Country music Toby Keith has died, according to a statement released on his website and social media accounts.
He was 62.
“Toby Keith passed away peacefully, last night on February 5th, surrounded by his family. He fought his fight with grace and courage. Please respect the privacy of his family at this time,” read the statement.
Toby announced that he had stomach cancer in June 2022. At that point, he had been battling the disease for six months.
Toby Kept His Cancer Diagnosis a Secret for Six Months
“Last fall I was diagnosed with stomach cancer. I’ve spent the last 6 months receiving chemo, radiation and surgery,” he told fans on X. “So far, so good. I need time to breathe, recover, and relax.”
“I am looking forward to spending this time with my family. But I will see the fans sooner than later. I can’t wait. -T.”
Toby continued to work and received awards while undergoing treatment.
Toby Continued to Work During Treatment
Last September, he was honored with the “Country Icon Award” at the People’s Choice Country Awards, where he also performed.
Last June, he hosted a live auction event to raise funds for the Toby Keith Foundation’s OK Kids Korral, which provides free lodging for children and their families seeking cancer treatment in Oklahoma City.
“I’m feeling pretty good. … I’m about another eight weeks from my last scan. So, I expect next time I look for that tumor to be even less — and I’ve only got one that’s shown up,” Toby told The Oklahoman at the time.
“Basically, everything is in a real positive trend. You never know with cancer, so you have to prepare. But my goal is, I feel better; I’ve got more wind. And I’m thinking about bringing the band in and setting up, playing two or three days somewhere just to see if I can get through two hours,” he added.
He made his return to the stage in Las Vegas in December 2023. “3 sold out shows in Vegas was a damn good way to end the year,” he wrote on Instagram.
Nicole ‘Snooki’ Polizzi recently made a statement about her journey towards self-acceptance in an interview with E! News. Snooki revealed that she had body image issues as a teenager and also struggled with not eating correctly. But Snooki now says, “I don’t care what size I am.”
11-year-old Lorenzo is Snooki’s oldest son. In 2013, she revealed to People.com that she had lost 44 lbs of pregnancy weight.
Snooki claimed she was working with a trainer “four times a week, and we do legs, arms, and everything.” She also said, “after every one-hour workout” with her trainer, she would do an hour of cardio. But Snooki confessed to People, “It wasn’t easy.”
Now 36 years old, the mother of three has grown to accept her body and is focusing more on her happiness and enjoying life. Snooki was a cheerleader in high school and claims that the pressures she felt as a teenager contributed to a lack of self-confidence in her youth. Now, Snooki said she feels more “confident in myself,” and she’s more accepting of any fluctuations in her weight.
Snooki Recalls Her Time on Jersey Shore
Snooki also explained how her weight affected her mindset when she first appeared on Jersey Shore at 21.
She told E! “I wasn’t at my thinnest.” Snooki claims her body weight fluctuates “so much because I’m so short.” Snooki said that gaining five pounds looks like 25 pounds on her since she’s only 4’9”, and after having three children, it’s become that much harder to maintain her weight.
In July 2023, People.com reported that Snooki posted a TikTok video about social media and body image, which went viral. According to People, Snooki blamed trolls on social media who attack other people’s appearances. But Snooki was also open about struggling with weight her entire life.
Snooki recalled how she quote, “wanted to be size zero and so skinny” during her teenage years. But Snooki also claimed in her TikTok video that she began to think, “I’m going to enjoy my life,” when she started Jersey Shore in 2009.
Although she told E! News she wasn’t at her “thinnest” when she first appeared on the hit reality show, Snooki claimed on TikTok that she wasn’t “worrying about what I was eating” and “I enjoyed myself.”
In her video post, Snooki said she was speaking out for herself and anyone on social media who has struggled with a negative body image. “I know it’s an issue for a lot of people. Men, women, it’s an issue, and it’s called weight,” Snooki explained.
Snooki Responds to the Haters
Snooki also spoke to anyone who’s attacked someone else online. She said, “Don’t comment [about] it on the Internet. Because people are sensitive.” Snooki acknowledged people like herself who have struggled with improper eating habits to be thinner and have “trouble with their body and image” before they finally start to love themselves.
She said when online trolls attack these people, “That’s not okay,” and Snooki continued, “You can put people in a hole again after they finally got out of it.”
Snooki now believes that weight “doesn’t matter. As long as you’re a good person and you feel good in your own body,” and she said, “Stop commenting on people’s bodies. It’s not nice.”
Snooki posted the TikTok video on July 19th. People reported that it had been viewed 1.7 million times by the afternoon of July 20th, and a recent viewing shows that Snooki’s video has over 564,000 likes.

News has emerged claiming that Hootie & the Blowfish singer Darius Rucker was arrested on February 1. E! News reported that Darius was arrested and later released by Tennessee police yesterday. According to The Daily Mail, Darius was reportedly transported to a jail facility at 10 am on Thursday.
E! reported that the singer was allegedly charged with substance-related offenses. The charges he faced were allegedly two counts of simple possession and casual exchange.
The North Carolina native is also allegedly accused of driving with an expired registration tag, according to TMZ. His release was confirmed following the posting of a $10,500 bond.
Darius’ lawyers released a statement to E! a short time later. In the statement, the lawyers said that Darius was “fully cooperating with authorities related to misdemeanor charges.”
Fatherhood Helped Darius Leave His Wild Days Behind
The now 57-year-old singer has talked in the past about living a rock and roll lifestyle. In 2013, he said that he had put it all behind him.
In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Darius said, “Trust me, I’ve done enough for everybody. And it’s just not how I want to live anymore.”
Additionally, E! reported that his decision to leave his wilder days behind him was “helped” by becoming a father, which he first did in 1995. He now has three kids, all of whom are grown up.
Darius explained in his LA Times interview, “I’d been on the road with Hootie for so long – every summer, out for three or four months.” He continued, “And then my life was my family and my kids. Trying to switch over from being the rock star to just being Dad was a huge undertaking for me.” He said that the experience had changed his life “abruptly.”
However, becoming a dad reportedly helped Darius switch to country music in order to “write about family more.” He is scheduled to perform in Nashville at the Grand Ole Opry House on Feb 2, Feb 6, and March 12. He is also reportedly planning to reunite with his bandmates from Hootie & the Blowfish later this year.
Other Celebrities Weighed in on Rucker’s Arrest
Following the news of his arrest, several people associated with Darius have shared their take on it. One of them was his former girlfriend, Kate Quigley.
According to The Daily Mail, the comedian did not display a lot of sympathy in her reaction to Darius’ arrest. She responded to a comment on her X page asking if she knew what had happened.
The 42-year-old also took to Instagram to talk about her reaction to Darius’ arrest. She shared a photo of herself with her tongue out, smiling, while lying down in a bikini. In the caption, she wrote, “#mood: when u hear your d-bag ex got arrested… #karma.”
Although he’s been released from jail, it looks like Darius will still have to deal with a lot of fallout, thanks to his run-in with the law.
Welcome to Plathville stars Ethan and Olivia Plath confirmed their split on October 27, 2023 after months of breakup speculation from fans.
Since then, Olivia has deleted all photos of Ethan from her socials. Ethan, on the other hand, kept photos of their relationship on his accounts. In December,InTouch reported that despite officially announcing their separation, the two had yet to file for divorce.
On February 21, 2024, the former couple filed joint divorce paperwork in Carver County, Minnesota, reports US Weekly. They cited an “irretrievable breakdown” as the reason for their divorce and used February 25, 2023 as the date of their separation — months before they announced the news of their separation to the public.
Olivia Recently Spoke Out About Grieving Her Divorce
So, what else is going on with Ethan and Olivia and their divorce? Ahead of the new year, Olivia shared a post on Instagram that alluded to the situation. She also mentioned the tragic loss of her younger brother.
“A while ago I wasn’t sure how this year was going to feel in retrospect because getting divorced, losing a younger brother tragically and questioning everything you know while starting over in life is a lot to have happened in a short time. But the honest truth is that I’m so so thankful for this year. It challenged me, it shook me, it provided time for grief and also gave me room to gain confidence,” she wrote.
“I simultaneously feel like I grew up a lot this year and gained back some youth and child-like wonder and joy,” she added. “My heart grew … a lot. My mind questioned … a lot. And despite everything, or maybe because of everything, my soul feels so vibrant, curious, serene and at home with herself.”
In other words, Olivia seems determined to be moving on while simultaneously grieving her divorce. There are no signs of a reconciliation on the horizon.
It’s worth noting that legal proceedings require time, energy and money – some couples end up staying married on paper until they meet someone new, so that may why Ethan and Olivia waited before filing paperwork.
Interestingly, Olivia could end up keeping her last name. According to Screenrant, Olivia responded to an Instagram comment and implied that she may just remain a Plath despite parting ways with Ethan.
“Change that last name little lady,” wrote an Instagram user. “Because last names belong to men?” Olivia responded. “Nah f*** that. This is my name, and I don’t have to change it for anyone unless I want to.” It is unclear how Ethan would feel about her keeping the name.
Why Did Ethan and Olivia Plath Get Divorced?
The TLC personalities chose to split up after five years of marriage (they got married in October 2018).
Over the course of their relationship, they struggled to get on the same page. Olivia clashed with Ethan’s parents and started questioning the fundamentalist Christian religious views that she was raised with.
“Ethan and I have decided to go our separate ways,” Olivia wrote in a statement following the breakup news.
“I have ambivalent memories of us being 18 years old, innocently dreaming of forever – but the partner you choose is a reflection of the world you want to live in, and at 18 I didn’t know who I was or what kind of life I wanted to create for myself.
“7 years later, I’ve already begun my journey of questioning, deconstructing and rebuilding and I know that is a process that I will continue to prioritize throughout my life.”
Ethan summed up the reason behind the divorce with one simple statement: “It just didn’t work out.”
“Lord knows we both gave it all we had. It seemed we were constantly pulling each other in opposite directions in life with different goals,” he added.
The Post mentioned that Kevin James appeared on the Kelly Clarkson Show on Monday, January 29th. Here, he told Kelly that she looked “great.” Kelly then admitted, “Well, I was told I was prediabetic.”
She explained she wasn’t shocked to learn that a few years ago, and she joked, “I was a tiny bit overweight.” Although Kelly repeated that she “wasn’t shocked by it,” she was told by doctors, “You’re right on the borderline” of being prediabetic.
At the time, Kelly claims she said, “I’m not there yet.” After two years passed, Kelly said she decided to “do something about” her health and wellness.
Kelly Clarkson Took Her Power Back
At the beginning of January, an exclusive interview with Kelly appeared on People.com. She also appeared on the cover of People magazine with the heading, “I’m Taking My Power Back.”
Kelly told People, “I dropped weight because I’ve been listening to my doctor.” She admitted that she hadn’t listened to her doctor for a couple of years.
Kelly also talked about her new, healthier eating habits, including “a healthy mix” of foods and more protein to stay fuller. She told People, “90% of the time, I’m really good at it because a protein diet is good for me anyway. I’m a Texas girl, so I like meat,” and Kelly added, “Sorry, vegetarians in the world!”
Kelly also confessed that she still enjoys splurging on a treat occasionally. She said, “The other night, I had a frozen yogurt with my daughter.” “It was magical,” Kelly joked.
Since her move from Los Angeles to New York, Kelly told People Magazine that spending more time with her daughter River and son Remington is helping her to stay fit. She said, “Walking in the city is quite the workout.”
Kelly also revealed, “I’m really into infrared saunas right now.” She even admitted to a “cold plunge” because, as Kelly said, “Everybody wore me down” to try that.
Kelly Enjoys New York’s Pedestrian-Friendly Vibe
Last November, People interviewed Kelly at a SiriusXM event in New York City. In the interview, Kelly revealed how the move to New York has positively impacted her mental health. She confessed, “I was very depressed for the last three years… and maybe a little before that.”
Kelly explained that New York’s pedestrian-friendly vibe had allowed her to become more in touch with herself. She said she was “walking to and from work every day,” and Kelly enjoys New York’s “beautiful energy.”
She said she had been talking to Maren Morris, who is from Texas like Kelly, and Kelly told Maren, “It’s just been incredible. The energy of it is very me.”
The Post also mentioned Kelly’s conversation with Today’s Hoda Kotb in 2018. Kelly told Hoda she had lost “about 37 pounds” at that time and explained that she made a diet change because of issues with her thyroid and autoimmune system. Kelly told Hoda, “I know the industry loves the weight gone.” But Kelly claimed, “for me, it wasn’t really the weight.”
At the SiriusXM event in November, Kelly also told People that she hadn’t given herself the time and space to process her feelings before her move to New York. Kelly said, “I think we get kind of tied up, and you feel like you have to keep going and keep smiling for others.”
She also explained, “You can only compartmentalize so much, you know? And I’m very good at it, but you can only do that for so long.”
Paris Hilton has been traveling a lot lately with her husband, Carter Reum, and their one-year-old son, Phoenix. But their newborn daughter, London, hasn’t been spotted with the family at all.
So why has Paris been excluding her daughter from family trips? The real reasons why she’s been ignoring London are honestly unbelievable, so let’s break them down.
At the end of November, Paris surprised everyone when she announced on Instagram that she and Carter had welcomed a baby girl named London via surrogate.
A few days later, she appeared on Today, where she revealed her true feelings about being a mom of two. Paris claimed that having a son and a daughter finally made her life feel complete. She also said that she would always be there for both of her kids.
Paris and Carter Went to Disney Without London
But just a few weeks later, she started sharing posts on social media that completely contradicted that statement. On Christmas Eve, Paris posted pictures and clips that she had taken earlier that day of Phoenix’s first trip to Disneyland.
My life is finally complete 👶🏼💙 My journey into motherhood is now on the new season of #ParisInLove on @Peacock 💘 Click the link in my bio to stream some of my absolute favorite memories with Phoenix and Carter now. 🥹✨
She and Carter had taken him to the theme park with her sister, Nicky. But even though Phoenix and Nicky’s children appeared to have a good time, there was one detail that was impossible to ignore: London was nowhere to be seen in any of the photos or videos taken during the Disney trip.
She was also noticeably absent from Paris’s Instagram post the next day, which was seriously strange, Paris, Carter, and Phoenix had apparently spent Christmas Day with the rest of the Hilton family at Nicky’s house. Based on the photos Paris shared, it seemed like everyone was there, with the exception of London.
Over the next two weeks, Paris continued to share pictures from her travels, including from New York City and Mexico. In every single post she made, London couldn’t be spotted at all, but Phoenix was included on several of those occasions, which makes things even more confusing…
It’s possible that Paris and Carter didn’t want to bring London to all of those events and trips because she was still incredibly young.
But it’s not like they didn’t know she was going to be born, especially since they had scheduled the surrogacy process, Why didn’t Paris and her husband try to plan their mini vacations before London arrived?
And if that really wasn’t an option, couldn’t they have stayed home for Christmas and invited the rest of the Hilton family to celebrate with them?
London Was Excluded From Christmas With the Hiltons
It’s true that London probably wouldn’t have been able to appreciate or enjoy much about Disneyland. However, Phoenix was only 11 months old, so it’s not like he could really experience a lot of the amusement park either.
Still, the difference between going places with a newborn compared to an older baby is usually pretty extreme. Almost all newborn babies have an unpredictable sleep schedule at first. They also don’t really have a set routine when it comes to eating.
And as most parents know, being out of the house with a tired, hungry newborn can be totally overwhelming. On the other hand, older babies and toddlers usually have set nap times throughout the day.
It’s also easier to pack snacks on the go, compared to warming up bottles or finding a comfortable place to nurse a newborn.
It’s definitely possible that Paris and Carter felt like it was too much work to bring their new daughter on their trips to public places.
But London being excluded from celebrating Christmas with the rest of her family at Nicky’s house is still absolutely bizarre…
Another possible reason why Paris has been ignoring her daughter is that she’s still not comfortable taking care of her. What the second season of Paris in Love revealed about her parenting was honestly startling.
Paris May Not Be Comfortable Taking Care of London
One week after London’s arrival was announced, season two of Paris’s reality show was released. It’s no secret that a lot of celebrities hire nannies to help take care of their kids, but in Paris’s case, it looked like her nanny was Phoenix’s primary caregiver.
In one episode, Nicky was visibly stunned when Paris told her that she hadn’t changed any of Phoenix’s diapers yet. He was a month old at the time, and Paris seemed completely clueless about what to do.
Nicky and the nanny had to help her with the craziest, most minor things. Paris didn’t even know which side of the diaper was the front or back, and she also appeared to be so detached from her own son.
The nanny even had to remind her to talk to her baby and smile at him. That scene made a lot more sense later in the season, when Paris made a seriously insane confession. In another episode, Paris opened up to her therapist about not feeling responsible enough to take care of Phoenix.
But when the therapist told her that her baby would bond more with his nanny if she didn’t take control of her parenting duties, she looked shocked.
Paris didn’t exactly have a present, nurturing mother growing up. The majority of her relationship with her mom, Kathy, has been incredibly strained.
After she told her therapist that she wanted to be a better mother for her kids than what she had, the conversation took an unexpected turn.
When the therapist asked how much time Paris was able to spend with Phoenix each day, Paris explained that she usually tried to visit him in his nursery for an hour in the morning, before she had to get ready for the day and go to work.
It’s mind-boggling that Paris literally has hundreds of millions of dollars, but she was still working so much — and it’s not like she had no other option.
She was choosing to book public appearances and DJ gigs instead of bonding with her baby. Paris recently spoke out about how she’s working on getting better at saying no to some job opportunities.
But it’s interesting that for her and Carter’s honeymoon, they were able to spend seven weeks straight just traveling around the world.
Paris Has PTSD, Which Can Interfere With the Ability to Bond
So why is it so hard for her to even slightly cut back on her work schedule to be a more present mother? In one of the more recent episodes of Paris in Love, Paris and her therapist discussed her post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms.
The therapist mentioned that people with PTSD can have trouble connecting to others because of their trauma…
She also brought up that many of those people tend to struggle with overcoming that avoidance, which seemed to resonate with Paris.
Paris claimed that she wanted to work on healing from her trauma, so that she could be the loving, involved mother that her kids deserve.
Lately, it truly does seem like Paris has been making more of an effort to spend time interacting with Phoenix. But sadly, that doesn’t appear to be the case with London yet.
Maybe Paris is still uncomfortable, or unsure of how to take care of her newborn daughter, just like she was with her son.
She recently tried to backtrack what she had previously said when Phoenix was a newborn, and what she claimed was honestly ridiculous.
After the episode aired that showed Paris changing her first diaper when her son was a month old, she received a ton of backlash…
A lot of people couldn’t believe how out of touch she was, and how the nanny was pretty much handling all of Phoenix’s basic care.
Despite the fact that Paris has mentioned multiple times that she’s proud of how raw and authentic her show is, she’s now saying that she was only joking in that scene.
Paris Has Defended Her Parenting Comments On TikTok
Last month, she shared a TikTok with a very lengthy caption.
Paris wrote that she’s always been fully involved in her children’s lives, and that she had first changed Phoenix’s diaper the night he came home.
But if that were true, why didn’t she tell Nicky and the nanny that she was joking about never having changed his diaper?
Judging by how nervous she looked and how many times she needed help, it really seemed like she was completely honest about not knowing what to do.
But after she was criticized for her lack of attachment and involvement, all of a sudden, her story changed. It’s also kind of weird that Paris is determined to convince everyone that she was joking about the diaper scene.
Snoop Dogg’s daughter, Cori Broadus, appears to be recovering after the stroke she had in mid-January. She recently posted an Instagram story of herself walking around a suburban neighborhood.
According to the Daily Mail, she shared the video just days after getting out of the hospital. In the video, she was walking by herself without any assistance. Cori shared with her followers that she was exhausted but so proud of herself. She added that she was gaining her strength back slowly but surely.
TMZ reported that later that same day, Cori attended her first public event since her hospitalization. Snoop Dogg and Cori went to Charlie Wilson’s 71st birthday party together.
She uploaded pictures and videos from the event on her Instagram and captioned one of the posts by saying, ‘Honey, I’m Home. Cori was wearing a lilac purple sweatshirt, a pair of Ugg slippers, and a necklace.
She shared a photo of herself with the guest of honor, Charlie, and called him her ‘favorite’ in the caption. One of her other Instagram videos included a clip of her dad performing his hit, 2 Of Amerikaz Most Wanted, at the event.
He reportedly sang both his and Tupac Shakur’s verses.
Cori Told Her Story on Social Media
According to People Magazine, Cori has used her experience to encourage her Instagram followers to listen to their bodies. In a story she shared earlier this week, she explained that just before her stroke, she experienced several warning symptoms. They included blurry vision, nausea, fatigue, and a really bad headache on the right side of her head.
She added that she was glad she was still around and able to tell her story. Cori also revealed that her blood pressure was really high before she had her stroke. She said she’d been trying to keep track of it by logging her levels every day.
The Los Angeles Times reported that Cori was in the hospital for a week before she was finally allowed to go home. She let her followers know that she was headed home in an Instagram story after finding out that a CT scan of her chest had come back normal.
Cori confessed that she was so happy about going home that she could cry. She thanked everyone for their continuous prayers and love. Hours later, she shared a photo of a welcome home banner that was up in the living room.
Snoop Dogg gave his own update on Cori’s health in a People Magazine interview at the L.A. premiere of The Underdoggs. He told the news outlet that she was doing a little better. The interviewer asked him if the health scare had put life in perspective for him, and he confirmed that it had.
Lupus Increased Cori’s Risk of Stroke
Only a week earlier, Cori had posted a picture of herself in a hospital room on Instagram. Cori confessed that she broke down crying when the doctors told her that she’d had a stroke.
She pointed out that she was only 24 and asked what she’d done in her past to deserve it. Cori was diagnosed with lupus when she was just six years old.
According to the Lupus Foundation of America, it’s an autoimmune disease, so instead of fighting infections, the immune system attacks healthy tissue. It’s a condition that can cause inflammation and pain in any part of the body, including the kidneys, joints, brain, heart, lungs, and skin.
In a report about Cori’s hospitalization, Page Six reported that because Lupus has the ability to affect so many organs, it is also able to increase the risk of a stroke.
On January 30th, The Ashley’s Reality Roundup reported exclusive details of a reunion that was 13 years in the making.
Jenelle Evans‘ son, Jace Evans, has finally reconnected with his father, Andrew Lewis. Their face-to-face encounter was also reported by The U.S. Sun. The Sun’s report said that Andrew Charles Lewis returned to North Carolina during the week of January 22nd.
Andrew is currently 38 years old. He also confirmed his return to North Carolina when he posted photos of himself on social media. According to The Sun, it was the first time that Andrew had seen Jace since “he was an infant on MTV’s 16 and Pregnant.”
Andrew Seemed to Lose Interest in His Son, Jace
While The Ashley’s source alleged that “Jace was happy” about seeing Andrew, their meeting did not happen in an informal setting. The face-to-face meeting between Jace and Andrew allegedly occurred during a courtroom hearing last week. Jenelle and her mother, Barbara, are currently involved in a CPS custody case over Jace. It is alleged that Andrew has been included in Jace’s CPS file as a witness.
The Ashley reported earlier in January that Andrew was attempting to rebuild a relationship with his son. Allegedly, Andrew and Jace had exchanged phone calls, and Andrew had also sent Jace “a few letters.”
Another exclusive report from The Ashley claimed that Andrew “seemed to lose interest” in rebuilding a relationship with Jace. The Ashley’s source alleged, “Andrew has kind of ‘peaced out’ again.” They further explained, “Andrew seemed to lose interest, and so did Jace.”
The Ashley’s source also said, “The novelty of talking to his dad wore off for Jace, and he doesn’t really care whether or not his dad is in his life now.”
Andrew did appear in court before this, but his appearance at a hearing for Jace in December 2023 was via video chat. A source told The Ashley that Andrew was “acting really weird” during that video call. At one point, the judge had to tell Andrew to “pipe down” or he could get “thrown out.”
Still, Andrew’ was called to appear in person at a hearing for Jace in January.
A Judge Threatened to Remove Andrew from the CPS Process
The Ashley’s source also confirmed that Andrew can now visit Jace and speak with him over the phone. The source added that any information provided by Andrew during the court hearing “may not carry much weight” with the judge since Andrew hasn’t taken an active role in raising his son.
Sources for The Sun allege that Andrew was included in Jace’s CPS file “since he’s his father and could potentially have a claim for custody.” But The Ashley’s source claimed that Andrew has no plans to seek custody of Jace.
On April 24, 2023, The Sun published an interview with Andrew. At that time, Andrew claimed that his “greatest desire” was to see Jace again. Andrew pleaded, “Please let me see Jace. That’s all I ever wanted.” He also claimed that his whole family, including his cousin, nephew, niece, and his sister, all wanted to meet Jace.
The Ashley reported further details of Andrew’s behavior during his video appearance in court last December. The outlet’s source alleged that Andrew kept “interrupting the judge during the hearing and also butted in while others involved in the case were speaking.”
The source also claimed, “It was getting to the point where no one could answer questions without an interruption from Andrew.” The judge had to tell Andrew, “If he did it again, he wouldn’t be a part of the process.” In the source’s opinion, Andrew “was lucky to even get to be there.”
The Ashley did report last month that Jace is “thrilled at the possibility of having his dad in his life.”
Photo Credits: TMZ | Orlando Brown kicked out of Toa LA after an outburst.
That’s So Raven star Orlando Brown caused quite a scene last weekend during an outburst at a Los Angeles restaurant. In footage obtained by TMZ, Orlando can be seen screaming obscenities at an employee of Tao Los Angeles on Sunday night.
Among the other wild accusations he threw at the server, the troubled actor said that the employee was “Satan.” In his tirade, Orlando also referred to himself as “Jesus,” yelling “Get behind me,” at the employee, all while filming the target of his outburst with his phone. The 36-year-old was soon ejected from the premises while continuing to shout expletives at the onlookers.
Page Six reportedly reached out to representatives for both Orlando and the Tao restaurant for comment. However, the outlet stated that neither had so far returned their request.
TMZ reported that other diners at Tao claimed that the incident started when Orlando “started acting up at his table.” The outlet was then told that the actor started “shouting at other patrons.” After staff approached Orlando to calm the situation, he started to berate them as the footage shows.
Orlando Brown’s Troubled History
This is the latest in many upsetting incidents involving the former Disney star, who has long struggled with alleged mental health and substance problems.
In 2018, Page Six reported that he was arrested for trying to change the locks on the doors of his friend Danny Boy’s restaurant. He was subsequently sentenced to 45 days in jail after pleading no contest. Several months earlier, he pleaded no contest to a possession charge.
A couple of years later, Orlando made a startling appearance on Dr Phil. Page Six reported that Orlando’s friend had called the show because of what was described as his “mental problems.” His friend went on to say, “He’s burnt so many bridges no one wants to deal with him.”
While on Dr Phil, Orlando wore snake eye contact lenses and claimed he was the son of Michael Jackson. His friend also said that he had previously claimed that he owned Neverland.
After another arrest in 2022, it was revealed by TMZ that Orlando was “homeless” at the time. Police told the outlet that they had been informed that Orlando’s brother Matthew had allowed Orlando to stay at a home he was renovating. This was allegedly because his family “didn’t want him to go to a homeless shelter.”
After Orlando pleaded not guilty, his attorney requested that he undergo a mental evaluation.
TMZ reported that despite Orlando’s personal problems, he has recently been working again. Last year, he was a cast member of the Zeus Network reality show Bad Boys: Texas. However, it doesn’t look like getting back to work has helped Orlando face his personal demons.
USA Today reported that on January 26th, the District Attorney of Nashville released a statement concerning the recent arrest of Chris Young. DA Glenn Funk said, “After a review of all the evidence in this case, the office of the District Attorney has determined that these charges will be dismissed.”
On the evening of January 22nd, Chris was detained in Nashville by agents from the Tennessee Alcoholic Beverage Commission (ABC). This followed an alleged incident at the Dawg House Saloon on Demonbreun Street.
During this incident, the agents alleged that Chris behaved in a disorderly manner and resisted arrest. An agent also claimed that Chris had physically confronted him when he attempted to leave the Dawg House Saloon.
Chris was charged with three misdemeanors. NBC affiliate WSMV in Nashville reported on Chris’ arrest after obtaining a copy of the affidavit.
According to the arrest affidavit, the agents first encountered Chris and his friends at the popular Tin Roof live music establishment next to the Dawg House. Agents entered the Tin Roof at approximately 8:30 pm on Monday. They claimed that Chris had his ID in his hand above his head, and the agents scanned Chris’ ID for accuracy before they walked away.
At this point, the agents claimed that Chris “started asking questions.” The agents then claimed that Chris and several friends followed them into the Dawg House Saloon. The affidavit stated that officers also did a compliance check at the Dawg House.
Agents alleged that Chris got physical with them when they attempted to leave the Dawg House Saloon. One agent alleged that Chris tried to stop him from leaving the bar and allegedly struck the agent on the shoulder. The affidavit also alleged that Chris had slurred speech and bloodshot, watery eyes.
Chris Young’s Attorney Bill Disputed the Charges
After the alleged confrontation, Chris was detained by the agents and handcuffed. He was later released on bonds totaling $2,500 for the three misdemeanor charges. According to USA Today, Chris was scheduled to appear in court on February 16th until Glenn Funk formally dropped the charges on January 26th.
Bill Ramsey is Chris’ attorney. On Wednesday, January 24th, Bill released a statement about the alleged incident two days earlier.
Bill’s statement, shared by the Los Angeles Times, stated Chris should never have been arrested. He claimed that what happened to Chris on January 22nd was wrong. Chris’ lawyer also said that the Tennessee ABC should apologize to Chris for any “physical, emotional and professional harm” done to him.
Bill also released video footage that appeared to clear Chris of any wrongdoing, according to the LA Times. This footage was taken at the Dawg House on the evening of Monday, January 22nd, and includes several angles of the inside of the Saloon. While portions of the video footage show Chris and the agents, none of the footage released by Bill shows the altercation that allegedly took place.
A part of the footage showed Chris reaching out to an agent, but then the agent appeared to shove Chris. Chris then appeared to lose his footing and was shown tripping over a barstool and falling to the ground. He got up, put his arms out to his side, and backed away from the agent.
All of the footage released by Bill appears to show that the alleged incident never took place.
The Tennessee ABC Agents Were Not in “Obvious Uniforms”
NewsChannel 5 in Nashville obtained security video footage from the Dawg House Saloon. Billboard shared that NewsChannel 5 reporter Nick Beres also shared the footage on his verified Facebook account.
Nick also explained on Facebook why Chris had questioned the agents when they approached him at the Tin Roof. He learned this detail from reading Bill’s statement about Chris’ allegedly false arrest.
According to Bill, Chris questioned the agents at the Tin Roof because he wanted to confirm the identity of men asking to see his ID. Since the agents weren’t “in obvious uniforms,” Chris wanted proof that the men really were agents with the Tennessee ABC.
Bill also thanked DA Glenn Funk in his statement on January 26th. He said, “Mr. Young and I are gratified with the DA’s decision clearing him of the charges and any wrongdoing.”
Now that his name has been cleared, Chris can go forward with new music. His album, “Young Love & Saturday Nights,” will be released on March 22nd.
