Thomas Ravenel Accuses Kathryn Dennis of Exploiting Kids for "Marketability" and Fame

Thomas Ravenel continues to prove that he’s simply the worst.

We doubt anyone familiar with the former Southern Charm lead would argue this point, but please allow us to explain why it must now be emphasized once again…

As previously reported on The Hollywood Gossip, Kathryn Dennis recently filed to amend her ongoing child custody agreement with Ravenel.

The stars are no longer together, but they will forever be parents to a four-year old daughter named Kensie and a nearly three-year old son named Saint.

Dennis filed these papers and asked a judge to grant her full custody of the toddlers after Ravenel was arrested for sexual assault.

Obtained by People Magazine, the documents accuse Ravenel of relying “upon the use of full-time nannies” to care for his kids, while also referencing the pair of sexual assault allegations brought against him.

Dennis also alleges that Ravenel “has drunk alcohol to excess, mixed with prescription drugs, that has caused him to be impaired during periods of time in which he had custody of the children.”

She says plenty more as well.

Dennis claims her ex of exhibited “periods of impulsive and uncontrollable bouts of anger” and “extreme narcissism and anger management problems.”

Moreover, Dennis went after Ravenel’s most recent girlfriend, Ashley Jacobs, writing that he encouraged her to “verbally assault and attack” Dennis on the Bravo series, something for which Jacobs has actually apologized.

On November 6, responded to these scathing claims.

He actually filed a counterclaim, strongly denying all of Dennis’ allegations and accusing Kathryn of acting “in bad faith.”

Ravenel doesn’t believe Dennis actually cares about the well-being of her kids or that she really thinks Thomas is a bad influence on them.

Instead, Ravenel writes in his official reply that Dennis filed her complaint “for the purpose of garnering media attention, creating material for her storyline on Southern Charm and ensuring her marketability as a reality TV star.”

Indeed, there’s simply no way Dennis would want to keep her kids away from someone accused by two women of rape, right?

She must have a self-centered motive and simply must be making these claims to advane her own career.

(That second sentence was written with sarcasm, in case you couldn’t tell.)

In his filing, Ravenel allegsd that Dennis’ attempt to seek primary custody was “for the sole and/or primary purpose” of securing her role on the Bravo program and “progressing her storyline as the ‘rehabilitated mother who regains possession of her minor children.’”

(Dennis lost custody of the kids and entered rehab in 2016 after she failed a drug test. She has since earned back 50/50 custody.)

It’s hard to get much more cynical than that.

Ravenel even says that the producers of Southern Charm encouraged Dennis to seek full custody in order to have “dramatic material for next season.”

No one from the network has responded to this charge just yet.

Ravenel is asking the court to issue a restraint prohibiting Dennis from discussing their litigation on the show, on social media and with the press.

He’s also asking the court to prohibit their kids from being filmed or featured on Southern Charm.

Ravenel is saying all of this just days after a South Carolina judge found probable cause for second-degree assault and battery charges against Ravenel stemming from an incident in 2015.

A nanny who worked for the star has said on legal record that Ravenel “corralled” her into his master bedroom at that time, dropped his pants, blocked the door and “proceeded to rip my clothes off.” 

She doesn’t explain how, but the nanny says she managed to extricate herself from the situation before anything further took place.

Ravenel has denied this claim and has said he will not return to Southern Charm for Season 6.

Audrina Patridge Accused by Ex of Exploiting Daughter for The Hills!

The Hills are alive — or they’re going to be, because The Hills: New Beginnings is a real thing that is happening.

Audrina Patridge has confirmed that she will be part of the revival of the groundbreaking reality series. But her ex Corey Bohan is making demands.

He has now taken to social media to insist that their daughter have no part in the show.

Audrina and Corey split up just about one year ago, and there were upsetting reports that Corey Bohan was emotionally and even physically abusive with her, prompting her filing a restraining order.

Corey was also accused of being unable to control his behavior, including outbursts and obscenities, in the presence of their very young daughter.

But now that The Hills is making its comeback, Corey has decided that the real menace to his family is … reality television.

Corey’s Instagram is now set to private, but the good folks over at The Ashley got their hands on a message that he shared with his followers.

In his Instagram post, Corey blasts reality television as exploitative, and seems to think that merely being on camera would harm his daughter.

In white letters on a black background, Corey says that if he gets his way, his daughter will never be part of The Hills: New Beginnings.

“I refuse to think it’s ok for our 2yr old daughter Kirra Bohan to be shown & exploited on reality TV,” Corey writes.

For the record, the show has not yet begun filming, and it’s unclear whose children, if any, will appear on screen.

“Not just my child,” Corey continues. “But anyone’s for that matter.” 

Most assume that Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag’s baby will get some airtime. It looks like he’s eager to throw shade in multiple directions.

Corey’s post continues.

“I stand up for what I believe in,” Corey insists.

Though he appears to be questioning the parenting judgment of a whole lot of people, he claims that he’s not taking a shot at anyone.

Corey writes: “This post isn’t an attack or negative rant.”

“This,” Corey proclaims. “Is about our daughter Kirra Bohan.”

Contrary to what the BMX rider might fear, Audrina isn’t strutting Kirra out in front of anybody’s cameras just yet.

“They haven’t even started filming the show yet,” a source tells People.

Additionally, the insider shares that “Audrina hasn’t made any final decisions about whether Kirra will appear.”

As far as things with her ex go, Audrina “just wants things to be okay.”

That is a very understandable feeling. But we’re not sure if she’s going to get her wish.

We don’t mean to sound like we’re accusing Corey Bohan of planning ahead, but it sounds like he may be laying the groundwork for his next custody battle.

See, because of Corey’s alleged behavior towards her and around their daughter, some of which was in public, Audrina has sole custody.

Corey clearly does not like that, and he may plan to use “reality television harms children” or “she’s using our baby for cash” as an argument in court.

That is just a guess, however. We of course cannot speak with certainty of Corey’s motivations or intentions.

It may be that he just wanted to lash out online.

Rosie O"Donnell Slams Pregnant Daughter, Accuses Her of Exploiting Ex-Wife’s Death

Rosie O’Donnell is officially engaged in the ugliest family feud of the summer.

And maybe the ugliest family feud of all-time.

On Tuesday, O’Donnell’s daughter, Chelsea, announced that she was pregnant with her first child.

This was a cause for celebration, but also a cause for a warning, as Chelsea made it clear that her mother won’t play any role in the pending baby’s universe.

“Rosie will not be in my child’s life,” Chelsea told The Daily Mail, emphasizing for good measure: “No, I do not feel sad about that to be honest.”

Chelsea was adopted by O’Donnell (and her first wife, Kelli Carpenter, with whom Chelsea remains close) when she was a baby and added that she’s nine weeks pregnant.

Back in the summer of 2015, O’Donnell Tweeted that her then-17-year old daughter had run away from home.

Chelsea was tracked down two weeks later with a man she reportedly met via Tinder.

Shortly after turning 18, Chelsea moved in with her birth mother and has wanted very little to do with Rosie.

Now, following the confirmation of her child’s pregnancy and the scathing words aimed in her direction, the former talk show host has fired back. HARD.

In a series of late-night Tweets, Rosie SLAMMED Chelsea, claiming she’s exploiting the recent suicide of O’Donnell’s ex-wife, Michelle Rounds, for money.

“we have been here before Chelsea u wanna go a few rounds in public seems so,” O’Donnell Tweeted, adding:

“Michelle’s death = money 4 Chelsea.”

It’s unclear just what O’Donnell means by this. It’s unclear how she thinks her adopted daughter is exploiting the memory of her late wife.

But Rosie laid into Chelsea via other mean-spirited Tweets as well.

In a collage of image, the mother of five Tweeted:

“loving people doesn’t save them- sometimes love has no say.”

She also shared a photo of Chelsea in front of a computer, bringing up an ugly allegation from the past and writing:

“did u hate me this day? last year – at the apple store – was this b4 nick was arrested for beating u up? same same.”

We don’t know much about Chelsea’s relationship with her husband, that’s for sure.

In 2016, though, she met Nick at a Dunkin Donuts and they got married three months later.

“I don’t have her # – no contact since … jan …” Rosie also Tweeted of her daughter last night, adding: “

“a reporter called her – and then paid her – AGAIN.”

For her part, Chelsea says she is excited to become a first-time mother.

“I’m looking forward to it,” she told the Daily Mail. “I really don’t care if I have a boy or a girl. I’m just hoping for a healthy baby.”

Kris Jenner: Exploiting Scott Disick Breakdown with Ratings-Driven Intervention?!

Scott Disick‘s battle with addiction nearly resulted in the end of his life. Now Kris Jenner is reportedly doing what any parental figure would:

Exploit it and turn it into a dramatic reality TV storyline!

On August 18, Scott was placed on a 5150 psych hold after being rushed to the hospital, apparently having suffered a massive breakdown.

The 34-year-old dad of three has been spiraling out of control for years, especially since breaking up with Kourtney Kardashian in 2015.

Despite multiple trips to rehab, and a health incident that sounds as scary as it can get, Disick continues to party hard even as we speak.

That’s what has Kris Jenner scrambling to save his life.

With the cameras rolling of course, because come on.

Says an insider close to the famous Momager:

“Kris wants to stage an intervention for Scott, and wants to do it on-camera to be used in the upcoming season of Keeping Up With the Kardashians.”

Hey, if the guy needs an intervention anyway …

Lest you think that Jenner is interested in only ratings here, the insider says she is obviously interested in more than just ratings here.

“She is also trying everything she can to get him into rehab. She wants Scott to be there for her grandchildren,” says the source.

“Kris knows that if he keeps going, he will die.”

“His drinking has ruined his life, his relationship with Kourtney and his friendship with Khloe,” laments the insider. “It’s really sad.”

That much is obvious, as is the fact that the guy could use someone – something – to knock some sense into him, cameras or not.

Will this actually do the job, though?

This is not a man who has been open to change before, even as his health deteriorates and his dependence on alcohol persists.

“Scott started using drugs and alcohol as a way to escape from his problems,” an unidentified friend of Scott’s told Radar Online.

“However, the more he continued to drink, the worse his other problem became,” which is where this story gets even more dire.

People close to Scott say he poses a danger to himself, not because of erratic behavior, but because of life-saving medications.

Or, specifically, refusing to take them.

For months, we’ve heard whispers that Disick is suffering from liver disease attributed to years of heavy drinking, culminating this summer.

As such, the medication that Scott needs is necessary due to the self-destructive fashion in which he has chosen to go about his existence.

This, another friend says, was why he ended up involuntarily hospitalized a month ago, and why the worst may be yet to come, scarily.

“Kourtney [Kardashian] and Scott know that the incident was caused by him not taking medications that he is prescribed,” says one insider.

She and Kris Jenner reportedly called the police when they realized that Scott had gone off his medication while continuing to drink.

Knowing he was a danger to himself and others, authorities placed him under a 72-hour psychiatric hold, the longest allowable by law.

Disick reportedly resumed taking his meds after that, though he also kept drinking, leaving family and friends praying he comes to his senses.

Audrey Roloff: Is She Exploiting God in the Name of Greed?

This is so not what Audrey Roloff needs right now.

Just a few days before she’s set to give birth to her first child, the Little People, Big World star is suddenly under fire from multiple fronts.

First, the excited mother-to-be somehow found herself facing criticism simply for… well… being an excited-mother-to-be.

After sharing a number of belly bump photos across her social media accounts, Roloff was ripped this week for this “disgraceful” show of semi-nudity.

We wish we were making that up.

But comments such as these have been showing up under Audrey’s Facebook images:

When certain followers are not (ridiculously) slamming Roloff for posting too many pictures of her bare stomach, others are taking her to task for the way she combines occasional tributes to God…

… with promotional messages about her online store.

Take something Roloff wrote online a few days ago, for instance.

The reality star admitted that she’s “nervous for labor and delivery” of her impending daughter, but added that he’s sort of cool and exciting to not know when she’ll arrive.

“It’s a reminder to surrender and trust God’s timing and plan because it’s far better than mine could ever be. It’s a reminder that God’s purposes will prevail even if my plans fail,” she wrote.

Concluded Roloff:

“Thank you Lord for being the author of life, my comforter, my strength, and my shield.”

Very honest and open and emotional and relevant, right?

Audrey has always been candid about her connection to Jesus Christ.

But then she ended this message as follows:

We can’t wait to meet our baby girl and dress her in all the new baby onesies that I launched in my shop yesterday!!!

As you can see above, Roloff also included a link to her Internet business.

She even told fans to “#shopalwaysmore,” just a few words after she was praising the strength and power of God.

Even the most ardent Little People, Big World fans must admit, this is a little… strange? Tacky? Tasteless?

Or, to borrow a term from one of Audrey’s Facebook critics, it’s a bit exploitive.

“Did you really just praise God one second, and then link to your business the next second?” asked Brian Finnegan, whose question was basically echoed by Manion Dwyer, who wrote:

“L8me! its hard to take ur faith seriously when its used as preamble 2 ur business.”

Harsh words, but we can see where these folks are coming from.

Do we doubt Audrey is a dedicated Christian? Not one bit.

We’ve been fans long enough to believe she means every word of her tributes to The Big Man Upstairs.

However, we can also concede that talking about the beauty of God in a paragraph that immediately proceeds promotion of one’s money-making website is pretty tawdry.

It may be taken as offense to other religious people, even if Audrey did not mean it that way.

Still, this doesn’t mean she deserves the vitriol she’s received for simply sharing baby bump photos. That’s just insane.

So keep us apprised over that fetus, please, Audrey, but maybe keep posts about your God separate from posts about your website going forward.

Best of luck with the rest of your pregnancy!

Derick Dillard Accused of Exploiting Duggars, Lying About Missionary Certification (Exclusive)

In the three years since Derick Dillard married Jill Duggar, the couple has seemed to build a life and start a family together with remarkable ease.

But now it seems that the road traveled by the Dillard family hasn’t been as smooth as we were led to believe.

If you’re a fan of all things Duggar, then you’re likely aware that Jill and Derick have spent much of their life as a married couple performing missionary work in Central America.

But while their intentions may have been honorable, the couple’s time in El Salvador has generated a fair amount of controversy, much of it having to do with the fact that Jill and Derick are not licensed missionaries.

As a result, they’re not sponsored by any church or recognized by any regulatory body, and they’ve been forced to rely on dubious means such as solicited donations from fans in order to fund their trips.

Worse, the Dillards dishonesty on the matter may be putting the health and welfare of others at stake.

Despite previous claims to the contrary, Jill is not a certified midwife, and Derick never completed the necessary certification work required by the Southern Baptist Convention or the International Missions Board.

Now, an insider who was formerly close to several members of the Duggar family exclusively tells The Hollywood Gossip that the Dillards’ deceptions are no secret within their inner circle, and many who know them best are highly suspicious of their motives.

“They go on a mission, they’re not sponsored by any church whatsoever, and they go, and they solicit money from people, they ask for donations,” our source says.

“Of course, they have money coming from Counting On, but Derick, to my knowledge, has never had a job.”

The insider goes on to say that he harbors doubts about the Dillards’ intentions, as well as with regard to who’s really funding their time in Central America:

“[Derick] is not an ordained missionary. They more or less just go over there on their own, and I’m wondering if TLC isn’t footing the bill just for coverage. Just so they have something to sell,” he adds.

“I just wonder what the reasoning for it is. Are they doing it for capital gain? Ever since I’ve learned so much about Jim Bob and how he truly is, I second guess everything.”

Our source adds that his questions about Derick’s motives in performing unlicensed missionary work have led him to wonder if the father of two is an opportunist who’s seeking to take advantage of the Duggars’ wealth and fame.

Describing Dillard as a “mooch” who seems to have no interest in full-time employment, the insider says that Derick seems to have no trouble with the perception that he’s freeloading on his in-laws 

“Derick is just hanging on to someone’s shirttails,” the tipster says.

“Disgusts me. They used to be pretty well thought of.”

Coming on the heels of yesterday’s report about Jim Bob Duggar clashing with his other sons-in-law, the news about Derick seems to indicate that internal strife within the Duggar family is more widespread than initially thought.

Currently, the Dillards are at home in Arkansas, as Jill welcomed her second child just last month.

They say they have no immediate plans to return to Central America, but have every intention of continuing to perform missionary work abroad.

The couple has yet to publicly address the controversy over their lack of proper training.

Angelina Jolie: Under Fire for Exploiting Cambodian Orphans!

When Angelina Jolie’s big Vanity Fair interview came out yesterday, most people were immediately drawn to all the quotes about Brad Pitt and the divorce.

Which is definitely understandable — there’s still a lot of dirt there that we don’t know about.

But the interview was so long, and she covered so many topics, the whole thing is really worth a second read-through, after you feel all your Brangelina feelings.

And when you do read it again, you may realize that there’s a seriously disturbing story tucked away in there.

Throughout the piece, Angelina’s upcoming film, First They Killed My Father, is discussed.

The film is based on Loung Ung’s memoir of the same name, and it’s about her experiences growing up in Cambodia under the Khmer Rouge.

Angelina directed it, and obviously an important part of making the movie was casting a child who would be able to act out such horrific moments.

So there were probably lots of auditions, right?

The cast is entirely Cambodian, so she probably just went over with a team and held auditions until the right child actor was found.

Except that’s not exactly how things went down.

According to an anecdote in Angelina’s profile, “To cast the children in the film, Jolie looked at orphanages, circuses, and slum schools, specifically seeing children who had experienced hardship.”

“In order to find their lead, to play Loung Ung, the casting directors set up a game, rather disturbing in its realism.”

The “game” in question went like this: “they put money on the table and asked the child to think of something she needed the money for, and then to snatch it away.”

“The director would pretend to catch the child, and the child would have to come up with a lie.”

Angelina recalled that Srey Moch, the girl selected to play the lead, “was the only child that stared at the money for a very, very long time.”

“When she was forced to give it back, she became overwhelmed with emotion. All these different things came flooding back.”

Then, she said, when they asked that poor little girl what she imagined using the money for, “she said her grandfather had died, and they didn’t have enough money for a nice funeral.”

So instead of behaving like people with hearts would, they pulled kids from orphanages and slums, dangled money in front of them and tried to get them to remember bad times?

Sounds like a brilliant move, right?

Just kidding — it actually sounds heartbreaking.

To taunt these poor children this way, and to then send most of them away because they didn’t suit their needs is just too sad.

And it seems like most people agree.

“Angelina Jolie deliberately re-traumatized children to make her movie, turning their lived experiences into entertainment,” one person wrote on Twitter.

Another tweeted “‘Humanitarian’ Angelina Jolie cast her new movie by giving poor Cambodian children money and then taking it away.”

One person even joked “The Hunger Games, except its Angelina Jolie auditioning you to be in a f-cked up movie.”

It’s really just a horrific story, and it’s hard to understand why Angelina even felt the need to include it here.

Or why a team of people thought their casting “game” was an acceptable thing to do in the first place.

Kate Gosselin: Destroyed By Fans For Abusing, Exploiting Collin!

Kate Gosselin says her troubled son, Collin, has been sent away from home to treat “special needs” … and fans are far from pleased.

Obviously, Collin’s personal situation has sparked debate and sympathy from the public, as no one likes to see an adolescent struggle.

The 41-year-old single mom’s conduct – past and present – has come under heavy scrutiny, however, as it pertains to the child.

Kate’s Instagram post promoting her People cover story, which featured all the kids but Collin, has quite the collection of harsh comments.

Followers have lashed out, accusing her of exploiting her 12-year-old son’s issues for her own personal gain – nothing new for Kate.

Kate Gosselin: Collin Has Special Needs, is Away Getting Help to “Reach Full Potential”

“Shame on you for being so desperate for attention that you disclose this information about your beautiful boy!” one fellow mom wrote.

“There is no low too low for you,” another opined.

“Colin,” the fan said, “deserves better from you.”

Damn, that’s rough, but after Kate admitted spanking Collin and being “too rough” on him in an attempt to deal with his personal issues?

Well, fans are even more pissed.

“I can’t help but think, one day Collin will read about himself on the Internet, and really think there’s something wrong with him,” says a fan.

Collin has reportedly been undergoing care for at least one month at a Philadelphia-area facility nearly two hours from the family home.

“[There’s] a fairly fluid diagnosis of what those needs are, but he needs to learn certain strategies to help him deal with things,” she said.

“This has been a struggle we’ve had for a very long time, and it’s one I’ve dealt with on my own. I’ve felt very alone in this.”

“By the same token, it’s not something that has only impacted me or him … our entire family has been impacted [by this].” 

Meanwhile, a source close to the children’s father, Jon Gosselin, says he’s furious at the reality star for taking their son’s problems public.

“Jon can’t believe that Kate is talking about this for the cover of a magazine,” the insider said. “Collin is just a kid, and deserves his privacy.”

Jon is also beside himself that his daughters called him a deadbeat in the interview, but that’s a whole different story for another time.

In any event, the abuse allegations against Kate are not new. See Robert Hoffman’s 2014 tell-all, Kate Gosselin: How She Fooled the World.

According to the book, Kate acknowledged being “too rough” with Collin when he was as little as two years old and wouldn’t obey her.

“I feel so guilty that I treated him like that,” she wrote, of disciplining him harshly in 2006. “I will set out tomorrow to be a better mommy.”

In January 2007, when Collin knocked over a high chair and spilled a bag of beans, Kate wrote in her diary that she flew into a rage.

“I was instantly so SO angry, that I grabbed him and spanked him as hard as I could and thought I may seriously injure him,” she wrote.

“So I sent him to his crib til Jon came home!” she wrote. “I have never felt that I may seriously injure a child but today was that day!”

Kate says she noticed Collin’s temper, and observed that she did not like “that he doesn’t know how to handle his frustration and anger.” 

Fast forward ten years, and here we are.

She’ll be dealing with the frustration and anger of the public the more she talks about it, and it’s hard to say the criticism isn’t warranted.

We just hope Collin is doing better.

Farrah Abraham SLAMS Other Teen Moms: They"re Exploiting Their Kids For Fame!

Farrah Abraham saying awful things in interviews is nothing new.

Farrah offering up a hot take on other people’s integrity and parenting skills, however, is at least somewhat unexpected.

We’ve already discussed Farrah’s interview on the Allegedly podcast earlier this week, but the thing is so loaded with WTF?! moments, we’re gonna need to attack it from multiple angles.

After discussing her many, many (many) plastic surgery procedures, Farrah offered up a word salad tossed in Palin’s Own dressing:

“I know how to give passion more into the universe, and I think it lacks it so much that I wouldn’t be happy if I didn’t improve where I was,” she said.

“That’s the kind of soul that I got.” 

If you’re thinking to yourself that it sounds like someone cut up a bunch of bumper stickers, threw them into a bag and pulled them out at random, you’re definitely not alone.

But don’t worry, Farrah quickly set aside the pseudo-spiritual mumbo-jumbo to do what she does best – throw serious shade:

During a discussion about Farrah’s many business ventures, host Theo Vonn asked if she would consider having another kid in order to cash in by raising her public profile.

Farrah responded as only she could:

“That option has been taken by all of my other cast members,” she answered.

“They have really milked the sh-t out of that one.” 

Farrah’s been criticized for her parenting several times in recent weeks, so it’s not unreasonable for her to respond in kind.

However, it is unreasonable for her to suggest that the other women on Teen Mom had kids just to get famous!

Of course, “unreasonable” is pretty much Farrah’s middle name, so there’s very little she could do to surprise us at this point.

The new season of Teen Mom: OG debuts on MTV on August 22.

Chris Brown Accused of Exploiting Alton Sterling, Philando Castile Deaths

As you no doubt heard, the online community was rocked yesterday by the shocking video of police shooting and killing Alton Sterling, a 37-year-old father of five who was murdered in his hometown of Baton Rouge, LA.

While the world was still reeling from yet another death at the hands of American police officers, another horrifying incident took place last night, this one in Minnesota.

Lavish Reynolds, the girlfriend of 32-year-old Philando Castile, livestreamed on Facebook as Castile died from gunshot wounds inflicted by a cop.

Reynolds was forbidden to do anything to help Castile as he lay dying in her passenger seat.

The officer who discharged his weapon kept his gun pointed at the couple and shouted obscenities while Castile took his last breaths.

Naturally most celebrities reacted with compassion, outrage and pleas for change:

View Slideshow: Alton Sterling Murder: Celebrities React In Shock

Unfortunately, celebrities are like regular people – except they’re usually more sheltered and narcissistic – so some of them responded to the situation like full-blown jackasses. 

For one, there are the many who posted photos and address information of a man named Robert Kinnison, falsely identifying him as the cop responsible for Sterling’s death.

(Pro tip: Do a little research before you sic an angry mob on someone.)

And then there’s Chris Brown, aka Breezy, aka Douche of the Millenium.

Brown has been accused of exploiting the deaths of Sterling and Castile with the following tweet:

“This song I released for free for anybody dealing with injustice or struggle in their lives…”

Naturally, it was followed by a link to his Soundcloud page.

Maybe Breezy’s heart was in the right place.

And maybe he’s currently being , so he probably shouldn’t be instructing the rest of us on how to heal the world.

Non-violence starts at home, Breezy!

Farrah Abraham Poses Like Kim Kardashian, Takes Break From Exploiting Sophia at Least

If you thought Farrah Abraham’s face and body were crazy out of control before, well, you were right … but it’s only getting worse now.

We know. It looks like an old, Photoshopped picture of Kim Kardashian. So much so that we thought it actually was the reality star.

Rather Ironic, since Farrah is better than Kim Kardashian in the opinion of Farrah, that she seems to emulate her non-idol so deliberately.

Then again, this is a young woman who adamantly insists that she is not a porn star pretty much every time she opens her mouth.

After starring in a pornographic film, natch.

Her relationship with the truth is as fractured as they come, which we suppose is what happens when you grow up in that environment.

Pregnancy. Abuse. Heartbreak. Death.

To say she’s been through a lot and has lacked for the parental guidance most stable people take for granted would be an understatement.

In that sense, we feel sympathy for Farrah.

Such a poor, broken bird forced to spread her wings to fly too soon; one whose innocence has been shattered and may never fully recover.

All we can do is hope for the best, hope she gains some self-awareness eventually, and look for the silver linings whenever we can.

Speaking of which, there is one here.

On the plus side, at least she took a break from posting inappropriate pics of her daughter, whose modeling career is really taking off!

You know, ’cause that’s what Sophia wants in life. Farrah’s just being a supportive mom who wants to help a seven-year-old get hers.

Such a modern woman and parent.

If Soph wants plastic surgery or to star in her own sex tape (NOT porno) someday, then Farrah will be there to support her ambitions.

Then again, Sophia wants to do her own thing sometimes while the Teen Mom cast member lives her own life. So you never know.

Seriously. Can’t make this stuff up.

Jill Duggar Visits Orphanage: Is She Adopting or Exploiting?

It looks as though Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard recently returned to Arkansas after another abbreviated stint doing missionary work in El Salvador.

Back when they were filming the first full season of Jill & Jessa: Counting On, however, the Dillards were living the Equator life and getting deeply involved in the community they served.

A preview for this week"s episode shows Jill and Derick stopping by a local orphanage along with Jill"s sisters Jessa and Jana, who were visiting from the States.

“I can definitely see Jill and Derick adopting in the future,” Jana says in the clip. “They definitely have a heart for babies and little ones and I know that Jill has talked about it in the past.

Jill jokes about wanting to take some of the kids home with her, and it seems she"s not the only one who"s yearning to expand her family.

Jessa Duggar has talked about adopting in the past, and it seems the visit to the orphanage reawakened that desire in her:

“It just makes you want to cry when you see all these kids. I wish I could take them home,” she says.

“Ben and I really want to adopt. Hopefully soon. Every time we visit that makes that decision even more real for us. We just want to do that as soon as possible.”

Based on those comments, we wouldn"t be surprised if the Seewalds have already started the process.

Of course, just about everything the Duggars do stirs up controversy these days, and the visit to the orphanage is not different.

The sisters have been criticized on social media for exploiting the orphaned and impoverished children of Jill and Derick"s village and essentially using them as props for their television show.

Obviously, we have no way of knowing what motivated the Duggars to make the visit, but we hope they did something to improve the children"s living conditions while they were there.

Due to their upbringing, Jill and Jessa may think it"s perfectly normal to sleep 7 or 8 to a room.

But we"re guessing the kids in that orphanage would prefer a bit more space.

Check out the preview clip below, and watch Jill & Jessa Counting On online to get caught up in time for tomorrow"s episode.

 

 

Jill & Jessa Duggar: Exploiting Anna Duggar For Ratings?!

This Sunday’s episode of Jill & Jessa: Counting On will feature a moment that many who have been fascinated by the downfall of the Duggar family have been waiting for for months.

Anna Duggar will finally speak out on Josh Duggar’s many sexual indiscretions and reveal the reasoning behind her decision to stay with her philandering husband. TLC has already offered up a preview of the long-awaited interview:

Anna Duggar on Josh Duggar Sex Scandal: He Betrayed Me & ALL Christians!

Of course, Counting On is part of the Duggars’ campaign to rebuild their reputation and return to television on a permanent basis. (Jill and Jessa’s series is a limited three-week “event.”)

Anna’s candid discussion is sure to bring in major ratings for the family’s latest TV venture, which has led some to question Jill and Jessa’s motives in deciding to feature their sister-in-law on a series that’s supposed to be about their lives as newlyweds.

In a recent interview with Radar Online, Dillon King – the husband and Jill and Jessa’s cousin Amy Duggar – revealed that he believes the Duggars are “using” Anna in order to score 

“It looks like they are using all the emotion for ratings,” King told the website. “It’s just not right.”

Obviously, the fact that Anna’s first comments on the scandal would translate to a major ratings bonanza crossed the minds of Jill and Jessa’s producers, but the question of whether or not this amounts to exploitation is a complicated one.

Hey, after all Josh Duggar has done to his family, aren’t they entitled to use his misdeeds as a means of rebuilding their careers?
