Josh Waring: Former RHOC Star Claims He Didn"t Shoot Anyone!

Josh Waring thought he was facing seven charges related to a June shooting in Southern California.

It turns out that four more charges were added at an August 19th court hearing, and Waring fears he could be in jail for a very, very long time.

Initially, the charges included “three counts of attempted murder, three counts personal use of a firearm and once count of inflicting great bodily injury.”

Now, Waring tells Radar Online, things have gone from bad to worse, with the new charges being “battery, hit and run with property damage, evading police/reckless driving, resisting arrest and obstructing an officer, and unlawful taking of a vehicle.”

Earlier this month, Waring spoke to Radar from prison because he’s unable to post $ 1 million bail.

Is Waring responsible for shooting Daniel Lopez?

“No, absolutely not,” Waring insisted.

“I had a prior altercation that night,” he went, adding that he was high when the series of incidents occurred.

“I was using,” he admitted.

“I was under the influence, and was chased off the property,” he said, referring to the sober living facility where Lopez was shot.

“It was a mistake of bad timing,” he continued.

“Someone came back and shot up the house. Just because of the fact I had priors, I was arrested.”

In Waring’s defense, the police report notes that authorities did not find a weapon in the car he stole, but that point could be moot.

“I have four other cases on top of this,” Waring told Radar.

“One is a trafficking sales case, in which I face a max of 22 years and four months. And for the attempted murder, a 45-year max. I am facing time, which is scary.”

Waring has a history of heavy drug use and brushes with the law.  His time on The Real Housewives of Orange County was mainly spent getting into trouble that his mother, Lauri Peterson would have to deal with.

It’s not clear if and/or how often she visits her son in prison, but the former reality star has blown the whistle on Waring, 27, before.

In 2008, Peterson called the police after finding a bag of heroin in Waring’s room.  That same year, she left the show.

As of right now, it’s unclear when Waring will receive his sentence.

“I’m doing good. I’m all right.”

RHOC Cast Injured In Dune Buggy Crash: We"re OK! We Weren"t Drunk!

So, that went well.

On April 2nd, Tamra Barney, Vicki Gunvalson and Heather Dubrow were filming for the upcoming season of The Real Housewives of Orange County.

Barney was at the wheel of a Polaris RZR (a dune buggy) in Glamis, CA (a desert town near the Arizona border), when it flipped over after going over a hill.

Sources told TMZ over the weekend that Barney “had been warned several times by the people training her to slow down.”

One witness saw Gunvalson throw up and complain that she couldn’t feel her fingers, and both ladies reportedly complained of neck and back problems.  

Both Judge and Gunvalson were airlifted to the hospital, but were thankfully released over the past few days with no serious injuries.

Judge updated fans via Facebook last night:

So many text , tweets and phone calls asking if this is true. I can confirm it is. Thank you for your prayers and concerns. We are both beat up but very lucky to be alive. I’ve never been so scared in my life. As the driver I have an overwhelming amount of guilt and just happy that the 4 of us are alive. 

Gunvalson took a photo of the helicopter that airlifted them (weird) and wrote:

Thank you everyone for your thoughts and prayers. #itwasntourtime

Though reports never mentioned Dubrow, it’s thought she was involved, per her own Instagram update:

“Deep sense of gratitude for my family today. #blessedbeyondmeasure Thank you to all who follow us , we are honored.“

Judge was livid about reports insinuating that she was intoxicated at the time of the accident.

“TMZ get your story straight! whoever is giving pictures and statements you are an insensitive POS,” she wrote on her Facebook page.

“No alcohol was involved I am currently NOT drinking due to my upcoming fitness competition and it was 11:00 in the morning. No one was training me or telling me to slow down. I have been riding since I was young.

“It was an unfortunate accident coming off a top of a dune and landing wrong. What is wrong with people? are they that miserable that they want someone else to look bad?”

Brooks Ayers: Did He Really Lie About Cancer on RHOC?

This dude makes my skin crawl.

Brooks Ayers, he who cast a love spell on The Real Housewives of Orange County‘s Vicki Gunvalson, hijacked last season in its entirety with the classic, edge-of-your-seat storyline: “Does he Or Does He Not Have Cancer?”

While it may sound very inappropriate to question whether or not someone has cancer, you have to remember that these are Housewives and they survive off this bullsh*t.  Kind of like how a shark needs to keep swimming or it will die.

Anyway, Ayers said he had cancer and claimed to have undergone treatment at City of Hope medical center outside LA.

A rep from from COH confirmed to E! News that Ayers had never received treatment for anything at their center.  

During the three-part reunion special, one could definitely tell that the light had left Gunvalson’s eyes.  

Back in August, Gunvalson had confirmed that she and Ayers split up.  The Midwest native had also lost her mom this year, the heartbreaking moment she found out captured on tape (and aired, with Gunvalson’s consent).

Brooks Ayers Defends Cancer Diagnosis, Slams RHOC Drama (Again)

Ayers was so hell-bent on making people believe he was battling cancer that he agreed to a sit down with E!‘s Melanie Bromley. 

During the interview, Ayers showed Bromley documents (complete with COH’s logo) to show that he was receiving treatment.  E! was able to obtain the documents, and compare them to verified records from the medical center.

“These are the three bills that reference the days I got my treatment,” Ayers said. “I’m not going to say I’m in remission. That’s not going to be the case until my numbers have normalized and that’s the word that was used to me.

“I have more tests coming up in two months. I go back every 90 days. I don’t get a scan every 90 days but I get blood work done every 90 days.”

RHOC‘s Shannon Beador made a similar comparisons between an alleged medical document Ayers showed Tamra Barney and one from Newport Imaging in Orange County.

That is so awkward for you, Brooks.  You’re going to have to explain yourself all over again in hell.

RHOC Star Brooks Ayers SLAMS Accusations That He"s "Faking" His Cancer! Claims The Rumors Are Created For THIS Reason!

Why would someone lie about having cancer?!

Well, that’s exactly what Real Housewives of Orange County star Brooks Ayers is trying to clarify — he wouldn’t.

On Monday, Vicki Gunvalson‘s ex confirmed in an interview that he does in fact have cancer — despite the claims made otherwise by co-stars Meghan King Edmonds and Tamra Judge.

He shared:

“I think they do it to create drama. It’s useless drama that brings on stress that quite frankly no one needs and in particular my situation. I’m not running from anything.”

Tell us how you really feel. LOLz!

Though for someone who’s sick with cancer, we could understand how frustrating it must be to be doubted about your illness. Brooks was diagnosed with stage 3 Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma back in 2013 but recently revealed that he stopped receiving chemotherapy in order to pursue an alternative form of treatment.

This news obviously became a hot button issue with the ladies of the popular show.

He continued:

“My lesion, my inflammations were gone. Gone! So I’m encouraged. Cancer doesn’t mean I should be lying around in a hospice bed.”

Well, we’re happy to hear that the Bravolebrity is doing much better. In fact, the reality star even took to Twitter to address some Real Housewives fans’ doubt regarding his disease.

He posted:

@Dr_Ali_2010 I’m not faking cancer. Uggh. Please don’t buy into edited reality TV drama for ratings.

Fair point.

It’ll be inneresting to see how this all plays out for the rest of the season. Be sure to ch-ch-check out all the drama on Mondays at 9 p.m. E.T./P.T. on Bravo.
