Former Cheer Star Jerry Harris Sentenced To 12 Years In Federal Prison After Pleading Guilty To Charges Of Sexual Abuse And Child Pornography

Netflix’s docuseries Cheer debuted in January of 2020 and the show following the competitive world of cheerleading quickly became a hit. And no one was more beloved on the show than Jerry Harris. The always positive cheerleader was so popular, he nabbed a correspondent gig for the Oscars.

But by September of 2020, Jerry’s star was tarnished and he quickly fell from grace. Two teenage brothers sued Jerry, alleging that he solicited sex and nude photos from them. They were 13 years old at the time of the incident. Later that week, Jerry was arrested on suspicion of child pornography. Then three months later, a seven-count indictment was issued against him. The indictment accused Jerry of multiple sexual criminal acts across multiple states. They acts all involving minors. He pleaded not guilty to all counts.

Now People is reporting that Jerry was sentenced to 12 years in federal prison. His sentence comes after changing his plea to guilty on 2 of the 7 counts. Jerry appeared in court for the sentencing and was joined by close family and friends. Once Jerry serves his 12 years, he is ordered to complete 8 years of court-supervised release.

Prosecutors wanted Jerry to serve 15 years, NBC News reported. They alleged that he used “his status as a competitive cheerleader, his social media persona, and eventually his celebrity and money” to convince minor boys to send him sexually inappropriate photos and messages. Prosecutors also argued that Jerry proclaimed himself to be “mentor who could be trusted.” And that he paid his victims for sexual conduct. If they declined, he allegedly “threatened to disseminate the videos they had sent if they refused to continue.”

Jerry’s legal team requested a more lenient sentence of 6 years. They pointed to the fact that Jerry suffered sexual abuse himself. They claim that he was also underage at the time of his abuse, which caused him to have a “skewed version of what he understood to be appropriate relationships.” Jerry’s lawyers have not yet responded for comment.

In accordance with the plea deal with prosecutors, the other 5 charges were dropped, The New York Times reported. Back when he changed his plea, Jerry defense team told People about his decision to plead guilty. They stated he did it “because he wishes to take responsibility for his actions and publicly convey his remorse for the harm he has caused the victims in this case.”

His team added, “Jerry is a 22-year-old young man whose story can only be understood through the lens of the extreme poverty, sexual abuse, and neglect of his childhood. Jerry was himself exploited, manipulated, and sexually abused as a child within the cheer community in a way that perversely made him believe that this sexual conduct was somehow normal when it was not.”

See Who Is Part Of The Rumored Cast For Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip Season 3

We are only a few episodes into the second installment of Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip. Set at Dorinda Medley’s Blue Stone Manor, the women of RHUGT Ex-Wives Club have steadily delivered their own special brand of drama. While I didn’t originally enjoy it as much as RHUGT season 1, the last episode won me over. And I would be remiss if I didn’t mention one of the funniest moments across any franchise EVER.

When Phaedra Parks comforted an upset Brandi Glanville for fighting with Dorinda. Phaedra told Brandi that she shouldn’t be fighting with Dorinda because she’s old enough to be her “momma.” Brandi told her that Dorinda is only 5 years older, to which the two dissolved into giggles as a shocked Phaedra said “my bad.” Cut to the bartender serving them drinks barely containing his laughter. I haven’t laughed that hard at Housewives in forever.

Well, more is coming. Radar Online is reporting on the new rumored cast for season 3, which will supposedly be set in Thailand. You know Vicki Gunvalson has to be pissed that she got stuck at Blue Stone instead. I guess she should have held out a little longer.

Again, I’m going to emphasize that nothing has been confirmed and these are still rumors. But these are the ladies that have been circulating amongst sources. And we are sensing another theme here – franchise partners! I don’t know if I would go as far as saying franchise besties, but casting got pretty close.

First up are Real Housewives of Potomac stars Gizelle Bryant and Candiace Dillard-Bassett. With Gizelle’s heavy shade and Candiace’s no holds barred manner of fighting, they are sure to make RHUGT interesting. Then we have Real Housewives of Salt Lake City cousins, Heather Gay and Whitney Rose. While I do enjoy Heather, Whitney brings little to the table for me. She’s been fighting for scraps of just one argument on RHOSLC and never gets anywhere. Maybe she will have better luck in a different setting but I’m not hopeful. At least she will be fun, right?

Next up are the revived ladies of Real Housewives of Miami. Longtime besties Alexia Echevarria and Marysol Patton supposedly made the cut. I can’t stand Marysol but I would watch just about anything Alexia is in. Anything. Finally, looks like Real Housewives of New York stars will reunite in the form of Leah McSweeney and Tinsley Mortimer. While Leah is high drama for sure, I’m not sure how I feel about Tinsdale being thrown into this environment. She’s fresh off a broken engagement, so maybe she can work out her anger on the show. But I worry she will be bulldozed by the larger personalities and Leah isn’t exactly the best ally for anyone. Regardless, I do love my Tinsley!

Production is also rumored to be starting this month, possibly within the next week. I will be anxiously watching all the Housewives’ social medias to see if they tease a trip. No matter who is announced, I’m going to watch. Andy Cohen once famously said (and I’m paraphrasing) that doing Housewives All-Stars shows would be the death of Real Housewives. But to me, it’s bringing desperately needed new life (and drama) to a reality tv institution. Happy watching!

Real Housewives of Atlanta Mid-Season Trailer Is Here: It’s All About Shereé Whitfield

Come on now, please don’t say that Shereé Whitfield is facing even more fashion show problems.

I mean we cannot forget back in 2009 when Shereè of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, held the infamous “fashion show with no fashions.” The Cleveland-native-turned-Atlanta-get-it-girl debuted as one of the original cast members back at the inception of the show, and across the years the only thing that she has spent more time “being checked for” than her home Chateau Sheree’ is her fashion line- She By Sheree.

As shared by E! News, the Season 14 RHOA mid-season trailer has been released and from the looks of things, it does not disappoint. There’s some drama between Drew Sidora and Sanya Richards-Ross and more to the whole riff going on between Kandi Burruss, Kenya Moore, and Marlo Hampton. Drew is still tugging on Sheree’s joggers with the money stuff. But most importantly, in the trailer we can see it is finally showtime for the release of Sheree’s She By Sheree collection.

“He does not have the number of pieces he said he was gonna have,” someone reluctantly breaks it to Shereé at the very moment the fashions are being loaded into the event. Undoubtedly, Shereé is not having it at all. “Are you f*cking kidding me,” she unloads. “This cannot be another one of those f*cking times.”

The official bone-collector of RHOA pleads, “I got so much riding on this.” All while her co-stars throw all kinds of shade. First up, in comes Kenya, “all of Atlanta is waiting for this show…She By She better not disappoint.” Some shade from Drew, “She By She better have something to show for it.” Then Kandi chimes in with, “She By She better really do it this time.”

Aside from the fashion show fiasco, Shereé also finally sees her ex-boyfriend Tyrone Gilliams for the first time after he stood her up in Philadelphia. We see her confronting him with, “no nothing? …I was f*cking humiliated!” Shereé isn’t the only one catching it this season. We see Kandi and Marlo arguing multiple times. After Marlo insults Kandi’s husband Todd Tucker, Kandi snaps back with, “Get a husband and then you can tell me what to do with one.” Fast forwarding to another argument between the two, we see Kandi remind Marlo that “I’m not Michelle Obama. You go low, I go low with you.”

Tyrone, Apollo Nida, Peter Thomas, Bob Whitfield and the guest of honor- Dwight Eubanks! Shereé is really bringing everyone out the woodwork for this fashion show. We can see Lisa Wu, and did we see Deshawn Snow too? This is indeed a dramatic culmination of Sheree’s entire She by Sheree legacy- and I’m here for it.  I mean, this trailer is giving all kinds of peach realness!

Check out the mid-season super trailer for yourself to see all that is to come on Season 14.  The Real Housewives of Atlanta airs Sundays on Bravo.

 

TELL US – WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE TRAILER? DO YOU THINK THAT SHEREE WILL FINALLY PULL OFF THE RELEASE OF SHE BY SHEREE? DO YOU THINK THAT MARLO HAS EARNED HER PEACH THIS SEASON? ARE YOU TEAM SHEREE OR TEAM DREW? WHO IS BEING THE MESSIEST THIS SEASON?

Kourtney Kardashian Slams Paparazzi For Selling Pictures Of Her Amid Husband Travis Barker’s Hospitalization

It’s Kourtney Kardashian against the paparazzi. The super-famous family have had a long standing, love/hate symbiotic relationship with photographers. But after the recent hospitalization of her husband Travis Barker, Kourtney is slamming them for selling misleading pictures of her.

As reported by Entertainment Online, The Kardashians star took to her Instagram Stories to express her anger. Kourtney wrote, “And to the paparazzi who sold pictures of me ‘out and about’ while my husband was in the hospital fighting for his life…these photos were actually taken weeks ago, (I can’t even remember the last time I wore that sweatsuit in the photos)….I didn’t forget about you.” She concluded, “A new level of low, monetizing off our of our nightmare. Really savagely uncool when I actually didn’t leave his side…shame you.”

That same day, she opened up about Travis’ medical scare and her appreciation for their well-wishers. She wrote in her Stories, “Oh what a scary and emotional week it has been. Our health is everything and sometimes we take for granted how quickly it can change. Travis and I went in for a routine endoscopy together and he ended up with severe, life-threatening pancreatitis.” Kourtney added, “I am so grateful to God for healing my husband, for all of your prayers for him and for us, for the overwhelming outpouring of love and support. I am so touched and appreciative.”

Travis also shared details about his ordeal. He explained in his Stories, “I went in for an endoscopy Monday feeling great. But After dinner, I developed excruciating pain and I have been hospitalized ever since. During the endoscopy, I had a very small polyp removed right in the very sensitive area, usually handled by specialists, which unfortunately damaged a critical pancreatic drainage tube. This resulted in severe life threatening pancreatitis.”

Photos of the newlyweds arriving at West Hills hospital surfaced on June 28th. He was later transferred to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center by ambulance. A source shared, “Travis was sick and had intense pain in his abdomen and it really concerned him and Kourtney. They called 911 and he was rushed to the hospital. After speaking with Travis and running several tests, doctors said Travis is suffering from pancreatitis.”

90 Day Fiancé Recap: The Elephant In The Womb

Last night’s episode of 90 Day Fiance was full of surprises. It’s crazy how so many of these couples every season just ignore all the red flags. Despite all of the entertainment and drama it provides, I actually feel a little sorry for them. It has to be extremely hard to leave everything and everyone you know and only have a short time to get married and assimilate to a new life. But that is not to say some of the responsibility isn’t on them. It doesn’t seem like most of these couples actually discussed and agreed on some of the most important things before they applied for their K-1 Visa.

Emily takes a pregnancy test.  Patrick demands that Thais tell her dad the truth. Guillermo gets cold feet. Shaeeda questions Bilal‘s motives behind asking for a prenup. Mohamed issues an ultimatum to Yvette. Miona tells Jibri‘s mom they are eloping. Let’s get straight to the recap.

Patrick, 31 (Austin, Texas) and Thais, 25 (Brazil)

Thais meets with friends she met at the housewarming party to vent about her relationship with Patrick. She is struggling with whether or not she made the right decision to get married/She feels like because he is the breadwinner, he thinks nothing of making decisions without her. Her friends encourage her to be direct with him in order to have a say in their future plans. Despite them being on her side initially, they are shocked to hear Thais still hasn’t told her father she is getting married.

Thais confronts Patrick on making all the decisions for their wedding. He reassures her he isn’t trying to do everything; in fact it is beginning to take a toll on him. He claims he has only made the calls to vendors because of her English. He also questions if she even cares about a ceremony since she still refuses to inform her father of it. This seems like it can be easily fixed. When Patrick makes calls, he can include her and translate if necessary. Thais, can stop being passive aggressive and attempt to act like an adult and tell her dad the truth.

Emily, 29 (Salina, Kansas) and Kobe, 34 (Cameroon)

Emily shocks Kobe when she tells him that she is late on her period. They make a mad dash to a pharmacy for a test, only to find out that she is indeed pregnant. Obviously the timing isn’t the best considering they are still trying to get on their feet. Also, Emily’s parents requested that this was the one thing they don’t do when Kobe first came to America. Sigh! Emily’s solution is to hide her pregnancy from everyone, until they are forced to reveal it. When Kobe doesn’t immediately appear happy, she is annoyed. It’s clear; he is stressed out because he knows her family will blame him for their predicament.  They also aren’t financially able to raise another child without the help of her family.

Kara, 29 (Charlottesville, Virginia) and Guillermo, 23 (Venezuela)

Kara is in wedding overload now that she and Guillermo have decided to have a larger ceremony. She feels like most of the tasks are falling on her because her fiancé is foreign to the country. Guillermo is willing to help, but the controlling side of Kara has reared its head again. Guillermo’s discussion with his hair stylist only makes him more nervous about Kara’s behavior. He wanted to believe things would change once they were married, but he is now realizing that may not be the case.

Guillermo and Kara go out to dinner where he confronts her on some of their issues. When he asks her if she is willing to change some of the things that he doesn’t like, she is infuriated. She seems more upset that he is bringing this up 2 days before the wedding, than the fact that they even have these problems. Instead of using this as an opportunity to work on things, she just goes off and displays more red flags. Good luck Guillermo!

Bilal, 42 (Kansas City, Missouri) and Shaeeda, 37 (Trinidad and Tobago)

Shaeeda confronts Bilal on his ex-wife’s behavior when they last met. She felt bullied and harassed in her own home. Unfortunately, Bilal doesn’t seem shocked or upset by the conversation. However, he does admit that their prenuptial agreement shouldn’t be discussed outside of them.  Naturally, Shaeeda is annoyed that he didn’t say anything to reassure her that his ex-wouldn’t overstep again.

Bilal presents Shaeeda with a copy of the preup and she can’t hide that she is hurt. She feels like it represents how hard she will have to work in America to have anything. If they get divorced, she wouldn’t have anything to show for her time with him. She decides to have a lawyer look over the agreement before she signs anything.

Jibri, 28 (Rapid City, South Dakota) and Miona, 23 (Serbia)

Jibri’s mom and Miona have a conversation in hopes of resolving some of their issues. Miona wants to compromise without allowing everyone else’s wishes to dictate her plans. She has agreed to wait a year before having a nice wedding. But she still plans to go out of state to take pictures and elope. After their conversation, Jibri’s mom fills her husband in on the plans and he is disappointed. It seems they didn’t think that Jibri and Miona would still opt to get married. At this point, I think they need to allow their son to grow up and make his own decisions.

Yvette, 48 (Albuquerque, New Mexico) and Mohamed, 25 (Egypt)

Yvette and Mohamed clash on their plans for their wedding.  He wants to get married sooner in a mosque, while Yvette is holding out for the perfect venue. He is in a rush to get married so that he can finally have the freedoms his green card will provide. But she isn’t concerned about them having to wait just a little while longer, if it will result in them having a beautiful wedding.

The next morning, Mohamed issues an ultimatum. He wants her to agree to quickie weddings so that he can get his paperwork done. He threatens to find another sponsor, if she is unable to meet his demands. Yvette is shocked and begins to wonder does Mohamed even truly love her. Honestly, I don’t think these two should be married. There are way too many red flags for them to just expect them to go away once they are married. Is a month delay really going to make that big of a difference in him being able to work in 6 months?

 

 

TELL US: IS MOHAMED JUST OUT FOR A GREEN CARD OR DOES HE JUST WANT TO WORK? SHOULD YVETTE GIVE IN TO HIS ULTIMATUM? ARE JIBRI’S PARENTS TOO INVOLVED? IS PATRICK CONTROLLING OR JUST TRYING TO HELP?

Big Brother 24 Live Feeds: The House Turns Against Taylor

We’re only a few days into the Big Brother 24 game. It feels like it’s been a month. The Big Brother 24 Live Feeds have been busy with alliances forming, targets emerging, and players being ostracized. On Saturday, the Big Brother Live Feeds kicked off with an early Power of Veto Competition.

Big Brother 24 Taylor Hale

Nominee Michael Bruner knew that it was do or die for his Big Brother game. He did what he needed to won the Veto. This forced Head of Household Daniel Durston to need to find a replacement nominee and a potentially new target.

Daniel has a fear of going after the big male physical threats. He doesn’t want to set a precedent this season of picking off big male players because that puts him in jeopardy. He’s also in an alliance with a few of them.

He planned to nominate a woman. He narrowed his choices to either Indy Santos or Taylor Hales. Indy became an option after Brittany Hoopes pointed it out that Indy was more about the fame that the show could bring than actually playing the game and winning money. Daniel also knew that Indy was one of the houseguests whose nomination created the least waves in the house.

Big Brother 24-Matt Turner

Matt Turner proposed the idea of Taylor going up because he said their alliance wanted it. Daniel had already heard Taylor’s name before this because other houseguests mentioned not liking her.

Daniel then had meetings with each houseguest. Some of them, he let give him the names of the players that they thought should be nominated, but for most of his meetings, he told them that he was torn between nominating Indy or Taylor.

Many seemed fine with either going up, but there was definitely more passion for Taylor to be the nominee. After all of his meetings, including with Indy and Taylor, Daniel seemed set on nominating Taylor.

Big Brother 24-Alyssa

Prior to the meetings, Daniel wasn’t going to nominate Taylor. Daniel and Nicole Layog made the decision to nominate Indy because they felt Taylor was a better player for their game. They also decided that with Taylor’s target being so big, she became a shield for them. They also had enough info that if Taylor won HOH, they had so much dirt on everyone else that they wouldn’t be on her radar. They also could leave her for some else to make an eviction priority in later weeks.

After Daniel finished his meetings and the decision seemed set, the Taylor discussion continued. It became a Taylor bashing session that involved many of the houseguests. At one point, Taylor was seen alone crying. It wasn’t clear if she heard some of the things being said about her or whether her emotions were for another reason. Either way, Taylor likely can sense that she’s public enemy number one in the house.

There is still one more full day before the Power of Veto Ceremony, so Taylor could still escape the block on Monday. However for now, with the house firmly against her, it isn’t looking good for her game. However, we still know none of the details of how the Backstage twist could still end up with Alyssa Snider, Paloma Aguilar, or Brittany going home this week.

This long Big Brother 24 premiere week still has a lot of game left.

Hannah Ferrier Responds To Mom-Shamers Who Slammed Her For Returning To TV After Having A Baby

Hannah Ferrier famously parted ways with Below Deck Mediterranean after five seasons as Chief Stew. She was unceremoniously fired by Captain Sandy Yawn for being in possession of a CBD pen and valium while on charter.  And while seemingly bitter about the manner in which she was terminated, Hannah went on to live her best life on land in Sydney, Australia.

Hannah and husband Josh Roberts welcomed daughter Ava in November 2020. Hannah has since been a stay at home mom for the adorable toddler, but still managed to start a podcast called “Dear Reality, You’re Effed,” as well as launch Ocean International Training Academy with former costar Anastasia Surmava.

Recently, Hannah announced a new employment venture that got her a surprising amount of backlash on social media.  It seems the controversy is because the mother of one would be away from home weeks at a time to film a new reality TV show.  And some followers felt the need to voice their concern.

Us Weekly reported on the situation and shared Hannah’s response to the haters. “Seriously. I am so disappointed with the amount of DMs and comments shaming me for working,” she wrote on an Instagram Story. “If a man went to work for a few weeks, no one would think a thing of it – yet I’m a bad mother for paying my bills. It’s 2022 people, get a grip.”

The mom-shaming seemed to get to Hannah, because she returned to social media on Saturday, July 2nd to elaborate further. Via Facebook, the former Bravolebrity wrote, “Honestly guys- please don’t comment and DM that I’m a horrible mother for going to work. We all have different family dynamics and jobs. Mine requires me to leave.  She’s nearly 2 and I’ve had every day with her since she was born. I am very used to social media abuse but questioning a mothers love for her child is taking it a bit too far.  Thank you to all my lovely followers who are supportive of a woman working hard and supporting her family.”

Hannah is currently in her happy place in the Mediterranean filming The Real Love Boat while husband Josh and Ava stayed in Australia. At the time of announcing the project, Hannah wrote, “Hey guys!!! I am bursting with excitement to share with you that I will back on your screens soon! After more than a decade at sea in the Mediterranean I am so excited to join The Real Love Boat and help all our amazing passengers find love! I’m going to be watching them very closely and helping them every step of the way on their journeys to find their perfect match. I am currently filming in the Mediterranean and can’t wait to share with you the journey of our beautiful passengers finding love – not to mention my favourite back drop in the world – the Med#TheRealLoveBoatAU.”

Fans are highly anticipating this project that will combine Hannah’s skills as a Chief Stew and a reality TV star. Below Deck Mediterranean viewers are feeling the void with her absence on the show and it will be interesting to see Hannah work with another captain in this new framework.

Hannah certainly is coming back strong, which has to feel good especially since she has unresolved issues with the woman who forced her to leave reality TV.

The last time Hannah and Sandy had any communication was when the captain reached out to her hoping to send a baby gift.  Hannah said of the incident, “She sent me a message when I announced my pregnancy and asked for an address to send something and I didn’t respond to it. I sometimes feel with her … that she’s not honest with herself. Like she says, like, ‘Oh, it wasn’t personal,’ like,​​ the firing. I was like, ‘It’s kind of funny because Kat [Held] had prescription meds that Captain Lee [Rosbach] had found out about and she didn’t get fired.’ There wasn’t a need to fire me for that. It was a hundred percent personal, but I guess whatever helps you sleep at night.”

Tensions between Hannah and Sandy were apparent for many seasons, and Hannah revealed the toxic environment was there from the start.  “I think sometimes people get confused because I’ve felt this way and thought this way for many, many years, but the only reason I can kind of talk about it now is because I know that I’ll never work with her again,” she explained.

Captain Sandy stands by her position that her hands were tied.  She told Us Weekly last year, “Hannah, she’s got her dream. She’s living her dream. She wanted a baby. Sometimes in my past, I have done things that I wasn’t aware of subconsciously because I wanted out. But my behavior was the way out because I didn’t know how to get out. I kind of feel, like, maybe that was some of her. But I wish her the best.”

Well, Hannah is living her best life.  She is currently filming in the Mediterranean and posting fabulous pictures of the experience to Instagram.

Bachelorette Host Jesse Palmer Teases "Rules Are Gonna Get Broken" This Season

Dr. Lenny Hochstein’s New Girlfriend Claims Lisa Hochstein Made A Fake Instagram To Cyberbully Her

The Hochstein divorce is getting messier and messier by the day, and every second of it needs to be captured for the next season of The Real Housewives of Miami. First, it was a nightclub confrontation between Lisa Hochstein and Dr. Lenny Hochstein’s new girlfriend, Katharina Mazepa. Then, there were accusations of Lisa stalking Lenny from within the walls of their Star Island mansion. Lisa then claimed that Lenny had threatened and berated her in front of their children. Now, the latest accusation in this Miami divorce saga — cyberbullying.

Last month, Lisa filed court documents requesting primary access to their mansion and demanding that Katharina stay away from her and Lenny’s kids. She claimed that having her around the children would impact their well-being. The court papers stated, “The husband’s presumed girlfriend, upon information and belief, has acted and continues to act in a manner that would be seen as injurious to the minor children, should she have any contact of access to the minor children at this time.”

Now, Katharina is clapping back and claiming that the Hochstein kids don’t even know her, and she’s pointing the finger at Lisa as the aggressor in the situation.

In an interview with Page Six, Katharina responded to Lisa’s request to keep the kids away from her. She told the outlet, “The kids would not know who I am if I stood next to them.”

Katharina’s rep continued talking to the outlet, claiming that the RHOM star has been involved in a cyberbullying campaign.

“In May, Lisa called Katharina and threatened her on the phone,” the rep said. “Lisa has created a fake Instagram page and has continually cyberbullied Katharina.”

Divorce can make people do some pretty wild things, but cyberbullying? That sounds like some petty, high school-level drama. And if Katharina has been receiving hate mail from a random Instagram account operated by Lisa, surely she has some screenshots of it, right? Let’s see them!

Either way, Lisa vehemently denies the existence of this fake Instagram account, and she continues to paint herself as the innocent party in this whole ordeal.

“I’ve got no time for Katharina’s childish antics and accusations,” Lisa told Page Six. “They are false and just show her true colors and motives. I have my children to focus on, and I am trying to keep them away from her and this negativity. None of these allegations are true.”

Brandi Glanville Says She’s Not Willing To Reconcile With Kenya Moore After Years Of Feuding

Many Housewives from the Bravoverse have appeared on Celebrity Apprentice. But none have held a feud for as long as Brandi Glanville and Kenya Moore. The two opposite-coast Housewives starred on the reality show together back in 2014. And it wasn’t exactly smooth sailing. The two immediately butt heads on the first challenge and it all went downhill from there.

So has time healed any wounds? Not exactly, according to Brandi. As reported by Reality Blurb, Brandi revealed where they stand on an episode of the WWHL: After Show. A caller asked the former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star if she was willing to reconcile with Kenya. Brandi replied no, thanks to a negative experience she had while filming Netflix’s Family Reunion.

Brandi said of the encounter, “[I] decided to do it, and I walked in. I was a little lost. But I was still on time and when I walked in, she was sitting with everyone. She’s like, ‘So nice of you to make it.'” Brandi added, “And she had already had her kid. I was like, ‘Okay, b-tch.’ It’s just not going to go away.”

During Celebrity Apprentice, Kenya immediately made her feelings on Brandi known. She said on the reality competition, “She’s not competition for me. She’s out of her league here, particularly with me. She doesn’t want to fight with me. I mean, if it were a bar setting, I think she would do okay. If it were a drinking competition, okay. But this is not that.” Brandi referred to Kenya as the “biggest narcissist” in the group.

A year later, after watching Brandi on the RHOBH reunion, Kenya called her “scum of the earth.” Later that year, Brandi was a guest on Watch What Happens Live and countered that the Real Housewives of Atlanta is a “horrible, horrible human being.”

Despite Kenya claiming she doesn’t really “have beef” with Brandi, the shade assassin went on to slam Brandi for how she behaved at the 2015 Bravo Upfronts.  The event, which has been going on for years now, is designed to create buzz around various Bravo shows. But according to Kenya, Brandi was too busy partying and that created her own buzz. Said Kenya to Andy Cohen on an episode of WWHL, “You witnessed what happened at the Bravo Upfronts where she came drunk and high and tried to pick a fight with me, NeNe [Leakes], and Cynthia [Bailey].” Kenya concluded, “So that was the beginning of our non-friendship.”

Married At First Sight Season 15 Premiere Recap

Married At First Sight is back! While some of the seasons have been controversial to say the least, that hasn’t stopped fans from continuing to watch. In fact, many are excited to learn more about the season 15 couples.  I’m sure viewers are already speculating about how each marriage will turn out by Decision Day. This season includes two new relationship experts, movie producer and motivational speaker DeVon Franklin, and Dr. Pia Holec but, for the first time, it’s set on the West Coast.

I already have some early predictions that I will keep to myself until I see everyone get married. The experts have made some interesting choices. I can see why some of them were matched, but I’m also seeing a lot of differences, as well. We already know there will be plenty drama. I am hoping these couples fare better than previous seasons, but you never know with this show. Let’s get straight to the recap.

Lindy and Miguel

Lindy is a 29-year-old physical therapist and self-proclaimed over thinker. Although she considers herself outgoing, she grew up sheltered in a religious household. When she meets with her friends to announce her engagement they are excited, but worry she will let her anxiety get the best of her. Eager to have a family, she is ready to finally settle down with someone special.

Miguel is a 35-year-old medical writer and a hopeless romantic. He has had a series of bad relationships, but is ready to meet his match. When he visits with his friends in full cosplay, they are excited for him to potentially meet a nice woman. Everyone is worried because of his past with women taking advantage of him.  Miguel has seen a reoccurring theme of women leaving him after suffering that pain from his mother as a child.

 

Alexis and Justin

Justin, 33 has remained perpetually single over the years, but he is ready for a meaningful relationship. He was engaged previously to a woman who would rather be a trophy wife, than a soul mate. This has led him to distrust people and eventually become celibate. When he informs his sister-in-law and brother, he is devastated when they don’t respond in a supportive manner. His brother reassures him that it’s not because he doesn’t want him to be happy; he is just concerned about if things don’t work out.  I guess when his last engagement ended; he left the country to find himself for a period of time. I can see why his brother would be concerned, he seems very sensitive. That isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but this show is truly like a game of rush and roulette.

Alexis is a 29-year-old logistics specialist from New Jersey. She considers herself someone who loves hard, but has never been able to find true love. Watching her parent’s marriage fail makes her want to stay married. She meets with a few of her close male friends and although shocked, they are supportive. Hopefully her husband isn’t the jealous type. I didn’t see any female friends in the group.

The first couple to walk down the aisle is Justin and Alexis. I can’t wait to see what the bride thinks of her groom. Especially since he seems to think most women want him. But while talking to his friends before the wedding, he shows his vulnerable side. He is nervous about whether he will fulfill his wife’s expectations. Meanwhile, Alexis is bawling like a baby once her mom comes to greet her. She is wondering if she has made a mistake. Sigh! This is going to be interesting. Something tells me, they aren’t going mesh easily.

I know its Justin and Alexis’ wedding day, but can we give it up for her mom? She was rocking that green dress next to her daughter. When the bride and groom meet, it’s obvious that he is attracted to her. They both read some very thoughtful vows. I don’t think there was a dry eye in the house. They even share a sweet kiss at the end of the ceremony. Although Alexis feels comfortable with him, she admits in a post interview he isn’t physically her type. She is very strong and he is bit corny, but he seems sweet. So, I guess we will see how this goes!

Krysten and Mitch

Krysten is a 32-year-old sales representative who is ready for love. She was previously engaged years ago, but never made it down the aisle. Right before she was set to get married, she was approached by the woman her fiancé was cheating with. She had used her life savings to pay for a destination wedding where no groom showed up.  Now, her biggest fear is dying alone. After trials and tribulations, she knows she deserves to have a happy ending. When Krysten reveals the news to her girlfriends, they grill her for all the details. She may be  a daddy’s girl, but she has yet to tell her father about her nuptials.

41-year-old, Mitch is an environmental policy advocate who is passionate about his work. He has had trouble maintaining long-term relationships. While Mitch is interested in finding the right partner, his parents’ divorce has impacted his ability to commit. He credits his siblings’ marriages as the reason he now feels ready to have one of his own. His family is very supportive when he announces that the experts have found him a wife.

Morgan and Binh

Morgan is a 27-year-old nurse who is the epitome of an independent woman. She went through dark times where she was extremely unhappy, but did the work to turn her life around. Although she lives a full life, she is ready to share it with someone else. When she discusses her upcoming wedding with friends, they hope her husband is ready for a powerful woman.

Binh is a 29-year-old first-generation Asian American, whose parents traveled separately to New Orleans as Vietnamese refugees. He is extremely close to his mother and hopes to marry someone like her. Unless his mom does martial arts in her spare time, I’m not sure if that will be the case. Binh enjoys traveling and working out and is successful in his own right. When he speaks to his friends about being engaged, they worry about his frugal cheap as hell ways.

Stacia and Nate

Stacia is a 37-year-old accountant, who describes herself as a no nonsense boss. She believes she is single because men are often intimidated by her. She was raised by her mother and stepdad and learned the value of a dollar very early in life. When she grew up, she decided she wanted to create her own success and have a family. She worries that time is running out on her biological clock and married at first sight is a last resort. When she reveals the news to her mom, she is supportive, but wants her daughter to get a post nuptial agreement to protect her assets. I don’t blame her; this woman has a successful career and owns several properties.

Nate is a 34-year-old, day trader, who considers himself an unorthodox risk taker. He credits being financially savvy from his days of struggling. Nate feels he is now in a place where he is ready for a wife and family.  If people consider them a power couple, even better. When he meets with his friends, they believe he is ready to settle down. But one of his female friends worries his wife may not want him to continue to have a relationship with his friends of the opposite sex. Hmm… I may need to watch that one friend. Hopefully she isn’t secretly waiting in the wings.

Umm… yea, I don’t know about Nate. Something tells me his wife is not going to deal with his shenanigans. At the bachelor party he displayed some behavior that even shocked the other men. He literally commanded a stripper to get on her knees while he sprayed whipped cream in her mouth. Did he forget he was on national TV and about to get married? I am now questioning his intentions along with that one female friend he is always around. Something tells me Stacia is not about to play games with him. Or at least, I hope not.

The Challenge USA Episode 1 Recap

After over 20 years on MTV, The Challenge is now on CBS this year, and for the first time ever, the show will feature CBS reality series personalities competing against one another. Participants will be some fan favorites from Big Brother, Survivor, Amazing Race, and Love Island. Of course, each shows alumni claim they will be the competition’s victor.

The Challenge Big Brother 23

The 28 members of The Challenge USA cast include 9 houseguests from past seasons of Big Brother.  That is more than any other show represented on The Challenge USA this season. The odds are already stacked in favor of Big Brother!

Legendary host of The Challenge, TJ Lavin, oversaw the first competition between the contestants. The group was permitted to pick their partners before they began their first duo competition. Most of the contestants stayed true to their reality show roots.

One of the couples to pair up together were Kyland Young and Azah Awasum from Big Brother 23. Unfortunately, they were the losing team from the first challenge. They had to repel down the side of a building while completing math problems posted on the building as they fell past them.

Big Brother 23 Kyland Azah

In true fashion of The Challenge, the winning duo was tasked with picking who the losing couple would battle in the arena in the final showdown. This competition will dictate which couple is eliminated from the competition each week. The winning couple in week one was Tyson Apostol, former Survivor winner, and Angela Rummans, former Big Brother 20 houseguest.

After deliberation, Tyler and Angela chose Love Island alum, Cely Vazquez and Javonny Vega for the losing couple to faceoff against in the arena. They were not obviously going to choose a Survivor or Big Brother alum to go against. That would jeopardize their game.

The arena competition was called Not So Fast. In the end, Kyland and Azah beat Cely and Javonny. The Big Brother duo will remain in the game while Cely and Javonny were eliminated.

TJ threw a new twist to the contestants before departing in week one. He announced that each week, a computer algorithm will pick the couples randomly. That means the contestants will no longer be able to pick their partners to compete with in the challenges. The computer will handle the task.

TJ went on to say that the contestants will have a new partner each week. Once that becomes impossible, they will not have the same partner two weeks in a row. The twist should make for some interesting gameplay considering Tyson and Angela, this week’s winners, thought they had a clear path to the end of the game.

Big Brother The Challenge USA

The Big Brother team is still in full stride going into week two of The Challenge USA. Please join us here next week for updates on how the competition evolves.
