Why Kate Gosselin Did This to Her Kids

Kate Gosselin is known for being fame-hungry. But not everyone realizes that outside of TV, she’s an even worse parent. Now, her kids are revealing a terrifying situation that was once a secret that ended with the cops getting called.

You’ll never believe everything she’s done to her kids. After Kate’s son Collin decided to speak out against his mom, pretty much everyone immediately turned on her. It became clear that Kate had not been a good mom to Collin at all.

From physically and psychologically harming him to sending him away and cutting him off from the rest of the family, what she supposedly did to him was just horrible. She claimed that she did all this because Collin needed help.

But is that really what happened?

Even if she did only have his best interest at heart, that still doesn’t mean she was a good mom. Especially since it wasn’t just Collin that she allegedly mistreated. All her kids seem to have suffered at different points because of Kate.

The Children Allegedly Didn’t Want to Be on TV

For example, she allegedly forced them to be on TV, even though they didn’t want that. Jon talked about this in his 2020 interview with Dr. Oz. He claimed his kids told him that they felt like they were forced to film because Kate wanted them to provide a certain kind of lifestyle for her.

Jon said: “They don’t want to film. They said they have to film. That’s heartbreaking. Why do my kids need to provide for themselves? They’re kids.”

That’s honestly a good point. Filming kids for TV is pretty controversial. A lot of people think that it’s exploitative.

That might not always be the case, depending on your point of view. But it for sure seems to be the case here.

If the kids actually said that they didn’t want to film but were still forced to, then that’s pretty messed up. It just makes it look like Kate cares more about money and fame than her children.

But there’s more. Like I said, the way Kate treated Collin was just awful.

A couple of years ago, the Daily Mail obtained a crazy report from 2018, which was submitted to the Court of Common Pleas of Berks County, Pennsylvania. This report included details about how Kate treated Collin. What it said was shocking.

Collin reportedly told his therapist that Kate would treat him differently than the other kids. She would allegedly do really harmful things.

For example, she would zip-tie him to a chair or force him to sleep in small, enclosed spaces. She would also isolate him from his siblings and call him a bad child.

Collin has since gone on record to say that he wasn’t a perfect kid. He was just a normal kid who would sometimes misbehave, as would his siblings.

Kate and Jon Had the Police Called on Them

But honestly, even if Collin was a really troubled kid, that would still not make Kate’s treatment of him okay. I mean, he supposedly suffered from PTSD because of what she did to him. That’s just horrible.

If it’s all true, then that makes her a terrible mom. Honestly, even if she treated all her other kids well, the fact that she allegedly did this to Collin means that she’s just not a good mom.

No good parent would treat their child like this, no matter what problems they may or may not have. It’s no wonder that Collin and Hannah seem much happier now that they’re living with their dad.

Speaking of Hannah, in 2017, Kate did something so shocking to her daughter that the police had to intervene. Reportedly, Jon and Kate were at the dentist’s office with Hannah.

What happened is that Hannah said that she wanted to go home with Jon after her appointment. She didn’t want to go to Kate’s place.

That seems like a pretty reasonable thing for a kid to request. She wanted to spend time with her dad – so what?

That doesn’t sound like the end of the world, except it supposedly made Kate really upset. She and Jon started arguing, and it got so bad that Jon had to call the police on Kate.

Later, a spokesperson for the Wyomissing Police Department spoke to ET. They said that the two of them had been arguing over custody, and it escalated. This all happened while they were still at the dentist’s office.

So, not only did Kate blow up in a crazy way. She also did it in public just because her daughter wanted to go home with her dad.

Jon’s Mom Was Scared by the Argument

Jon’s mom was supposedly there, too. She saw the whole thing and later spoke to In Touch about it. She was quoted as saying: “I would never have believed that a scene could be so horrible until I witnessed the custody exchange myself.”

It’s crazy that even an adult witnessing that argument was kind of scarred by it. Again, I just can’t help but feel bad for Hannah.

Jon’s mom also said this about Kate: “Kate thinks there is nothing wrong with her, so she would never subject herself to going to therapy. But she needs psychological help.”

That’s a pretty crazy thing for someone to say. But honestly, if all these reports and allegations about Kate are true, then I would have to agree with Jon’s mom.

There’s no shame in going to therapy. I feel like it could potentially be good for Kate. It would probably also be really good for her kids.

I’m sure that despite all these crazy incidents, she does genuinely care about them. It’s possible that she just doesn’t realize how hurtful her behavior is.

She might even think that she’s being completely reasonable and justified in her actions. But to me, it just doesn’t seem like it.

Kate Keeps the Kids Away from Jon

Jon’s mom also told In Touch that Kate isolated the kids from Jon. Jon has said this himself as well.

He hasn’t spoken to some of his kids in years, which must be hard for him. It sounds like it’s most likely all Kate’s fault.

Jon’s mom described something crazy to In Touch. She said that Hannah told her that Kate would make all the kids chant that they would not go see Jon.

That’s right – she made them refer to their own dad as Jon. They had to promise that they wouldn’t visit him.

I know that Kate has her own issues with her ex-husband, but it’s pretty insane that she allegedly does things like this.

Kids need their parents. It’s not healthy for them to be dragged into petty fights like this.

Jon agrees with this. In 2022, he spoke to ET and said that Kate keeping him away from their kids was a poor parenting decision.

I obviously agree with that. But there’s more.

Jon also told Entertainment Tonight that Kate should watch out for what she’s saying because he has evidence of her behavior. It could all come back and hurt her.

Kate later fired back in her own statement. She said that Jon was violent but didn’t really have any evidence for her claim. Jon seems to have that, which I think speaks volumes.

Hannah Gosselin Speaks Out On Kate

Hannah Gosselin opened up about where she stands with her mom, Kate Gosselin, in an exclusive interview with Entertainment Tonight

In the interview, Hannah was asked if her mom had met her boyfriend, Lennon, yet. The 19-year-old told ET, “Well, yeah. She’s my mom. We talk about school, and we talk about life.”

She also talked about their recent estrangement. Kate and Hannah were estranged for years before reportedly repairing their relationship in 2022. Kate attended the high school graduation of both Hannah and Colin in June of 2023, but they had a falling out again after Hannah and Colin spoke out about their mom in VICE’s docu-series, the Dark Side of the 2000s.

RELATED: How Kate Gosselin Stole from Her Kids

She went on to talk about her relationship with Lennon. Hannah first met her boyfriend through mutual friends. After realizing they had a connection, they started dating in August 2022. 

They celebrated their anniversary last year. According to Us Weekly, the young couple have even started a YouTube channel together called Lennon & Hannah. 

In a recent interview, Hannah made it clear that despite being in a pretty public first relationship, she had no intention of letting anyone else’s opinions dictate her relationship. She said, “I mean, obviously everybody has an opinion, and I’m open to listening to everybody’s opinion.” However, she went on to add, “But at the end of the day, my choices are my choices.”

She described Lennon as being “very kind” and said, “He’s really big on being the best version of yourself you can be.” Hannah felt that this had a positive impact on her, adding, “I think he makes me a good version of myself. And he has big dreams, and I love him.”

Kate Made Sure the Kids Didn’t Spend Time Together

Hannah did not say in the interview how Lennon’s first meeting with Kate actually went, and it’s unknown what her mom thinks of the couple. But the rest of her family have been very open about their feelings regarding Lennon. 

Her father, Jon, was also part of the ET interview and was very honest about his thoughts on his daughter’s boyfriend. He said of Lennon, “He’s alright,” and added that he thought that the two of them “have a lot in common”. 

Hannah then chimed in to clarify, “He gets along with Lennon. Don’t pretend that you don’t.” She went on to reveal that Lennon and Jon talked all the time but admitted that this might be because she wasn’t very good at picking up the phone.

Hannah also mentioned that Lennon had been getting to know other members of her family, too. She said that her grandmother, Pamela Costello, had also given the couple her blessing. 

Hannah said, “Oh, she actually likes Lennon. He sat, and he held the umbrella for her while it rained, and they talked. They get along.”

Hannah’s mother and father filed for divorce almost 15 years ago after the end of their TV show Jon & Kate Plus 8. At first, Kate had custody of all of their kids, but in 2018 their son Collin moved in with Jon, followed by Hannah the following year. 

An inside source later told Us Weekly that Kate had “definitely spent a lot of time making sure the kids don’t spend time together.” They went on to add that Kate was “really upset Hannah chose to live with Jon.”

These days, Hannah and Lennon live in Pennsylvania, where she is reportedly majoring in business administration, and he is studying cybersecurity.

Why Mady Gosselin Turned On Kate

Mady Gosselin was always seen as Kate’s puppet. But now, it looks like she might finally be becoming aware of her mom’s manipulative ways.

Mady has always been known as the one kid who is completely on her mom’s side. From what we know, she hasn’t spoken to her dad in years.

She has also called out her brother Collin for his shady behavior. Collin has been speaking out against Kate for a while now.

RELATED: How Kate Gosselin Stole from Her Kids

So, it just seems like Mady is team Kate all the way. But is that actually the case?

Last year, Mady did a bunch of TikTok Lives with her sister, Hannah. Hannah is another one of Mady’s siblings who’s been on her dad’s side. So, it’s shocking that she and Mady got together publicly like that.

I mean, I can’t imagine Kate was happy about that. She’s always seemed super controlling, especially when it comes to Mady.

Kate Snapped at Mady on TV

The Daily Mail reported on an interview that Kate, Mady, and Cara did together. The interview happened back in 2014 but went viral again about two years ago. Kate’s behavior in the resurfaced clip was shocking.

Kate, Mady, and Cara were on the Today show. They were asked a bunch of different questions by the host, Savannah Guthrie.

At one point, Savannah addressed Mady directly. Savannah asked: “Mady, what would you want to say about how your sister and your family are doing?”

That was a pretty loaded question. Mady probably knew that she was under a lot of pressure to answer that correctly without upsetting Kate. So, she stumbled at first.

She actually seemed really nervous. What she needed at that moment was support.

You’d think, since she had her mom and sister with her, that would’ve been easy for them to do. Kate could’ve just encouraged Mady kindly. I’m sure even just a friendly smile would’ve gone a long way.

But that’s not what Kate did at all. Instead, she seemingly got angry almost immediately.

She snapped at Mady and said: “Mady. Use your words. It’s your chance, spit it out.” What’s more, she also snapped her fingers at her.

It came across as super aggressive. The atmosphere turned uncomfortable pretty quickly after that.

Mady shot her mom a very interesting look. It seemed like she was upset at Kate, which would be completely understandable. But she didn’t say anything back to her.

Maybe she was scared or didn’t want to cause a scene. Either way, the interview turned really awkward because of this.

It’s no wonder that when the video resurfaced, many started calling Kate out for her controlling behavior. Kate really seemed like she just wanted Mady to be her puppet.

Mady Shaded Her Parents on TikTok

It feels like this has been a thing for a long time. But maybe it’s all finally over. Just a few years ago, Mady did something really shocking on her social media. In a TikTok, she dropped a potential hint about how she really felt about her mom.

The short video showed Mady with her eyes closed. Olivia Rodrigo’s song Enough for You was playing in the background.

The lyrics that could be heard in the video were: “And maybe I’m just not as interesting as the girls you had before.” But Mady wrote her own message over the video. She said: “How I sleep knowing that I can’t relate to this lyric because I had an extremely unconventional childhood AND I have ADHD.”

In the caption under the video, Mady admitted that maybe she was a little too interesting. A lot of people found this kind of shocking because it almost seemed like Mady was calling out her parents, which would include Kate.

I mean, she said that her childhood was extremely unconventional. That doesn’t necessarily have to be a bad thing. But it’s also not a super positive statement.

I can’t help but wonder if she was throwing shade with that part of her post. Was she trying to say that she maybe would’ve preferred a more normal childhood? Was that a dig at her parents?

Between this post and her and Hannah’s later TikTok Lives, I feel like maybe Mady is starting to see through Kate’s toxic and manipulative behavior.

But then what does that mean for her going forward? I don’t think Kate’s going to let her just get away with all this.

Collin Allegedly Threatened the Family

Just look at how she blew up at her when she was only 14, and they were on TV. If she was willing to act like that in public, imagine what she must be like in private.

There’s probably a reason why Hannah said that she always wanted to live with her dad. Kate’s behavior can be really toxic sometimes. I feel like that would especially be the case if she wasn’t happy with her kids’ behavior.

Hopefully, if Mady does decide to stand up to Kate, she’ll be able to deal with Kate’s potentially mean response. I’m sure that Hannah would be there for her if things started falling apart for Mady. Although, after what she said about Collin last year, who knows?

In the summer of 2023, Mady took to her Instagram, where she made a crazy statement. She said that she never wanted to speak up about this, but she felt like she had to set the record straight. Then, she wrote: “I do not owe my allegiance to any person who has physically threatened me and every member of my immediate family.”

RELATED: The Shocking Downfall of Kate Gosselin

It seemed clear from her post that she was referring to Collin, which was pretty shocking. Especially since she added that some of those alleged threatening incidents happened as recently as the year before she made this post.

Mady said something else in her statement. She said: “I will never allow someone who has exhibited hateful and even violent behavior toward others based on their racial identity, gender identity, or religious beliefs to be in my life.”

This caused quite a stir online. Mady later said that she had empathy for Collin and his situation. But she made it clear that she suffered at his hands.

Mady and Collin Haven’t Spoken in Years

So, it’s clear that their relationship is pretty difficult. It’s also, most likely, pretty much nonexistent.

Someone on Reddit pointed out that Mady and Collin probably haven’t talked to each other since he was about 12 years old. That’s actually one of the reasons why not everyone was convinced by Mady’s post.

Because if she hasn’t talked to him in so long, how can she hold all those things against him? Maybe he just made mistakes when he was a young kid. He could have changed since then.

Although she did mention that some of the aggressive incidents were pretty recent. It is also possible that while she might’ve not communicated with him personally, word of his behavior got to her. She just knew that she didn’t want to have someone like that in her life.

Honestly, I feel like there’s just a lot that we don’t know about this situation.

What we do know is that the fallout of this led to Mady deleting all of her Instagram posts. Apparently, she got a lot of hate for what she said. Some people also accused her of being brainwashed by Kate.

But honestly, I’m not even convinced she is fully on Kate’s side. She’s definitely done things over the last few years that Kate wouldn’t have necessarily approved of.

So, maybe Mady sees fault with both her parents, and she’s no longer team Kate all the way. But honestly, it’s hard to say whether that’s the case.

There’s just so much we don’t know about this situation. So, all we can really do is speculate.

Billy Ray Is Jealous of Miley

Billy Ray Cyrus is allegedly insanely jealous of his daughter, Miley Cyrus, and the rumors keep getting crazier. Billy Ray’s ex-wife, Tish, has made shocking claims about him. She’s alleging that Hannah Montana made him even worse.

There’s been major shade thrown at Billy Ray—and the truth is pretty twisted.

It was the talk of the 2024 Grammy Awards—or at least one of the things that everyone was talking about. Miley won her first Grammy, and who she DIDN’T mention in her acceptance speech got everyone’s attention.

The Hollywood Reporter was one of the many media outlets to discuss a “possible estrangement” between Billy Ray and Miley and how Miley’s fans picked up on it because of her acceptance speech. Miley didn’t just forget to mention her dad—she joked about it.

She said: “I don’t think I forgot anyone, but I might have forgotten underwear.” That blunt honesty sounds like typical Miley. She looked and sounded fantastic when she performed her hit song “Flowers” on the Grammy stage.

Miley’s mom, Tish, and her sister, Brandi, were glowing when they talked to Entertainment Tonight on the Grammys red carpet this year. Tish also seems happier than ever since her marriage to actor Dominic Purcell.

People.com quoted Tish as saying: “He just encourages me to fly. He is just like, ‘You’re the funniest, you’re the prettiest, you’re the sweetest, you’re the this… just show the world who you are.”

Tish and Brandi Opened up on the Call Her Daddy Podcast

Billy Ray looks so strange these days that it’s gotten some crazy comments on Reddit forums. On the Pop Culture Chat community on Reddit, a thread is titled: “Billy Ray Cyrus please blink twice if you need help.”

One Redditor asked why Billy Ray and Firerose always look like they’re being “hypnotized.” Another joked that Billy Ray “looks like he’s being propped up Weekend at Bernie’s style.”

However, one commenter wondered if Billy Ray’s “blank, emotionless look” is some kind of trend right now. Maybe he is having a midlife crisis, trying to look hip next to his wife, who is 27 years younger.

Tish and Brandi recently appeared on the Call Her Daddy podcast with host Alex Cooper. Tish threw major shade at her ex-husband. She was unbelievably honest about falling out of love with Billy Ray. 

The craziest part of that episode was what Tish had to say about Billy Ray’s feelings toward Miley. Tish looked pretty relaxed on the Call Her Daddy couch as she dished on Billy Ray’s alleged reaction to Miley’s Hannah Montana success.

Alex specifically asked Tish about a 2011 GQ article, when Billy Ray alleged that Hannah Montana had “destroyed” the Cyrus family. Alex asked Tish if that was the case.

Tish claimed that her family was in rough shape financially before Hannah Montana. She alleged that she got Billy Ray the job on Hannah Montana, and the show actually saved their family.

Tish told Alex that when Miley got the Hannah role, the casting directors were joking around and saying: “Too bad we can’t afford her real dad.” Tish told those casting directors: “Oh, maybe you can.” She had to convince Billy Ray to audition for the role, but she knew it would allow the family to live together in California.

Billy Ray Tried to Steal Miley’s Spotlight

When Billy Ray appeared on The Kelly Clarkson Show, he revealed some things. First, he showed that he wasn’t too hip when he set the record straight on his “Old Town Road” collaboration with Lil  Nas X.

Billy Ray even admitted that Tish got him the “Old Town Road” gig, too. He said that Tish told him that Lil Nas X had put the song “Old Town Road” on TikTok, and Billy Ray said to her, “What’s TikTok?”

He also confessed that his role on Hannah Montana got him the gig on “Old Town Road” because Lil Nas X grew up watching the show. Billy Ray never looked like he hated doing Hannah Montana while on the show.

Inside sources have been throwing shade at Billy Ray ever since he did that GQ interview alleging that Hannah Montana “destroyed” his family. After the GQ interview, an article appeared in Us Weekly and set the record straight.

Us Weekly alleged that multiple sources came forward with shocking information. The sources claimed Billy Ray was insanely jealous of Miley back then. If this was the truth, Billy Ray was actually trying to steal the Hannah Montana spotlight away from Miley.

One Us Weekly source threw major shade at Billy, accusing him of “ulterior motives.” Another source alleged that Billy Ray “was always upset he didn’t get as much attention as Miley.” A third insider claimed, “Let’s face it: Hannah Montana revived his career.”

As for Billy Ray, it’s weird how he doesn’t seem to care about setting the record straight. E! News reported that Billy Ray posted a “cryptic message” online after Miley left him out of her Grammys acceptance speech. Billy Ray posted an Instagram photo of him and Firerose with the message, “Love is the answer.” 

Miley Is in No Hurry to Burry the Hatchet

Billy Ray posted this on February 6th, a day after Miley went on Instagram with more shout-outs after her huge victory at the awards show.

Once again, Miley did not mention her dad. It’s getting to the point that fans think she’s in no hurry to bury the hatchet between them. Miley wrote: “To my mommy @tishcyruspurcell, I love you more than anything in the entire universe.” 

Miley also thanked her sister, Brandi, and her famous godmother, Dolly Parton. She wrote to Dolly, “I felt your fairy dust everywhere.”

Tish talked about love on the Call Her Daddy podcast, but once again, she seemed to be throwing shade at Billy Ray’s idea of what love is. She told Alex that she learned what real love is from her parents. Tish said: “I never saw them disrespect one another ever.”

RELATED: Reba Speaks Out on Ex Husband

Tish also claims that “there’s not one second” she doesn’t feel loved by Dominic. Shockingly, Tish has revealed to other sources that Billy Ray wasn’t faithful to her during their marriage.

While Brandi didn’t come right out and say it, she came pretty close to siding with Tish on the Call Her Daddy podcast. Brandi told Alex: “I never first-hand saw anything go down by any means.” But she did admit that she was in New York once when Billy Ray was doing Broadway.

She shockingly said: “It opened my eyes to see some of the things that he was doing.” Brandi confessed: “It was hurtful to see him doing it to her. It was hurtful to see him hiding it from me.”

Mike the Situation and Wife Welcome 3rd Baby

The ‘situation’ at home just got a lot busier for Jersey Shore star Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino. He and his wife, Lauren, welcomed baby number three on Wednesday, March 6th.

Their third child is a girl named Luna Lucia Sorrentino. Mike and Lauren celebrated her arrival in a joint Instagram post on March 7th.

They included happy family photos taken at the hospital after Luna arrived, and Lauren and Mike captioned their post, “Gym Tan Situation Family of 5!” One of the photos shows Mike cradling his new girl in the delivery room.

Baby Luna is swaddled up and wearing a beanie with a sweet bow. Mike is still dressed in hospital scrubs and wearing a hair net, and you can tell that he’s grinning happily behind his face mask.

Mike and Lauren wrote that they were overjoyed “to announce the newest member of our growing Italian family.” Their announcement included Luna’s birth time, 3:49 p.m., and her birth weight, 5 pounds, 6 ounces. They even mentioned how long little Luna is: 18.25 inches!

Their social media post concluded, “3 under 3 will be quite the situation, but we wouldn’t have it any other way.”

Mike and Lauren Shared that “Good Things Come in Threes”

Entertainment Tonight reported the baby news and a brief history of the Sorrentino family. Mike and Lauren got married in November 2018, and their first child is their son, Romeo, who is now two years old.

In September 2023, Mike and Lauren shared that they were expecting Luna. Their joint Instagram announcement included a sweet photo of Lauren with her baby bump and their second child, daughter Mia, along with sonograms. Little Mia was born in January 2023.

Mike and Lauren captioned their third pregnancy announcement, “Good things come in threes, adding another pumpkin to our patch. Baby #3 coming March 2024.”

Page Six reported that Mike and Lauren have been together since their college days. They had actually planned to start their family the year after they got married, but the young couple faced a devastating setback.

Before they were blessed with their son, Lauren and Mike suffered a miscarriage that they admitted was a “real difficult” experience. They appeared on ABC’s “Strahan, Sara and Keke” show in 2019, and Lauren confessed how she was feeling.

Lauren said, “I didn’t want to hold this in. I wanted to share it for other people going through it and just be honest, so I can kind of heal through the process.”

Us Weekly interviewed Lauren and Mike in 2020. She shared that her devastating pregnancy loss brought her and Mike “closer” together.

Mike Has Been Sober for 8 Years

Mike celebrated another number recently. In December 2023, he reached eight successful years on his sobriety journey. In an interview with ET, Mike revealed that he still faces temptations. This is especially true when filming his reality show, Jersey Shore: Family Vacation.

He told ET, “I mean, there are always temptations,” but Mike said that when he thought about it, “I’m like, ‘Oh my god…’ I can’t believe I’ve come so far.” Mike claimed he had “the secret sauce.” In a nod to Lauren and his kids, Mike admitted, “What’s working for me is God and family.”

But Mike also confessed that a bit of vanity helped him, too. He told ET that when he looked at his healthy body in the mirror, “I’m like, “Wow, I’m just a tough ‘SOB,’” and he laughed about that.

Mike and the Jersey Shore gang are adding many new members to their “family.” Page Six counted down the number of kids that each star currently has.

Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi is mom to two boys and a girl. Jenni “JWoww” Farley has a boy and a girl. Deena Nicole Cortese has two boys, while DJ Pauly D and Ronnie Ortiz-Magro both have a daughter.

Jelly Roll Family Update

39-year-old Jelly Roll has talked to many media outlets about his country music superstardom and his “stellar year” in 2023. However, he now claims he’s been “spread too thin.”

He believes it’s time to “get back to his family.” People reported that Jelly Roll has “big plans” to spend time with his daughter Bailee Ann and son Noah Buddy. 

His wife, Bunnie XO, has been Jelly’s “plus one” at many awards shows and other celebrity events. But it’s clear that Jelly Roll wants to be home with her more often, too. Jelly Roll talked to Katie Neal on the Audacy Katie & Company’s Power Hour in early February. 

He told Katie and her listeners that while he plans to “put out a bunch more music,” he also wants to “spend more time with my daughter.” Jelly Roll confessed on air, “I gotta get back to my family a little bit.”

He explained that the cost of having a “stellar year” meant he had to sacrifice “a little bit of personal time with the family.” Then, Jelly Roll claimed, “I’m just spread so thin,” and added that he wants to get back “in the bunker with them.” 

Bailee Ann is a teenager now, and her mother is a former girlfriend of Jelly Roll. His daughter was born 15 years ago when Jelly Roll was serving time in prison. His son Noah is 7 years old, and Jelly Roll had a casual relationship with his mother. 

Jelly Roll and Bunnie XO have reported that they have a good relationship with both women.

Bailee Has Issues with Jelly Roll’s Facial Tattoos

In a People exclusive last December, Jelly Roll talked about the impact on his life and career when he discovered he was becoming a father in 2008. Jelly Roll said, “Man, the single most impactful event of my entire life was having my daughter.” He added, “It changed everything.”

Faith and Christianity are very important in Jelly Roll’s life. He told People that being a father is so important to him as well.  He also talked about being “as present as he can” for Bailee, referring to biblical scripture and describing fatherhood as “kind of that moment for me.”

According to People, Jelly Roll is often asked about his prominent facial tattoos. His facial tattoos have special meanings. Jelly Roll told People that Bailee’s name is tattooed on the side of his head, and Noah’s name is tattooed on the side of his face.

However, he admitted that Bailee has an issue with where her tattoo is located. He told People, “She picks on me about it all the time.” 

Jelly Roll said Bailee is always teasing him, saying, “How did my brother get your face and I got the side of the head?” Jelly Roll explained that he “used to rock the undercut” and that hairstyle involved shaving the side of his head. 

He added, “If I shave the side of my head, you see it.” He claimed that Bailee’s tattoo is “huge” and “takes the whole side of his head up.”

Jelly Roll Said That Having His Daughter Changed Him

Jelly Roll’s kids don’t appear on his social media too often. Bunnie XO has revealed that Noah’s mom wants to maintain his privacy. 

Jelly Roll has given emotional interviews about his family, as he did with Entertainment Tonight after the CMT Awards last year. Following wins in three categories at the CMTs, Jelly Roll broke down talking to ET.

He said that Bailee “knows the story. She knows how real it is,” and proclaimed, “I’m just proud of her.” Jelly Roll sweetly said, “I love you, Bailee Ann, so much. I thought about it the moment I walked off stage.” 

He repeated how much having his daughter changed him “in so many ways,” and Jelly Roll said his victories at the CMTs were “just unreal.” He added, “This is bigger than just a single award for us. We came from nothing.”

After her difficult divorce in 2016, Mary J Blige struggled for years with the idea of love. But in recent interviews, the singer revealed that she had managed to find love again after heartache. 

She was on TODAY with Hoda & Jenna to promote her new single, the aptly named “Still Believe in Love.” Mary told the hosts that the song perfectly represented her new outlook. 

She explained that love was “the only way she’s able to be her own company.” The 53-year-old shared that she had learned to believe in love for herself, and was “not going to give up on love.” She referred to her past, saying, “I’m not going to let a bad relationship or a bad marriage stop me from having a good life and having romance.”

So although she learned the important lesson of loving herself and being happy alone, Mary was happy to admit that she still wanted to find someone. She talked about “getting the hugs that she wants and the desire and kisses” during her interview with Today. “I want a man! I want love, I want it all, and I’m not going to let my past stop me from that,” she added. 

In a separate interview on CBS Mornings, Mary suggested that she had already made that wish come true. She shared that she was currently head over heels for someone, saying, “I am in love. I believe I deserve a good relationship. With myself. With a partner.”

She added that believing in love was what made it come to you. She would continue to believe in love and romance while also believing in herself. 

Mary Explained That She Is “Not Single”

Mary recently gave other updates about her dating life. In an interview with V-103’s Big Tigger, she was asked about her relationship status.

She replied without any ambiguity that she was “not single.” However, she refused to reveal who her new love was, and only said, “I’m happily doing what I’m doing”. 

It would have been easy for Mary to be less hopeful about love after leaving her marriage to ex-husband Kendu Isaacs behind. The pair married in 2003 before splitting up 13 years later, only finalizing their divorce in 2016. 

Mary filed for divorce on the grounds of irreconcilable differences. Later, however, she claimed that Kendu had been unfaithful to her and had even stolen from her.

Essence magazine reported that Kendu had allegedly cheated on Mary with her one-time musical protege Starshell. When the divorce was finalized, Mary was left responsible for paying Kendu $30,000 a month in alimony payments. In a 2021 interview, Mary said that her divorce was the moment that she felt like she was “at the bottom”. 

Thankfully, in the years since Mary has been able to see the light at the end of the tunnel. And whoever her new mystery partner is, we all hope they’re everything she’s been looking for in love.

Christine Brown Speaks Out About Garrison

Christine Brown has finally spoken out about the loss of Garrison on her Instagram. Garrison Brown passed away earlier this week at age 25.

Janelle, Garrison’s biological mom, and Kody shared a joint statement after the tragic event. Meri shared an altered version of the same message, but for the first time, Christine is speaking out about the loss.

All of the sister wives raised the Brown kids together. However, Christine was particularly close with Janelle’s kids due to Janelle working outside of the home, while Christine stayed home and raised all of the kids.

In her post, Christine shared a video of Garrison and Truely building a flower bed together. The footage was first shared in an episode of Sister Wives. Christine explained that Garrison had called her to ask if he could build Truely a flower bed for her birthday since the family wasn’t able to celebrate together due to the pandemic.

In the clip, she noted that she was surprised with how quickly Garrison had completed the project. Doing a similar project with Kody would’ve taken much longer. She was even more surprised when it only took him 23 minutes to do.

Now, just a few years later, Christine is sharing what appears to be family footage from that day. The video is a timelapse of Garrison and Truely doing the project together.

The caption reads: “Garrison was a wonderful, caring brother who understood Truely’s need for a hobby and built her a flower bed. We’ll miss him forever. #gratitude #missyou #loveyou #tellthoseyoulovethatyoulovethem”

Very Few Family Members Have Spoken About Garrison’s Passing

Christine isn’t the only member of the family who’s spoken out either. Janelle and Kody originally shared a joint statement just a few hours after the news was confirmed by TMZ. Since then, Janelle has shared another post about Garrison.

The photo was from Christmas just a few months ago. It featured all of Janelle’s biological children, their partners, and their own children.

Her caption read: “I had all my children together last Christmas. It was amazing as it’s hard with everyone’s busy lives to coordinate time like this. I am extremely grateful now that we had pictures taken.”

So far, no other members of the family have spoken out about his tragic passing.

Gwendlyn sent a message to her Patreon subscribers letting them know that she would no longer be posting on Patreon a few hours after his passing was announced. She also commented on Christine’s post but referenced the flower bed.

Otherwise, the family has remained completely silent in the aftermath. However, according to The Sun, they are currently filming the next season of Sister Wives, and all of the tragic events from the last week are being documented.

Students Bullied Me Thinking I Was a Janitor – What Happened Next Taught Them a Painful Lesson


I shuffled down the long corridor of the college building, mop in hand, feeling a sense of contentment.

The fluorescent lights hummed softly above me as I moved methodically, the rhythmic swish of the mop echoing through the empty halls. It was late in the evening, the campus deserted save for the occasional straggler hurrying to their next class or lost in the labyrinthine corridors.

As I rounded a corner, I caught sight of two young men approaching—a pair of students, judging by their backpacks and casual attire. I paid them little mind, focused instead on the task at hand. But as they drew nearer, their laughter cut through the silence like a knife.

“Look at this old geezer,” one of them sneered, nudging his companion with a smirk. “Bet he doesn’t even know what day it is.”

The other student snickered, casting a disdainful glance in my direction. “Yeah, and look at the state of this place. You missed a spot, old man!” he jeered, gesturing to the gleaming floor with mock outrage.

The Students Kept On Harassing Me

I felt a flicker of indignation rise within me, but years of humility and grace held me back from retorting. Instead, I offered them a placid smile, refusing to let their words wound me.

But they weren’t finished yet. With a cruel laugh, one of the students lunged forward, snatching the mop from my grasp and sending it clattering to the ground. “Oops, looks like you dropped something, grandpa,” he taunted, his voice dripping with malice.

I bristled at the insult, my patience wearing thin. “That’s enough,” I said firmly, mustering the courage to stand up for myself. “I may be a janitor, but that doesn’t give you the right to treat me with disrespect.”

The students exchanged a knowing glance before the taller one spoke up, his voice laced with arrogance. “Respect? You think you deserve respect?” he scoffed. “You’re just a janitor. We, on the other hand, are the heirs to our grandfather’s company. So you better watch your tone if you know what’s good for you.”

With that, they sauntered off, leaving me standing alone in the empty hallway, my heart heavy with a mix of frustration and sadness. It wasn’t the first time I had been treated poorly because of my station in life, but it still stung all the same.

Their Actions Would Have Far-Reaching Consequences

Later that evening, as I made my way home, I couldn’t shake the encounter from my mind. The arrogance of those young men, the entitlement in their words—it left a bitter taste in my mouth.

But little did they know, their actions would have far-reaching consequences. For you see, the next day, news spread like wildfire across the campus—a family dinner was being held, and the guest of honor was none other than the wealthy patriarch himself, the grandfather of those two insufferable students.

As the dinner unfolded, I watched from the sidelines, a silent observer to the unfolding drama. The tension in the air was palpable as the grandfather cleared his throat, preparing to make an announcement that would change everything.

“My dear family,” he began, his voice grave with solemnity. “I have gathered you all here tonight to discuss the future of our company, a legacy that has been passed down through generations.”

He paused, his gaze sweeping across the room before finally coming to rest on his grandchildren—the very same students who had mocked me just the day before.

“But before I reveal my decision,” he continued, “there is something I must confess.” And with that, he turned to me, a twinkle of mischief in his eyes.

“You see, my friends, this humble janitor before you is not who he seems. He is, in fact, my closest confidant, a man whose character I have come to trust implicitly.”

Gasps filled the room as the truth sank in, the realization dawning on the faces of those who had scorned me. The grandfather’s voice softened as he addressed his grandchildren once more.

They Failed Their Grandfather’s Test

“I tasked him with a simple test—to see if you were worthy of inheriting my company, to see if you possessed the humility and kindness that are the true markers of greatness. And sadly, my dear grandchildren, you have failed.”

The revelation hung heavy in the air, casting a pall over the once jovial atmosphere of the family dinner. The grandfather’s words reverberated through the room, sinking into the hearts of those present like stones dropped into a still pond.

“And so,” the grandfather concluded, his voice heavy with disappointment, “I have made my decision. The company will not be passed on to you. Instead, it will be entrusted to those who have proven themselves worthy—those who understand that true success is measured not in wealth or power, but in the kindness and compassion we show to others.”

The grandchildren sat in stunned silence, their faces a mask of disbelief and indignation. For so long, they had believed themselves to be the rightful heirs to their grandfather’s fortune, their entitlement blinding them to the true measure of success.

But now, faced with the harsh reality of their own shortcomings, they were forced to confront the consequences of their actions. Gone was the arrogant swagger, replaced instead by a sense of bitter disappointment and regret.

One of the students, the taller and more outspoken of the two, clenched his fists in frustration, his jaw set in a stubborn line. He opened his mouth to speak, but no words came—only the hollow echo of his own arrogance, ringing in his ears like a damning indictment of his character.

The other student, once so quick to mock and ridicule, sat with his head bowed in shame, unable to meet the gaze of his grandfather or the janitor whose dignity he had so callously trampled. In that moment, the weight of his own hubris bore down upon him like a burden too heavy to bear.

And as the truth of their grandfather’s decision sank in, the grandchildren were left to grapple with the harsh reality of their own actions—a sobering reminder that true success could never be bought or inherited, but must be earned through humility, kindness, and compassion.

And with that, the fate of the company was sealed, its future entrusted to those who had earned it through their actions and their character alone. As for me, I could only watch in silent satisfaction, grateful for the unexpected turn of events that had brought justice to those who had wronged me.

Kanye Pissed At Ye, Kim Speaks Out Against Bianca

Kim Kardashian recently had something to say about her ex’s new wife. The Daily Mail reported that a source had claimed that Kim spoke to former husband Kanye West about Bianca Censori’s risque wardrobe. It was all allegedly to do with Kim’s concerns about the former couple’s children. 

The source told the Mail, “Kim instructed Kanye to never let Bianca dress like that around her kids.” The source said Kim was “truly surprised” that Kanye let Bianca regularly leave the house in such controversial outfits. Since her unconventional marriage to Kanye in December 2022, Bianca has repeatedly made headlines for her new sense of style.

Kanye and Bianca had a wedding ceremony around a month after his divorce from Kim was finalized. After the news of their alleged wedding got out, Kim didn’t directly respond. However, she did post a message to her social media that was pretty cryptic.

In a post from January 12, which has since been deleted, she wrote that she was in her “quiet girl era.” She went on to write, “I don’t have much to say. Just much to do.” A lot of people took this as her initial reaction to finding out that Kanye had moved on with Bianca.

Kim’s big concern, according to a source speaking to Entertainment Tonight, was that if the marriage was real, Bianca would be in the kids’ lives. Page Six previously reported what Kim’s relationship with Bianca had been like when she was still married to Kanye.

Kim Had to Draw a Line with Bianca

Insiders told Page Six that Kim “hated” Bianca. They claimed that she’d allegedly “always” suspected something between her husband and his employee. Despite this, the Mail reported that Kim and Bianca are now thought to have an amicable relationship.

However, according to this anonymous source, Kim has had to draw a line when it came to how Bianca appeared in front of Kim’s kids. Some reports have suggested that Bianca has previously tried to be more modest in her attire around the children. 

In December last year, the then 28-year-old Bianca was seen carrying Chicago during the launch of Kanye’s Vultures album. The Mail reported that she put on a “rare covered-up display” for the event, which Chicago, North, and Saint attended. 

Kanye took to social media a few days ago to defend his wife’s outfit choices. He also defended his own decisions to post racy pictures of Bianca online. 

He wrote, “Ima post my wife as much as I want bro. It makes me happy. Some people don’t want you to be happy. They want you to make them happy. I decided to make myself happy, and I’m happy with that.” 

However, this is pretty different from how Kanye felt when married to Kim. The same source told The Mail that Kanye “did the same thing” with Kim during their marriage. 

However, unlike Bianca, Kim was allegedly asked to change outfits if Kanye believed that they were showing too much skin. The source explained, “The difference is that when Kanye dressed Kim, he was respected as a person, as an artist.”

They continued, “Unfortunately, Kim knows what Bianca is going through – but she feels Bianca should have known what she was getting into.”

Kanye vs Adidas

Kanye’s recent defense of Bianca’s fashion is just one of many online tirades Kanye has unleashed lately. He has also aimed at his former business partner Adidas. 

Recently, a clip of the rapper talking about his current situation with the footwear giant did the rounds. 

In the video, Kanye claimed that Adidas was “putting out fake colorways” and that they were suing him for 250 million dollars. He also claimed that Adidas wasn’t paying him “for shoes that they’re putting out that have my name on it.”

In a separate post, Kanye doubled down on his Adidas attacks. He shared pictures of the Yeezy sneakers along with a caption in which he wrote, “Anybody who loves Ye would not buy these fake Yeezys.” He went on to describe the “new non-approved 350s” as corny. 

Adidas terminated their deal with Kanye, worth around one and a half billion dollars, after his infamous antisemitic rant in 2022. Earlier that month, the company had stated that they had repeatedly tried “to privately resolve the situation” before cutting ties with Kanye. 

They also claimed that deciding to end their deal with Kanye was likely to have cost them up to 250 million dollars. According to The Mail, Kanye still owns the Yeezy brand, but Adidas pays him an annual royalty fee to sell them.
