Deborah Ramirez: Second Woman Accuses Brett Kavanaugh of Sexual Misconduct
Deborah Ramirez, a former Yale classmate of Supreme Court Justice nominee Brett Kavanaugh, has come out and accused the embattled judge of sexual misconduct.
She’s the second woman in about a week to have done so.
In an explosive article penned by Ronan Farrow (the reporter who exposed allegedly heinous sex-related crimes by Harvey Weinstein and Les Moonves) and investigative journalist Jane Mayer, Ramirez says Kavanaugh exposed his penis to her during a party their freshman year of college.
The 53-year old admits to having been very drunk at this dorm gathering, but that Kavanaugh “caused her to touch it without her consent as she pushed him away.”
She says he then laughed at the incident, which allegedly took place at some point in 1983 or 1984.
Farrow and Mayer write that Ramirez was initially hesitant to come forward due to “gaps in her memory” as a result of the alcohol consumption that night. However…
“After six days of carefully assessing her memories and consulting with her attorney, Ramirez said that she felt confident enough of her recollections to say that she remembers Kavanaugh had exposed himself at a drunken dormitory party, thrust his penis in her face, and caused her to touch it without her consent as she pushed him away.”
This is what Ramirez says about what transpired:
“I wasn’t going to touch a penis until I was married [because] I was raised a devout Catholic in Connecticut… I was embarrassed and ashamed and humiliated.”
Describing her memory of Kavanaugh’s act and subequent reaction, Ramirez told the magazine:
“I can still see his face, and his hips coming forward, like when you pull up your pants.”
The aspiring Supreme Court Justice, who is currently scheduled to testify in from of Senators on Thursday morning in response to an attempted rape allegation by Christine Blasey Ford, has issued the following statement:
This alleged event from 35 years ago did not happen.
The people who knew me then know that this did not happen, and have said so. This is a smear, plain and simple.
I look forward to testifying on Thursday about the truth, and defending my good name — and the reputation for character and integrity I have spent a lifetime building — against these last-minute allegations.
And then there’s this from White House spokesperson Kerri Kupec:
This 35-year-old, uncorroborated claim is the latest in a coordinated smear campaign by the Democrats designed to tear down a good man.
This claim is denied by all who were said to be present and is wholly inconsistent with what many women and men who knew Judge Kavanaugh at the time in college say.
The White House stands firmly behind Judge Kavanaugh.
Sources say President Donald Trump has no intention on asking Kavanaugh to withdraw his name from consideration, while Senator Diane Feinstein has called for a delay of all hearings and testimonies until the FBI can investigate both allegations of sexual misconduct against Kavanaugh.
According to The New Yorker article, “Senior Republican staffers also learned of the allegation last week and, in conversations with The New Yorker, expressed concern about its potential impact on Kavanaugh’s nomination.
“Soon after, Senate Republicans issued renewed calls to accelerate the timing of a committee vote.”
A roommate of Kavanaugh’s in college tells the publication that he may not have been present at this Yale party in question — but that he is “100 percent” sure that Kavanaugh would have done something like this during his time at Yale.
The judge was part of a fraternity (Delta Kappa Epsilon)back then that whose members waved a flag made of women’s underwear around campus during his time as a brother.
The Yale Daily News has also noted that Kavanaugh became a member of Truth and Courage, one of Yale’s secret societies for seniors that was nicknamed “Tit and Clit.”
In 2015, referring to his high school, he said in a speech that “what happens at Georgetown Prep stays at Georgetown Prep and that’s been a good thing for all of us, I think.”
This may not be the case after all, however.
“I would think an FBI investigation would be warranted,” Ramirez told The New Yorker of her claims.
Ford has also encouraged the FBI to look into her allegations against Kavanaugh.
Neither Republican Senators nor President Trump have given the agency a green light to do so, however.

Kylie Jenner: Birthday Complicated by Engagement, Second Pregnancy?!
Kylie Jenner turned 21 on Friday, August 10.
She celebrated with her family until a few hours into the morning. Good for her.
She"s a mom and a makeup mogul. It"s great that she also has time to party.
But she might be a lot busier, and soon. Because it"s reported that Kylie is pregnant and engaged to Travis Scott.
That would be a lot harder to believe without confirmation if she hadn"t waited until after Stormi was born to tell the world that she was expecting.
A second baby and an engagement are both great news, but did these complicate her celebrations over turning 21?
Take a look!
1. Kylie Jenner is 21!!
Kylie celebrated turning 21 beginning late on August 9 and then celebrated in earnest at the stroke of midnight on August 10, her actual birthday.
2. One thing was missing from her birthday celebrations
Everyone knows that the drinking age in the US is 21. Curiously, if Kylie was popping any bottles, none of that made it onto her Instagram.
3. Well … there might be a very good reason
Obviously, this pic is from Kylie’s first pregnancy. But a report claims that Kylie is pregnant with baby #2.
4. It would be Travis Scott’s baby, of course
Since apparently some people are unclear on this, these two are very much in love.
5. Speaking of Kylie and Travis …
That leads us to another report about these two that would give Kylie even more reason to celebrate
6. It’s said that they’re engaged!
Obviously, engagement rumors are going to follow these two. They’re parents who live together. But there’s also a ring photo. …

The Bachelorette Spoilers: How Will it End For Becca ... and Her Second Thoughts?!
After many months of hype, romantic dates, heartbreak, drama, scandal and Bachelorette spoilers, it has all come down to this.
The Bachelorette Season 14 finale airs this evening on ABC, drawing to a dramatic close in an epic three-hour installment as always.
What do The Bachelorette spoilers tell us about Becca Kufrin and her two remaining fellows, Blake Horstmann and Garrett Yrigoyen?
Well, despite a good amount of off-screen drama involving Garrett’s Instagram account, this has been a pretty conventional season.
After bidding farewell to Jason Tartrick and Colton Underwood’s micropenis, Becca is left with her two obvious frontrunners tonight.
On Monday’s season finale, Blake and Garrett travel to the Maldives to spent time with Becca and meet her family before she chooses.
From the onset, The Bachelorette spoilers have pointed to one outcome, so it’s no surprise that ABC’s synopsis teases “second thoughts.”
Especially given her history, wouldn’t it be ironic if Becca pulls an Arie and decides she made the wrong decision after the fact?
Well, before she meets Blake and Garrett for their final dates, Becca reunites with family and friends to discuss her journey.
Obviously, the goal is twofold: 1. Kill some time before we get down to the nitty gritty, and 2. Evaluate who would be a “better husband.”
“She can envision a future with both men, but time is running out,” the network synopsis of the season-ending episode teases.
Indeed, time is literally running out on this season. It’s over tonight. This right here is for all the marbles … roses … whatever.
Garrett is first to meet Becca’s family in the Maldives, and the once-divorced heart throb is “intent on proving himself to them.”
Becca’s Uncle Chuck, a major figure in her life since her dad’s death, plays a key role here in discussing Garrett’s first marriage.
Becca’s sister, meanwhile, warns Garrett not to break Becca’s heart, and he says there’s no issue there, as he’ll “care for her forever.”
As for Blake, he makes a great impression too, which only serves to leave Kufrin “shaken” when she thinks about having to end this.
No matter what, it’s going to be a brutal end of the line for someone, and Becca’s family notices Blake worried about this very thing.
Taking things down to the wire, Becca is “unsure” about her decision, though she and Garrett are “on the same page” on their last date.
Blake, meanwhile, goes all in on his last date, talking to Becca about being her soul mate, and presents her with a touching gift.
It is this gesture that causes Becca to wonder if she should go with her gut or whether she’ll ultimately have “second thoughts.”
Obviously, ABC has not revealed who Becca’s winner is, but it’s been semi-common knowledge to spoiler junkies for some time.
She picks Garrett over Blake and gets engaged. The only question that remains tonight is what happens in the aftermath.
Some supposed insiders have said that Kufrin has come to regret the fateful choice she made at her final rose ceremony.
Clearly, that would be gold for ABC, just as it was when Arie Luyendyk Jr. swapped out poor Becca for Lauren Burnham.
Well, sorry to disappoint you (or not), but while she may well have regrets … but there’s no sign of a switcheroo happening.
Becca and Garrett are still together and engaged, according to Reality Steve, who has heard nothing about a breakup.
Of course, this isn’t to say that Becca hasn’t had, or won’t have, doubts in the aftermath of the season when all’s said and done.
That’s a much more viable hypothetical, especially given that Garrett’s apology is surely going to be repeated ad nauseam now.
Becca’s comments this season have been straight out of the Bachelor damage control playbook, so she’s likely gearing up for it.
Will it be enough? Are his controversial Instagram “Likes” far from a big deal, or do they highlight a major difference in values?
It’ll be interesting to say the least. The scrutiny of Bachelor or Bachelorette winners is always intense post-After the Final Rose.
For the engaged Becca Kufrin and Garrett Yrigoyen, his past means they can expect even more hard questions than usual.
One has to imagine that at the very least, this will cause some strife. At worst, it will push them to the brink of a breakup.
The track record of success isn’t great under the best of circumstances, so they will have to beat some very tough odds.
Think they can do it?
Discuss below.

Abby Lee Miller Shares Graphic Pic Following Second Emergency Surgery
Last month, Abby Lee Miller underwent a second emergency surgery on her spine. The once-and-future Dance Moms star’s cancer spreads quickly, and requires swift treatment.
Miller has now updated fans on how her spine is healing, sharing a graphic photo of her progress.
Be warned, folks. This photo is not for the faint of heart.
Abby Lee Miller is battling cancer. She has Burkitt lymphoma, a fast-spreading cancer that is usually only found in children, but there are adult cases.
She’s shared this new photo (below) update.
First, Miller provides a little context, writing: “After the 2nd surgery.”
The second surgery was performed after an MRI led her doctors to believe that it was necessary.
“My back,” Miller announces. “Is finally on the mend.”
Healing from surgery is zero fun, but healing from spinal surgery is worse. You cannot even rest on your back for a long time, for obvious reasons.
“I just wish,” Miller adds. “The top section & bottom would hurry along too!”
There is the photo. As she mentiones, there appears to be faster healing along the center.
“I had 52 staples perfectly aligned,” Miller describes.
Surgical staples are often used to repair long incisions for certain procedures.
“And now,” Miller laments. “A bunch of crazy stitches are holding my neck & lumbar region together!”
If that thought makes you a little queasy, you’re not alone.
She ends her captions with tags, writing: “#abbyleemiller #abbylee #dancemoms @hoomanmelamedmd #aldc #aldcla #spjne #disc”
Dr. Hooman Melamed is her orthopedic spine surgeon.
Burkitt lymphoma has a 90% recovery rate in children. In adults, who are less likely to have it, the recovery rate is somewhat lower.
But not only is Miller getting necessary treatments, including chemotherapy, it sounds like she has a positive attitude.
Even so, reports say that Abby Lee Miller is prepared for the worst as she continues with her treatments. That is smart, even if it can feel a little grim.
Through a combination of surgeries, chemo, and radiation, fans hope and pray that Miller can make a full recovery.
The good news about Burkitt is that because it spreads quickly, it also tends to respond to treatments faster than slow-growing cancers.
Sometimes, you have to focus on the positives and be hopeful.
Fortunately, Miller has a lot to which she can look forward.
First of all, prison is behind her. She’s done with her time behind bars and she’s also done with her time in a halfway house.
Second of all, to the shock (and joy) of countless fans, Dance Moms is coming back.
Miller surprised fans with an informal announcement on Instagram.
But, honestly, if anyone’s going to break that news, it should really be Miller, right?
Still, people’s fingers are crossed for Miller.
Her back may still be healing from her surgery, but she’s also working hard to combat the cancer itself.
Miller is 51 years old and only got out of prison a few months ago.
She can conquer Burkitt lymphoma, but it will take a lot. Cancer always exacts its toll.

Ronnie Ortiz-Magro Gets In Fight on SECOND DAY of Jersey Shore Filming!
If you’re currently a guest of The Flamingo Hotel in Las Vegas, you may have heard anguished cries of “Rahn, stahp!” this afternoon, as a security team struggled to do what Sammi Sweetheart never could — subdue the beast known as Agro Magro.
Yes, as you may have heard a second season of Jersey Shore Family Vacation is currently filming in Las Vegas, and things got off to a dramatic start for Ronnie.
According to TMZ, Ron attempted to fight a civilian while lounging poolside with his fellow guidos today.
No word on yet on whether alcohol was a factor, but it absolutely, definitely was.
Hilariously, the other combatant kept shouting phrases like “I got that Gucci bag, what’s up?” and repeating the word “hustlin’,” which makes this the single most obnoxious event to ever take place anywhere.
It’s not currently known what caused the incident, but we’re gonna go out on a limb and guess that the combination of Ron-Ron juice and human growth hormone factored in.
Of course, if you’ve been watching the first season of Family Vacation, or even just keeping up with the cast out of morbid curiosity, then this sort of behavior probably won’t come as much of a surprise.
Ronnie has gone from supporting character to primary source of drama, primarily because of his constant fights with Jen Harley, the mother of his infant daughter.
On the show, we see Ronnie cheat on Jen with a French club-goer dubbed “French Fry.”
(The guidos’ nickname game isn’t terribly on point this season.)
On social media, we watch in horror as Ron refers to the mother of his child as a “c-m dumpster.”
Ron has been flying off the handle on a routine basis for years now, but lately, he’s either stepped up his game or lowered the bar, depending on whom you ask.
Sure, without his antics, JSFV would be an exceedingly boring affair with moments like Vinny’s haircut crisis providing the bulk of the dramatic tension.
But on the other hand … did we mention Ron called his ex a c-m dumpster on social media?
Like, we don’t expect the height of decorum from these people, but we also don’t want to see them get less mature and more gross with age.
But hey, maybe the Gucci guy deserved an ass-whupping today.
Based on what little we know about him, that seems very, very plausible.
But Ron’s a father now, so going forward, maybe he should let someone else deliver the beat-downs.
Watch Jersey Shore online to remind yourself of just how bonkers Ron has been this season.

Abby Lee Miller Undergoes Second Emergency Surgery
Back in April, former Dance Moms star Abby Lee Miller had emergency back surgery after a rapidly spreading paralysis threatened her life.
That paralysis turned out to be the result of a form of cancer called Burkitt lymphoma.
Now, Miller has revealed that she had to undergo a second emergency surgery. This does not sound good.
Abby Lee Miller took to Instagram with a surprisingly calm tone to share the news with fans and followers.
“After another 2 hour MRI this morning,” she begins.
Remember, she is battling a fast-spreading cancer in some very delicate parts of her body — doctors need to keep a close eye on where and how it spreads or does not spread.
“The pros thought I needed one more quick little emergency surgery!”
Her next word is more or less what you would imagine.
“Ugh!”
Surgery is always serious. When the word emergency is slapped in front of it, it is worse.
“I’m in recovery now and texting so everything must be ok.”
Miller continues to put on a brave face, acting as if the surgery were merely an inconvenience.
“Just hiccups in my plans!”
She explains that she is genuinely very busy at the moment.
“I’m on a tight schedule; shooting two projects and I need to get out of here and on with my life!!!”
Obviously, we hope that she is able to continue uninterrupted by yet another heatlh crisis.
Abby’s post continues, as she asks fans to continue to send her good vibes for a swift and full recovery.
“Please keep me in your prayers.”
She wants everyone to know how much she appreciates their emotional support.
“I’m grateful for all the well wishes!”
She finishes her post with a series of tags.
“#ALDC #aldcla #dancemoms #abbyleemiller #lymphoma @hoomanmelamedmd”
Note that her last tag is of Dr. Hooman Melamed, her doctor.
It is worth noting that she was seeing him for his spinal expertise more than a year before her cancer diagnosis.
Another recent post by Miller shares some sage advice with her fans and followers.
Beside a photo of her head tilted back so that she can enjoy a faceful of somewhat filtered solar radiation, Miller writes:
“Going outside to feel the sun on my face was wonderful!!!”
If you’re a person who enjoys sunlight, spending the better part of a year in prison and then weeks in the hospital would make you feel almost starved for some Vitamin D.
(We mean literal Vitamin D, which your body can make from sunlight. Not the euphemism for penis. Though that may also be the case for the newly freed)
“Kids, never take anything in this world for granted!”
That is very good advice.
Simple “luxuries” like being able to choose your own meals or go outside when you choose seem almost beneath your notice until you no longer have those choices.
“It can all change so suddenly!”
Remember, undergoing major surgery that involves her spine meant that she’s been cooped up, recovering, for a while now.
“The Brilliant Dr. B cleared me for sunning this afternoon!”
She was clearly enjoying her time outside.
“Woo Hoo! Thank you sir!”
We wish her the best and hope that this second emergency surgery does not keep her cooped up for too long.
Mostly, we just hopes that she beats this cancer.

Beyonce Fans Actually Whined Over Second Coachella Performance
To paraphrase Kanye West from many years ago:
We"re gonna let all others artist finish, but Beyonce put on the greatest Coachella performance of all-time on the opening weekend of this music festival.
It reunited Destiny"s Child. It lasted over two hours. It included references to the Black Lives Matter movement and other important cultural touchstones.
Fans went understandably crazy over it, in the positive sense.
But when Beyonce repeated this same set, in a different set of costumes, a week later?
Fans went crazy in a different sense. Scroll down to see what we mean:
1. This Was the Initial Set
Check out the above video to relive a portion of the most memorable Coachella set EVER. It included a reunion we had been waiting years to see!
2. More of the Same?
Despite all the time and effort Beyonce put into this set, fans were aghast that she dared to repeat it.
3. And We Mean AGHAST
Twitter blew up in response. Folks just expect so much from Beyonce these days, it’s really not fair.
4. Whoa There!
Comparing her to Mariah Carey, considering all the issues she has had performing live? Cold, Twitter user.
5. Yes You Did
And you ought to be grateful for it!
6. Yes, This Perform Used a GIF of Tiffany Pollard to Complain
We give props for the randomness of it, but not for the complaint itself.

Khloe Kardashian Makes Second Statement Since Giving Birth
Khloe Kardashian is yet to address the very strong rumor that Tristan Thompson cheated on her frequently while the star was expecting.
But the brand new mother has now made a pair of public statements via social media and the Internet.
First, as previously detailed (and then mocked by many), Khloe announced her daughter’s name to the world.
She did so by sharing a photo of her child’s nursery and by writing the following words:
Our little girl, True Thompson, has completely stolen our hearts and we are overwhelmed with LOVE.
Such a blessing to welcome this angel into the family! Mommy and Daddy loooooove you True!
Yup: True Thompson.
Critics have plenty opinions on both this first name and also the last, which is, of course, the same as the infant’s dishonest and disingenuous father.
Insider says Khloe went back and forth for awhile regarding whether or not to name her child after Tristan.
Now, about a week after she gave birth and about a week after news of the Thompson cheating scandal went viral, Khloe has spoken again.
No, she has not touched on the many reports that detail how often Thompson cheated and even whether he used protection while doing so or not.
Instead, Kardashian has focused on both motherhood and sisterhood and how thankful she is to have a couple of positive role models in her life.
“It’s so comforting to know that I have sisters whom I can ask about anything that may come up,” Kardashian wrote on her website khloewithak.com yesterday.
She then added:
“My sisters are all such phenomenal moms!
“I can’t say exactly what advice or skills I’ll be taking from them, but I’m going to remain awe-inspired by how they can handle it all. I hope that comes easily for me.”
Both Kim and Kourtney Kardashian are parents to three kids.
Kourtney has a son named Mason and daughters named Penelope and Reign.
Kim has a son named North and daughters named Chicago and Saint.
Heck, even Kylie Jenner is now a mother, having welcomed little Stormi into the world on February 1.
To conclude a post titled “Why My Sisters Are The Ultimate Mom Mentors” Khloe wrote:
Even though I’m not big on taking advice – I don’t believe there’s only one-way-or-the-highway and we all have to adapt into our own routines – it’s so comforting to know that I have sisters whom I can ask about anything that may come up.
Just by observing them as moms, I’ve already learned so much.
It still remains unclear just where Khloe will live while she raises little True.
Sources say she is still in Cleveland, but actually NOT residing with Tristan.
She is legitimately torn on whether to end the relationship or whether to make the best of it, now that she and Thompson are parents.
A recent report claimed Khloe positively WENT OFF on Thompson almost immediately after she gave birth, screaming at her baby daddy right after a nurse took True out of the room for the first time.
We certainly can’t blame her, can you?
And we won’t blame her no matter what decision she makes here.
If she flies back to Los Angeles and leaves Thompson behind… well, good riddance. The guy sucks.
If she attempts to stick it out… well, who can really fault a woman for doing what she thinks is best for her child?
