Holly Madison Opens Up About Autism Diagnosis

Photo Credit: Talking to Death

Holly Madison recently revealed that she’s been diagnosed with autism. She spoke openly about it with Payne Lindsey on his podcast.

The 43-year-old explained that, according to her doctor, she had high executive functioning, which meant that she could pretty much go about her life and do things, as Holly said  “quote unquote normally.”

Holly Always Suspected She Might Be On the Spectrum

Before getting her autism diagnosis, Holly had shared that she suspected that there was a chance that she might be on the spectrum.

During an interview with Alex Cooper on Holly’s podcast, “Call Her Daddy,” the reality TV star spoke about how she had a hard time fitting in. She thought that she might have Asperger’s and considered visiting a doctor to get an official diagnosis.

After getting that diagnosis, she also told Payne that she’d been suspicious of it for a while and always had trouble socially — she struggles with not recognizing social cues and not picking up on things the same way other people did.

However, she she kept making excuses for it. At first, Holly thought that it might’ve had something to do with her upbringing. She explained that she thought it was because she’d grown up in Alaska, but around middle school she moved to Oregon, which was a big social change for her. She was very introverted, and she’d always written her challenges off as that.

How Knowing About Her Autism Changed Holly’s Interactions

Holly said that knowing about her autism meant that she could justify some of her behavior patterns. When speaking to Payne, she revealed that because she was more quiet, she’d only recently learned to make eye contact. She went on to say that she was often in her own thoughts, and that sometimes people were offended by that.

She added that others sometimes assume that she isn’t interested in them. Holly also confessed that she just isn’t on the same social wavelength as other people, but that people shouldn’t take it personally, and that she likes being able to explain that now that she officially knows that she’s autistic.

But those aren’t the only social difficulties that Holly has struggled with. She also opened up about how she didn’t really have a gauge for when other people were going to be done speaking, so she tends to interrupt a lot. When Payne assured her that she hadn’t been interrupting him during their interview, she thanked him and added that she was learning.

The podcast host later asked Holly if there was anything that she’d like to share with his listeners about autism in general, or about her own experience being on the spectrum. She responded that everybody operates differently, and it’s important to have a little bit of patience when interacting with anybody. No one knows what a person might be dealing with or what their level of social function is, after all.

Holly first confirmed that she’d been diagnosed as someone on the spectrum during an interview on Coco Mocoe’s podcast, “Ahead Of The Curve.” The World Health Organization describes autism spectrum disorders as a diverse group of conditions that are identified by different sorts of challenges with things like communication and social interaction.

Mama June Gets Custody of Anna’s Daughter

TMZ reports that Mama June is taking over parenting duties for one of her grandkids.

Family sources told the outlet that June currently has custody of Kaitlyn, the 11-year-old daughter of Anna ‘Chickadee’ Cardwell. Anna passed away last Saturday after a battle with cancer, leaving behind two daughters with two different dads.

TMZ’s sources reported that her other daughter, Kylee, is now living with her biological father, Michael. The outlet was told that the family had already put a plan in place for the eight-year-old Kylee to move in with her dad if something happened to Anna.

Kaitlyn Is Mama June’s First Grandchild

Mama June’s late daughter was diagnosed with her illness back in January. TMZ reported that Kaitlyn and June have a very close bond, as Kaitlyn is June’s first grandchild.

And that the family were all in agreement that moving Kaitlyn in with June would be the best situation for her. It was also reported that June was going to take the next step with plans to become Kaitlyn’s legal guardian.

A couple of months after her diagnosis, Anna secretly married her partner, Eldridge Toney, in March. Eldridge reportedly has a very close relationship with both of Anna’s daughters, though he is not the biological father of either.  

TMZ has claimed that he will continue to be in both their lives, and that Kaitlyn and Kylee will continue to see each other. Back in February, about a month after Anna’s diagnosis, TMZ reported that June was putting in the work to help her daughter, and that they were trying to mend their relationship after becoming distant in recent years.

Anna and Mama June Recently Worked On Their Relationship

Family sources said both women were already slowly working on building back their relationship, but that Anna’s news had rapidly brought the pair closer again. Anna had spoken out in 2021 to The Sun about cutting ties with June.

She said that she started to distance herself from her mom when June became involved with Mark McDaniel. But after finding out about Anna’s illness, it was reported that June immediately knew that she had to be there for her daughter.  

Sources stated that June would go with Anna to her appointments and be part of her support system. Anna was also present for June’s wedding to Justin Stroud.

In May, Anna posted in celebration of her daughter Kaitlyn after her elementary school graduation. Along with a series of photos of her and her kids, Anna wrote that she was one proud mama. Anna’s memorial service will reportedly take place this week, with her family agreeing to split her remains amongst her relatives.

TMZ wrote that they had been told that there had been talk about making special jewelry or crystals with Anna’s ashes inside. It was also claimed that the family was considering getting tattoos of Anna’s fingerprint, and planning to get a memorial bench in her honor.

“You look at me like that again, we make another kid… You my heart I’m your rib,”  wrote Ciara in the caption of the video, which shows her dancing and showing off her bump. 

Ciara Worked Throughout Her Pregnancy

According to PEOPLE, Ciara worked and traveled all through her pregnancy. “She shot the ‘How We Roll’ video while pregnant. She was dancing on set all day long for a full day’s shoot,” an insider told PEOPLE. “It’s astonishing how much energy she has when she’s pregnant.”

“She’s one of those mothers who has energy throughout her whole pregnancy. She always calls her life organized chaos — but it’s organized chaos taking it up another notch,” the source added. 

“She loves being a mother so this is what she loves doing. This is what she has always wanted, and Russ too. They’ve always wanted a lot of kids.”

Ciara and Russell Had a Whirlwind Romance

The Denver Broncos quarterback and the R&B singer met at a basketball game in 2015, according to Today. They discussed taking a celibacy vow during media interviews, a choice that made the headlines at the time. 

Ciara and Russell got engaged in March 2016 and tied the knot a few months later, in July 2016. PEOPLE reports that A-listers like Kelly Rowland, Jennifer Hudson and La La Anthony attended the wedding, which took place at a castle in Cheshire, England. 

Ciara announced that she and Russell were expecting their first child in October 2016. She gave birth to Sienna Princess Wilson on April 28, 2017 and her son Win Harrison Wilson followed on July 23, 2020.

In March 2022, the couple collaborated on the release of a children’s book, “Why Not You?” The book focuses on encouraging kids to pursue their hopes and dreams. 

“When Ciara and I first met, one of the first things we talked about is if we could do one thing, what would it be?” Russell told PEOPLE in advance of the book’s release.

“We talked about opening up a school. Well, we did that with the Why Not You Academy, and then we also talked about having a book, and so our goals and dreams are being accomplished as we speak.”

Ciara Opened Up About Her Kids’ Personalities

In the same interview, Ciara talked about the dynamic of their household. “These kids are funny. Our kids are really hilarious, and obviously the older they get, the more they think they know,” she said. 

“Future is just like the kid with the wisdom who’s probably the calmest,” Ciara continues. “But also is like, ‘Hey, I’m the biggest one, so keep that in perspective,’” she added.

Ciara also called Sienna her “mini me” and said she isn’t afraid to “let her inner lioness out.” Now there is one more sibling in the mix. 

Jelly Roll Reveals That’s He’s In Therapy

Jelly Roll is being honest about doing the work to improve his mental health.

Earlier in December, Jelly made a guest appearance on “The Daily Show” podcast.

He and guest host Charlamagne tha God talked openly and seriously about the importance of therapy for his mental health. Charlamagne asked Jelly Roll to talk about how and what he’s done to work on himself.

Jelly Roll said he’s taken the time to love himself. He told Charlamagne that he’s learning to listen to himself. Then he shared, “I go to therapy, I take it very seriously.”

According to Jelly Roll, having faith and believing in a higher power are equally important to his evolution as a man. He described himself as an old-school Southern man.

And Jelly Roll said, “I’m just really rooted in my faith, my belief that more than anything, I search for purpose.”

Jelly Roll doesn’t think that mental health therapy and what he calls “old-school Southern” religion pose any conflicts with each other, either.

Jelly Roll On Faith and Therapy

He told Charlamagne, “I believe in God and therapy and I believe in the universe.” He even confessed that he’s becoming more open-minded as he ages.

He’s always been open and honest about his former life on the poorest streets around Nashville. When he was in his teens and early twenties, Jelly was often in trouble with the law. He spent years in prison after being convicted of dealing substances.

And, at one time, he confessed he couldn’t see a way out of his dark life. But the birth of his daughter while he was in prison sent him in a new direction that changed the course of his life.

Jelly Roll began to work hard to become a musician. Eventually, his hard work and patience paid off. He is now a country superstar.

But success and fame are not the most important things to Jelly Roll. As he’s gotten more successful, he started to focus on giving back to his community.

He performs live for inmates at local prisons and for patients at rehab facilities. He also raised funds to build a recording studio in a special location — inside the juvenile detention center where he served time as a youth.

During the holiday season, Jelly Roll runs a massive toy drive to collect Christmas gifts for kids throughout middle Tennessee.

His music also has a higher purpose. Songs like “Son of a Sinner,” “She,” and “Save Me” include messages of hope for people he can identify with. These people may be poverty-stricken, lonely, or struggling with a dependence on substances. Jelly Roll writes and sings for those who have told him they didn’t feel represented in country music before.

He explained it more, saying “I feel like I’m a voice for the voiceless… and I speak for a group of people that never have been properly spoken for…”

The One Shift that Helped Jelly Roll Become a Better Man

Jelly Roll said he takes his role in country music very seriously. There is one distinction between the man he was and the mean he is becoming. “I quit searching to be happy… and I started searching to be useful,” he shared.

He claims that everything negative in his life began to change when he became a man of service. “I’m finding purpose in life… and it’s really cool,” he added.

When Jelly Roll appeared on The Daily Show, he had something else to celebrate. Charlamagne wished Jelly a happy birthday — and the audience joined in, too. The country star’s actual birthdate is December 4, 1984.

Charlamagne talked about another celebration on the podcast episode. “You celebrated a number one record with ‘Save Me,” he told Jelly. “Man, what a birthday present.”

He then asked, “You released it, what, three years ago on YouTube?” Charlamagne couldn’t believe Jelly Roll’s post on YouTube when he uploaded the song.

At the time, the artist wrote that he wasn’t sure if the song should make it to the album or not: “I know this is a little different for me… but I’m wondering if this should make the album or not.”

That comment shocked Charlamagne, since “Save Me’” has become such a big hit. He asked Jelly Roll, “Why didn’t you believe the song should make the album?”

Why Jelly Roll Almost Didn’t Publish ‘Save Me’

Once again, Jelly Roll spoke honestly about how his mind and thoughts sometimes get in his way. “Oh, man, insecurity, that voice of negativity that gets in all of our ears,” he said.

He also admitted that he fights that voice in his head almost every day, but added that he’s glad he fought enough to put the song up.

“Save Me” also taught Jelly Roll an important lesson. He told Charlamagne that he needed to let go and let the song find people. The song was released on YouTube a few years ago but only recently hit number one on the country charts.

Jelly shared some great insight on why the song took years to find its audience. “You know, music meets us where we are,” he said, adding that he thinks that’s the beauty of music.

As Jelly Roll said on The Daily Show music is there to help and heal. He was just glad to see the song finally touch people since that’s what’s important to him.

He added that he wants to talk about the things people are afraid to talk about.

Cardi B has confirmed that she is now single.

The “WAP” rapper responded to rumors about her relationship with her husband Offset coming to an end on Instagram.

A recording of Cardi’s stream on Instagram Live last weekend made its way onto X, formerly known as Twitter. The 31-year-old made the admission that she had “been single for a while now.”

She went on to say that she didn’t know how to tell the world about her news. But that Sunday, she said that she felt like the events of the day had been a “sign.”

Cardi B Denied Cheating Accusations

Cardi admitted that she doesn’t “think it’s true” that Offset cheated on her with Chrisean Rock. She was responding after Offset took to Twitter earlier on Sunday to deny accusations made by Chrisean’s ex, Blueface.

However, Cardi also said that she didn’t “care to find out.” Earlier in the stream, she mentioned that there had been some clues about her relationship status on her Lives and Stories in recent times.

PEOPLE reported last week that fans had noticed that she and Offset had both unfollowed each other on Instagram. Cardi also shared several messages on her Stories that acknowledged the problems in her personal life.

One message read, “You know when you just out grow relationships.” To this she added that she was “tired of protecting people’s feelings” and said, “I GOTTA PUT MYSELF FIRST.”

In a previous Instagram Live, the famous rapper also talked about dropping “dead weight.” In her message to fans on Sunday, Cardi explained that she wanted to start the new year “fresh” and “open” and that she was “curious for a new life, for a new beginning.”

She ended her announcement saying that she was “excited” for what was to come.

Cardi B and Offset Attended Events Separately

The announcement was made online after both Cardi and Offset had attended the TikTok In the Mix music festival in Mesa, Arizona. They were not photographed together during the event.

Last Friday, Offset had performed at an Art Basel party, but PageSix reported that he brought his mom as his date instead of Cardi. PEOPLE reported that they had reached out to both Cardi and Offset following the news, but representatives for both had not immediately responded.

In the wake of fans noticing that they had unfollowed each other, Offset also responded on his socials. He posted an expletive-laden clip from the movie Scarface on Instagram Stories.

In the clip, Al Pacino says at one point, “Who put this thing together? Me! Who do I trust? Me!”.

They Recently Celebrated Their Fifth Anniversary

Cardi and Offset celebrated their fifth wedding anniversary three months ago. At the time, Cardi shared a video of the display of flowers Offset had covered their home with to mark the occasion.

Alongside the clip, Cardi wrote, “Thank you for the flowers, the empowerment, the protection and for being a great father to our children.” She added that she loved “so many things” about her husband.

In a similar post, Offset wrote that since he met Cardi, he had “grown to become a better man”, and that he could “trust (her) with his life.”

The former couple share two children.

Anna ‘Chickadee’ Cardwell Dead At 29 Following Cancer Battle

The Honey Boo Boo family has just announced that the oldest daughter, Anna Cardwell, has unfortunately passed away at just 29 years old.

After weeks of the family sharing updates about what was going on with her, her journey with cancer has tragically ended.

According to Mama June, Anna passed away on December 9, 2023, at 11:12 pm.

She was at June’s home, and she passed surrounded by her family and other people that she asked to be there.

Mama June asked for prayers and said that they would announce the funeral arrangements after they made them on December 10th. And even more tragically, December 9th is her daughter Kylee’s birthday.

Anna Battled a Rare Form of Adrenal Cancer

This all began in January of 2023 when Anna announced that she had been diagnosed with a rare adrenal cancer and that it was Stage 4.

But at the time, no one shared too many details. Anna was just 29 years old and had two daughters, Kylee and Kaitlyn, who are seven and ten respectively.

For a while, the family was pretty quiet about the circumstances surrounding Anna’s diagnosis. But then a little while after the announcement, Mama June came forward in an interview with Entertainment Tonight to talk about the prognosis.

RELATED: Kellie Pickler Update After Husband’s Tragic Death

She said that the family had all accepted that the disease was terminal, and that Anna wasn’t going to go into remission. She also shared that it was always on her mind, but that they were just trying to take it day by day.

She said that the girls knew that she was sick, but that they didn’t know what that meant exactly or just how sick she was. For months, that was the only update the family shared.

Things Took A Devastating Turn A Few Weeks Ago

People began questioning if there had been a turn in Anna’s health a few weeks ago, just days after the family shared that things were starting to take a devastating turn.

Justin, Mama June’s husband, shared that Anna asked not to be on camera anymore.

And then Anna shared a picture on her Instagram with a pretty sad quote: “If I pass away unexpectedly, remind my kids every time you see them how much I love them, and how I would do anything in this world for them. This is all I want.”

That was in late October, and it was then that people started questioning if things had gone from bad to worse for Anna. Just about two weeks ago, in mid-November, the family shared that they were going on their last family trip with Anna.

Pumpkin wrote about it on the Facebook page for her new business, The Sisters Closet. But Mama June said that Honey Boo Boo, who prefers to go by Alana now, wouldn’t be joining them on the trip because of her school.

Then Mama June shared in a TikTok live that Anna’s cancer had spread, and that she had stopped doing any kind of treatment.

Some fans were speculating that Anna, her husband, and her two girls had moved in with Mama June and Justin. It seemed like the family was in a holding period as things got worse and worse with Anna and she tried to live out her final days in peace.

After a few days of silence, they all started sharing some pretty devastating updates in the last couple of days. First Pumpkin shared a message on her business Facebook page. “Hey everyone, I don’t normally post things like this but send up prayers for our family,” she wrote.

Fans Started Fearing the Worst On Social Media

Immediately, everyone started speculating that something had happened to Anna as the rest of the family went quiet on social media. And that seemed to be exactly the case, because then Mama June came out with some statements of her own.

She shared a TikTok and an Instagram reel saying that things have progressed badly for Anna over the last few weeks and that she’s in her transition. She asked for prayers as they were going through this process and said that they would update everyone as things progressed.

But then in her TikTok, she said that this was the last time she’d be on social media until Anna had passed away, whenever that may be.

In the TikTok, Mama June said that the family would share a joint family statement when Anna passes away. And that’s exactly what they did.

Please take some time to send some positive thoughts and prayers to Alana, Mama June, Pumpkin, and the rest of the family as they go through this truly devastating time.

Kellie Pickler is ready to put the past behind her.  According to reports, the singer has just listed her Nashville, Tennessee mansion for sale.

This was the same house where tragedy struck in February of this year, after her husband lost his life there. Kyle Jacobs ended his own life in the home he shared with Kellie.

RELATED: Bunnie XO’s Father Enters Hospice Care

After months of grieving, Kellie has finally decided to move on, announcing that the four bed, five bath mansion is for sale on November 29.

Kellie’s Husband Tragically Passed Away In the House

The former American Idol singer originally bought the custom built 4,865 square foot property in 2010 for $1.43 million.

The extravagant home comes fitted with a swimming pool, a two story fireplace and a wine cellar. A year after purchasing the house, Kellie married Kyle. They both went on to star in the reality show I Love Kellie Pickler for three seasons.

According to OK! Magazine, her husband was 49 years old when he passed away in what was reported to be one of the bedrooms or offices in the mansion.

After her loss, a source stated to OK! Magazine that Kellie couldn’t bear to stay in the house anymore, and had been staying with friends.

The source went on to say that the singer believed that it doesn’t feel like home anymore. Another insider opened up about Kellie’s reaction to losing Kyle, who was a fellow country singer and songwriter like Kellie.

Kellie Has Been Grieving Privately

According to the toxicology report, Kyle had a history of chronic drinking, but Kellie was not aware of his habits. The source added that Kellie was also unaware that Kyle’s mental health was as bad as it was. But Kyle reportedly kept the worst of his personal struggles from his wife.

For Kellie, Kyle’s passing has remained a confusing mystery. and she has even been said by sources to have blamed herself. Even though her friends tell her it’s not her fault, she confessed that she wished she could have done more for him.

Kellie grieved privately for six months before opening up about her loss. She has only made one statement since his passing. She stated in August that one of the most beautiful lessons her husband taught her was in a moment of crisis, just do nothing, and be still. She went on to say that she had chosen to take his advice.

Kellie then thanked her family, friends and supporters for the countless letters, calls and messages that they had sent her, which she stated helped get her through the darkest time of her life.

Kellie also shared that she has been planning an intimate memorial for her husband, which is what he would have wanted. After her private grieving period ended, Kellie seems to be moving on. According to TMZ, the house she shared with Kyle is on the market for nearly $2.9 million.

Bam Margera Allowed Visitation With Son

According to TMZ, Bam Margera has regained the right to visit his son, Phoenix.

Following years of problems with illegal substances, Bam has also recently celebrated over 100 days sober.

Due to these problems, Bam lost full-time custody and the ability to see his son when he and his wife, Nicole Boyd, broke up.

After reaching 100 days and remaining committed to his recovery, the judge presiding over the case determined Bam was in a good state to spend time with his son again.

RELATED: Ryan Edwards Arrested for Violating Probation

One condition for his visitation is that a professional supervisor needs to be present when Bam is visiting. Bam must also inform Niki when he intends to visit so that they can schedule a supervisor.

The visitation rights have excited Bam since he’s only been able to speak with Phoenix over the phone. The first time he plans on seeing his son is during Christmas. When speaking to TMZ, Bam admitted to spending over $5,000 on Christmas gifts for his son. He’s just waiting for the day when he can deliver them.

Bam Says a Few People Have Helped Him Stay Sober

He also revealed that he hadn’t been able to be in the presence of his son for over 200 days. Reaching 100 days sober hasn’t been easy for Bam, but he gives credit to a few different people. The first is his new girlfriend, Dannii. Besides her emotional support, she’s also kept him on the straight and narrow by having him work out with her. The two use a gym with a special connection to Mark Wahlberg. The owner of the gym, Jarred Taylor, once worked with Mark on the film Lone Survivor.

Bam used to see Mark at award shows and other red carpet events. Hearing that Mark was also staying sober for health reasons, Bam reached out to offer some support. Mark returned a video message congratulating Bam on his milestone and encouraging him to stick with it. The support meant much to Bam to the point where he credits Mark as a driving force behind his recovery. Mark also suggested that the two men meet and catch up in Las Vegas. Bam told TMZ that he’d definitely take up Mark on his offer.

Bam Has Also Started Skating Again

Besides hitting the gym, Bam also credits his recovery to returning to skating. As a famous skateboarder, Bam often hung around Tony Hawk and other athletes. He even got his own show, Viva La Bam, which focused on pranks and dangerous challenges.

However, for a while, his problems conflicted with his ability to skate. He also suffered from bone spurs, which made it painful to skate like he used to. Having healed up, Bam has started to skate again. Taking part in an activity that brings him joy has helped him focus on the sober path before him.

The third force he gives credit to is his clothing company. Bam has a clothing brand that focuses on t-shirts, hoodies, and other apparel. He makes the artwork himself. By focusing on his art for the clothing, Bam has kept himself occupied and focused.

Between the support from fellow celebrities, his girlfriend, and now being able to see his son, Bam has come a long way from his past troubles.

Monica Speaks Out On Breakup With C-Murder

Monica has just spoken out about her relationship with C-Murder. Monica rarely ever talks about him publicly, but now she posted a comment on Instagram that shines some light on where exactly their relationship stands now.

Monica has recently responded to a question about her relationship with the rapper. This happened under an Instagram post from a news account called TheShadeRoom.

The post was about Monica’s appearance at Nelly’s Black and White Ball. She posed on the red carpet along with Nelly and Ashanti. She was also joined by her new boyfriend, Anthony Wilson.

Monica hasn’t exactly announced the start of their relationship, but they appeared to be a couple from another Instagram post that Anthony actually posted on Monica’s birthday back in October.

It was a picture of them posing together and Anthony wrote “Happy Birthday babe” on it. Monica herself reposted the picture and added an affectionate comment of her own. She said that Anthony treats her like every day is her birthday and called him her love.

Monica Said Things Were Over Between Her and C-Murder

All these Instagram posts have made it clear that the two are in a relationship. But since then, people on Instagram have been wondering what happened with Monica’s relationship with her ex C-Murder. The same questions came up when she attended Nelly’s Black and White Ball with Anthony.

This time, Monica actually responded to one of the comments. She didn’t explain what exactly happened with that relationship, but made it clear that things were over between her and C-Murder.

She pointed out that she hasn’t actually mentioned him in a couple of years, and she was hoping that people would just take the hint and follow her lead on it. She then left another comment with more context. She said that in short, she got her heart broken, again. But she also said that that was okay. Apparently, she’s over it now and learned a valuable lesson from it. She added that these days, she can look back and laugh about it.

What Happened With Monica and C-Murder?

Monica and C-Murder were in a relationship starting back in the 90s. Things got complicated after he was arrested and charged with taking someone’s life.

That was in 2002 and the case and trial spanned over several years. Eventually, he was convicted and sentenced to life behind bars.

He started his sentence in 2009 and has been in prison ever since. Throughout the years, he’s been trying to get the case reopened and repeat the trial.

Despite the fact that he was convicted, C-Murder has never actually plead guilty to the crime. He maintains that he’s innocent and his legal representatives are fighting for his freedom.

Monica actually mentioned this in her comment, too. She said she’s glad that C-Murder has the representation he needs to one day be free. Her closing message to everyone who might be invested in this story? “Let’s move forward.”

Ryan Edwards Arrested for Violating Probation

Photo Credit: MTV

The U.S. Sun has obtained exclusive footage of Ryan Edwards appearing in Hamilton County General Sessions Court.

Ryan was supposed to be in court for a check-in hearing on December 5th. Instead, Ryan was arrested for violating his probation.

The judge presiding over Ryan’s case is Judge Starnes. He told Ryan, “My patience is gone…”

The Judge Had Stern Comments for Ryan

In the video, Judge Starnes tells Ryan that “he was told he was going into custody” and added, “you’ve had chance after chance after chance.”

Ryan has allegedly not followed the terms of his probation. He also reportedly had to undergo a test to determine if he’s misused any substance, the results of which will be available this Friday.

Ryan was recently charged with being in possession of a controlled substance. He also pleaded guilty to driving under the influence. His case was dismissed in a plea deal reached with the court on November 6th.

Judge Starnes was also presiding over Ryan’s court case that day. He said that he was “hesitant” to approve the plea deal.

Then, on November 25th, The U.S. Sun obtained another video exclusive of Ryan. The footage shows Ryan under the influence and getting removed from a bar in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

During the check-in hearing on December 5th, a source from The Sun overheard a conversation between Judge Starnes and Coty Wamp, the District Attorney for Hamilton County.

This alleged conversation between the DA and the judge happened just before Ryan was called up to the stand to testify on his behalf. DA Coty allegedly said to Judge Starnes, “I would be interested to see if he could pass a drug screening.”

The District Attorney told Judge Starnes that the last time Ryan was screened for substances was on November 8th.

This screening test allegedly took place at the same time that Ryan was released from Oasis, which is a halfway house in the Hamilton County area.

Ryan Has Struggles with Substance Abuse Issues

Then DA Coty, spoke to the court again and said that “it raises concern he could fail a drug screening.”

DA Coty alleged that Ryan is not currently an outpatient in any treatment facility. The district attorney also said that Ryan is not participating in any support group.

“Can we drug test him in court today, judge?” asked DA Coty. Judge Starnes agreed to the DA’s request. It took an hour to complete the test on Ryan with medical officials. He was then called to the stand. DA Coty proceeded to review other allegations against Ryan in court.

According to the district attorney, Ryan has been late in receiving a Vivitrol shot.

This injection is used to help people with substance issues, and Ryan was allegedly scheduled to receive his Vivitrol shot on November 17th. But, as the district attorney alleged in court, Ryan had not received the shot when it was scheduled.

“We know what happens when you go longer than a month,” said DA Coty.

The district attorney also added that Ryan’s behavior at the bar on November 25th “would correspond” with a person who had not taken their Vivitrol shot: “The state would ask that he be taken into custody if he does not pass.”

Judge Starnes disagreed and ruled that Ryan was going into custody right away. He said in court that Ryan was told to do something that could help him, and he failed to do it. Judge Starnes had Ryan arrested and taken away.
