Kody Brown: Sister Wives Star Facing JAIL TIME After Crushing Legal Defeat?!

It probably wasn’t a good idea for Kody Brown and his four wives to venture into the world of reality television.

Sure, it brought them fame and fortune, but it also brought them the attention of Utah law enforcement officials, who launched an investigation into the Browns’ polygamous lifestyle not long after the first episode of Sister Wives aired back in 2010.

The Browns have avoided prosecution thus far, in part by relocating to Nevada.

In 2011, the family filed a lawsuit claiming that Utah’s laws against polygamy were a violation of their constitutional rights.

Today, however, that suit was rejected by the Tenth Circuit Court, a move that could have devastating legal consequences for the Browns.

Interestingly, the Browns have yet to be charged with a crime, despite more than 100 hours of televised evidence.

This despite a recent statement from Utah State Police confirming that an investigation into the Browns possible criminal activities began “the day after the first episode aired.”

It’s possible that the DA didn’t want to go ahead with the charges due to the unclear nature of the state’s anti-polygamy statutes.

Now that a separate legal body has confirmed that the Browns are not protected by the constitution, however, law enforcement could decide to strike.

In all likelihood, however, Kody and company will never be prosecuted.

For starters, they’re protected by a stipulation that law enforcement in Utah would only pursue charges against polygamists in cases where the parties “(1) induce a partner to marry through misrepresentation or (2) are suspected of committing a collateral crime such as fraud or abuse.”

Additionally, by most accounts their run from the law was dramatized for the sake of television.

The Browns have been accused of faking much of the drama on Sister Wives, and that may end up helping them in this case.

Basically, if everything portrayed on the series was accurate, they’d be vulnerable to prosecution, but because many involved with production have confirmed that the show is largely scripted, they may be in the clear.

Watch Sister Wives online at TV Fanatic to decide for yourselves if the Browns are lawbreakers or just eccentrics.

Jenelle Evans Suicide Attempt Revealed in Legal Documents

Jenelle Evans is in the midst of an increasingly ugly custody battle with Nathan Griffith, the father of her 1-year-old son, Kaiser.

Both parties are attempting to prove that the other parent is unfit, which has led to some shocking allegations.

Last month, Evans claimed that Griffith uses steroids in an effort to convince the court that her ex is unstable.

Now, Griffith’s legal team has fired back with a stunning claim about Jenelle.

In court papers obtained by Radar Online, Griffith’s lawyers claim that Evans attempted suicide last year.

The allegation is based on testimony from Griffith who says that the 24-year-old mother of two slashed her wrists in front of him after he broke up with her:

“That because of the separation of Plaintiff [Evans] and Defendant [Griffith], Plaintiff threatened self-harm and/or suicide and did, in fact, slice her wrists with a knife,” the papers read.

“That when Plaintiff sliced her wrists…Plaintiff was taken to a hospital in Horry County where her self-inflicted knife wounds were sutured to stop the profuse bleeding,”

Lawyers for Evans have not had a chance to respond in court, but a source close to the troubled Teen Mom 2 star has told Radar that there is no truth to the story.

Kesha"s Legal Battle: 22 Celebs Who Joined the #FreeKesha Movement

Stars are coming out left and right to support Kesha, who is embroiled in a legal battle with Dr. Luke, the music producer who she accused of sexually, emotionally and physically abusing her.

A judge denied the singer"s request to be released from her recording contract under Dr. Luke"s label, meaning she is legally obligated to record six more albums under her alleged abuser"s direction.

Since the ruling, the pop singer has received an outpouring of support from fans and celebrities alike. Here are some of the stars who have publicly spoken out to #FreeKesha.

1. Lady Gaga

The day of the fateful ruling, Lady Gaga quickly took to Twitter to express support, tweeting, “There are people all over the world who love you @KeshaRose. And I can say truly I am in awe of your bravery.” In 2014, Lady Gaga revealed she had been raped by a music producer as well.

2. Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift donated money toward Kesha’s cause. “In a show of support, Taylor Swift has donated $ 250,000 to Kesha to help with any of her financial needs during this trying time,” a representative for Swift wrote in a statement.

3. Demi Lovato

Demi Lovato tweeted prayers for Kesha, but also took a stand in a series of posts expressing her frustration over sexism in the legal system. “Frustrating to see women come forward with their past only to be shot down, not believed & disrespected for their bravery in taking action.”

4. Lena Dunham

Lena Dunham expressed her disgust about Kesha’s case in her newsletter Lenny. “When I saw the outcome of Kesha’s court case last Friday, I felt sick,” she wrote, and ended her essay with the hope that “soon, no one will accept shame and fear as the status quo.”

5. Anne Hathaway

Anne Hathaway took to Instagram and wrote, “I stand with @iiswhoiis [Kesha’s Instagram handle].” She directed fans to read Lena Dunham’s essay on the subject, then wrote, “Kesha’s situation is just one of all-too-many examples of how the legal system in this country fails to protect victims of domestic abuse and sexual violence, the vast majority of whom are women.”

6. Fiona Apple

Fiona Apple posted this photo of herself holding a sign reading, “Kesha – I am so angry for you. They were wrong. I’m so sorry.”

Kesha Thanks Fans for Support Amidst Legal Drama

Kesha doesn’t even know what to say at the moment.

But she knows she has to say something.

The singer is embroiled in a legal battle against music producer Dr. Luke, who Kesha has accused of plying her with drugs and alcohol over the years and who she has also accused of sexually abusing her.

A judge decreed in court last week, however, that the artist did not provide sufficient evidence to break her contract with the producer, prompting Kesha to break down in tears.

In response, a number of celebrities – from Taylor Swift to Demi Lovato to Lady Gaga to Jack Antonoff – have expressed their support of Kesha on social media.

Swift has even donated $ 250,000 to her fellow star.

Now, for the first time since her legal request was denied, Kesha has spoken out and thanked everyone for standing by her during such a trying period in her life.

“I am beyond words in gratitude,” she wrote as a caption to the above image, adding:

“thank you is not enough but it is all I have. a million times over and forever thank you. the support I have received has left my face swollen from tears. I love you all so much.

“a statement too large for this format is coming….”

Following Friday’s victory in court for Dr. Luke, who insists he did not rape Kesha, the producer’s attorneys released the following statement:

As Dr. Luke has said repeatedly, the allegations against him are outright lies that have been advanced to extort a contract renegotiation and money.

Kesha and her counsel have cavalierly subjected Dr. Luke and his family to trial by Twitter, using a vicious smear campaign to ruin his reputation for financial gain while failing to support their claims.

Kesha to date has never verified the allegations in this case – even when given the opportunity in her affidavit. Nor has she ever offered a credible explanation as to why she would have signed a second recording agreement, recorded two albums and an EP and signed a publishing deal with Dr. Luke after allegedly being sexually abused.

It will further be shown that the incidents alleged never happened.

Jenelle Evans Accused of FAKING Latest Legal Drama!

Yesterday, we reported that cops arrived at Jenelle Evans’ house over the weekend in response to a 911 call placed by her new boyfriend, David Eason.

It’s not exactly jaw-dropping news when Jenelle has a brush with the law, but this time, everyone’s favorite Carolina Hurricane wasn’t the one who caused the domestc disturbance.

Early reports indicated that Jenelle’s mother arrived at her house unexpectedly and picked a fight with Eason, who decided to call the cops before things got out of her hand.

Jenelle’s cartoonish mom picking a fight with her jailbird boyfriend? Sounds like good TV. 

Fortunately, an MTV camera crew was on hand to capture the whole thing – which has led some folks to wonder if the whole thing was staged for the new season of Teen Mom 2.

Radar Online is reporting that even cops who responded to the call wondered if the whole incident was staged.

“Once deputies arrived on the scene, there were cameras already there filming the reported incident,” an officer with the New Hanover County Police Department told the website.

Since Barbara supposedly came over unannounced and barged into the house, it’s a bit strange that a camera crew just happened to be on hand.

Add to that the fact that no arrests were made, and everyone seemed to have no trouble controlling their tempers once the cops arrived, and its not hard to see why there’s some suspicion that the incident was staged.

Of course, Jenelle’s life is so loaded with drama that MTV crews might just stake her house out 24/7 at this point.

Josh Duggar: Winning Legal Battle Against Danica Dillon?

It looks like things might be going Josh Duggar’s way for the first time in a very long time.

As you may have heard, Duggar is being sued by Danica Dillon for allegedly abusing the former adult film star during a paid sexual encounter. 

Earlier this month, Duggar’s lawyers asked the court to force Dillon to prove that the encounter took place, as Josh says he wasn’t even in the same state as Dillon at the time she says they crossed paths.

The court agreed, and last week, Dillon was asked to furnish evidence that certain parts of her story (Josh frequenting the strip club where she worked, offering her money for sex, etc.) had taken the way that she said they had. 

Now, Radar Online is reporting that the deadline is today, and Dillon has yet to provide the proof that may be necessary for her case to continue.

Dillon’s lawyers have requested an extension that would allow them to compile the medical records, lost wage information, and text messages necessary to prove the nature of her interactions with Josh.

Josh’s attorneys argue that she’s had plenty of time with which to get her papers in order. Court documents filed by Duggar’s lawyers and obtained by Radar read as follows:

View Slideshow: Danica Dillon: Josh Duggar Plaything Revealed!

“It appears that in the days since her Complaint was filed, Plaintiff has found the time to bowl at Admiral Robinson Recreation Center in San Diego, California, ride a helicopter in Kauai, Hawaii, attend a San Diego chargers game, and to publicize photographs of herself undertaking those activities on Instagram.”

Thus far, Dillon has provided the court only with a $ 900 contract from the Pennsylvania strip club where she was once employed.

“That information alone is not sufficient to determine the wages lost to date in light of her alleged inability to work since mid-April,” Duggar’s lawyers claim.

So barring a last-second miracle for Dillon, it looks as though the case against Josh may be thrown out as early as today.

Enter the folks at Sheri’s Ranch — one of the biggest legal brothels in the country — who tell us there’s a way for Rose and crew to avoid pesky snafus in their search for group sex … nail prostitutes.

“The legal hookers at Sheri’s Ranch can take on Derrick Rose, his entire entourage, and the rest of the Chicago Bulls before breakfast, and without any unwanted residual effects like an embarrassing lawsuit.”

Caitlyn Jenner Gender Change Receives Legal Approval

Caitlyn Jenner has cleared another hurdle in her quest to officially change her identity.

Earlier this month, the 65-year old I Am Cait star filed documents in Los Angeles Country Superiod Court, requesting a legal name and gender change.

View Slideshow: Caitlyn Jenner Photos: So Long, Bruce!

On Friday, via proceedings live-streamed on TMZ, Caitlyn’s attorneys appeared in court to hear a judge approve this request; Jenner herself was not present for the hearing.

According to court documents, Jenner formally asked to be called “Caitlyn Marie Jenner,” as opposed to “William Bruce Jenner” in the name and gender petition.

Furthermore, the filing states that Jenner requested that information required for the process – such as her medical history – be kept sealed.

A judge also approved this motion after Jenner’s lawyer argued that, despite significant support for her transition, Caitlyn has still received “unwelcome negative attention” from private citizens during this process.

Heck, she still receive some blowback from her own family members.

Kris Jenner recently admitted to not referring to her ex-husband by her new first name, though viewers who watch I Am Cait online did see the pair recently make nice on the season finale.

I Am Cait has been renewed for a second season and is expected to return in the spring with new episodes on E!.
