LuAnn de Lesseps: Why Did She Forgive Fiance Tom D"Agostino Jr.?

He made her look like a total ass hat on The Real Housewives of New York, but LuAnn de Lesseps still wants to marry fiance Tom D"Agostino Jr.


Entertainment Tonight had a sit-down with de Lesseps at her Hamptons home, where they discussed her relationship with D"Agostino and where they stand after he was caught kissing another woman days after proposing to the reality star.


The revelation unfolded on camera, with de Lesseps pacing back and forth in a hotel room, furious as her future husband (whom she had dated for about 6 minutes before he proposed), admitted that he done wrong.



It turns out that all is forgiven, and the wedding is still on.


"We love each other,” de Lesseps told ET.


 


“I always say if you can"t forgive the people you love, then who can you forgive? … I"m not going to let a silly kiss ruin the rest of our lives.”


The couple"s talk made de Lesseps wonder if they should move forward with wedding plans, but…nah.  It was just a dumb mistake.


“If he was trying to hide something would he really be in public? In the middle of the Regency Hotel? Kissing somebody?” she asked.


“I think he was just being stupid, and people make mistakes.”



Oh, girl.  Come on.


“I think the key is to know and believe that someone is truly remorseful and somebody truly made a mistake, that there was no premeditation,” she continued.


“I think it was not premeditated — I think it was a silly move and something that he feels really terrible about, and that meant really nothing to him.”


 


The Countess and Mr. Kissing Bandit plan to wed in Palm Beach on New Year"s Eve.  While de Lesseps confirmed that co-star Sonja Morgan is on the invite list, she"s not so sure about those other bitches.


“I’m still working on my guest list,” she claimed. “This is the most exciting time of my life, getting married again after all this time. I am thrilled. I am not going to let what has happened on the show ruin the most exciting time of my life."


Translation: Ramona "Stinger" Singer is not invited.



As for Bethenny Frankel? She"s on de Lesseps" shit list for not coming straight to her with evidence that D"Agostino cheated.


“She should’ve talked to me first,” she told People Magazine.


“Not the other women, not tried to call Tom, but talk to me. I find that very bizarre. It’s terrible.


"That’s not somebody who has your best interest in mind – that’s someone who has their own agenda. [They] don’t have my back.” 


I don"t usually say this, but I agree with the Countess.

Jinger Duggar: Unable to Forgive Josh Duggar?

On Tuesday’s episode of Jill & Jessa: Counting On, producers once again broached the topic of the Josh Duggar sex scandals and they’re continuing impact on his family.




It’s not the first time that Josh’s siblings have spoken out about the various ways in which his actions have affected them, and it seems that they’ve become more frank and brutal in their assessments of their disgraced brother with each interview.


For examplwe, who could forget Anna Duggar’s accusation that Josh “betrayed all Christians” his sexual indiscretions?



But for all their condemnations, most of the Duggars have been careful to clarify that they have forgiven Josh – they just have a hard time trusting him these days.


Many fans who took to social media to discuss the most recent episode of Counting On pointed out that Jinger Duggar seemed somewhat less merciful than her siblings when discussing her eldest brother.


“It was so unreal, I still have trouble comprehending it today,” said a tearful Jinger.


“But just the reality of this, this person we thought we knew, the person that we loved greatly – we still love – just the hard pain that has caused.”



While Jinger stated that she still loves Josh, she did not say that she forgives him, as so many of her siblings have previously.


That’s not necessarily to say that she’s not open to her brother’s efforts to atone for his many misdeeds, but it’s clear that her pain remains very raw and real, and clearly Josh has a long way to go to get back into Jinger’s good graces.


Josh recently left rehab after 6 months of being treated for addictions to sex and pornography in rural Illinois.


The family visited him during that time, but having him home in Tontitown, Arkansas and living amongst them once more must be a strange experience for his younger siblings.


Counting On was filmed before they had a chance to reconnect with Josh an their relationships with him may have improved in the months since.


Although it’s certainly possible that one or more of the Duggars has realized that they’ll never be able to forgive the man whose actions tore their family apart.

Duggar Family Speaks Out on Josh: We Forgive Him, But We Don"t Trust Him

On March 15, the Duggars will return to TV with the first full season of Jill & Jessa: Counting On.


Not surprisingly, the Duggar siblings have returned to the spotlight in a big way in order to promote the show, and their latest interview with People magazine may be their most revealing to date.



Asked about their feelings regarding the Josh Duggar sex scandals and their troubled brother’s road to redemption, Michelle and Jim Bob’s kids are remarkably forthcoming in their assessment of the conrtoversy that shattered their family’s reputation:


“I definitely have forgiven Josh. It is a process, though, that you have to work through in your heart,” says Jessa Duggar.


“And trust is not quickly rebuilt. It is something that takes a while. We love him very much, though, and we are very hopeful for the future.” 


Younger sister Joy-Anna echoes the sentiment, adding, “I have forgiven him and I feel that, but the trust is not there.”


Even Jessa’s husband, Ben Seewald, shares his thoughts on his disgraced brother-in-law, saying, “I love Josh and I want the best for him. There are a lot of people who have been hurt in this situation.


“I want to look for ways to help heal the situation for Josh and for Anna and their kids especially.”


While they defended him after it was revealed that Josh had molested five young girls, four of whom were his sisters, the Duggars took a darker view of the 28-year-old father of four after it was revealed that he’d been unfaithful to his wife, Anna Duggar.


Jessa took shots at Josh in an interview, and even her parents, who had previously been accused of helping Josh conceal his misdeeds, spoke out and publicly condemned his actions.


We’re guessing the family will have even more to say about their year of scandal on their new reality show.

Kylie Jenner & Tyga Date Night! Did She Forgive Him for Cheating?

It seems Kylie Jenner is the forgive-and-forget type. That is, if there was anything to forgive and forget.


The the lip kit-shucking teen had a date night with her bae Tyga, despite last week’s rumors accusing the rapper of propositioning a 14-year-old model online AND cheating on Kylie with Brazilian model Annalu Cardoso.



Entertainment Tonight released photos of the couple holding hands as they were leaving the ArcLight Cinemas in Hollywood on Monday night.


It was the first time the two were seen together since the rumors surfaced.


An eyewitness told ET that the two entered around 8:30 p.m. and left at midnight.


“They were not talking much to one another, just walked and got in their car,” the eyewitness said. “Kylie seemed to want to go unseen, Tyga did not care at all. The two came out holding hands, but let go once they saw other people around.”


Kylie and Tyga also reportedly visited a doctor’s office together on Tuesday, according to People, but the two left the building separately.



UM, what were they doing at a doctor’s office together??? (Insert wild speculations here.)


While Tyga denied any inappropriate behavior with the 14-year-old, he has not publicly addressed his alleged involvement with Annalu. 


However, last week, Kylie reportedly confronted Annalu, demanding proof of the affair with T-Raww and asking to see texts and photos.


Perhaps she failed to supply the sufficient evidence, because if she did, we can’t imagine Kylie would stick around for that nonsense.


With any sense, the girl should take a tip from big sis Kourtney Kardashian and kick cheating d-bags straight to the curb.

Jessa Duggar Posts Bible Passage, Collage: Does She Forgive Josh Duggar?

Jessa Duggar’s latest Instagram posts seem to indicate that she’s moving on from the Josh Duggar scandals and urging forgiveness of him.



With her prior actions, Jessa made it look like Josh would face harsh consequences for his lying, molesting, cheating, hypocritical ways.


Jessa put Josh on blast by linking to a sermon about infidelity, not so subtly railing against his rampant cheating on long-suffering wife Anna.



As one of his molestation victims as well, Jessa sure made it seem like Josh was in the doghouse, if only with his (many) family members.


Not only did he do horrible things to his sister and wife, but Josh kind of ruined their reality TV careers, which Jessa is said to be livid about.


Well, blood runs thicker than intense social media shade.


The pregnant reality star posted Bible verses on Instagram that strongly suggest she is on the road to making amends with her sibling.


Read the underlined passages. Enough said, right?


She also deleted the anti-Josh post, a rarity for a family who stands by its moral and religious convictions (for better or worse) like no other.


Not only that, she shared a collage of Josh’s newborn daughter Meredith Grace (above), suggesting that it’s all about the kids, and family.


Obviously, it’s a complicated situation for all involved, and Jessa’s about-face, if we’re interpreting it correctly, reflects this to a T.



No one wants to stay mad at their own brother, no matter what, and being the bigger person and moving is a sign of a strong, loving human.


Nevertheless, if there were ever a reason not to forgive someone, or waiting a long ass time to do so, Josh has given the Duggars plenty.


He abused children. He cheated on Anna with Danica Dillon and possibly a lot of other women he met on Ashley Madison or OK Cupid.


Worst of all, he did it all while condemning his fellow Americans for their personal and sexual choices on religious grounds. Unbelievable.


Perhaps that’s why another Duggar source says:


“It is going to take a long time before we forgive, In the long term, eventually, we will forgive, it will be in our best interest to forgive.”


“Won’t happen soon. Won’t happen fast. Just because we forgive doesn’t mean we trust ever again. We are still extremely upset.”


“We are all still very, very hurt … Josh is still in rehab, and nobody is warm and fuzzy to him yet. It still feels like he is a stranger.”


Again, no one’s advocating holding grudges forever or saying that a person can’t change for the better … but well put, source.


Very, very well put.
