Farrah Abraham LOSES IT on Social Media After Canceling Boxing Match
For months, Teen Mom OG fans were brimming with anticipation at the thought of Farrah Abraham entering a boxing ring to get pummelled by fellow former reality star Nicole"Hoopz" Alexander.
Sadly, it now looks as though Farrah"s face will go un-pummelled, as she"s backed out of the fight and blamed everyone but herself — which is kind of her thing.
The fight was meant to — in Farrah"s words — "promote anti-bullying," but ironically Ms. Abraham has been engaging in quite a bit of bullying this week.
Take a look:
1. Not Ready For the Ring
Farrah hasn’t backed away from social media in the days since she canceled her fight. Quite the opposite, in fact.
2. #Winning
“Always winning when your views are this amazing #antibullying,” Farrah wrote on Instagram this week.
3. Advice From Ms. Abraham
“Always listen to your gut to do the right thing, it will save your energy, stay away from evil drama [and] focus on your successes [and] talents,” she added.
4. Everything Except the Fighting Part
“Boxing will forever be a part of my life [and] has shown me the above,” Farrah continued.
5. Pot, Meet Kettle
“I’m grateful I no longer tolerate the time-wasting bad people who use me. #freedom #winning #victory #farrahabraham #strength #livingmybestlife,” she concluded.
6. Come Again?
Yes, for reasons that defy logic and explanation, Farrah has decided to rebrand herself as an anti-bullying crusader.

Cassie Ventura Shades Diddy on Social Media After Breakup
The on-again, off-again romance between Cassie Ventura and Diddy seemed like it would never end.
Now, however, it seems that they’re off-again for good (for now).
And Cassie has something to say about it — in the form of a cryptic message that she posted to Instagram.
Cassie and Diddy used to break up all of the time.
One time their breakup resulted in the police being called after Diddy ran off to snoop through Cassie’s phone, but they got back together.
Now, though, it looks like they’re on the outs.
In fact, Diddy is dating again.
He was reportedly spotted with model Jocelyn Chew at Drake and Migos’ concert in Los Angeles less than two weeks ago.
It appears that Cassie doesn’t care for that at all.
Taking to Instagram, she shared a message that many perceived to be a jab at Diddy.
Or, more precisely, it may be a jab at any woman who might appear on his arm or flock to try to date him after this final split.
“F–k these hoes,” Cassie shared.
Of course, it may be that she was just sharing a post directed at no one in particular, or very vaguely at people she doesn’t like.
(Like when any Millennail or Gen Z person participates in that “it’s over for you hoes” meme)
Naturally, a lot of her fans and followers connected her words with Diddy and their still recent split.
Cassie and Diddy have been romantically linked since 2007, but went public with their romance in 2012.
Either way, that is a very long time to be entangled.
According to a report by People, this split didn’t leave the two of them on bad terms.
“The decision was amicable and they remain friends,” the insider says.
Remaining friends is well and good, but sometimes those bitter feelings rise up when the other party moves on.
“Cassie is going to focus on her music and acting career,” the source reports.
Reports say that, all appearances to the contrary, Diddy is still single.
We don’t expect either Cassie or Diddy to directly comment on this.
They were famously reluctant to speak on their relationship while they were together, so we don’t expect that to change post-split.
But there are little signs that may indicate that there’s more animosity than sources are willing to disclose.
For example, Cassie has unfollowed Diddy on Instagram.
That could point to bad blood … or to her disinterest in seeing her famous ex’s face pop up on her social media.
So far, all that we really know is that their breakup is confirmed. That’s it.
But consider that Cassie gave Diddy the best years of her life — she is believed to have dated him from her early twenties and she is now 32.
With that in mind, it is easy to imagine that there may be some resentments, even if they are never voiced publicly.
In the mean time, fans and followers are going to read into every little move that either of them make — in real life and on social media.
We think that Cassie probably knows that.

Ariana Grande Takes Social Media Hiatus Following Pete Davidson Allegations
It’s been less than a week since the world learned that Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson have called off their engagement and ended their relationship.
Neither party has spoken publicly about the split yet, but that hasn’t prevented the public from running wild with speculation about what might have caused the breakup.
On Tuesday, a shocking allegation against Davidson began to circulate on social media.
Believe it or not, multiple outlets are now reporting that Grande ended the relationship after learning that Pete had sent explicit photos of the singer to her ex, Mac Miller.
The goal, sources say, was to convince Miller that he should abandon any hope of a possible reconciliation with Grande.
The accusation is particularly shocking in the wake of Miller’s death by overdose last month.
It’s important to repeat that the allegations against Davidson are the result of unconfirmed rumors, and for obvious reasons, we hope they’re eventually debunked.
But even if the rumors are disproven, they serve as a potent reminder of how much harder a breakup can be when it takes place in the public eye.
So it’s not at all surprising that Grande has decided to take a hiatus from social media until such time as interest in her defunct relationship with Davidson begins to die down.
“Ok today was v special and i’m so grateful i was able to be there,” Grande wrote on Instagram earlier this week, referring to an NBC Halloween special she had participated in that day.
“Time to say bye bye again to the internet for just a lil bit,” the singer continued.
“It’s hard not to bump news n stuff that I’m not trying to see rn. It’s very sad and we’re all tryin very hard to keep going. love u. and thank u for bein here always.”
Fans immediately began to speculate that the decision was a result ar Ari’s chagrin over the latest rumors about her ex.
That may be the case, but it’s equally possible that she’s simply tired of reading about her latest breakup every time she goes online.
It remains to be seen if Pete and Ariana will attempt a reconciliation, but it’s worth noting that folks who worked with Ariana at NBC this week confirmed that she was not wearing her wedding ring.

Demi Leaves Rehab After Just 5 Days; Fans Express Concern on Social Media
In the weeks since Demi Lovato suffered an overdose that nearly claimed her life, the outpouring of support and concern from fans has been constant.
Millions were relieved by reports that Lovato had checked into rehab earlier this week after spending several days at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles.
Now, however, the latest update from Demi’s inner circle has led to a new round of fears for the beloved singer’s health.
According to Radar Online, Lovato checked out of rehab earlier this week after just five days of treatment.
Sources close to Lovato say she’s currently in Chicago with her mother.
Fortunately, the unexpected trip is not Demi’s way of avoiding the rigors of recovery — quite the opposite, in fact.
Lovato is in Illinois to visit Timberline Knolls, the facility where she sought treatment when she first decided to get sober back in 2012.
“Demi and her mom flew to Chicago together, where she is meeting with a team of doctors that were very influential to her in early recovery,” a source close to the situation tells Radar.
The insider adds that Lovato “trusts the team of doctors at the facility with her life.”
Even though it was at Timberline where Demi got sober for the first time, she was apparently reluctant to return to the facility due to feelings of shame regarding her relapse.
“The team at Timberline reached out to Demi to try and convince her to get treatment there after her overdose, but she was too ashamed and embarrassed to go there because of their long history,” says the source.
“After a lot of consideration, Demi and her mom wanted to talk to them because they wanted to see what they recommend for her treatment.”
Despite her closeness with the staff at Timberline, Demi is reportedly planning to return to Arizona this week where she has already begun treatment.
In other news, Lovato has canceled her remaining tour dates and plans to spend the next several months focusing on her recovery.
We wish her all the best as she navigates the hard road ahead.

Michael J. Fox Dead? Morbid Hoax Stuns Social Media
If you spent any time on Facebook or Twitter yesterday, then you might have encountered reports of the passing of actor Michael J. Fox.
The rumor was so pervasive that Fox’s name quickly became a worldwide trending topic.
Fortunately, fans can breathe easy, as Fox is not dead, but is instead the latest victim of an obnoxious celebrity death hoax.
Reps for Fox have confirmed that the 57-year-old actor is alive and well, and was just as confused about the apparent prank as anyone else.
Usually, the origin of such nonsense remains mysterious, but this time it looks as though the culprit has been identified.
According to the internet’s sharpest sleuths, news of Fox’s passing originated on a website that was designed to trick users into thinking they had visited Yahoo! News.
A report at the top of the site’s homepage reads as follows:
“On August 2, Michael J. Fox arrived at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where he was self-admitted with complications attributed to Parkinson’s Disease. According to Chief Coroner Jonathan Lucas M.D., Fox had developed pneumonia, a common problem occurring in Parkinson’s sufferers in the later stages of the disease.”
“Tragically, Fox died at 11:24 this morning. Doctors confirmed Fox passed away peacefully and was surrounded by friends and family.”
While it’s true that Fox has been battling Parkinson’s Disease for much of his life, the rest of the report is a complete fabrication.
It seems that the hoax spread further and faster than most due to the fact that Fox has been silent on social media in recent weeks.
The photo above, which Fox tweeted on June 1 in support of gun violence victims, constitutes his most recent social media activity.
“It’s made me stronger,” Fox once said of his diagnosis.
“A million times wiser. And more compassionate, I’ve realized I’m vulnerable, that no matter how many awards I’m given or how big my bank account is, I can be messed with like that.
“The end of the story is you die. We all die. So, accepting that, the issue becomes one of quality of life.”
Hopefully, Fox’s story won’t come to an end for many years.

Mackenzie Standifer Posts Baby Bump Pic Following Mysterious Social Media Hiatus
Back in May, Mackenzie Standifer disappeared from social media.
Her reasons were obvious, of course.
Standifer"s husband, Ryan Edwards, has been involved in just about every sort of scandal imaginable in the past few months.
The downward spiral began when Edwards got arrested several months ago, and it"s continued in shocking fashion ever since.
At a certain point, Mackenzie probably got sick of dealing with a new controversy every time she logged in.
Fans are happy to see Standifer back on Instagram — but they still have a lot of questions about her absence.
1. Before the Fall
There was a time when Mackenzie and Ryan actually appeared to have a happy marriage. That didn’t last long.
2. A Rocky Start
Things got off to a bad start when Ryan got so high on his wedding day that he passed out while driving to the church.
3. Turning It Around?
Shortly thereafter, Ryan checked into rehab, and it briefly looked as though he was committed to making his marriage work.
4. Worse By the Day
Shortly thereafter, it was revealed that Ryan had been using a dating app to help him find suitable cheating partners.
5. Bad Timing
All of this came on the heels of news that Standifer is pregnant with Ryan’s baby. It will be the second child for both partners, but their first as a couple.
6. The Long Goodbye
Like we said, it’s not hard to see why Mackennzie needed a break from social media — but we’re having a hard time understanding why she returned.

Anna Duggar Shares Rare Glimpses of Children, Continues to Break Out of Social Media Shell
Anna Duggar is starting to really take to this whole social media thing.
The beleaguered former reality star had been silent on Instagram between May 1 and July 5.
She had been similarly quiet on Twitter during this same time period, only re-sending a few messages from her family’s official account for over two months.
Not that we could blame her, of course.
Not that anyone could really blame her.
The 30-year old is trapped in a marriage to an ADMITTED child molester and an ADMITTED adulterer.
Josh Duggar has owned up to the fact that he inappropriately touched two of his sisters back when he was a teenager and also to having cheated on Anna via the infidelity website Ashley Madison.
It’s very ugly stuff all around.
So anyway. Our point is that we totally understand why Anna would stay as far away from the spotlight as possible.
For whatever reason, however, she has chosen to emerge a bit from her social media cocoon of late.
First, Anna gave props to John-David Duggar for courting.
Then, she gushed over her relationship with Josh and we threw up a lot.
Now, Anna has opened up about two of her kids, starting with eight-year old Mackynzie.
“Mackynzie, Jordyn and cousin Emily enjoyed attending a sewing camp this week!”
Yes, sewing camp.
Instead of rolling our eyes over this concept, however, we’ll simply echo the sentiment of most Instagram followers who think this is a very cute photo of young Mackynzie.
Because it definitely is.
Whatever issues we have with her father, they obviously do not apply to her or any of her siblings.
We just feel terrible for them.
Elsewhere, Anna also posted a video of her two-year old daughter Meredith belting out a tune.
Check it out here:
“She is adorable! And hearing her sing made me smile ear to ear. So precious!” reads one comment in response.
We don’t know why Anna has chosen to suddenly be so open about her kids, but perhaps she just needs some positive reinforcement in her life.
Any time Anna mentions Josh, she gets slammed online.
Folks wonder how the heck she can remain with such a disgusting cheater.
But the opposite takes place any time Anna shares a picture or video of her young children… and for an understandable reason:
They’re so very cute, young and innocent.
Anna is the mother of Mackynzie, Michael, Marcus, Meredith and Mason.
She met Josh in 2006 at a Christian homeschooling convention and the two got married two years later in Florida.
They have since welcomed the five kids cited above.
And while Anna and Josh will no longer appear on TLC because the original Counting On was canceled in the wake of Josh’s molestation scandal, it does look like we’ll be seeing a lot more of their kids going forward.
We just pray they grow up alright.

Kylie Jenner Ditches Lip Fillers, Stuns Social Media
Kylie Jenner is a brand new woman.
Actually, to be more accurate, we should say the following:
For the first time in a long time, Kylie Jenner is going back to old self.
In a move that has stunned a wide segment of the Internet, the 20-year old shared two photos on her Instagram page yesterday that featured her rocking a tight black dress and standing next to some friend named Stassie Karanikolaou.
As you can see above and below, Jenner is barely madeup in these images; she’s not even using any hair extensions.
She actually looks quite a bit younger, in our opinion, and we weren’t the only ones to think this apparently.
In response to a follower saying Jenner looked like the “old Kylie” in these snapshots, the relatively new mother explained why this is the case:
“I got rid of all my filler,” she wrote back.
Jenner, of course, denied for years that she had done anything to her lips.
Despite rather clear photographic evidence to the contrary (they were just so darn plump!), Kylie insisted over and over when the topic was broached that every inch of her was all natural.
But then she finally made the confession in May of 2015, stating at the time that her “insecurity” led her to take the lip filler route.
We never judged her for this decision. We just got annoyed that she denied the obvious for such a long period of time.
On a subsequent Life of Kylie (LOL, remember that show?!?) episode, Jenner delved further into the topic.
“I was 15 and I was insecure about my lips … I [had] really small lips,” the star told a therapist on the show back then, adding that she “took it hard” when some guy told her she was a bad kisser.
That guy sounds like a loser.
Fast forward all these years and we’re glad Kylie has overcome this insecurity.
She doesn’t need to impress any new guys, of course, as she’s basically tethered to Travis Scott now that the two have had a baby together.
More good news?
In a recent video Q&A, Jenner said her daughter has NOT inherited this feature from her mother.
“She has the most perfect lips in the whole entire world. She didn’t get those from me,” Jenner happily told fans.
Kylie took a short break from sharing snapshots of her child this summer, not really explaining why at the time.
We assume she was sick and tired of trolls leaving rude comments, though.
Or she just figured her baby deserved some privacy.
But the young mother is back to posting pictures once again, much to the delight of her many millions of followers.
She’s also back to posing in a seductive manner on Instagram, as documented in the photo collection below:

Josh Duggar Returns to Social Media, Gets Torn Apart By Fans
Over the weekend, Josh Duggar’s son Marcus celebrated his fifth birthday.
Normally, Josh keeps a pretty low profile on social media, but he decided to make an appearance on Facebook in order to celebrate Marcus’ big day.
Needless to say, it didn’t go well.
The above photo appeared on the Duggars’ official Facebook page on Saturday, along with the following caption:
“Happy birthday to our sweet grandson, Marcus!” Josh’s parents wrote.
“We love your sweet, precious spirit, Marcus! You are growing up so fast and learning new things each and everyday! We love you and love watching you grow in the knowledge of the Lord.”
Josh made a tentative return to social media last week, but it seems his intention then was to quietly steal money from fans.
This is the first time in quite a long time that fans have seen a new photo of Josh.
It’s also the first confirmation in several months that — despite rumors of Anna leaving Josh — the family of seven is very much intact.
Some Duggar followers didn’t take the news so well:
“Josh should be castrated!” wrote one fan, adding:
“Those poor little girls are at risk for being prey to their own father! The plot to cover for this monster was a very Christian thing to do!”
“Ugh that josh tho,” commented another Facebook user.
Those sentiments were widely echoed, and the memory of Josh’s sexual misconduct clearly remains fresh for many.
And those folks remain thoroughly disgusted by his actions.
But as In Touch Weekly points out, a surprising number of fans are calling for forgiveness for Josh:
“A story of God’s love and restoration. Too bad others have such a difficult time forgiving. God bless this family,” one fan wrote.
“It’s so nice to see a photo of Anna, Josh and their beautiful family. Anna doesn’t post too often on Instagram,” remarked another.
Yes, it may be hard to believe, but there are folks out there who are fervently Team Josh.
We don’t know what’s more bizarre — that some people are so quick to forgive such shocking abuse, or that they’re eager to advertise their loyalty to Josh on Facebook.
In either case, it seems the eldest son of Jim Bob and Michelle won’t be going away anytime soon.

Becca Kurfin Defends Garrett Yrigoyen in Wake of Social Media Scandal
Becca Kurfin isn’t just here to do the damn thing.
She’s also here to keep an open mind.
On Monday night’s Season 14 premiere of The Bachelorette, Kufrin handed out her first impression rose to Garrett Yrigoyen.
She also swapped spit with this handsome husband candidate.
The day after this episode aired, however, fans did a spit take upon the release of screenshots from Garrett’s Instagram account.
They included the new reality star Liking memes that mocked Parkland shooting survivors, the transgender community, immigrants and other minority groups.
These screen captures were actually posted by Bachelor alum Ashley Spivey — and one photo, just as an example, featured Yrigoyen Liking was a meme posted by conservative clothing line Merica Supply Co.
It suggested that a thin woman wearing a “Make America Great Again” bathing suit was better than a curvier woman in all black.
YIKES, right?
Garrett also showed affection for a meme of two boys shooting guns with the caption: “What boys did in my day.”
It was juxtaposed with a photo of boys wearing makeup with the caption: “What boys are doing today.”
Learn more about this scandal below:
Where does Becca stand on this controversy?
What does she think of Garrett Yrigoyen?
Based on our revealing section of The Bachelorette spoilers, she thinks VERY highly of him, which may be why she said the following to Entertainment Tonight after his Instagram history went viral:
“I want viewers to be open to everyone, and I want them to go through this season with me and watch my love story unfold with all of these men … because that’s how I went into this journey.”
She added:
“I did things in the past that I’m sure wasn’t the best thing, but I just want people to stay open-minded to everyone.”
That all sounds well and good.
But this isn’t the distant past. The Parkland shooting, in which 17 people lost their lives, took place in February.
Still, Kufrin continued in her interview with ET:
“I can’t fault on anyone for what they believe and who’s to say that anyone is truly what they believe in if they just double tap.
“I can’t speak to that because that’s just not me.
“I am a strong woman and I do believe in certain things, but again, that’s what’s so great about our country – everyone is entitled to their own opinions.”
This is getting a little bit disappointing, Becca.
No one is saying Garrett ought to go to jail.
Of course he’s entitled to his opinions.
But when those opinions include the mocking of students who survived a school shooting? Perhaps he should be called out and judged for them.
Kufrin did say she would have a heartfelt “discussion” about the beliefs of any man with whom she got serious.
She then told ET why she was attracted enough to Garrett to offer him her First Impression Rose:
“I liked that Garrett could be lighthearted and laugh about the future about being a dad and having the minivan.
“What I really liked was the fly fishing.
“It reminded me so much of home and it reminded me of my dad and I wanted to give [the first impression rose] to someone who really stuck out that night.”
On that point, we can all agree:
Garrett Yrigoyen definitely stands out right now.
