Ree Drummond Accused of Supporting Wild Horse Slaughter
Even if you’ve never watched Ree Drummond’s Pioneer Woman, you’ve probably seen her on The View or the Today Show or Good Morning America.
Cooking show hosts usually aren’t that controversial. Some are funny, some are hot, some are gay icons, some become memes.
Ree Drummond, however, is no stranger to being divisive. This time, she’s accused of supporting a mass horse slaughter.
Ree Drummond runs a blog titled Pioneer Woman, and it’s all about cooking for her family.
They live on a ranch in Oklahoma where her young children are homeschooled, so that’s the general vibe that she has going for her.
Ree has a cooking show, Pioneer Woman.
Of course, Ree Drummond has been accused of racism in the past.
At one point, she joked about having confused having a tan with being black.
Another time, she pulls “Asian hot wings” out of the oven as a game day snack, and members of her crew protest that they don’t “trust” the wings.
(To be clear: there are a lot of Asian and Asian-inspired wing sauce flavors; someone claiming to dislike or mistrust them might be xenophobic and definitely has bad taste, but that particular instance wasn’t necessarily racist)
This time, however, Ree Drummond stands accused of something very different.
Earlier this month, she traveled to Arizona and spoke at the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association’s trade show, writing on Facebook:
“The irony of me speaking to 3,500 cattlemen and cattlewomen was not lost on me, and it was an honor to speak about how much I’ve enjoyed sharing glimpses of ranch life on my blog, TV show, and social media for the past twelve (!) years.”
She received the Distinguished Service Award at the event.
But now she’s being slammed for partnering with an organization that allegedly supports the mass slaughter of Federally protected wild horses.
As reported by RadarOnline, Director of Wild Horse Affairs for the Wild Horse Freedom Federation, Debbie Coffey, writes:
“For many years, the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association has been pushing for the slaughter of America’s wild horses & burros, and their organization was listed on the Steering Committee of the secretive ‘Slaughter Summit’ held in Utah in 2017”
Coffey effectively accuses Ree Drummond of hypocrisy, of using horse motifs as part of her branding.
Furthermore, it looks like she believes that the Drummonds are making money from both sides of the wild horse issue.
“All the while, Drummond Land & Cattle Co., co-owned by Ree’s husband, Ladd Drummond, has been paid over $ 20 million in taxpayer dollars to warehouse captured wild horses on his private property.”
Coffey says: “Talk about buttering your bread on both sides.”
For those who aren’t steeped in the culture of … well, pretty much anything with hooves … the “Horse Slaughter Summit” in Utah was an invitation-only event for groups and individuals who believe that, well, wild horse populations need to be culled.
Wild horses are federally protected (animals who aren’t federally protected often run the risk of being hunted to extinction, for food or hides or for sport or simply because humans with guns find them inconvenient).
You’d think that a “horse slaughter” summit, which is emphatically not what they called it, would be about normalizing horse meat in the American diet or something.
(Eating horse is almost taboo, even though unlike dogs, cats, and humans, horses are rarely family members or part of society; this is inherited from British culture)
But this was actually about certain people feeling that the rangelands cannot sustain growing horse populations, and that some should be “humanely euthanized.”
We don’t know the true motives of everyone at the summit — some of them, at least, were certainly looking after their own financial interests. Wild horses can be inconvenient to some ranchers.
But no one is accusing Ree Drummond herself of having been there.
All that she did was address a cattle industry group. It absolutely fits her brand and we don’t see anything particularly sinister or hypocritical about her actions.
In fact, if her husband makes money off of wild horses being alive, doesn’t that — if anything — give her motive to want more wild horses around?
Just a thought.

Caitlyn Jenner: Shunned By Kardashians For Supporting Trump?!
Remember that incredibly brief period of time when everyone thought Caitlyn was a forward-thinking progressive who unwittingly married into a family of nitwits?
Oh, what a time she must have had!
Anyway, it didn’t last long, as Caitlyn quickly revealed that she’s only concerned with social issues that directly affect her – and even then, only if she’s being inconvenienced that day.
Caitlyn’s experiences as a trans woman have had no impact on her political views, as she continues to support the most conservative of Republican politicians, many of whom seek to strip her of her basic human rights.
Former fans were shocked to learn that Caitlyn is a fan of President Donald Trump.
(Yep. It’s official now, folks. Welcome to the End Times!)
Caitlyn is in D.C. for Inauguration Day, and it seems the rest of her family is less than thrilled with her persistent Trumpeting.
According to Radar Online, Caitlyn’s daughters and ex-wife have cut off all contact, thanks in part to her baffling political beliefs.
“It seems like the Kardashian girls want nothing to do with her anymore and Caitlyn is definitely starting to feel rejected by them,” says a source close to the family.
“She called several of them crying recently and said that she has never felt more alone that she does right now.”
Despite the fallout, Caitlyn has shown no signs of wavering in her beliefs.
Of course, it’s not the first time she’s faced stiff opposition:
In fact, it’s widely believed that part of the reason Jenner’s reality show, I Am Cait, was canceled is that Caitlyn’s views differed greatly from those of her target audience.
It’s understandable that the Kardashians would be less than thrilled with Caitlyn’s belief system, but it’s kind of hypocritical of them to give her the cold shoulder.
After all, Kim’s husband, Kanye West, visited Trump Tower during former Apprentice host’s transition, and Yeezy’s not getting snubbed.
It takes a lot to get booted out of this family.
(Hell, Scott Disick is still allowed to come around!)
Something tells us there’s more going on here than a simple political disagreement.
Fortunately, Caitlyn will tell us all about it next time she’s feeling thirsty.

Blac Chyna: Secretly Supporting Tyga After Kylie Jenner Breakup?
Now that Kylie Jenner finally kicked Tyga’s ass to the curb, he’s been forced to find another source of income.
Because lord knows his fledgling rap career wasn’t paying for those Lambos.
We’ve been hearing reports that Tyga is broke for some time, and it seems he’s now relying on his other Kardashian connection for cash: his baby mama Blac Chyna.
“Blac Chyna has been making mysterious payments to Tyga,” a source tells Radar Online.
“Tyga is always pleading for cash, and he’s been hitting Chyna up for loans on the quiet for a while now,” continued the insider.
Chyna, who is pregnant with Rob Kardashian’s baby, shares custody of three-year-old son King Cairo with Tyga.
“Tyga and Blac have a weird relationship, even if it’s stormy they still talk every day about their son,” added the source.
But apparently, there’s more to it than just discussion about child rearing.
“There’s no doubt there’s a huge soft spot on both sides.”
Undoubtedly, Rob and his family aren’t pleased with the news.
Last month, Rob reportedly told his fiance to stay away from Tyga after his family instructed him to do so.
The Kardashians and Jenners reportedly wanted to cut all ties with Tyga now that he’s out of Kylie’s life.
Nevertheless, this source has reason to believe Blac has ignored this request and is slipping her ex “thousands of dollars at a time.”
“He’s always hitting up people for loans,” said the source.
“But it’s pretty low to be asking Chyna, whose been burning a hole in Rob‘s wallet since the day they met. She uses his money for everything, even bank-rolling her ex!”
Freeloading on the freeloader. Like a flea on a rat.

Khloe Kardashian: Supporting Lamar Odom Financially?
When he was spotted at a bar the night before Easter, fans worried that Lamar Odom fell off the wagon.
It hadn’t been six months since he overdosed at a Nevada brothel, which resulted in an extended hospital stay. So it was a surprise to learn that Odom headed to Johnny O’Brien in Sherman Oaks, CA on March 26th.
“He looked sad, or even serious, I would say, when he came in and ordered a drink,” someone at the bar told Radar Online.
Odom, who arrived at the bar a little before midnight with friends, was seen sipping on Remy Martin cocktails (which he paid for himself).
“I definitely did not get the party vibe from him like he was looking to have fun or have a good time.”
The outing may have upset Kardashian, who tweeted on March 29th, “I hate this feeling…. Helpless.”
A source told Us Weekly that the Kocktails with Khloe host “is very worried, but Lamar refuses to listen to her.”
“He actually said, ‘Nothing will happen to me. Look at how I survived this last one.’”
Despite claims that Kardashian is footing Odom’s medical bills and supporting him financially, sources close to her say that is simply not the case.
In fact, Odom took Kardashian’s security to the bar that night.
“He went out with Khloe’s security to meet some friends and get out of the house. He bought them the drinks, but didn’t drink himself,” the source pointed out.
“Khloe’s security guard was with him, which is just like having Khloe with you. He just wanted to get out into the real world for a second and feel normal.”
Odom, the source added, has been “so good and healthy.”
Another insider clarified the financial situation, telling the magazine that Odom is spending his own money on recovery.
As his caretaker, Kardashian “authorizes the management company to pay using Lamar’s money.”
She’s no dumb dumb.

Sarah Palin: FIRED From Fox News For Supporting the Duggars?!
Earlier this week, Sarah Palin spoke publicly for the first time about being fired from Fox News:
“Some things happened that I haven’t talked about publicly, things like getting canned from a job I really liked, sort of out of the blue, because I called somebody out,” Palin said in an interview.
“Next morning I got word, ‘Oh, we no longer need you anymore.’ Yeah, it was a shock, but more power to Fox News. I have a great relationship with them. It was just kind of a little bit of a shocker of knowing that the haters are going to love this one.”
Well, you know what they say, haters gonna…love?
Anyway, as Sarah Palin quotes go, that one’s surprisingly coherent, and while she’s clearly not trying to burn any bridges, it seems as though Sarah is throwing some subtle shade at her former employer.
Many have noted that in her last appearance as a Fox News commentator, Palin blasted the media for its coverage of the Josh Duggar sex scandal:
In the clip above, Palin argues that the media should have ignored the scandal, as she claims Josh’s criminal records were released illegally:
“The release of these confidential records is, it’s tragic, it’s illegal, it’s unethical,” Palin says. “Why isn’t the dialogue going right now towards ‘Hey, let’s get that law enforcement official he or her who released this file’?
“It was confidential.’ You know it was [released] for political reasons.”
Palin was demonstrably wrong on that point, and an investigation into the matter has determined that Josh’s criminal records were released legally, in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act.
But apparently that’s not what got her fired.
No, Palin has reportedly been telling friends that she was canned for biting the hand that fed her.
You may remember that several members of the Duggar family (including two of Josh’s molestation victims, Jill and Jessa Duggar) were interviewed by Megyn Kelly not long after news of the Josh’s predatory past went public.
Palin’s comments about the media exploiting the situation came on the heels of Fox’s heavily-hyped exclusive sit-down, and it sounded to many as though the former Alaska governor was dissing her own network.
Palin has never revealed whether that was her intention, but based on her most recent remarks, it seems she believes she was unfairly fired for siding with the Duggars.
Oh, well. Look on the bright side, Sarah: Now you’ll have more to time to spend at home, peering at Russia through the scope of a high-powered rifle.
Someone’s gotta be vigilant, dontcha know!

Jessa Duggar: Supporting Josh Duggar & the Rest of Her Family?!
Jessa Duggar has a lot on her plate these days.
Not only is Jessa a new mom, the 23-year-old is once again being forced to cope with the fallout from older brother Josh Duggar’s sexual indiscretions.
As we reported yesterday, former adult film star Danica Dillon is suing Josh for $ 500,000, claiming that he assaulted her and caused her “physical and emotional injuries” during their two sexual encounters.
The Duggars will essentially be forced to settle out of court for the amount that Dillon has demanded, as her lawyers have threatened to drag family secrets into the light if the case goes to trial.
There was a time when when the Duggars would have happily shelled out half a million dollars to make a problem like Danica go away, but now, that kind of money isn’t so easy for them to come by.
It’s been four months since 19 Kids and Counting was canceled, and the family has yet to come up with a new cash cow.
The Jill and Jessa spinoff that’s set to debut next month is currently planned only as a limited-run series and won’t bring in nearly the amount of cash that 19 Kids generated.
Currently, Jill is in Central America performing missionary work with her husband and child, and insiders say that means Josh and the rest of the family are all pinning their hopes for a brighter financial future on Jessa.
Needless to say, it’s a lot of pressure for Jill and her new family, as they’re basically being tasked with launching a new reality show that’ll be such a success it can support literally dozens of people.
Add to that the fact that Josh Duggar is essentially unemployable and may be facing further lawsuits, and it looks like the once-wealthy Duggar clan may have a difficult financial road ahead.

Bristol Palin SLAMS President Obama For Supporting The 14-Year-Old Muslim Student Arrested For Bringing A Clock To School — Wait, What?!
Say it ain’t so!
On Thursday, Bristol Palin criticized President Barack Obama (shocker, we know) for “egging” on racial divides by inviting a 14-year-old Texas student to the White House who was wrongfully arrested after bringing a self-made clock to school.
ICYMI: The internet came to the defense of Ahmed Mohamed earlier this week after he was accused by his teachers for making a hoax bomb. Oh no!
In fact, the ninth-grader’s since received shout-outs and invitations from various industry powerhouses, such as Google and Facebook, after the news broke that the talented youth was singled out for being Muslim.
However, the coolest praise might’ve come from POTUS himself.
The Commander-In-Chief took to Twitter and shared:
Cool clock, Ahmed. Want to bring it to the White House? We should inspire more kids like you to like science. It’s what makes America great.
— President Obama (@POTUS) September 16, 2015
AH-Mazing!
Although, it seems this nice gesture was a bit too much for Sarah Palin‘s daughter.
The Dancing With The Stars alum took to her blog and wrote:
“This is the kind of stuff Obama needs to STAY out of. This encourages more racial strife that is already going on with the ‘Black Lives Matter’ crowd and encourages victimhood. The police made a mistake, clearly. But why put more people against them? Why egg it on? Childish games like this from our president have divided our country… even more today than when he was elected.”
HUH?! We don’t think the President is trying to “egg” anything on — rather he’s trying to make a bright student, who was targeted for his background, feel validated and special after having something so awful happen to him.
We think Bristol’s reaching a bit on this complaint to say the least.
What do U think?! Do U agree with POTUS or Miz Palin??
SOUND OFF in the comments (below)!

EXCLUSIVE! Brandi Glanville Dishes On Supporting Presidential Hopeful Donald Trump"s "Balls To The Wall" Attitude & Celebrity Apprentice"s New Host!
Brandi Glanville has A LOT to say!
Nothing was off the table, including Donald Trump‘s presidential bid.
And considering the former Celebrity Apprentice contestant was on his last season of the show, we’re not too surprised she was spilling all!
Related: Brandi Is Flirty In Florals At The Launch Of Her Own Wine
We EXCLUSIVELY chat with the blonde beauty at the All Star Mixology Competition in WeHO on Wednesday night, where she confessed her thoughts on him running for Prez.
Brandi shared:
“I’m normally a Democrat. But I say go for it. I kinda love that he’s balls to the wall and says whatever the heck he wants. Some of the things that come out of his mouth are like, ‘Oh my god, did you say that?’ But it’s refreshing that he’s not afraid. He’s not afraid to say, ‘This person is not a 10’ [referencing his comments about Heidi Klum]. I feel that people are so overly sensitive right now, it’s nice to have someone who is so unapologetic.”
Ooh, does this mean Donald can count her vote??
Related: Trump Goes After Rand Paul’s Looks During The GOP Debate
If anything, she’s at least a fan of his approach!
As for Celebrity Apprentice‘s next season, Brandi doesn’t seem to have any issues with Donald’s replacement, Arnold Schwarzenegger. She revealed:
“I’m so excited. Arnold is so different than Donald. I’m so excited that the show is going on, because I was told it wasn’t. I’m just glad the show is continuing.”
Though if they ever need a new CEO, the former Real Housewives starlet is all for it, saying:
“I told Mark Burnett, if you need someone, I’m available!”
Loves it! She’d definitely shake things up!
Though when asked if she would return to the show for Arnold’s season, she divulged:
“No! It was amazing. But it was stressful, and a long time away from my children. They did come and visit a few times but it was so time consuming. I have too many other things going on, too many businesses to run and need to focus on that right now.”
Well, we can’t see what’s in store for Brandi next!!
In the meantime, you can pick up her line of Unfiltered Blonde chardonnay in select stores and restaurants. For a full list click HERE.
