Sofia Richie Fears that Scott Disick is Dumb Enough to Cheat with Kourtney Kardashian
Even though Sofia Richie, Scott Disick, and Kourtney Kardashian met for what must have been a very awkward dinner last week, Sofia has lingering concerns.
Her much older boyfriend shares three kids and years of memories with Kourt.
According to a report, Sofia can’t shake the feeling that he’s dumb enough to step out on her and is boinking his ex.
According to a report by Heat magazine, Sofia is haunted by the suspicion that Scott is cheating on her with Kourtney.
“Sofia puts on a brave face in public,” an insider claims.
“But,” the source says. “She seems jealous as hell about Scott and Kourtney recently.”
Recently, huh?
It sounds like either the honeymoon phase of her romance with Scott is over … or Sofia fears that it is.
The insider reports: “People are worried that she’s losing her grip on the situation.”
Part of that situation involves Sofia’s feelings and her reactions.
Per the report, Sofia recently saw Scott texting Kourtney “right in front of her” and “she hit the roof.”
Obviously, he shares three kids with her; texting her is normal.
Even so, it can be hard to see the one you loved in contact with their ex.
“[Sofia] heavily suspects that Scott and Kourt have been sleeping together,” the source says.
“And,” the insider continues. “While she’s able to put it out of her mind most of the time, sometimes it just consumes her.”
Apparently Sofia even mustered the resolve to bring it up with Scott.
“Sofia confronted him about the situation,” the source claims.
“But,” the insider continues. “He fobbed her off and just rolled his eyes.”
That sounds rude. Even an absurd accusation still comes from a place of real emotion.
“He really takes her for granted,” the source characterizes.
“And, the insider claims, Scott “gets upset when she tries to stick up for herself.”
Yikes.
Apparently, Scott’s expectations are starting to bother even his lovestruck girlfriend.
“Sofia’s starting to open her eyes more about how unreasonable Scott is,” the source reports.
Fans shouldn’t expect her to cut her losses any time soon, however.
“But ultimately,” the insider laments. “She’s still under his spell.”
One wonders how long that — or their relationship — will last.
First of all, it is pretty clear that this inside source is decidedly in favor of Sofia parting ways with Scott.
For that reason alone, we should take this report with a grain of salt.
(Also, sometimes, reports are just wrong — that’s how life is. If we find one that we’re sure is accurate, we’ll tell you)
But based upon this report, it looks like the truth of the matter falls into one of three categories.
One, maybe Scott really is stepping out on Sofia with Kourtney.
If so, that’s not fair to Sofia or even the Kourtney. He should .. not do that.
Two, maybe Scott is being one-hundred-percent faithful to Sofia and she’s just imagining things and getting worked up over nothing.
If so, that’s more or less what Scott should have expected when he started seriously dating a teen.
(She’s twenty, now, but she’s still very young, and her emotions may still be overpowering and raw)
Then there’s door number three.
What if Sofia suspects that Scott is cheating and she’s right, but she’s totally missed the mark on it being with Kourtney?
Gosh, that sounds like a nightmare for her.

Jenelle Evans: Teen Mom 2 Sucks Without My Big Dumb Husband!
So just in case you missed this, David Eason has been fired from Teen Mom 2.
It happened several months ago after he went on an awful, homophobic Twitter rant, and MTV has refused to budge on it, no matter how much whining Jenelle Evans has done.
And it"s been a whole, whole lot of whining.
It actually took a long time for Jenelle to sign on for the new season of the show, she was complaining so much about so many things.
But at long last, she agreed to keep filming, so that"s what she"s doing now.
However, that doesn"t mean she has to like it …
1. Gross
OK, so just in case you needed a refresher, if you haven’t seen this dynamic duo in a hot minute, this is Jenelle with her husband, David Eason.
2. Basically
David is the worst.
3. Impressive
David is so awful that he managed to get fired from Teen Mom, a series that has featured people high on heroin, physically abusing their significant others, and neglecting their children.
4. Something to Consider
Think about it: how bad do you have to be to get fired from a network who has employed the likes of Jenelle, Amber Portwood, and Ryan Edwards?
5. For Real Though
Like, Farrah Abraham starred in a porno, got a DUI, treated the crew like garbage, fought with producers, fought with her fellow cast members, and they still tried to make things work with her before she left the show.
6. So …
But when David when on his disgusting little homophobic rant, MTV was done.
Chuck Liddell Says Tito Ortiz Is a Big Dumb Idiot
Don’t expect Chuck Liddell to pull a Khabib and jump out of the cage when he fights Tito Ortiz — The Iceman says Tito is simply too dumb to get under his skin with trash talk. “I don’t think he’s smart enough to say something to get me…

Farrah Abraham Trashes New Teen Moms: What Pathetic, Dumb Losers!
Farrah Abraham is out.
Cheyenne Floyd is in.
And a new rivalry has apparently been born.
With Abraham having been fired by MTV several months ago due to her involvement in the amateur porn business, the network went out and hired two replacements:
Floyd and Bristol Palin.
Farrah has hurled a bit of shade at these newbies on occasion over the past few weeks, but she opened up in depth for the first time while speaking to Us Weekly on Friday, September 21.
What did she have to say? Scroll down to find out!
1. Let’s Just Get Right To It!
Tell us how you feel, Farrah. “There’s no intelligence there and I actually feel like the Teen Mom fans deserve to have better people fill my position and they deserve to have better quality,” she told the above-mentioned tabloid in this extended interview, going right after Bristol, but especially Cheyenne, for simply not being very smart.
2. How Do We Know She’s Taking Aim Specifically at Floyd?
Because she continued as follows: “They’re from other MTV shows, they’re like Teen Mom groupies. They’re Teen Mom, like, fans, and that’s fine if you are, but don’t go on my show that you watched, talk s—t about me, act like me, it’s like white Girl Interrupted. It’s not cool, it’s not OK.”
3. Where Have We Seen Floyd Before?
She appeared on MTV’s Are You the One? and The Challenge: Rivals III, which is actually where she met baby daddy Cory Wharton, who will also been on Teen Mom OG Season 8.
4. So, She Had Nothing at All to Say About Bristol?
HA! Does that sound like Abraham at all? She had plenty to say about this shocking new Teen Mom cast member.
5. Here She Goes…
“Last I heard they said they couldn’t been paid enough to be like me, but yet, they are paid, they’re filling my spot,” Farrah told Us Weekly.
6. What? Was That English?
Sort of — but it was a to reference to comments Palin recently made about NOT acting like the ex-Teen Mom OG star during an appearance on Jenny McCarthy’s SiriusXM radio show.

Kailyn Lowry SLAMS Jenelle Evans: You"re Too Dumb to Homeschool Your Kids!
We"ve known for years that Kailyn Lowry and Jenelle Evans aren"t exactly besties.
But lately, their mutual dislike for one another has escalated to the level of an all-out war.
Earlier this week, Lowry blasted Evans on Twitter, calling her co-star out for much of the scandalous behavior that"s made Jenelle so unpopular with fans.
She also revealed that Jenelle had blocked her, which led many to believe that was the end of the feud.
Of course, we should have known better …
Jenelle can"t resist talking trash, and today she fired more shots at Kail — and was swiftly put in her place.
Jump into the gallery below for one of the ugliest Teen Mom exchanges to date:
1. Back At It
Jenelle and Kail have been at one another’s throats lately, and many now believe Evans is badly outmatched in this battle of wits.
2. The Podmother
It seems Jenelle has taken issue with the fact that she’s occasionally a topic of conversation on Kail’s Coffee Convos podcast.
3. Jenelle Goes Off
“Soooo it’s OK to constantly talk about me on their podcast tho? Don’t you have any other topics than me?!”
4. Just Don’t Listen?
When fans pointed out that it’s actually quite easy to avoid a podcast that one doesn’t care to listen to, Jenelle argued that the problem goes beyond Coffee Convos.
5. Talking Smack
“Nah, articles are always written talking s–t about me,” Jenelle tweeted, adding of Kail: “Don’t blame her though… she’s just always trying to remain relevant.”
6. The Coward’s Way Out
It was then that we learned Jenelle was hurling insults at someone she had blocked. It looked like kail would have the final word this tweet, but today, Evans fired back …

Kendall Jenner Makes Dumb Comment, Pisses Off Entire Modeling World
Remember the great Kendall Jenner Pepsi ad debacle of 2017?
Well, this isn’t quite as bad as that, but it’s still evidence that you can spend your entire life in the spotlight and still grow up to be totally ignorant of how to interact with the general public.
As you’re probably aware, Kendall is a model — and quite a successful one, at that.
But from the start, there have been rumors that she’s had trouble earning the respect of her fellow models.
Reports of Kendall being snubbed by her colleagues were rampant after her first Victoria’s Secret show, but it seems she’s managed to win some of the skeptics over in the years since.
Now, however, she may have squandered all that hard-earned goodwill with a single awkward interview.
“Since the beginning we’ve been super selective about what shows I would do,” Kendall recently told Love magazine.
“I was never one of those girls who would do like 30 shows a season or whatever the f-ck those girls do. More power to ‘em. But I had a million jobs, not only catwalks but everything else,” she added.
“The whole combination was very overwhelming and I started to freak out a little bit and needed to take a step back.”
Turns out boasting about how in-demand you are doesn’t exactly endear you to people struggling to make a living in your field, especially when you were born with advantages they can only dream of.
The backlash against Kendall was immediate — and intense.
“This makes me so angry,” Victoria’s Secret model Jac Jagaciak tweeted in response to the interview.
“So disrespectful to literally 99% of people in the industry — yes, they had to work their way up. Please get in touch with the real world!”
Model Vita Sidorkina also chimed in, tweeting:
“Maybe ‘those girls’ need to pay their bills that’s why they are doing 30 shows? No words…”
Kendall quickly got in front of the situation and apologized in a lengthy statement posted on several social media platforms:
“I was misrepresented in a recent interview over the weekend and it’s important to clarify the meaning. It was intended to be entirely complimentary but unfortunately, my words were twisted and taken out of context,” she wrote.
“I want to be clear. The respect I have for my peers is immeasurable!”
Kendall added:
“I get to experience first hand their tireless commitment, their work ethic, the endless days, the lack of sleep, separation from family and friends, stress of traveling, the toll on physical and mental health, yet they still make it all look effortless and beautiful.
“I’m so inspired by so many of these people I have had the good fortune to work alongside! There’s no way I could EVER hate on that. I want everyone to win. SLAY ALWAYS.”
Hmm … we’re willing to give her the benefit of the doubt because much of the meaning of Kendall’s original statement would depend on the tone in which it was expressed.
Of course, we’re not the ones Kendall is apologizing to.
Her fellow models are obviously pissed — and her apology, no matter how well-intentioned, may be too little, too late.

Big Brother Spoilers: Faysal Makes Another Dumb Move!
It wouldn’t be a round of Big Brother spoilers without some major shade being hurled at the alliance that goes by the name of The Hive.
The alliance, consisting of Faysal Shafaat, Haleigh Broucher, and Scottie Salton had the opportunity to change the game a few weeks back when they had more allies.
On Sunday’s episode, we learned that Faysal put his own ally, Scottie on the block next to Brett Robinson. It was a ludicrous move and one that solidified the fact that he does not have a handle in the game.
It’s becoming increasingly obvious that Faysal is playing for Haleigh’s heart as opposed to the $ 500,000 prize.
The moment JC Mounduix conspired with Level Six to get Faysal to put Scottie on the block, it seemed like the plan was never going to work.
Then again, we’ve clearly been giving Faysal more credit than he deserves because his ridiculous decisions continued into the weekend.
Haleigh, Tyler, and Angela were picked to play in the veto competition, which played out on Saturday and featured the return of Zingbot.
Let’s hope the robot managed to make enough quips at The Hive to make them realize they needed to switch things up or they were going to be extinct.
Brett managed to secure the win in the competition, but it came with a major caveat: If he was to come down, he ran the risk of one of his allies going on the block.
But that was okay, Level Six along with Sam and JC could vote however if they wanted this week so long as one of them did not wind up on the block.
Sam immediately got scheming, proving once again that she can play the game when she wants to. We’re still expecting her to reveal at the end that she’s been strategizing all summer long.
In any case, she told Faysal that he should target Haleigh for eviction. This immediately made it seem like Sam was against The Hive alliance.
One would think that it would then be enough to get Sam on the block, and even Haleigh was happy about the prospect of that.
Tyler, as usual, swam under the radar when Faysal should have taken his chance to get the competition beast up and out of the house.
When Monday rolled around, it seemed like Sam was going on the block, but Kaycee was revealed to be the replacement nominee after Brett took himself off the block.
The Hive could have stayed competitive if Fessy just put two Level Sixers up from the get-go. Instead, they’re losing another one of their own.
Scottie is definitely going home on Thursday. Haleigh will likely be the only vote to keep him in the house, and next week will likely find both Haleigh and Faysal on the block.
At this point, Level Six should all be declared winners. They’re killing it!
Big Brother continues Wednesday on CBS!

Tim Allen Defends Roseanne Barr, Asks Very Dumb Question About Comedian"s Firing
Tim Allen just doesn’t understand.
Speaking Thursday at the Television Critics Association’s press tour, the veteran actor basically asked those in attendance was simple question:
Can’t someone just be overtly racist in public without suffering consequences in this country?!?
Allen spoke on the topic of Roseanne Barr’s firing by ABC with journalists at the aforementioned gathering, with his remarks generating both headlines and many raised eyebrows.
(Barr, of course, was let go by the network and had her revived sitcom canceled after she referred to an African-American political advisor as an “ape.”)
“I go away back with Rosie and that’s not the Rosie I know,” Allen said, expounding about his friend and her situation as follows:
“She was the most diverse and tolerant woman I’ve ever known for a long time. Whatever got in her head, isn’t the Roseanne I know.”
Allen then expressed sympathy and shock for the ways of the world, especially when it comes to supposedly funny people who dare to utter controversial statements.
“It’s a very icy time. I’m a veteran comedian for 38 years and I’ve never seen it, like Lenny Bruce said at the Purple Onion, ‘We’ve gone backwards.’ There are things you can’t say. There are things you shouldn’t say.
“Who makes up these rules? And as a stand-up comic, it’s a dangerous position to be in because I like pushing buttons. It’s unfortunate.”
Who makes up these rules?
We can answer that ridiculous inquiry, Tim.
In Roseanne’s case, ABC executies made up the so-called “rules.”
Roseanne was an employee who was fired by her employer for actions the latter deemed inappropriate and/or actions it felt no longer made her a worthwhile employee.
It’s that simple.
People get fired from their jobs everday. Roseanne is just one of those people.
Allen is one of the few outspoken Republicans in Hollywood.
In May of 2017, he said he was “stunned” by the cancelation of the sitcom on which he starred, Last Man Standing, hinting strongly that he thinks it was yanked off the air due to his Conservative views.
(It has ran for six seasons at the time and ratings had been falling for years.)
Allen also once compared life in Hollywood for a Republican to life in Nazi Germany for Jewish people.
He’s back in the news now because FOX has actually brought back Last Man Standing, hoping it finds a similarly impressive audience to the one Roseanne enjoyed before the network axed that show’s comeback.
As for Barr?
She has oscillated between being regretful for her actions and blaming others for taking them out of context.
She recently swore to Sean Hannity that she is not racist and she has received support from non-Tim Allen celebrities as well.
“Roseanne Barr is my sister in comedy and she is my universal sister and what I won’t do… is throw her away for making a mistake,” Mo’Nique told KTLA last Friday, July 27, adding at the time:
“We’ve all said and done things, baby, that we wish we could take back… but when you’re in the public eye, you can’t.
Said Barr to Fox News the day before that:
“I’ve apologized a lot. It’s been two months. I’ve apologized and explained and asked for forgiveness.”
Oh, well, if it’s been two months… nevermind then!
All automatically gets forgiven after 60 days, right?
WATCH THE ROSEANNE BARR VIDEO ABOVE AND DECIDE:
IS SHE WORTHY OF FORGIVENESS?

Khloe Kardashian: It"s OK, Tristan Thompson is Too Dumb to Be Faithful!
At this point, it feels pretty safe to say that Khloe Kardashian has forgiven Tristan Thompson for cheating on her multiple times throughout her pregnancy.
Or maybe she hasn’t forgiven him, but she’s definitely not leaving him.
Just last month, a Twitter user told her that she was “disappointed” in her for staying with him, and Khloe told her off.
“You have no knowledge of what goes on in our household or the enormous rebuilding this takes to even coexist,” she wrote.
“I’m proud of my strength.”
We’re glad she feels proud, but a new report from People details a bit of what is going on in their household, and some information about the kind of work they’re putting into their relationship.
And it’s … well … it’s pretty ridiculous, honestly.
A source close to Khloe claims that “as a guy,” Tristan is “naturally not as understanding as he can be in this particular situation.”
“It’s so much easier for him to, not completely, but brush things under the rug. She can’t do that.”
“Khloe carried his child,” the source continues, “and is much more in the limelight than he is, and she doesn’t think he understands the consequences of his decisions.”
“She thinks the cheating scandal is a way bigger deal than he does and he doesn’t fully understand the repercussions of his actions affecting not only him and Khloe but the entire family as a whole.”
Poor, simple Tristan, huh?
We know he’s just “a guy” and therefore completely incapable of understanding how emotions work, but still, you think he could have picked up a couple of things from different relationships over the years.
Or movies, TV shows, anything.
Enough to figure out that cheating on your pregnant girlfriend multiple times is bad.
But that concept isn’t the only one that he’s had trouble grasping.
This insider says that Khloe’s family’s reaction to the cheating scandal, how strongly they all reacted to the news, has “been a tough learning lesson for him.”
Yeah, how wild is it that her family got mad that he stepped out on her so publicly during such a vulnerable time?
Who could have foreseen such a turn of events?!
The source adds that “He also doesn’t fully ‘get’ that she’s been through this before [with Lamar Odom], except that this time there’s a child involved.”
That’s fair — after all, it wasn’t like anyone ever really talked about what happened with Lamar, you know?
“When he got with Khloe,” the story continues, “he tried to adapt to the best of his ability, but he struggled with being part of such a high-profile family and crossed lines he shouldn’t have.”
“He wasn’t expecting such major backlash from the public and it’s been a lot for him to handle.”
It’s definitely clear who the victim in all of this is, that’s for sure!
So let’s recap: Tristan is just a guy, and that means it’s hard for him to understand that cheating is bad, that cheating when your girlfriend is pregnant is extra bad, and that doing all of this when your girlfriend is super famous is even worse.
He also has somehow missed the entire saga of Khlomar and why an unfaithful partner might be more difficult for her because of that.
Additionally, all of this negative attention has really been hard for him, so if everyone could cut him some slack, that would be great.
It seems like that’s what the Kardashians are doing!
“The whole family is there to support both him and Khloe through everything,” the insider states, “but they also need his commitment in order for the relationship to succeed.”
“All of them are really hoping for a positive outcome for Khloe’s sake.”
We’re hoping everything works out too, but we have to remember that Tristan will almost certainly mess up again.
Not because he’s a bad person, not because he has questionable morals or poor self control.
But because he has a penis.
And he can’t help that, guys.

Roseanne Barr: I"m Not Racist, Just Super Dumb!
Roseanne is … she’s been … the thing about her is …
It’s just a weird, awful situation, basically.
Roseanne’s recent troubles began last month, when she made a very, very questionable statement on Twitter that was bad enough for ABC to cancel the wildly successful reboot of her sitcom.
What did she say that was so bad?
You surely know by now, but this woman thought it would be appropriate to jump in a thread about Valerie Jarrett, a black woman who worked as one of Obama’s advisors, and write “muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby = vj.”
It was terrible, she 100% should have known better, but still, that’s what she wrote.
People were understandably upset by her tweet, and like we said, the backlash was enough to get the reboot of Roseanne cancelled.
She apologized for her remark shortly after making it, and she also tried to make a whole, whole lot of excuses for it, explaining that “It was 2 in the morning and I was ambien tweeting.”
She’s also said that she’d been criticized so harshly because she’s Jewish, and that she planned on “making restitution for the pain that I have caused.”
Basically, she’s been saying a whole lot of things, and most of them have been very bad.
So why would what she’s saying now be any different?
Roseanne has this friend, Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, and he’s got a brand new podcast. So on the very first episode, she made an appearance, and you can probably guess what they talked about.
To kick things off, she said “Of course I’m not a racist, I’m an idiot, and I might have done something that comes across as bigoted and ignorant and I know that that’s how it came across.”
“I ask for forgiveness because I do love all people, I really do.”
She even began sobbing, saying “I have black children in my family. I never would have wittingly called any black person and say they are a monkey.”
“I just wouldn’t do that, and I didn’t do that and people think that I did that, it just kills me.”
And although she was “impaired” when she made the tweet, “I don’t excuse it.”
“I horribly regret it, are you kidding me?” she asked. “I’ve lost everything, and I regretted it before I lost everything, and I said to God, I am willing to accept whatever consequences this brings, because I know I’d done wrong.”
“I’m willing to accept what the consequences are. And I do and I have.”
Then, if you can even believe it, she tries to make another excuse for what she tweeted about Valerie Jarrett with “I don’t agree with her politics and I thought she was white.”
She seriously said “I did not know she was a black woman.”
“When ABC called me and said, ‘What is the reason for your egregious racism?’ I said, ‘Oh my God, it is a form of racism. I guess that I didn’t know she was black and I’ll cop to it."”
For what it’s worth, which isn’t much, she admitted “I know I should’ve known better because I know it’s a form of racism to assume that every person who looks white is indeed white.”
“People make that mistake about me all the time. They think I’m not Jewish.”
But after that, she said “I’ve always worked with black women and worked on my racism and their anti-Semitism, we’ve all done … I’ve done that since the 60s and you know, it still creeps in.”
So which is it? She didn’t know Valerie Jarrett was black or racism crept in?
Either way, she apologized again with “I am so sorry and humiliated and, you know, angry at myself but in my heart, I just made a stupid error and I told that to ABC, and they didn’t accept it or want to hear it.”
“I said, ‘But that’s the truth. I thought she was white.”
Will anyone actually believe this? Maybe, but probably not.
After all, this wasn’t the first time she’s ever been awful, and it certainly won’t be the last.
But to defend herself yet again, she explained “Sometimes you just say the wrong words. And I should have known better. I should’ve not done it.”
“I wish the hell I wouldn’t have done it and I should have been better and I wasn’t and I caused a lot of pain and I know that and that’s the worst feeling in the world — I caused pain for my family, I caused pain for my mother, I caused pain for the 200 actors that I love, and crew and writers.”
“I feel so bad that they gave me another chance and I blew it,” she lamented.
Well, that last part isn’t entirely true — she did blow it, but only for herself.
ABC confirmed just a few days ago that they’d be moving forward with the show, without Roseanne’s character and with a new title of The Conners.
So all those actors and the crew and the writers will still have their jobs, isn’t that neat?
It’s funny how successful you can be if you’re not a terrible person who says racist garbage!

Matt Roloff Slams Amy Roloff as "Insecure," Sort of Dumb
They say you should never mix business with pleasure.
But Matt Roloff and Amy Roloff have been attempting to do just this for about two years now.
The reality stars got divorced in 2016, yet both still live on the same property and both still run Roloff Farms together.
This arrangement has worked reasonably well so far, although we doubt either Matt or Amy would label is as pleasureful.
On Tuesday night’s episode of Little People, Big World, viewers were taken behind the scenes of this unusual business relationship, while also witnessing even more tension between the exes.
(Matt and Amy have clashed all season; the former even admitted that he may move far away from her this year.)
The tension stemmed from this installment being filmed during pumpkin season on the farm, which is when the business rakes in a significant share of its annual revenue.
“Even though Matt and I are divorced, we are still business partners,” Amy explained early on, adding:
“And our pumpkin store during pumpkin season has a lot of items in it. We sell pumpkin butter, pumpkin salsa; but you know obviously with the divorce, we definitely have our own individual finances.”
Why was this an issue last night?
Because Amy baked her own pumpkin bread and wanted to sell it in the store.
This meant she had to talk to only her ex-husband about it, but also his girlfriend, Caryn Chandler, because she serves as the farm’s manager.
“Caryn thought to put [your bread] right front in center, [so] it’s the first thing you see when you walk in the store,” Matt told Amy, seemingly offering her a great deal to which she initially agreed.
HOWEVER, Matt then brought up his children’s book and explained the caveat:
“With my book I’m going to pay the farm fee, you guys can figure out whether you want to do some percentage thing or some flat fee per transaction.”
“Why?” asked Amy.
“I need to compensate the farm,” Matt replied.
The idea behind this fee is that the store is meant to make money for the farm; for the business as a whole.
If someone wants to sell his or her own product there, he or she must give a percentage of the profits to the farm. Or just pay the farm a flat fee for stocking his or her item(s).
Amy didn’t seem to totally grasp this notion.
Or perhaps, as a co-owners, figured she would be exempt from such a policy.
“Having a conversation with Matt, he will bring up something that totally catches me off guard,” she told the cameras. “So I always feel less confident and definitely at a disadvantage.”
Matt tried to explain that it’s a bad “business model” to sell anything at the store for which the farm doesn’t get a cut…
… before turning sort of mean and personal.
“Amy doesn’t have a good sense of what it takes to run the farm. Amy can be very, very insecure. I try to be as patient and easy as possible,” he told the camera.
Previously, Matt has taken issue with how producers edited series footage to make it appear as if he and his relatives didn’t get along.
But that complaint falls a little flat when he comes right out and says this sort of thing about Amy, don’t you think?
“When it comes to Amy and I, it’s just one day at a time. One day it feels like it’s working and another day it feels like it’s not working.” Matt added.
And this is perfectly understandable.
No divorced couple could work so closely together without a few ups and downs.
“There is a lot riding on pumpkin season,” Amy later admitted.
“Because what we make during pumpkin season sustains the farm all year long… working with Caryn or Matt, I have to put aside what personal feelings I may have because pumpkin season is a family business and I want it to continue to be around for the kids and the grandkids.
“So I definitely want things to go well.”

Meghan Markle"s Dumb Dad Wishes He"d Gone to the Royal Wedding
If you’ve been anywhere near an internet-enabled device in the past 72 hours, then you’re no doubt aware that Prince Harry married Meghan Markle in a unique ceremony at Windsor Castle in London.
Harry and Meghan’s nuptials were different from previous royal weddings in a number of important ways.
Most were cool and interesting, others … well, not so much.
For example, the ceremony incorporated elements of African-American culture in order to honor Meghan’s ethnicity and nationality.
That was inarguably awesome.
In the other column, you’ll find the almost unbelievably messy drama surrounding Meghan’s family.
While it certainly helped set this wedding apart from its predecessors, we’re guessing Harry and Meghan would have been happy to skip over the soap opera BS delivered by her father and her half-siblings.
Meghan’s half-brother and half-sister talked a bunch of trash, but that came as no surprise, as those two revealed themselves to be bestselling items at the jerk store several months ago.
Much more unexpected was the last-minute turmoil involving Meghan’s father.
Thomas Markle skipped the royal wedding, bowing out just days before the ceremony for reasons that still aren’t totally clear.
At first, there were reports that Meghan’s dad had suffered a heart attack.
Now, however, it doesn’t that that was the case.
The more likely explanation seems to be that Thomas was humiliated by the revelation that he’d agreed to be photographed by paparazzi in exchange for a fee.
That’s not to say Thomas is without health issues, but it seems that his reasons for skipping the wedding were more varied and complex than initially reported.
Weirdly, Thomas was in regular communication with TMZ throughout the build-up to the wedding, and he spoke to the site on Saturday after Meghan and Harry exchanged vows.
“My baby looks beautiful and she looks very happy,” he said.
“I wish I were there and I wish them all my love and all happiness.”
Thomas added that watching the wedding on television was both “emotional and joyful.”
We may never know exactly what prompted Thomas to stay home instead of participating in this once-in-a-lifetime event, but remarkably, it seems he and Meghan have remained on good terms.
But perhaps we shouldn’t be surprised by that – something tells us Meghan has lots of experience forgiving her father.
