Collin Gosselin continues to shed light on his complicated relationship with his mom, Kate Gosselin.

In a preview for VICE TV’s upcoming series Dark Side of the 2000s, the 19-year-old opened up about growing up with the 48-year-old reality star around the time when she broke up with his father, Jon Gosselin, a decade ago. During that time for the reality TV family, Collin shared that it was especially tough for him, as Kate allegedly would “take out her anger” on him:

“I know my mother was going through a lot of things. I mean, a divorce, and plenty of different things that can’t be easy to go through. And, you know, I want to think that she needed someone to take out her anger and frustration on, and it was just kind of me. I was in the way and I was there. So, she chose me.”

Awful. The preview didn’t show Collin getting into the details of how she took “her anger and frustration” out on him. But as Perezcious readers may know, the two have had a rocky relationship for a while now. There have also been abuse allegations in the past. And a few years after the former couple’s divorce in 2010, Kate put him in an institution to deal with alleged behavior issues. After leaving treatment, the teen ended up moving in with Jon and one of the exes’ sextuplets Hannah Gosselin. He ended up severing ties with his mom.

They’ve remained estranged ever since. He also doesn’t have a relationship with the other sextuplets Aaden, Joel, Leah, and Alexis, or the twins Cara and Madelyn. Looking back at his childhood, the Jon & Kate Plus 8 alum told VICE TV:

“I’m not going to say I was a perfect child. But I’d say my misbehaving was no different than from my siblings.”

According to Hannah, her brother was often “separated” from the rest of the family:

“He would be separated from us. Like, he would not get to come and play outside with us. He would eat dinner at different times than us. I don’t think effort was made in the home to help him learn what behavior is acceptable and what behavior is not acceptable.”

That’s heartbreaking to hear. It seems like the two Gosselin siblings are going to get super real about their childhood and life with Kate when the series drops later this month. You can see the teaser (below):

One couple in Texas are lending a helping hand to a boy who knocked on their door looking for friends.

Brennan Ray and Angell Hammersmith posted a heart-wrenching video last week of their young neighbor Shayden Walker, who got up the courage to go to ask if they knew anyone he could be friends with. In the clip from the couple’s doorbell camera, he could be seen wearing a Jaws tee and shuffling nervously on the front steps of their home in Amarillo, Texas. When Brennan answered the door, Shayden asked:

“Hi. I just wanted to see if you knew any kids around like, 11 or 12, maybe, because I need some friends. Like, really bad.”

Brennan then directed him toward another house down the street where a few kids lived. However, Shayden immediately turned that idea down for a heartbreaking reason. He explained to Brennan that those kids down the street aren’t his friends anymore because they bullied him. The boy then asked his neighbor if he had any children. Brennan did – but he had a 2-year-old daughter. That didn’t deter Shayden, who replied:

“Oh, OK that’s great. I love 2-year-olds to be honest. They’re just the most cutest things I have ever known. I used to have a 2-year-old sister. She was a handful, but I really enjoyed having spending time with her.”

Although Brennan ultimately didn’t know of any other neighbor kids around, he promised to say hello whenever he saw Shayden around. You can ch-ch-check out the gut-wrenching video (below):

@brennanray

Its takes 2 seconds to make someones day, you never know what people are going through until you get a chance to talk to them. This young man is well mannered, kind, and brave. So tiktok can we help shayden make some friends???#fyp #bekind #nobullying #love #kindness #letschangetheworld

♬ original sound – Brennan Ray

Our hearts just break for Shayden! That was really brave of him for asking. A part-two video posted by the couple showed that Shayden had approached their house 30 minutes before this interaction. However, he seemingly became nervous and turned away. And now, Brennan and Angell decided to do something nice for him to make him “feel special.”

The pair’s initial video quickly went viral, with more than 66 million views and 10 million likes, so they decided to launch a GoFundMe for the kid to help him make friends. They set the goal to $7,000, explaining that the money would get him a gaming system, school clothes, and possibly some amusement park tickets.

@brennanray

Lets make this kid feel special! Will post go fund me page in description. Pt 3 will be him receiving everything. ????#fyp #bekind #nobullying #letschangetheworld #happiness #heartwarming

♬ original sound – Brennan Ray

But Shayden’s story tugged at the heartstrings of many people. With an outpouring of support, Angell and Brennan blew their donation goal out of the park and raised more than $37,000 for the child! That’s amazing! The duo posted in the GoFundMe:

“Thank you all for your generosity and kindness! We expected to see support from this community but we’re shocked and amazed by how everyone’s shown up for Shayden. We decided to turn off donations while we coordinate with his family, but all funds will stay in the GoFundMe account until then. We’ll keep you updated along the way. Thank you! #kindnessmatters”

In another Tiktok video, Brennan and Angell express how they were “thankful” for everyone’s generosity and shared that they were going to meet Shayden soon.

@brennanray

Thank you all for your generosity and kindness! We expected to see support from our community but we’re shocked and amazed by how everyone’s shown up for Shayden. Shaydens mom decided to turn off donations, but all funds will stay within the GoFundMe account until they say otherwise. We’ll keep you updated along the way. Thank you! #kindnessmatters #bullyingawareness #love #kindness #fyp

♬ original sound – Brennan Ray

This is just another reminder that kindness can go a long way. We’re sending so much support to Shayden, and hope this act of kindness brings a smile to his face. Reactions, Perezcious readers? Let us know in the comments. You can also see the GoFundMe set up for Shayden HERE.

Beyoncé won’t be happy about her dirty laundry aired to the world like this!

For those who don’t know, the 41-year-old singer’s father, Mathew Knowles, had an affair with actress Alexsandra Wright in the late 2000s – while he was still married to Tina Lawson. She ended up getting pregnant and having their son, Nixon Alexander Knowles. Alexsandra served him legal papers in order to force him to take a paternity test, which inevitably proved he was the dad to Nixon.

When the affair and paternity scandal came to light, Tina and Mathew got a divorce. But his infidelity did more than ruin his marriage — it also ended his relationship with Beyoncé and her sister Solange. The Daddy Lessons removed Mathew as her manager, and the two siblings have been estranged from him ever since. They even refused to attend his wedding with Gena Charmaine in June 2022.

Related: Beyoncé Cancels Concert Over ‘Production Logistics’ — Or Is It Really Poor Ticket Sales?

As for Alexsandra and Nixon? The now 13-year-old has no relationship with Beyoncé, and that doesn’t seem to be changing anytime soon. In an interview with The Sun published on Saturday, Alexsandra shared that Queen Bey hasn’t reached out to either of them – despite living only ten miles away in California. And the reason for the lack of contact? The 52-year-old believes their still some healing that needs to be done following the cheating drama:

“She (Beyonce) is a billionaire and just bought the most expensive house in California, ten miles from where we live. But no, there has not been any contact. The pain still needs to heal.”

But unfortunately, Nixon has to suffer the consequences of her and Mathew’s actions. Alexsandra told the outlet her son’s estrangement with Beyoncé hurts, and he often questions why his half-sister doesn’t “love” him:

“My main concern has been dealing with a child that asks, ‘Why doesn’t that person love me? It’s a very human story and I sit in the bathroom and cry sometimes because I just don’t know how to help him be his own person.”

That’s heartbreaking to hear about Nixon. Alexsandra went on to say that he is constantly facing tough questions about his sibling in school:

“People will ask him straight up at school, ‘Are you the brother?’ Whatever they can Google they will ask him directly and even the grown-ups will take pictures of him. Nixon has never had the luxury of being a normal child. Being related to someone famous smothers kids like him and they lose their identity. They are so and so’s brother or stepkid. It’s hard for him to comprehend and he’s a quiet kid and very reserved.”

She continued:

“I tell him, ‘fame does not equal happiness’ so never covet what someone else has’. But it’s hard to see people living as billionaires. What does that kid think when I am working 16 hours a day and trying to get accounts paid? How does it feel? I think Beyonce is a lovely person and she has never done anything to harm me. I don’t want anything from them. I just want my son to be free and to have a happy life.”

Sadly, Beyoncé isn’t the only one with no relationship with Nixon. According to Alexsandra, Mathew has never met his child – although he does pay child support. Despite the sad situation, she holds out hope that Nixon will eventually meet his other family members:

“I believe our children and grandchildren will be much better human beings than we are. They have Snapchat and all that. I think they will find a way to open up and have that conversation.”

A very sad situation all around. Reactions to the family drama, Perezcious readers? Let us know in the comments below.

This is getting out of hand.

As you no doubt know, there has been a trend recently of performers getting pelted with objects while on stage over the past few weeks. Last month, Bebe Rexha was hit in the eye with a cell phone and got a massive shiner during her show in New York City. The person who threw the device was arrested and admitted he thought it “would be funny.” There’s absolutely nothing funny about throwing an item at someone and injuring them. Then, someone stormed the stage and slapped Ava Max during a show. Kelsea Ballerini was also hit in the eye with a bracelet. Awful. Sadly, so many others have joined the list of celebs getting objects hurled at them during a concert! And now, Harry Styles is the latest victim of this terrible trend.

During his concert in Vienna on Saturday night, the 29-year-old singer was walking across the stage in between songs when suddenly an unknown object hit him directly in his left eye. Ouch! Videos captured by fans of the incident showed Harry visibly in pain, as he winced, covered his face with his hands, and doubled over. However, the As It Was artist seemed to push through it and continued to walk off-stage. You can see the moment (below):

Ugh. Stop throwing things on stage! It’s super dangerous, and no artist deserves to be treated this way. And we’re not the only ones sick of this trend!

Following the incident with Harry, people have taken to social media to say enough is enough already with throwing objects at celebrities on stage. And many pointed out that if this trend continues, they fear the way everyone gets to experience concerts will change or phones will be banned moving forward. See the reactions (below):

“Why do people keep doing this, paying money for front row just to do this too. I’m tired of y’all.”

“This object throwing culture is about to kill how we experience concerts & festivals moving forward. They’re about to get more expensive and more exclusive.”

“I genuinely don’t understand like I get throwing stuff on the stage where they’ll see it but they always aim for the face like why???”

“The fact that this seems like a ‘trend’ now is infuriating. Y’all are gunna take away live music from the people who actually care about the performers well being.”

“people need to stop throwing things and respect artists, like it’s getting tiring”

“this is happening so often they are eventually going to ban you from taking anything inside or ban concerts in general”

“I had my recording on when something hit harry today in the eyes. This is disgusting and disrespectful, i really hope he‘s ok #LoveOnTourVienna #HSLOT #vienna #harrystyles

“y’all not going to be f**king with Harry styles now…y’all losing your damn minds!!! WTH is the world coming to where entertainers being assaulted….trying to entertain people….you buy tickets to assault stars? Like is this a new era of crazy……!!!! People are really losing there minds. Stars are going to stop doing concerts because people are really CRAZY out here!”

As we said before, this needs to stop already. Reactions to the latest incident, Perezcious readers? Let us know in the comments below.

Everyone just wants to know what’s going on with Madonna amid her health scare!

As we’ve reported, the 64-year-old superstar was rushed to the hospital on June 24 after she was found unresponsive in her home in New York. Her manager Guy Oseary revealed to everyone that she “developed a serious bacterial infection” that landed her in the ICU for several days. Then, more details about the situation came out – with sources claiming she had been sick for several weeks.

Related: Inside Madonna’s Grueling Late-Night Rehearsal Schedule That Landed Her In Hospital

But Madonna’s health scare allegedly turned out to be even scarier than we first thought. A report came out from Radar Online this week that the pop icon had to be revived with Narcan! For those who don’t know, Narcan or Naloxone is typically used in an emergency to save someone who is suffering from a drug overdose. But does this mean Madonna actually OD’d? Not necessarily. You see, the National Institute on Drug Abuse‘s website says it supposedly can be used to reverse acute septic shock. Madonna reportedly suffered from septic shock as a result of the infection. As Pfizer, a manufacturer of naloxone, even states on its website:

“Naloxone has been shown in some cases of septic shock to produce a rise in blood pressure that may last up to several hours; however this pressor response has not been demonstrated to improve patient survival.”

The site continued:

“In some studies, treatment with naloxone in the setting of septic shock has been associated with adverse effects, including agitation, nausea and vomiting, pulmonary edema, hypotension, cardiac arrhythmias, and seizures. The decision to use naloxone in septic shock should be exercised with caution, particularly in patients who may have underlying pain or have previously received opioid therapy and may have developed opioid tolerance. Because of the limited number of patients who have been treated, optimal dosage and treatment regimens have not been established.”

Radar Online also noted that nothing is pointing to Madonna needing Narcan due to drug use or an overdose. However, many doctors and medical professionals aren’t buying it! They have chimed in on the situation and insisted that Narcan does not normally treat septic shock. See some of the reactions (below):

So now, this begs the question: What’s really happened with Madonna? Did she get injected with Narcan – and not because of septic shock? Did her manager make up a story to cover alleged drug use? It’s not unheard of in the entertainment industry! Or was she actually never injected the medicine, meaning Radar’s story was false? Who knows! But as we mentioned, experts seem very skeptical about the outlet’s report!

No doubt everyone has questions about what’s going on! At the time of the Narcan report, the outlet noted that “a spokesperson for Madonna had no comment.” So her team seems to be keeping their lips sealed on the matter, at least for now. At the end of the day, though, we wish Madonna nothing but the best as she continues to recover. Thoughts, Perezcious readers? Are you buying Radar’s report? Let us know in the comments below.

[Warning: Potentially Triggering Content]

An ex-girlfriend of Jonah Hill has come forward about the emotional abuse she suffered throughout their relationship.

Sarah Brady took to Instagram Stories on Friday to open up about her romance with the 39-year-old actor, and she did not hold back, accusing him of being a “narcissist,” “misogynist,” and all-around toxic partner. And the 25-year-old brought out the receipts to back up her claims!

The drama started on Thursday when Sarah dropped a black-and-white photo of herself, along with the caption that said she was “reviving a pic I took down by request of a misogynist narcissist.” She didn’t name who this “misogynist narcissist” person was at the time. However, the surfer later revealed their identity when she liked a comment that read:

“I just want to say… that the type of man Jonah is, some of us think we can ‘save’ them in the sense that we can show them how worthy of love they are and outdo all of the trauma and harm in their life that caused them to be so insecure.”

Naturally, many determined that she was referring to Jonah as the ex who made her take this picture down. Instead of leaving it at that, Sarah decided to tell her story. She went on to drop a bunch of text message exchanges with Jonah from 2021 on the IG Stories, a lot of which showed how he was often upset about her posting pictures of herself on social media in a bathing suit or hanging out with male friends. She first wrote:

“This is a warning to all girls. If your partner is talking to you like this, make an exit plan. Call me if you need an ear.”

In the texts, Jonah allegedly asked her to remove any surfing photos from her social media that featured her “a** in a thong” — even though she wasn’t wearing one. After she deleted “all the posts,” he told her it was a “good start” but she still doesn’t “seem to get” the point, adding:

“But it’s not my place to teach you. I’ve made my boundaries clear. “You refuse to let go of some of them and you’ve made that clear and I hope it makes you happy.”

You can see it (below):

Sarah went on to share another alleged text message from Jonah, in which he told her she lacked “boundaries.” He even told her that if she chose to surf “with men,” “to model,” “to post pictures of yourself in a bathing suit,” “to post sexual pictures,” and “have friendships with women who are in unstable places and from your wild recent past,” then he was not the right boyfriend for her. Seriously?! That is messed up. See the receipt (below):

(c) Sarah Brady/Instagram

Interestingly enough, Sarah shared that he used to send her flirty comments on her surf pictures – before they became an item. However, that all changed once their relationship started in 2021, and he started to make these kinds of comments, which says were in an effort to manipulate her. See (below):

(c) Sarah Brady/Instagram

Why did she comply with his requests? Sarah explained that she did so in an attempt to “protect” him from “crippling anxiety.” She also noted that she often “took blame” for him and his actions.

And as for why she’s sharing this now? Sarah explained that she dropped these messages “because keeping it to myself was causing more damage to my mental health than sharing it could ever do.” She also pointed out that “someone being an emotionally abusive partner doesn’t mean they’re a terrible person” and that it “often stems from their own trauma.” But Sarah also noted that “at the same time, it doesn’t mean it’s OK.”

The digs from Sarah didn’t end there. She added in another slide she hoped Jonah had a daughter with his current partner Olivia Millar so that perhaps he’ll actually turn into a “feminist”:

“I hope my ex has a daughter, maybe she’ll turn him into a real feminist. Because the fact that he calls himself a feminist now is laughable. … If I could have one wish for him it would be that he is surrounded by feminist men who can hold him accountable to grow in the ways he has expressed he wants to. I think fame can put people in an echo chamber of viewpoints, which can enable emotionally abusive behavior.

There was a lot posted on her Instagram! But basically, she detailed how controlling and manipulative Jonah allegedly had been during their entire relationship. You can more of the receipts from Sarah (below):

Sam Asghari is determined to get Britney Spears an apology from the San Antonio Spurs!

As you most likely know by now, the 41-year-old pop sensation was backhanded by the Director of Team Security for the Spurs, Damian Smith, when she went to speak with NBA star Victor Wembanyama at the ARIA Hotel in Las Vegas. Victor initially told reporters that Britney “grabbed” him. However, a video released by TMZ on Friday does not support his claim! Instead, the clip showed Britney running up to the athlete and yelling “Sir, sir” to get his attention. She then tapped Victor on his left shoulder – not grabbed as he claimed. Suddenly, a man’s left hand comes out and hits Britney across the face, knocking off her glasses. Awful. The Toxic singer can be heard saying out loud in a British accent:

“That’s America for you. F**k you all!”

Understandably, Britney was upset by what transpired, and she ended up filing a police report for the alleged battery incident. But the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department ultimately determined that no charges would be filed against the guard after completing an investigation. Crazy to think that’s not happening, considering the video evidence! And you would think since no charges are being filed a public apology would then be made to Britney for what happened, right?

However, it turns out Britney still has not received one! Sam took to the comments section of the NBA team’s picture of Victor and Sidy Cissoko to demand an apology for the violent attack against his wife. The 29-year-old actor wrote on Instagram:

“Still waiting on that apology. Until then we assume your team and the NBA is okay with assault and violence against women.”

Wow. It’s not that hard to take two seconds to say sorry for the incident, and the fact that the team hasn’t issued one yet is awful! You can see his since-deleted comment (below):

 

Despite what went down and the lack of apology this week, Britney doesn’t seem to be holding an ill will towards Victor. She hopped on the ‘gram on Friday to explain her reaction to the slap in the video of the incident, saying:

“I’ve been working in the industry for years and have been with some of the most famous people in the world … NSYNC at one point were like The Beatles … girls would throw themselves at them everywhere we went … not one time in my life has a security guard ever hit another person !!! I’m not sharing this to be a victim … I SIMPLY GET IT HONESTLY … my reaction was priceless … BAD ??? YES … I’ve had documentaries done about me and none of which I approved … I have felt helpless in most situations and my experience in Vegas and my reaction was a cry out on all levels … I will say it !!!”

She went on to express how she did not blame the 19-year-old basketball player for what the security guard did – but also felt she’s been treated unfairly:

“No, I don’t feel like I have been treated as an equal person in this country … of course when I watched the video myself … the people who actually swarmed around me when they heard me get hit made me feel like I mattered !!! I wasn’t aware of that at the time … all people could hear was me saying f**k you all … which was WAY BETTER THAN HITTING HIM BACK !!! Either way I’m still a huge fan of the NBA player … it’s not his fault his security hit me … s**t happens !!! I hope you’re all having a wonderful Friday !!!”

Hopefully, Britney gets her apology soon. Reactions to the latest, Perezcious readers? Let us know in the comments below.

The case of not-so-missing teen Rudolph “Rudy” Farias continues to puzzle police. Meanwhile the tangled history of the mom who allegedly faked his disappearance is slowly being uncovered.

Rudy’s story has continued to stun the world. He was miraculously found unconscious outside of a church in Houston after being missing for nearly a decade. His story gave many loved ones of missing people hope that they’d be found one day, as the now 25-year-old was returned to his mother — that is, until the truth of the story started to unfold.

After the missing boy’s mother, Janie Santana, spoke with local news outlets and told them his story of how she believed he had been beaten and tortured, all the details started to fall apart. Neighbors came forward to claim the mom was lying and said Rudy had been living at home with her all these years. Friends said they’d seen him often over those eight years, that he’d come over to hang out with them in their garage — only they knew him as Dolph. They couldn’t believe he’d ever been reported missing.

And then things took a turn for the downright horrifying, when local activist Quanell X alleged Janie had been manipulating Rudy and sexually abusing him all these years. He said Rudy had told him as much!

Police have not corroborated the sexual abuse claims, saying the victim never reported sexual abuse to them — but they did confirm that he WAS at home all this time. The disappearance was a lie. Apparently his mom was making up aliases and keeping his return a big secret, continuing to use missing persons’ resources to advocate for the safe return of her son. She also pocketed about $2k from a GoFundMe campaign — and has since been banned from using the platform ever again.

The twists and turns don’t stop there, though! While speaking to DailyMail.com on Friday, a man named Gilbert Quiroz claimed he’s Janie’s ex-husband, and he’s not the only one. He accused her of bigamy!

The 58-year-old veteran says he married Janie in October of 2012 but split from her just a year into their marriage because he found out she was married to “at least one” of five other people. He filed for divorce the following year detailing his concerns, saying their union was “null and void.” His then-wife fought back, though, accusing him of “extreme cruelty” and adultery — she demanded $25,000 in damages! Hmm…

They were married by proxy, according to legal docs obtained by the outlet, while Gilbert was stationed with the Arizona National Guard in Tucson. In his filings for divorce, it’s also worth noting that Janie is listed with SEVERAL aliases — which all ties back into the current allegations against her:

“Respondent is Janie Santana. Respondent has also previously used the names Janie Santana Rodriguez, Janie Santana Larios, Janie Santana Farias and possibly Janie Uresti. The purported marriage is void and of no effect … because Respondent was already legally married and a party to other purported marriages.”

The docs also said she married Patrick Rocha in July 1997 and John P. Gonzalez in August 1998. They went on to state in 2007 she was the “common law wife” of John T. Rodriguez, as well as a “common law wife” of Roberto Larios from 1999 to 2010. That’s not all, though — in 2009 she married Sucre Amaury Diaz. The filings against her say she was still married to Patrick when she married Gilbert — meaning she had never split from her first husband all that time! Not only that, only two months into being Gilbert’s wife, she went on and married Sucre! It’s unclear just how many of these marriages were still going at any one time.

What a pretzel of a love life! Seriously, what’s going on!

In 2015, just five months after she reported Rudy missing, the annulment from Gilbert was finally granted. There’s no word on if she’s still married to any of the other men or not, and she was rewarded no damages from her ex.

And this lawsuit from her ex-husband led straight into another one from her own sister…

Janie was sued by her 64-year-old sister Sylvia for the alleged mistreatment of their elderly mother Rosa who passed away in 2020. In a complaint filed just two months before Rosa’s passing, Sylvia said:

“Proposed Ward did not have a bed and slept on the couch which smelled of urine. At the time the Proposed Ward last went into the hospital, she had significant bed sores that had gone untreated.”

So awful…

Sylvia also mentioned the bigamy. She said in the filings that was one of the main reasons Janie didn’t properly care for Rosa — and even said she owed Roberto $43,000 for “fraudulent conduct” within their marriage. She also noted her sister, who was then using the alias Janie Uresti, was convicted for disorderly conduct over the illegal discharge of a firearm in 1994, which landed her 9 months probation and a $100 fine.

Another sister of Janie’s, Pauline, said Rosa knew Rudy was still at home and was never missing:

“My mom would always tell me, ‘Rudy is here … He’s there. He’s in that room. And Janie said, ‘No she’s lying, she’s losing it.’”

The 66-year-old went on to call her younger sister a “pathological liar”:

“She has always been a pathological liar. She lies about everything.”

Whoa.

This is a lot to take in! If this is true and she’s really been causing all these twists and turns with her lies, it just makes us wonder what REALLY happened to Rudy these past eight years.

As of right now, it seems like Janie is still on the run… Reactions, Perezcious readers?

Mama June Shannon won’t be coming around Lauryn “Pumpkin” Efird’s home anytime soon – not if Joshua Efird has anything to say about it!

As you know, it has been a tough few years for the family due to the matriarch’s costly struggle with addiction and trouble with the law. At the time, she also had an estranged relationship with her daughters. During her personal struggles, Lauryn ended up having to take care of her sister, Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson. She was then given sole custody of the 17-year-old in 2022.

It’s safe to say that the girls have been put through the wringer over the past few years. But on the latest season of Mama June: Family Crisis, viewers have seen a now-sober Mama June putting some effort into trying to repair her relationship with her daughters. They even attended a weekend-long therapy session together, which seemed to be a step in the right direction in the hopes of the family mending the fences.

Although Alana and Lauryn seem hopeful about the relationship with their mom moving forward, there’s one person who remains skeptical about June – Joshua. In fact, he is so worried about what will happen if the girls let the 43-year-old reality star back into their lives that he BANNED her from his and Lauryn’s home!

In a preview for Friday’s episode, Alana, Lauryn, and Jessica sat down to discuss their therapy weekend with Joshua. The Here Comes Honey Boo Boo star shared that she thought the time together “went well,” adding:

“I feel like we talked a lot of stuff … I don’t feel like Mama lied as much. I didn’t give it all to her, but I told her the important bits.”

Meanwhile, Lauryn pointed out that the family “took steps that haven’t been taken before” and believed June “was genuinely apologizing to all of us, individually.” But when she mentioned that June repeatedly said she missed spending time with their kids Ella, Bentley, Sylus, and Stella, Joshua refused to entertain the idea of her stepping one foot into their home again. Why? He’s afraid she’ll swoop in and ruin everyone’s lives with the “chaos” she tends to bring! Joshua explained in a confessional:

“Listen, I always want to support my wife in every way possible, but every time June shows up, she ruins everybody’s lives with the chaos that she brings with her. So distance is better.”

And he’s completely shutting the door on the idea of Mama June coming around to their home… for now, at least! As he told the girls:

“You know what I’m sorry about? I’m sorry she can’t come here. One weekend doesn’t fix all the f**kups over a period of time.”

He has a point! For her part, Lauryn understood his worries about Mama June but also pointed out that everyone cannot “move forward” if she doesn’t come over. But Josh would not budge on the matter:

“I don’t know, baby. The world’s so big. Go get some coffee, go to the ice cream shop, there’s a million other places to meet but here. Y’all spent one weekend, that doesn’t make it all hunky dory. She’s gonna have to prove to me just like she has to prove to you she wants to be around.”

He continued:

“I’m gonna have to put my foot down here and tell you, she’s not coming here, I’m not ready for her to see my kids. No means no, how about that? No kids, no house, no garage, no creek, no cul-de-sac, no nothing.”

After putting his foot down, he stormed away from the girls. Oof. You can see the teaser for the episode (below):

We cannot blame him for wanting to protect the girls after everything Mama June has put them through! But what are your thoughts on the matter, Perezcious readers? Do you feel Joshua is overreacting? Let us know in the comments below.

Vanna White isn’t impressed with how Wheel of Fortune is shaping up post-Pat Sajak.

Last month we reported that Ryan Seacrest is officially set to take over hosting duties on the fan-favorite television show after Sajak rounds out his decades-spanning role with his 41st and final season. At the time, Ryan announced that Vanna would be staying on as co-host, but soon after, The Pluck reported that the 66-year-old hadn’t received a raise in 18 years, and made only a fifth of Sajak’s reported $15 MILLION salary!

To fight for a more equal pay, Vanna hired an “aggressive new lawyer” to help negotiate a new deal, but insiders say Sony isn’t willing to give what she wants right now — just half of Sajak’s salary. Yikes.

Things have been contentious, to say the least, and a new report suggests issues may actually extend beyond pay.

On Friday, a source close to Vanna told DailyMail.com that the host is “disappointed” in Seacrest’s quick appointment as host, and that recent negotiations have made her feel “replaceable,” despite being a mainstay on the show for 41 years, since she was just 25:

“She was disappointed that they didn’t give her more of a chance to take over Pat’s job, or that she wasn’t able to give her two cents on the replacement. She didn’t assume they would be making the announcement of his replacement so soon.”

However, the insider did clarify that Vanna has “nothing but respect for Ryan and will be happy to work with him, but it just shows a lack of respect in her eyes that they have for her.”

Eesh. Poor Vanna… After 41 years with the show as co-host, you’d think they’d at least have a conversation with her about potentially taking over the main gig, or to at least get her thoughts on who should… The source added she DOES want to continue on with the show, but on terms that are negotiated more in her favor:

“She wants to be with the show for as long as she wants to be on the show, on her terms. She believes she deserves it. It is a major uphill battle, especially when money is involved and she sees the writing on the wall that they think she is replaceable. There will be lots of negotiations, but if she gets replaced and is not given a new contract, she will be beyond heartbroken. This has been her life, it would be just as powerful as a death if she doesn’t continue with the show.”

Ugh, THAT part breaks our hearts. This has been such a major part of Vanna’s life for 40+ years, since she was just in her 20s! Come on, where’s the respect??

The insider added that tides on the show first began to shift after longtime producer Harry Friedman retired back in 2019 at age 76 — a move that seemed to strip some of the power away from Pat and Vanna:

“Things got a little bit different with the show for Pat and Vanna during COVID, as the atmosphere changed on set once [Harry] left the show and retired. It just wasn’t the same vibe… Nobody dislikes anyone, it is just different, and the leverage that Pat and Vanna once had is not there anymore. Pat saw the writing on the wall and thought if there was ever a time to leave, now would be that time.”

Seems like Pat may have made the right decision leaving… For Vanna’s part, the source explained:

“She usually… keeps to herself, comes to work, does her thing, and leaves. She is friendly with everyone, but with the new regime, she doesn’t have the clout she once had, is no longer bulletproof, and is unfortunately made to feel replaceable. She doesn’t want to retire and leave the show, so she really hopes she doesn’t get pushed out. That is the last thing on her list to happen, she wants to stay, but she also wants it to be fair and is going to fight for what she believes in and what she deserves.”

What a sucky situation for the dedicated host. We certainly hope production execs realize her worth before it’s too late.
