90 Day Fiance: The Other Way fans were introduced to precious Taeyang as a newborn in 2019.  His mother, Deavan Clegg was featured on Season 1 and 2 of the hit reality TV show pregnant with him, her second child. Taeyang was conceived during his parents first physical meeting together, and their attempts to make it work as a family was documented on the show.

Deavan even moved to South Korea with her newborn and daughter Drascilla in an attempt to build a family with Jihoon Lee. Despite Deavan’s best efforts and a traditional Korean wedding, she called it quits and returned to the USA. The couple officially split in 2020.

Since then, Deavan has moved on with boyfriend Topher Park, with whom she is expecting her third child.  She often shares images of her little ones with Topher, and it’s clear Topher has stepped up as a father figure.  Sadly, as Entertainment Tonight reported, that happy family dynamic was shattered when Taeyang was diagnosed with leukemia.

Deavan shared the heartbreaking news on May 31 with an Instragram post.  She wrote, “I have vowed to always be 100% transparent with you guys and I am choosing to share the most vulnerable and saddest point of my life right now in hopes it can help give anyone else dealing with a similar situation some strength. I’m overcome with so much emotion and devastation to announce that my beloved son Taeyang who just celebrated his third birthday last week was just diagnosed with childhood cancer, b-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia just a few days ago.”

Accompanying the announcement were a set of photos of Taeyang in hospital.  Deavan confirmed that he already started chemotherapy and had multiple procedures done.

“This is every parents absolute worst nightmare and I’m trying hard to stay strong for Taeyang, Drascilla and my baby in my tummy,” Deavan continued, “Taeyang will need around the clock hospital care and this will be a long two year process that has a high success rate of full recovery in five years. I’m still processing all of this and asking for prayers, please.”

Deavan has worked quickly to connect with supporters and is asking for donations through a gofundme.  She explained, “If anyone would like to donate to assist with his medical care, I would be forever grateful as this nightmare has been completely unexpected. The link to donate is in my bio. I’m so beside myself right now and my heart is broken.”

For those wanting to send well-wishes, Deavan set up a P.O. Box just for Taeyang.  She shared the information on a recent Instagram post, apparently Taeyang’s grandmother Elicia Clegg is taking care of that correspondence.

Finally, Deavan thanked her fans for all the support they have shown since Taeyang’s diagnosis.  She ended the post with the following hashtags; #leukemia #childhoodcancer #prayersfortaeyang #westandwithtaeyang #teamtaeyang.

Many fellow reality TV stars added words of support to the massive outpouring that Deavan has received.  90 Day Fiance alum Corey Charles Rathgeber commented, “I’m so sorry.  I hope all goes well.” Larissa Dos Santos Lima wrote, “Praying for your family.”  Paola Mayfield posted, “I am so sorry you are going going through something like this, sending you all the positive thoughts for him, for you, and your family.” Darcey and Stacey star Darcey Silva wrote, “I’m so sorry! My family and I send our love and support to your son and you and your family.  We will be praying for him and you all. Our thoughts are with you!”

Dorit Kemsley’s still dealing with a lot of anxiety following the robbery. She’s trying her best to work through her issues, but it’s a lot. It’s weird hearing Lisa Rinna use the word violation about Dorit, but Crystal Kung Minkoff wasn’t allowed to do it. Noted.

Garcelle Beauvais phones Crystal the next morning to find out how she’s doing. She’s obviously holding on to issues from last season, and that’s okay. People in this group hold grudges for far too long over far less. Crystal’s entitled to her feelings, and Garcelle convinces her to stop by and talk it out.

Erika Jayne says she was backed into a corner last year, so being back in the same place is crazy. She’s trying to concoct a narrative that the victims are lying about not receiving their money. Girl, bye. Who is Erika trying to fool here? She’s crafting a facade that her life is perfect and back to normal, and everyone sees through it.

Garcelle’s looking at Erika like every word coming out of her mouth is straight bullshit. Period. She’s not going to sit there and accept the garbage is being spewed in her direction. She’s better than that, and the rest of the group should follow suit.

Diana Jenkins hangs out with Sutton Stracke, and they recall the incident from the night before. I’m surprised Sutton is hanging out with Diana after things she said about her. It’s only a matter of time before that situation blows up.

The group wants Crystal to speak her truth and open up about how she was feeling. Crystal’s willing to do it, but she doesn’t want to talk about it again after this. Last season she felt a big campaign to police her feelings, so she shuts down a lot. They aren’t a safe space for her. She’s allowed to say how she feels.

Out of nowhere, Garcelle says she felt Crystal set Sutton up last season. What a blindside! Crystal didn’t see that coming at all. She brings up something about Sutton from last year saying there was something dark we never heard.

I hate when people bring something up like that, and then don’t want to talk about it. If Crystal isn’t going to share her thoughts, why bring it up?

Crystal’s treading on thin ice by pulling something like this. She’s giving everyone in the group ammunition to come after her. She might wreck her friendship with Sutton over this. Plus, there’s a good chance she’s alienating herself from the Fox Force Four as well. I’d hate to see Crystal on an island by herself just because she didn’t get her point across in the most articulate way.

It looks like Sutton’s french designer made it over the border. I know that was a big fire for her to try and put out, so I’m happy it was hosed out. Now that he’s here, she’s hosting a Parisian party. She loves a good French-themed event. She might be the biggest Francophile on the planet.

Lisa won’t be attending the party because her mother had a stroke. We know this isn’t good. This is about making her comfortable because she has a DNR. We know how much she loves her, so this is another heartbreaking moment for the women this season. Say what you want about Rinna, but nobody wants to lose a parent. It’s the worst feeling. Erika also won’t be attending the party. No surprise there.

Garcelle tells Sutton to watch her back with her new friend Crystal because of what she alluded to. This could be the thing that comes in between Sutton and Garcelle for the first time. Crystal needs to just say what it is, so we can move on. This doesn’t need to be something dragged on for too many episodes.

Kyle Richards and Garcelle are the ghost-producing duo I never knew I needed. Kyle says she was there that night and heard everything, so she knows what really went down. She knows there’s something to this Sutton/Crystal thing, but it’s going in circles. Garcelle tried to tell Crystal that dark was a strong word, but Crystal SNAPPED.

Crystal was crystal clear when she said she didn’t want that word thrown in her face. However, that’s what happens when you throw out an ambiguous comment and don’t elaborate. This is far from over.

Dorit’s getting some sort of counseling or help for what she’s going through since the robbery. She’s doing EMDR which is apparently a good therapy for victims of traumas. It helps reprogram the brain to associate negative events with positive feelings.

You can tell Dorit’s going THROUGH it. Reliving the men holding her at gunpoint has to be harrowing. Dorit breaks down at the mere thought of something scary happening to her children. She could’ve lost them that night. Hell, she could’ve lost her own life as well. It’s haunting her. No matter what she does, the thought of the entire family being killed destroys her internally.

TELL US – TEAM CRYSTAL OR TEAM GARCELLE? SHOULD CRYSTAL JUST SAY WHAT SUTTON SAID? ARE YOU ENJOYING THIS SEASON OF THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF BEVERLY HILLS?

As you've no doubt heard by now Johnny Depp won his defamation case against Amber Heard on Wednsesday.

The decision came as a shock to many, as the burden of proof in defamation cases is notoriously high.

Depp sued Heard for $50 million in connection with a 2018 Washington Post essay in which she identitied herself as a survivor of domesticabuse.

The case was considered an especially tough one for Depp, as Heard did not mention him by name in the article.

But in the end, Team Depp emerged triumphant -- and the jury's decision has proven to be every bit as controversial as the rest of the trial.

Moments after the verdict was announced Depp issued a statement that was met with a rapturous response on social media, with much of the praise coming from fellow celebs.

"Six years ago, my life, the life of my children, the lives of those closest to me, and also, the lives of the people who for many, many years have supported and believed in me were forever changed," Depp wrote.

"False, very serious and criminal allegations were levied at me via the media, which triggered an endless barrage of hateful content, although no charges were ever brought against me, it had already traveled around the world twice within a nanosecond and it had a seismic impact on my life and my career," the actor wrote.

Depp concluded with a statement of gratitude to his fans, writing, "I am truly humbled."

A long list of stars either liked the post or commented with heart emojis, including Riley Keough, Rahul Kohli, Ryan Adams, Ricki Lake, Nikki Bella, Eli Brown, Teen Mom 2 star Briana DeJesus, Atiana de la Hoya and Connor and Isabella, who are the children of Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman.

As Too Fab reports, numerous other celebs expressed support for Depp in their own social media posts.

Ashley Benson posted a photo of Depp waving to Instagram with a caption readinf, "YESSSSS [string of heart emojis]" -- The Walking Dead star Laurie Holden:

Today justice was served. The verdict of the jury sent a message to the world that abuse has no gender and that facts actually do matter. #TruthWins."

"Wow, it wasn’t what I was expecting. I mean, I wanted Johnny to win but I didn't expect him to," Sharon Osbourne remarked on Piers Morgan's talk show.

"#MeToo is dead. Helluva job @ACLU," Meghan McCain tweeted, seemingly in reference to the courtroom revelation that the organization had ghostwritten Heard's Washington Post piece.

Heard had her share of supporters, as well, including comedian Amy Schumer, who did not mention the actress by name, but instead posted the following quote from renowned feminist Gloria Steinem:

"Any woman who chooses to behave like a full human being should be warned that the armies of the status quo will treat her as something of a dirty joke ... She will need her sisterhood."

“The disappointment I feel today is beyond words. I’m heartbroken that the mountain of evidence still was not enough to stand up to the disproportionate power, influence, and sway of my ex-husband," Heard wrote.

"I’m even more disappointed with what this verdict means for other women. It is a setback. It sets back the clock to a time when a woman who spoke up and spoke out could be publicly shamed and humiliated," the actress continued.

"It sets back the idea that violence against women is to be taken seriously.

Depp was awarded $10 million in compensatory damages and $5 million in punitive damages, which the judge lowered to $350,000 due to the state's cap.

Heard was awarded $2 million in compensatory damages.

The actress is expected to appeal the decision, which means this matter could be re-litigated in the very near future

We'll have further updates on this developing story as more information becomes available.

As we head into June, the cold war between Lindsay Hubbard and Austen Kroll may be thawing. These two called it quits on social media when Linds unfollowed Austen after the most cringe episode of Watch What Happens Live in modern Bravo history. During the episode, Austen was repeatedly prompted to pick from either Lindsay or his other love interest in the Summer House, Ciara Miller.

Austen relentlessly selected Ciara over Lindsay in the game. Even for the most mundane prompts. It was really painful and seemingly cruel. It’s like he forgot Linds was in the front row of the audience. Or more like, he has no consideration for anyone in his orbit? At the time Lindsay shared how painful it was saying, “Thank God [Austen’s sister] was there because I was holding her hand, like, the world was coming to an end!”

Lindsay then unfollowed Austen on social media saying, “I can’t be [OK] with keeping that kind of person in my life. Like, I spend so much time caring and nurturing for my friendships and being the best friend I can be to everyone around me.”

Lindsay announced, “If it’s not going to be reciprocated [after] almost four years of friendship and if it’s still not there, then I don’t need to train a 34-year-old man how to be a good friend to me.” Women everywhere would love it if you did, though.

Maybe, just maybe, things are changing for Austen? According to @queensofbravo, Lindsay and Austen are back to following eachother on Instagram. I guess Lindsay needed a little more backwards hat and toothless grin content in her life? Or has Austen actually stepped it up? There’s like no way, right?

Indeed, there is not. The post shared by @queensofbravo also included a video clip originally posted to Kyle Cooke’s Instagram story. Apparently, Lindsay allowed Austen back into her social media world so that he could “vote for her” for an MTV nomination. Convenient! How’s that for nurtuing a friendship?

Austen has all but run dry on friends, so he better be grateful for this moment. Even his bestie Craig Conover stopped talking to him over the Lindsay and Ciara drama during the latest season of Summer House. And the trailer for Southern Charm shows Shep Rose putting Austen in his place as well. We love to see it.

We have an update on Matthew Morrison getting relieved from his duties as a judge on So You Think You Can Dance.

And it doesn't paint the former Glee star in a very positive light.

An insider with behind-the-scenes knowledge of the reality show has told People Magazine that Morrison was fired from the program "after he had an inappropriate relationship with a female contestant."

Yikes, huh?!?

"They didn't have sex, but he reached out to her through flirty direct messages on social media," the source told People.

"She felt uncomfortable with his line of comments and went to producers, who then got Fox involved. He was fired after they did their own investigation."

The outlet added that Morrison and the unidentified female contestant "never met up off-set."

So it therefore sounds to us like less of a relationship... and more of Morrison acting like a shady douche canoe.

"It was just messages that crossed the line," the People source said.

News of Morrison's departure broke last Friday, just a few days after So You Think Can Dance kicked off Season 17 on Fox.

At the time, Morrison said in a statement that he was leaving the competition after failing to follow "competition production protocols."

We suppose that is technically accurate.

"Having the opportunity to be a judge on So You Think You Can Dance was an incredible honor for me. Therefore, it is my deepest regret to inform you that I will be leaving the show," Morrison said late last week.

"After filming the audition rounds for the show and completing the selection of the 12 finalists,

"I did not follow competition production protocols, preventing me from being able to judge the competition fairly," the actor continued.

"I cannot apologize enough to all involved and I will be watching alongside you all on what I know will be one of the best seasons yet."

Morrison was part of an all-new judging panel on So You Think You Can Dance, which also includes JoJo Siwa and Stephen "tWitch" Boss.

Because the dancing show's' early episodes were all pretaped, Morrison will still appear on the series through mid-June.

According to Entertainment Weekly, a new panelist is expected to be brought in in time for the next part of the competition, beginning June 15.

Along these same lines, an announcement about Morrison's successor is expected shortly.

At this time, Matthew Morrison has not commented on this report.

We'll update this story if the actor issues any sort of statement in response to these new allegations.
