Kailyn Lowry Opens Up About Being Cheated on By Javi Marroquin: I Didn"t Want to Know!
Despite the fact that their marriage ended over a year ago, Kailyn Lowry and Javi Marroquin appeared on the latest season of Marriage Boot Camp, and as you might expect from a divorced couple participating in a bunch of bonding exercises, it got ugly in a hurry.
In one particularly brutal episode, Javi submitted to a lie detector test, in which he answered questions about his alleged infidelity in a way that might have been useful when he and Kail were still married.
Not surprisingly, it turned out Marroquin wasn’t completely faithful during his marriage to Lowry.
Equally unsurprising is the fact that Kail wasn’t too keen on hearing all the details of his cheating.
“I always knew but I really didn’t want it to be confirmed and definitely [not] the way that it was confirmed — hence my initial question on Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars,”
Yes, it seemed the question that Kail wanted answered was one that’s far more pertinent to her life post-Javi–namely, “Do you purposely try to prevent me from succeeding?”
For obvious reasons, producers opted for the more scandalous query, which resulted in a situation where Kail had to stand there and listen to the truth about her ex-husband’s cheating in front of a full camera crew.
Fortunately, the mother of three is eager to put the past behind her.
“2017 broke me,” Kail tweeted, adding, “But we got this 2018.”
Lowry elaborated:
“Last year on NYE I came home from Denver and told [Bone Estrada] I was pregnant.”
These days, Kail seems to be in a much better place, and she’s actively documenting the struggles of being a single mother of three, not only for her fans, but also for the benefit of sons, so they might one day understand how much hardship she’s endured.
“So I started writing this book to lux… basically an apology letter to him… a letter to lux… now it’s a book to all 3 of my boys. And i can’t think of the perfect title,” Lowry tweeted yesterday.
Yes, it seems that even though she has no intention of collaborating with Javi on a pair of memoirs, as she’d once planned, Kailyn has no plans to stop cranking out bestsellers.
She recently announced that her eldest son, Isaac, will be illustrating a children’s book about the family’s pet French bulldog.
This new project is in addition to her other planned books, her new podcast, and of course, continuing to thrive as one of the resident fan favorites on Teen Mom 2.
No wonder she has no difficulty leaving Javi’s cheating in the past, where it belongs.
Needless to say, Ms. Lowry wasn’t lying when she said she’s got the new year on lock.

Meryl Streep to Rose McGowan: I Didn"t Know About Harvey Weinstein!
Rose McGowan has zero chill, and that’s usually a good thing. We love hearing her tear Harvey Weinstein a new one.
Sometimes, however, that admirable passion gets a little misplaced. The result is Rose McGowan slamming Meryl Streep, of all people, basically accusing her of having been complicit in Weinstein’s monstrous deeds.
Meryl Streep is speaking out, saying that she’s very hurt by Rose’s words, and endeavoring to make things clear.
Rose McGowan was outspoken in accusing Harvey Weinstein of rape — and she’s certainly not alone.
Too many actresses have come forward, identifying Weinstein as their harasser or their rapist.
Salma Hayek spoke of Weinstein as a “monster,” and says that she wonders if it was only her friendships with other influential members of Hollywood that prevented Weinstein from raping her.
Some times, a person escapes from a sexual predator because they have the right friends. Others just get lucky.
And others … unlucky.
Rose McGowan has spoken loud and clear against Weinstein. Unfortunately, some of her ire was misdirected at her fellow actresses.
“Actresses, like Meryl Streep, who happily worked for The Pig Monster, are wearing black @GoldenGlobes in a silent protest.”
We would counter that, surely, they did not know. A lot of people have no idea that there’s a monster in their midst.
“YOUR SILENCE is THE problem. You’ll accept a fake award breathlessly & affect no real change.”
All awards are fake, really.
“I despise your hypocrisy. Maybe you should all wear Marchesa.”
Marchesa, of course, is the clothing line by Weinstein’s wife. While many feel sorry for the woman who most assume never knew of her husband’s monstrous deeds, Rose McGowan has been less sympathetic.
Rose has since deleted the tweet.
Meryl Streep addressed Rose McGowan’s criticisms in a lengthy letter, published in The Huffington Post.
“It hurt to be attacked by Rose McGowan in banner headlines this weekend, but I want to let her know I did not know about Weinstein’s crimes, not in the ’90s when he attacked her, or through subsequent decades when he proceeded to attack others.”
That’s what we figured.
“I wasn’t deliberately silent. I didn’t know. I don’t tacitly approve of rape. I didn’t know. I don’t like young women being assaulted. I didn’t know this was happening.”
Sexual predators go to great lengths to cover up their crimes.
Meryl then goes on to explain how little contact she’s had with Weinstein.
“I don’t know where Harvey lives, nor has he ever been to my home.”
That’s good for her.
“I have never in my life been invited to his hotel room.”
For many actors, exchanging scripts and even auditioning in hotel rooms isn’t uncommon. Some wonder if, in light of these uncovered abuses, that should now change.
“I have been to his office once, for a meeting with Wes Craven for ‘Mustic of the Heart’ in 1998.”
That’s … nearly 20 years ago.
“HW distributed movies I made with other people.”
“HW was not a filmmaker; he was often a producer, primarily a marketer of films made by other people — some of them great, some not great.”
Weinstein did sometimes assume a hand-on role in films, but that makes him a demanding producer, not a filmmaker.
“But not every actor, actress, and director who made films that HW distributed knew he abused women, or that he raped Rose in the 90s, other women before and others after, until they told us. We did not know that women’s silence was purchased by him and his enablers.”
Sometimes, survivors are shocked to learn that other people didn’t know what happened to them. When something consumes your life, it’s hard to imagine that others could be so blind.
“HW needed us not to know this, because our association with him bought him credibility, an ability to lure young, aspiring women into circumstances where they would be hurt.”
Yes, predators have a vested interest in appearing innocent and personable.
“He needed me much more than I needed him and he made sure I didn’t know. Apparently he hired ex Mossad operators to protect this information from becoming public.”
We’ve heard about that.
“Rose and the scores of other victims of these powerful, moneyed, ruthless men face an adversary for whom Winning, at any and all costs, is the only acceptable outcome.”
Meryl then talks specifically about what people are doing to protect survivors from the wrath of the men who want them silenced.
“That’s why a legal defense fund for victims is currently being assembled to which hundreds of good hearted people in our business will contribute, to bring down the bastards, and help victims fight this scourge within.”
“Rose assumed and broadcast something untrue about me, and I wanted to let her know the truth.”
It’s clear that Meryl is speaking with compassion, here.
“Through friends who know her, I got my home phone number to her the minute I read the headlines.”
That was a good move to make.
“I sat by that phone all day yesterday and this morning, hoping to express both my deep respect for her and others’ bravery in exposing the monsters among us, and my sympathy for the untold, ongoing pain she suffers.”
Perhaps Rose McGowan was following Uma Thurman’s advice about waiting until she calms down before speaking up.
“No one can bring back what entitled bosses like Bill O’Reilly, Roger Ailes, and HW took from the women who endured attacks on their bodies and their ability to make a living.”
Sad but true.
“And I hoped that she would give me a hearing. She did not, but I hope she reads this.”
Meryl’s statement continues:
“I am truly sorry she sees me as an adversary, because we are both, together with all the women in our business, standing in defiance of the same implacable foe: a status quo that wants so badly to return to the bad old days, the old ways where women were used, abused and refused entry into the decision-making, top levels of the industry.”
And that, she says, is where the real problem lies.
“That’s where the cover-ups convene. Those rooms must be disinfected, and integrated, before anything even begins to change.”
Change can be a lengthy process, but it’s better to take your time than to rush and let horrible people slip through the cracks.

Jenelle Evans on Husband"s Abuse Allegations: He Probably Didn"t Do It, Dude!
Let"s be real, Jenelle Evans has never been the brightest crayon in the box.
Remember when she actually, honest to goodness believed that her lawyer could get her out of jail time because she had a Kesha concert to attend?
Like, yes, that was the reason she got all those feathers in her hair, and Kesha was her idol, but … really, girl?
That was several years ago, and you"d think that she"d have taken the opportunity to grow up at least a little since then.
But it simply has not happened.
Let"s take a good, hard look at Jenelle"s latest scandal, and her response to it.
Just for fun, but also to come to terms with the fact that there is literally no hope left for humanity …
1. David Eason = Bad News
OK, so Jenelle has been with David Eason for a couple of years now, right? And it’s important to remember that Jenelle has never, ever dated a good guy. Probably because good guys aren’t so interested in girls with over a dozen mug shots who have also done heroin on national television.
2. David’s Crimes
Before getting with Jenelle, David was accused of assaulting his heavily pregnant girlfriend, and also of strangling her shortly after she gave birth to their child. He’s also been charged with crimes like breaking and entering and larceny.
3. Red Flags
In fact, until just a few weeks ago, David was considered such an awful person that he wasn’t allowed to see his own son. His ex filed an order of protection that made it illegal for him to contact the kid, and he almost went to jail for violating the order when he saw his son in a grocery store and approached him for a hug.
4. … More Red Flags
As if all that wasn’t bad enough, Teen Mom 2 fans quickly developed a hatred for David after he was shown being overly aggressive and mean with Jenelle’s two sons. We saw him get angry at Kaiser, who was barely a toddler at the time, for not behaving, and we also saw him call Kaiser a “screaming little bitch.”
5. Just Red Flags as Far as the Eye Can See
Things are so bad between David and Jenelle’s sons that we’ve heard that Jace has told his therapist that he’s afraid of David. He even told Jenelle several times that he didn’t want her to marry him.
6. Poor Babs 🙁
Another awful thing about David is the way he tries to alienate Jenelle from her mother, Barbara. He’s insisted that she call her by her name instead of calling her “mom,” and Barbara has said that he’s the worst guy Jenelle’s ever dated. Which is saying a lot.

Farrah Abraham: I Didn"t Get Paid for My Porn! I"m Suing!
Ever since Farrah Abraham ranted about being fired from Teen Mom OG, the world has been wondering why it happened, how it happened, and if it happened. This is Farrah we’re talking about, folks.
Only we’re now learning that Farrah isn’t just having issues with MTV. She’s apparently having issues with the porn company that employed her.
So much so that Farrah is suing them for thousands of dollars that she says that they owe her. This is gonna be fun.
You know in sitcoms or romantic comedies or whatever when there’s a male character who’s hooking up with two women and he knows that he has to choose … but waits too long and ends up losing them both?
Well, that appears to be what happened with Farrah Abraham.
But instead of losing two lovers, she maybe lost two different sources of income. Two jobs.
Whatever happened with MTV — because there’s still a lot that’s unclear, especially after Farrah Abraham said that she wasn’t fired — Farrah appears to be in hot water.
Allegedly, this is over her sex work.
On the one hand, obviously, sex work is a valid form of employment and sex workers don’t deserve the kind of stigma that they receive.
(Though it’s possible that sex workers don’t really want Farrah Abraham working as their champion, because of her … personality issues)
On the other hand, if Farrah’s sex work is a clear violation of her contract with MTV, then that’s another matter.
Plenty of jobs have exclusivity clauses — though reality stars tend to get money from multiple sources, capitalizing on their fame.
Plenty of jobs have “morality” clauses, which tend to have less to do with actual right and wrong and more to do with things that they worry will make them look bad. Something like that could be at play, here.
But questioning the grounds on which Farrah Abraham — the how of it all — might be less important than the why.
Does MTV really get its garters in a twist over sex work? Farrah’s brand of sex work is completely legal.
When Farrah Abraham strips down and masturbates on camera, the only “bad” thing about the livestream is that Farrah’s involved. Oh, and that the livestream might crash due to high demand.
(Yes, really)
The thing is that it sounds like the sex work, if it was even a real factor, might just be an excuse.
A lot of people don’t like Farrah Abraham, and Farrah’s various Teen Mom costars may have banded together to get her booted off of the show.
That sounds awfully believable, though we wish that the impetus were one of Farrah’s racist rants, which are actual bad things.
If Farrah really is losing her Teen Mom job because of sex work, that’s extra bad, because things between her and CamSoda right now are … not good.
RadarOnline reports that Farrah Abraham is suing CamSoda, the company for which she previously livestreamed.
She is suing the company for $ 5,000, which Farrah says that they have wrongly withheld.
Farrah’s legal team’s letter to the porn company contains details.
“Ms. Abraham was to be paid a total of ten thousand dollars; half due within two business days of signing the Agreement, and the remainder due following the completion of the Session.”
First of all, 10 grand is a lot more than most camgirls make, but most camgirls aren’t celebrities.
“Ms. Abraham fulfilled her obligations under the contract, but despite this, CamSoda is willfully withholding the remaining $ 5,000 due under the Agreement, thereby constituting a material breach of contract.”
According to the letter, CamSoda’s issue is that Farrah wasn’t wearing CamSoda merch … and said less than nice things about the company on social media.
“[Abraham] did not disrobe during the session; and allegedly disparaged CamSoda on social media.”
We can see how both of those wouldn’t sit right with CamSoda.
“With respect to not disrobing, there is no requirement under the Agreement for Ms. Abraham to disrobe or be fully nude.”
That’s a surprise. You might want to include that in writing next time, CamSoda.
“To the contrary, the Agreement specifically states that ‘Performer shall interact with and respond to various users during the Session as Company and Performer may agree.’ Ms. Abraham complied with this obligation and it was CamSoda who unilaterally decided to cut the Session short.”
So … Farrah started a livestream but didn’t get a chance to get into it, then the bosses cut things short, and then Farrah said some unkind things about the company — allegedly. That’s the issue, right?
The letter goes on to say that CamSoda needs to cough up that 5 grand, or Farrah will seek damages and compensation for legal fees to the tune of $ 75,000.
It sounds like two things are going on here.
One, Farrah — like with MTV — voiced her criticism of a company employing her and didn’t except any consequences. Don’t do that, folks.
Two, it sounds like CamSoda is having buyer’s remorse when it comes to Farrah.
Our thoughts? Unless Farrah really did violate their agreement, it sounds like CamSoda might owe her a little cash. Maybe they should just pay her … and then not hire her again, now that they know what she’s like to work with.
In the mean time, we’ll keep trying to figure out if she’s actually been fired from Teen Mom OG or if she’s just … being Farrah.

Farrah Abraham: MTV Didn"t Fire Me, But They ARE Committing Hate Crimes!
Farrah Abraham has had a hell of a week.
Just think: she woke up on Monday morning expecting to masturbate for strangers on the internet, but instead she ended up getting fired from a reality show about the aftermath of teen pregnancy.
Honestly, haven’t we all been there?
In a truly bizarre Instagram post she shared on Tuesday, she explained that “Viacom let me go because as a Business Mogul I act like an adult and part take in adult promotions and activities that other adults do for FREE or in private!”
To translate, she claimed she was fired from Teen Mom OG because of her continued involvement in the sex industry.
Farrah also wrote that it was “sad” that “such a phenomenal show will no longer have its biggest talent on the show because of women hating, sex shaming, hate crimes, selfish, Weinstein company power trip behaviors against a professional hard working, honest mother.”
She said that she is proud of herself for “not giving in to be sex shamed by Viacom network” and to not have a network take away financial opportunities for my goals.”
Like always, it was hard to understand exactly what she was trying to communicate, but it seemed like she was saying that she was given an ultimatum: do porn or do Teen Mom, but not both.
After her rant, sources came forward to explain that while the sex stuff is definitely an issue, so is Farrah’s personality.
So many people dislike her, from Teen Mom fans to the poor MTV crews who have to work with her to make Teen Mom.
It’s all been very scandalous … but here’s a plot twist!
In a new message Farrah has shared across all of her social media platforms, as well as in one amazingly nonsensical video she posted on YouTube, she’s now saying that she wasn’t fired at all.
In the video, she says that according to Viacom’s legal team, “I have not been let go, I have not been fired.”
… Wait, what?
Was she lying about being fired? Was MTV lying? Was the whole thing just made up to get some publicity for the upcoming season of Teen Mom OG?
It’s hard to say, because literally nothing Farrah says in this video makes any sense.
At one point, she did refer to “all the accomplists” — we think she’s trying to say “accomplices,” but who can say? — “who are associated with ‘fake firing’ me … for the gain of your own press.”
So it sort of seems like she’s insinuating that someone pretended to fire her to get people talking? Maybe?
Later in the video, she says that she doesn’t need producers, that she can produce herself. She’d be fine with a scripted show or an actual reality show, but the way so many things are “faked” now bothers her.
Going forward, she says that either the production company can change, or she’ll “turn them in.”
“I will not be sex-shamed,” she insists. “I will not be verbally sexually assaulted, I will not deal with any Weinstein company behaviors of power trips, manipulation, with all these accomplices around, trying to screw over talent, manipulate talent.”
“Don’t even waste a penny ordering Teen Mom anything,” she tells viewers, “because it’s not credible, it’s all fake, it’s all contrived, and it’s hurting real human beings. Real children. Real mothers.”
She accuses the people behind the show of committing “hate crimes” against all the Teen Moms, that they instigate fights and manipulates people and situations to get good footage.
She actually throws the whole “hate crimes” thing around a lot, which is a little funny and also a little sad.
In the caption of the video, she does claim that she was “INTERROGATED IN HER OWN HOME” and told that she was fired “SO SHE CAN CHOOSE TO DO HER WEBCAM PROMOTON OR FILM TEEN MOM?”
So apparently she was given an ultimatum — it sounds like she hasn’t officially been fired, since she didn’t go through with her latest “webcam promoton,” but that she’s not really sure about her future with the show.
Will she follow her principles and refuse to continue filming if the crew continues their hate crimes?
Will she suck it up and keep doing the show to get that sweet, sweet Teen Mom money?
Only time — and what’s shaping up to be an incredible season of Teen Mom OG — will tell.
