Keshia Knight Pulliam on Divorce Drama: No More Tears!
Keshia Knight Pulliam is choosing to focus on the positive.
Yes, the former child star is getting divorced.
Yes, husband Ed Hartwell dropped this unfortunate nugget into her lap this week and, yes, he even include the demand for a paternity suit in the divorce documents.
Also: yes, Hartwell didn’t paint Pulliam in a very good light when he told The New York Post that she was baby-obsessed and that she would disappear on him for nights at a time, hence his questions over the father of her child.
But still.
Pulliam is here to say that she’s doing just fine.
“It’s Friday, and I’ve made it,” the actress said today on her podcast, Kandidly Keshia, adding:
“One thing you know in show business is that the show must always go on.
“I’ve definitely had a trying week, to say the least, but I’m grateful, I’m here, I’m well, baby girl is well and, at the end of the day, that is all that matters.”
Pulliam ism indeed, pregnant with a girl.
It’s unclear when she is due, but she’ll be raising the child on her own.
“Despite what’s been publicized, there’s always funny, there’s always love, there’s always laughter, no matter what,” Pulliam said of her ongoing “little situation.”
This would include a divorce from the man she married a mere seven months ago.
Hartwell said in his latest interview that Pulliam wanted to have a child right away.
Despite his protestations, the couple did get pregnant… but then they grew apart.
When Hartwell admitted to still having feelings for his ex, he says Pulliam flipped out and basically vanished from his life.
Pulliam, however, shared her side of the story with Entertainment Tonight, telling the outlet on Wednesday that Hartwell is the one who cheated.
She says she was not paid for that appearance.
“There’s no amount of money that could replace that, and it was about the opportunity to share my truth – share what has actually happened to me,” she said today.
“And I’m grateful for it because of how many women I’ve been able to empower, because silence is what allows this to continue, for people to suffer, for people to feel alone, and I’m human – we all have stuff, I’m not excluded.
“So the fact that I was able to help even one woman, for me, makes it all worth it.”
Later in the podcast, Pulliam said she will never be friends with Hartwell’s ex-wife, Lisa Wu, though she wants to make it clear that she did NOT steal anyone’s husband.
“The show must go on, you just keep it movin,” Pulliam concluded on air.
“This isn’t the final destination – it’s a pit stop. No more tears, I’m laughing all the way from this point and enjoying life.”
After recording the podcast, Pulliam shared the following photo on Instagram and wrote a note of gratitude to her supporters.
Just taking a moment to be present, relax & be grateful… As my late Uncle Gene would say, “Just coolin my heals!”.
Thank you to all who have reached out to send love, support & encouragement… My village is more amazing than I could ever dream of!! Stuff happens… But “The show must go on!”.
My new podcast on #KandidlyKeshia is up now. On to new beginnings!!
Here’s a look, meanwhile, at what has happened to other cast members on The Cosby Show.
They haven’t exactly had the best luck over the years…
Taylor Swift: Is She Voting For Donald Trump?!
Just before Hillary Clinton accepted her party’s nomination at the Democratic National Convention last night, another wildly famous and influential woman took the stage.
Sure, Katy Perry isn’t exactly a major figure in the world of American politics, but she’s the most-followed person on Twitter and one of the most recognizable women in the world.
Perry taking the stage to endorse Hillary made the GOP’s use of Z-list celebs like Scott Baio and Antonio Sabato, Jr. seem even more ridiculous in contrast.
But it’s possible that the folks who put together the RNC’s baffling guest list weren’t the only ones stewing as they watched Hillary’s star-studded coronation.
At this point the feud between Perry and Taylor Swift is one of the most notorious in Hollywood.
It’s dragged on for years, inspired hit diss tracks, and prompted more than a few amusingly shady tweets.
While she has many celebrity foes, Katy is the closest thing that Taylor has to an arch-nemesis.
So it’s possible that despite her commitment to feminism (though it’s worth noting that she’s been described as a “fake feminist” by other young female celebs), Taylor may not have tuned in to witness one of the most important moments in the history of American women.
Add to that the fact that Swift has some indirect ties to the Trump family, and it’s enough to make you wonder whom the iconic singer will be casting a ballot for in November.
As you may know, Taylor’s best friend is Victoria’s Secret model Karlie Kloss.
What you probably weren’t aware of is that for the past four years, Kloss has been dating Joshua Kushner, brother of Ivanka Trump’s husband, Jared Kushner.
Kushner spoke at the RNC last week, making it clear that he’s no silent bystander in his father-in-law’s rise to power.
Obviously, we have no way of knowing if Swift’s relationships with Kloss and Kushner have influenced her political leanings, but it’s interesting that while her high-profile friends like Lena Dunham have come out in full-throated support of Hillary, Swift has remained conspicuously silent.
Trump and Swift may not be the likeliest allies, but the real estate mogul has expressed his fondness for the singer in the past…
…and it’s possible the two of them have an “enemy of my enemy is my friend” understanding going on.
It’s tough to imagine Swift actually voting for a candidate who’s been so openly misogynistic throughout his career – but you can bet she won’t be voicing an endorsement for Hillary any time soon.
12 Most Fiery Feuds in Teen Mom History
This may be hard to believe, but the women at the center of Teen Mom are not exactly the most stable individuals on the planet.
As a result, they"ve often argued with their kids… with each other… with their significant others… and with their family members.
But which feuds featured on this MTV reality franchise have been the most explosive? We"re so very glad you asked:
1. Porn Goodness Sake!
Farrah Abraham was not part of the OG cast when the core four returned to MTV. When she did finally come back halfway through the season, Maci Bookout threatened to quit. “I don’t judge Farrah or dislike her, but Bentley’s in kindergarten,” she explained of the sex tape maven. “So kids already ask him about being on TV. And now it’s like, ‘Oh, is your mom the one who did a sex tape? Is your mom the one who did a porn?"” After Farrah confronted her, Maci walked away, referring to Farrah as a “dog.”
2. Ryan Edwards FTW!
Bookout’s baby daddy, Ryan Edwards, could not remain quiet after Abraham slammed his ex on Twitter. “I think when you take dick in your ass, you shouldn’t be able to talk to anyone,” he incredible wrote.
3. Talk About Poor Choices!
Remember when Abraham and Catelynn Lowell were best friends? Until the former explained how she was “very sad” to see her and Tyler Baltierra “make poor choices” by having a second child after placing their first daughter up for adoption. “Poor choices?” Baltierra shot back. “I don’t recall making a porn to support my child lol.”
4. Everyone Versus Farrah!
Another time, Lowell mentioned how Abraham dissed them for not putting their kids on the cover of their books. “It’s a slap in the face when you’re coming at us on Twitter,” Amber Portwood said, as Abraham responded. “There’s no passive aggressiveness, I noticed something, and I voiced it.”
5. It’s Getting Ugly
Lowell and Abraham went at it once more when Abraham said her colleague has a “weight issue,”” to which Lowell replied: “Go ahead call me on my weight issues when u see me next time I’ll look way hotter than u so get a life. At least I work to look good. I don’t waste my money on plastic surgery!”
6. Snapchat Seen ‘Round the World
During an alcohol-fueled evening, Lowell, Portwood and Bookout went after Abraham on Snapchat. “We be stuntin on hoes,” Portwood said, as Lowell toasted: “To Farrah, that f**king hoe b***h. Amen to that b***h!”
