Ryan Edwards: Refusing Rehab, "In Denial" About Heroin Addiction


Earlier this week, Ryan Edwards was released from jail after being arrested for yet another probation violation.


Ever since Edwards was arrested for heroin possession last year, he"s been stuck in a seemingly endless downward spiral of legal troubles and other misfortunes.


But remarkably, Ryan apparently doesn"t see things that way.


In fact, sources close to the situation say the troubled Teen Mom OG star is totally in denial about his addiction.


Jump into the gallery below to see what Edwards has to say about his growing problem.


 


 




1. Free At Last

Edwards was released from jail this week after being arrested for the third time in less than two years.



2. A Lucky Break

6. No Plans

“There are no plans for him to go to rehab,” a source tells Us Weekly. Not surprisingly, those closest to Edwards are deeply concerned about his stubbornness…

Joe Giudice: In Denial About Being Deported?!

As we reported earlier this week, there’s a very good chance that Real Housewives of New Jersey star Joe Giudice will be deported after he’s released from prison.


In fact, it’s looking more and more like a foregone conclusion.



Pretty much everyone has accepted the fact that Juicy Joe will likely be shipped back to Italy as soon as he’s finished serving his four-year prison sentence.


Everyone, that is, except for Joe himself.


Yes, as you probably already know, Giudice is currently behind bars on felony fraud and tax evasion charges.


Since he never bothered to become a US citizen after emigrating here, Joe is likely to be booted back to the Boot after he’s through during his time


Unlike the imaginary brown boogeymen certain politicians want you to live in fear of, Joe actually moved to the US and promptly went about the business of committing felonies.



Governments generally aren’t fond of that sort of behavior, which is why Joe will likely be handed a one-way ticket to Florence the day he leaves prison. 


According to Radar Online, Joe is already “in deportation proceedings,” despite that fact that he’s still in custody.


“ICE has lodged a detainer, and he is in removal proceedings,” a source tells the site.


Apparently, this will all come as quite a shock to Joe, who’s convinced he’ll be heading back to Jersey after his release:


“Joe is convinced that he is not getting deported,” says a different insider.


“He just says that it isn’t going to happen.”



The source adds:


“Either he is in denial or he knows something that no one else does, but he does not believe it will happen.”


Yeah, we’re gonna go with the former option on that one.


Hilariously, it seems ICE is so eager to send Joe back to the land of popes and pasta that they might not even wait until he completes his sentence.


“If he is ordered deported while in custody, he will be removed from the U.S.,” says the insider.


Of course, the big question now is — if Joe gets deported, will Teresa Giudice go with him?



Teresa has been pretty non-committal in her responses to that particular query, so the safe bet is that she’ll be staying put in the U.S. of A.


“I mean, Italy’s a beautiful place to live,” she said in a recent interview.


“I wouldn’t mind, you know, I’m just saying. Listen, whatever God has planned for me, that’s what’s going to happen. I will embrace it the best I can.”


Yeah, those aren’t the words of a woman who’s eager to uproot her life and move across an ocean.


Teresa has four young daughters; she makes a lucrative living in the US that she can’t make anywhere else; and she needs the money more than ever thanks to her multi-million dollar debt to the government.


In other words, Joe might want to get ready to arrivederci to his long-suffering wife.

Khloe Kardashian: I"m Not in Denial About Tristan Thompson Cheating, Okay?!

It’s been a couple of weeks since Tristan Thompson was exposed cheating on Khloe Kardashian, and yet … there’s been no confirmed breakup.


Some worry that Khloe doesn’t have a klue.


But a new report says that she’s not oblivious or in denial … she just has a lot of things to consider. Hmmm …



A source has come forward to tell Entertainment Tonight that Khloe is not delusional and she’s heard most of the things that the rest of us have about Tristan and his adventurous penis.


“She’s not in a bubble of denial.”


Denial happens to a lot of people when bad news breaks. And some celebrities are notorious for sometimes living in a “bubble” that excludes information that the rest of the world can see on a daily basis.


Apparently, that’s not the case with Khloe.


“She knows what’s going on and is still trying to process it.”


There’s a lot to process, of course. What has some folks puzzled is that Khloe hasn’t cut Tristan loose, publicly and permanently, just yet.


“But so far, she’s managed to move past it and look forward.”



Tristan Thompson has reportedly been cheating on Khloe through her pregnancy with at least five different women.


He apparently didn’t feel a need to wear a condom while his penis was on its secret walkabout.


And one of these hookups is said to have taken place the night before Khloe’s baby shower. Gross.


Khloe and those in her inner circle of friends have internet access, just like the rest of us.


“Her friends and family are learning all these new details.”


Also like the rest of us, they’re apparently working to parse what is fact and what is an opportunist selling an alleged story for a quick buck.


“And it’s hard to know what’s just someone trying to cash in and what is true.”


When you don’t know what’s true and what’s not, because these things are difficult to verify, you don’t know what to pass on to the person who may need to hear it.


“It’s tough to know what, if anything, to tell Khloe.”



Do you ever have a friend who just refuses to hear any criticisms of her man?


To no one’s real surprise, it sounds like Khloe is of that temperament.


“If a friend tells Khloe that they heard about another cheating story, they risk being cut off by her.”


That sounds drastic, but Khloe is in an emotional place right now.


So apparently she may just not want to hear it. Even if she needs to.


We can imagine that a lot of people who love Khloe are walking on eggshells.


“She’s stuck by her man in the past, so it doesn’t even seem worth it to fill her in on all the details.”



The source dishes on Khloe’s surprising plans.


“Khloe is very settled in Cleveland right now and is planning on staying another few weeks to a month at least.”


Despite Khloe’s family’s (and common sense’s) urges for her to get the hell out of Cleveland and back to her family, it sounds like Khloe’s not leaving any time soon.


Maybe that’s doctor’s orders, but that sounds like she’s reluctant to break off her relationship with Tristan.


“Of course, that could change, especially since every day there seems to be more stories [coming] out about Tristan.”


Another source has recently dished about Khloe’s convicted feelings, saying:


“Khloe loves him deeply. He is the father of her child, but she feels betrayed and blindsided.”


At the risk of sounding blunt, being the father of her child at this point just means that the guy has viable sperm.


Haven’t his actions made it very clear that he’s passing out his DNA like a party favor?


“Khloe’s main focus is being a mother and figuring out what is best for True.”



If it’s true that Tristan is still hooking up with one of his side pieces, even as he is allegedly begging for Khloe’s forgiveness, that sounds like something that Khloe needs to know.


Even if it’s not fun to hear it. But we can understand why the people who love her aren’t willing to put their friendship on the line to warn her.


It’s hard to see how she could decide that staying with Tristan is the right thing. All things considered, some fear that Tristan would see it as unspoken permission to continue to cheat.


Even if he manages to keep his metaphorical ball (penis) in his own court, does she really want to stay with the man who humiliated her on the week when her child was born?


Not only does that seem like a toxic relationship for Khloe, but that seems like a less than ideal environment for True.

Khloe Kardashian: In Denial About Tristan Thompson Cheating?!

Tristan Thompson was caught cheating on Khloe Kardashian, and it doesn’t look like these were isolated incidents. There are other reports — and other videos.


But a source says that Khloe and Tristan are ignoring this huge story and just focusing on waiting for Khloe to give birth.


Is Khloe totally in denial?



A source spoke to Entertainment Tonight, and they have some intriguing claims about Tristan Thompson’s alleged cheating.


“The video going around shows Tristan in a loud club briefly talking to a girl, nothing more.”


That’s quite the claim.


“Tristan was there for roughly an hour and left with his teammates.”


All evidence to the contrary, we suppose.


The source goes on to report that Khloe and Tristan are totally focused on her pregnancy.


“Khloe and Tristan are happy and focusing on the birth of their daughter.”



That’s … so interesting to hear, on multiple levels.


See, if there were nothing to this story but one video that shows a woman put her face into Tristan Thompson’s hoodie, maybe — maybe — it could be explained away.


There could, conceivably, be a totally innocuous explanation for why a woman would bring her face so close to a man’s face without them kissing. Did he need her smell his breath? Probably not, but it’s … possible.


But even if the alleged makeout session at the PH-D bar could be explained away, would that really be enough to allow Khloe to bury her head in the sand?


Because after that story broke, TMZ came out with a video, dating back to October, of Tristan appearing to be fooling around with two women.


And then The Shade Room showed Tristan apparently with that same woman, no longer at the bar.



Some might try to argue that because Tristan is a young athlete, Khloe’s pregnancy status somehow forced him to seek relief.


As countless fathers can attest, that is absurd.


(We hope that we don’t have to explain to anyone that there are plenty of ways to relief sexual frustration that don’t involve cheating on your very pregnant baby mama)


What’s more is that Tristan’s alleged hookah lounge hookup from October was also during Khloe’s pregnancy, but just a few months in.


Recently, Khloe discussed pregnancy sex and mentioned that the two of them continued to be intimate with one another well into her pregnancy.


So even if “but she’s pregnant” were a viable excuse now, that wouldn’t fly for October.



So … is Khloe in denial?


You’d think that, after everything that she went through with Lamar Odom, she would know how to grapple with the realities of dating an athlete whose penis prefers a nomadic lifestyle.


If Khloe decides to dump Tristan or stay with him, that’s her business.


But we would hope that she’s ready to face reality and understand Tristan for who he is.


Perhaps, if she really isn’t willing to accept these multiple reports of him being an alleged serial cheater, her sisters will be able to talk some sense into her.



If Khloe is trying to bury her head in the sand, then the fact that everyone is talking about this story can’t help.


Tristan’s other baby mama expressed her sympathies, but if Khloe is in denial, she probably won’t appreciate that, either.


When someone is prepared to reject photos and videos, anyone trying to express sympathy is going to sound like an accuser.


But perhaps that report about Khloe’s current focus and Tristan’s alleged innocence is just from a source who’s trying to cover for Tristan and smooth things over.


If so, it will be up to Khloe’s family, who might be able to view evidence more objectively, to get through to her.

Mackenzie Standifer: In Denial About Ryan Edwards" Drug Use?

Last week, Ryan Edwards was arrested in Tennessee for allegedly violating the terms of his probation.


There are conflicting stories regarding the nature of Edwards’ violation, but in the days that followed his arrest, several disturbing revelations about the life of the troubled Teen Mom OG star came to light.



First, we learned that Edwards has been using the dating app Tinder to try and cheat on his pregnant wife, Mackenzie Standifer.


Shortly thereafter, it was revealed that Edwards threatened to kill Taylor McKinney, the husband of his child’s mother, Maci Bookout.


It’s unclear if this threat constituted the probation violation that got Edwards arrested, or if the incident was only brought to authorities’ attention when McKinney and Bookout filed for orders of protection against Ryan after the fact.


Whatever the case, the events of the past week have left TMOG fans deeply concerned about Edwards’ welfare.


And for obvious reasons, many now believe the 30-year-old recovering addict is back on drugs.



Ryan checked into rehab last year shortly after getting married to Mackenzie.


Edwards was so high on his wedding day that he lost consciousness while driving to the church, but those who know him best say that he’s been taking his sobriety very seriously ever since.


Unfortunately, those who know him best may have been taken in by a disingenuous practicing addict.


“Mackenzie is in complete abject denial about Ryan’s drug addiction and issues surrounding how very, very serious it truly is,” a source close to the situation tells Us Weekly


“Mackenzie only wants to focus on having his baby and seems to be hoping that this will help him to be inspired to live a clean and sober life.”


Unfortunately, TMOG viewers know that Edwards is not completely sober, as he was spotted drinking before his second wedding to Standifer, which was scheduled in order to make up for the disastrous first ceremony.



However, the insider claims that Mackenzie fully believes Edwards’ explanation that he’s able to drink because he’s beaten his more serious addictions completely.


“Ryan denies the seriousness of the drug addiction, like any addict will do, and Mackenzie chooses to believe him,” says the source.


We may soon find out much more about the situation when the two-part Teen Mom OG reunion special begins next week:


“There was real concern for Ryan’s sobriety at the reunion and he was urged to get further treatment by close to the show off-camera, but refused,” the source explains to Us. 


‘There is a genuine and real fear that Ryan could die because of his drug addiction.”


Watch Teen Mom OG online to get caught up in time for what’s sure to be a doozy of a reunion.

Kylie Jenner Poses in Underwear, Remains in Baby Bump Denial


Give Kylie Jenner credit, folks.


The 20-year old has managed to pose for a new underwear campaign with her sisters…


… while STILL managing to hide her baby bump.


Jenner has been noticeably absent from the public eye for several weeks now, presumably ever since her pregnant stomach became impossible to keep on the Down Low.


The new Calvin Klein campaign in which she stars with all four of her sisters is the first time we"ve really seen fresh photos of Kylie in months.


And it"s pretty hilarious just how far Jenner and her loved ones are going to keep her midsection hidden from the camera, even while she wears very few layers of clothing all around.


Scroll down and then all around for a look through these Calvin Klein images, while also being reminded of other ways Kylie has hidden her bump from fans in this final trimester…




1. In Their Calvins


In their calvins

Kylie, Khloe and Kim are posing here in their underwear, while all working to shield a certain baby bump that is likely very large on one of them.



2. We Love Our Calvins!


We love our calvins

Hmmm… we wonder why Kylie is holding a blanket in front of her belly here. Any ideas?



3. So… Many… Sisters


So many sisters

What? Huh? No baby bump here, Kylie Jenner is basically saying as she poses with her sisters.



4. White Wonders

The Kardashiain sisters look very sexy in this snapshot. And, hey, look at that: Khloe’s hand is helping to cover Kylie’s stomach!

T.J. Miller Accused of Sexual Assault; Actor Issues Firm Denial

Even if you don’t recognize the name T.J. Miller, you’re almost certainly familiar with the comic and actor’s work.


Star of the popular HBO sitcom Silicon Valley, Miller’s distinctive voice can be heard often, in everything from commercials to cartoons.


And now, his name has been added to the ever-growing list of powerful men in Hollywood who have been accused of sexual assault.



The Daily Beast has published an account by a woman whose name was not given due to fears of reprisal.


She says she dated Miller when they were both students at George Washington University in Washington.


The relationship reportedly ended following a violent sexual encounter that left the woman traumatized.


“He just tried a lot of things without asking me, and at no point asked me if I was all right,” she tells the outlet.


“He choke[d] me, and I kept staring at his face hoping he would see that I was afraid and [that he] would stop… I couldn’t say anything.”



The woman, who was referred to only as “Sarah” in the piece, says Miller punched her in the face during the encounter, bloodying her lip and breaking a tooth.


Others who attended GWU with Sarah and Miller have come forward to corroborate her account, revealing that the allegations against the actor were common knowledge on campus.


“I attended George Washington University for undergraduate studies from 2000 until December 2003… I had a romantic relationship with [this] woman, who spoke with me about T.J. Miller sexually assaulting her,” attorney Matt Lord wrote in a statement issued to The Daily Beast.


“At the time I believed the statements she made regarding the assault by Mr. Miller, and I continue to believe the statements she made are true.”



Lord added:


“She was engaged in student conduct proceedings regarding the sexual assault, and I remember the emotional toll that the assault and the subsequent conduct hearings placed on her.”


Anonymous sources who have worked with Miller claim the actor has a history of dismissing the allegations by making light of them.


Many believe that it’s for this reason that prominent female comics and actresses have declined to work with Miller.


T.J. and wife Kate Miller issued a statement today in which they denied the allegations and attempted to discredit the accuser.


This is the couple’s statement (which was posted alongside the photo below on Kate’s Instagram page) in its entirety:



“We met this woman over a decade ago while studying together in college, she attempted to break us up back then by plotting for over a year before making contradictory claims and accusations.


“She attempted to discredit both of our voices and use us against one another by trying to portray Kate to be a continuous abuse victim of T.J. (further efforts to hurt the two of us).


“She was asked to leave our university comedy group because of worrisome and disturbing behavior, which angered her immensely, she then became fixated on our relationship, and began telling people around campus “I’m going to destroy them” & “I’m going to ruin him.


“We are confident that a full consideration of accounts from and since that time will shed light and clarity on the true nature of not only this person’s character, but also on the real facts of the matter. (See the e-mails referenced).


“We stand together in stating this is nothing more than an unfortunate resurgence of her lies designed to wreak havoc on two happily married people in the public eye.”


We’ll have further updates on this developing story as more information becomes available.

Tyga: In Denial About Kylie Jenner Pregnancy?

As you’ve no doubt heard by now, Kylie Jenner is pregnant with her first child.


The news stunned fans of the 20-year-old reality star, but no one was more shocked than Kylie’s inner circle.




Sources say Kylie’s mother and sisters have been supportive, while her father believes that Kylie is too young to have a child.


We suppose a mixed reaction from her immediate family is natural in the face of such surprising news.


The response from Kylie’s most recent ex, however, is considerably less expected.


When the news of Kylie’s pregnancy first went public, Tyga claimed the baby was his in an Instagram post that’s since been deleted.


It seems the rapper was either joking or received some misleading information about when Kylie got knocked up.


These days, he’s reportedly accepted that Kylie is not carrying his child.



But that doesn’t mean he’s okay with the idea of her being pregnant with someone else’s kid.


“It’s still not real to him that Kylie is pregnant,” a source close to the situation tells Hollywood Life.


“It will actually become a reality when he sees pictures of her with her child and he is not looking forward to that day.”


The insider adds that until T-Raww sees proof in the form of an infant that looks nothing like him, he won’t accept the fact that Kylie is a mom.


“That is the time that it will be real and he expects to be upset,” says the source.


“It is a weird set of emotions right now for Tyga and when the birth happens, that is when things are going to hit its peak and the most he’ll be upset. It’s basically what could have been when he thinks of her now.”



Kylie began dating Travis Scott shortly after her latest breakup with Tyga.


(The former couple split up several times during their nearly three-year relationship.)


Those who know Tyga best say that despite her youth, he envisioned a future with Kylie.


Obviously, the pregnancy is a pretty sure sign that she’s moved on.


But it seems that Tyga is not quite ready to accept the reality of the situation.

Lindsay Lohan: In Denial As Friends Urge Her to Leave Abusive Fiance?

Earlier today, video of a physical altercation between Lindsay Lohan and her fiance, Egor Tarabasov, was leaked online, drawing astonished reactions from fans.




The footage, which many have described as highly disturbing, is being taken by some as definitive evidence that Lindsay was desperately crying out for help when she described herself as a “victim of domestic violence” early on in her relationship with Tarabasov.


The accusatory post was quickly deleted, but it was only the beginning of Lindsay’s very public relationship troubles.


Red flags have been appearing for months, and last week, family and friends became deeply concerned when Lindsay accused Egor of cheating during a bizarre, late-night social media rant.


“Lindsay is trying to make this seem okay and it is just not okay,” a source close to the situation tells Radar Online.


“Her family and friends think that she is in danger now and she cannot hide it anymore.”



The insider adds that Lohan’s inner circle is concerned, as despite the fact that she’s made a number of shocking accusations against Tarabasov, she always ends up going back to him.


“It seems like there is nothing that anyone can do,” says the source.


“Lindsay cut herself off from all of her network of people and she has become Egor’s puppet,” the pal said, adding, “Lindsay said that she does not want to live without him!”


“No one knows what to do because she seems out of her mind right now.”


Sadly, it’s a cycle that’s familiar to many who have loved ones who have been victims of abuse.


“Many of Lindsay’s close friends hate him and have been begging her to leave him for good,” said the source.


“Lindsay flipped out on everyone and said that no one wants to see her happy.”



Lohan’s father, Michael Lohan, is particularly angry and has stated that he would relish the opportunity to give Tarabasov a taste of his own medicine:


“I welcome the opportunity for him to sit down with me face to face,” Michael said.


“I’d give him the opportunity to slap me, so I would have a reason to man-handle him like he did Lindsay.”


He added, “He isn’t worth going to jail for.”


Michael previously praised Egor and stated that he believed Tarabasov and his family had the power to “save Lindsay’s career.”


Even after several indications that Lindsay’s relationship was with Egor was unhealthy, Michael expressed his excitement over the possibility that his daughter was carrying Tarabasov’s child:



As for Lindsay throwing Egor’s phone, Michael says the 22-year-old Russian real estate 


Lohan has yet to respond to the controversy over the footage that was released today.


Tellingly, the 30-year-old actress made her Instagram page private shortly after the video appeared online.


We’ll have further updates on this story as more information becomes available.

Jennifer Garner: Still in Denial About Ben Affleck"s Cheating?

It’s been three months since Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner separated, but the couple still hasn’t filed for divorce.


Some say they’re still hammering out the terms, while other sources insist that Ben and Jen are getting back together.



It’s hard to imagine these two actually working things out, but they have been spending an awful lot of time together lately.


In fact, some insiders claim Affleck and Garner have been attending marriage counseling as part of a last-ditch effort to save their relationship.


Those same sources say it’s actually working  – largely because Jen still refuses to believe the rumors about Ben and Christine Ouzounian.



Yes, despite countless reports about Ben’s nanny-banging, Star magazine claims that “Jen has chosen to believe her husband didn’t cheat on her.”


“That meant a lot to Ben,” says one insider. “And although he still swears nothing ever happened with Christine, he accepts his part in allowing the rumors to start.


“That’s why she decided to forgive Ben – and give their marriage another chance.”


The source says Garner also took a big step by admitting that she was too hard on Ben during the final months of their marriage:


“She’d scold him like a child whenever he had a beer, or make him feel bad for having a night out with the boys. It made him feel like he was always walking on eggshells around her and he started to resent her for not letting him do what he wanted. He told her that in therapy.” 


The source also claims that Ben said he’ll never stop drinking and gambling, but will “pull back on it” for Garner’s sake.


So Ben doesn’t have to apologize for cheating and he gets to continue boozing and playing poker? Sounds like Garner’s getting a raw deal on this reconciliation.
