Danielle Staub Accused of "Financial & Emotional Abuse" by Husband
You may not believe this.
We hope you are sitting down for this.
Okay, here we go…
Danielle Staub – the former full-time Real Housewives of New Jersey cast member known for having a sex tape and screaming at Teresa Giudice and sort of being a criminal coke whore – is involved in more drama.
This time, the drama, involves Marty Caffrey, Staub"s husband of two months.
Who may not be her husband for very much longer.
Scroll down to discover ALL the ways in which he takes some issue with his controversial wife:
1. Wait, Danielle Staub is Married?
Yes! She tied the knot with Marty on May 5 in the Bahamian island of Bimin. Teresa Giudice and Margaret Josephs were Matrons of Honor, while Melissa Gorga served as bridesmaid.
2. Such a Happy Bride
“There’s just not a better feeling in the world,” Staub told People Magazine after she exchanged these vows. “I’m still crying over it… it was beautiful.”
3. So, Where Did It Go Wrong?
Umm….everywhere? In a three-page statement submitted to Radar Online, Marty said he has suffered “financial, verbal and emotional abuse” from his “arrogant, disrespectful, presumptuous and entitled” wife. After mere months of marriage!
4. A Not Very Happy Birthday
“Her birthday party was the tipping point,” Marty tells Radar of a mid-July 2018 celebration. “I was left completely in the dark. I wasn’t allowed to know who was invited. My family and friends were left out until the last minute only because I kept pressing the issue. There was no intention of including my family or friends.”
5. Tell Us More, Marty…
“I was expected to pay for it. Which I refused to do,” he says of this party, rattling on about Staub: “This arrogant, disrespectful, presumptuous and entitled attitude I find disturbing. All of this is why I did not attend. You want to throw a self-indulgence, attention seeking party for yourselves, want me to pay for it, but I’m not allowed to know anything about it or to ask any questions? What world do you live in?”
6. The World of Danielle Staub?
Did Marty never see the way she acted throughout her run on The Real Housewives of New Jersey? The answer is actually no, Marty says. He was unfamiliar with that part of her life when he married her.

Josh Duggar: Messing Up at Work as Financial Problems Worsen
Back in May of 2015, when it was revealed that Josh Duggar had molested five young girls (four of whom were his sisters), many hoped the outwardly wholesome hypocrite would be locked up.
Unfortunately, Josh was saved by the same statute of limitation laws that have kept Bill Cosby a free man.
But to paraphrase our favorite Duggar-exposing Facebook page, Josh’s life hasn’t been all pickles and hairspray these past two years.
Recent reports indicate that Josh is depressed, frequently unkempt, and struggling desperately in his finances.
Insiders claim that Josh has been forced to move back in with his parents, and that mother Michelle and sister Jana Duggar are basically raising his kids as he and wife Anna work to repair their battered marriage.
And now, Josh has been forced to do something to do something that’s been virtually unheard of in the Duggar family for the past decade.
That’s right – Josh had to get a real job.
And we say “real job,” we don’t mean as a reality star, or a celebrity lobbyist, or any of the other BS titles Josh has held over the years.
No, Josh is selling cars these days, and according to Radar Online he’s not doing well in his new profession.
“He’s selling cars and he’s not doing very well with it,” an insider tells the site.
“He and Anna are struggling financially big time.”
Yes, it seems that despite his lobbying background, Josh isn’t much of a salesman.
If we had to guess, we’d say it might have something to do with all those pesky Josh Duggar sex scandals.
Anyway, sources say Josh is pretty much hanging on to his job by a thread these days following a colossal on-the-job error that led to local police getting involved.
According to Radar, Josh let a “customer” take a Toyota MR2 for a test drive – and the guy never came back.
“He lets this guy test drive one of his cars and forgot to take down the guy’s driver’s license,” says one insider.
“The guy drove away with the car and never returned! He just stole it!”
Pretty boneheaded move, but believe it or not – it gets worse.
Police looked into the matter and found out that before stealing the car, the thief sold a handgun to an employee who woks under Josh.
Not surprisingly, the gun was used in an aggravated assault earlier that day.
The guy also showed up on the lot in a Dodge Ram that had been reported stolen, which means Josh handed the keys over to a dude who was basically draped in red flags.
We’re guessing old Joshy is missing the cushy life of a reality star these days.
Watch Counting On online to see if you can spot the scenes the sexual predator has been edited out of.

Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar: Divorcing Due to Financial Issues?!
It’s been almost 18 months since news of the Josh Duggar sex scandals first went public, and the family of the disgraced former lobbyist is still feeling the fallout.
All this week, rumors that Anna Duggar is planning to divorce Josh have been circulating on social media.
Now, it seems another Duggar couple may be headed for Splitsville, and sources say the trouble in their marriage is also the result of Josh’s misdeeds:
We’ve heard reports of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar getting divorced before, but this time, there’s a new wrinkle to the rumors.
According to In Touch, the Duggars took a major financial hit as a result of Josh’s scandals and sex crimes.
The tabloid claims that the family’s deal for their second reality series – Counting On, now in its second season – has them getting paid a fraction of what they were receiving for 19 Kids and Counting.
Worse, their other businesses have struggled as a result of the family’s badly damaged reputation, and there have been frequent rumors of Counting On being canceled due to declining ratings and advertisers cutting ties with the network.
It seems major corporations don’t like being tied to families that admitted to sheltering a child molester.
Who would have thought?!
Sources say the main issue is that Michelle is aware that the family is close to losing everything, including their beloved “Duggar Compound.”
Jim Bob, on the other hand, reportedly refuses to acknowledge his money troubles or do what it takes to pull his family back from the brink of poverty.
Jim Bob is said to still be putting all his eggs in the Counting On basket, but if ratings don’t improve dramatically in the very near future, it seems those hopes will soon be shattered.
Insiders claim he was hoping from a major boost from the Jinger Duggar-Jeremy Vuolo courtship, but the viewership spike never quite materialized.
Jinger and Jeremy got married over the weekend, and the wedding was filmed for TLC, but it remains unclear if the family’s show will be picked up for a full third season.
Currently, it seems TLC is planning a wedding-centric miniseries that will conclude with the nuptials.
It would bring a decent-sized paycheck for the Duggars.
But it would also bring an end to their dreams of reality stardom – and possibly to Jim Bob and Michelle’s marriage.

Amber Portwood: Still Having Financial Problems?
Amber Portwood has had a tough year.
Just a few months ago, it was revealed that the Teen Mom OG star owes more than $ 130,000 in taxes.
That’s a huge sum of money for someone who gets a six figure salary for her work on Teen Mom OG. Right?!
You’d think that the star would be in a better financial state.
Might it be all those baby mamas coming out of the woodwork to expose Matt Baier that’s taken a hit on her bank balance?
Either way you look at it, Portwood is in a very tough spot.
She still owes over $ 130,000 in taxes, so with the figure still standing, it’s clear there’s something seriously going on with her finances.
If she had the money to at least start paying the debt, the outstanding balance would be getting slimmer, but that doesn’t seem to be the case.
Considering how often Portwood is in the public eye, this isn’t the type of news she would want floating around about herself.
There’s a good chance if she did have money, she would be paying off the balance.
It sure sounds like she doesn’t have it and her problems probably won’t be going anywhere anytime soon.
There’s also word on the street that Amber had a miscarriage due to substance abuse.
We have no idea whatsoever if that’s true yet, but it’s not like Amber to keep quiet about her personal life.
Perhaps MTV have offered her a cash bonus to keep it quiet until it’s shown on the series?
That wouldn’t be all that surprising.
Just look at Teen Mom 2 stars Kailyn Lowry and Javi Marroquin. They were apart for months, but managed to keep it quiet.
Amber will next be seen on Teen Mom OG season 6, which debuts August 22 on MTV.
What do you think about all of this?

Michelle Duggar: Criticized For Spending During Family Financial Crisis
Earlier today, we reported that a friend of the Duggar family is claiming that Michelle was so distraught in the weeks following the sex scandals that shattered her family’s reputation that she “mourned” her son Josh as though he were dead.
Obviously, Michelle was mainly angry about Josh’s sexual misconduct, but like the rest of the family, she’s reportedly also upset by the fact that the 28-year-old cost his parents and siblings their livelihood, as the reality show that made them famous was canceled as a result of his actions.
With 19 Kids and Counting a distant memory, some of the Duggar siblings have returned to television with Jill and Jessa: Counting On, which recently kicked off its first full season on TLC.
Unfortunately for Jim Bob and Michelle, the show doesn’t pay as much as 19 Kids did, and the cash goes entirely to the Duggar children, not their parents.
Obviously, the parents receive some financial assistance from their kids, but they’re reportedly still struggling.
Now Star magazine is reporting that Michelle Duggar has been spending wildly in recent months, and drawing criticism from fans as a result.
The tabloid claims Michelle was spotted on a shopping spree with daughter Jennifer Duggar earlier this week, and fans have had some harsh words for the matriarch on social media.
Part of the problem is that the Duggars asked for donations in the months after Josh’s scandal, and now it seems that they’re having no trouble supporting their many children.
While Jim Bob is a successful businessman in his tiny hometown, many are wondering how the couple is getting by without the reality TV income they’ve admitted to relying on.
And if they’re no longer struggling – why haven’t they returned the funds donated by fans, or at least passed them on to a worthy charity?
Watch Jill & Jessa: Counting On online to see how the next generation of Duggars is moving on.

Tori Spelling: Spotted on Shopping Spree as Financial Woes Mount
Back in January we learned that Tori Spelling is broke.
Unlike other celebs who have declared bankruptcy but continued to live the high life, Spelling’s situation seemed genuinely dire, as she and husband Dean McDermott were forced to sell their home in posh Calabasas and move into a rental home in middle-class Encino.
Now, however, it seems that either the couple has magically recovered or Tori has simply stopped caring, as the troubled actress was spotted indulging in a shopping spree in Los Angeles yesterday.
“Whenever things get very stressful for Tori, she either goes shopping or moves,” an insider tells Radar Online.
As the daughter of famed television producer Aaron Spelling, Tori was born into a life of great privilege, but the actress has been forced to majorly tighten her belt in recent years.
Acting jobs have dried up, forcing Tori to accept an embarrassing endorsement deal that has her shilling for a psychic hotline in a series of TV commercials.
Her mother, Candy Spelling, has stated that she helps out financially from time to time, but refuses on principle to bail her daughter and son-in-law out of debt.
“The entire situation is just very sad because Tori wants to be working, but there just isn’t a lot being offered to her,” says the source.
“Tori is very impulsive and the reason the family is in such a bad financial situation because of the bad deals made from the sale of their past houses.”
Needless to say, it’s not an ideal time for Tori to be hitting up her favorite stores.
Unless, of course, she’s picking up job applications.

Tori Spelling: Hospitalized For Stress Amidst Growing Financial Crisis
As we reported last month, Tori Spelling is broke.
It’s important to note that Tori and her equally chronically unemployed husband, Dean McDermott, aren’t Hollywood broke; they’re flat-out, coupon-clipping, regular folk broke.
Tori has resorted to shilling for a psychic hotline in order to pay the bills, but apparently she and Dean are still unable to keep their heads above water.
The couple and their four kids (plus Dean’s son from his first marriage) recently made a major real estate downgrade, selling their mansion in posh Calabasas, CA and moving into a rental property in middle-class Encino.
Now, it seems the stress from her ever-worsening financial situation is beginning to take a toll on Tori’s health.
According to Radar Online, Spelling was hospitalized over the weekend after complaining of intense migraines and other stress-related symptoms.
There’s no word on how long Tori was in the hospital, but she must have at least been kept overnight for observation, as Dean and the kids were spotted paying her an early-morning visit.
Sadly, the family has been in this situation many times before.
Tori was hospitalized three times in 2015, and friends say her latest unsuccessful search for work has pushed her over the edge.
“The entire situation is just very sad because Tori wants to be working, but there just isn’t a lot being offered to her,” says one insider.
Here’s hoping Tori and Dean can both find gigs that don’t involve airing their family’s dirty laundry for a horrified audience.

Tori Spelling & Dean McDermott Downgrade to Rental Home Amidst Growing Financial Concerns
As we reported last week, Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott are broke.
And we don’t mean “my masseuse only comes twice a week now” Hollywood broke – we mean coupon-clipping, mortgage payment missing, Wonder Bread French toast for dinner broke.
The couple’s financial woes came to light last week when it was revealed that Tori was being sued by American Express for allegedly failing to pay her bill for the past eight months.
Court documents filed by the credit card giant revealed that Tori wrote them a check for $ 1,000 over the summer, but it bounced.
The suit had led to a number of embarrassing revelations about Spelling and McDermott’s finances, including the paltry amount that Tori was paid for her latest acting work.
Sources say Tori and Dean may file for bankruptcy, and they’ve already parted ways with some of the pricier status symbols that Tori acquired during more prosperous times.
But before you take pity on the Spelling-McDermott’s, remember that they have a safety net most people would kill for in the form of Tori’s wealthy mother, Candy.
Candy recently revealed that she’s paying for Tori’s essentials, but refuses to help her live the luxurious lifestyle she’s accustomed to, in hopes of teaching her a lesson about money management.
“I’m paying all her bills now. I’m not paying extras like that, I’m not paying any back payments,” she told TMZ. “Just for the house and the kids’ school and the food.”
Of course, everything is relative, and the 3,900 square foot rental home complete with a pool and gym area that Tori and her family recently moved into (on Candy’s dime) would seem like the height of opulence for some.
Candy is reportedly shelling out $ 7,500/month for the five-bedroom house in Encino, but that doesn’t mean Tori and Dean are pleased with the situation.
The home they recently parted ways with in posh Calabasas (home to the Kardashians and other A-list clans) was nearly twice the size, and going from a trendy, upscale neighborhood to an area that’s best known for inspiring a Pauly Shore movie is probably more than a little embarrassing for the very status-conscious Tori.
Here’s hoping she can save up enough to get AmEx on her back before she starts trying to ckaw her way back to the top of the real estate heap.

Tori Spelling: Tiny Paychecks, Desperate Financial Measures Revealed!
Earlier this week, we reported that Tori Spelling is being sued by American Express for racking up $ 38,000 in debt and making no effort to pay it off.
Insiders say the suit may force Spelling to file for bankruptcy, as she and husband Dean McDermott haven’t had any steady income in months, and the AmEx bill is just the tip of their debt iceberg.
Now, it looks as though the situation may be worse than anyone realized, as the McDermotts are completely broke, and even when one of them does find work, it doesn’t nearly enough to help them chip away at the massive amount they owe.
According to Radar Online, Tori was recently cast in a remake of her 1996 made-for-TV movie Mother May I Sleep With Danger.
Unfortunately, her paycheck is a fraction of what she used to make at the height of her career:
“She is happy to just be getting a paycheck,” said a source. “It’s not huge money, but it’s better than nothing.
“For most families, a $ 10,000 paycheck for just a few weeks’ worth of work would be huge. But it’s not for Tori. She can easily drop $ 1,000 at one toy store or department store.”
The insider adds that McDermott is now forcing Tori to break her hoarding habit and sell off some of her pricier possessions:
“Dean is putting down his foot and telling Tori she must sell off all off their junk that has accumulated over the years,” says the source.
“There are more than three huge storage lockers piled to the top, and the rental fees are $ 1,000-$ 4,000 a month.”
Tori has spoken in the past about her reluctance to sell her things, but she may not have any other choice.
In the past, the couple has turned to her mother for help, but Candy Spelling has already said she won’t help with the AmEx suit.
It’s unclear exactly how destitute the McDermotts are, but according to the lawsuit, Tori bounced a $ 1,000 check back in June.
So yeah, it’s not good.

Amber Rose Gives TERRIBLE Financial Advice
There are lessons to be learned from the past, according to Amber Rose.
“I feel like I’m in a position to give advice to women because I’ve made all of these mistakes,” Rose tells Time Magazine of her book, How to Be A Bad Bitch.
“I am a mogul. I have a bunch of businesses, I’m now an actress, I’m an author, I went on an entire world tour and I don’t even sing. So if that doesn’t tell you that I am an entrepreneur, then I don’t know what does.”
One of Rose’s lessons learned happened when it came time to file her 2011 taxes.
“One of the biggest financial mistakes that I ever made was making a lot of money—I wanna say I made $ 1 million in 2011—and I spent all of it,” she recalled. “And then after that, I had to pay taxes, and I did not have money for the taxes, and I was like, ‘I cannot believe I did this.’
“And I really had to start over … I know a whole lot of people that don’t pay taxes. And it comes back to bite you in the ass. Trust me.
“So I did pay all my taxes off, and I feel amazing now, but it took a lot of hard work.”
Rose has advice for women who want to reach financial success and achieve their goals, and they’re…unorthodox.
“Being a dancer definitely was like being in business school, because I constantly spoke to people. I mean, I literally had to persuade a man to give me money out of his pocket. And I apply that to my daily life.
“Even getting a book, you have to have an initial meeting—Hi, Simon and Schuster!—with the publisher, and you have to sell yourself.”
““Really, fully research every aspect of the business that you’re trying to get into,” Rose says. “Explain to your friends that you won’t always be able to hit the club with them when you’re trying to save money.
“If they’re your friends, they’ll respect it.”
If they keep haunting you, this will shut them up right quick:
“Tell them that you’re trying to save up for whatever it may be, and if they want you to come out with them then it has to be their treat.”
The phone will go silent after that. Trust me. Then you’ll have all the time in the world to focus on your dreams.
I have not found success with this next tip. To be fair, I never though to try it.
“As women, we’re fortunate enough to use our seductive skills in order to be able to get money from our significant others,” Rose explains. “I also talk about seduction in the book. A lot of women don’t know how to seduce a man.
Go on…
“It is extremely easy once you get to that point, and you can get anything you want out of them,” Rose said. “And I know it might sound messed up, but once you get to that point, it’s not using.
“It’s not using a man, it’s literally getting what you want by any means necessary.”
Do you spend that money right away? Do you save up for a house? Where does the seduction money go, Amber Rose?
Some weren’t pleased with the model’s advice, and made their feelings known via Twitter. Unfortunately, Rose didn’t care.
“Lol y’all are so Corny So it’s wrong to ask ur “Significant other” (The person u care about) to help u financially so u can reach ur goal?”
I have so many questions that will go unanswered.

Tyga"s Financial Woes Continue As The State Of California Comes After The Rapper For THOUSANDS In Back Taxes! Yikes!
Say it ain’t so!
The financial hits just keep coming for Tyga this year.
On Monday, it was revealed that Kylie Jenner‘s boyfriend owes the state of California $ 19,000 in back taxes for the years 2009, 2010, and 2011. Yikes!
Related: Kylie Gets Candid About Her Relationship With Plastic Surgery
It’s said that the state’s even put a tax lien on the Rack City rapper. Merp.
As we previously reported, this isn’t the only monetary hiccup Blac Chyna‘s ex is currently in the middle of. T-Raww’s duking it out with his landlord who accuses him of owing $ 70,000 in unpaid rent. Well that’s not gonna help his credit score!
However, the reality TV star claims in a separate lawsuit that he’s already paid $ 200,000 toward the purchase of the $ 8 million Calabasas home that he’s renting from the complaint.
Bummer.
Conveniently, the property in question is located near his lady love’s $ 2.7 million dollar mansion. Well then, we can now understand why he’s so stubborn about this residence — HA!
Despite the reports surrounding his money drama, Tyga was still able to shell out $ 320,000 for a Ferrari for the KUWTK celeb’s 18th birthday. Hmm, very inneresting.
Though we do have a feeling that the up-and-comer has a handle on his money, mainly cuz we doubt Kris Jenner would approve of a hot mess express dating her youngest daughter. WE KID.
Tyga, know that we’re thinking of you during this trying time. Just try to not to get evicted!
