Savannah Chrisley and her boyfriend Robert Shiver have been together since September 2023. They recently appeared in public together for the first time when they attended an event for Melodies For Minds in February. It was there that Savannah opened up about her relationship to People, and shared how she really felt about the new man in her life.

She described their relationship as being fantastic. The reality star said that it’d been great, and everything was awesome. She also talked about how having him in her life was a silver lining during the difficult moment that she was going through.

Her parents, Julie and Todd Chrisley have been in prison for over a year now. They were sent there for fraud and tax evasion, with Todd having to serve a 10-year sentence, and Julie a six-year one.

Savannah explained that she was doing her best to look at the positives in her life. She shared that sometimes life would throw curveballs. That stuff sucked, but she had to make the best out of it.

Then she added that some of the most unexpected, greatest gifts came in the worst of times. So that was how she viewed it.

Savannah Is in a Happy Place Right Now

But this wasn’t the first time that Savannah opened up about her new relationship and how happy she is in it. After a month of dating, she told People that she was just so grateful to have such an amazing person in her life, who showed up and loved and cared and was a positive influence on the kids. The kids were her two younger siblings, Grayson and Chloe, whom Savannah was looking after while her parents were doing time.

She went on to say that she was in such a happy place in life, despite all of the negative things that had happened. Savannah’s new romance had shown her that she could find beauty in the ashes, and so for that, wherever it led, she was forever grateful.

At the start of the new year she once again talked about how things were going with Robert on her podcast Unlocked With Savannah Chrisley. In an interview with her older brother Chase, the 26-year-old shared some private details about her relationship.

The Daily Mail reported that she opened up about the unusual name that she’d assigned her 38–38-year-old boyfriend on her cell phone. In a conversation with Chase about their love lives, Savannah revealed that he was saved as Robert Daddy Schiver. She insisted that it was funny.

She told her brother that it all started from a joke that was trending on Instagram at the time and that she was not one of those females who was like- ‘Oh Daddy!’ Savannah went on to explain that even just the thought of calling Robert Daddy made her want to puke. Chase said that he felt in a similar way to his sister, that he was physically ill seeing that name on her phone. 

Todd Doesn’t Want to Meet Robert Yet

When speaking to Entertainment Tonight back in November, Savannah talked a little about what her parents thought of her new partner. Her mom was especially excited to meet Robert. Savannah explained that she’d sent her pictures of them and that she’d heard all the stories, so she was vicariously living through her.

However, when it came to her dad, she revealed that he wasn’t as thrilled about the idea of meeting Robert just yet. Not because he didn’t approve of his daughter’s new love.

According to her, Todd was against it just because he didn’t want Robert to see him in the atmosphere and the environment of prison. Savannah said that she felt like it was more a male pride type of thing.

She finished by saying that she didn’t know if her dad would change his mind, but that hopefully things would go in their favor and her parents would be home sooner than later. In the ET interview, Savannah also shared that she really missed being able to have conversations with her father about her relationships.

She reportedly used to enjoy sharing all the information about how things were going with her boyfriends. Savannah really hoped that she could do that again one day. She explained that she longed for those kinds of conversations, to tell him all the amazing things that were happening within her relationship, and how awesome Robert was.

How he’d responded to certain situations; how he had responded to situations in her life was something that she’d always wanted. She added that they both were very similar, she felt as if he was like the male version of her.

Someone Hired a Hitman on Robert

Like Savannah, Robert has also been through some extremely challenging situations in recent years. According to WDHN, his ex was allegedly involved in a plot to hire a hitman to take his life. Lindsay Shiver was reportedly planning the crime with her alleged lover in the Bahamas after Robert had filed for a divorce.

Local police discovered the pair’s plot while attempting to solve a different crime. Lindsay and two other men were arrested in July 2023 in Guana, where she and Robert shared a holiday home. In January, WDHN reported that Lindsay claimed that her ex wasn’t allowing her to see their 3 sons.

She’d been allowed to return from the Bahamas to her parent’s house in Alabama in late 2023. So, she filed a motion in the Superior Court of Thomas County, Georgia that accused Robert not only of preventing her from seeing the children but also of keeping their whereabouts from her. She said that apart from a Facetime call on Christmas day, she’d not seen or heard from her kids at all. 

While speaking about Robert in her interview with People, Savannah shared that she wanted to have as much respect for him and his situation as possible. Because he had three amazing little boys that were going to have to see and hear things one day.

JLo’s Assistant Exposes Diddy

More “behind the scenes” allegations about Sean “Diddy” Combs are coming to light. On March 28th, reports began to surface that a former assistant of Jennifer Lopez is now exposing him.

RELATED: Aubrey O’ Day Speaks Out on Diddy

JLo’s former assistant is accusing Diddy of “demeaning behavior.” They alleged that Diddy behaved this way throughout JLo’s relationship with him.

Diddy dated JLo for two years over two decades ago. If this is the real truth, Diddy’s “demeaning behavior” has been going on for a very long time.

Diddy Allegedly Got “Creepy” with “Pretty Girls”

The assistant gave examples, like how Diddy “assumed authority” over staff employed by JLo. Diddy allegedly “created discomfort among the women.”

JLo’s former employee claimed Diddy started acting like “the de facto boss” over every staff member. It caused “more frustration than anything else,” especially when Diddy expected all of his tasks to get done immediately.

The assistant explained that “anything [Diddy] wanted, we had to go fetch it.” They felt that was “more annoying than anything.” 

RELATED: Diddy Resurfaces After Police Raids

According to the New York Post, JLo’s former assistant also revealed more disgusting details about Sean Combs. If this is the truth, it’s crazy that JLo stayed with Diddy for as long as she did.

The assistant claimed that Diddy would classify every female employee into two cringeworthy categories. They were judged based on whether or not he was willing to take them to bed. However, if you know a bit about this shocking story, Diddy used an expletive to describe whether the female employees were worthy of his physical attention.

The source told the Post, “Believe it or not, it was better” for a female employee to be undesirable to Diddy. When Diddy didn’t act like he wanted them, he would “just be disrespectful and act like we were there to serve him, like a waitress.”

It can give you chills, but the source claimed that Diddy got “creepy” with the “pretty girls.” Now, the public is wondering if JLo discovered any of these creepy things about Diddy when they were together. 

JLo Knew Diddy Wasn’t Committed to Her

JLo did expose Diddy in 2003 when she was interviewed by Vibe magazine. Shockingly, JLo confessed that she knew Diddy wasn’t committed to her. She even admitted to Vibe that it was “the first time I was with someone who wasn’t faithful.”

When JLo talked about Diddy back then, she called him by his old handle, “Puff,” as in “Puff Daddy.” JLo claimed, “I was in this relationship with Puff where I was totally crying, crazy, and going nuts.” She also admitted, “It really took my whole life in a tailspin.”

JLo made headlines recently when her streaming doc, “The Greatest Love Story Never Told,” was released. According to the Post, JLo gets into “previous tumultuous relationships” in the documentary, causing a lot of speculation.

The Post wrote that JLo mentions “people in my life” in the documentary who said they loved her, but their actions weren’t “in line with the word love.” JLo also admitted, “Being thrown around and manhandled like that is not fun.”

Thankfully, JLo has not yet admitted that she was physically harmed by Diddy, like his ex, Cassie Ventura, has accused in her explosive November 2023 lawsuit. JLo said, “I mean, I was never in a relationship where I got beat up, thank God…” although she is alleging that “other unsavory things” happened, and JLo called that “rough” and “disrespectful.”

Diddy’s Homes Were Raided This Week

This past week, law enforcement agencies on the East and West Coast raided Diddy’s properties in California and Florida. While Diddy has remained silent on Cassie’s lawsuit until now, his lawyer did issue a written statement following the raids.

RELATED: Rumors Surface About Diddy’s Adopted Daughter

Diddy’s lawyer is Aaron Dyer, and he wrote, in part, about the “gross overuse of military-level force as search warrants were executed at Mr. Combs’ residences.” Aaron claimed there was “no excuse for the excessive show of force and hostility” from the authorities during the raids, and Aaron also complained about the way that Diddy’s “children and employees were treated.”

Considering what JLo’s former assistant said about how Diddy allegedly treated her and other former employees, that’s a pretty twisted comment for his lawyer to make.  

Gypsy Rose Announces Divorce

Photo credit: Gypsy Rose Blanchard/Instagram

On March 28th, Gypsy Rose Blanchard announced a shocking separation from her husband, Ryan Scott Anderson. People.com reported the news on March 29th, writing, “Gypsy Rose and her husband have called it quits.” The news is even more surprising because Gypsy Rose was only released from prison three months ago.

Her statement was posted on Thursday to a select group of people. People confirmed that Gypsy Rose’s Facebook account is private, so they obtained access to read what she said.

Gypsy Rose began by writing, “People have been asking what is going on in my life.” Then she dropped the bombshell.

Gypsy Rose confirmed, “unfortunately,” that she and Ryan “are going through a separation.” She also explained that she’d moved in with her “parents” and is now living in their “home down the bayou.”

She sounded thankful for having the support of her family and friends “to help guide me through this.” Gypsy Rose seemed to offer an explanation for why this divorce happened so suddenly.

Gypsy Rose wrote, “I am learning to listen to my heart. Right now, I need time to let myself find… who I am.”

Gypsy Rose Wants to Take Accountability

There’s a strange twist to this story. Earlier in March, Gypsy Rose posted an apology video to TikTok—and then she deleted her public social media accounts. In her video, Gypsy Rose claimed she was sorry to “all the people that I offended with a lack of accountability, the first month or so that I was out of prison.”

She revealed she also showed “a lack of accountability in my interviews.” Gypsy Rose then repeated, “I’m sorry.”

Then she said she was “learning” and added, “I’m saying this right now. I’m taking accountability.” According to Gypsy Rose, she did “a bad thing.” 

RELATED: Why Gypsy Rose is a Master Manipulator

People obtained an explanation from “a source” that Gypsy Rose deleted her social media accounts because her parole officer told her to. The source claimed that Gypsy Rose doesn’t want to get in trouble and go back to jail.

She served over eight years at Chillicothe Correctional Center in Missouri in a plot to end the life of her mom, Dee Dee Blanchard. The act was carried out by Nicholas Godejohn, Gypsy Rose’s ex-boyfriend.

Chillicothe Correctional Center is also the first place where Gypsy Rose met her soon-to-be ex-husband. Ryan began writing letters and mailing them to Gypsy Rose in prison to offer her “comfort and support.”

Gypsy Rose Had Never Lived With a Man Before Ryan

Then, Ryan began visiting Gypsy Rose at the Correctional Center, and their “pen-pal” friendship allegedly grew into love. Gypsy Rose and Ryan got married at the Correctional Center in July 2022. When she received an “early release” from jail last December, Gypsy Rose even claimed that she and Ryan were planning to get married again.

She told People in an exclusive interview, “We do plan on having a reception / redo wedding with all of our family and our friends and the dress and the cake.” Gypsy Rose said, “We deserve that.”

She described her prison wedding as the moment she and Ryan made “our vows to each other,” and claimed, “It was something that meant something to us.” But Gypsy Rose still wanted a real wedding, especially the party. She told People, “The party is kind of for everybody else and us, but mostly for everybody else.”

Last December, Gypsy Rose also claimed to be “excited” to leave prison and move straight in with Ryan. She talked to People about their plans and starting their life together.

Gypsy Rose revealed, “I’ve never lived with a man.” It’s common knowledge that she was kept forcibly confined by her mentally unstable mother. During her trial, Gypsy Rose’s lawyers argued that she was a victim of “Munchausen syndrome by proxy,” a form of child harm where the guardian “exaggerates” or even induces illness to gain the sympathy of others. 

Gypsy Rose confirmed, “I didn’t even grow up with a dad in the house.” She sounded a bit uncertain when she admitted to People, “I don’t even know what it’s like to live with a man.”

Exposing Priscilla Presley Cheating On Elvis

Elvis and Priscilla Presley’s “adult man and underage girl” relationship was criticized during his lifetime, and the real truth about Priscilla’s cheating during their twisted marriage has been exposed.

It’s no secret that Elvis was a legendary womanizer, single or married. But behind closed doors, his unfaithfulness got so bad that Priscilla had enough. Surprisingly, Priscilla found what she was craving in the arms of her former karate instructor, Mike Stone.

Elvis Presley’s Cousin, Billy Smith, Said Priscilla Broke Elvis’ Heart

Elvis allegedly made unbelievable confessions to his cousin, Billy Smith, about how Priscilla had broken his heart. The UK’s Daily Express revealed what Elvis said because Billy dropped the bombshell on his YouTube channel, Elvis Fans Matter.

Elvis and Billy shared a bedroom as children, and Billy belonged to Elvis’s infamous friend group, the Memphis Mafia. 

On Elvis Fans Matter, Billy told his wife, Jo, the shocking confessions that Elvis allegedly made just a few months before the August 1977 heart attack that took his life. Billy said, “I thought, wow, he’s never opened up like this before.”

Strangely, Elvis set the record straight with Billy in his daughter Lisa Marie’s bedroom at his Graceland mansion. At the time, Elvis and Priscilla were divorced but successfully co-parenting Lisa Marie, and Billy even wondered if they might get back together. That’s when Elvis revealed his shocking side of the story.

RELATED: What Happened to Johnny Cash’s First Wife?

Billy alleged that Elvis told him, “I just don’t ever foresee [Priscilla and I] getting back together,” and Elvis claimed, “There were way too many bridges being burned behind me,” and he would “never go down that road again.”

Allegedly, Elvis did confess that he “enjoyed” being married to Priscilla “for a short time.” Still, Billy also alleged that Elvis said he’d “found out” that Priscilla “was seeing another guy,” and Elvis admitted, “It broke my heart.”

There were many shocking bits about Elvis’s confession to Billy, like when he allegedly admitted that his “pride and ego” made him want to take Mike’s life, even though Priscilla knew that Elvis had been unfaithful with many other women.

After Elvis dropped this unbelievable truth bomb, Billy asked Elvis an even crazier question: did he still love Priscilla? While Elvis allegedly told the truth again, it sounded even more unbelievable.

Billy claimed that Elvis still loved Priscilla “like a lot of the women I went with.” Elvis explained, “I love Priscilla and always will in a lot of ways. We’ve got a daughter together, but as far as ever getting back together? That’ll never happen.”

Priscilla Threw Major Shade at Elvis In Her Book

Many years after their divorce, Priscilla told her side of the story in a shocking bestseller called “Elvis and Me.” While Priscilla claimed that she and Elvis still loved each other until he passed away, she also threw major shade at her ex-husband and his allegedly “controlling ways” that drove her to cheat during their marriage.

Priscilla alleged that Elvis played mind games on her when she was still a teenager and he was a decade older. At one point, Priscilla found secret love letters from other women to Elvis, and Priscilla admitted that she was enraged. 

But when Priscilla confronted Elvis about possibly cheating on her, she realized he’d made up a convenient excuse. Over the phone, he told Priscilla that he was “totally innocent” and the girls were “just fans.”

This wasn’t the first time that Elvis allegedly made up an excuse about the cheating rumors, and shockingly, Priscilla claimed, “In the end, I apologized for putting him on the spot.” 

The real truth was that Elvis slept with many “fans” and also with his famous co-stars, including Ann-Margret. At one point, a news story broke that Elvis had proposed to Ann-Margret, and instead of being honest with Priscilla, he sent her back to Memphis and an isolated life at Graceland.

Priscilla Accused Elvis of Kicking Her Out

In her book, Priscilla even accused Elvis of threatening to send her back to her parent’s house to live. She alleged that he told her, “You’re getting a little too aggressive and demanding. It might be a good idea if you visited your parents for a while.”

Priscilla claimed that Elvis “threw her clothes into a suitcase and told an employee to buy her” a plane ticket. When Priscilla began to weep, Elvis said he “hadn’t been serious.” 

She wrote, “I was relieved and happy to be back in his arms. Anything he’d have said would have made sense to me in that moment.”

Although Priscilla was later forced to realize that Elvis was just controlling her, Billy also alleged that Elvis confessed to him privately, “I should never ever have been married. I don’t think I’ll ever go down that road again.”

Michael and Angela Shocking New Update Since Disappearance

Michael Ilesanmi: Lost & Found — Feared for His Life

About a month ago, Angela Deem’s husband, Michael Ilesanmi, disappeared from her home, and was found safe four days later. But based on what’s been happening ever since then, it doesn’t sound like they’re on good terms with each other at all.   

RELATED: What happened to Mike Posner?!

On February 26th, blogger John Yates went Live on his YouTube channel to announce that Michael had been found. Apparently, Michael had called the police and claimed that he’d left Angela because he was allegedly in fear for his life, due to her mistreatment towards him.  

Michael also told police that he didn’t want Angela to know where he was located, for safety reasons. While John was sharing the updates on his livestream, he and his partner, Cody, were actually at Angela’s house with her and her daughters, Skyla and Scottie

Michael & Angela’s Heated Argument About Another Woman

Angela stayed off-screen, but she could be heard very clearly as she told her side of the story to Cody. She revealed that shortly before Michael vanished, they had gotten into an extremely heated argument. 

Angela explained that Michael had supposedly been lying to her about being involved with another woman again. She realized that he didn’t really love her, so she told him to go back to Nigeria, since she wasn’t going to file the paperwork for his permanent green card.

Angela said that right after she mentioned that she wasn’t going to help Michael stay in the United States, he disappeared. She added that the only other option that would allow him to stay in the country would be if he claimed that she had mistreated him.

Michael Ilesanmi’s Wife, Angela, Threatened to Have Him Deported

Angela accused Michael of lying about being afraid of her, as well as how she had treated him. She also said that she was going to do whatever it took to get him deported, and her daughters seemed supportive of her plan. 

Scottie could be heard angrily ranting off-screen about how many times Michael had supposedly taken Angela’s car to go to unknown places without her. She also revealed that on several different occasions, he had reportedly gone out to nightclubs by himself.

Angela Claimed That Michael is a Scammer

Angela confessed that she was upset with herself for not opening her eyes sooner. In her opinion, Michael had been scamming her all along. However, he stayed remarkably quiet about the whole ordeal for the next few days.

On March 1st, reality TV bloggers Kiki and Kibbitz posted a video to their Instagram account that they had allegedly received from Michael. In the clip, he announced that any social media profiles claiming to be him were all fake accounts. 

Michael explained that he wasn’t currently active on any social media platforms. He added that when the time was right, he would be creating an official Instagram account. But aside from that short video, he’s been completely silent lately. 

On the other hand, Angela has been continuously sharing cryptic quotes to her Instagram Story. One of her recent passive-aggressive posts read: “It’s so nice when toxic people stop talking to you. It’s like the trash took itself out.” 

That quote, along with many others she’s been sharing, strongly suggests that she and Michael haven’t spoken to each other lately. But that’s not too surprising, considering the concerning allegations he made about Angela when he talked to the police. 

Divorce Court for Michael & Angela?

For now, it sounds like Angela is planning to file for divorce from Michael. According to In Touch Weekly, she claimed in another of John’s live streams that she had three lawyers ready, and they were allegedly charging $10,000 an hour.

She also mentioned that she has receipts to back up everything she’s said about Michael being a scammer. But even if she does have proof and an expensive legal team, she might not have the best luck in court.

Angela has been acting like she’s the victim in this situation, but it could definitely be the other way around. Her aggressive, harmful behavior towards Michael has been documented for years on 90 Day Fiancé, so it’s possible that his claims about her mistreating him could be true. 

Michael’s future in the United States is still uncertain, especially now that Angela is determined to try to have him deported. But it’s safe to say that they probably won’t be rekindling their relationship anytime soon, if ever. 

Mykelti Addresses Divorce Rumors

Mykelti Brown has slammed rumors about her impending divorce. Rumors started swirling about the Sister Wives star’s relationship with husband Tony Padron a few weeks ago. 

Fans had noticed that Tony had become less and less of a presence on Mykelti’s socials since last Valentine’s Day. Many of the fans were worried that something had happened that Mykelti didn’t want us to know.

However, she has since come out to make her relationship status very clear. Her message on Instagram cleared up any concerns about her 7-year marriage to Tony. She wrote in her Stories, “I’M STILL MARRIED PEOPLE!!!” alongside a photo of her and her partner enjoying lunch together.

The 27-year-old went on to defend her relationship from people gossipping about Tony’s absence from her recent posts. She wrote, “Stop assuming just because he’s not in EVERY. SINGLE. POST. that he’s not mine.”

Before Mykelti closed the case, fans were curious about the length of time she and Tony had gone without posting about each other. On Valentine’s Day, Tony shared an “anime” version of himself online, claiming that his wife thought the picture was “hot”. Mykelti shared a romantic tribute to Tony in which she called him her “forever valentine.” 

Mykelti Recently Lost Her Half-Brother

The couple have been married since 2016, and welcomed their first child, a daughter, together five years later. They didn’t have to wait nearly as long for their next children, with twin sons arriving in November 2022.

It’s great to hear that the couple are still as in love as ever, especially after the recent tragedy that befell Mykelti’s family. InTouch reported that Mykelti was focusing on her kids as she processed her grief over losing her half-brother, Robert Garrison Brown. The former soldier passed away at his own hand earlier this month.

A week after his passing, Mykelti took to Instagram to share a photo of her with her daughter, Avalon. In the caption accompanying the picture, she wrote, “I appreciate the light and happiness this kid of mine brings to every day of my life.”

She went on to add, “What a blessing to have her around. To have her for comfort and for all the hugs.” It was clear how much Mykelti depended on her loved ones to get her through one of the darkest times imaginable. 

RELATED: Garrison Brown Laid to Rest

The day before, she had posted a full tribute to Garrison. She wrote that her “heart breaks for my brother who’s no longer with us.” However, she added that she also “rejoices knowing he’s with his fellow warriors in Valhalla drinking and fighting with Odin.”

She went on to say that Garrison was “the funniest person in the room”, and mourned the fact that her kids would not get to enjoy his company. Despite her heartbreak, it’s a relief to all of her fans to know that Tony is still by her side, if not always in her Instagram Stories.

Hardy Calls Out Beyonce

HARDY has only been “on the Nashville hit record scene” for around four years, although he goes way back in Music City as a songwriter and studio musician. Maybe that’s why HARDY is calling out Beyonce.

Wide Open Country reported what HARDY said about Queen Bey, including the shady comment that he “didn’t see Beyonce at the rodeo.” This comes after Beyonce allegedly shaded the Country Musician Association Awards, although if she did put down the CMAs, Beyonce was pretty classy about it.

As she did social media press for Cowboy Carter, her “allegedly country” themed album, Beyonce claimed that she “developed” the idea for this project after she “faced persecution” in the country community. Many sources, including another report in Wide Open Country, claim that Beyonce “hinted” that this alleged persecution took place at the 2016 CMAs. If you recall what happened that night, Beyonce might have a point.

In an infamous segment during the awards show, Beyonce took to the stage and performed “Daddy Lessons” with the Chicks (formerly the Dixie Chicks, who were still recovering from their George Bush-inspired feud with the late, great Toby Keith). Allegedly, there were calls to boycott the 2016 CMAs because of the Beyonce-Chicks performance, and the backlash was visible during the televised show when one old-school country legend got up and walked out. 

That old-school country dude was Alan Jackson, and his walk-out caused an even bigger controversy. Alan tried to set the record straight, and outlets like Hello reported Alan’s unapologetic comments. Alan said, “I understand the dang television station trying to get the ratings with whatever they think is gonna prop it up,” and he seemed to diss the Beyonce-Chicks performance as a “big event with some other type of artist on there.”

Beyonce Dove into the History of Country Music

Eight years later, as she prepares to release Cowboy Carter, Beyonce wrote a lengthy post on Instagram. Graciously, she said, “I feel honored to be the first Black woman with the number one single on the Hot Country Songs chart. That would not have happened without the outpouring of support from each and every one of you.”

RELATED: Dolly Speaks out on Beyonce

Then, Beyonce took a subtle jab at those old country opinions. She wrote, “My hope is that years from now, the mention of an artist’s race, as it relates to releasing genres of music, will be irrelevant.”

Beyonce clarified it by explaining how her new album had developed over the last five years. That was a few years later than the CMAs, but then Queen Bey dropped the mike. She wrote about “an experience” she had “years ago,” where she did not “feel welcomed… and it was very clear that I wasn’t.”

RELATED: Erykah Badu Calls out Beyonce and Jay-Z

Instead of resentment, Beyonce claimed she had done a “deeper dive into the history of Country music.” She believes music can “unite so many people around the world,” and the current overwhelming success of lead tracks off Cowboy Carter is living proof that Beyonce is right.

HARDY Shaded Beyonce for Being “Inauthentic”

Still, HARDY’s opinion seems to mirror Alan Jackson’s, and according to Wide Open Country, he’s shading Beyonce for allegedly being inauthentic. During a recent performance at the Houston Rodeo, HARDY posted an Instagram comment that received mixed attention and responses.

That’s when he wrote, “Didn’t see Beyonce at the rodeo.” Whether HARDY expected this or not, some commenters defended her, while others appeared to take his side. One commenter posted more of a joke when they wrote, “Paint [HARDY] red and black & call him jumper cables cause he’s startin’ s—t.”

RELATED: Why Beyonce Ditched Gwyneth Paltrow

Someone else came down pretty hard on HARDY when they wrote, in part, “I will never understand any person, especially artists and creative minds, having to tear down other people being creative.” This commenter thought HARDY’s shady putdown was “such an odd concept to me.”

He suggested HARDY stick to making his own music and letting it speak for itself. The commenter finished by saying, “Rise above and do your thing.”

But the haters are out there, especially one who commented that Beyonce thinks she can “take over country just because she’s from Texas.” Then, in all caps, they wrote, “WRONG.”

Beyonce has been through it while promoting her new album, and she’s not taking it lying down. Wide Open Country wrote that Beyonce has “the final word on anyone who doesn’t like her music.”

Because Queen Bey wrote that her new project is more than a country album, she said, “This is a Beyonce album. This is Act II COWBOY CARTER, and I am proud to share it with y’all!”

Hugh Hefner’s Ex-Wife Kimberly Exposes Crystal

Hugh Hefner’s second ex-wife is calling out his widow Crystal. After keeping quiet for a long time, she’s finally had enough and is ready to speak out. Because of that, things aren’t looking great for Crystal right now.

Recently, Crystal has been saying a lot of interesting stuff about the time she spent married to Hugh. Both in her memoir and outside of it. These are things that she never said before he passed away.

RELATED: Kendra Wilkinson Family Update

But it looks like Hugh’s ex-wife Kimberly Conrad isn’t happy with everything that Crystal’s had to say. According to her, some people have been trying to speak their version of of events in the hopes that they could ride the waves of headline relevance and make some cash with it, too. But before we listen to them, we should ask ourselves if we want to live in an environment where people use words like ‘force’ and ‘survive’ loosely.

Just because they’re trying to explain choices they willingly made at one point in their lives. From Kimberly’s point of view, Crystal wasn’t forced to get into a relationship with Hugh and then marry him. Every decision she made regarding him, she made of her own free will. 

It’s crazy that now, all of a sudden, she’s saying that she was forced and wants to drop Hugh’s last name because she just isn’t sure if it’s helping or hurting her. Kimberly’s whole defense was based on the fact that Hugh wasn’t here to defend himself against everything that Crystal was saying.

Hugh Was Allegedly Controlling and Cruel

I guess that’s kind of a fair point. I mean, Crystal could have talked about this when Hugh was still alive.

Instead, she kept quiet, only to pop up 7 years after Hugh passed away to make some wild claims about their marriage. Some people suggested that maybe she did this because she wanted to get back the attention she had lost since Hugh’s passing.

Crystal and Hugh married in 2012, five years before Hugh passed away. Crystal had lived in the Playboy Mansion since 2008. According to her, at the start of their relationship, she was in love with Hugh.

It wasn’t until after they got married that she claimed to have realized that Hugh didn’t exactly have the same feelings as her. According to her book, Only Say Good Things: Surviving Playboy and Finding Myself, she got this idea because of the way he treated her.

Apparently, Hugh was controlling and downright cruel. He also allegedly often made remarks about her weight and made all sorts of weird and crazy demands that she had to fulfill.

Crystal described the experience as a very traumatic one. In her words: “It was very restrictive. I didn’t realize how bad it was until I was away from it for a while.”

It’s normal to wonder why Crystal didn’t leave the marriage if she actually went through all of this. According to her, she didn’t leave Hugh because she felt like she had no way out. Apparently, even though she dreamt of living in a world where she was finally free and happy, she’d never get to live in that world while she was still living at the Playboy Mansion.

Crystal Had a Difficult Childhood

Crystal’s struggle didn’t just start and stop with the way Hugh had treated her. Apparently, she also had to fight her own demons while still married to him.

One of those was the unrealistic beauty standard that she had pushed on herself. According to her, she completely changed everything about herself. She wanted to fit into Hugh’s description of beauty and not her own or anyone else’s.

Crystal explained that part of the reason why she stayed with Hugh as long as she did was because of all that she had gone through while growing up as a child. According to her, her father passed away while she was really young, so it was just her and her mother left.

They didn’t have anything to their names and were completely broke. To exist, they simply made themselves small. It got so bad that at one point in their life, they lived in a single bedroom in a house that had belonged to another family.

When things got to this point, Crystal only had one thought in her mind. Everyone was better than them. But then, when Hugh came around, for the first time in her life, she thought that maybe she was special because she was able to get Hugh’s attention.

The whole point of telling this story for Crystal was to explain that even though she had wanted to get away from Hugh so badly, she couldn’t because she didn’t have the self-worth or self-love to attempt it. Even after Hugh passed away, this was something that took her time to believe. This is why most of the relationships she got into after Hugh’s passing were with manipulative and controlling guys.

Crystal Is in a Much Better Place Now

The only way she was able to get out of the trap that she had found herself in was through years of therapy. During her therapy sessions, she took a lot of notes that helped her unpack all the trauma she had been through in her entire life.

Apparently, she got most of this trauma during her marriage with Hugh, and she never even realized that it was there. If not for therapy, she probably would have never realized.

Although Crystal is almost over what happened during her marriage with Hugh, she believes she still has one last important step to take. That step would be changing her surname from Hefner to Harris. This is the step that she claims is the last thing she has to do for her to truly be herself.

Crystal explained that writing out everything she had been through during her time at the Playboy Mansion was a very liberating step in her journey. According to her, it was time for her to heal and tell the truth. Not only that but to hopefully also help other women who had found themselves trapped in the same trap she was in while she was with Hugh.

In her words, she’s in a much better place in her life right now. Not only does she love herself more, but she’s also in a happy and healthy relationship with a man who truly cares about her and her well-being.

It Took Crystal Years to Deal with Her Trauma

Even though many people believe that Crystal was right to come out and explain her whole ordeal with Hugh, not everyone does. Like, for example, Kimberly.

It seems that she thinks it’s not fair for Crystal to say all these things now, especially since Hugh isn’t here anymore. I see what she means. But at the same time, Crystal has made it clear that it took her years to deal with all her trauma and figure everything out.

On paper, it seems like she’s had plenty of time to say all this before. But in reality, maybe she just wasn’t ready before now.

She needed time to unpack everything that happened to her. That’s pretty normal. And maybe we shouldn’t judge her for that.

Exposing Mary J Blige’s Crazy Ex

Mary J Blige has been through a lot because of her ex-husband Martin “Kendu” Isaacs. She’s kept her struggles a secret for years.

But now, she’s finally opening up about it all. You guys are never going to believe what she went through in the name of love.

Mary and her ex-husband Kendu, whose birth name is Martin, got married in 2003. Just like every other married couple, they thought that they were going to be together forever.

But by the time 2016 rolled around, it became clear to Mary that they were not going to last. Because of this, Mary filed for a divorce and announced that she and Kendu were going their separate ways because of irreconcilable differences between them.

Everybody believed her because she gave us no reason not to. But it turned out that she wasn’t being honest with herself or the rest of us.

With time, everyone got to find out the real reason behind Mary and Kendu’s divorce. The reason was so much worse than them having a difference of opinions.

According to Mary, what had started as a sweet and loving marriage became an extremely toxic relationship. She also revealed that Kendu had been cheating on her for a really long time. This wasn’t even the worst thing that happened to her.

Mary Was Forced to Pay Kendu Spousal Support

When she filed for a divorce from Kendu, she thought that she would finally be free of him and his ways. And maybe, just maybe, she would finally be able to move on and heal from everything. But that wasn’t the case.

Because after everything was said and done, she was forced to pay Kendu spousal support. This came as a major shock to her because she took steps to prevent this at the start of her marriage when she and Kendu signed a prenup that waived any form of spousal support.

Mary’s situation only got worse for her when she was ordered to pay Kendu $30,000 every month to maintain his lifestyle after their divorce was finalized in 2018. After this, Mary’s life only went downhill.

According to her, she started struggling financially just so she could keep up with paying Kendu $30,000 every month. Sometimes, she’d be behind on her rent because of him. She even revealed that she was millions of dollars in debt thanks to this, too.

Those first couple of years after her divorce from him had been finalized were some of the worst ones of her life. According to Mary, she was forced to return to work immediately after her divorce was finalized.

Why? She couldn’t afford to not work because she wouldn’t have the money to pay spousal support. Most importantly, she wouldn’t have any money for herself.

Mary Learned a Lot from That Period of Her Life

Luckily, over the years, she’d built an amazing portfolio for herself. So she was able to book a lot of jobs and gigs.

We’re talking movies, TV shows, singing, paid partnerships, and more. She did all of this just so she could make enough cash.

In her words, the moment her divorce was settled and she was hit with the alimony, she couldn’t believe something like this could happen to her. But she didn’t exactly have the time to sit and think about it.

She had to get to work, and she had to get to work fast. So that was exactly what she did.

Even though this was one of the worst periods of Mary’s life, there were tons of lessons she learned from it. According to her, this made her realize how important it was not to put her life in someone else’s hands.

More importantly, it taught her not to trust someone else with her finances. Now, she’s all over her business and her finances. Feeling helpless is something she never wants to experience in her life ever again.

Mary Had a Really Rough Childhood

She’s experienced a lot of horrible things in her life, starting from her childhood. Mary grew up in poverty. She lived in a pretty rough neighborhood.

Her childhood was anything but rosy. In her words, she grew up in a very angry environment, where her aunts were always mad, hateful, jealous, and full of pride.

Even her relationship with her mom wasn’t the best. According to her, she felt that her mom was really bitter about her musical talents because she had also wanted to be a singer, but that didn’t work out well for her.

Then there was her absentee dad, too. According to her, one day, her father just got up and left their family.

He never looked back. Mary didn’t get the chance to meet him or properly get to know him until many years later after his musical dreams had failed, too.

Even though Mary has built a successful career for herself, it didn’t come without its fair share of struggles. When she released her debut album What’s the 411, she was still living in the same neighborhood she had grown up in.

Even though this album gave her some traction and made her popular enough for people to want to pay to see her and listen to her, not everyone shared the same sentiments. According to her, the people in her neighborhood wanted to end her life because of the success he had gotten.

When Things Got Hard, Mary Turned to God

In her words, she was in hell during the first few months of her career. The only way she knew how to bounce back from this was to pour all her depression into her music.

For her, it was almost like she had to sing for her life. So that was exactly what she did.

But still, her life didn’t become as perfect as she had hoped for it to be. She started feeling depressed again and turned to substances to keep herself going.

When she tried her best to put a stop to her substance addiction, she just replaced it with drinking. According to her, her wake-up call finally came after the passing of Whitney Houston.

But unlike most people, who would get themselves in a rehab center to cope with their addiction, Mary did something completely different. She turned to God. In her words, she decided to pray and seek God, and it worked.

She was able to get past the worst of her addiction. But she still has the occasional drink with her friends.

Moving on to relationships, Mary’s relationship with Kendu wasn’t the only bad relationship she had. Once upon a time, she and Cedric Renard Hailey, aka K-Ci, dated for 12 years. But then, they had to end their relationship because it turned disrespectful and harmful.

Despite everything Mary has been through, she’s still found love again. Not too long ago, she revealed that she’s in love. Although she didn’t reveal much about her new love interest, she made it clear that she’s happy.

Which is honestly good to hear. After all, she’s been through so much.

Amy Slaton Is Losing It

Amy Slaton has been acting really strange on social media lately. Between her weird posts online and the drama surrounding her most recent relationship, people have been really worried about her. The truth behind her bizarre behavior is honestly crazy, so let’s get into it. 

It’s no secret that Amy has gone through some ups and downs lately, especially over the last few months. On New Year’s Eve, she shared a TikTok selfie, which isn’t unusual for her at all. 

But what the caption on her post revealed was seriously insane. Amy explained that she had just had her heart broken and was ringing in the new year as a single woman. In a follow-up video, she confirmed that she and Tony, the guy she’d been dating and living with for a few months, were no longer together.

But what happened next was pretty unsettling. A week later, Amy posted a TikTok that showed a certain type of adult beverage. In two other videos she shared that same night, it was clear that she was under the influence. 

One featured her singing to the camera as she drank another glass that was filled to the brim. That might not have been so alarming if it hadn’t been for Amy’s troubling confession a few weeks earlier. 

In a December interview with People magazine, she admitted that after she and Michael split up, her mental health was at an all-time low. Amy claimed that she was struggling with her emotions more than ever before, which unfortunately affected her boys as well. 

Amy Wanted to Make a Change in Her Life

But she didn’t realize how extreme her mental health issues were until she reached an unexpected boiling point.  It turns out that Amy’s intense fight with her sisters, which was recently shown on 1,000-lb Sisters, was an eye-opening moment for her. She explained that the confrontational behavior was so unlike her, and she didn’t want to feel that angry anymore. 

She decided to make a positive change in her life that was actually really surprising. Amy confessed that she had previously said she’d never go to therapy. But because she knew she needed help, she gave it a chance. 

She added that therapy not only made her happier but gave her answers that she didn’t know she needed. Amy revealed that she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, acute stress disorder, and depression.

She was relieved to learn that there was a reason why she felt the way she did. She was even able to figure out which coping skills worked best for her to maintain her moods. But that wasn’t all. 

Amy also said that she had been prescribed medications by her therapist, to help her deal with her symptoms. She decided that instead of focusing her energy on losing weight in 2024, she would prioritize her mental health instead.

At the time, Amy’s plans for the new year sounded great. She wanted to do what was best for her and her sons. But when she started posting videos of herself under the influence, some of her followers were incredibly nervous.

After Amy first shared a TikTok of herself drinking adult beverages, she posted several similar videos throughout the following weeks. Many social media users discussed whether it was safe for her to be mixing substances with her medications. 

Amy Was Publicly Reminiscing About Her Relationship with Michael

But soon, they had another concern that was truly unbelievable. In the middle of January, Amy shared a couple of videos on TikTok that were downright strange. The posts featured clips and pictures of her and Michael together.

One of the captions mentioned walking down memory lane. But when Amy had spoken to People magazine just a few weeks earlier, she didn’t hold back about how awful her marriage had been.

She claimed that Michael hadn’t shown her any genuine support, kindness, or love. So why was she basically reminiscing about being with him on TikTok?

Even though a lot of Amy’s followers seemed very confused, they left supportive comments on her posts anyway. But between the odd videos and her revelation about being diagnosed with mental health conditions, people were extremely worried. Many social media users said that they hoped that Amy wasn’t trying to numb her emotional pain by using substances. 

Amy Quickly Moved on From Tony

But before long, her behavior took another seriously bizarre turn. At the beginning of February, Amy started dropping hints on TikTok that she had a new guy in her life. One video showed a bouquet of blue roses, her favorite kind of flowers, with a note attached that read: “To my queen,” and was signed ‘Kevin’ at the bottom. 

Unsurprisingly, some of Amy’s followers commented on her post that she was moving pretty quickly. After all, she hadn’t even been separated from Michael for a full year. And it had only been a month since she and Tony had broken up. 

But how Amy responded was so crazy. She replied to a follower by explaining that she and Kevin were going to take their relationship super slowly. 

That was hard to believe, considering she didn’t even wait three months before Tony moved in with her, and she had her sons start calling him “Daddy.” So what happened next wasn’t exactly shocking.

Just a few days later, Amy posted a TikTok of herself standing next to Kevin. In the caption, she thanked him for an amazing first date and even tagged his account.

Kevin Started Showing A Lot of Red Flags

But as soon as people started digging into who Kevin really was, things got ridiculously messy. There was a lot of mystery surrounding Kevin’s identity, but the name he had been going by on his YouTube channel was ‘Mr. Dad.’ 

There weren’t many details about him on his other platforms. But it didn’t take long for people to start noticing some major red flags about him. Before Amy even went on her second date with Kevin, her followers began accusing him of love bombing her. 

On a subreddit for 1,000-Lb. Sisters, a post was made about how he was potentially going to enable Amy’s unhealthy behavior. But what the comment section revealed was honestly outrageous. 

It turns out that Kevin had sent Amy another gift before meeting up with her a second time. He had given her a couple of dolls that resembled the main characters from her favorite horror movie. After alleged mistreatment from Michael, it didn’t take much for Amy to be swept off her feet by Kevin. 

In February, Amy posted a few more videos on TikTok of herself drinking adult beverages. She was slurring her words as she talked about how great Kevin was, and how excited she was to go on another date with him. 

She seemed absolutely head over heels for him already, but the same could not be said about him. Kevin had been sharing very different types of videos on his TikTok. Needless to say, it didn’t look like he was totally committed to Amy. 

In a thread posted on Reddit, people discussed how creepy his behavior was. Apparently, he had been talking to random women online in a disturbingly shady way. 

Kevin Has a History of Talking to Women Online

Kevin mentioned in one TikTok that he was recovering from an infected tattoo, and needed help taking care of things at home. He was looking for a “pretty” woman to come to his house, sign an NDA, and supposedly take care of his garden, chickens, and pigs. 

But that wasn’t the only sketchy request he had made. Amy commented on Kevin’s video and claimed that she wished she could help him. But they had agreed to not meet each other’s kids for a whole year. 

As impressive as that sounded, he had already shared a photo of himself standing next to Amy and two of his kids. The entire situation was so strange, and it unfortunately only got worse. 

Multiple women started commenting on Amy’s posts, and they were all making similar allegations. Screenshots of those accusations were shared in another Reddit thread. What Kevin had reportedly asked them to do was seriously shocking. 

Kevin had allegedly contacted numerous women online offering to buy them first-class plane tickets if they agreed to visit him. Many of the women claimed that his intentions were inappropriate, and they wanted Amy to know what was going on. 

But what she posted next was super alarming. Believe it or not, Amy shared a video on TikTok where she actually defended Kevin against the allegations. 

She also apologized to him for supposedly getting upset about the conversations he had been having with women online. A lot of people felt like Amy’s behavior seemed kind of forced. It was like she might have been manipulated into thinking that she had to post an apology video like that.

Nobody Thought That Kevin Was Good For Amy

Shortly after, Kevin revealed his true feelings in a video of his own, and he did not hold back. Kevin posted a TikTok of himself ranting for several minutes about how Amy’s followers were being rude to him for no reason. He also called out her siblings and claimed that they didn’t even give him a chance before they started acting like haters. 

Needless to say, it seemed like nobody in Amy’s life thought that her relationship with Kevin was healthy. Amy had been acting kind of weird for weeks, but nothing could compare to how anxious and on edge she appeared to be in her next video. 

She posted a TikTok at the end of February, explaining that she was still doing things the right way with Kevin, unlike with Tony. But there was something very troubling about her behavior that was impossible to ignore.

Amy’s video was shared on Reddit, where multiple people discussed how strange her tone of voice and body language was. She had so much nervous energy that she was physically shaking, and her voice was almost trembling as if she was scared or sad. 

Overall, most people mentioned how hopeful they were that she and the boys were okay. But a lot of others brought up how manipulative and controlling Kevin came across in his weird video rants, and they even made an unexpected suggestion.

A surprising amount of people believed that Kevin might have pressured Amy into posting the video, to deflect some of the hate he was getting from her supporters. But even if she hadn’t been acting so stressed in the clip, it wouldn’t have helped much anyway. 

The Couple Announced Their Split

At the beginning of March, Kevin replied to a comment on one of his videos that he had broken up with Amy. When she was asked about him under one of her posts, she all but confirmed they had split up by commenting that she was happy he had never met her sons.

Shortly after, Kevin posted a TikTok where he called Amy inconsiderate and said that they would never even be friends again. He switched his profile to private, which is ironic since he had previously bragged about how many followers he had gained from dating Amy.

Just recently, Amy shared a selfie video on TikTok and wrote in the caption that she was loving her drama-free, single mom life. She also deleted every photo and video that either showed or mentioned Kevin, with the exception of her late Valentine’s Day tribute to him. 

As difficult as the breakup probably was for Amy, her followers have been commenting on her TikTok posts to remind her that she doesn’t need to be with a man to be happy. With everything she’s gone through in the last year, she probably hasn’t healed emotionally, and rushing into different relationships couldn’t have helped. 

Amy said she wanted to prioritize her mental health this year and be the best mom possible for her boys. Hopefully, she’s able to stick to that plan, because her behavior was really concerning for a few months.
