Sister Wives Season Premiere Recap: Catfishing Fallout!

Last night on TLC, Sister Wives Season 7 Episode 1 took us back into the lives of the Browns and their always-turbulent living situation.

Oh how we missed them, too.

At this point, you don’t even have to watch Sister Wives online to know the general gist of what’s going on with the polygamous family.

Yes, Meri Brown’s catfishing scandal has made plenty of headlines and the Season 7 premiere wasted no time delving into them.

Robyn Brown said flat out that “everything has changed” regarding the family dynamic since Meri revealed this jaw-dropping news.

Bottom line: A woman pretending to be a man had an emotional affair with Meri while the Browns were on vacation. It didn’t end well.

“I ended up in Robyn’s hotel room one night and told her what was going on,” Meri confessed during a group family therapy session.

Meri “was very nervous” when she finally opened up about the whole catfish saga, Robyn says: “I could tell she was really embarrassed.

Meri Brown Breaks Down to Kody Over Catfishing Scandal: I Was Angry at You!

“She was worried I was going to judge her and she sat there and told me some pretty horrifying things that had happened to her.

“Things that she’s still dealing with.” 

Meri said that her would-be online lover who deceived her began blackmailing her online had threatened both her and her family.

“[They said] you don’t want to mess with me,” Meri explains, and as sister wife Janelle says, “this [was] a huge wake-up call” for her.

Christine was disgusted – that someone would do this to Meri. “That is just evil to create these identities to deceive people,” she said.

As for Kody, he felt like he’d been “kicked to the curb” and felt that he was going to be dumped by at least one of the Sister Wives.

“Is that right? Because, that’s how I feel,” he says, and she bluntly notes that her husband didn’t take care of their relationship enough.

She also is pissed at the catfish freak for “bringing [the chaos] into the family” (and telling tabloids that Kody is only banging Robyn).

In any case … it’s NOT over. Yet.

The Browns’ family, that is.

“There’s still a lot of stuff to figure out and we still have this person doing things and causing problems for us,” Meri Brown explains.

But there is hope. There is.

Kody tells her, arms wrapped around one of his four spouses as she breaks down, “I’m sorry this happened. We’ll be here for you.”

Stay tuned.

Sister Wives Season Premiere Clip: I"m Engaged!

Sister Wives returns with new episodes on Sunday, May 8 at 8/7c on TLC.

And the network has already given us an idea of what"s on via revealing trailer:

But now producers have gone ahead and supplied us with an extended sneak peek from the upcoming finale, one that focuses on Madison showing her engagement ring to her parents and siblings for the first time.

At first, we see Kody Brown talking to wives Meri, Janelle, Christine and Robyn about whether or Madison"s boyfriend, Caleb, will propose in the near future.

"I"m not rushing – I"m not pushing anything," Kody says.

"The crazy thing is, because Madison"s been looking for an apartment and a job and all that, I think that there"s something in the air."

We then cut to a family dinner, where burgers and chicken fingers are on the menu.

Cue Madison’s arrival.

Cue Kody saying that they are “just about to bless very cold food.”

And then cue Madison showing off something on her finger.

IT"S A RING! SHE"S ENGAGED!

“That’s pretty," Kody tells his daughter, while another wife agrees.

She gives her future son-in-law a check mark for knowing Madison and her taste so well.

Remember that you can watch Sister Wives online at any time via our friends at TV Fanatic and you can check out this premeire sneak peek now:

Sister Wives Trailer: Betrayal. Tears. Rage. Catfishing.

Sister Wives returns to TLC May 8, and judging by the network’s sneak peek of the new season below, it’s going to be an intense ride.

Sister Wives Preview: The Browns Try Therapy, Will it Work?

At this point, it’s been all over the tabloids, so you don’t have to watch Sister Wives online to know the pretext for the coming season.

Long story short: Meri Brown had some sort of emotional affair with a person online who was actually running catfish game on her.

While the Browns have gone into damage control mode, questions remain – both about what happened and what it means for them.

They claim that the affair was only through texts and emails, but the catfisher maintains that the relationship was real in every sense.

Everybody is pretty shaken up by it, too, he/she claims … while divulging that Meri told him Kody Brown is only banging Robyn of late.

Meri Brown, for her part, has played the victim, and played it well. Which makes sense, as she is the victim to a degree in this situation.

However, no therapy session, as seen in the above clip, can mask the fact that she had an affair because of trouble on the home front.

There are also three other wives and one husband affected by this.

“From an outside perspective, I see the manipulation all over it,” Janelle Brown says, though it’s unclear who she blames for all this.

Noting that the incident indeed caused a rift with the wives, Christine Brown adds, “Robyn’s mad because she feels betrayed. I’m sure.”

Clearly, as the family prepares to celebrate with Maddie Brown over a special announcement, Meri’s actions have cast a pall over it.

Mariah also distances herself from her mother, who seems to have nobody else in the large, polygamous family to look to for support. 

At one point in therapy, things get particularly heated.

“There were times I was angry at you, Kody,” Meri tells her husband, point blank and in tears. I’m not going to lie. I was angry at you.”

The resentment and tension are undoubtedly clear.

Less clear? Whether the Browns are playing this up for ratings after the fact, or whether Kody is getting dumped by three wives imminently.

Sister Wives Preview: The Browns Try Therapy, Will it Work?

The fallout from Meri Brown"s "catfish" scandal threw Sisters Wives fans for a loop, but no more than her own family.

Last season, Brown talked about what led her to seek an online companion, who turned out to be a woman posing as man.

"Usually when people go through empty nest it"s a couple doing it together," Brown explained.

"But in a plural situation that"s not the case."

Today, People revealed a clip from the upcoming season (premiering May 8th on TLC), which hinted that things are not great in the polygamous Brown household.

"My mom and I aren"t on super-great terms right now," Meri and Kody"s daughter, Mariah admitted, referring to the scandal.

Footage of Meri meeting up with Mariah showed mom awkwardly trying to feel her daughter out with "deep questions," according to Mariah.

"I can"t handle it," she said later.

Finally, TLC briefly teased a therapy session involving Meri, Kody, Janelle, Christine and Robyn.  The sound bites are hard to put into context (Christine mentions "From an outside perspective, I see the manipulation all over it," which could either refer to the catfish scandal or Kody"s treatment of Meri).

Kody admitted that he and Meri "have struggled for a very long time," and Meri got teary-eyed while confronting her (ex) husband.

"There were times when I was angry at you, Kody," she said

"I"m not gonna lie, I was angry at you."

Watch the clip below.

Kody Brown: Sister Wives Star Facing JAIL TIME After Crushing Legal Defeat?!

It probably wasn’t a good idea for Kody Brown and his four wives to venture into the world of reality television.

Sure, it brought them fame and fortune, but it also brought them the attention of Utah law enforcement officials, who launched an investigation into the Browns’ polygamous lifestyle not long after the first episode of Sister Wives aired back in 2010.

The Browns have avoided prosecution thus far, in part by relocating to Nevada.

In 2011, the family filed a lawsuit claiming that Utah’s laws against polygamy were a violation of their constitutional rights.

Today, however, that suit was rejected by the Tenth Circuit Court, a move that could have devastating legal consequences for the Browns.

Interestingly, the Browns have yet to be charged with a crime, despite more than 100 hours of televised evidence.

This despite a recent statement from Utah State Police confirming that an investigation into the Browns possible criminal activities began “the day after the first episode aired.”

It’s possible that the DA didn’t want to go ahead with the charges due to the unclear nature of the state’s anti-polygamy statutes.

Now that a separate legal body has confirmed that the Browns are not protected by the constitution, however, law enforcement could decide to strike.

In all likelihood, however, Kody and company will never be prosecuted.

For starters, they’re protected by a stipulation that law enforcement in Utah would only pursue charges against polygamists in cases where the parties “(1) induce a partner to marry through misrepresentation or (2) are suspected of committing a collateral crime such as fraud or abuse.”

Additionally, by most accounts their run from the law was dramatized for the sake of television.

The Browns have been accused of faking much of the drama on Sister Wives, and that may end up helping them in this case.

Basically, if everything portrayed on the series was accurate, they’d be vulnerable to prosecution, but because many involved with production have confirmed that the show is largely scripted, they may be in the clear.

Watch Sister Wives online at TV Fanatic to decide for yourselves if the Browns are lawbreakers or just eccentrics.

Kody Brown: Accused of FAKING Sister Wives Drama For Ratings!

Krysten Decker, the aunt of Sister Wives star Christine Brown, has been speaking to the press all week, and it seems Kody Brown and company are not happy about it.

Yesterday, Decker claimed that Christine is “miserable” in her polygamous lifestyle and is in no way in love with Kody.

Now, in an interview that could be even more damaging to the family and its reputation, Decker has claimed that the drama fans of the show have enjoyed for the past six seasons is almost entirely fake.

The series’ central storylines often focus on the dubious legality of their lifestyle and their efforts to stay one step ahead of the authorities.

Speaking with Radar Online, Decker says that’s all nonsense, and the Browns have never been forced to move in order to escape the law.

“They talked about moving to Vegas [to escape Utah’s anti-polygamy laws] long before they did,” she claims. “That was their plan and they used the State coming after them for ratings. That’s my strong opinion.”

Decker says she’s been ostracized by Christine and the rest of her Church of Latter-Day Saints community due to her decision to leave her husband and abandon the fundamentalist lifestyle, which she says subjugates and oppresses women.

“My leaving definitely had to do with [my husband’s behavior], but it was all the harms I saw around me,” she says. “I left polygamy before I left my husband.”

Decker says her appearance on the show was edited to turn her into a sort of antagonist, and she wishes she had vever become involved with Kody and his reality series:

“I really regret being on the show…[After] I was devastated, I cried. Christine tried to make me out to be a mean person who didn’t believe in choice, either traditional or religious.

“You can’t actually have a choice if you live under polygamy. If you chose not to do it, there is a penalty.”

Decker says Christine has cut off all her contact with her, and she often wonders if she’ll ever again have a chance to speak with her niece.

Christine Brown: Sister Wives Star "Miserable" With Kody, Polygamy!!!

Polygamy isn’t for everyone.

Just ask Sister Wives’ Christine Brown’s aunt, Kristyn Decker.

Decker defected from the Latter Day Saints polygamous sect, Apostolic United Brethren, which the Browns – Kody, Christine, Meri, Janelle and Robyn – happen to belong to.  According to Radar Online, Decker’s father, Owen Allred was once the leader of the sect.

Decker told Radar recently that she doesn’t “believe” Christine is happy, and it’s showing.

“I call it ‘miserable happiness.’ That truly describes those that were in polygamist marriages and those that left,” Decker said.

“I think they are just miserable and the show started showing it.”

From watching the TLC series, Decker notices a “lack of connection between the women.

“They don’t know where to stand when they’re talking about their relationship with the other women. They don’t get the quality time they want with their husband. Neither do the children. The spousal connection isn’t there.”

I’m no expert on the subject, but I can’t imagine polygamy makes it easy for a husband and wife to connect when there are at least two other women involved.

“They are happy because they believe they are serving God or their God. But it is miserable happiness,” Decker went on.

“I think the Browns are precious people. They are just misled like I was.

“They were born and raised with it. They are not representing the majority of polygamy.”

Decker didn’t elaborate on that last quote, which begs the question “What exactly does the majority of polygamy look like?’

Last year, Meri was caught up in a catfish hoax; she got involved in an online relationship with a woman from Oklahoma who pretended to be a man.

The woman then made threats to Meri, forcing the reality star to come clean on air.

Sister Wives Implosion Continues: Janelle Bolts, Meri Next?!

Sister Wives may never be the same as reports continue to swirl around the wives of Kody Brown getting ready to peace out of the show.

And, with it, the Utah-Nevada family’s “plural” marriage.

Rumors have been circulating for weeks that Kody is getting dumped by three wives prior to Season 7 of the hit TLC reality program.

His allegedly abusive behavior is to blame … though that hasn’t been confirmed, and it’s not like their lives weren’t already complicated.

After all, he’s been banging Robyn exclusively and spending the bulk of his time with their newborn daughter (his 18th child), Ariella.

The three wives’ departure thus made for easy gossip fodder, but recently, chatter of Meri and Janelle Brown leaving started to get real.

Meri has been busy dropping hints about her leaving the show before and after she was catfished by a woman pretending to be a man.

She has posted several cryptic quotes and speaks openly about “feelings of abandonment,” so it’s not hard to read between the lines.

Meri also quoted actor Jim Caviezel saying, “Freedom is not the ability to do what we want, it’s having the right to do what we ought.”

Janelle, for her part, has already ditched Kody and is focusing on her real estate career with TMI Realty, according to multiple reports.

Because of depression, she once took her kids with her and stayed at her mom’s for an extended period of time, so it’s not unprecedented.

That leaves Christine, who can’t be far behind.

Quite a fall from grace for a dude who once bragged to TLC cameras about how he got to go home to a different wife every night.

These days … there’s Robyn. One out of four ain’t bad, at least? Time to rename the show Sister Wife: Counting On and call it a day? 

Kody Brown, Sister Wives to Be Prosecuted For Polygamy?

It has been a rough several months for the Brown family of TLC’s Sister Wives fame, but might there be a light at the end of the tunnel?

At least from a legal standpoint?

Given some of the events we’ve watched play out over the past six months, fans are wondering what more can go wrong for the family.

After patriarch Kody’s divorce and remarriage, wife Meri’s catfish-cheating scandal, and reports that three wives are dumping Brown?

They’re up against quite a bit.

One more straw could break the proverbial polygamous camel’s back, but family reportedly received good news from the justice system:

Bill HB281 was just passed by the House Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice Committee in Utah and will soon be put up for a vote.

The bill would change bigamy from a felony to a misdemeanor, meaning their lifestyle is getting closer to being recognized as legal! 

Brown is legally married to and only banging Robyn these days, but he and his three other wives all fled Utah for Nevada a few years ago.

The move was prompted by Utah’s polygamy law, which they are suing over, and waiting for the 10th Circuit court to hear their case.

Under the new bill, the practice would not be legal, but the crime classification for having plural marriages would be drastically reduced.

It “redefines bigamy as purporting to marry ‘and’ cohabiting with another person while married to someone else or with someone else who is married.”

In a controversial move, Kody divorced Meri in 2014 and married Robyn that year, then adopted her children from a previous marriage.

Of course, whether polygamy is legal or not may not hold the family together if reports of Janelle and Meri leaving Kody are to be believed.

Not to mention rumors of Kody courting a secret lover on the side. Did we mention dude has 18 kids as well? There’s a lot on his plate.

Sister Wives: Are Jenelle and Meri Leaving The Show?

It’s probably for the best.

Ahead of its season 7 premiere, TLC’s Sister Wives may go on without two family member.

A catfish scandal had Meri, one of Kody Brown’s four wives fooled into thinking she developed an online relationship with a man, when it was really a woman.

“During an emotional and vulnerable time earlier this year, I began speaking with someone online who turned out not to be who they said they were,” Meri said in a statement.

“I never met this person and I regret being drawn into the situation, but I hope because of it I can help others who find themselves in similar circumstances.

“Throughout this whole ordeal, my family has supported and stood by me.I am grateful to them for their love and strength through this difficult time.”

According to the Christian Post, both Meri and Kody’s other wife, Jenelle, have decided to leave the show.  

Though not confirmed by the network, both women have chosen to focus on other aspects of their lives.

Sources suspect that Meri will also try to leave her polygamous marriage to Kody.

“She did not want to be there anymore,” a source told Life & Style in early February.

“That she loved the kids but the marriage was done and she was not wanting to fix it. She said the second sister wife [Janelle] was shocked.”

Sister Wives to Kody Brown: We"re OUTTA Here!

Kody Brown’s unhappy Sister Wives want out, according to a new report which comes on the heels of previous gossip of this nature.

Rocked by Meri Brown’s catfish scandal, not to mention other internal turmoil, the family has been on the brink of disaster for months.

Now, reports In Touch (via Radar), two wives are pretty much finished with Kody, the head of TLC’s most famous polygamous family.

“Janelle has told the family that she wants to focus full-time on her real estate career,” a source said of Brown’s 46-year-old spouse.

It’s not just a going-back-to-work-to-find-balance thing.

She plans to use that career path to become financially stable so she can leave her husband, says a source close to the reeling Janelle.

Sounds like she’s not the only one in that boat, either.

“The idea that the Browns are a polygamist family is laughable at this point. Janelle, Meri and Christine all have one foot out the door.”

Kody divorced Meri to marry Robyn in 2014, leaving him legally married to his fourth wife, with whom he welcomed a child a month ago.

That could be all he has left by the end of this year.

“It’s just Kody and Robyn who are together at this point,” the source claimed, reinforcing rumors of Kody being dumped by three Sister Wives.

After Meri’s emotional, online affair with a woman who claimed to be a dude and catfished her last fall, the Browns fell apart at the seams.

“Behind closed doors it’s miserable,” another insider tells the celebrity news magazine. “There’s a ton of tension and no one is happy.”

The TLC show is going to reflect this, as well.

“The upcoming season will focus on Kody, Robyn and Ariella,” the source said of the couple and their new baby (Kode-man’s 18th overall).

That, the theory goes, will quietly but obviously “allow for Janelle and Meri [who also wants off the program] to slowly begin their exit.”

Truth or speculation at this point? Stay tuned.

Angela Raiola Dies; Mob Wives" "Big Ang" Was 55

Angela ​”Big Ang” Raiola has died after a battle with Stage 4 cancer, according to reports. The Mob Wives star was just 55 years old.

Ang was surrounded by close family members early this morning at a New York City hospital when the VH1 reality star passed away.

Raiola was first diagnosed with throat cancer in April when doctors discovered a tumor in her throat and it was removed shortly after.

Unfortunately, Ang learned that her cancer had returned in December and spread to her brain and lungs, leaving her prognosis grim.

Her rep released a statement saying Ang passed at 3:01 a.m.

Hours earlier, Ang’s team denied false reports that she died Wednesday evening, though this time her camp confirms the tragic truth.

Ang’s fans from her tenure on Mob Wives, the rep made a point of saying, “were some of the most special people in her world.”

Raiola “loved you immensely. Thank you for your love, prayers, and unconditional support of Angela right to the very end.”

Raiola is survived by her two kids, Raquel and Anthony, and six grandkids. Our thoughts are with them during this difficult time.

Drita D"Avanzo: Mob Wives Star Assaults Neighbor on Camera! WATCH!

On Tuesday, Mob Wives star Drita D"Avanzo was arrested for assault after allegedly attacking her neighbor in a fight over a parking spot.

Today, footage of the incident was released online, and it looks like Drita may have a very difficult time defending her actions in court.

Mary Bratti provided the video to TMZ as evidence that she was viciously pummeled by TMZ on her own property.

According to Bratti, the D"Avanzos frequently make use of a parking spot reserved for her family.

When she confronted them about it from the safety of her porch, Drita"s husband Lee D"Avanzo – who was recently released from prison – unleashed a vicious verbal attack, some of which can be heard in the clip below. 

Bratti can be heard defending herself as Drita climbs the stairs to her porch and begins viciously pummeling her in the head.

Drita is currently facing misdemeanor assault charges, and Bratti filed for an order of protection.

She says she passed out from pain after being repeatedly punched by Drita, and a CT scan revealed that she had suffered a minor concussion.

Drita"s show may be wrapping up its final season, but it looks like she still knows how to bring the drama when there are cameras around.

Watch Mob Wives online for more psychopathic anger from Drita.

Kody Brown: Only Banging Robyn, Sister Wives Catfisher Claims!

A explosive new report claims that Sister Wives star Cody Brown is only sleeping with one of his four wives and the lucky (?) lady is Robyn.

The other three wives, understandably, are pretty pissed off about it … and that’s not even all. You won’t believe the source of this intel:

In the wake of reports that Kody is cheating on the Sister Wives with a secret lover comes gossip from … Meri’s would-be catfish lover!

Oh yes, the woman who catfished Meri Brown (Kody’s wife thought she was a he) is ready to expose the Brown family in a new book.

According to Jackie Overton, a.k.a.  “Samuel Jacob Cooper,” a.k.a. the woman behind Meri’s big “emotional affair,” it’s about to get REAL.

Overton, who befriended and ultimately seduced Meri over the Internet, promises to reveal explosive details about Brown family life.

What’s it like to be married to a man who is also “spiritually married” to other two women and legally married to another? Meri told her.

For one, Kody is reportedly only sleeping with his legal wife Robyn, who he recently got hitched to so he could adopt her three children.

Kode Man spends the bulk of his nights with her, which has caused major jealousy among the other neglected, emotionally reeling wives.

Especially Meri, obviously.

She revealed these feelings and secrets to “Samuel” not just for the sake of venting, but ’cause she was gonna bounce, Overton says.

During her affair, Meri reportedly told the other wives that deep down, “she did not want to be there anymore,” according to the insider.

“That she loved the kids but the marriage was done and she was not wanting to fix it. She said the second sister wife [Janelle] was shocked.”

Clearly, she never would up leaving and starting a life of her own … and her affair was exposed to the entire world after she got played.

Talk about adding insult to injury.

While the gang tried to get in front of the story, as you know if you watch Sister Wives online, that united front may be just that. A front.

Are the Browns crumbling behind closed doors? Is Kody about to be dumped by three of them? If so, will Robyn actually be excited?

Stay tuned.

Kody Brown: Cheating on Sister Wives with New Lover?!

Kody Brown doesn’t seem to be satisfied with four women and 18 kids, according to a new tabloid report. There must ALWAYS be more.

According to insiders, the TLC reality star may have strayed from his polygamist marriage just weeks after welcoming his 18th child.

The latest cover of Life & Style reveals that there is a Sister Wives secret lover out there, one who is ready to tell all about the Browns.

Why would Kody need yet another woman? And how many more secrets can be exposed about the Browns at this stage of the game?

It’s not clear at all, but the Brown wives have been at loggerheads with each other for years, particularly Janelle Brown and Meri Brown.

Both have admitted as much, and separately, Christine Brown has been on the outs with Kody Brown and Robyn Brown for an eternity.

Kody was actively pursuing and courting Robyn Brown the entire time Christine was pregnant with her sixth child, Truely, back in 2010.

That can’t go over well.

Nor can it be easy when the polygamist patriarch married a divorced mom of three just one month after little Truely entered the world.

Christine, naturally, would be jealous and harbor major resentment toward Robyn. Being a polygamist brings about these new dynamics.

However, if he’s cheating on ALL FOUR, that would take it to a new level entirely, and then there’s this tidbit from the celebrity magazine:

Allegedly, tensions have boiled over into physical abuse, as the Brown women have now added violence to their laundry list of secrets.

Without naming names, a source divulged that one of the Browns was punched in the stomach by one of the Sister Wives co-stars.

This comes on the heels of talk of Kody being dumped by three Sister Wives, Meri Brown, Janelle Brown, and Christine Brown, in January.

Take all this with a grain of salt, of course.

Just because you repeat a rumor over and other again doesn’t mean they are really planning to leave him. Still, things don’t look great.

Kody married Robyn Brown to adopt her kids and then just had a new one with her, so she’s likely in it for the foreseeable future.

The rest of them could potentially revolt – perhaps the Meri Brown catfish scandal was a harbinger of things to come – at any time.

Stay tuned to find out of this is pure tabloid conjecture or whether the long-reported internal crumbling of the Brown empire is real.

Kody Brown: DUMPED By THREE Sister Wives?!

Affable, terribly-coiffed Sister Wives star Kody Brown may be down to a singular Sister Wife if this new tabloid report is to be believed.

The new issue of Life & Style claims that the father of 18 (yes, 18) has been dispatched by not one, not two, but three of his four wives!

Could this be the end of the polygamous family?

Kody fourth wife, Robyn Brown welcomed his 18th child last weekend, giving birth to a baby girl at the (huge) family’s Las Vegas home.

It was the second baby for Robyn and Kody; Robyn has three kids from a previous relationship, and those three were adopted by Kody.

If you watch Sister Wives online, you know Kody had to divorce his first (and legal) wife to marry Robyn and make that adoption happen.

Amazingly, it is neither that drama or the Meri Brown catfishing scandal which has three wives packing their bags – allegedly – this week.

The celebrity news (term used loosely) publication claims that there’s another woman involved, and she’s letting the cat out of the bag.

What proverbial cat would that be? And what bag?

Honestly, we have no clue, but with Janelle Brown, Christine Brown, Meri Brown and Robyn Brown, Kody has his polygamous hands full.

On his best day. On his worst? Look out.

The magazine cover above claims that this epic rift is already in progress, which we highly doubt. But it does beg one interesting question:

If there truly were an affair or a scandal that tore this family apart, would he even have a legal leg to stand on with the other three wives?

The Browns moved to Nevada because of the Silver State’s lax enforcement of marriage laws, but he can still only marry once legally.

In other words, his other three “spiritual” unions could simultaneously implode very, very quickly in some hypothetical scenario. 

Stay tuned.

Jennifer Williams, Basketball Wives Star, Mourns Death of Mother

Jennifer Williams is in mourning at the moment.

The reality star, a former cast member on the VH1 hit series Basketball Wives, took to Instagram on Monday to alert fans to the loss of her mother.

She lost a brave battle with breast cancer.

Williams had previously shared the above photo with her mom, telling followers that she was fortunate enough to spend Christmas with her ailing parent.

Sadly, however, she was forced to say goodbye just a few days later.

“Heaven just got another angel,” Williams wrote on Instagram. “Little did I know when you pulled me in to kiss me and say I love you yesterday it would be my final goodbye here on earth.

“So beautiful but so sad at the same time. You are my everything and will always be my everything!”

Williams added the hashtags #NoOneCanPrepareYouForThis #TheSweetestPersonIEverMet #APieceOfMeIsGone #ILoveU #FuckCancer #HardestDayOfMyLife and concluded:

I thank you for the lessons you taught me and I hope to one day be half the mother you were to me to my unborn child God willing. My heart is broke in a million pieces but I will continue to blossom to be the lady you taught me to be…

I just know you will be watching over me and guiding me to make the right decisions. I promise to make you proud, I’m about to kill it Mom! And I know you will be guiding me every step of the way…

To my best friend, we will meet again and I can’t wait to feel your warm embrace.

Thank you for making me who I am today… I owe it all to you!! I love you Mommy.. I can’t stop crying.

Sister Wives Falls Apart! Women Plan To Leave Kody Brown!

When three out of your four wives turn on you, things are bad.

Amidst Meri Brown’s “catfish scandal,” in which she was tricked into a false online affair, there is even more trouble for the stars of Sister Wives.

“It’s just not the loving polygamist marriage people see on TV,” a source told In Touch of the family.

Meri is Kody’s first and original wife.  She granted Kody a divorce so that he could legally marry his newest, shiniest wife, Robyn and adopt her kids.

Kody has two other wives, Christine and Janelle.

A recording of Meri’s calls with her online “lover” revealed her disdain for Kody;  She was overheard complaining that “he just does whatever he feels like.”

Insiders are convinced that Meri will leave Kody.

“This family has been torn apart,” the source said.

Kody allegedly fat-shames Christine, who admitted in 2011 that she weighed 222 pounds.  

His other insults include telling Christine and others that he was “repulsed” by her when they first met.

And then there’s Janelle, who just doesn’t give AF.

“They weren’t in love when they met and got married,” the source claims.

What’s worse, Kody is reportedly on the “prowl” for a “teenage fifth bride” to add to his polygamist family.
