Cynthia Bailey Separates from Husband: Get the Details!

Cynthia Bailey has put her marriage on hold.



The Real Housewives of Atlanta star confirmed this unfortunate news to The Daily Dish, saying in an interview of she and her husband, Peter Thomas:


“Peter and I are separated. He lives in Charlotte, and I live in Atlanta.”


Those who watch The Real Housewives of Atlanta online are well aware that this relationship has been challenged over the years due to rumors of infidelity and sexual frustrations.


Bailey and Thomas got married in 2011…


… on Bravo, of course.


The wedding took place on The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 3 finale.


“I am definitely taking some time to myself to figure out how I want to move forward,” Bailey added.


“I don’t want to rush into anything, so I think this time apart is good for us.


“And I think the space apart, I think he can appreciate it as well. I think it gives people time to think and process and just move forward in a way that really is healthy for everyone involved.”


Last year, Bailey told People Magazine that “marriage is tough,” praising her husband for his willingness to stick with the relationship despite its various highs and lows. 


“It’s been a great ride,” she said back then.


“The show has more than tested our relationship, but I think we’re good. And hey, God forbid we don’t make it, we know we tried! We can walk away with no guilt because we know we tried it in ever way.”


That is a healthy attitude at least.


But the union could only last so long with chatter out there about Porsha Williams sleeping with Thomas.


“I will say that Peter are not in a great place right now,” Bailey told Bravo’s Reality Checked with Amy Phillips.


“Honestly, I don’t know what’s going to happen with us right now, we’re still trying to figure it out. But, you know, it’s complicated.”

Cincinnati Zoo Parents May Be Charged in Connection to Gorilla Shooting

The fallout from this weekend’s tragic shooting at the Cincinnati Zoo continues.



As previously documented, and as depicted in the video below, a four-year old boy fell into the gorilla enclosure at this famous facility on Saturday, May 28.


After the gigantic animals grabbed hold of the boy and started thrashing him about, officials were left with no choice but to have an employee fatally shoot the gorilla, who was 17 years old and named Harambe.


Was the animal protecting the toddler? Hurting him? About to cause him real harm?


Watch the surveillance footage and try to decipher for yourself:



Debate has raged all over the Internet in regard to the incident, with critics wondering why the zoo could not simply use a tranquilizer on the gorilla.


The zoo has responded by saying the tranquilizer would have taken too long to go into effect.


Others have placed the blame squarely at the feet of the boy’s parents, specifically his mother, Michelle Gregg.


In response to the criticism she has received online, Gregg posted (and then deleted) a Facebook message that referred to the situation as an “accident” and which thanked God for keeping her son safe.


Celebrities from all walks of entertainment life have also weighed in on the death of Harambe:



Now, sources have confirmed that Cincinnati police are looking into Gregg and Deonne Dickerson, the boy’s father, even though the latter was not at the zoo when his son fell into the gorilla pit. 


Authorities are reportedly reviewing “the actions of the parents/family that led up to the incident,” according to TMZ, implying they may be charged with the crime of negligence.


Do you think they ought to be?


Or was this just a very unfortunate accident that has taken on a life of its own due to the Internet?


An insider also says the Zoo is NOT under investigation of any kind.


It falls under the jurisdiction of the United States Department of Agriculture.


Johnny Depp: Drunken Assault on Amber Heard Revealed?

On Friday, Amber Heard requested a restraining order against Johnny Depp, claiming that her estranged husband had violently assaulted her and left her with facial bruising and other injuries.



Several of Depp’s high profile friends and exes expressed their skepticism about Heard’s version of events, with some even going so far as to accuse the actress of blackmailing Depp


Heard’s attorneys responded by issuing a statement indicating that Heard plans to file assault charges against Depp.


Her legal team now claims that she had only declined to do so on the night of the alleged attack in hopes of protecting “her privacy and Johnny’s career.”


Now that Depp’s team has publicly accused her of lying, however, it seems that all bets are off.


Not only will Heard be filing a police report that could result in serious criminal charges for the 52-year-old actor, her lawyers have claimed that the attack that took place last week (during which Depp allegedly struck Heard in the face with an iPhone) was not an isolated incident.


So perhaps it’s no coincidence that sources supporting Heard have started coming forward with shocking allegations about Depp’s brutish behavior throughout the 15-month marriage:



“Johnny has been drunk for most of their relationship. He often wakes up drinking and he does not stop until he blacks out,” an insider close to the couple tells Radar Online. 


Just two months after Depp married Heard, he was photographed with a cast on his hand that was reportedly the result of an accident on set.


The source claims that was merely a story cooked up by Depp’s agency, and the reality of the situation was much darker:


“The real reason Johnny broke his hand is because he tried to hit Amber and he hit a wall instead!” the insider says.


“Johnny can be dangerous and unpredictable when he is drinking, and he was often drinking when they were together.”


In court documents, Heard claimed that Depp was “barely ever sober” over the course of their marriage, and she filed a restraining due to her fear of what he may be capable of while intoxicated:


“Amber was legitimately afraid for her life,” says the source.


“The only reason that she is even taking legal action now is because she really believes that she was in danger.”


Khloe Kardashian & Odell Beckham Jr: Dating?!

We think it’s safe to say that Khloe Kardashian has a type.


And that type is professional athletes.



Usually Khloe sticks to basketball players, but it seems she’s mixing it up these days.


Recent rumors have Khloe dating New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham, Jr., and insiders say Khlodell started getting serious almost immediately.


Yes, you can tell it’s the real deal by the fact that they already have a couple nickname.


Media Takeout reports that Khloe and Odell have been “low key seeing each other for months,” but only went public this past weekend.


The new couple attended Drake’s Memorial Day party in Los Angeles on Monday, where they apparently made no effort to conceal that they’re dating.


Sources say they’d planned to keep the relationship under wraps longer, but were aware that they had been spotted making out at 1Oak the night before, and thus decided to officially let the cat out of the bag at Drizzy’s.


Like Khloe, Odell prefers A-list lady friends to the company of mere mortals.


Back in February, Beckham was rumored to be dating Zendaya.


Sources say their age difference – coupled with the strictness of the Disney star’s dad, who insisted on chaperoning their dates – eventually led Beckham and Zendaya to amicably part ways.


Prior to that relationship, Beckham was linked to Amber Rose.


It remains to be seen if that’ll create problems, as Amber and Khloe have been feuding on and off for years.


For her part, Khloe was dating James Harden of the Houston Rockets until she turned her attention back to her estranged husband, Lamar Odom, when a drug overdose nearly claimed his life.


Khloe filed for divorce from Odom (after years of separation) earlier this month, so we guess it’s smooth sailing ahead for Khlodell.


Well, as smooth as it can be when you’re dating a Kardashian.
