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):

In a shocking turn of events on Friday, the 45-year-old reality star and the 37-year-old former football player decided to call off their divorce. This was completely unexpected given the fact that the couple had been so nasty toward each other for the past few months! But they seem to want to reconcile and work through their issues now — something their kids appear to be happy about! Shortly after the news broke, Ariana Biermann took to Instagram Stories to share a selfie of herself, along with the message, “God is so good.” Ch-ch-check it out (below):

She and her siblings must be so thrilled their parents are staying together! But what led them to make that decision? Well, we’re getting some answers! A source revealed to Page Six on Friday night that Kim and Kroy were in a good place agains, so she terminated her divorce filing:

“They’ve been working on things. They’ve been talking more lately and getting along, so she decided to call it off.”

Now, talk about a HUGE surprise with that statement! We’re talking about the two people who accused each other of everything from: gambling addictions, drug problems, mental abuse, kidnapping, and more over the past few months. So that doesn’t seem like they were “getting along,” at least to us!

Meanwhile, an insider shared with Us Weekly that the couple are “doing the best for their kids” and are “getting along at the moment.” However, the source mentioned that “Lord only knows what will happen” and “Tomorrow might be different.” Yeesh, they don’t seem sure that Kroy and Kim will work things out!

What do YOU think about the situation, Perezcious readers? Let us know in the comments below.

The post Kim Zolciak Was The First To Call Off The Divorce -- Here's What Happened! appeared first on Perez Hilton.

For those who haven’t heard, the pair announced on Instagram this week that they’ve decided to go their separate ways after six years of marriage. They wrote in a joint statement to fans:

“For some time, we have considered transforming our relationship, and it is after careful consideration that we have decided to end our marriage with love, respect and dignity for our children — preserving and honoring what we have experienced as a couple all these wonderful years. Our greatest desire now is to continue having a healthy family dynamic and a relationship centered on genuine friendship as we continue the joint upbringing of our children. As always, we thank you for all the love and support we received throughout our marriage. We are united in nurturing this new chapter of our lives.”

The reason for this sudden split? In a divorce petition filed by Ricky on Wednesday and obtained by People, he listed the old catch-all: “irreconcilable differences.” Hmm. He requested joint custody of their 4-year-old daughter Lucia and 3-year-old son Renn. The 51-year-old singer also agreed to pay spousal support to Jwan, in addition to his attorney fees. However, he has “yet to determine the full nature and extent of the separate property assets and obligations of each party” based on their prenup. It seems like Ricky is determined to make sure this divorce moves forward amicably – though we’ll have to see if that continues since not all of the details are hashed out yet.

Nevertheless, the divorce news came as a complete shock to fans. It seemed out of the blue, even to us! But apparently, those in Jwan and Ricky’s inner circle weren’t caught off guard by the split at all as they’ve known the former couple been “having relationship issues for two years now.” Oof. What were those problems within their marriage? Well, details weren’t given at the time.

However, a new report from Dailymail.com on Friday dropped a bombshell claim about Ricky and Jwan. An insider described as a close friend of the Livin’ La Vida Loca artist revealed that they were in an open marriage! They said:

“Like many couples, Ricky and Jwan had an open relationship for most of their marriage. This worked for them, until it didn’t.”

Wait, so was this the real reason for the divorce?! Not quite. The source made it clear to the outlet that no one fell for anyone else nor was the alleged arrangement remotely the cause of their marriage problems, explaining:

“Neither of them fell in love with someone else. Sex was something they engaged in together and separate with other partners. In the end, they decided that it was best for them, their well-being and for their kids if they end it amicably.”

Neither Ricky nor Jwan has addressed the report at this time. But the actor has been vocal about normalizing open relationships while discussing his role as Antonio D’Amico in The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story during a 2018 interview with Vulture.

What do YOU think about the new report? Are you buying the claim Ricky and Jwan were in an open marriage? Let us know in the comments below!

The post Ricky Martin & Jwan Yosef Reportedly Had An Open Marriage Before Split! appeared first on Perez Hilton.

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?

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.

Da Brat and her wife Jesseca “Judy” Harris-Dupart have welcomed their son! According to People, the rapper gave birth to her first child in Atlanta at 8:30 p.m. EST on Thursday evening. He weighed in at 7lbs, 8oz, and measured 20in long. Aw!

The Funkdafied star, who carried the little one after an IVF process to conceive with Judy’s egg and an anonymous sperm donor, gushed:

“I can’t BELIEVE he came out of me! Feels like a dream. He’s PERFECT in every way. […] Very appreciative for such a blessing of our bundle of joy. This journey has been more amazing than we could’ve ever imagined.”

They’ve named the little guy True Legend Harris-Dupart. It’s a pretty epic moniker — though they almost changed things up when they saw him.

Judy teased:

“His name had been True Legend Harris-Dupart but now that we’ve met him we are tempted to name him PERFECT.”

So sweet!

While this is Da Brat’s first child, Judy is already a mother of three. Interestingly, the musician never thought she wanted kids until falling in love with the Kaleidoscope Hair Products founder. After a “little tug-o-war,” per Judy, Da Brat decided to carry the child. It was a bumpy road, though. She wasn’t sure how it would go trying to pregnant at the then-age of 48. Then, amid the IVF process they suffered a heartbreaking miscarriage, the What’Chu Like artist recalled:

“I had never been so excited about something that I didn’t even know I wanted. I fell in love with the idea and then it was all snatched away from me. Luckily, we still had quite a few of her eggs left.”

We are so happy for the Brat Loves Judy stars! Little True is going to be so loved! Check out the first photos of the baby boy and an inside look at the birth (below)!

Many congrats!!! Reactions?! Let us know (below)!

The post Da Brat Welcomes First Child With Wife Jesseca Harris-Dupart -- At 49!! appeared first on Perez Hilton.

According to Us Weekly on Thursday, a source shared that the former couple is “determined” to put their six children — Kaia, Kane, KJ, Kash, Brielle, and Ariana – first despite what’s going on with their bitter divorce! They explained:

“Despite everything Kim and Kroy are going through, they will always put their children’s needs above all else. That’s their No. 1 priority no matter what and what will help them co-parent moving forward. Regardless of how they feel about each other, they’re determined to remain amicable when it comes to their kids.”

That’s great to hear they can agree on at least one thing. But Kim and Kroy may want to work on the amicable part because their breakup has been anything but so far!

Ever since they filed for divorce in May, the pair have been extremely nasty while exchanging back-and-forth accusations about each other. This includes claims about alleged gambling addictions, drug problems, mental abuse, and kidnapping. On top of the allegations against each other, they’ve also been dealing with some serious financial troubles. Kim and Kroy owe the IRS over $1 million and $15k to their home state of Georgia in unpaid taxes. And that’s only the start of their problems. Later, the two were also each sued by two different companies over unpaid bills.

Yeesh. Things aren’t looking good for Kim and Kroy! It’s definitely been a messy situation. However, they only have themselves to blame for it! Nevertheless, their split has been sad to watch play out, especially when you think about how their kids must be affected by this drama.

Despite how nasty they’ve been toward each other lately, the parents seem to be putting in the extra effort to play nice in front of their kids. They were spotted for the first time together, walking side by side with their children into church on Sunday. The Zolciak-Biermann crew also went to a local bakery later on. At least they are trying! And it’s a step in the right direction toward hopefully a solid co-parenting situation between Kim and Kroy in the future. You can ch-ch-check out the pictures from their day together (below):

Thursday morning, the exes revealed that after six long years or marriage, they’ve decided to end their relationship. The wrote in a joint statement on their Instagram pages:

“For some time, we have considered transforming our relationship, and it is after careful consideration that we have decided to end our marriage with love, respect and dignity for our children — preserving and honoring what we have experienced as a couple all these wonderful years. Our greatest desire now is to continue having a healthy family dynamic and a relationship centered on genuine friendship as we continue the joint upbringing of our children. As always, we thank you for all the love and support we received throughout our marriage. We are united in nurturing this new chapter of our lives.”

While it sounds like they’re really going to try and remain as amicable as possible for the sake of their family, split news just wasn’t something we were necessarily expecting from the estranged pair. It all just seems so sudden! Of course, there’s been the drama with the sexual assault claims aimed ay Ricky by his own nephew, Dennis Yadiel Sanchez, but last summer Jwan seemingly indicated that he didn’t believe any of it after the initial case was dropped. So who really saw this coming? Well, a new report says their friends might have…

A source close to the pair revealed that their relationship problems aren’t exactly new:

“Ricky and Jwan have been having relationship issues for two years now.”

Damn. Who would have known? Well, their inner circle! The insider added that the 51-year-old singer and the 38-year-old artist have been “very open telling friends about their issues.”

Now, we’re all for venting to your close pals, but how “open” is too open? When you represent your partner in a certain light to the people who love you, it’s not unusual for them to form their own outlook on that person, making a messy situation, well, even messier. However, the source did add they “were in therapy together,” but just “sadly couldn’t work things out.”

Sad. However, this actually isn’t the first time something has come out about their relationship challenges…

Back in 2020, the Livin’ La Vida Loca singer opened up to Univision about how the two “had problems” because of his own control issues — even when it came down to something as simple as changing their daughter’s diaper. He explained to the outlet at the time:

“[Jwan] would say, ‘Let me change her,’ and I would say, ’No! I’m going to change her.’”

We can definitely see how that would get difficult.

As for now, the source added “they’re planning on 50/50 custody to remain amicable for their family,” which includes 4-year-old daughter Lucia and 3-year-old son Renn. Ricky also is father to 14-year-old twin sons Matteo and Valentino, which he welcomed via surrogate in 2008. People reported Thursday Ricky will continue to raise them as a single father.

After getting blasted for outfit-shaming his girlfriend Keke Palmer, Darius Jackson has removed her from all his Instagram photos! Uh oh!!!

If you missed the drama, Darius called out Keke for wearing a sheer dress at an Usher concert after a video of her and the musician went viral over the weekend. He argued she was dressed inappropriately now that she’s a momma to their son, Leodis, who they welcomed in February.

For the most part, the internet rallied around the True Jackson, VP alum, and all the backlash had Darius defending himself on Twitter, writing:

“We live in a generation where a man of the family doesn’t want the wife & mother to his kids to showcase booty cheeks to please others & he gets told how much of a hater he is. This is my family & my representation. I have standards & morals to what I believe. I rest my case.”

It’s the outfit tho.. you a mom. https://t.co/qaQH6zWpkA

— Darius Daulton (@dvulton) July 5, 2023

Meanwhile, Keke didn’t directly address the controversy, but she did expertly clap back by posting a series of HAWT selfies in the stunning dress. Ch-ch-check it out!

In the comments, fans criticized Darius for making his concerns public, and they blasted him for displaying “shaming, sexist, and controlling” behavior. But there was also just a lot of love for Keke, including from Usher, who was spotted commenting on the post:

“The Big Boss!! Thank U for coming”

Very sweet!

Unfortunately, the drama is only just beginning for this couple! Fans actually dug through the fitness instructor’s profile and determined he was being a hypocrite when they noticed he posted a thirst trap — even though he’s a father!!

In a February post captioned “dad bode,” Darius can be seen taking two mirror selfies while sitting on his bed in nothing but a pair of boxers! Sooo… that’s okay but Keke’s dress was a problem!? Make it make sense!

Because of the backlash, Darius briefly deactivated both his IG and Twitter accounts on Thursday morning. And when he returned on Friday, fans noticed he’d completely scrubbed his grid of his partner! What!? As it stands, any photo with Keke has been removed, but he did keep those that feature his son. The Nope star hasn’t deleted any of her snapshots yet — but they are NOT following each other on the ‘gram! Oof. We wonder if this is the beginning of the end??

While they are not married, Keke gushed about becoming a mom alongside her partner back in February, telling ET he’s an “amazing dad” who “had the dedication, the patience and the discipline” that made her know she “wanted to have my baby with him.” We’d hate for their little family to get torn to bits all because he couldn’t handle her outfit choices! Thoughts?!
