that. Prince William has also avoided being seen in public with his uncle, although he does attend private family events that he is in attendance at.

The Royal Family continues to remain unable to cut all ties to Prince Andrew despite the scandal. There are questions why, and it doesn’t help that King Charles is battling cancer right now. He is frustrated and looking to solve the problem, though.
