Garrison Brown, the son of Kody and Janelle Brown, was found deceased at his home on Tuesday, March 5th, at his home in Flagstaff, Arizona at just age 25.

According to TMZ and the Flagstaff Police Department, Garrison was found by his brother, Gabe. Police officers arrived at the scene after receiving an emergency call, supposedly from Gabe. According to the police report, he was found deceased from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

No foul play is suspected, although an investigation is underway. It’s also unclear if any note was left behind.Garrison was a popular character on the TLC show, Sister Wives.

He had appeared on the show since he was a young child when it premiered in 2010. He is also one of the only adult children in the Brown family who still regularly appeared on the show.

Although many of the children had stopped appearing over the years, Garrison was frequently featured to discuss his worsening relationship with his father, Kody, and his parents’ divorce, especially in the most recent season of the show.

Janelle Posted a Heartbreaking Statement On Instagram

Janelle posted a statement via her Instagram confirming the loss. She wrote:

“Kody and I are deeply saddened to announce the loss of our beautiful boy Robert Garrison Brown. He was a bright spot in the lives of all who knew him. His loss will leave such a big hole in our lives that it takes our breath away. We ask that you please respect our privacy and join us in honoring his memory. Aside from that statement, none of the other members of the Brown family have spoken out about the devastating tragedy yet.”

Aside from being Kody and Janelle’s biological son, he had a very close relationship with Kody’s ex-wife, Christine. Christine acted as a second mom to Janelle’s kids while they were growing up and Janelle was working.

All of Janelle’s kids stayed close with Christine over the years, and both Garrison and Gabe had spoken out about choosing her in their family over Kody.

It appears as though Garrison had little to no relationship with Kody at the time of his passing. Garrison’s relationship with Kody hit a turning point in 2020 during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Garrison Has Been Estranged from Kody

Kody did not want Garrison to live in Janelle’s house because he wasn’t following the quarantine rules Kody had imposed on the family. Janelle fought back with Kody on these claims, saying that he was going to work, and that he was saving money to buy a house, which was why she was allowing him to live with her.

Garrison did eventually buy a house in 2021, which was where he was found at the time of his passing. His home also recently served as a plot point on the most recent season of Sister Wives.

Christine and Janelle discussed that Janelle’s son, Gabe, and Christine’s daughter, Gwen, were planning on moving into Garrison’s house.Christine was worried because Gwen didn’t line up politically with Garrison and Gabe.

Ultimately, Gwen decided that moving in with her two brothers wouldn’t be the best choice, but the five of them met for a family dinner to discuss the fractured relationships in the family, along with Janelle’s youngest child, Savanah.

This news comes as a shock to fans of Sister Wives, as fans watched Garrison struggle with his relationship with Kody, but seemed to be thriving in other areas of his life.

This is an absolutely devastating tragedy, and we send our condolences to the entire Brown family at this difficult time.

I Got Bullied by a Plane Passenger for Being Overweight – But I Had the Last Laugh

The plane hummed with the familiar drone of engines as I settled into my seat, the plush fabric barely accommodating my size. The anticipation of my journey was tinged with apprehension, knowing the challenges that awaited me beyond the clouds. My name is Eliza, and I’ve grown accustomed to the sideways glances and subtle judgments that accompany me wherever I go, especially in crowded places like airplanes.

As the cabin filled with passengers, I couldn’t help but notice the scrutinizing gaze of a woman who settled into the seat beside me. Her name was Isabel, and from the moment she took her place, her disdain for me was palpable. Every glance, every shift in her body language, screamed silent condemnation.

I tried to ignore her, focusing instead on making myself as comfortable as possible in the limited space available. But Isabel seemed determined to make my journey a living hell. She huffed and sighed, exaggeratedly shifting in her seat as if my mere presence was an inconvenience to her.

“Excuse me,” Isabel finally spoke up, her voice dripping with condescension, “could you try to keep to your side? You’re taking up more space than you paid for.”

Her Disdain and Hostility Made Me Flush with Embarrassment

My cheeks flushed with embarrassment as I awkwardly attempted to shrink into myself, apologizing for the perceived intrusion. But Isabel’s disdain was unrelenting, her eyes darting to my body with barely concealed contempt.

Throughout the flight, Isabel’s hostility only seemed to escalate. She called over a flight attendant, demanding to be moved to another seat away from me. But to my relief, the flight attendant politely informed her that the flight was fully booked and there were no available seats.

Undeterred, Isabel turned to me with a self-satisfied smirk. “Since I can’t move, how about you buy my seat as compensation for encroaching on my space?” she suggested, her tone laced with entitlement.

I was taken aback by her audacity. “I’m sorry, but I’m not going to pay you for a seat I’ve already paid for,” I replied, trying to keep my voice steady despite the rising anger within me.

Isabel scoffed and turned away, muttering under her breath about the inconvenience of having to sit next to someone like me. But despite her disdain, I couldn’t help but feel a twinge of sympathy for her. Maybe she was just having a bad day, I thought, trying to rationalize her behavior.

I Realized that She Also Stole Money from Me

As the flight continued, Isabel’s rudeness only intensified. She refused to let me pass to use the restroom, sighing loudly whenever I dared to shift in my seat. And then, when I returned from the bathroom, I discovered that a significant amount of cash was missing from my purse.

Heart pounding, I turned to Isabel, my hands trembling with anger. “Did you… did you take my money?” I demanded, my voice shaking with rage.

Isabel’s eyes widened in mock innocence, but I could see the guilt lurking behind them. “I have no idea what you’re talking about,” she replied, her voice dripping with insincerity.

But I knew better than to believe her. With a sinking feeling in my stomach, I realized that Isabel had stolen from me, taking advantage of my momentary absence to rifle through my belongings.

The rest of the flight passed in tense silence, the air thick with unspoken accusations and resentments. 

As the plane touched down and the passengers disembarked, I couldn’t shake the feeling of unease that lingered within me. The encounter with Isabel on the flight had left a bitter taste in my mouth.

Meanwhile, Isabel hurried off towards her eagerly awaited job interview, her mind buzzing with nerves and anticipation. Little did she know, her interviewer’s name was Allen – and all of our paths were about to cross again. 

Karma Showed Up in the Form of a Job Interview

As Isabel entered Allen’s office, her heart pounded with excitement. The interview was going amazingly well, her answers flowing effortlessly as she dazzled Allen with her charm and confidence. She couldn’t believe her luck when Allen mentioned that he would bring in his boss to meet her on the spot.

But as Allen left the room to fetch his boss, a sense of foreboding settled over Isabel. Something didn’t feel quite right, and she couldn’t shake the feeling of unease that gnawed at her stomach.

And then, as if on cue, the door swung open and Allen reentered the room, accompanied by a woman whose face Isabel recognized immediately.

It was me—Eliza, the woman from the plane. Isabel’s heart sank as she realized the gravity of the situation, her face flushing with embarrassment as she met my gaze.

And I, too, was shocked to see Isabel sitting in the interview room, her presence a stark reminder of the turbulent journey we had shared just hours before.

As Allen began to sing Isabel’s praises and introduce her, I couldn’t let the charade continue any longer. With a heavy heart, I interrupted him, my voice trembling with nerves.

“Wait,” I said, my words echoing through the room, “there’s something you should know about Isabel.”

Allen and Isabel both turned to look at me, their faces a mix of confusion and curiosity. I took a deep breath, summoning all the courage I had as I recounted the events of the flight—the judgment, the hostility, the stolen cash.

And then, with a sinking feeling in my stomach, I turned to Isabel. “I believe you have something of mine,” I said, my voice barely above a whisper.

Isabel’s face turned ashen as she reached into her bag, retrieving the stolen cash with trembling hands. She handed it to me without a word, her face burning with shame as she met my gaze.

Talent Doesn’t Matter When You Have No Integrity

I turned to Allen, my heart heavy with regret. “Although Isabel appears to be qualified for the role, I do not think it would be beneficial for the company to hire her,” I said, my voice steady despite the turmoil raging within me.

Allen looked stunned, his brow furrowed in confusion as he tried to make sense of the situation. But deep down, he knew that I was right. The betrayal and deceit that Isabel had displayed were not qualities they wanted in an employee, no matter how talented she may be.

And as Isabel left the room in defeat, I felt a sense of sadness for her. Despite everything that had happened, I couldn’t help but wonder what demons she was battling that had driven her to such extremes.

But as I watched her disappear into the hallway, I couldn’t shake the feeling of relief that washed over me. Justice had been served, and although the road ahead would be uncertain, I knew that I had made the right decision. For in the end, integrity and honesty are the cornerstones of success, and no amount of talent can outweigh the importance of doing what is right.

Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas is officially a grandmother. The 53-year-old TLC member’s son, Tron Austin, just had a baby girl.  

“We are officially parents!!” he shared on Instagram alongside a photo of him and his wife, Jeong Ah Wang, holding their newborn daughter, Lua. 

Tron also revealed that the baby arrived a little early. “She was scheduled for March 6th on a Wednesday but nope she wanted to come sooner! This morning my wife’s water broke at 7am and we immediately got packed as soon as we could and headed to the hospital which is a hour and thirty minutes drive from where we are btw,” he wrote.

“She went into an emergency C section at 1pm. Our nerves were high and our anxiety was through the roof but despite all of that she powered through and gave birth to a healthy beautiful baby girl!” 

He also shared his gratitude about starting a family: “This is a dream come true. We started dating on September 22,2018 fast forward almost 6 years later, we are married with our first child and life’s journey has now truly begun!” 

In September 2023, the couple announced their baby news on Instagram. Tron revealed that it took many tries and procedures to get to that point: “2 HSG procedures , one hysteroscopy , removal of both tubes and scar tissue from hernia & appendicitis surgeries , one egg retrieval, one miscarriage.” 

“IVF has tested us and blessed us through a year and a half journey,” he added.

Chilli has yet to publicly comment on the happy event, but she has previously shown fans glimpses into her relationship with her son, who she shares with ex Dallas Austin. For example, she posted on Instagram to celebrate Tron’s birthday. 

“Happiest birthday, my young King,” she wrote in the caption of her post. “Looooooooooove you!!! I’m so blessed to be your momma.”

Could Chilli Also Become a Mom Again Soon?

Chilli is currently dating Matthew Lawrence. Even though she is now a grandma, the two have talked about children. “She’s an amazing person,” Lawrence, 44, shared with E! News. “She’s already a mother, she has an incredible son. I respect so much as to how she’s raised him. She’d be an incredible mother again, and I’d be incredibly lucky, but that’s way in the future.”

That said, Matthew, 43, who started dating the singer in 2022 after a break-up with his ex Cheryl Burke, also clarified that he didn’t want to pressure his partner – there are no actual plans to start a family in the immediate future, it was more something he thought would be great if it were to happen. 

The Sad Story of Kane Brown’s Dad

Photo Credits: Kane Brown/Instagram

Although Kane Brown had a tough childhood, he’s said very little about his father. The real truth is sad because Kane’s dad has remained such a mystery until now. You won’t believe who is speaking out and trying to set the record straight.

Kane was born in Chattanooga, Tennessee, in October 1993. His mom, Tabatha Brown, allegedly raised him and his sister, Heidi, as a single parent.

Until very recently, public information about Kane’s father was basically non-existent. This includes the name or birthplace of his father. Although, Kane has been open about his mom being white and his dad being Black and part-Cherokee. 

Kane was only three years old when his father received a lengthy jail sentence. According to one source online, a man claiming to be Kane’s father is questioning his guilt from behind bars.

In July 2019, Kane appeared on ABC News Radio. A highlight of the interview was Kane admitting how excited he was to become a dad for the first time—but it was equally heartbreaking.

Kane’s wife, Katelyn Jae, was expecting a baby girl. He confessed, “I’m excited. You know, me and my wife are in it together, and I get to be the dad that I never really had.”

Kane’s Alleged Father Claims He Was Wrongfully Convicted

But Kane wasn’t done revealing inside knowledge of the father he barely knew. Kane admitted he had something of a relationship with his dad, even though Kane’s father is still a prisoner.

Kane said, “He’s a drummer, which I didn’t even know.” He added that his father likes bragging about having a famous son. He joked, “I’m going to hire him when he gets out.”

In June 2022, another side to Kane’s story became public knowledge when a shocking petition for justice appeared on Change.org. If this information is the real truth, it’s the first publicly released statement from Kane’s alleged father, Michael Peek Sr.

Michael alleges that he is Kane’s father. Even more startling, Michael claims he was wrongly convicted of serious crimes by a Chattanooga, Tennessee jury in 1996 when he received a 99-year sentence.

Michael threw shade at the Chattanooga Police Department and accused them of using a conspiracy theory against him. He alleged that the police arrested him solely because he was a Black man who was known to date white women and who lived a mile from one of the five alleged victims in the criminal case.

In an unbelievable twist, Michael alleged that a legally blind lawyer was court-appointed to represent him. This lawyer couldn’t defend him against the physical description provided by the victims.

Michael claimed that the alleged victims all described their attacker in the police report as being 5 feet 5 inches tall with a pot belly, stubby fingers, and hairy arms and hands. He claimed he was 6 feet 5 inches tall with little body hair on his arms or hands. Michael also said he was physically fit with no “pot belly” at the time of his arrest.

The Court Denied Michael’s Appeal

Michael also accused his lawyer of excluding several character witnesses to testify in his defense at trial. He continued to declare in the petition that he was innocent.

If that’s the real truth, why hasn’t Kane come to his father’s defense?

There is a public record of one appeal in Michael’s case that happened four years after his conviction. The appeals court’s judgment contains shocking information about what Kane’s father was charged with—if Michael is actually Kane’s real father, as he claims.

In the court document, Michael is called “the defendant.” The appeal states that Michael was found guilty of fourteen felonies. These included burglary, robbery, and physical harm done to the five victims.

Michael sought an appeal of all his convictions. He claimed that hair, saliva, and blood samples drawn from him during the first trial should have been suppressed. Michael also claimed he was shackled during his first trial, and his shackles should have been removed. 

Unbelievably, the appeals court found “error in the trial court’s allowing the complaints of all five victims to be tried at a single trial” and the “court’s not following the required procedures before shackling the defendant during the trial.” But the appeals court also determined that these errors were “harmless,” and they denied Michael’s appeal. 

Since Kane has never spoken out about his father’s real name or what he did to land in prison for so long, the real truth about Michael’s story and his connection to Kane remains unverified.

Kane Had a Crazy Childhood

What’s even more shocking is how Kane was mistreated by his stepfather as a very young boy before his grandmother came to his rescue.

Kane once told CBS News, “I don’t know if I ever told you, but I had, like, a crazy childhood.” He added, “I had to grow up a lot faster than the normal person.” Kane experienced homelessness as a kid, and sometimes, he and Tabatha had no place else to sleep but her car.

He never really experienced a father’s love when he was growing up. Kane told CBS that one of his stepdads punished him by shaving him bald and then putting aftershave on his head to sting him. 

Kane also confessed that this stepfather made him “physically eat half a bar of soap, not just bite into it. I had to physically eat it and swallow it.”

Southern Living reported that Kane’s grandmother, Edy Brown, threw that stepfather in jail after she discovered he was harming Kane.

Kane calls Edy “a huge part of my life.” The real truth is she imprisoned Kane’s stepfather because she was “a sheriff and a detective.” During one period in Kane’s life, he lived with Edy and said, “We got really close.” 

Kane remembered how Edy would take him for drives in her police car, and she would take him to the police station with her “all the time.” He said, “The cops knew who I was, and it made me feel special.”

But Kane also learned right from wrong at the police station. He said, “I would get to see the bad guys come in with their handcuffs, and my Nana would say, ‘You never want to be here.’ I feel like that was very important in my life.”

Kane Was Raised by Strong Women

Kane has spoken out about the many challenges Tabatha faced as a single mom, and he’s been candid about how it affected him. But Kane has always been grateful to his mom, Nana, and all the strong women who helped to raise him.

An iHeart report talked about Kane’s video for “Good As You,” which shows a young boy and his sister growing up with bright futures despite a difficult childhood. Kane said, “I was raised with strong women around me. My mom worked multiple jobs, and my Nana truly was a sheriff in my town.”

He revealed, “To be able to honor them is incredible because no matter how much we struggled, my Mom and Nana never let me see it. They sheltered me from any problems, and I appreciate them for that.”

Kane also talked about the lyrics to “Good As You,” specifically the opening line, “I see the way you’re taking care of your mama, the way you’re taking care of me.” He revealed that the women around him always cared for Kane and his sister, and they cared for each other, too. 

My Son Was Kidnapped by His Teacher and It Destroyed Our Family

The air outside the school was tinged with the promise of a chilly evening as I walked towards the familiar gates to pick up Daniel, my son, from his classes. My husband Michael was beside me, chatting about his day, his voice carrying a warmth that belied the impending chaos about to unfold.

As we approached the school, our steps quickened with the anticipation of seeing Daniel’s smiling face. But that anticipation quickly turned to dread as we reached the spot where we usually found him. Only, he wasn’t there.

“He’s not here,” Michael stated, his voice strained with worry.

I nodded, my heart pounding in my ears. “We need to find him,” I said, my voice trembling with urgency.

Panic began to rise in my chest like a swelling tide as we searched frantically around the school grounds, calling out Daniel’s name, hoping for a response that never came. Finally, the realization dawned on us: Daniel was missing.

Things Took a Nightmarish Turn In the Principal’s Office

We rushed to the principal, our hearts pounding with fear, and as we relayed the horrifying news, a sense of disbelief settled over us. How could our son vanish into thin air?

We approached the principal, our faces pale with fear, and informed them that Daniel was missing. The principal led us inside the school to review the security footage, and what we saw made my blood run cold.

There, on the screen, was Kim, Daniel’s teacher, dragging him violently into her car before speeding away. My breath caught in my throat, horror washing over me like a tidal wave.

“Oh my God,” I whispered, my hand flying to my mouth in shock.

Michael’s face contorted with rage as he grabbed his phone and dialed the police. “She’s kidnapped our son!” he declared, his voice rising with anger.

But as the detectives arrived and began their investigation, a sense of unease settled over me. When one of the detectives asked if Daniel had mentioned any plans with his teacher after school, Michael’s accusations flew like arrows, wild claims about Kim’s behavior tumbling from his lips.

“He was afraid of her!” Michael shouted, his voice laced with fury.

But I couldn’t stay silent, not when I knew the truth. “Michael, that’s not true,” I interjected, my voice trembling with uncertainty. “Daniel never said anything like that.”

Michael rounded on me, his eyes flashing with anger. “Shut up, Lauren!” he screamed, his voice cutting through the air like a knife.

I recoiled, stunned into silence, my heart heavy with the weight of his accusations. The detectives assured us that they would start a search operation, but I couldn’t shake the feeling of unease that settled over me like a dark cloud.

Daniel Planned His Escape

Meanwhile, as Kim and Daniel sat in her home, questions weighed heavily on both their minds. “Are my parents going to find me?” Daniel asked, his voice tinged with fear.

Kim hesitated, unsure of how to comfort him in the face of such uncertainty. But as the radio blared with news of Daniel’s kidnapping, a glimmer of hope emerged. The announcer’s words offered a lifeline, a chance for Kim to right her wrongs and potentially lessen the consequences of her actions.

But Daniel, ever resourceful, saw an opportunity. When Kim left the room, his eyes fell on her phone, a silent witness to their predicament. With a sense of determination, he seized the device and made a fateful call.

Back at the school, Michael’s frustration reached a boiling point as he berated the detectives for their lack of progress. But just as despair threatened to consume us, a glimmer of hope emerged. Another detective approached with news: they had received a tip with Daniel’s location.

The relief was palpable as we rushed to the scene, our hearts pounding with anticipation. And as the police burst into the house and Kim was arrested, a wave of emotion washed over me.

A Shocking Revelation Changes Everything

But the reunion with Daniel was not what we expected. As we embraced him, his words pierced through the joy like a dagger. “Kim didn’t kidnap me,” he declared, his voice filled with conviction. “She was keeping me safe.”

As Daniel’s revelation echoed in the room, my heart hammered against my chest, each beat a painful reminder of the horror unfolding before me. My son’s words hung in the air like a heavy fog, obscuring the reality I had so desperately tried to ignore.

Michael’s face contorted with disbelief, his eyes wide with shock. “What are you talking about, Daniel?” he demanded, his voice laced with a hint of desperation.

But Daniel stood firm, his gaze unwavering as he recounted the unspeakable truth. “Dad,” he began, his voice trembling with emotion, “you’ve been hurting me. For a long time.”

The words pierced through me like a dagger, tearing at the very fabric of my soul. I felt as though the ground had been ripped out from beneath me, leaving me suspended in a void of despair and anguish.

I Could No Longer Live In Denial – I Had to Be Brave for My Son

But as Daniel’s story unfolded, memories I had buried deep within resurfaced with a chilling clarity. I recalled the bruises that had marred my son’s fragile skin, the tears that had stained his cheeks, and the fear that had clouded his innocent eyes.

“I didn’t know what to do,” Daniel continued, his voice barely a whisper. “I was scared to come home, scared of what you might do to me.”

Tears welled in my eyes as I listened to his words, each one a testament to the pain he had endured in silence. And as the weight of his confession settled over me, I knew that I could no longer remain silent.

Taking a deep breath, I turned to Michael, my voice trembling with emotion. “He’s telling the truth,” I said, the words heavy with sorrow. “You’ve been abusing him, Michael. You’ve been hurting our son.”

Michael’s face paled, his eyes widening with disbelief. “Lauren, no,” he protested, his voice cracking with desperation. “You can’t possibly believe him.”

But I knew the truth, and no amount of denial could erase the horrors I had witnessed. “I have proof, Michael,” I said, my voice barely above a whisper. “I have video evidence of what you’ve done.”

Kim Saved Us and Gave Me the Courage to Move On

With trembling hands, I reached into my pocket and pulled out my phone, the screen displaying the damning footage of Michael’s cruelty. And as the truth stared back at him, his facade crumbled, leaving behind a broken man consumed by his own guilt.

The room fell silent, the weight of our collective pain hanging heavy in the air. But amid the wreckage of our shattered lives, a glimmer of hope emerged.

As the authorities led Michael away in handcuffs, I wrapped my arms around Daniel, holding him close as we looked ahead to a new beginning. And though the road ahead would be fraught with challenges, we would face them together, bound by a love stronger than any hardship we might encounter.

Kate Middleton Seen for the First Time After Disappearance

Kate Middleton has been seen in public for the first time since December, according to Page Six.

On January 16, 2024, Kensington Palace announced that she had undergone a planned abdominal surgery, and would be spending two weeks in the hospital.

The Palace also stated that she would not return to her public duties until after Easter. But now Kate has been spotted with her mom driving near Windsor Castle. Here’s what you need to know.

The Official Statement Given About Kate’s Disappearance

The Palace’s statement following Kate’s surgery read:

“Her Royal Highness The Princess of Wales was admitted to The London Clinic yesterday for planned abdominal surgery. The surgery was successful and it is expected that she will remain in hospital for ten to fourteen days, before returning home to continue her recovery. Based on the current medical advice, she is unlikely to return to public duties until after Easter.

“The Princess of Wales appreciates the interest this statement will generate. She hopes that the public will understand her desire to maintain as much normality for her children as possible; and her wish that her personal medical information remains private.

“Kensington Palace will, therefore, only provide updates on Her Royal Highness’ progress when there is significant new information to share.

“The Princess of Wales wishes to apologize to all those concerned for the fact that she has to postpone her upcoming engagements. She looks forward to reinstating as many as possible, as soon as possible.”

Regardless of the announcement, the people of the internet began to speculate about what exactly happened to her last week after Prince William was scheduled to attend the funeral of his godfather, the late King Constantine II of Greece, only to later cancel due to personal reasons.

The personal reasons remained undisclosed.

Kate Was Spotted in a Black Audi with Her Mother

Kate was seen in a black Audi SUV with her mother, Carol Middleton, who was driving the car, and both appeared to look stoic.

Kate wore dark sunglasses and her hair down, and seemed to be wearing clothing that covered her up to her neck.

The two were seen driving near Windsor Castle, and were photographed by the paparazzi company, Backgrid.

After the subject of her alleged disappearance went viral online, a spokesperson for Kensington Palace spoke out to Newsweek, saying:

“As we have been clear since our initial statement in January, we shall not be providing a running commentary or providing daily updates.”

Just one month earlier, on January 29, the Palace gave an update on Kate’s progress, saying:

“The Princess of Wales has returned home to Windsor to continue her recovery from surgery. She is making good progress.

“The Prince and Princess wish to say a huge thank you to the entire team at The London Clinic, especially the dedicated nursing staff, for the care they have provided.

“The Wales family continues to be grateful for the well wishes they have received from around the world.”

That was the final update given about the Duchess of Wales until the Palace was forced to speak out again after the discourse surrounding her absence and alleged disappearance.

Kate returned to her home with Prince William and their three children, Adelaide Cottage, which is notoriously private and inaccessible to the public.

It’s still unclear why Kate and her mother were driving near Windsor Castle, and how they were photographed by paparazzi.

Why Carrie Underwood Hides Her Kids

Carrie Underwood is allegedly hiding her kids. Sources with inside knowledge know the real truth, and they’re setting the record straight on why Carrie is such a protective mom.

Carrie shocked her fans in January 2023 when she posted on social media that someone had gone missing at home. Luckily, she wasn’t talking about one of her sons going missing. But she still sounded like a relatable mom when she complained that she kept losing half of everyone’s socks while doing the laundry.

Carrie and her husband, Mike Fisher, welcomed their oldest son, Isaiah, on February 27, 2015. After some heartbreaking struggles to get pregnant again, their second son, Jacob, was born on January 21, 2019.

Hello! Magazine’s online edition reported that Carrie prefers to keep her kids safe at home while on tour. Carrie and Mike believe that this gives their kids a better routine and more stability.

But sometimes, Carrie makes exceptions—and she set the record straight about life on tour during a TV interview in London, UK, in 2022. Carrie appeared on the popular Lorraine show in the UK and talked about her sons. In the interview, there was a picture of Carrie’s boys wearing little jackets from her Reflections residency in Las Vegas, but you couldn’t see Isaiah or Jacob’s faces.

Closer to home, Carrie appeared on the Today Show in September 2023, revealing some pretty personal things about being a mom to Hoda and Jenna.

The real truth is that many of Carrie’s fans feel the same way about her. The article in Hello even claimed that Carrie is the happiest at home, doing chores.

Carrie Underwood Limits Her Children’s Technology Usage

Carrie is such a devoted mom that she notices the little changes in her boys after they watch too much TV. Although She also recognizes that her boys have learned some good stuff through educational TV programming, she’s wary of too much technology, including cell phones. Carrie told Jenna that she’s keeping her kids off cell phones “for as long as possible.” 

She also talked about the “grassroots initiative” at the school the boys attend in Tennessee. She said all the parents gathered to discuss keeping the kids away from the harms of technology, “especially social media.”

It’s not like Carrie never posts anything about her sons on social media. But fans and followers always notice the same thing when she does. Just like on Lorraine, she rarely, if ever, lets her boys’ faces appear in photos or videos on her social media.

Last year, Carrie posted a hilarious video of Jacob with the caption: “Jake getting the day started right.” It sounded like he was getting his morning workout in as he watched an unnamed TV show. Carrie could be heard laughing in the background at her younger son’s adorable antics.

Another moment that Carrie shared was what she called “bedtime hijinks.” Carrie was in bed with her son beside her, wearing a dinosaur mask. It looked like she was trying hard not to start laughing.

Then there was the video of Isaiah wearing a Halloween costume and acting silly—and Carrie was all for it. He was dressed up as an “old man,” including a mask, sunglasses, and a suit. 

Carrie could be heard telling Isaiah in the video: “I need the old man dance.” Isaiah’s friends could be heard laughing as he dropped his plastic pumpkin candy holder for a second and made his best impression. 

Carrie Was Away from Her Children During the 2020 Tornado

Carrie’s side of the story is that she’s a “homebody.” When she appeared on Today’s Country Radio With Kelleigh Bannen, she told Kelleigh: “I don’t want to go to restaurants, I don’t want to travel. I don’t want to go anywhere.” Carrie prefers family life on her Nashville farm.

There was one scary moment when Carrie wasn’t home—and she agonized over the safety of her kids. This happened in March 2020 when a devastating EF-3 tornado swept through Tennessee.

According to Taste of Country, Carrie wasn’t at home early that Tuesday morning when the tornado touched down, and Taste of Country alleged that it “made her panic even worse.”

Today.com ran a story about this frightening incident. They described what Carrie said in an interview with Savannah Guthrie and Carson Daly. Carrie was in New York City on a book tour. 

Her sons were only five and one when the natural disaster occurred. She explained to Savannah and Carson that she was texting people she knew, desperately trying to reach Mike at home.

When she finally got her husband on the phone, Mike told Carrie that he had to go upstairs in the middle of the night, grab both of their sons, and get them into a safe room downstairs in their home. Carrie knew what Mike had to be going through. She said she told him: “I bet everybody is crying, it’s 2 a.m., freaking out, so it was scary.”

Carrie Suffered Multiple Miscarriages

Carrie has always been honest about her life. She’s had to learn the hard way that life doesn’t always go as she prayed for. In a shocking interview with People Magazine, Carrie confessed that she suffered three miscarriages before she got pregnant with Jacob.

She asked herself: “What am I doing wrong?” Carrie said: “I remember having conversations with Mike, trying to make sense of it all.” 

But somehow, Carrie found strength in her faith. She said: “If this isn’t meant to happen, then I need to accept that and know that someday I’ll understand why.”

After Jacob was born, Carrie took a sweet picture of Mike and his boys. It’s one of the rare occasions when you can see Isaiah’s face along with his newborn brother. Carrie says that her two boys are close, even though there’s a little bit of an age gap. 

One huge thing Isaiah and Jacob share is a love of themed birthday cakes!

On Isaiah’s birthday, Carrie posted a photo of a ‘Dude Perfect’ custom cake with the message “Happy Birthday Isaiah.” Carrie wrote: “I can’t believe he is 8! Where does the time go?”

As a mom, Carrie is also very aware of how her fame will affect her sons. In an interview with Today, Carrie claimed that Isaiah is “becoming more aware” that her fame is “not normal.” Carrie gave an example of Isaiah going to school and having someone tell him: “I saw your mom on TV last night.”

But Carrie has a plan in place for all of her tours or her Las Vegas residency. Either the boys come out with her during school vacations for a few days, or Carrie goes home. Before Carrie started her Denim & Rhinestones tour, she said: “This tour, I’m going home a lot more than I ever have before.” 

Even though it sounds like Carrie is crazy busy with her country music career, she knows her priorities and is dedicated to keeping her sons’ lives as normal and healthy as possible.

Teyana Taylor Exposes Iman Shumpert’s Parenting

Things are getting messy with Teyana Taylor and Iman Shumpert’s divorce. Teyana just accused her ex of failing to properly care for their daughters. 

The singer and actress and NBA star share two daughters: Rue, 3, and Juni 8. Teyana claims  that Iman “consistently fails to properly care for the minor children” and alleges that he is “failing to feed them despite being in the [marital residence] with the minor children.”

Teyana Made Claims About Iman’s Parenting

She also accuses Iman of “smoking marijuana and being under the influence while caring for the minor children,” PEOPLE reports. In her response, Teyana also claimed that Iman put their two daughters in a rideshare in Chicago while he used a private driver. As a result, the kids were allegedly “dropped off at the United Center in general population.” 

The accusations follow Iman’s response following the original divorce filing, according to PEOPLE. Both Teyana and Iman’s attorneys were contacted by the outlet but have yet to comment.

Teyana filed for divorce in January 2023. However, the couple waited months before making their separation public. 
In September 2023, Teyana shared the news on Instagram. “In all fairness, Iman and I are separated and have been for a while. To be 1000% clear, “infidelity” ain’t one of the reasons for our departure. We are still the best of friends, great business partners and are one hell of a team when it comes to co-parenting our 2 beautiful children,” she wrote. 

“The only reason I’m even sharing THIS part of the chat is because the narratives are getting a little out of hand & it’s unfair to all parties involved,” she added. 

While the former couple managed to keep their separation private and respectful at the time, more details emerged as Teyana officially filed for divorce. 

Teyana and Iman’s Divorce Escalated

Page Six reports that in the original divorce filing, the singer accused her ex-husband of “cruel treatment” and named that as the reason for the divorce. She also alleged he“displayed extreme narcissistic behavior throughout the majority of their marriage.”

Additionally, she alleged that received “condescending and manipulative” messages from Iman, which put her on an “emotional rollercoaster.” She also alleged that Iman cheated on her during their marriage despite the fact that she initially mentioned that infidelity was not part of the equation in her Instagram announcement to fans.

Iman then asked the court to replace “cruel treatment” with “irretrievable broken bond.” He also denied making Teyana feel unsafe during their relationship.

Teyana recently also accused Iman of turning off utilities in a house she’s living in with their kids and alleged that the basketball player had not paid any child support except for covering Junie’s school tuition, per The Daily Mail

The exes met in 2011 but didn’t get romantically involved until 2013, according to Page Six. They made their official debut as a couple in September 2014. They shared both engagement and pregnancy news in 2015. By 2016, they had secretly tied the knot. 

Their divorce battle continues. 

The Truth on Chelsea Houska’s Face

Chelsea Houska DeBoer looks like a different person now compared to when she first stepped into the spotlight. Over the last few years, she’s been making bizarre changes to her face that have left her almost unrecognizable. 

But what kind of cosmetic procedures has Chelsea had? The truth behind her insane transformation is honestly shocking, so let’s get into it.

When Chelsea first rose to MTV fame on 16 and Pregnant and Teen Mom 2, she was only 18. So it makes sense that her appearance has changed over the years, considering she’s now 32. But the aging process still doesn’t explain why her face looks alarmingly different.

Chelsea used to have natural beauty, but now her face almost looks like it’s made of plastic. She’s always had a slightly oval-shaped face, but it’s extremely elongated now and appears to be drooping down more than ever.

Strangely enough, Chelsea’s jaw and cheekbones look incredibly pronounced, which has made her face appear wider overall. There are also parts of her face, especially near her mouth and eyebrows, that basically don’t move anymore. 

Chelsea is no stranger to getting Botox, and her dad has even given her the injections. Since he works as a dentist and has his own office, Randy has been able to help Chelsea keep up with her Botox for a long time. 

But over the last few years, it seems like her injections are doing much more than just erasing her wrinkles, and not in a good way. Chelsea has relied so heavily on Botox to keep her looking young that it’s started to have the total opposite effect. Her eyes appear to be drooping down at the outside corners because areas near them have been overfilled. 

Chelsea Has Admitted to Having a “Little Bit of Filler”

Botox clearly isn’t the only thing she’s had done, considering her lips have gone from natural-looking to ridiculously large. A few years ago, Chelsea was still denying ever getting lip filler until multiple people pointed out the very noticeable difference in the size of her lips. 

So, she finally admitted to having a ‘little bit of filler.’ According to The U.S. Sun, Chelsea even showed herself at a filler touch-up appointment on her Instagram Story in November 2022.

But these days, Chelsea’s lips are starting to look completely unnatural. She’s talked about wanting them to be a little plumper without looking too crazy, but she’s definitely gone too far. She’s had so much filler added to them that they look seriously unbelievable.

Now, Chelsea’s top lip curls up a lot at the corners of her mouth. It looks like there’s an extra fold of skin on the outside corners that was never there before. 

Many people believe she’s also had filler injected into other areas of her face. The upper part of Chelsea’s cheekbones has recently started to appear fuller than ever. Some users speculated that she might have had a cheek implant procedure, but it could be just the result of too much filler.  

The same can be said for Chelsea’s chin and jaw, which have been constantly morphing over the last few years. In a video posted to her Instagram Story, she revealed that she had recently started getting Botox in her jaw. The reason why was truly bizarre.

Chelsea explained that whenever she was feeling stressed or anxious, she would clench her teeth. Apparently, when she was getting her regular touch-ups, the injector suggested getting Botox in her jaw to help her clench her teeth less.

Fans Suspect That Chelsea May Have Undergone Surgery

But there’s another facial feature of Chelsea’s that seems to look quite a bit different than it used to. Many people have speculated that she’s either had a surgical nose job or a Botox nose job because the tip of her nose appears smaller and the bridge looks narrower. 

She also used to have more hooded eyes, but now they look like they’ve undergone an unreal transformation. Now, the space between Chelsea’s eyelids and brow bone appears much larger, and her eyes look more open. 

Some people suspected that she might have had a blepharoplasty or surgery to remove extra skin from her eyelids. But she may have had a much simpler and less invasive procedure.

Chelsea might have had a Botox brow lift, which could achieve basically the same results as a blepharoplasty. Considering all the other places on her face she’s injected with Botox, it wouldn’t be a surprise if she’d added her upper eye and brow areas to the list.

Chelsea may not be able to tell how drastically her appearance has transformed solely from Botox and fillers. But even just getting regular upkeep injections done frequently over the years can cause so many unexpected facial changes.

Chelsea Likely Has “Filler Fatigue”

According to an article by HuffPost, ‘filler fatigue’ happens when a person has had so much filler injected that it stretches their facial tissue over time. Michelle Yagoda, a plastic surgeon based in New York, told the outlet that even if someone gets their filler dissolved professionally, the damage has probably already been done. 

She explained that every time someone gets filler injected, that area underneath the skin increases in size. Eventually, a big pocket is created. That pocket requires even more filler injected into it just to give the typical desired effect. 

But what happens when someone with filler fatigue continues to get more injections over time is honestly insane. Michelle added that sometimes people will try to inflate those pockets with so much extra filler that it results in their faces looking super wide and disproportionate.

When they attempt to balance out their facial features by getting more filler in other areas, it just leads to the same cycle of overfilling. That could explain why Chelsea’s cheeks are starting to appear wider, and her cheekbones have been looking so much more pronounced. It doesn’t help that her teeth also appear whiter and larger than ever, which indicates that she could have gotten veneers. 

But it’s not just Chelsea’s face that’s changed a crazy amount over the years. A lot of social media users have speculated that Chelsea has either had a tummy tuck or liposuction. 

There’s no denying that her strict diet and extreme exercise regimen have helped her stay in shape. But not everyone is convinced that she’s only taken the natural route to get so fit and toned.

Chelsea Rarely Addresses Plastic Surgery Rumors

As weird as it sounds, many people on Teen Mom Reddit forums have pointed out that Chelsea’s belly button has changed so much over time. She used to have a normal-looking belly button, but now it appears as a very small dent on her abdomen.

But that’s not all.

About a year and a half ago, Chelsea’s Instagram followers noticed something crazy. Despite her intense workout routine and her thin frame, her chest suddenly appeared to be much larger than before. 

According to The U.S. Sun, Chelsea had been promoting some new clothes from her collaboration with Lauriebelles in photos that she shared on her Instagram Story. The tops she had on were very form-fitting, which made it easy to see that her chest looked much different. Many people began to suspect that Chelsea had recently had work done to enhance the size of her chest. 

She rarely addresses any plastic surgery rumors about herself. As of a couple of years ago, she was still denying that she’d ever had any cosmetic procedures done other than Botox and fillers. 

Chelsea has been open about the facial treatments that she regularly gets, like micro peels and Broadband Light treatments. Considering how much her face has changed, it’s definitely possible that she’s secretly had some other procedures done. 

Even if Chelsea is sticking to only Botox and fillers, she may want to be careful about not overdoing it. Based on how wide and down-turned parts of her face look, she might be dealing with filler fatigue. 

So, instead of continuing to overfill her face, Chelsea may need to get some of her fillers professionally dissolved. Otherwise, she’s going to end up looking even more unrecognizable than she already does. 

Run DMC Killers Found Guilty

It’s been over two decades since Jam Master Jay of Run DMC fame had his life taken away from him. In the last couple of days, the men thought to be responsible for his tragic passing were finally convicted. 

Last Tuesday, as reported in AP News, one of the most mysterious cases in hip-hop history came to a close. An anonymous jury in Brooklyn found Jam Master Jay’s close associates, Karl Jordan Jr. and Ronald Washington, guilty of taking the legendary DJ’s life in 2002. 

In all that time, investigations into the incident proved complicated and confusing. The authorities were led in several directions thanks to various tips, rumors, and theories over the years.

Top prosecutor Breon Peace told reporters about the difficulties authorities had experienced trying to solve the case. He said, “It’s no mystery why it took years to indict and arrest the defendants.”

His reason was that vital witnesses to the crime “were terrified that they would be retaliated against if they cooperated with law enforcement.” He added, “Their strength and resolve in testifying at this trial were a triumph of right over wrong and courage over fear.”

Although much time has passed since the attack, the story is no less tragic. This was especially true because Jam Master Jay lost his life at the hands of two people he considered to be close friends.

One of them, Karl Jordan Jr, was actually his godson. Ronald Wahington was an old friend living at the DJ’s sister’s home at the time. 

Despite Their Protests, the Defendants Were Found Guilty

18 years after the hit, both men were finally arrested in 2020 and went on to plead not guilty to the charge. After the jury read the verdict, Ronald yelled at the jurors that they had just sentenced “two innocent people.” The supporters of his fellow defendant also started shouting at the jury after the decision was read out.

Both men’s lawyers also restated their belief in their innocence. One of Ronald’s lawyers stated, “My client did not do this. And the jury heard testimony about the person who did.”

In 2003, Ronald had given an interview to Playboy, in which he claimed to have heard the shots from outside the studio. He also said that he saw Karl Jr, whom he called Little D, running out of the building. 

Despite protests from the defendants and their legal teams, the family of Jam Master Jay was relieved to hear the verdict given. His cousin, Carlis Thompson, said he felt like a “2000-pound weight” had been lifted after the decision. However, AP also reported that the family was saddened that the DJ’s mother had not lived to see the conviction. 

Jam Master Jay was thought to have been attacked after getting involved in trafficking illegal substances to pay off debts. Assistant US Attorney Artie McConnell explained that he got involved “to take care of the people who depended on him.”

Many of those same people might now finally find peace, decades after losing one of hip-hop’s great pioneers.
