Duggar Family Endorses Frozen Yogurt Shop, Gets SLAMMED on Social Media

How hated is the Duggar family these days?


So hated that they can’t even get ice cream without becoming the subjects of unwanted attention on social media.



Okay, so it’s actually frozen yogurt that lured the Jim Bob, Michelle and Jinger out of the Duggar compound over the weekend, but the reaction to the above photo was still downright frigid.


As you can see, the Duggars were joined by Jinger’s new boyfriend, Jeremy Vuolo, when they stopped by Sweet Loring Frozen Yogurt in Laredo, Texas.


No word on what brought the Dugz to the streets of Laredo, but they seem to be more or less constantly on tour these days.


Anyway, the owner of the shop posted the pic on Facebook and Twitter, along with a “huge shoutout” to the Duggar clan.


That’s when all hell broke loose.


Jeremy got his first taste of life as a member of the Duggar clan when social media commenters asked for extra nuts on their two scoops of Duggar hate.



Some choice comments:


“@SweetLoring because everyone is proud to have bigoted cult members who enabled their son to molest 4 of their daughters for 2 years there.”


“@SweetLoring not sure I would brag about this family visiting you. They are not a family to admire.”


“@SweetLoring Obviously your business is anti gay, woman and transgender. No thank you.”


“@SweetLoring Having TLC’s Duggar family promote your place is not a good thing. Over 1,000 advertisers have dropped this family.”


Yes, these days the Duggars can’t step out for slightly healthier ice cream without getting raked over the coals.


And considering a damaged reputation is their only punishment for helping their teenage son molest five young girls, we’re gonna go ahead and say it’s a good thing that the public won’t let them forget about it.


Keep up the good work, Internet.


Sarah Symonds: Gordon Ramsay Had a Vasectomy! Tana"s Miscarriage is FAKE!!

Gordon Ramsay’s former mistress Sarah Symonds believes the celebrity chef’s wife was never recently pregnant and is faking a miscarriage.


Who would do such a thing (besides Tila Tequila)?



Sad news of Tana Ramsay’s miscarriage surprised his fans this spring, and sparked an outpouring of support for the longtime couple.


Not from Sarah Symonds, however.


“I feel he was motivated to talk about his wife Tana’s ‘phantom’ pregnancy, and then losing the child, for its public relations value,” she says.


“I find it curious that his wife never showed a baby bump up through the fifth month, when he alleged she lost the child,” Sarah adds.


“Furthermore, she never once talked publicly about being in a pregnant way, leaving that for Gordon to do on a late night talk show.”


“Then, when she miscarried, he once again took control, posting an official statement about it on Facebook.”


Accusing him of milking the story “to engender sympathy from his adoring fans,” she said, “I’m asking that he turn over his medical records.”


That’s right … his medical records.


Because he had told her, allegedly, several times during their seven year affair that he’d had a vasectomy. Naturally.


“If somehow her pregnancy was for real and she lost the baby, I truly feel for her,” added Symonds.


“But if that was the case, then it’s also possible that Gordon never had a vasectomy in the first place and lied to me so that he could have unprotected sex!”


“In fact, he only used a condom our last time together at my insistence because I’d been told there were other women.”


“To be on the safe side, I was on the pill.”



Is it possible to have a vasectomy and then get it reversed? Of course, and Symonds acknowledges this is a possibility, but …


“Gordon blabs about just about everything in his personal life, so why wouldn’t he talk about having had a vasectomy and then getting it reversed?”


“Gordon told me in no uncertain terms that he couldn’t have any more kids because of the vasectomy he’d had.”


“So which is it, did he ever have the procedure, was it reversed or was it just another of his many outright lies to me?”


“He owes me some small degree of respect in this matter given we’d been intimate for such a long period,” she ranted.


Moreover, “by going public with his story he could have helped so many men going through the same thing … to be a beacon of support.”


We’re trying not to laugh at that last line.


Furthermore, Symonds questioned her ability to even get pregnant at age 41, because her last child was conceived with the help of IVF.


Ramsay and Tana have been married since 1996. They have four kids, daughters Megan 17, Holly, 16, and Matilda, 14, and son, Jack, 16.


Symonds blasted Gordon, 49, for treating his wife like a “rag doll” and said she was in denial when their 2001-2008 affair went public.


27 Top Grey"s Anatomy Couples: RANKED!


We"ve fallen in love with a lot of couples on Grey"s Anatomy over the years, though most of them are no longer together.


In fact, you might have even forgotten some of these couples were once a thing.


We"ve ranked the top 27 couples(there are SO many)  from Grey"s Anatomy below. Find out which ones were our favorites!




27. Callie and Penny


Callie and penny

Maybe in another time and place, we could have gotten on board with this relationship, but Callie’s girlfriend turning out to be the doctor who couldn’t save McDreamy? Too many issues there to begin with. Add to that the fact that Penny’s decision to move to New York spawned a nasty custody battle between Callie and Arizona, and well, we just don’t like it.



26. George and Izzie


George and izzie

Ugh. George and Izzie’s attempts at a romantic relationship were not only awkward, but also broke up George’s marriage to Callie. They should have just stayed friends all along.



25. Derek and Rose


Derek and rose

Rose was actually pretty okay, but she was just an obstacle for Derek and Meredith to finally be able to be together. You have to feel a little sorry for Rose, though she made it clear she was able to stand up for herself early on.



24. Jackson and Stephanie


Jackson and stephanie

Jackson and Stephanie were cute together, but not exactly memorable. Especially since all we really wanted was for Jackson to finally be with April.



23. Alex and Ava


Alex and ava

It was so nice to see this side of Alex — the side that could be sweet, sensitive, and a caretaker. Unfortunately, his relationship with Ava / Rebecca was totally dysfunctional and ended in heartbreak.



22. George and Callie


George and callie

Look, these two just weren’t supposed to be together, and their rushed marriage was a trainwreck. That was only made worse when George cheated on Callie.

Justin Timberlake Praises Jesse Williams, Earns Ire of Internet

Jesse Williams was honored at the 2016 BET Awards on Sunday night.


A social activist prominent in the Black Lives Matter movement, the Grey’s Anatomy actor accepted the show’s Humanitarian Award and proceeded to give a stirring speech on stage.



Referring to Tamir Rice, the 12-year-old shot dead by a white police officer in Cleveland in 2014, Williams said the following:


“Yesterday would have been young Tamir Rice’s 14th birthday.”


“So, I don’t want to hear anymore about how far we’ve come when paid public servants can pull a drive by on a 12-year-old playing alone in a park in broad daylight, killing him on television and then going home to make a sandwich.”


After citing the “black women who have spent their lifetimes dedicated to nurturing everyone before themselves,” Williams went further.


He took critics of Black Lives Matter to task, adding:


“If you have a critique for the resistance, for our resistance, then you better have an established record of critique of our oppression.”


“If you have no interest in equal rights for black people, then do not make suggestions to those who do. Sit down.”


It was a terrific speech. Watch it above.


Among those who hailed Williams for his moving words was Justin Timberlake.


“@iJesseWilliams tho… #Inspired #BET2016,” the artist Tweeted.



Pretty strong response, right? Pretty basic praise, no?


Not according to a few Timberlake critics on Twitter.


JT’s seemingly harmless Tweey prompted one follower to write:


“So does this mean you’re going to stop appropriating our music and culture? And apologize to Janet too. #BETAwards.”


The latter is a reference to the 2004 Super Bowl halftime show in which Timberlake performed alongside Janet Jackson.


The singer pulled off a piece of her ensemble, briefly exposing her nipple in front of tens of millions of viewers.


The move resulted in stricter broadcasting standards across television and backlash aimed at all those involved.


We had no idea this was still a thing to some people.


Timberlake quoted the critical tweet, replying as follows:


“Oh, you sweet soul. The more you realize that we are the same, the more we can have a conversation. Bye.”




JTweet



Things just snowballed from here, as users called out Timberlake for not using his celebrit7 platform to speak out for black rights.


And also for the damage he caused to Jackson’s career more than a decade ago.


“I feel misunderstood,” Timberlake wrote in reply.


“I responded to a specific tweet that wasn’t meant to be a general response. I shouldn’t have responded anyway… I forget this forum sometimes…


“I was truly inspired by @iJesseWilliams speech because I really do feel that we are all one… A human race.”


“I apologize to anyone that felt I was out of turn. I have nothing but LOVE FOR YOU AND ALL OF US.”



In his speech, Williams did condemn cultural appropriation, saying:


“We’ve been floating this country on credit for centuries, and we’re done watching and waiting while this invention called whiteness uses and abuses us.


“Burying black people out of sight and out of mind while extracting our culture, our dollars, our entertainment like oil. Black gold.”


“Ghettoizing and demeaning our creations, then stealing them, gentrifying our genius, then trying us on like costumes before discarding our bodies like rinds of strange fruit.”


“The thing is though, just because we’re magic doesn’t mean we’re not real.”
