Tom Sandoval Attacks Female Journalist for Daring To Have an Opinion

Oh, how the moderately mighty have fallen. Once a popular and motivated member of the Vanderpump Rules family, and now struggling to repair a now heavily-tarnished image.

But what we aren’t going to do, Tom Sandoval is attack more women. I would say Tom has reached his quota until about 2027 whilst attempting to defend himself from a massive community of females rallying around Ariana Madix. Hey baby, this is fame, this is what you wanted.

A large population has become invested in Scandoval, due to the subject matter and sheer audacity of its players. Celebrities have commented. Fans have literally driven it. And as the drama plays out in the media, writers share their thoughts as well. Because … it’s their job.

Stephanie McNeal, an Editor over at Glamour, wrote a piece on Tom. It didn’t detail his lack of moral compass or question his choice of footwear. Stephanie was more concerned about what Tom has done to white nail polish lovers across the nation. And that, my friends, is what really set him off.

It’s not about the polish

The low go lower, I guess. After the article published, Sandoval took to his Insta Stories to call Stephanie out by name and question her integrity as a writer. Really sir? He reduced himself to posting screenshots of her Instagram page and asking how she could possibly call herself a “Journalist.”

On one of the photos Tom shared this hot take, “With writing such a disgusting trashy hateful & bias article, how can u dare call urself a ‘Journalist’? ‘Rein’ [sic] of terror? I’m a human being and u don’t know me.” Wow. So much to work with here. I wonder if he wrote this on a 2001 Nokia Flip phone. Again Tom went on a television show and swang his wang around and no one is supposed to write about it? That’s not how any of this works.

Let’s play, how dare you call yourself a Scientist

Tom continued berating Stephanie by posting the definition of a journalist’s role. He highlighted “researching and writing informational news” as if he just ate. Which one of you is going to tell him the definition of “singer” is someone who can hold a note? Also the definition of “actor” would be a person with the ability to emote true feelings on camera.

It seems Tom is indeed going through troubling times, and we never want anyone to excessively suffer. But if the results of massive ratings and finally achieving a higher level of notoriety cause him to pounce on those writing about the downfall he caused, it might be time for a break.

Surely he didn’t mean to have such a visceral reaction to an article about white nail polish. And Tom will hopefully apologize to Stephanie for his outburst. Because a writer is probably not someone you want to piss off.

You can see Tom and his white nail polish on Part 2 of the Vanderpump Rules Season 10 reunion. It airs May 31, at 9/8c on Bravo.

TELL US – DO YOU THINK TOM REGRETS PUTTING THE JOURNALIST ON BLAST? WHY WOULD TOM GET SO UPSET OVER AN ARTICLE ABOUT NAIL POLISH?

‘Desperate’ Kim Zolciak Reportedly ‘Begging’ Bravo For Reality TV Job After Divorce News

When it comes to Kim Zolciak and reality TV, she’s like the Terminator: she’ll always “be back.” Strangely, it appears as though she is having some trouble when it comes to Bravo picking her up for another outing. This in the midst of her divorce drama with Kroy Biermann, who has accused her of having a hefty gambling problem. Bank statements were even leaked, showing crypto purchases that can supposedly be linked to online casinos.

Is Kim returning to Real Housewives of Atlanta?

Right now, nobody can say for sure whether or not Kim will be returning to Real Housewives of Atlanta. It’s where she started on Bravo, and she is making a guest appearance in the current season. Becoming full-time again, however, is a whole different story.

You would think that if Bravo were interested, they would have sent cameras round her shared home with Kroy by now. That would probably mean Kroy would have to also signoff on being filmed, though. We can’t imagine he is too desperate to have his divorce play out any more publicly than it already is.

According to RadarOnline’s sources, “Kim knows how to make great reality TV – and not much else – which is why she’s begging them to take her back! She needs the money. She needs a job. She’s desperate!” How accurate these claims are is anybody’s guess.

Andy Cohen isn’t an idiot. If Kim really was “begging” to come back, he would make it happen. It feels as though the ship has already sailed on that opportunity. Perhaps a tell-all interview, with a hefty price tag is where Kim will make her cash? Only time will tell.

Basketball Wives Star Brittish Williams Pleads Guilty to 15 Felonies

Another one bites the dust

Basketball Wives cast member Brittish Williams pleaded guilty on Wednesday, May 24, 2023, to 15 federal felonies and confessed to committing tax fraud, bank fraud, insurance fraud, and three separate pandemic fraud schemes. 

Brittish joined the Basketball Wives: LA cast during Season 3 in 2011. At the time, she was engaged to lesser-known basketball player Lorenzo Gordon. Although she was fired from the series after one season, her time on the show wasn’t without conflict. She had run-ins with outspoken cast members such as Malaysia Pargo and Brandi Maxiell then, and when she returned to the series in 2022, their issues remained. 

According to multiple reports, production for Season 11 of the series will commence soon. Although fans won’t see Brittish return to the Basketball Wives court, they can expect to see her in a court, at least. 

Brittish collected over $400,000 in fraud money

According to a report from the Eastern District of Missouri, Brittish pleaded guilty in front of a judge to five counts of misuse of a Social Security number, four counts of bank fraud, three counts of making false statements to the IRS, and three counts of wire fraud. 

“British Williams has admitted an unusually large number of frauds that victimized taxpayers, banks, credit card companies, individuals, and programs that were intended to help struggling businesses and employees during the COVID-19 pandemic,” U.S. Attorney Sayler A. Fleming said. 

“This is a first step towards justice for those victims. We will also be seeking repayment of all of her ill-gotten gains.” 

Based on statements in the press release, Brittish admitted to under-reporting her income on tax returns from 2017-2019 while also falsely claiming her niece and nephew as dependents to avoid nearly $30,000 in taxes owed. 

The soon-to-be prison bae fraudulently used Social Security numbers not assigned to her to open accounts with credit lenders and banks, which resulted in a $28,537 loss to the creditors she failed to pay back. 

Furthermore, Williams used those fraudulently acquired SSNs to open different bank accounts to deposit “thousands of dollars worth of checks taken from other peoples’ accounts without their knowledge,” producing almost $24,000 in losses. 

Additionally, Brittish pleaded guilty to three pandemic fraud charges and one insurance-related charge. The former Basketball Wives star submitted nine applications for Economic Injury Disaster Loans, four Paycheck Protection Program loans, and one rent relief program loan in California. The plea agreement states that Williams used the $144,400 in loans to fund her “personal lifestyle.”

If that wasn’t enough, she also submitted fake medical bills to an insurance company and received close to $140,000 paid to her and her co-conspirators. 

Brittish will face sentencing on August 23, 2023. She faces up to five years in prison for each of the Social Security related charges, 30 years in prison for the bank fraud charges, and 20 years for the wire fraud charges.

Khloé Kardashian Opens up on Struggles Connecting With Son Born via Surrogate

Khloé Kardashian of The Kardashians is speaking to her recent experience with surrogacy. Good for her for normalizing the conversation and shedding light to her experience. Admittedly though, it’s currently a sad one.

Surrogacy can be controversial for a range of reasons. It’s not even legal everywhere, socially accepted, and can at times be used as a geopolitical tool. However, it’s simple purpose is to bring joy to the world through human life.

She didn’t feel like she was having a baby

Khloé said she didn’t really feel like she was having a baby until she got to the hospital. That sounds fair, but not any different than life as it is. No one feels like they have surgery before they get there. Or mentally preps themselves for a triage situation. She expressed a level of “shock” and “guilt” with surrogacy that she is going to need to work through because she has a baby named Tatum that needs her.

Khloé expressed that the experience felt very “transactional.” She called it a “mind f*ck.” It’s all very real what she is going through, and hopefully she will soon be in a space where she feels like she can move past this.

The Kardashian later admitted to Scott Disick that she does not feel the same connection as she does with daughter, True. Hopefully, this changes over time, because one of the greatest tragedies of life is people convincing themselves they can’t have equal love for all people, even ones they’ve never met. It’s just not true. Pure love doesn’t discriminate or judge. We hope she gets there ASAP.

The Kardashians recently made their way back to TV for Season 3 on Hulu.

90 Day Fiancé, Season 9 Guide: Cast, Couples, and Where Are They Now

It’s now been a year since the 90 Day Fiancé cast of Season 9 aired on TLC, but there is good news when it comes to the fate of many of the featured cast members. The ninth season featured a cast of seven couples, including Kara Bass and Guillermo Rojer, Emily Bieberly and Kobe Blaise, Ariela Weinberg and Biniyam Shibre, Patrick Mendez and Thaís Ramone, Jibri and Miona Bell, Yvette Arellano and Mohamed Abdelhamed, and Bilal Hazziez and Shaeeda Sween. Many of these couples are still together in 2023, though not everyone had a happy ending.

90 Day Fiance, Season 9: Are the Couples Still Together?

As a whole, the 90 Day Fiancé franchise doesn’t have the best relationship success rate. Some couples split during their seasons why others move on to break-up on the follow-up spin-off show 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? However, six of the seven 90 Day Fiancé Season 9 cast couples are still together in 2023, making 90 Day Fiancé Season 9 a successful season for love. 

Where Are Kara Bass and Guillermo Rojer In 2023?

Kara and Guillermo were one of three 90 Day Fiancé Season 9 couples to announce they were expecting at the Tell-All. The duo gave birth to their first child in late 2022 and are now proud parents to baby boy Nicolas Antonio. Kara has embraced social media and enjoys filming content such as get ready with me videos, while her young husband remains more shy. Kara and Guillermo went on to appear on Pillow Talk.

Emily Bieberly and Kobe Blaise Are Thriving

Emily was another 90 Day Fiancé Season 9 cast member who gave birth after the season. The mother of baby Koban had her second child, a daughter named Scarlett, before the Tell-All aired. She and Kobe are currently raising their two children on her parents’ farm. However, Kobe works full time doing quality control for an asphalt company, a title he has held for a while. The two contribute to household bills and chores. Emily and Kobe also went on to appear on Pillow Talk.

Ariela Weinberg and Biniyam Shibre’s Mixed Update

Ariela and Biniyam, parents to young Aviel and 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way regulars, have a more bumpy path since 90 Day Fiance Season 9. The duo has hinted at a split, though Ariela and Biniyam are still together as of May 2023. The couple decided to stay in the US and raise their son, which appeared to help their marriage remain intact despite Ariela and Binyam’s past.

Patrick Mendez and Thaís Ramone Had A Baby

Like Kara and Guillermo, Patrick and Thaís welcomed their first child in late 2022. Thaís gave birth to baby Aleesi, which added to her and Patrick’s happy family. The duo ended up moving to Nevada for Patrick’s job. Meanwhile, Thaís has found work as a social media sensation. She now earns money as an influencer and enjoys brand deals. Patrick and his brother John McManus, who he is believed to still be living with, appeared on Pillow Talk. 

Jibri and Miona Bell Are Still Trying To Make It Big

Jibri and Miona are a controversial 90 Day Fiancé Season 9 couple. The duo faced a dramatic season as they clashed with Jibri’s mother, who they ended up becoming estranged with after filming. However, Miona achieved her dreams of moving to a big city in California. The Serbian woman launched her own ponytail extension company, Miona Beauty. Jibri and Miona are currently working hard to become famous.

Yvette Arellano and Mohamed Abdelhamed Split

Yve and Mohamed are the one 90 Day Fiancé Season 9 couple who did not make it. They broke up at the time of the Tell-All due to Mohamed cheating on Yve. The duo didn’t get back together after this, as they instead made allegations against each other leading up to them both going absolutely silent as they filed for divorce.

Bilal Hazziez and Shaeeda Sween’s Baby Drama

Bilal and Shaeeda continued in the 90 Day Fiancé franchise after Season 9, as they starred on Happily Ever After? Season 7. On the spin-off show, they butted heads over Shaeeda wanting to have a child while Bilal didn’t want more kids. However, at the Tell-All, he agreed to help Shaeeda have her first child. Sadly, the couple experienced a miscarriage since. They are still together and are trying to have a child.
