Nia Long and her ex-fiance have reached a settlement over custody in their divorce proceedings. People Magazine reported on January 23 that Nia and NBA coach Ime Udoka have finalized their agreement regarding custody and child support for their son, Kez.

Court documents obtained by People have reportedly shown that Nia will have sole physical custody of the twelve-year-old. However, it was also reported that both parents will continue to share joint legal custody, with Ime being afforded reasonable visitation with their son.

People reported that the reason given in the documents for this decision was Ime’s need to travel with the Houston Rockets during and around the NBA season. The documents read, “Udoka shall have reasonable visitation with Kes, which may take into consideration Kez’s schedule and concerns.” “But,” it continued, “shall not prevent or interfere with Kez’s visitation with Udoka.” 

People also reported that Ime will be responsible for Kez’s travel expenses during visitation around the NBA season. In addition, Ime will pay for his son’s nanny to transport him.

The document went on to assert that “if the parties are unable to agree upon Udoka’s visitation,” they would have to consult Kez’s “treating therapist.” The therapist would then “encourage the visits with Udoka” and inform both parents of what was best for Kez.

People reported that Nia and Ime would share or alternate holidays with their son. Ime will be allowed “up to three non-consecutive weeks of vacation time with Kez each year.” Nia will also reportedly receive $32,000 per month in child support from her ex.

Nia Continues to Focus on Her Children

The settlement has come at the end of a long, drawn-out breakup between the former couple.

Nia filed for legal and physical custody of their son last August. The filing came eight months after the couple ended their 13-year relationship in December 2022. Documents related to Nia’s filing were later obtained by Entertainment Tonight

In the documents, Nia reportedly requested that Ime have “reasonable visitation” as long it was “consistent with the child’s best interests.” However, People reported that Nia had alleged in her filing for custody that her former partner had “failed” to support their child, who they welcomed in 2011.

The former couple got engaged in 2015 but called things off seven years later. Their split followed Ime’s suspension as head coach of the Boston Celtics for an alleged affair with a co-worker.

When news of their breakup became public, Nia issued a statement to People. She said, “The outpouring of love and support” she had received meant so much to her. She went on to say, “Above all, I am a mother and will continue to focus on my children.”

Following the settlement of her custody battle, Nia appears to be able to focus on raising her youngest son. Ime, meanwhile, stated last April that he was taking part in counseling with his son “to help him improve the situation that I put him in.”

1000-lbs Sisters’ Tammy Slaton Takes Her First Plane Ride

Tammy Slaton’s body transformation journey continues with a major milestone: Her first plane ride alongside sisters Misty and Amanda. 

The 1000-lbs Sisters star has lost about 440 pounds since undergoing bariatric surgery in 2022 and can now fit in a plane seat. The moment was documented on a January 23 episode of the TLC reality TV show, where Tammy is shown feeling anxious before a flight to Pensacola, FL, E! News reports.

Tammy actually purchased two economy seats as a precaution, which she didn’t end up needing. “When I actually got on the plane and sat down and was comfortable,” Tammy shared in a confessional. “I was kind of surprised that I didn’t need both seats that we paid for.” She added that she was able to buckle her seat belt. 

Tammy Was Nervous About Turbulence During the Flight

Weight loss victory aside, it was a turbulent flight. “I was cool until we actually started lifting off,” said Tammy. “My family forgot to mention some stuff about the plane ride. The turbulence was really bad. Once I was able to compare to things I’ve already done, like riding in a car or going over train tracks, I was golden.”

When the plane landed, Tammy cheered and made jokes about making it alive: “We made it! Safely!” 

“I’m ready for another one,” she added. This significant milestone follows an extensive weight loss journey. Viewers met Tammy in 2020 when she weighed over 700 pounds and could barely walk, let alone travel. Since then, they have continued to witness the ups and downs of her transformation.

Tammy’s Weight Loss Transformation Ups and Downs

Tammy nearly didn’t make it after a health scare that had her put in a medically induced coma with a ventilator. She then returned to a weight loss rehab to continue working on her health goals and lose enough weight for bariatric surgery. 

Tammy now weighs about 285 pounds. She shows off her continued weight loss on Instagram and shares healthy living tips with her followers. “Oh, you eat proteins, low carbs, no sugars, no pop, portion control,” she told an Instagram user.  

Her lungs have also gotten stronger and she requires less support from her oxygen machine. “I’m thankful to be alive, and it’s fun to be progressing as much as I am,” she told PEOPLE

Tammy and Caleb: A Tragic Love Story

Despite those wins, Tammy unfortunately experienced tragedy when her husband, Caleb Willingham, passed away at the age of 40 in June 2023.

Tammy and Caleb met at a weight loss rehab center, and their love story was documented on 1000-lbs Sisters. The couple often fought about Caleb’s struggle with food addiction and Tammy’s desire to make healthier choices. 

“He was my best friend and I loved him dearly. When I met Caleb he became my guardian angel and now he really is watching over me,” Tammy said in a heartbreaking statement to PEOPLE. 

Later on, in an interview with the outlet, she revealed that she had Caleb’s ashes turned into jewelry: “Knowing that he’s with me, it’s helping me pass the day. I find myself grabbing my necklace and holding it a lot. When I take off my jewelry, I feel like it’s weird, separation anxiety. I start panicking,” she said. 

Chris Young Arrested

Chris Young was arrested on January 22nd at a bar in Midtown Nashville. He was charged with assaulting an officer, disorderly conduct, and resisting arrest.

According to court documents obtained by WKRN, the 38-year-old singer was at a bar called Tin Roof with some people he knew. At approximately 8:30 in the evening, a couple of regulatory agents came into the bar for a compliance check. The report by the agents said that when they walked into the bar, a man, later found to be Chris, had his ID in his hand above his head.

Chris Young Reportedly Followed the Agents

WKRN reported that after they checked his identification, he allegedly started to follow the agents around. Young asked them some questions and then took videos of them on his cellphone. When the officers left the bar to perform a compliance check at the next one, Chris and the group of people he was with continued to follow them. The arrest affidavit stated that they followed the pair to Dawg House. When it was time for the agents to move on from that establishment, Chris supposedly made it clear that he didn’t want them to go. One of the agents said that while walking out the door, Chris put his hands out to stop him from leaving the bar. He then allegedly struck him on the shoulder.

The report specified that his eyes were bloodshot and watery at the time and that his speech was slurred. The agent claimed that he pushed the country star away to create distance since he had no idea who he was or what he had. Allegedly, patrons of the bar then got up, put themselves between Chris and the agent, and started yelling.

Whiskey Riff reported that things then got even more physical. According to the court documents, it took two officers to finally physically detain him. He was booked into the Nashville Metro Jail later that night. On Tuesday 23rd, he was released and is scheduled to appear in court on the 16th of February.

Chris Has Been Promoting His Upcoming Album

The incident happened just days after Chris performed a few of his hits at another Nashville bar, the Bootleggers Inn. He uploaded a video of his show on TikTok.

He’s been promoting his latest album, which he said will be his largest one yet. It’s called Young Love & Saturday Nights and is scheduled for release in March 2024. In an Instagram post, Chris revealed that it’ll be his ninth studio album and will have 18 tracks on it.

Chris has also been getting some media attention because of his dramatic weight loss. An article by People Magazine reported that he’d lost 60 pounds since 2022. He told the news outlet that he’d been cooking his own food a lot more and working out a little bit more. In the caption for a shirtless picture of himself that he posted on Instagram, Chris shared how much weight he’d already lost and added that he was still not done. The post got a lot of support from fans and other country singers in the comments section.

Elle King’s Drunken Tribute to Dolly Parton

Reports have come out that country singer Elle King gave a pretty off-key performance at a concert celebrating Dolly Parton’s 78th birthday. TMZ first shared that Elle allegedly appeared to be under the influence while performing at the show at the Grand Ole Opry.

TMZ also reported that Elle admitted to having had “one too many”  before stepping onto the stage. According to the online outlet, Elle was caught on multiple videos “botching” her rendition of Dolly’s song “Marry Me.” Elle allegedly appeared to have forgotten some of the lyrics to the tune before unleashing a string of curse words. Some of the footage of Elle’s performance was later uploaded to TikTok by user @auctioneergirl.

In the clip, Elle can be seen standing at a microphone as she sings, only for her voice to start cracking as she forgets the words. Elle is then filmed admitting that she didn’t know the words before pleading with the crowd not to tell Dolly.

TMZ reported that at one point, Elle also mocked the audience for buying tickets to the show. In the clip, she explained in an expletive-laden rant, “I’m not even gonna lie. Y’all bought tickets for this. You ain’t getting your money back.”One fan shouted back, “I don’t want it,” before Elle replied, “Good, ’cause you ain’t getting it.” She then added, “I’ll tell you one more thing. Hi, my name is Elle King. I’m hammered.” 

One of Elle’s bandmates reportedly suggested that they play one of her own songs. The 34-year-old singer and daughter of Rob Schneider responded, saying, “I can barely play another person’s song. Let me see if I can play one of mine.” 

Elle Has Received Backlash on Social Media

Following the concert, one fan who attended complained about Elle on X, formerly known as Twitter. They wrote that Elle “ruined the night with her horrible, drunk, and profane performance.” The fan added that “Parton would have been mortified.” TMZ reported that Elle has not yet commented on the backlash to her performance.

However, others have reportedly had their say. The Daily Mail reported that the Grand Ole Opry, where the concert was held, has spoken out on the controversy. According to the outlet, the venue released a statement in which they said, “We deeply regret and apologize for the language that was used during last night’s second Opry performance.” 

The apology was attached to the tweet from the unhappy fan.

The fan had mentioned the venue in her tweet, writing, “For our first time at the Opry, it was a shame we all had to witness that.” They continued, “It was such a disappointment to spend $300 on tickets for a show where one of the artists ruined an entire night.”

Another person who commented on Elle’s performance was Dolly’s sister Stella. The Daily Mail reported that Stella had defended Elle on one point. She posted on X that she “didn’t see or hear” the concert but wrote, “Some lil girl by the name of Elle King apparently cussed and insulted some of Dolly’s fans.” She went on to defend Elle on one point, writing, “I guess it’s ok if you’re male.” However, she also branded Elle as a “hillbilly.”

Dolly has so far said nothing about Elle’s appearance at her tribute concert.

What’s Going On With Kevin Costner’s Ex?

On January 15th, People revealed what’s been going on with Kevin Costner’s ex-wife, Christine, following their split. Christine is allegedly dating a man, her former neighbor in Santa Barbara. This relationship news was provided to the media outlet from two exclusive sources.

One of these exclusive sources claims to be a friend of Christine’s. This source revealed to People that Christine had been seeing the other man for months. The source said that Christine only began dating this man “since she split from Kevin.” The man they are referring to is Josh Connor. Josh works in finance. He used to live near Christine when she was married to Kevin and lived in a massive compound in Santa Barbara, California.

RELATED: Jennifer Hudson and Common Add to Relationship Rumors

The source also alleged that Josh was “initially just a friend” to Christine, but they say that Christine “likes hanging out with him” now. Christine’s friend describes Josh as a “divorced dad,” and they claim that Josh understands what Christine has been going through. The source also shared what Josh and Christine have in common. According to the source, Christine and Josh “both love the ocean and beach life.” That’s “something that makes Christine happy.”

While the source alleged that Christine and Josh did not begin dating until she was officially divorced from Kevin, according to People magazine, the timing of their relationship did become an issue in court during Kevin and Christine’s divorce proceedings. Christine’s divorce attorney is John Rydell. In August 2023, during child support hearings, People reported that  John denied any romance rumors between Christine and Josh. John told the court that Josh was nothing more than a friend to Christine and was supporting her through her divorce from Kevin. Christine filed for divorce from Kevin in May 2023.

Christine and Josh Were Just Friends

According to People, another source from “the Costner’s circle” of friends confirmed what the first source told the media outlet. The second source told People that Christine and Josh “are dating” now. They also claimed that Christine and Josh “had a strong friendship before that.” The second source also believes Christine and Josh are in the “same place in their lives.” They said that Josh and Christine are “having a lot of fun together,” and their friendship has now become a romance.

People also described a recent sighting of Josh and Christine, as reported by the Daily Mail. The Mail published photos of Christine and Josh. She was driving him back to his home in Montecito, California. Another photo showed Josh pulling a suitcase away from Christine’s vehicle after he got out of her car.

TMZ obtained photos in July 2023, confirming that Christine and Josh had been on at least one getaway together this past summer. The photos showed Christine and Josh vacationing in Hualalai, Hawaii, but they weren’t alone. Other TMZ photos showed Christine’s three children enjoying that vacation with her and Josh.

That friendly vacation in Hawaii got dragged into Christine’s custody battle. John told the court that Josh lent Christine $20,000 during a moment of personal “distress.” Christine even testified on the stand that Josh had funded the Hawaii trip for “everyone.” Christine also testified that she shared a room with another friend on the Hawaii trip. She was also asked in court if Josh was her boyfriend in July 2023. Christine answered, “No.”

Kevin and Christine Settled Their Divorce “Suddenly” and “Amicably”

After a lengthy battle in an L.A. divorce court, described by People as being “tense” and “contentious,” one of Kevin’s reps issued a statement to People that came from Christine and Kevin. The statement read, “Kevin and Christine Costner have come to an amicable and mutually agreed upon resolution of all issues pertaining to their divorce proceedings.” Kevin and Christine finalized their divorce in September 2023.

A legal source spoke to People exclusively about the settlement. This source claimed to know why Kevin and Christine decided to settle their divorce so “suddenly” and “amicably.” David Glass currently practices family law in California and is also a former psychologist. Although he wasn’t personally involved in the divorce case between Kevin and Christine, David told People that he believes the money issue was a significant factor for Kevin.

Additionally, David believes that the public squabbling in court embarrassed Kevin and Christine. David told People, in part, “Mrs. Costner didn’t do well” because Christine only got one-third of the child support she requested. Christine was also told that the prenup she had signed would be upheld, and she didn’t receive any “award for fees.”

Costner’s Divorce Concerns Were Allegedly Finacial

As for Kevin, David claimed it was likely “just a money situation.” David mentioned all the questions that a client like Kevin would potentially consider or discuss with his legal team. This included how much it would cost for him to go all the way through trial. David claims that Kevin would have considered how much time and pressure would be on him to continue battling Christine in court. That could distract Kevin and his kids and potentially have a negative impact on his career.

David told People that Kevin must have considered what he could pay just to be done with his marriage and settle the money issue for good. The court battle was finally over, and Kevin and Christine were officially divorced.

Snoop Dogg’s 24-Year-Old Daughter Suffers Stroke

Snoop Dogg’s daughter, Cori Broadus, suffered from a stroke Thursday morning, January 18th, as reported by TMZ. The stroke occurred in the morning hours, and Cori was completely unaware of it until she woke up in the hospital. Doctors told her that she had suffered from a stroke that morning, and she broke down crying.

Cori Shared Her Experience on Social Media

In a series of Instagram posts, Cori posted about the experience. In one post, she revealed to fans that she had woken up in the hospital, and doctors were waiting to tell her that she’d suffered from a stroke earlier that morning. The photo itself pictured a hospital bed that Cori was supposedly resting in.

In another Instagram post, Cori lamented over why she had suffered from a stroke at such an early age. She stated in the post that she was 24 years old and wondered what she had done in a past life to deserve to experience a stroke at such a young age. The cause behind the stroke is still unconfirmed, and Cori is still receiving treatment for the stroke she suffered.

Cori also suffers from Lupus, an autoimmune disease, which she was initially diagnosed with at the age of six. Lupus causes your body to attack its own tissues and organs because it thinks it’s a disease. The inflammation that Lupus causes can damage several organs like your skin, kidneys, heart, lungs, and even your brain. Lupus can be difficult to diagnose since it mimics many other ailments. One of the most telling symptoms is a red rash that spreads across the skin. According to the Mayo Clinic, there is currently no cure for Lupus.

Cori Took a Holistic Approach to Her Treatment

Cori told People Magazine back in September 2023 that she had switched up her treatments for Lupus. Since the age of six, she’d been taking between 10 and 12 medications every day to try and ease the symptoms of Lupus. She didn’t want to be taking those drugs anymore, especially at such a young age. Instead, Cori started taking a holistic approach to her health. The treatment focuses on natural methods rather than pills. It involves drinking tea, taking herbs, and working out. She also added that she drank more water and has been sticking to the new treatment.

Cori told People that taking all those pills became a lot; she didn’t want to be a 24-year-old and on that many pills. When she started her new treatment program, she quit her pills cold turkey. Her hope is just to be okay, although she knows that isn’t going to be the case every day. For the majority of the time, Cori just wants to be okay mentally and physically.

Snoop Dogg has been supportive of his daughter throughout her struggles. In a People Magazine interview in 2010, he called Cori the toughest little thing he had ever met. She was accomplishing so much at school despite suffering from Lupus. He said that Lupus was winning the fight at the beginning, but now Cori was beating it.

Snoop Dogg has yet to release a statement about Cori’s stroke.

Nathan Speaks Out on Jenelle’s CPS Case

Nathan Griffith has reportedly spoken out about the recent CS investigation into his ex, Jenelle Evans. According to TeenMomFanz on Instagram, Nathan gave an exclusive response following the news that his Teen Mom ex is no longer being investigated. In his alleged response, Nathan said that he “just wants what’s best for his son.” Nathan is the father of Jennelle’s son, Kaiser.

When Nathan was allegedly asked by the fan page if he would be fighting for custody of Kaiser, he had this to say, “I’m not in a position to go to court. I just want what’s best for my son. That’s all I want.”

He was then asked if he was disappointed that CPS was ending the investigation into Jenelle and her husband David Eason. Nathan was reported to have said in response, “I’m not happy or mad. I think the agents did a[n] investigation and came to a conclusion based on the facts.” 

The fan page asked Nathan when was the last time he had seen his son. He allegedly answered that he had not visited his child in “over a year or more.” When queried about the state of his co-parenting relationship with Jenelle, Nathan allegedly stated, “We’re stable, we don’t fight. We haven’t fought in a long time.”

Jenelle Has Stood By Her Husband David

However, Jenelle has reportedly been fighting hard against the case against her husband, David. In Touch reported last week that Jenelle had described reports about David’s charges as “BS.”

After one of her social media followers reportedly claimed that she was “always the victim”, Jenelle bit back. The 32-year-old said, “I’m over here minding my own business, trying to post positive content and people are constantly trying to bring me down.” She added, “Guess you wouldn’t have anxiety of a new BS article gets posted about your family [two to three] times a week.”

According to In Touch, the Teen Mom 2 star’s comments were shared on social media just minutes after news emerged about her husband’s charges. On January 12, Jenelle posted that she lived in “the most corrupt place in the world.”

Her husband’s charges first arose concerning an alleged incident with Jenelle’s eldest son, Jace Evans, in September last year. This allegedly led to Jace attempting to run away from home for the third time. On January 10, the former reality star turned up at Columbus Superior Court, North Carolina, and was indicted. In Touch reported that Jace went into CPS custody, but Jenelle has stood by David throughout the allegations. She described what her husband was being accused of as “horrible”, but “not true.” 

After the alleged remarks of her ex, Nathan, were shared online, many commenters were critical of him for getting involved at all. One asked, “Why is his opinion even being asked for? He’s a deadbeat. He doesn’t matter.” Another wrote, “If you wanted what was best for him, you’d fight for custody.” 

In Touch reported yesterday that Jenelle has been visiting Jace in CPS custody over the last few weeks, according to an anonymous source.

Meri Brown Announces New Boyfriend

Photo Credits: Meri Brown/Instagram

Meri Brown has announced that she has a new boyfriend on Instagram. On her 53rd birthday, she made the announcement. Meri shared four pictures of him, and in the caption, she shared information about him. She said that his name is Amos and that she’s been dating him since October.

She joked that he’s not 6 foot 6 or a pilot, which were two qualities that she previously said she wanted in a man. However, she did say that he loves Christmas as much as her and that they laugh together. Plus, she shared that her dog loves him. Finally, she shared that she had been keeping her new relationship to herself. In honor of her birthday, she wanted everyone to celebrate this new development in her life with her.

Amos Wasn’t Mentioned at Christine’s Wedding

This news comes just days after the second part of Christine’s wedding special aired. Christine Brown got married to her new husband, David, on October 7th. In the wedding special, Meri was asked about her future relationships. She shared that she hoped to find love again like Christine had and that she was happy for her.

Based on the timeline of Christine’s wedding, Meri and Amos were most likely already dating when her interview was filmed. Fans of Sister Wives believe that Meri kept the news of her new relationship private until after Christine and David’s wedding had finished airing to give Christine her own moment before announcing her own big news. Meri hasn’t confirmed that theory just yet.

Meri Will Likey Share More About Amos on Sister Wives

Fans quickly shared their opinions on Amos and just how different he seems to be from Kody, at least in terms of appearances. Both Meri and Christine have now dated men who were bald after being Kody, who is notoriously obsessed with his hair. This isn’t the first time that Meri has been seen with Amos.

Just a few months ago, Meri was seen out to dinner with him at a restaurant. A fan spotted the two of them at dinner and took a picture. At the time, everyone questioned his identity and whether or not they were just friends or more. His identity was a mystery for months.

Until now, when she’s finally revealed his identity. She hasn’t shared much about who he is just yet, aside from his love from Christmas, that is. So far, she hasn’t shared his last name, how they met, or where he lives.

Christine originally did the same thing when she started dating her now-husband, David. Eventually, she revealed more about him on Sister Wives. Most likely, Meri will do the same thing on the next season of Sister Wives.

Jenelle Evans CPS Update

On January 16th, The US Sun reported that Jenelle Evans’ kids, Ensley and Kaiser, will not be removed from her home. This announcement follows an investigation by Child Protective Services (CPS) into matters concerning Jenelle and her husband, David Eason.

Sources told the Sun that the CPS case against Jenelle and David had been going on for months. Investigators came to their home in North Carolina, and the CPS case included interviews with both children on multiple occasions. Jenelle and David call their property “The Land.”

A source alleged to the Sun that Jenelle’s son, Jace Evans, will never return to “The Land” again. This source said, “Jace will never go back to Jenelle’s home, not as long as David is there.”

The source also claimed that the outcome of Ensley and Kaiser’s CPS case is not connected to the CPS file on Jace. It’s also separate from criminal charges against David when he allegedly hurt Jace during a physical confrontation in September 2023.

CPS Questioned Jenelle About Her Two Younger Children

Last October, multiple sources informed The US Sun what had happened at a court hearing involving Jenelle. Jenelle was in court to fight her mother, Barbara, for custody of Jace.

The Ashley’s Reality Roundup exclusively confirmed that David showed up at the hearing. He was removed from the hearing and banned by the court from having any contact with Jace. Jenelle was stripped of custody. She’s no longer allowed to see Jace or speak to him unless Jace initiates the contact.

The Sun reported that the judge, a sheriff’s deputy, and a CPS caseworker began questioning Jenelle more about her two younger children. Sources also claimed that the caseworker berated Jenelle in court.

Allegedly, Jenelle was making it difficult for CPS to interview Ensley and Kaiser on previous occasions. As a result, the judge issued a court order to have Ensley and Kaiser interviewed by CPS away from “The Land.” The judge stated that David or Jenelle could not be present during the CPS interviews with their children

RELATED: Kailyn Lowry Reveals Custody Battle With Chris Lopez

In court, the sheriff’s deputy also asked to obtain backup evidence, and the caseworker requested the judge to speak to Jenelle and David’s other family members. Allegedly, CPS thought that other witnesses might provide additional evidence of any physical harm occurring with the minor children. 

A source also claimed that “The judge asked a lot of questions about what Jace saw.” 

Last fall, the judge was taking allegations of physical harm against Jenelle’s younger children “very seriously.” In The US Sun’s October 2023 report, a source revealed that nine-year-old Kaiser had gotten into trouble at school. The source claimed, “Kaiser was suspended from school for a week recently. He’s in third grade. It’s not normal at all.”

David’s Case Fit the Description of a Serious Felony

Although the CPS case on Ensley and Kaiser has now been closed, David’s criminal charges were recently upgraded. The Sun obtained information from a court clerk. The clerk explained that cases in district court are generally traffic-related or low-level infractions. After reviewing David’s criminal charges, the judge determined that David’s case didn’t belong in district court.

Allegedly, the judge felt that David’s case fit the description of a more serious felony case. The clerk said, “They found enough evidence to take his case out of district court, where misdemeanors are held, and bring it to superior.” A source told the Sun that a grand jury heard David’s case on January 10th. He was formally indicted by that grand jury in North Carolina.

The Sun obtained court documents that specified the injuries Jace had sustained during his alleged physical confrontation with David. These court documents also say that David “willingly harmed” Jenelle’s son. The court document said, “The physical injury inflicted caused marks on their right arm and left and right side of the neck, and was inflicted by other than accidental means.”

Although David has denied all wrongdoing in the alleged physical confrontation, Jace allegedly told authorities and investigators that there were witnesses to the physical confrontation with his stepfather. An exclusive source told the Sun, “They had a Ring camera that captured the incident.”

Jace is now in the custody of Child Protective Services, and he’s been under medical supervision since November 2023.

Kendra Wilkinson’s Struggle with Mental Health

Photo Credits: Kendra Wilkinson/Instagram

Kendra Wilkson recently opened up to People in an exclusive interview about her mental health.

It began with a frightening episode that happened to Kendra in September 2023. She recalled that her chest felt tight, she became short of breath, and Kendra described being overcome by fear. She told People, “I was in a state of panic. I didn’t know what was going on in my head and my body or why I was crying.” At that moment, Kendra claimed that she hit rock bottom.

TMZ reported that Kendra suffered a bad panic attack during the night of Tuesday, September 5th. She didn’t sleep at all that night. On Wednesday, September 6th, Kendra decided to check herself into the hospital. A TMZ source was on site when Kendra arrived at the emergency room. They claimed that Kendra was desperate for medical assistance, and Kendra was overheard pleading for someone to find her a doctor. Kendra’s rep confirmed to TMZ that Hank Baskett, her ex-husband, was by her side in the hospital while Kendra rested and received medical treatment.

Kendra provided more shocking details in her interview with People. The outlet reported that Kendra’s eyes filled with tears as she claimed that she was at risk of losing her life because of her depression. Kendra also said, “I was hitting the end of my life, and I went into psychosis. I felt like I wasn’t strong enough to live anymore.”

Kendra Didn’t Know How to Be Happy

Before the panic attack occurred, Kendra did provide some clues that her mental health had been suffering.

Kendra spoke on Melissa Gorga, who is best known as a star of Real Housewives of New Jersey. Melissa hosts a podcast, On Display with Melissa Gorga, and Kendra appeared on an episode in June 2023. Kendra confessed that she had begun to feel “so lost” after she got divorced from Hank.

She also discussed how she felt after her final reality TV show, Kendra Sells Hollywood, was not renewed. Kendra told Melissa, “It was impossible to be happy at that point. I didn’t even know how to be happy.” At that point, Kendra said she was left with no marriage, and no TV show, and she was forced to move into a much smaller house. Kendra told Melissa, “I didn’t understand what was going on, and all of a sudden, I had to do some intense healing.”

While Kendra said her two children gave her purpose, she no longer knew who she was. She had to face the demons of her past when she lived in the Playboy world as one of Hugh Hefner’s girlfriends. Kendra told People, “It’s not easy to look back at my 20s.” She also revealed, “Playboy really messed my whole life up.”

A week after her trip to the emergency room, Kendra had to return to the hospital and was prescribed an antipsychotic medication. She also began therapy sessions three times a week at UCLA. There, Kendra started tackling all the unresolved traumas in her life. To make the situation harder, Kendra had been struggling in her real estate career. She said she was giving up and couldn’t find the light because it felt like there was no hope.

Hank Took Kendra to the Hospital

Kendra also revealed she couldn’t trust people anymore after her messy divorce. At the time, she cut ties with her family and many close friends. When she hit rock bottom, Kendra told People that she was forced to reach out for help. She said, “There was a moment where I looked at my ex-husband, and I said, ‘Take me to the hospital.’” Kendra revealed that was a crucial moment, saying, “To accept help that day and for Hank to drive me to the hospital was a huge day in both of our lives.”

Now, Kendra claims she feels more at peace about her split from Hank. She said, “Our whole marriage was on camera, and I don’t think we ever really got a chance to know each other. She claims that reconciliation is not in their future, but she’s also grateful that Hank took her to the hospital and stayed with her because he cares.

Now, Kendra is refocusing on building her real estate career back up and being the best mom to her children. She is ready to find love again, and one day, she might even get remarried. Kendra claimed that a year ago, she was “body-shaming” herself, but she told People, “I’m living now.”
