90 Day Fiance: Aleksandra Responds to Cheating Accusations Over Daughter"s Skin Tone!
90 Day Fiance: What Now? delivered an update on Aleksandra and Josh, their life together, and their adorable young daughter.
Things are going okay between the couple, but Aleksandra’s social media experience took a turn for the worst over the summer — with “fans” accusing her of having had Kaya with a man other than Josh. She quit Instagram over it.
But now Aleksandra is finally responding to the discourse over why her daughter’s skin looks so different from hers or her husband’s. Will this lay matters to rest?
A refresher on Aleksandra and Josh:
Aleksandra was a Russian party girl. She loved to go clubbing and she loved to dance.
Josh was a Mormon missionary on his mission trip at the time. They met and really hit it off.
Though Josh was not thrilled that Aleksandra was surrounded by the club world and such scandalous substances as caffeine (okay, he didn’t call her out on that specifically, but he isn’t allowed to consume caffeine), the two developed a bond.
Their bond was so powerful, in fact, that though Josh was forbidden to date while acting as a missionary, he was able to come back a year later and ask out Aleksandra. She said yes.
Eventually, they got engaged and began the K-1 Visa process on 90 Day Fiance.
Obviously, the couple didn’t just come from different continents but from different worlds.
Which is what made them such entertaining stars for 90 Day Fiance.
Over the summer, as Aleksandra and Josh shared photos of Kaya (which they are no longer doing), Aleksandra was barraged by accusations that she had cheated on Josh and that another man had fathered Kaya.
Those are, of course, hurtful things to say to anyone.
The reason for the accusations was that Kaya has a darker skin tone than either of her parents.
Kaya also has curly hair, unlike either Aleksandra or Josh.
To the “sleuths” who followed Aleksandra (not all of them; just a very vocal minority), this was evidence of cheating.
People like for things to fit narratives, even if it isn’t true.
So they imagine a party girl who fell in love with an American man, but suddenly she’s living a boring life in the American midwest. She feels frustrated or maybe even lonely, and then, say, her dance instructor, provides a little comfort.
That’s not true, but that’s basically what people accused her of.
Others were willing to offer up “alternatives,” like that maybe she and Josh had been unable to conceive and so they’d adopted or gotten a sperm donor.
Honestly, the degree to which people were eager to jump to conclusions about something that isn’t their business … is human nature.
Commenting with those theories under her posts, however? That’s inexcusable.
Now, English isn’t Aleksandra’s first language, so bear with her.
On Facebook, she finally delved into some comments and started replying to people who were spinning these “theories” about Kaya’s parentage.
For the most part, she reminded people that it’s not their business.
Aleksandra also shot down the idea that she’d cheated on Josh, saying that she felt sorry for those people’s spouses.
(It is true that people who cheat are more likely to suspect others of cheating)
Aleksandra replied to quite a few people, but it sounded like she got fed up:
“The thing is, it’s really not of your business man. I waste so much time on people like you saying the same thing over and over again. Lying is what you are doing to yourself considering that you are right. But man that will not help you in your life. If you don’t care about mine, then why are you still here arguing with me?”
“No matter what I’ll do you will hate me and think that you are right. Which is obviously not true. We did this show to show our religion. Lying is against our religion. And I’m not even talking about adultery. What in the world are you talking about? My dream was to build a happy family.”
“Ruin your happiness, not mine. You can say anything you want, but it will not make you right. As I said before, you have a right to not believe, but you will not change anything. What else are you trying to prove here??”
She makes a good point.
What kind of lives, you wonder, are those haters living that they feel the need to antagonize her on her own Facebook page.
She didn’t rehash an older explanation for why Kaya’s skin is darker, but let’s show you a photo of Aleksandra with her biological father.
Aleksandra’s biological father, pictured here, is Cuban.
As we’ve stated in previous posts, it’s common for traits to skip generations. That’s how genetics work.
We can absolutely understand why Aleksandra didn’t feel like going over her parentage again.
Especially when she’s facing off against people who won’t believe her no matter what.
Honestly, the best part of her whole exchange with commenters was the revelation that she doesn’t know who or what Maury is.
(Which came up when people talked about paternity tests)
And that she doesn’t know who Mohamed Jbali is, even though they were costars.

Tamra Judge Reveals Skin Cancer Diagnosis
Tamra Judge has been diagnosed with skin cancer.
The Real Housewives of Orange County star made this unfortunate admission via an Instagram post and photo on Sunday afternoon.
Sharing a selfie that depicted her in Daisy Dukes, the Bravo star – who turns 50 years old on September 2 – gave followers a look at a small mole on the side of her rear end.
“I work out hard for this Booty,” Judge wrote as a caption, adding in further detail:
“I was planning on competing again in November at 50 years old, but I’m not sure that’s happening now. it looks like God has a different plan for me.”
The reality star had been in the news this month because her daughter, Sidney, has torn her apart pretty hard in public.
Saying their relationship was “toxic,” the recent high school graduate wrote on Facebook that she lived with her mother after their parents divorced, but…
“The reasons I left my mothers house are that she was neglectful (leaving us at home with no food or simply ignoring us entirely), she constantly put herself first and the biggest reason was that she was mentally and emotionally abusive.”
Yikes.
In response to this allegation, the veteran TV personality said:
“I love my daughter and I would NEVER abuse, hurt or neglect her in any way.”
It will be interesting to see whether Tamra’s cancer diagnosis mends the powerful wound that clearly exists between mother and daughter.
“Im showing you this picture because this is what melanoma looks like,” the fitness competitor added on Instagram over the weekend.
“I don’t want sympathy, I want you to save YOUR ass and get your skin checked. This was just a small black flat freckle….
“I had no idea! Ill be fine because my faith is strong and my Ass ain’t bad either.”
No type of cancer is harmless.
But, if picked up early by doctors, skin cancer is typically curable.
“Going to be honest I’ve been a little sad, worried and pissed off,” Judge concluded.
“But we caught it early and that makes me happy. Happy birthday to me. #saveyourass birthday party in Cabo not sounding like a good idea now.”
The reality star renewed her wedding vows with husband Eddie at the Ritz-Carlton in Aruba on August 9.
While her relationship with Sidney is a mess, her marriage is going very well.
“Celebrating love with all the hate that’s going on,” Judge wrote at the time of the renweal.
“May God bless your life because it’s not always easy. But God has a plan.. a big plan. I wanna say thank you to @shannonbeador @oclydia @rhoc_kellyddodd (you know what you did and you all rock) #arubaido.”

Bella Thorne: Check Out My Boobs and Bad Skin!
Bella Thorne has been quite the presence on social media lately.
Obviously, Bella’s relationship with Scott Disick has brought her a good deal of media attention, but Ms. Thorne has always been an expert on attracting interest.
Case in point: her latest selfie, which checks two major items off the viral Snapchat checklist.
We’ll start with the obvious:
Bella Thorne’s boobs have proven to be reliable traffic generators many times in the past, so it’s no great surprise that she’s busting them out again.
We’ve seen so many Bella bikini selfies that it’s impossible to keep track of them all, but this one might prove to be among her most popular for reasons that go beyond her prominently displayed breasts.
You see, in addition to showing some serious skin, Bella is hopping aboard the no-makeup selfie bandwagon and her self-deprecation has earned her a tidal wave of support from fans.
The same day that Bella posted the photo above, she tweeted:
“When you cancel your whole day because your skin looks so f***ing bad.”
The tweet prompted numerous messages of support from followers, many of whom revealed that they can thoroughly relate to Bella’s plight.
But if you’re concerned that the 19-year-old is too down on herself, fear not.
She’s still got swag to spare.
On Snapchat, Bella captioned the pic, “Two days of working out and I already look and feel better.”
We know the slightest bit of effort can yield major results at that age, and obviously, Bella looks incredible … but it’s unlikely that she’s really seeing any noticeable change in her appearance after just two days at the gym.
What’s more likely is that Bella looks better because she feels better.
After all, the girl has a lot to smile about these days.
In addition to her apparently renewed focus on her health, Bella is dating Blackbear, a 26-year-old hip hop artist who, it’s worth noting, is most definitely not Scott Disick.
That fact alone has probably earned him the approval of Bella’s family and friends.
“Blackbear and Bella started out as friends but things changed after that nightmare in Cannes with Scott [Disick],” a friend of Bella’s recently told Hollywood Life.
“He was one of the people who boosted her back up. That’s what they bonded over, Scott’s kind of the reason they got serious. Otherwise Bella might not have realized how good Blackbear could be for her.”
We give this relationship a hearty thumbs up.
Did we mention the dude is not Scott Disick?

Amy Duggar Flaunts Skin, Flouts Family Rules with Bikini Selfie!
The Duggars usually prefer to live just a few degrees away from The Handmaid’s Tale, a show that they would surely never watch because it’s part of sinful Western culture or something.
Amy Duggar King has always been something of an outsider in that family. She’s a niece rather than a daughter, for one thing. She also enjoys worldly things like enjoying her life.
But you don’t normally expect to see any Duggars dressed like Amy is in the photo below.
Contrary to what a lot of xenophobes (among other types of bigots) think, you don’t need to look to foreign countries or cultures to find ideologies that oppress women.
You literally just have to look to the Duggars.
(Plus an alarming number of fans, pundits, politicians, and others)
The Duggars follow a form of Christian Fundamentalism that places them on the fringe of society, even among fellow conservative Christians.
As viewed through the lens of Duggar beliefs, women are essentially the property of their fathers and then, when married, belong to their husbands.
Oh, they might not phrase it exactly like that, but that’s how it goes.
Jim Bob calls all of the shots.
At least until they get married, which is why Amy is now able to share photos like this one on Instagram.
This is a totally normal photo for those of us who live in our, um, “reprobate mainstream society” where women get (some) input over what they do with their bodies.
Instead of, you know, being nonstop incubators in a fertility cult.
But for the Duggars, this is scandalous.
Remember, this is a family where a woman wearing pants is controversial.
The harlot.
Like, girls-don’t-wear-pants was already considered old-fashioned in the 1930s.
But the attitude of the Duggars hails somewhat beyond that, before things like autonomy and reporting sexual predators to law enforcement were widely accepted.
Some historians would argue that the “yesteryear” that the Duggars seek to recreate never really existed as they imagine it.
It’s important to note that this isn’t Amy’s first time showing off her sinful skin-flesh.
Amy Duggar wore a bikini on her honeymoon with Dillon King.
It’s such a deviation from the beliefs of the Duggars that we almost wondered if we’d just dreamed it up, you know?
But she’s back at it again, being a person and deciding how to decorate her meat prison.
It’s almost like she’s her own person!
Amy and Dillon have had their share of marital issues, but they’ve taken steps to work through them.
Very public steps, we might add.
The Duggars aren’t strangers to conflict.
Jim Bob’s position as patriarch gives him a creepy level of authority over his children.
But once his daughters marry, they enter the custody of their lord husbands (ugh).
That’s resulted in some theological clashes between Jim Bob and his sons-in-law.
Sincerely held religious beliefs can be part of a person’s core identity, and they’re usually something worthy of respect.
But when someone tries to use them to control another person, that’s where we all have to draw the line.
Amy might no longer answer to Jim Bob’s whims, but how many of her cousins can say the same?
How many of her cousins will get to one day wear a bikini — if they choose to?

Rachel Lindsay: Was Her Skin Lightened in First Bachelorette Photo?
With the new season of The Bachelorette set to premiere next month, this season’s star Rachel Lindsay is making her official debut.
Of course, it’s not without controversy – and we’re not talking about The Bachelorette spoilers for once, but her first promotional photo.
Wow. In the shot, Lindsay is wearing a bright red Randi Rahm gown with a cutout back and matching rose petals coming off the back.
Talk about red hot, to say the absolute least.
The stunning Texas lawyer who quickly caught Nick Viall’s eye on The Bachelor is ready to find a true love of her own – and make history.
Not that you’ll hear her play it up, because the first African-American lead in the franchise’s 15-year run says she’s just there for love.
You know, just like everyone else, right?
Showrunner Mike Fleiss isn’t nearly as modest, proclaiming “I think @TheRachLindsay will be one of the Top 3 Bachelorettes of all time.”
“She is wonderful!!! #TheBachelorette.”
As for her personal hopes for suitors?
“I obviously expect to see a wider pool of African-American men just because that’s me,” Rachel told ET in an interview earlier this year.
“But what I’m excited about is I’m hoping that my cast reflects what America looks like,” she said, and that will be the interesting part.
The announcement of Lindsay as The Bachelorette came after calls for greater diversity by ABC’s president and the show fans alike.
Those pining for the first black Bachelorette got their wish, at last, but Rachel’s race is already the subject of some unexpected controversy.
After the release of the above promotional image, some observers instantly accused the powers that be of lightening her face.
Radar Online quotes celebrity photoshop expert Alan Barry (yes, there celebrity photoshop expert not named Lindsay Lohan) as such:
“There is a certain amount of color saturation that gets washed out by the studio lighting that this was shot with,” he says.
“However, the photo editor has many choices of how to deal with that. Her skin is has been obviously lightened in post production.”
“It is particularly apparent when looking at the the back of her right arm, which almost appears to be close to a Caucasian skin tone.”
Barry calls the work “embarrassing” and “heavily edited” for reasons unknown, but do you think Rachel actually looks that different?
Check out earlier photos of her and decide:
Honestly, we don’t think there’s negative intent here.
Every previous star of the franchise has appeared in similar pic for promotional purposes, all of which look kind of washed out.
As the alleged expert even acknowledges, the studio lighting and production value provides a different look than a candid Instagram shot.
Regardless, this will not be the last race-related story – legitimate or exaggerated – that stems from her trailblazing stint on the series.
This has never been done before, and Rachel Lindsay will be under a microscope in a way that her predecessors never were.
We just hope she’s up to it, and that she’s able to tune out some of the scrutiny and noise while she finds what she’s looking for.

Mama June: See Her TOPLESS After Skin Removal Surgery!
Exciting news, friends: Mama June"s weight loss journey is nearly complete!
As we"ve been seeing on Mama June: From Not to Hot, she"s had the weight loss surgery, she"s been working out and changing her eating habits, and after getting down to 190 pounds, she had her first round of skin removal surgery.
Round One involves a tummy tuck and a breast lift, while Round Two will take care of the excess skin on her arms and under her chin.
Though judging by this sneak peek for tomorrow"s new episode, there"s a good chance she"s done with surgery altogether.
In the clip, June visits her doctor for a follow-up appointment, and she is seriously displeased with her results.
"I thought this surgery would make me feel better, and it hasn"t," she admits.
"My body looks like Frankenstein and I hate that I did this."
Her doctor tells her that she looks good, considering she"s still got a long way to go in healing from the surgery, but still, June says she can"t imagine ever going under the knife again.
We"re pretty sure she changes her mind — after all, there are three episodes of the show left, and there"s only so far they can stretch footage of Honey Boo Boo being sassy.
But we get where she"s coming from. Mama June looks rough.
Check her new body out in the video below:

June Shannon Undergoes Skin Removal: See the Horrifying Pics!
WARNING:
Do not look at the following photos while eating.
We don’t mean to be crass. We’re just concerned about the physical well-being of our readers.
On Friday night, though, Mama June Shannon underwent the skin removal procedure that she thought she had wanted for so long, as part of her ongoing mission to shed many pounds.
But you know what they say, don’t you?
Be careful what you wish for!
Shannon said goodbye to her kids on the episode in order to travel to Los Angeles for three weeks and go under the knife, with “From Not to Hot” giving viewers plenty of footage from the actual surgery.
And this is where that warning about not eating comes into play…
First, doctors drew on to June’s skin where they’d be making incisions…
Then, it was time to get to work…
Shannon was put under and placed on the operating table, with physicians slicing away at her body in order to help her lose weight.
Is that too graphic of a description? Sorry.
But that’s what transpired.
The problem, however, is that Shannon was unhappy with the results.
“My body looks like Frankenstein and I hate that I did this,” she said as her doctor removed her bandages. “At this point, I can’t imagine going through another surgery.”
Weeks after this procedure, the mother of four still wasn’t feeling ready for round two, which would remove her “bat wings” and “turkey neck.”
She appeared to be having second thoughts in general about her weight loss journey.
Mama June: From Not to Hot airs Fridays at 10 p.m. ET/PT on WE tv.
You’ll need to keep tuning in if you wish to find out where June Shannon goes from here.
Why would you actually care or take the time to do this?
Those are very good questions.

Mama June Breaks Down HARD Before Skin Removal Surgery: Watch!
Mama June has come a long way — well, with her weight loss, that is.
We"re sure she"s still down in Georgia, making spaghetti with butter and ketchup and dealing with her forklift foot, so in some ways, nothing"s changed.
But in this new sneak peek from tonight"s new episode of Mama June: From Not to Hot, she"s down to just 190 pounds.
And you know what that means? It means she"s ready for skin removal surgery!
Yep, losing so much weight so fast means that she"s got a lot of excess skin hanging around, so she has to fly out to L.A. to get that taken care of.
But as we see in this clip, she"s not too happy about it.
The issue this time doesn"t seem to be that she"s scared about the actual surgery, but that she"s upset about having to leave her daughters for three weeks.
It"s only when little Honey Boo Boo and Pumpkin come in the room that she starts tearing up.
"Don"t f-cking cry like a pussy," 17-year-old Pumpkin tenderly tells her mother.
But still, June starts sobbing as she hugs her girls.
"I"m always emotional when I leave the girls," she explains in a voiceover. "Going into this surgery without them by my side is going to be really hard."
Watch Mama June get super emotional in the touching clip below:
