Love and Hip Hop Atlanta Recap: Who"s Your Daddy?!

On Monday’s season premiere, Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta Season 6 Episode 1 saw Stevie J and Joseline at odds … big shocker there.


As the pair battled it out over the paternity of Joseline’s child, would tensions between them boil over, or would they find common ground?



If you watch Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta online, you know that Stevie J and Joseline Hernandez don’t always see eye to eye about everything.


Or much of anything, to be honest, especially lately.


Well, she’s six months pregnant with a baby girl and about to be a first-time mom. She’s absolutely glowing and that’s the good news.


The bad news? Stevie J doesn’t think he’s the dad.


According to the producer, his longtime partner’s been hanging around with a lot of different dudes, so “how’s a good guy to know the truth?”


Or Stevie J, for that matter.


Now, Joseline doesn’t buy that for a second, accusing Stevie J of disavowing the baby and demanding a DNA test to prove he’s the dad.



“Maybe this will get your attention Stevie,” she said.


“Ignore me all you want too, but not your baby.”


Now, as for her collaborator Young Dro, from their joint musical effort, “Pop Dat,” Joseline said it’s all about making money, not babies.


“He’s a real artist, we’ve come out with new music and I want everyone to hear it,” Hernandez said of Young Dro, the new cast member.


Somehow we get the feeling there’s more to it.


Speaking of sometime lovers and sworn enemies, Yung Joc and Karlie Redd are back on and can’t keep their hands off of each other.


He calls her an “addiction [he] just can’t seem to kick. We’re just having fun. I’m not trying to be serious with Karlie! I’m just trying to smash.”



Always good to be up front about that sort of thing.


The problem is he’s more up front with the VH1 camera crew than with Karlie herself, as she’s pressuring him about getting serious: 


“Where we at? Are we getting in a relationship?”


Redd is willing to overlook his past (like railing Khadiyah Lewis) if she gets an apology for it, since he clearly wants her “in the worst way.”


We’ll see how that plays out in the weeks ahead.


Meanwhile, Mimi Faust, Ariane Davis, Rasheeda Buckner-Frost, Tammy Rivera and newcomer Melissa Scott meet up and catch up.


Mimi is still into women, but admits the “timing was never right” for a relationship with Melissa (who happens to be tight with Joseline).



Rasheeda talks about how Kirk Frost has issues with the way she handles her career and home life, and that they have marital problems.


That would be putting things pretty mildly.


At Joseline’s masquerade party, Karlie spies on Young Joc by wearing a mask, and in doing so, sees him talking to Jasmine Washington.


After some interrogation, we learn that Jasmine just had a baby, which she alleges is actually Kirk’s love child. Oh yes, this happened.


“I know he hasn’t told his wife and his baby,” Jasmine says, and when confronted, Kirk tells Rasheeda that obviously it’s all lies immediately.


For the moment, it looks like this is going to blow over, but she’s clearly suspicious that there’s more to it, and it could be just the beginning.



Finally, Tommie Lee is trying to change her life since her man Scrapp Deleon went to jail, she lost friends and started drinking too much.


That would be a lot to handle for anyone, it’s true.


Her efforts to live up to her full potential leave a lot to be desired, however, as Tommie tells Stevie that Joseline got a restraining order.


On her. Stevie tries to defend Tommie by going to tell the cops that it’s a misunderstanding, but law enforcement has its reasons here.


Police allegedly have a video of her threatening to hurt Joseline, and Tommie’s been down this road before, so it’s not a good situation.


Once she puts these legal issues behind her, she swears she’s going to turn over a new leaf and act like a lady. Good luck with that.

Beyonce Fans to Emma Watson: You"re a Hypocrite!

Beyonce may be the most popular singer on the planet.


Emma Watson may be the most popular young actress on the planet.


So here’s a sentence we never thought we’d write:


Beyonce and Emma Watson are engaged in a pretty intense feud. Sort of.



To be far more accurate, fans of Beyonce are engaged in a pretty intense feud with Watson, although even this statement is not entirely fair.


Fans of Beyonce are simply angry at the Beauty and the Beast star. She hasn’t said a negative word in response to their criticism.


Said criticism stems from Watson’s recent topless spread in Vanity Fair, as Watson posed for the magazine without a bra or almost anything at all covering her boobs.


It was an unexpected move by Watson, who is not exactly someone we usually think of when it comes to risque photographs.


As you can see below, however, the picture in question is tasteful and not really all that revealing:



Still.


Because the Internet is a terrible place, many users jumped all over the beloved British star, claiming she can’t say in one interview that she’s a feminist, as she’s done often…


… and then turn around the next second and take her shirt off in such a public manner.


Made aware of this line of thinking, Watson lashed out at such small-minded critics.


“Feminism is about giving women choice,” she says in the video below. “Feminism is not a stick with which to beat other women with. It’s about freedom, it’s about liberation, it’s about equality.


“I really don’t know what my tits have to do with it.”


Watch Watson’s full response to this controversy below:



This brings us back to Beyonce supporters, however.


They are NOT angry at Watson for posing topless. They don’t believe this act makes her a hypocrite on its own.


However, three years ago, in a 2014 interview with Wonderland Magazine, the actress seemingly took issue with a particular brand of feminism Beyonce practiced in her 2013 visual album.


Watson said the following back when about Beyonce being all sexy and seductive for this album:


As I was watching [the videos] I felt very conflicted, I felt her message felt very conflicted in the sense that on the one hand she is putting herself in a category of a feminist, but then the camera, it felt very male, such a male voyeuristic experience of her.



Having seen these past comments, loyal members of the BeyHive fans have begun to flood Emma’s Instagram account with bee emojis and harsh words.


“Emma Watson isn’t a hypocrite b/c she’s a feminist and shows her breasts, she’s a hypocrite b/c she criticized Beyoncé for the same thing,” wrote one Beyonce fan.


Ouch.


Are these remarks fair, due to Watson’s former stance on Beyonce? Or are the situations very different?






Neither Watson nor Beyonce has issued a statement in response to this growing controversy.


Where do you stand? Do you think Watson violated some kind of feminist ethos with the photo above? Should she apologize?


Or do you agree with her take on this silly non-scandal, that women ought to be free to choose how they are portrayed?


And, come on, you can’t even see her breasts here!

Teen Mom 2 Recap: Is Javi Marroquin a Home-Invading Psycho!?

Monday on Teen Mom 2, Jenelle and Barbara Evans’ feud came to a head, as did ongoing tensions between Kailyn Lowry and Javi Marroquin.


Big surprise on both fronts, we know.



When Teen Mom 2 Season 8 Episode 10 got underway, Kailyn’s entire storyline focused around fighting with her ex-husband, as usual.


If you watch Teen Mom 2 online, you won’t see any of the biggest drama, because it happened when the film crew wasn’t there for it.


We got to hear her talking about it, though, and talk about it she did, describing how “psycho” Javi broke into her house in a fit of rage.


His goal? Ransacking her place to see if anyone was living there with her. His version of events, told later to friends, was a bit different.


He was going over there to pick up the kids, he said, though he acknowledged hopping a fence and breaking in, for reasons unknown.


In any case, as the cops told Kail, there’s not a lot they can do with those accounts and considering the house is technically still his too.



As we all know by now, Kailyn Lowry is pregnant again, and Javi Marroquin is not happy about it, providing an interesting subtext here.


We didn’t know this at the time this was filmed, but watching these events, you can see why Kailyn got a protective order against Javi.


Lowry’s friend Sterling backed up her side of events to producers (JC Cueva among them), calling Javi’s behavior scary and terrifying.


Even Jo Rivera, who was staying neutral between Javi and Kail, felt he crossed a line by scaring son Isaac with the breaking and entering.


Jo was clearly onto something, as Javi’s behavior – whatever and however he wants to say about it – is clearly impacting Kailyn’s kids.


A few days later, when Kailyn showed up to get Lincoln, her son with Javi, and Javi wouldn’t let him go, leading to a fight in the driveway.



In less insane news, Chelsea Houska got one of “those fake babies in home ec” for her fiancé, Cole, and daughter, Aubree, to practice with.


Yes, that’s what Houska’s storylines have become.


She’s so pulled together that producers have to manufacture reasons to keep her on camera, which if you think about it, is quite a compliment.


Meanwhile, Leah Messer was considering going back to beauty school, which she attended once, but failed to finish that first time.


The program director was more than willing to welcome her back, but pursuing her education takes time, which she has little of.


Fortunately, it doesn’t look like Leah is pregnant with her fourth child, but she’s got three kids by two exes, and a lot on her plate.



In Jenelle Evans’ world, the Teen Mom 2 terror vowed to be “civil” with her mother Barbara this week, but ended up at odds with her.


Big surprise there, right? She told fiance David Eason that if her mom kept fighting her over custody, she’d become “more distant than ever.”


She was true to her word, for what that’s worth (a lot of awkwardness), as Jenelle escalated their ensuing conversation into a shouting match.


Her son, Jace, sat there looking uncomfortable in what must be a sadly familiar situation for him as Jenelle went at his grandma and guardian.


Accusing her own mother of only being interested in screen time, Jenelle ripped MTV’s camera from her car’s dashboard in a fit of rage.


Barb ended up storming off, promising that if she got custody, Jenelle would have limited visitation … why can’t these two just get along?!

Kailyn Lowry: Check Out My Baby Bump!!!

Kailyn Lowry is yet to reveal the identity of her baby daddy.


But the Teen Mom cast member did go ahead on Monday night and give social media followers their first true look at her baby bump.


And that’s almost as exciting, right? Right?!?


Okay, wrong. But still. Scroll down for a very clear snapshot of Lowry’s growing belly…



The MTV reality star confirmed her third pregnancy on February 23, following many months of speculation over the state of her womb.


Yesterday evening, Kailyn posed backstage alongside colleague Leah Calvert prior to the pair appearing on this week’s Teen Mom 2 after-show.


“Catch us LIVE tonight after the all new episode of #teenmom2 tonight,” Lowry wrote as a caption to the following image of herself and Calvert.


As you’re about to see, Kailyn looks pretty darn happy in the photo; a giant smile plastered on her face and her blonde hair tousled around her face.


Lowry is dressed in your basic, comfortable mother-to-be ensemble: black yoga pants, a casual black sweatshirt and an olive green top.



A week ago, Lowry appeared on this same Teen Mom 2 special and refused to answer questions about her third child’s father.


“I’m not going to talk about that. [I’m] not ready yet,” the 24-year old star said at the time, although she did say last Monday that she’s 17 weeks along.


(So she’s now 18 weeks along, nearly halfway there, and is due at some point in early August or late July.)


Kailyn says she was forced to announce the pregnancy news after certain people close to her leaked details to the press.


Clearly upset over how this became public knowledge, Lowry insisted that she gave the decision real thought and decided that she wanted to bring one more life into this world.


“Please know this was a choice I made,” Kailyn wrote on her blog last month. “I already know some won’t agree, but I’ve been showered with support by the ones I love since I found out.”


That’s great and all.


But most folks are wondering who made love to Lowry in order to create this baby.



Was it ex-husband Javi Marroquin, who is the father of three-year old Lincoln?


It seems highly unlikely, considering the terrible terms these two are on following their contentious divorce.


Was it Tyler Hill, some dude Kailyn supposedly slept with while Javi was away on his latest deployment with the U.S. Air Force?


Some who watch Teen Mom 2 online and/or have followed the troubled life of these young women believe so.


Was it J.C. Cueva, a Teen Mom 2 producer who has reportedly been involved in a romance with Kailyn and who would definitely get fired if this information came to light?


Possibly.


Was it Chris Lopez, a long-time friend of Lowry’s who shared a few mysterious Tweets over the past few months that appeared to make reference to Lowry’s baby?


He’s another possibility.


Earlier in the month, Lowry posted a couple screen shots from a Snapchat video that also depicted her beautiful baby bump.


These images were not nearly as high-resolutioned as the picture above, but one of them is still worth a look/click:



“The father is a friend Kail was briefly dating,” a rep for the mother of two (so far) previously said.


This rep added:


“This was Kail’s choice and she is 100 percent happy. Kail can’t wait to welcome the new addition to her family this summer.


“We don’t know how involved the father will be. Kail will release that information when she’s ready.”


Until then, questions will linger and the rumor mill will churn. Hard and fast.


Sort of like the way the penis on Lowry’s baby daddy likely churned while inside Kailyn.


Who do YOU think impregnated Kailyn Lowry? Tyler Hill, JC Cueva, Chris Lopez or a fourth mystery man?


Do you think she’ll have a boy or a girl? Do you want her to have a boy or a girl?


Sound off below, Teen Mom fans!
