We have already heard about the mess going on both on and off camera as The Real Housewives of New Jersey films.

Previously, Teresa Giudice and Margaret Josephs had seemed to be playing well together ... to the detriment of Jennifer Aydin.

Now, Tre and Margaret are clearly on the outs -- with Teresa unfollowing Margaret on Instagram, which fans quickly noticed.

It turns out that Margaret crossed a line with Teresa ... not by going after Jennifer, but by nosing into Tre's boyfriend's business.

Real Housewives are well known for their seasonal group trips.

This time, the ladies went to Nashville to film their drama with a different background.

It was there that Teresa unfollowed Margaret, setting off alarm bells and piquing curiosity among fans.

An inside source spoke to All About The Real Housewives about what viewers can expect to see when all of this airs.

“The season will begin with an epic feud between Margaret and Jennifer,” the insider shared.

Jennifer also had beef with Melissa Gorga and Jackie Goldschneider at the end of Season 11, which spilled over when this season began filming.

As Season 12 began to film, Jennifer found herself iced out of multiple group events.

While on-camera feuding can be great for TV, feuding so intense that you get iced out of social gatherings is the opposite.

These ladies weren't just unhappy with Jennifer. By not inviting her, they were trying to give her the boot from the series.

But Jennifer wasn't banned from everything.

At one event, Jennifer was reportedly confronted by her castmates.

The topic? It was claimed that her husband, Bill Aydin, had been stepping out on her.

“Margaret reveals a rumor about Bill cheating on Jennifer years ago," the insider explained, "which ends up being true."

"Of course, Jennifer doesn’t initially react very well," the source dished.

"But the ladies take it a step further," the insider continued, "by doing things purposely to shut her out."

Now, Jennifer and Margaret reportedly did mend fences ... eventually.

Melissa and Jackie then followed suit and made nice with Margaret, too.

But Margaret is still said to be on the outs with Teresa, and she knows that this wedge could be her ticket to staying on the series.

“Teresa and Margaret have been feuding the last two weeks," the insider explained.

"Marge has been in Teresa Giudice’s boyfriend [Luis] business," the source revealed.

"And," the insider detailed, Margaret "has been saying things that are getting back to Teresa about him."

“Teresa has had enough of Marge talking about her relationship," the source shared.

"And," the insider continued, "the two have a blowout in Nashville."

It is this blowout fight "which ends up with Teresa unfollowing Marge and wanting nothing to do with her.”

“Marge keeps bringing up rumors she has heard about Luis and continues to bring attention to those rumors,” the insider dished.

It sounds like Dolores, Melissa, and Jackie are currently at peace, among themselves and with others.

There is a new Housewife in the group, and while we don't know her name, the inside source described her as "likable."

The Real Housewives of New Jersey always know the recipe for an entertaining season. No matter if it’s explosive family drama or a simple analogy gone wrong, there’s always drama to be had. And while the Jersey girls are currently filming their next season, rumor has it that the tension between some castmates is getting stronger by the minute.

Jennifer Aydin, who has always had a tumultuous relationship with her co-stars, seems to be at the center of some drama. She and Margaret Josephs and Melissa Gorga will probably never be friends. Rumors about her marriage will apparently cause some serious issues next season. And, of course, OG Teresa Giudice will likely go at it with some of her co-stars and give fans some insight into her new relationship with Luis Ruelas. And probably talk wayyyy too much about pineapples again.

The Marge recently appeared on Bravo’s Chat Room to tease the upcoming season. Aside from going at it with Jennifer, she always teased that someone gets into it with Dolores Catania. Sounds like Patterson Dolores is making another appearance, thankfully. It’s truly a gift for reality TV fans everywhere when that side of her comes out.

In a video reposted by @RHONJ_OBSESSED, Marge teases that there’s some finger-pointing going on next season. “Jersey girls, when they talk, they talk with their hands,” Margaret said. “There’s a lot of finger-pointing. Some finger-pointing in Dolores‘ face from people, who she does not take well to. So we’ll have to leave it at that.” Dolores is a fan favorite so who could she possibly go at it with? Jennifer seems like an easy pick since she always gets into the drama, and apparently has a habit of pissing off Dolores.

And Marge insinuated that Dolores got so mad that the RHONJ ladies had to step it to “make sure it doesn’t go too far.” We know Marge won’t stand for physical altercations (aka hair pulling). But if it’s a harmless push in the pool, that’s another story.

Porsha Williams also asked if there was any touching or table-flipping in the works for next season. “There’s a little touching this season and it’s not sweet fondling,” Margaret said. She admitted it didn’t involve her but didn’t give any indication of who the fight is between. “I would say a scuffle. And you’ll be surprised who it’s toward,” she teased. “A person you usually don’t see get in a scuffle.” Is it Jackie Goldschneider? Bill Aydin? Frank Catania? Milania Giudice? I need answers ASAP. Come on, Marge, spill the freakin tea.

When Kourtney Kardashian started dating Travis Barker, there was a good deal of speculation about what Scott Disick would think of the situation.

Scott has been infamously jealous and territorial about the mother of his children, even in the years that followed their messy breakup.

Some feared that Scott would antagonize Travis, as he's reportedly done with some of Kourtney's other beaus.

But now, it seems that hasn't been the case -- because Scott has been bullying Kourtney instead!

Yes, this unexpected drama comes to us from an unexpected source.

Remember Younes Bendjima?

Kourtney and Younes dated for a brief period after she dumped Scott but before she started dating Travis.

Now, it seems Scott reached out to Younes in an attempt to bond over slut-shaming their mutual ex.

Unfortunately for Scott, the attempt did not go according to plan.

Travis and Kourtney traveled to Italy recently, and Scott sent some paparazzi pics from their trip to Younes.

It seems that like Travis' second wife, Shanna Moakler, Scott is offended by Barker and Kardashian's PDA.

For some reason, he thought that Younes would share this very weird, very specific stance -- but Scott quickly learned how wrong he was.

"Yo is this chick ok!??? Broo like what is this. In the middle of Italy," Scott wrote to Younes, as though "the middle of Italy" is the most insane place that a couple could engage in a public display of affection.

Younes was having none of this messy shaming session, and he promptly let Scott know exactly where he stood.

"Doesn't matter to me as long as she's happy PS: I ain't your bro," Bendjima replied.

"Keep the same energy you had about me publicly, privately," he added.

Younes later explained his reasons for calling Scott out:

"Couldn't miss this one. He been playing around for too long, tried to stay quiet and be the nice guy," he wrote in his Instagram Story.

Younes is 100 percent right in this situation, and not only because Disick engaged in some seriously creepy behavior by trying to lure Bendjima to his side in a pointless battle against Kourtney.

On the final Keeping Up With the Kardashians reunion show that aired back in June, Scott was asked if he ever wanted to "kill" any of the guys that Kourtney has been involved with.

"Well, the last guy," Scott replied.

"Let's all be honest here."

The "last guy," as you may have guessed, is none other than Younes.

So yeah, we can see why Bendjima might not be totally receptive to Scott's awkward attempt at bonding through trash-talk.

And hopefully, Younes isn't the only one who's pissed off.

Scott is currently dating Amelia Hamlin, and we would imagine she's not too thrilled to learn that he's still obsessing over his ex.

After all, there's a very thin line between love and hate.

And clearly, Scott is still feeling all sorts of emotions toward Kourtney.

"I think if you really love somebody, you want them to be happy no matter what,' Scott explained on the KUWTK finale when asked how he feels about Kourtney moving on.

"So I do give her a blessing to be happy."

Sounds like it might be time for Scott to practice what he preaches!

During a recent episode of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Teddi Mellencamp was a guest at bestie Kyle Richards’ Christmas dinner. RHOBH viewers probably thought that they were done seeing Teddi on their TV screens when she was fired after three boring seasons. I give Teddi props for admitting that she was let go instead of trying to spin it that she decided to leave.

The accountability coach and owner of All In by Teddi actually took some accountability. But her company has been garnering some backlash for it’s reported diet programs.

Kyle refuses to allow Teddi to fade into the background because “it’s always fun to have Teddi be a part of the show.” But is it, really? Garcelle Beauvais‘ reaction to seeing Teddi at the dinner was hilarious. She called Teddi “just kind of annoying for no reason like a little gnat.”

Then Teddi slammed Garcelle during an appearance on E! News Daily Pop on August 20, 2021. Teddi stated, “However, let’s say I found you really annoying and I talked about it behind your back. I wouldn’t be texting you ‘Happy Birthday. I hope you have a wonderful time,'” she added. Point taken, Teddi.

Garcelle and Teddi took their beef to Twitter. Queens of Bravo tweeted that on Teddi’s podcast, “Teddi overheard Garcelle tell production: ‘Why is she even here and why does she get to have an opinion?'”
A follower quoted the tweet and said, “Iconic behavior.” Garcelle responded, “Well that’s not true!” Another user tweeted, “we really want it to be tho. Like really!” Then Garcelle replied, “I said it in front of her while we were filming.” Garcelle is on fire!

Teddi hopped on Twitter to respond. “I said you said while looking at prod[ucers] in front of me while filming & I responded ‘Do I need to ask you when I can speak?’” Teddi wrote. “maybe I should have asked why you text me Happy Bday or about mattresses & agents if you’re so bothered by me.” Snooze-fest!

Last season, Teddi was furious when she found out that Denise Richards allegedly said that Teddi lived in her father, rocker John Mellencamp’s shadow. Denise denied making that comment. Who knew that Teddi could live in her dad’s shadow and kiss Kyle’s ass at the same time?

Teddi tweeted an amusing screenshot of a text conversation between her and her famous father. “Got my sense of humor from my dad’s shadow,” Teddi wrote. John responded, “I know you are busy living in my shadow but…Dennis Richards- never heard of him….” Score one point for John!  “You know who DENISE is dad. She is the girl who mentions Charlie Sheen every episode,” Teddi wrote.

Teddi recently revealed on E! News Daily Pop that a celebrity is hoping to romance her father, John. Apparently, Dina Lohan, actress and singer Lindsay Lohan’s mother, is going all in (pun intended) in hopes of meeting John. Dina, who is Lindsay’s “momager” took part in  Season 2 of Celebrity Big Brother. While locked in the Big Brother house, Dina told her co-stars that she was involved in a 5-year relationship with a man who she had never met in person, or even seen on video chat. Oof.

The RHOBH alum told Daily Pop that she has been dealing with “relentless” DMs from Dina. Teddi remarked, “She even said, ‘The girls are all in for me to be with your dad.’ Can you imagine Lindsay and I could be sisters?” Hold up-now that would be an interesting storyline for Teddi!

Vision has sort of been in the Marvel Cinematic Universe since day one—or, at least, actor Paul Bettany has. From Iron Man and beyond, he’s been an integral part of the franchise that means a lot to so many of us. So now, to celebrate the brilliance that was WandaVision, Bettany is talking about his MCU journey and the show that kicked off Disney+’s Marvel hits!

In an exclusive from CBR and Titan Comics, we get an inside look into Bettany’s journey through the Marvel Cinematic Universe and, of course, his venture into WandaVision and how Vision has evolved. Paul Bettany is an interesting figure in the MCU because when you stop and think about it, he went from just voicing an A.I. system named JARVIS in Phase 1 to transforming into the Vision.

While he brought up Joss Whedon talking with him about playing Vision and the future of his character leading to him thinking he was getting fired after Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame, it’s his explanation about joining the MCU thanks to Jon Favreau that’s wonderful:

It’s been a crazy ride. [Iron Man director] Jon Favreau rung me up — we had made a movie together called Wimbledon. And he said, “I’m making this movie with Robert Downey, Jr. And he’s Iron Man. And I need a really boring, personality-less voice for the computer that runs his world, and I immediately thought of you, Paul.” How do you say no when you’re asked so nicely? Anyway, it was a great gig.

Favreau has this tendency to get these actors to join the MCU and stay for a while. He fought to get Robert Downey Jr. as his Tony Stark, and he clearly talked Bettany into the role of JARVIS, and it’s fascinating to see. But that was just the beginning. Who knew that JARVIS would end up falling in love with Wanda Maximoff and helping usher in the Scarlet Witch to the MCU?

While Bettany thought he was getting fired, the events of Infinity War brought him into the best era for Vision yet: WandaVision. What’s interesting about the first two episodes of WandaVision is that they were filmed in front of a live studio audience and gave Bettany the ability to channel Dick Van Dyke in the best possible way:

I was really frightened. I hadn’t been onstage for a long time, but we had in our tool box this great director, Matt Shakman, who has worked on huge shows, and also more importantly, was a child actor in sitcoms. He worked in front of live studio audiences and is also the Artistic Director of the Geffen Theater here in Los Angeles. And so, he made us feel a lot better about it. We rehearsed very thoroughly, and everybody, every member of the crew was dressed in costumes. And everybody really got into the spirit of it. And then the audience came in, and I was really nervous. And then we just went for it.

You have a camera, and I know that’s where [your performance] has gotta go, right? But if there’s an audience, you do pitch bigger. And that’s what gave those shows that quality. The cameras are just three-camera setups, but the actors are playing to an audience. And so, it’s big and bold. And I guess we just sort of jumped into the abyss. I hadn’t been onstage since the ’90s, I don’t think…and I was really nervous, but I think it was so rewarding and so funny. I’d be running backstage, bumping into Kathryn Hahn, and making her drop her props or whatever, you know what I mean? Everybody is getting ready behind doors, waiting to come out onstage. It was so much fun.

Honestly, I think that WandaVision was a perfect exploration of Vision. I didn’t care about his character prior to the show, and I wasn’t really that invested in Wanda sharing her series with him (especially given how long I’d been waiting for any kind of solo Wanda Maximoff content). I am woman enough to admit that I was wrong and my mind has been changed in regards to Vision, and that’s completely thanks to WandaVision giving Paul Bettany some amazing things to work with.

I hope we get to see Vision again in the MCU, especially since he was brought back, in part, and flew off at the end of the series.

The post Paul Bettany Revealed Some of the Secrets Behind Vision, WandaVision, and Its Live Studio Audience first appeared on The Mary Sue.

Late in the afternoon yesterday, there was a steady stream of tweets on my timeline sharing books under the hashtag #TransBooks365. Each of the titles was a book by a trans author, and many featured trans characters, too. Most of the time this kind of targeted uplifting happens, it is for “a reason.”

On the positive end, this can be coordinated with a national/international acknowledgment—for example, March 31 for International Transgender Day of Visibility, June for Pride Month, October for LGBT History Month, and/or November 20, International Transgender Day of Remembrance. There are more, but these are the most common. There is no shade to doing this, as long are you are sharing and reading the work of trans authors beyond these times of year, as well.

On the negative end (and what feels like most common), there is someone influential saying something transphobic—for example, J.K. Rowling’s misinformed manifesto summer 2020 or Target, Amazon, and the American Bookseller’s Association, all in hot water at one point for promoting books that call gender non-conformity a mental illness in summer 2021.

These reasons led debut author Emery Lee to starting the hashtag #TransBooks365.

So most of y’all are already aware that trans authors pretty much only get significant support in response to transphobia.

This is exhausting and makes the promo feel awful. I want to give trans authors a chance to see their books blow up in a way that isn’t bigotry-centered.

— Emery Lee (@EmeryLeeWho) August 15, 2021

This absolutely is an issue and doesn’t just apply to the trans and LGBTQ+ community. It forces authors to have to balance both the joy that their book is bringing and the guilt that that their book is only trending because something bad likely happened. They are profiting off someone’s pain—someone in their community. This support is also fleeting, too.

This is why, upon the news that Akwaeke Emezi is releasing three books in the next 12 months, I ran to share why everyone needs to be reading their books. I have only read The Death of Vivek Oji so far, but that book has also made me a fan for life. There was no need to wait until the next moment of transphobic controversy to share that. To be honest, being online, trans or cis, will show you that there is transphobia every damn day.

Here are some of the tweets shared today in the spirit of Lee’s wish:

When I discovered I was trans a few years back, I found myself in tears bc I couldn’t pick up a single book about people like me or the people I love. Now, this is what I can pull off my bookshelves in just a minute.

I’m honored to be able to join them. #TransBooks365 pic.twitter.com/5Ne1EgxJNF

— Andrew Joseph White (@AJWhiteAuthor) August 30, 2021

Trans authors (like cis authors) are writing in every genre, from contemporary romance to space fantasy:

I recommended some recent/new trans books by other authors here: https://t.co/DjWsQPlgWJ

I’d also add The Witch King by @heedgmon as one that I loved recently.

— Charlie Jane Anders (EVEN GREATER MISTAKES 11/16!) (@charliejane) August 30, 2021

Some people shared books to a specific trans experience so like authors/characters who are non-binary, women, men, and more.

While YA gets a lot of attention, there are also adult books with trans characters, just like there are for middle grade and children.

Lee himself is a trans author with a book, so of course we gotta talk about that. His debut YA Meet Cute Diary is the story about how Noah Ramirez’s blog about trans happily ever afters, Meet Cute Diary, gets exposed for being fiction when Ramirez was selling it as fact.

First, a lot of thanks to @EmeryLeeWho for creating the #TransBooks365!
I read eir book, Meet Cute Diary, as soon as it came out, after anticipating it for months, and it did not disappoint!

Here are some of my favorite books by trans authors, aside from Emezi:

First off, Felix Ever After by Kacen Callender is a must. The YA novel features a boy, post-op and in a prestigious art school, who was recently outed as trans. In addition to relationship/friendship drama and other school stuff, he is trying to figure out who did it by catfishing possible suspects. It is messy, but the characters feel very real and immature. Callender’s book was one of the best books I read in 2020.

Another book I absolutely adored this past year is All Boys Aren’t Blue by George M. Johnson. Their memoir-manifesto speaks directly to Black queer boys and covers topics such as family, consent, joy, gender identity, toxic masculinity, brotherhood, and Black boy joy. Whatever expectations you have of those words, put them aside as you dive into this beautiful book. Soon, we will have a TV show based on the book, since Gabrielle Union’s I’ll Have Another Productions is developing it with Sony Pictures TV.

I really enjoyed She of the Mountains by Vivek Shraya (better known for their 2020 novel The Subtweet), too. This story follows young Canadian boy who is struggling with his sexuality through adulthood and is interwoven with retellings of Hindu mythology. Though I am ill equipped as far as my knowledge of Hindu mythology goes, the story was still very accessible and lyrical.

While the audiobook for She of the Mountains is great, if you can, opt for the eBook or physical. There are large illustrations throughout the book similar to the cover design.

Emery tweeted that while the hashtag was intended for Monday, she encourages it to be used all week and on all platforms. While it may get more attention in use this week, if used in perpetuity, the hashtag can serve as an informal database for books by trans authors, for everyone to use.

If any of these look interesting to you, add them to your StoryGraph TBR and get recommended more books!

The post Yesterday, Everyone Was Sharing Trans Books Just Because, as We Always Should first appeared on The Mary Sue.

Baby R is home, happy and healthy.

And the same can now be said for Baby R's mother.

On Monday, Catelynn Lowell and Tyler Baltierra confirmed to their millions of social media followers that their latest daughter was out of the hospital -- and in their arms.

The latest child's first name?

That's a matter for a different day.

"She’s perfect and healthy, and I’m doing well," Catelynn told Celeb Buzz after giving birth on Saturday, prior to adding that she is "just sore."

This makes sense, of course, based on how a baby enters the world. (Don't ask, kids. Just Google if you aren't certain.)

Catelynn added to this same outlet at this same time "We are sooo blessed."

The Teen Mom OG stars revealed they were expecting yet another girl many months ago, but have not yet revealed any details regarding their newborn.

No measurements... no exact time of arrival... and, as you can see, no name.

They've been referring to her as "Baby R" for awhile now, though, prompting speculation that perhaps the child's name is Rose. Or Ruth. Or Rebecca.

We could go on and here. Plenty of girl names begin with this letter.

“She’s here and she’s perfect,” Baltierra captioned an Instagram Story video of the newborn’s bassinet in the hospital on Saturday morning... adding emojis of a crying face, heart eyes and a red rose.

Sweethearts since high school, he and Catelynn gave up their first-born, Carly, for adoption.

The spouses are also parents to a six-year old named Novalee and a two-year old names Vaeda.

Yup, that makes four biological daughters overall -- with Catelynn having acknowledged in the past that this pregnancy would be her final one.

Back in February, Catelynn and Tyler announced they wee expecting their fourth baby... not long after losing one via a miscarriage.

They did so by sharing a photo of Novalee and Vaeda holding a sign that read: "27 weeks until I become a big sister."

And also by saying on social media:

"This rainbow was worth the storm. Baby Baltierra coming soon."

"Exhausted, but soaking up every second," wrote Catelynn today, along with the very first photo posted on this page.

Added the veteran MTV personality:

"she’s absolutely perfect. #BabyR #MomOfGirls."

Just last month, meanwhile, Tyler and Catelynn celebrated their 15th anniversary as a couple.

Wrote the hung husband in tribute/celebration:

I love those dreamy eyes/Staying up talking late at night/Snuggle close right by my side/Hair tickling my nose, I don’t mind/Go ahead, lay down your head/Feel my heartbeat in your hand/Just let me hold you until the night ends.

15 years together & you still make me feel as if we were goofy kids! I love you so much babe @catelynnmtv.

As for when we'll learn this brand new baby's first name?

We can't say for certain.

But Teen Mom OG returns with a brand new season on Tuesday, September 7.

We'll learn more about Catelynn, Tyler and the whole crew then.

Over the weekend, Amy Roloff married Chris Marek in a beautiful ceremony.

The long-anticipated wedding took place on Roloff Farms.

Matt Roloff is now giving followers a virtual tour of the farm and how it played into the wedding.

But some Little People, Big World fans accuse him of trying to monetize his ex-wife's nuptials by promoting his business.

"Wedding farm wrap up," Matt Roloff captioned a new video on his Instagram.

He wrote: "Honored that Amy and Chris choose the farm @rolofffarms for their big wedding day!!"

"Now on to Pumpkin patch setup …wait for it…" Matt teased.

The actual video on Matt Roloff's Instagram extends for over seven minutes.

We have only included a short but sweet clip from that.

In it, Matt rides around the property pointing to different locales relevant to the weekend's nuptials.

For instance, Matt notes the gazebo.

Amy and Chris were married in front of that.

Matt has spent the last couple of days getting the farm back in order following the wedding.

Commenters were quick to praise Matt for the video, and for the Farm having served as a venue.

"Well done Matt! You really stepped up to the mark for Chris and Amy," one fan wrote.

That comment continued: "Most exes would not have done anywhere near what you did for them! Good on you."

"You are amazing and so is the farm," another follower praised.

That commenter continued: "Love that you all supported Amy on her next chapter."

That certainly was heartwarming to see!

Not everyone was feeling the love, even if they were happy for Amy and Chris.

Some social media users called out Matt, accusing him of using the wedding for the farm's publicity.

You can't deny that he gave Amy a shout-out and then began to promote pumpkin season in essentially the same breath.

On the other hand, Matt was acting as Amy's wedding venue.

Some venues will keep quiet and let the people who marry there decide what to share and what to keep to themselves.

But many venues, especially those that offer discounts or free nuptials for famous people, are going to promote it on social media.

In that sense, Matt was acting like any other wedding venue that Amy or Chris might have encountered.

Caterers, dress shops, and venues tend to have social media where they will promote themselves when the opportunity arises to showcase what they offer.

In a world where pizza places will share when a TikToker stops by, Matt's tour of the farm seems downright tame.

But we get the impression that many of those raising their eyebrows at Matt's tour already have strong opinions about him.

Many have not looked at him the same way since they heard that he had cheated on Amy with Caryn during their marriage.

Additionally, his attitude and behavior -- as seen and described on camera -- makes many feel that he was a toxic partner.

Even after the divorce, a number of fans have the impression that Matt has continued some bad habits.

He has been accused of at first dismissing but then claiming credit for Amy's wildly popular pumpkin salsa idea.

In a sense, one could see this as repeating that behavior -- letting Amy and Chris marry there, and then using it to market his farm.

But as we said, this isn't an abnormal thing to do. Not every venue keeps things under wraps.

And besides, it was Amy's fans first and foremost who were interested in a behind-the-scenes glimpse at the farm.

Matt has his faults, but this video seems sweet and harmless.

Maci Bookout and Mackenzie Standifer have never exactly been besties.

But the feud between Ryan Edwards' baby mamas has only intensified in recent months, and it looks like that trend will continue for the foreseeable future!

The latest trouble began when Ryan and Mackenzie got fired from Teen Mom OG at Maci's behest.

In addition to being out of a job -- and a wildly lucrative one, at that -- Ryan and Mackenzie felt that they were now being denied the opportunity to tell the world their side of the story.

Of course, getting fired hasn't silenced Mack and Ryan completely.

in fact, they both gave interviews with UK tabloid The Sun this week, and as you might have guessed, Maci was the number one topic of discussion.

First, the outlet published their conversation with Ryan.

Edwards blamed Maci for most of his recent misfortunes, of course, but he also claimed that MTV fired him because he loves America too much. Seriously.

Now, Mack has been given her turn to take a swing at Maci, and you better believe she made the most of it.

At one point, she even accused Maci of exploiting her eldest son to boost her career.

“I don’t think it’s OK to use stuff that Bentley has got going on emotionally for a dollar,” she told the outlet.

“They’ll use their own children to make a buck," she added.

Obviously, that's a very serious allegation, but it's not without merit.

As the children of the original Teen Moms enter their teens, there's been a great deal of debate over whether these kids should be forced to live their lives on television because their parents signed a contract before they were born.

Chelsea Houska quit Teen Mom 2 over concerns about her eldest daughter's privacy, and we expect -- and hope -- that some of former colleagues will follow suit.

Mackenzie also spoke out about Maci's claim that Ryan refused to attend therapy with his son.

She claims that Ryan did attend sessions with Bentley -- back when he was still allowed to see the boy -- but the footage from the initial conversations was manipulated to make him look like the bad guy.

“We didn’t want to film about the therapy thing [because] that’s something that should be private, hence the pushback,” she adds.

“All MTV cares about is money. And no, I’m not cool with that; I’ll never be cool with that.”

Mackenzie later clarified her comments, claiming that she meant to convey that exploiting children for profit is part of the Teen Mom business model, and not that Maci in particular is profiting from her kids.

She now says that she “meant” is that MTV “uses everyone’s very real emotional distress as a way for them to make a buck."

While there's certainly some truth to that comment, it could also be used to describe just about any outlet that profits from reality TV.

Ryan and Mackenzie knew the deal when they signed their most recent contacts, but now that the money is no longer rolling in, they're suddenly moralists!

The entire premise of Bachelor In Paradise is basically the opposite of the typical Bachelor or Bachelorette season. All of those who weren’t lucky enough to get a final rose head to a private resort to date around and try to find love. They don’t have to vie for one person’s attention and are actually able to explore their chemistry with a variety of people. While date cards and roses are still in the picture, it’s a bit more laid-back way for people to try to fall in love, and not feel like total failures if they head home single.

But slut-shamers are going to slut-shame no matter what, even if they tune into a show ALL ABOUT nonchalant hookups each week. Maurissa Gunn, a contestant on the current BIP season, is dealing with just that. It’s 2021 people. You have to find other ways to criticize reality stars without making low-blows about their sex life. We’re better than that.

According to Page Six, Maurissa recently took to Instagram to defend herself after she hooked up with fellow contestant Riley Christian after their first date. Maurissa also received backlash for saying she “loves” having sex on the show. Notice: no one is shaming Riley for doing the same thing. Give women a break already.

Maurissa posted a video, appropriately wearing a shirt reading “Sex Positive” to slam viewers who criticize her for embracing her sexuality. “I don’t need to explain what I said, because I said it with conviction,” Maurissa wrote in the caption. She added that she may be better at handling the criticism than other women in similar positions, but it still doesn’t make it OK. FACTS.

And she has no regrets in her comments about liking sex. “It’s OK FOR WOMEN TO LIKE SEX! Sex is a 2 person act, so there shouldn’t be a double standard regarding which gender can openly like it, and which gender should be timid about their enjoyment,” Maurissa added. PREACH GIRL.

Viewers took to commenting on the show’s Instagram account referring to Maurissa as “desperate” for “[jumping] right into bed” with a Riley. Maurissa called out the “double standard,” as she should, mentioning it was disheartening to see a lot of the hate come from other women. “It’s already hard enough being a woman in today’s society, so we as women should do everything to lift each other up rather than bring each other down,” she added. And that’s on that. None of these haters have ever exposed their lives to reality TV. And just because someone does, that doesn’t mean they deserve to be attacked.

Riley also called out the “blatant double standard” on his own Instagram Story. “And just know when you put that type of stuff out there — yes you are entitled to your opinion, you’re entitled to judge people — just know that I see it and I’m judging you right back and so is everybody else,” he said. Thanks for tuning in, haters. What do you expect to see when you turn on dating shows? People holding hands and courting each other for weeks? You’d probably turn the TV off faster than your hateful comments turn off other people.

Last season of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills featured a cast gang up on Denise Richards. Denise’s co-stars confronted her about an alleged sexual encounter with RHOBH alum Brandi Glanville. Denise denied that she hooked up with Brandi.

She even sent cease and desist letters to some of her co-stars. Lisa Rinna, who was supposedly friends with Denise for 20 years, slammed her as as “a phony.” When Denise announced that she was leaving RHOBH, it wasn’t a surprise.

One cast member, Garcelle Beauvais, stayed “Team Denise Richards“ the entire time. In September of 2020, Denise appeared on the talk show The Real, which Garcelle co-hosts. Denise told Garcelle, “I truly could not have gotten through the season without you, honestly.”

Garcelle wasn’t about to let Rinna off the hook for the horrible way that she treated Denise. Then Rinna equated turning her back on Denise to her husband, Harry Hamlin, ending his friendship with a man who supposedly raped someone. We need a course on analogies for the Housewives. Just saying.

And this season is all about Erika Jayne, and how her ex, Tom Girardi, allegedly took $26 million dollars in settlement money that belonged to his clients. Now Erika is being sued for $25 million dollars by the trustee who is handling the Girardi Keese bankruptcy case. The trustee is alleging that Erika was aware that money from Tom’s law firm was funding her expensive lifestyle. Sutton Stracke would like a word, Erika.

And Garcelle has some questions for Rinna about why she treated Erika with kid gloves while she destroyed Denise last season. “Some of them knew Denise longer than Erika, so I don’t get it either,” Garcelle stated. “That’s really baffling to me is how come they believe Erika right out the gate and they never believed Denise?”

Rinna tried to fake “owning it” by saying, “I’m closer with Erika than I’ve been with anybody in this circle. I’m way closer to Erika than I ever was to Denise Richards.” Say what now? What happened to 20 years of friendship?

When Garcelle was a guest on Watch What Happens Live she delivered a shady tease. Host Andy Cohen asked Garcelle if she was still friends with Denise. “I am and I think she wants to come back,” Garcelle shared. “Somebody’s gotta go though.” Maybe Rinna should revamp her resume.

In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Denise discussed this season of RHOBH. “I just started watching the last couple of episodes,” Denise said. She noted that her name often pops up on the show.
“I am going to ask them, ‘Do I get paid for every time my name comes up?'” the actress quipped.

“You know, I really did enjoy working on the show. I hate to even say working on it,” Denise remarked. “I liked being a part of the show, and I had fun with most of the women, not all!”

So, would Denise ever pick up a diamond again and re-join the franchise? “You know, I always say ‘never say never.’ It feels like they have real-life stuff, you know?” she commented. “Real-life stuff going on this season.” I’m sure that Erika agrees.

“I think that they couldn’t not talk about some of the things that’s going on,” Denise said, alluding to Erika’s legal issues and divorce. “I mean, it’s very public, and I know that’s a very difficult situation, I would imagine too.”

The post Denise Richards Says “Never Say Never” To A Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills Return appeared first on Reality Tea.

When does a solution become more of a problem than it’s worth? That’s the question on everyone’s mind on this week’s episode of Below Deck Mediterranean. The interior’s been struggling for a few weeks now thanks to Lexi Wilson‘s incompetence. At the end of last week’s episode, Katie Flood announced she was doing away with ranks among her department. No more second and third stew. Everyone’s equal now. So get ready, because things are about to change on board Lady Michelle…

Yes, that means a fourth stew is joining the boat. Oh, and she’s already here. Like, now. Even before Lexi and Katie finish up their conversation, the new stew is stepping on board. Everyone meet Delaney Evans! The girl has been sitting in a hotel under quarantine since the night Mathew Shea walked off the boat with his fake knee injury. So needless to say, she’s happy to be here as the new deck/stew.

Except…wait a second. Apparently that’s only half true. The staffing agency hired Delaney under the allusion that she had experience in both departments. It even says so on her resume. But that’s not exactly completely accurate. Introducing herself to Katie and Captain Sandy Yawn, the newbie admits she’s really more of a deckhand. In that she has absolutely no stew experience whatsoever. Umm…this is a problem. Particularly for Katie. Because now it’s looking like she’s been sold a false bill of goods.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In all honesty, the first thing that ran through my mind was, “Could this be a plant from production? Or Bravo, even?” I mean, the girl just spent two weeks sitting in a hotel room doing absolutely nothing. Don’t you think it would’ve been helpful to mention that your previous stew experience involved setting out platters from Costco and handing out sodas? Other things to know about Delaney: she was the valedictorian of her high school class. She has a speech impediment she taught herself not to improve as a way to get out of class in elementary school. She’s been a sailing skipper on much smaller boats, but has never worked on a super yacht. Oh, and David Pascoe might have a little crush on her, except he thinks her name is Andrea.

There’s no time to think about how Delaney throws a wrench in things, though, because charter number five is about to start. As in, the gaggle of girlfriends are already strutting down the dock. So Katie agrees to try the newbie out for this charter and basically throws her down in laundry. Because how hard can laundry be for a high school valedictorian, right? Surely it’s easier than Chef Mathew having to coordinate all the conflicting dietary demands this group of guests threw at him via their preference sheets. His solution once they anchor in Mala Ostrica? Serve a deconstructed lunch family-style. That way, all the ladies can pick and choose what they will and won’t eat.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

However, Mathew‘s seemingly endless string of good luck is about to run out. Because while the guests are going full tilt on every water sport imaginable, he’s prepping for dinner. And for not the first time this season, something catches fire in the galley. Without thinking, the chef grabs the fiery sheet pan and runs it to the sink, seriously burning a few of his fingers. Umm, to say this is bad is an understatement. Mathew calls Sandy to the galley, and she immediately knows he needs to see a doctor. And listen, I totally get that accidents happen. Especially in a kitchen. But how many of these injuries and fires could have been avoided? Because two fires in a single season kind of seem like two too many…

With second degree burns on his fingers Mathew is now down a hand. Which means he’ll need some help in the galley to get dinner on the table, courtesy of Lloyd Spencer. However, the evening’s meal of bacon-wrapped dates, chicken parmesan, and gnocchi Alfredo goes off basically without a hitch. Meanwhile, Lexi is tasked with teaching Delaney how to do to turndowns. (Which seems like an odd choice considering how terrible she’s been at housekeeping lately, but I guess Courtney Veale can’t do everything.) And yet, the drama isn’t over for the night.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Just as dinner service is winding down, Captain Sandy calls Katie to the bridge. There’s a problem with the new cabin arrangements. See, Delaney was originally supposed to bunk with Mathew, but management has laid down the law that that’s legally not allowed. For liability reasons. So if Delaney’s going to stick around, there has to be a major cabin shuffle. And I mean more than just Mathew intruding in the chief officer’s cabin for the remainder of the charter. (Which, for the record, he’s less than pleased about.) To make things work, the three stews will have to share the trio cabin currently occupied by the boys. Katie will move in with Malia White. David will have to go back to rooming with Mathew after he’s already moved out. And Lloyd and Mzi Dempers will take over Katie and Lexi‘s old room. Yikes.

The next morning, Katie‘s left wondering if all this rearranging is worth the trouble. After all, it’s late in the season. There are only two charters left after this one. And pretty much everyone on the crew will be upset with her over having to switch cabins. Well, except Malia, who doesn’t have to move. And David, who’s still recovering from the lap dance he received the night before from a charter guest in an inflatable suit. Then there’s also the question of whether Delaney‘s even happy as a completely green stew when she’d probably much rather be on deck. Should she just let the newbie go? Of course, Sandy passes the buck when Katie comes her with the conundrum. This is all on Katie, and is it just me or does the captain seems oddly pleased to be putting her chief stew in such a no-win position?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Poor Katie‘s so worked up that she’s literally making herself sick over the decision. After breakfast, she pulls Delaney aside for a meeting in the bridge, and proceeds to lay out the situation. The new girl may not have outright lied, but she certainly wasn’t honest on her C.V. Katie doesn’t really have time to train her this late in the season. She’s basically giving the newbie an out. But inexplicably, Delaney seems to have no intention of going anywhere. She makes several valid counterpoints: she’s taking laundry off everyone’s shoulders, the other stews all got two-hour breaks the day before, and things are still getting done. She wants to stay, and somehow convinces Katie that it’s only fair to give her a chance. Seeing no other option, Katie reluctantly agrees to reassess once the charter is actually over.

But will we even make it to the end of the charter? The weather that started out in the morning as simply crummy has morphed into a full-blown storm. The wind is so bad that the anchor is dragging, which means Malia and Lloyd have to venture outside to reset it. It may seem like just doing the job in a little heavy rain at first, but within seconds it becomes clear that the situation is more dangerous. As the bosun tries to guide Lloyd through the process, lightning flashes in the sky behind her. Ever calm, Captain Sandy promises the storm will pass, but the episode ends with Malia letting loose a string of curse words before shouting, “Red on deck! Red on deck!” Guess we’ll have to wait until next week to find out what that actually means…

TELL US – WHAT’S YOUR FIRST IMPRESSION OF DELANEY? HOW LONG DO YOU THINK SHE’LL STICK AROUND? IS MATHEW SLOPPY IN THE GALLEY OR JUST ODDLY ACCIDENT-PRONE? IS CAPTAIN SANDY SETTING KATIE UP TO FAIL AS A LEADER?
