Kailyn Lowry vs. Briana DeJesus Fight Details: What REALLY Happened at the Teen Mom 2 Reunion?
At this point, you"re probably aware that Kailyn Lowry and Briana DeJesus "fought" at the taping of this year"s Teen Mom 2 reunion show.
Now, as another season comes to an end and another reunion show approaches, new details are emerging about exactly what went down between the longtime rivals.
Did Kailyn and Briana really come to blows?
Was one of their castmates so disgusted by the escalating violence that she threatened to quit the show?
Is Bri"s sister really the ultimate attack dog?
Join as we answer these questions and more in our breakdown of this long-awaited title fight.
1. Kail on the Side
Sources say Kail had resolved to distance herself from the drama at the taping that took place back in May. Obviously, that was an unattainable goal.
2. Spilling the Tea
Kail opened up about the events of the reunion on a recent episode of her Coffee Convos podcast, and as you may have guessed, things got seriously ugly.
3. The Showdown
According to both reports from both women, Briana and Kailyn nearly came to blows on two separate occasions.
4. Backing Down
The first such occasion saw Kailyn approach Bri and threaten her. But when the time came to “throw hands,” as Bri puts it, Kailyn simply wasn’t up to the task of socking one of her co-stars in the face … or so DeJesus says.
5. Growing Up?
That’s a good thing, obviously, as violence that’s not in self-defense is generally something only crazy people resort to. Which is why producers keep Jenelle Evans around.
6. Round 2
The Second time they came face-to-face, Briana reportedly attacked Kailyn. And this time, there was no backing down …

The Bachelorette Recap: What Happened in Vegas?
The Bachelorette put a twist on an old saying this week.
What happened in Vegas between Becca Kufrin and her suitors did not stay in Vegas, after all.
It was broadcast to an entire country!
The highlight of the latest installment was most definitely the three-way date between Becca, David and Jordan, the latter two of whom saw their ongoing feud come to a loud, ugly and immature head.
This annoying pairing headed to a state park aptly called Valley of Fire with Becca, as David started talking smack about Jordan nearly as soon as the opening credits rolled.
He told the show’s star that Jordan was vocal about his interest in women (other women, of course) around the Las Vegas casinos and that the model thought he’d be settling if he endedup with Becca.
Jordan, of course, denied these accusations, going so far as to call David “worse than Arie,” the Bachelor who shattered her heart into a million pieces a few months ago.
Still, this alleged “settling” remark triggered Kufrin due to previous entanglement in the Arie Luyendyk Jr.–Lauren Burnham love triangle that ended with those two engaged…
… and Becca stuck as The Bachelorette, dealing with losers such as Jordan and David.
With these suitors continuing to go at it, Becca said she felt like she was “back in sixth grade” and she sent David home, explaining that Jordan was at least attempting to be open and honest.
As their now-one-on-one date continued, though, the only things he could talk about were himself, modeling and how Zoolander was “extremely accurate.”
Therefore, Becca sent Jordan home, too, prompting celebration from the other men.
Good riddance to those two… and hello to Wayne Newton!
The legendary singer crashed Becca’s group date to help the suitors write their own romantic lyrics to the tune of “Danke Schoen.”
Most of them bombed, of course, but Chris’ performance sort of impressed the audience and Becca.
He was confident and laidback during the afterparty, biding his time to talk to The Bachelorette herself, acting pretty much the total opposite of Jordan.
Elsewhere, Blake told Becca he was falling in love with her — and Becca echoed his sentiments to the camera.
So when Becca gave Blake the rose, Chris ended up “shook,” to use his expression.
Chris figured he was obviously being sent home and threatened to pack his bags and leave immediately, telling viewers that Becca would be making a big mistake if she let him go.
In other words, he no longer wanted to do the damn thing with her, not after this misguided slight.
At the cocktail party, Chris tried to steal time with Becca while she was talking to Wills… much to the latter’s disdain. This led to another spat between suitors.
Eventually, Becca sought out Chris for more one-on-one time later, where he assured her that he wanted to be there. He was just frustrated when he made his earlier comments.
Convinced pretty easily by him, Becca gave Chris a rose and told John to go home instead. We were surprised by this decision.
Finally, Colton and Becca went on a camel safari during their one-on-one date, talking openly about that silly Tia drama and what the concept of love meant to each of them.
Colton didn’t believe in saying this word lightly.
But then he went ahead and said the following in a subsequent confessional:
“I can confidently say I’m falling in love with Becca.”
Of course he is. It’s been, like, a whole five weeks after all.
Kufrin felt she and Colton were on the same page, although she didn’t drop any L Bombs, so she gave him a rose.
What will this mean going forward? You can jump to our section of The Bachelorette spoilers to find out.

Abby Lee Miller: I"m Still Locked Up! What Happened to Early Release?
Dance Moms fans know that Abby Lee Miller was supposed to be getting out of prison last month. And yet … the disgraced reality star is still behind bars.
Why? The answer is simple, but to Abby, it’s infuriating.
And apparently she’s not taking this delay of her early release well. In fact, she reportedly freaked out.
It had been reported that
Jennifer Myers, the same prison consultant and coach who worked with the Dance Moms star before she went to prison, explains why Abby Lee is still locked up while speaking to Entertainment Tonight.
“Basically, the prisons pay for the inmates to go to halfway houses.”
That’s an interesting system. But of course, any ethical warden wants those who are ready to readjust to living in the outside world to go ahead and do so as soon as possible.
“In the past, let’s say each warden had a budget for eight halfway house beds per month, they were often releasing 20 women to beds instead, because they wanted to help get them out.”
That’s very nice of them.
But apparently, Abby Lee’s delayed release — which was planned and all set up — is due to a shift in prison policy.
“But the director of Federal Bureau of Prisons, Mark Inch, started a crackdown on the budgets, and is making sure they don’t go over budget anymore.”
So, Abby’s early release was set up, but apparently it lacked the final stamp of approval.
“A warden has to approve a halfway house release.”
And Abby was all psyched up to go.
“Abby got her official out date, it was Feb. 20. She received that piece of paper that told her that and that she would be going to the halfway house in Van Nuys.”
But then it all went wrong.
“You have to make those plans in advance. But clearly, the prison went over budget so she could no longer be released.”
So … how did Abby get the bad news?
According to Jennifer Myers, this is how it went down:
“Abby just didn’t get out, that’s how she found out about it.”
Oh. That can’t have been good.
“It was a pretty upsetting thing for her over the weekend to not be able to talk to anybody and find out what was happening.”
That sounds maddening.
“It didn’t make any sense. She had her halfway house plan and they just weren’t communicating with her that it wasn’t happening anymore.”
Prisoners don’t have the freedom to go ask questions to the right people like everyone else can.
“She will get that new piece of paper and they will get her a bed and let’s see if it sticks.”
So at least they’re going to try again.
“It’s a waiting game right now for Abby. At this point they are trying to figure it out.”
It sounds like she’s not getting any special treatment for being a celebrity. Just a regular amount of help.
“They are submitting to get her a new out date and get her another bed, but it has to go through many different places in the Bureau of Prisons to even get that new out date.”
Star Magazine reports that Abby Lee Miller flipped out over her not-so-early release.
First, they gave a very short explanation for why she’s still in jail.
“They are actually holding Abby Lee later because there is no room at the halfway house she was set to go to.”
That’s a very terse way of skipping around the new policy issues.
“But it’s nothing against Abby personally. It is something that is happening everywhere.”
Then they get into the way that Abby has responded.
“Abby is furious! She feels like she is being targeted.”
Sometimes, stars get special treatment. Sometimes, however, they get turned into an example. Remember what happened to Martha Stewart.
“Abby had a nuclear meltdown over this. She had her bags packed, so to speak. She was ready to go.”
That must have been incredibly disappointing for her.
Still, Abby Lee Miller will be out of prison and reducing girls to tears again before you know it.
Well … she’ll be out of prison soon, anyway. Her sentence is only for 366 days, and since they were preparing for her to leave prison before that was even half over, it seems likely that she’ll be free soon.
She’ll look pretty different when she comes out, as she’s reportedly lost 100 pounds following gastric surgery last spring that reduced her stomach size significantly.
But … will she be a different person when she’s free, or will she have learned nothing from this?
Only time will tell.

Mechie on Blac Chyna Sex Tape: Okay, So THIS is What Happened...
Are you ready to get to know the man behind the penis?
In an interview with The Shade Room late this week, random rapper Mechie talks about his relationship with Blac Chyna – and, specifically, how he ended up holding a camera while the reality star performed oral sex on him.
“Basically, we were at the club and she’s like we need to link up so we did and then that’s what lead to the video happening,” Mechie says simply.
He makes it sound like this is routine:
You meet someone out. You go home with this person. You grab her cellphone and record a BJ.
While we can’t vouch for the validity of the way Mechie describes meeting Chyna and arranging their sex tape, there’s no debate over whether or not a sex tape exists between the pair.
The footage lasts for about a minute and 23 seconds and it features Chyna lying on her back in bed, her partner’s genitalia going in and out of her mouth.
A bit of dirty talk is also exchanged.
This is what folks on the Internet had to say about the leaked video:
A day after the footage went viral, a rep for Mechie confirmed that the artist is the one holding the camera.
However, this same rep denied talk that Mechie is responsible for releasing the video the public, claiming he used Chyna’s cellphone to record it and that she has always had the only copy.
(Chyna, meanwhile, also denies the leak, prompting us to believe that someone is lying.)
Mechie dated Chyna for a few weeks in the summer of 2016.
There are photos of the stars kissing on social media (above and below)… and it was actually a video Chyna sent to ex-fiance Rob Kardashian of her and Mechie in bed that led to him firing off a bunch of revenge porn-type messages.
“She left Rob the year before we met back in December,” Mechie explained to The Shade Room, adding:
“She was not with Rob when we linked up. She had the baby and had already moved out and dipped off from him.”
Mechie says here that Rob is a “nice guy” and that his fling with Chyna ended last August.
“To be completely honest, it just got to a point where the so called hype and fame of the relationship was starting to get out of hands and overshadow what I had going on with my music and my brand,” he says.
“It was getting in the way of what I had going on.”
It remains unclear just what Mechie has going on outside of lewd photos and videos with Chyna, but whatever.
In conclusion, he has the following to say about his time in and around Chyna:
It helped me get more fans and followers around the world but it also hurt me because it tied me to her brand and a lot of people didn’t want to deal with a messy situation and she’s got a messy situation.
I have my own label and I lost investors and sponsorship deals because I was tied to her. You gain and lose.
Chyna has said she plans to file a police report in order to determine who released this sex tape.
She is willing to cooperate fully with the authorities.
We’ll soon see if Mechie is willing to do the same.

Tamar Braxton Opens Up on The View: WTH Happened with Vince?
Tamar Braxton kept it real this week on The View.
The former talk show host and recording artist took the unusual step of serving as a guest panelist on the program, touching not only on her failed marriage in the process…
… but doing it with her estranged husband sitting right along side her!
As a quick refresher, Braxton and Vince Hebert called it quits in October after nine years as husband and wife.
About two months later, rumors surfaced that Hebert has knocked up his mistress, something Braxton herself appeared to cite on Instagram when she said Hebert was "having a baby" with his "whore."
Pretty hard to misinterpret that, right?
Except that Tamar said on The View that this wasn"t the case.
"In this situation, I absolutely have no reason to lie about my marriage for ratings," she told her fellow hosts early on, adding:
"I think that"s disgusting and I would never sell my soul to the devil like that."
Well, okay.
But what about that "a bun in the oven of some other woman," as Joy Behar asked Vince himself.
"Absolutely not," he replied.
"And all the other allegations are not true, I"m just not that kind of person. I love this lady with all my heart. I will never stop fighting with my family and make it great."
Then… what about everything Braxton wrote on social media (below)?
What the heck was that about?!?
"Let me just address the meltdown," she replied, expounding as follows:
"That was my fault that I put myself in a position where I opened up the floor for people to give their opinions on my marriage and I have to take responsibility for that.
"I do air my dirty laundry, however I"ve never been that specific. I should have been specific enough to say this is what my so-called friends were saying."
If you"re confused by all of this… you are not alone.
Watch the video below to try and decipher what Tamar and Vince are saying:

Tonya Harding: I Knew About the Nancy Kerrigan Attack Before It Happened
Tonya Harding is back in the news, and if you’re Nancy Kerrigan or any other human being with a sense of decency, you probably have very mixed feelings about that.
For the sake of our younger readers, we’d like to take a moment to explain why Harding is … well, not quite the OJ of the figure skating world.
She’s more like Tom Brady, if instead of ordering his equipment managers to deflate game balls, he had them bludgeon the other team’s quarterback.
Just weeks before the 1994 Winter Olympics, Harding’s biggest rival, Nancy Kerrigan, was clubbed on the knee in an attack that initially looked as though it would eliminate her from competition.
It was later revealed that Kerrigan’s attacker, Shane Stant, had been hired by her bodyguard, Shawk Eckhardt, and her ex-husband, Jeff Gilooly to carry out the assault.
Harding claimed the whole thing happened without her knowledge or approval, but she later pled guilty on several felony charges, striking a deal with prosecutors that allowed her to avoid jail time.
These days, Kerrigan is very much back in the news, thanks to I, Tonya the acclaimed, award-nominated film in which Margot Robbie portrays the disgraced ice queen with tremendous humor and compassion.
Biopics about scandalous figures are nothing new, but seldom have we seen an anti-hero treated with such admiration as Harding.
These days, Harding is being feted and celebrated across the media landscape.
She worked the red carpet alongside Margot Robbie at the 2018 Golden Globes, and she’s the subject of a popular new ABC News special that premiered this week.
Mostly, the doc just re-hashes the facts of the case and brings viewers up to date on what Harding has been up to in the decades since her name became synonymous with public disgrace.
But it occasionally sheds some new light on both the Kerrigan incident and Harding’s undeniable involvement with it.
The biggest bombshell, of course, is Harding’s admission–after decades of staunch denial–that she was aware that her ex and her bodyguard were planning something criminal.
Asked whether or not she had any role in planning the attack, Harding replied:
“No. I did, however, overhear them talking about stuff. ‘Well, maybe we should take somebody out so we can make sure [Harding] gets on the team.’
“And I remember telling them, I go, ‘What the hell are you talking about? I can skate.’”
If you’re thinking Harding could’ve done a hell of a lot more to make sure no one was “taken out” on her behalf, then you’re absolutely right.
Journalist Connie Chung, who previously interviewed Harding was stunned when told about the former skater’s admission:
“Unbelievable,” Chung remarked. “I can’t believe that she said that.”
Neither can we, Connie. Neither can we.
Memo to Margot Robbie: Maybe find a different date for the Oscars? Please?
Ray Liotta didn’t bring trot out Henry Hill on the red carpet, ya know.
(That’s a Goodfellas reference for all you under-30s out there.)

Catelynn Lowell Checks into Rehab AGAIN: What Happened?!
Catelynn Lowell"s story just keeps getting sadder and sadder — which is saying a lot, if you know how her story began.
From placing her daughter up for adoption to dealing with emotionally abusive addict parents, she and her longtime love, Tyler Baltierra, have been through a lot together.
And it looks like she"s finally getting started on working through all those hard times — she"s already back in rehab for a third time.
If you"re a little confused, don"t worry. It"s a confusing story.
So let"s get to it …
1. Hard Times
Catelynn has always struggled with depression and anxiety, but she also suffered from postpartum depression after giving birth to her daughter Nova. Things got so bad that in March of 2016, she checked into a treatment center for the first time.
2. Realizations
As we saw on Teen Mom OG, her issues became too much for her after purchasing a pet pig on a whim. After bringing it home, she realized how much care he needed, and it proved to be a little too much for her in her current state. The next day, she told an MTV producer that “I just feel like I need help. ‘Cause I wasn’t really feeling good this morning, and I was having a little bit of anxiety last night …I just broke down and I was like, ‘You know what, I’m not OK … I do need mental help, something’s just not right."”
3. Off to Rehab
So she went off to a facility in Arizona to get that help — as she explained in an interview after her treatment was finished, “I went for just mental illness, panic attacks and depression and I was there for 30 days. It went well, they taught me lots of different things, I learned lots of good things.”
4. More Hard Times
Unfortunately, even after coming home from rehab she still struggled a lot with her depression. As we saw on the show, she went back to barely being able to get out of bed some days, and it really put a strain on her marriage.
5. Looking Up!
At some point this year though, things seemed like they were going better for Catelynn. She and Tyler appeared to be more in love than ever, and they even started talking about having another child!
6. Not So Fast …
That brief upswing was why it was so surprising last month when she announced that she’d be heading off to rehab for a second time.

Wendy Williams: COLLAPSED on Live Television. What Happened?!
It"s a rare thing for a live television show to have to cut to commercial without warning. It"s rarer still for it to be because of the show"s host.
But no one could have foreseen that Wendy Williams would suddenly collapse on live television.
Wendy Williams claims that she"s now okay, but … as you"ll see in the video below, this was a scary incident.
Not even 50 Cent would wish this upon Wendy Williams. Probably.
In the video that you will see below, Wendy Williams is giving her normal Halloween broadcast.
Dressed as the Statue of Liberty, the often controversial talk show host is talking about her annual Halloween costume contest that the show does every year.
Her voice is a little shaky and her eyes seem strikingly wide … but, no shade, that"s not especially unusual for Wendy Williams.
But then it all goes horribly wrong.
Wendy Williams certainly means to say "our first guest."
Instead, she says "our first caress." And no, we don"t think that it was a Freudian slip brought about by lustful thoughts about one of the cameramen or whatever.
(That would be salacious and wonderful but a lot less scary)
See how wide her eyes looked — how frightened she looks in that above photo?
That"s right after she says the word "caress."
Either she wasn"t able to speak anymore, even to call for help, or she was too distracted and horrified by whatever was happening to her mind and body in that moment.
Visibly horrified, Wendy Williams stumbles backwards, her feet shuffling just a few steps.
One trembling hand reaches feebly for her head — to indicate that something was wrong with her head, or perhaps trying to tug off her hat or wig?
We don"t know. Maybe not even Wendy can say for sure.
Then she collapses.
Wendy Williams" crew rush forward while screams can be heard from the shocked audience.
And the camera cuts.
Wendy Williams comes back after the break to say that she had simply overheated in her costume and passed out as a result.
At first, many thought that this was a stroke. Honestly … strokes can take a lot of forms, and not everyone is convinced that this was a simple fainting spell.
The scrambled words and the suddenness of it all … well, that"s alarming.
It is Halloween. Maybe a bunch of ghosts didn"t think that Wendy Williams" apologies that she inevitably makes after blaming victims are truly heartfelt.
She was also dressed as the Statue of Liberty, making this into an involuntary political statement about the Trump Administration.
Whatever happens, though, we hope that Wendy Williams is okay.
We respect her decision to go back on the air (gotta capitalize on those ratings, folks!), but we hope that she spends some serious time with medical professionals later today.

Siesta Key Season 1 Episode 10 Recap: What Happened to Alex Kompothecras?
Summer comes to an end, but that does not mean the drama does on Siesta Key.
On Siesta Key Season 1 Episode 10, some storylines were forgotten entirely.
Alex was back to his scheming ways and concluded that he and Kelsey had nothing in common. This was hands down the most mature thing he has ever done.
He wanted Madisson back, and it just seemed like a forced way to wrap the storylines up and come back with a fresh start.
Oh yes, Siesta Key will be back in the Winter, you guys!
Anyway.
Madisson revealed she was done with Alex because he had treated her like crap one too many times. It was about time. Seriously, you guys, this storyline was complete and utter garbage.
Madisson is moving on with Brandon, and there’s no telling whether they are even the real deal, either. That’s the issue with reality TV. You never know what’s real.
For now, Madisson and Brandon are more together than ever, but will a mysterious job offer change her stance on the relationship? That remains to be seen.
The big event of the episode was Alex’s July 4th party bash. It was fitting that the season kicked off with one of his wild parties, and it ended with one.
Paul’s apology to Chloe last week was completely fake, and she even knew that when he tried to do the same thing again. He’s the least genuine person on reality TV.
Chloe did not accept his apology, so he later called her a whale. That was the moment Chloe decided that she was done with the horrible group of individuals and made her way home.
Will she return for Season 2? We have no idea, but she’s the best person on this toxic cast.
Maybe she should move over to a less toxic series with friends who actually care for her.
The party also gave Kelsey and Garrett time to chat about the end of their relationship. They were surprisingly decent with one another, and Juliette got very jealous.
It sounds like Kelsey is getting the last laugh because Garrett did ask about the pair possibly getting back together.
Would they even work with one another? We’re not so sure, but it would be fun to watch.
In a post-credits scene, Alex called Madisson and it sure looks like was in a car crash or something. Will this be the thing that drives them back together?
That will be the bigger question as we await the new episodes of the series which MTV is calling a hit.
Over to you! What did you think of the conclusion?
Was it worthwhile?
Sound off below.

Kate Walsh: I Had a Brain Tumor. This is What Happened.
Kate Walsh has opened up about a topic both personal and frightening:
She was recently diagnosed with a brain tumor.
The actress – who rose to fame as Addison Montgomery on Grey’s Anatomy and who then starred on the spinoff Private Practice and who also plays a key role on Netflix’s 13 Reasons Why – divulged this scary tidbit to to Cosmpolitan.
She told the magazine that she went to see a doctor after experiencing serious bouts of exhaustion, while she was simultaneous struggling to finish sentences and had difficulty working out.
“My pilates instructor said ‘hey, your right side is dipping,’ and it didn’t feel like I was off, but I looked down and could see it. Then when I was driving, I started swerving into the right lane,” Walsh told Cosmopolitan.
She continued:
“The exhaustion got to the point where I could drink five cups of coffee and still not feel awake or clear.
“And then around April, I started having more cognitive difficulties.
“It felt like aphasia, but it wasn’t just not being able to find words; I would lose my train of thought, I wasn’t able to finish sentences, and that was when I got really alarmed.”
This all took place in early 2015.
Upon visiting with a neurologist, Walsh received her diagnosis.
“The words ‘brain tumor’ were never in my zeitgeist,” she said, explaining her shock at the time and adding:
“I went in for the MRI, and you know it’s serious when they don’t even wait, they’re like ‘hey, the radiologist wants to see you.’ And she starts to say, ‘Well, it looks like you have a very sizable brain tumor’ – and I just left my body.
“My assistant had driven me there, and I had to go get him so that he could take notes, because I was gone.
“It was never anything I would have imagined.”
Three days after learning about the tumor, Walsh underwent surgery for its removal.
During her road to recovery, Walsh took nine months off, referring to the diagnosis was a “wake-up call.”
“Those cliche, existential things do happen when you have a brain tumor, like, ‘How do I really want to spend my time?’” she said to the magazine.
“I want to be with my friends and family and work on projects that are hugely important to me, and fun, and that make a cultural contribution.
“But my health comes first, and I’ve had to change my lifestyle.”
Appearing on The View on Monday morning, Walsh said she chose to speak out now as part of her partnership with Cigna’s campaign about preventative care.
“It was a perfect opportunity to really emphasize the importance of advocating for your own health, particularly women,” she explained.
The former Grey’s Anatomy regular appears in a new doctor-themed ad with her former colleague, Patrick Dempsey, along with other actors who famously played doctors, such as Neil Patrick Harris.
“We had such a blast,” Walsh says of the campaign. “It was so fun for me to be reunited with Patrick.”
We’re just so glad to hear that Walsh had this potentially major problem diagnosed early and taken care of quickly.
We wish her the best.
