Justin Stroud Shocks Mama on WEtv

Coming up during the rest of the season on Mama June: Family Crisis, Justin and his wife, June, have their hands full with Anna’s declining health. Soon, things take a turn for the worse with Anna.

She thinks things are going well — then she starts experiencing profound pain. Sadly, we know Anna doesn’t have much time left on the show because in real time she has already passed away.

Indeed, it’s going to be heartbreaking to see the conclusion of her battle. Naturally, Mama is distraught and overcome with overwhelming emotions. And she fears she will soon lose one of her daughters on Mama June: Family Crisis.

She says she’s trying to be as real and honest as possible. But the reason her marriage is on the rocks is because she hasn’t been honest with Justin. They still have the matter of the $30,000 that June owes Alana hanging over their heads.

Last we saw them, Justin told June if she doesn’t pay Alana back he’s leaving, and their marriage is over. However, in upcoming episodes, they are set to renew their vows.

So, Mama might do the right thing and give the money back to Alana on Mama June: Family Crisis. Then, she and Justin may recommit to one another and start fresh.

But, on the other hand, on the day of their vow renewal, Justin looks stressed out. So, he might not be able to go through with it. Either he’s going to recommit himself to Mama or call it quits for good.

Jessica Drops a Bomb on Mama June: Family Crisis

When fresh episodes return, Jessica and her girlfriend, Shyann McCant, share something big with fans. Jessica announces that they’re thinking about having a baby. Indeed, this is huge news, and the family is sure to be excited.

No doubt, they need some good news for a change. Meanwhile, Alana stresses over Dralin Carswell‘s upcoming court date. Also, Pumpkin has a heart-to-heart with Josh and tells him she wishes she chased her dreams.

Indeed, she regrets not pursuing her dream and turning her passion for baking into a career. Emotions are running high for everyone as the Mama June: Family Crisis saga continues.

It won’t be long until Justin Stroud and all the others are back for new installments of the hit WEtv reality show. Don’t miss a minute to see what’s next for them when they pick back up in June.

Mama June: Family Crisis celeb June Shannon and family are temporarily off-air. However, they will return soon for the most emotional episodes yet on the WEtv reality series.

Mama June: Family Crisis – June Shannon Returns as Anna’s Heartbreaking Story Concludes

Coming up this June, Mama June: Family Crisis will be back with new episodes. The main focus will be on Anna “Chickadee” Cardwell‘s tragic battle with Stage 4 Adrenal Carcinoma.

Most fans know that in real-time, Anna passed away on December 9, 2023. She leaves behind her husband, Eldridge Toney, and two young daughters, Kaitlyn Elizabeth and Kylee Madison.

Last we saw Anna, she was doing fairly well and staying positive. She joined the family in saying goodbye to her little sister, Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson as she left for college. But, soon on Mama June: Family Crisis, Anna takes a turn for the worst.

When the Shannon ladies return, we will see them struggle to cope as the disease progresses. The remainder of the season is sure to break our hearts as we watch Anna’s final days. No doubt, it will hit June Shannon especially hard.

Mama Facing Ultimatum on WEtv

Meanwhile, Mama’s marriage to Justin Stroud is in jeopardy because of the Coogan account situation with Alana. At the end of the last episode, Justin tells her if she doesn’t take $30,000 from their savings and give it to Alana, he’s leaving her. So, she’ll have to decide if she’s willing to cough up the cash or risk losing her husband and her daughter.

Will Alana Ever Forgive Mama on Mama June: Family Crisis?

When new episodes return, Mama faces a tough decision. Alana and her sister, Lauryn “Pumpkin” Shannon Efird won’t rest until they get the missing money from Mama. If she does not agree to hand it over, they’ll take more drastic measures.

Alana is not afraid to go after her mother legally and put her in jail if need be. However, if she’s forced to go that route, she’ll likely never forgive her mother. Neither will Pumpkin and the rest of the family may also turn on her.

Jessica “Chubbs” Shannon will likely support her sisters on Mama June: Family Crisis. And, of course, so will Pumpkin’s husband, Josh Efird. Plus, Mama’s sister, Joanne “Doe Doe” Shannon won’t want to be on the girl’s bad side.

So, she might also shun June. Indeed, Mama could lose everyone in her life if she doesn’t just fork over the money. Things are drastically intensifying for the Shannons. Tune in this June to see June Shannon and her girls back in action on the WEtv reality show.

Mama June: Family Crisis celeb June Shannon and her brood are taking a short break. However, they’ll be back soon to share the rest of their journey with the loyal fans of the WEtv reality spin-off.

Mama June: Family Crisis – June Shannon Pushes Alana & Pumpkin Too Far

In the current season of Mama June: Family Crisis, June Shannon is in the doghouse with two of her daughters. It recently came out that a big chunk of Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson‘s Coogan account money is missing.

This is the money she earned during her childhood days as a reality TV star. Mama admitted to using the money for family expenses as well as their home and vacations. But that’s not what the money was for, and Alana is furious.

In addition, her sister, Lauryn “Pumpkin” Shannon Efird, is also livid. Recently, she did some digging and found out exactly how much money Alana is missing. And she put Mama on blast.

She has shorted Alana $35,000 on Mama June: Family Crisis. Indeed, that could pay for two semesters of Alana’s college education. So, she wants the money back and she’s not afraid to take her to court. But, Mama’s husband, Justin Stroud, is taking a different approach.

Justin Done with Mama on WEtv

Justin is appalled by Mama’s actions and mostly by her lies. His sobriety and June’s sobriety are very important to him and they cannot maintain it without honesty. Furthermore, he wants her to do right by her daughter.

So, if she does not return the money, their marriage is over. Perhaps, Mama doesn’t think he’s serious, but he appears to be. The Mama June: Family Crisis brood are on a small break. But, they’ll come back on the air this June, and many things are changing.

Mama June: Family Crisis Stars Return in June

Currently, there is a pause in new episodes of Mama June: Family Crisis. The reality series is on a little break and picking back up in June. Last we saw the Shannon ladies, Alana was determined to get the $35,000 Mama owes her.

And Justin was as adamant as Alana. His ultimatum stands — if she won’t pay Alana back, he walks out of their marriage. So, when new episodes return, she has a life-changing decision to make on Mama June: Family Crisis.

Furthermore, the latest episodes will focus more on Anna “Chickadee” Cardwell‘s heart-wrenching cancer battle. Viewers know that in real-time, Anna has already passed away. She died on December 9, 2023. Anna lost her battle to cancer and her family is struggling to go on without her.

But when the reality series returns, we will see the remainder of Anna’s journey leading up to her final days. And perhaps, we will get an update on how the family is doing now. Grab the tissues because the upcoming episodes are sure to be tear-jerkers.

The drama is still far from over. June Shannon will return with her crew for the most dramatic and heartbreaking episodes yet on the WEtv reality show. Don’t miss a minute.

Mama June: Family Crisis finds Justin Stroud fed up with June Shannon and he issues her a shocking ultimatum in the mid-season finale of the WEtv reality series.

Mama June: Family Crisis – June Shannon Faces Family’s Wrath

Currently, on the hit WEtv show, Mama June Shannon’s family is barely speaking to her. Recently, she told her youngest daughter, Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson, how much money was in her Coogan account from her time as a child reality star.

The amount is astonishingly low at only 33,000. Indeed, Alana was in shock because she should have a very large savings from all the shows she’s done over the years. Then, Mama said that most of the money was used for family expenses.

Of course, everyone hit the roof on Mama June: Family Crisis because all that money should still be in her account. Now, Alana is going away to college and can’t even afford her tuition. She’s devastated and rightfully blames June. Naturally, Lauryn “Pumpkin” Shannon Efird is livid on her little sister’s behalf.

The two sisters will not rest until Mama gives Alana every penny or they will take her to court. And June’s husband, Justin Stroud, is as angry with her as the rest of the family is. He is on Alana’s side and is stepping up to help.

Justin Stroud Hits His Limit on WEtv

When it all hit the fan at Pumpkin’s house because of Mama’s lies, Justin lost it. He wasn’t even talking to her for a while. He greatly values honesty because it is vital to their sobriety. Without honesty, it’s too easy to slip back into addiction.

Recently, Justin softened toward Mama a little bit because her birthday was coming up. She wants the two of them to go away to Las Vegas for her birthday. So, things seem to be getting a little better. However, on the next episode of Mama June: Family Crisis, things take a turn.

Most likely, this is because Pumpkin and Alana are taking action to get the money back. And it looks like Pumpkin finds out some new shady info on Mama. Soon, Justin goes off and gives Mama an ultimatum.

Justin Threatens to Leave June on Mama June: Family Crisis

In this week’s episode, Justin demands that June withdraw $30,000 of their savings to give to Alana for college. And if she doesn’t do it, he is leaving her. Then Mama asks him if the marriage is already over. Indeed, Justin is not playing games.

He wants her to step up and do what’s right for her daughter or he can’t be with her. He’s tired of June lying and not doing the right thing so he’s taking a stand. No doubt, Alana is in shock on Mama June: Family Crisis.

And she’s likely thankful that her stepdad is going that far to help her. This was the final straw and they’ve all had enough of June’s drama. Alana says she will not have a relationship with her mother unless she pays her back. She’s even willing to put Mama in jail.

Be sure to tune in to the mid-season finale of the WEtv reality spin-off to see if June Shannon accepts Justin’s terms or lets him walk out on their marriage.

Mama June: Family Crisis star Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson is sick of Mama’s lies and betrayals and now, she’s ready to fight back on the hit WEtv reality series.

Mama June: Family Crisis – Mama Pushes Alana Thompson Too Far

Recently, on Mama June: Family Crisis, Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson turned to her mama, June Shannon, for help. After much thought, Alana is going to college in Colorado and she’s bringing her boyfriend, Dralin Carswell, along with her. Indeed, she’s ecstatic, however, college is expensive even with her $21,000 scholarship.

So, she asked Mama to help pay her tuition, thinking Mama would say yes. Unfortunately, Mama refused to help her pay for college on Mama June: Family Crisis. No doubt, Alana was in shock, but then, things got worse when June hit Alana and the whole family with a devastating truth bomb.

June Shocks the Family

When Mama said she wouldn’t come out of pocket for Alana, she asked about the money that was put away for her when she was younger. While growing up, she did several reality shows. First, she started on Toddlers & Tiaras.

Then, her own reality show, Here Comes Honey Boo Boo. Also, Dancing with the Stars and The Masked Singer. Legally, June was obligated to put 20% of her earnings into a Coogan account.

But, in a recent Mama June: Family Crisis episode, Alana asked her mom if she could use that money for college. No doubt, the entire family was stunned when June announced that there was only 33,000 in her account.

There should be hundreds of thousands that she’s accumulated over the years. But, it turns out that Mama used that money to buy their family home, pay for vacations, and other miscellaneous things.

The funds were to stay in an account for Alana until she was an adult. They were not supposed to be used for family expenses. Rightfully, Alana is beside herself. And so is her sister, Lauryn “Pumpkin” Shannon.

She’s livid with Mama for spending that money. This week, Alana comes home for a visit to Pumpkin’s. They plan to sit down with Mama. And they intend to make her pay one way or another on Mama June: Family Crisis.

Honey Boo Boo Fights Back on WEtv

Now, Alana and Pumpkin are barely speaking to their mother. Pumpkin and her husband, Josh Efird, helped Alana with her first semester. And she and Dralin went off to Colorado and found a townhouse to rent.

So far, she’s loving college life and still keeps in close contact with Pumpkin. She even went out to visit Alana and go to orientation with her. While she was there, they discussed what Mama did and they are not going to let her get away with it.

June is never held accountable for her actions. But they are about to change all that on Mama June: Family Crisis. In the mid-season finale, Pumpkin does some digging and discovers some shady things.

She and Alana won’t stop until June hands over the money. Or, they’re willing to take the legal route. However, June’s husband, Justin Stroud, has other ideas and will not rest until Alana gets her money.

June Shannon Finally Pays on Mama June: Family Crisis

June’s hubby, Justin, is not taking this well. He can’t believe that she spent most of Alana’s money. Furthermore, he is tired of her lies. In the beginning of all of this, she told him that instead of putting 20% in the Coogan account, she put in 80%.

However, she did put the 20% in and spent the 80%. Justin is big on honesty because it’s a huge part of sobriety, for both of them. But she’s not being honest and he’s had enough. On the next episode of Mama June: Family Crisis, he hits June with an ultimatum.

Either she goes to the bank and takes out $30,000 from their savings account to give to Alana or he’s leaving her. And she flat out asks him if he feels like their marriage is over. So, June must cough up the cash if she wants to keep her husband. Indeed, it shouldn’t come to that.

But, Alana is sure to be grateful to Justin for stepping up for her. And he is forcing Mama to do what’s right. Things are more intense than ever for the Shannon family. Be sure to tune in to the mid-season finale to see Alana Thompson go after what belongs to her on the WEtv reality show.

Farmer Ty Ruffles Feathers with Solo Date

Since it’s been crickets on this season of Farmer Wants A Wife, host Jennifer Nettles rounded up a sexy new single for each farmer to rustle up some action. With the exception of Makenzie, these girls were unknowns. And the rest of the women weren’t too happy. Some gritted niceties through their teeth. But at Farmer Ty’s the reception of new girl Ashley was anything but a good old welcome to the farm.

I'm constructing an experiment with Vive Pro Eye and SteamVR, and I have to specify the visual angle (in degrees) of an object to the user's eye.

For example, in the world space of a VR scene, a perspective-projection camera is placed at (0, 0, 0), for example, and a 2D plane is placed right in front of the camera at (0, 0, d), orthogonal to the camera axis with its center on the axis. The height of the plane is L. So, the vertical visual angle \theta should calculate as: \theta = 2 * arctan(L / (2 * d)), as showed in the figure below.

Calculation of visual angle

Now my question is, in a VR headset, is it correct to use this value as the visual angle of this plane to the actural eye of the user (ignoring the distance between the eye and the headset screen and optical distortion by the lens)?

Or in other words, is the camera in the VR scene equivalent to the actual eye of the user, so that their views have the same geometrical relationship? If not, then how can I calculate the actual visual angle of an object to the eye?

PS. I can get the FoV and resolution of the headset with Camera.main.fieldOfView and XRSettings.eyeTextureHeight. For tradition HMDs which can use as regular monitors, these parameters are sufficient for calculating the visual angle of an experimental stimulus because I can directly manipulate the stimulus' size in pixels there. However, as far as I know, we can't get or set the object's size in pixels on the screen for VR devices, so the resolution information is not helping.

BTW, the Camera.main.fieldOfView shows that the vertical FoV of the camera is about 104 degrees (similar as the device FoV of 110 degrees of the Vive Pro Eye), but by my personal observation, the actual accessible visual field is much smaller than this (no larger than 50 degrees). It seems that a large peripheral part of the screen can't be seen through the lens. Is that normal?

Kate Gosselin didn’t win any Mother of the Year awards when she starred in her TLC reality show, Kate Plus 8. She wasn’t even nominated back in the day, despite running around after eight pre-schoolers in Jon & Kate Plus 8. But after what Collin Gosselin reveals, the chances of any parenting award as a mother today with adult kids may look pretty slim.

Kate Gosselin: Mothering Tactics Made Headlines

Kate Gosselin was among some of the first reality stars to grace the TV screen. When Jon & Kate Plus 8 first aired, people tuned in with the hope of seeing how these two ran a household with so many little kids.

But something else happened. Kate wasn’t just a cookie-baking mother. No, she had some quirks that left her wide open for debates online concerning her parenting tactics.

As anyone might imagine, eight small children underfoot could be exhausting. This was a reality show, so it filmed these moments of exhaustion. But when Kate’s temper kicked in, the cameras were there to catch these scenes on film.

Soon Kate Gosselin made headlines for her temper and fans tuned in to see more than those precious eight kids in everyday life. Instead, Kate became the draw, as it didn’t seem to take much to get her frazzled.

Jon & Kate Plus 8 Rhymed, But There Was No Harmony

Living their daily life, with cameras in tow, became stressful for the family, especially Jon Gosselin. He was ready to throw in the towel on TV stardom not long after the show started.

All Jon wanted was a normal childhood for his kids. So that meant quitting the show. But Kate Gosselin wouldn’t hear of it and, well… the rest is history. They divorced, and she turned her life into the Kate Plus 8 show.

Since she had all the kids living with her, the show went on, despite Jon’s objections about the kids needing a normal childhood. There were many incidents of Kate screaming at her kids.

Collin Gosselin recently said in an interview, that his mom is “very controlling” and becomes “determined” to get what she wants. He also said that he believes the family’s TV series contributed to the demise of their family.

Collin Gosselin’s Latest Accusations About His Mom

Collin is one of the famous Gosselin sextuplets. He is 19 years old, which makes him old enough today to decide where and when he might agree to appear on TV.

Kate Gosselin had this son admitted into a behavioral health institute several years back. She said he had special needs for behavioral problems. Collin said he wasn’t a “perfect child” but he believed that, “my misbehaving was no different than my siblings.”

His dad came and got him after Collin requested to live with Jon Gosselin. By all reports, things have been fine since he moved in with his dad. Jon also has Hannah Gosselin, another one of the sextuplets, living with him.

But now in a new interview, Collin described some of the latest behaviors from his mom, Kate Gosselin. Back in 2022, he was in a “near-fatal car crash” but he never heard from his mother or his six siblings who lived with her.

He blames Kate Gosselin for his siblings ignoring him. Her son said, “I think my mom kind of drove a social barrier between us.” Collin also said he thinks his mother gave his siblings her perspective on things and that’s what they go by.

So, it sounded as if this teen thought his mother might reach out to him after that car crash. But according to him, she didn’t. So, that’s the latest on Kate Gosselin as told by her son, Collin Gosselin.

Head back to Soap Dirt for the latest buzz on Kate Gosselin.

Mama June: Family Crisis star Lauryn “Pumpkin” Shannon put her dreams on the back burner for motherhood. But now might be her time to pick up where she left off on the WEtv reality series.

Mama June: Family Crisis – Lauryn “Pumpkin” Shannon Pushing Alana Thompson

Currently, on Mama June: Family Crisis, Lauryn “Pumpkin” Shannon is on a mission. She is determined to help her little sister, Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson go to college in Colorado. No doubt, Pumpkin’s been a mother figure to Alana for years.

When their mother, Mama June Shannon was battling her drug addiction, and couldn’t raise Alana, Pumpkin stepped up. She and her husband, Josh Efird, helped raise Alana and comfort her through all their family drama.

So, naturally, she feels like more of a mother to Alana than a big sister. Furthermore, she wants to protect her and she wants what’s best for her on Mama June: Family Crisis. So, from the minute she graduated high school, Pumpkin has wanted Alana to leave Georgia and go away to college out of state.

That way, she could have a fresh start and not be reminded of Mama’s past everywhere she turns. Indeed, she was ecstatic when Alana got accepted to a great school in Colorado. And on top of that, she got a scholarship for $21,000. However, Pumpkin may also have another reason for pushing Alana so hard…

Pumpkin Put Her Dream Aside on Mama June: Family Crisis

Part of the reason Pumpkin has been pushing Honey Boo Boo so much is because she knows what regret feels like. She planned to attend culinary arts school and pursue a career in the food industry. She wanted to open a bake shop called, Cakes by Pumpkin.

But, she got pregnant with her first child, Ella Grace Efird. And not long after, she had her other three children Bentley Jameson Efird, and twins, Sylus Ray Efird and Stella Renae Efird. Of course, Pumpkin cherishes all of her children on Mama June: Family Crisis.

And she wouldn’t change having them for the world. But she still has dreams of her own that she would love to make a reality. Perhaps, once Alana and her boyfriend, Dralin Carswell, are settled in Colorado, Pumpkin can focus on her dreams.

Will Pumpkin Reach Her Goals on WEtv?

No doubt, many Mama June: Family Crisis viewers would support Pumpkin on her culinary journey and be rooting for her to succeed. And, of course, her hubby, Josh, would be her biggest supporter. Surely, he would help as much as possible with the children so Pumpkin could go back to school.

Not only would she get to do something that she loves and is passionate about, but she would also be making a good income to help support her family. Indeed her loved ones and Mama June: Family Crisis fans would back her 100%.

So, hopefully, Pumpkin will work toward her dreams sometime in the near future. Keep watching the hit WEtv reality show to see if Lauryn “Pumpkin” Shannon will go to culinary school and make her dreams come true.

On Farmer Wants A Wife, Joy Mayfield makes her move on farmer Brandon Rogers resulting in two other women packing up and leaving the farm. Farmer Ty Ferrell hosts everyone at his annual roping event. Host Jennifer Nettles offers advice to get the tractor wheels rolling on this slow season. And Melanie Shaner takes matters into her own hands with Mitchell Kolinski. Let’s try to rope it all in this recap of Season 2, Episode 5 Steers Fears And Tears.

Farmer Wants A Wife: Joy Makes Her Move and Lassos Brandon

It’s early morning on Farmer Wants A Wife and Joy Mayfield is ready to take on the day and the other women on Brandon Roger’s farm. Joy is all giggles and big hair and Brandon Rogers certainly seems charmed. One person who’s not charmed is Reba Wood. She considers Brandon’s interest in Joy Mayfield a red flag. The tension is high but the girls get a break when Brandon announces they’ll all be heading to farmer Ty Ferrell’s for a roping event along with all the other farmers and ladies.

Once at the aptly named Ferrell Fall Classic, Joy Mayfield turns it up even more. She clings to Brandon while Reba seethes. And asks if he’d buy her a pony if she comes to live on the farm. Brandon says she’s really coming out of her shell. And he certainly enjoys the attention. Later the other girls mingle and Reba confides to Melody Fernandez that she thinks Brandon wants a “mannequin wife” if he’s into Joy.

No new ep tonight but we’ll be back next Thursday! Tune in to see how my solo date with Joy shakes out 🤠#FarmerWantsAWife pic.twitter.com/KBdI8DcjQS

Another lady feeling left out on Farmer Wants A Wife is Annellyse Munroe. She pulls Brandon aside and tells him she needs more from him. Later Joy Mayfield and Brandon are inseparable on the dance floor. This pushes Reba over the edge, and she shouts “I’m out” before stomping away. Host Jennifer Nettles follows her and suggests she tell Brandon herself. He’s sorry but maybe a bit relieved, later when Annalyse loses the solo date to Joy Mayfield, she says goodbye to Brandon Rogers and his farm too.

Ty Ferrell Hosts a Roping Event

Farmer Ty Ferrell hosts a big roping event every fall on his Missouri farm. This time he’s got four women around to help. Besides that, all the other farmers and their ladies are headed to enjoy the festivities. Host Jennifer talks to the women and the farmers separately to see how things are progressing. And she’s disappointed to hear that for most of the guys it’s a little slow. The ladies want to move beyond friendship. So she suggests the farmers show a little more affection.

Welcome to the 14th annual Ferrell Fall Classic! Loved getting to share this roping event with everyone #FarmerWantsAWife pic.twitter.com/mooJBLa7f2

Farmer Mitchell Kolinski still has 4 ladies on his farm on Farmer Wants A Wife. He takes them out to try their hand at bow hunting on a target. Of course, Sydney Errera hits a bullseye leaving the other three girls to scoop horse poop. Melanie Shaner fears she’s getting lost among the other girls.  So later at the hoedown she pulls him aside and lets him know she’s still in the game. This scores her the solo date.

Farmer Wants A Wife: The Farmers Choose Solo Dates

It’s been a long day for everyone at the Ferrell Fall Classic. With one girl down and another about to go, the farmers choose solo dates. Farmer Ty chooses Megan Lay. He finds her to have good energy. And she opened up about some baggage from her past. This leaves Brooke Ashleigh a little bummed. But she’s going to stick it out. Farmer Nathan Smothers took host Jennifer’s advice and kissed Taylor Bedell earlier. He also asks her for the solo date.

On Farmer Wants A Wife, Brandon Rogers loses two ladies after he chooses Joy Mayfield for his date. This leaves only Grace Girard and Joy for him to spend the remaining time with. However, scenes from next week suggest a bombshell. One new girl will be added to each farm. Nobody seems happy about this. So, it seems some feathers will be ruffled. Till next time!

Kate Gosselin‘s children are all over 18 today, so after a couple of decades with this reality star as a mom, it looks like they may have learned a few things.

This once-TLC celebrity often stunned fans with her strong opinions. So, as the latest news surfaces regarding the iconic reality star, fans surmise that hasn’t changed.

After seeing her in action through many seasons of Jon & Kate Plus 8, and then, Kate Plus 8, fans know she’s not someone to keep those strong opinions to herself. Now it looks as if her adult children learn the same thing. Or at least Hannah Gosselin shows signs of this.

Everyone, Including Kate…

Kate Gosselin’s daughter, Hannah Gosselin, 19, is in her first serious romantic relationship. The young man’s name is Lennon Johnston Jr, 21, and it sounds like the Gosselin daughter is head over heels for this man.

So, in a recent interview, this young woman revealed that she introduced Lennon to various relatives. Then she described how the family got along with her new boyfriend. These introductions included her mom, Kate Gosselin, and her dad, Jon Gosselin.

She didn’t say anything negative about the outcome, although she didn’t have to. It’s what she didn’t say that raised some eyebrows. This daughter is one of two famous sextuplets, who chose to live with her dad, rather than her mom.

Collin Gosselin is the other sextuplet sibling who moved in with Jon. These two kids had little contact with Kate Gosselin for quite some time. But today, this daughter said she talks about school and life with her mom, so some things have changed.

Hannah Gosselin’s Boyfriend Gets Thumbs Up

In this new interview, Hannah makes it clear that she loves her new beau. So, when introducing him to her dad, they hit it off.

She said her boyfriend has big dreams and “he’s really big on being the best version of yourself you can be.” She also added that he is “kind.”

Her grandmother, Pamela Castello, who is Jon’s mom, also met Lennon, and she gave him a thumbs up. In a recent interview, Jon said he gets along great with Hannah’s boyfriend. But when it came to Kate Gosselin, things seemed worded differently.

Everyone Except Kate Gosselin?

It sounded all good when it came to her grandmother, who gave the new boyfriend her  “stamp of approval”. Then her dad ended up becoming pals with him. So, this seems to indicate that Lennon is welcomed into the family. But maybe not the entire family.

When revealing that Kate Gosselin has met Lennon, her take was unclear. When Hannah was asked if he got a chance to meet her mom, she said, “Well, yeah, She’s my mom.”

After saying her mom met him, this young lady didn’t suggest Kate was enthused like her dad and grandmother. So, not hearing Hannah use the same enthusiasm about her mom meeting her boyfriend said a lot to fans.

After saying Kate met her boyfriend, Hannah made something clear. She said that no matter what anyone’s opinion of her new love interest might be, “At the end of the day, my choices are my choices.” She didn’t attach a name to that statement. But the fans think she likely had her mom in mind.

Hannah Tip Toes Around Kate’s Take?

Hannah said that while she will listen to opinions, she’s not going to let anyone’s opinion get in her way. So, without getting into any more details, it sure sounds like she skirted around what her mom had to say.

Kate Gosselin’s followers assume this mom of eight had a rather strong opinion. They also surmise that her daughter was kind enough not to mention it. This young lady has lived a lifetime of her mom and dad dueling it out in the headlines.

What the TLC fans were privy to was likely just the tip of the iceberg. Past reports indicated that the screaming and yelling on the screen continued when the cameras were off. So, her kids might have learned a thing or two about handling mom. Or at least Hannah seemed to after treading carefully about what she said when it came to her mom’s opinion of her boyfriend.

Fans of Kate Gosselin’s now-defunct TLC series remember how upset Kate could become. Sometimes she would blow up at the least little things. So, what her daughter is not saying seems to offer a hint to fans of Kate Gosselin’s opinion not being as stellar as the rest.

With Kate Gosselin’s history in mind, fans can only imagine what the mom of eight had to say. But as her daughter stated firmly in that interview, it’s her choice when it comes down to it, and that is all that matters.

Mama June: Family Crisis celeb June Shannon faces the fallout from her actions in the new season, and her marriage may be at risk on the WEtv reality series.

Mama June: Family Crisis – June Shannon’s Massive Secret

Coming up this season on Mama June: Family Crisis, June Shannon’s family finds out that she’s been hiding a whopper of a secret. Currently, the topic generating the most buzz in the Shannon family is Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson and if she will go to college in Colorado.

Indeed, it’s a wonderful opportunity, and her sister, (who’s been more like a mother), Lauryn “Pumpkin” Shannon, is dead set on Alana going. However, Alana is unsure because of several different factors. First, there is her sister Anna “Chickadee” Cardwell’s tragic cancer diagnosis.

Then, there was the fact that her boyfriend, Dralin Carswell, was unable to leave the state due to legal problems and couldn’t go with her. So, she’s having a hard time making a decision. Soon, on Mama June: Family Crisis, it looks like Alana decides to attend college in Colorado.

However, she faces a new obstacle that she does not see coming. It turns out that while Mama was deep in her drug addiction, she spent Alana’s college fund on drugs. So now, even with her $21,000 scholarship, Alana might not be able to pay for her college education.

No doubt, this causes an uproar in the family. Of course, Mama’s daughters are furious, especially Alana. But June’s new husband, Justin Stroud, does not take the news well either on Mama June: Family Crisis. And it could jeopardize their marriage.

Justin Stroud Flips on WEtv

In the upcoming season, everyone learns that June blew Alana’s tuition and a bunch of other money when she was on drugs. Understandably, Alana is distraught and she confronts Justin asking if he knew.

It appears that Justin did not know because he seems as blindsided as everyone else. Then, he goes off on Mama, calling her a liar. Later, June wants to know if Justin considers their marriage over.

Will Mama’s Marriage Survive on Mama June: Family Crisis?

Currently, Mama and her new hubby Justin, seem to be doing extremely well overall. However, when June’s latest bombshell drops, it blindsides Justin, and might be more than he can handle. Knowing that she squandered all of her children’s money could push him over the edge.

He could end up reconsidering if he wants to spend the rest of his life with her or not. So, Mama’s past actions could keep coming back to bite her. The brand-new season is can’t-miss. Tune in every Friday at 9:00 p.m. on WEtv to see if June Shannon’s marriage can survive her secrets.

On Farmer Wants A Wife, Farmer Brandon Rogers sees a different side of his first solo date Reba Wood when the other girls arrive for their stay at the farm. Farmer Ty Ferrell is the only one to send someone packing much to everyone’s surprise. Farmer Mitchell Kolinsky shows the girls how to get down and dirty. And Farmer Nathan Smothers is already one lady down after Makenzie Wayman flew home for a family emergency. Gather round the fire and lets break it all down in this recap of Season 2, Episode 2 Welcome To The Farms.

Farmer Wants A Wife: Reba Shows Her Jealous Side

It didn’t take long for drama to start on Farmer Wants A Wife. After a romantic solo date with farmer Brandon Rogers, Reba Wood got territorial when the other girls arrived at the farm. It was one lady in particular who made Reba jealous. From the minute Joy Mayfield arrived in her heels looking “like a supermodel” in Reba’s own words, the claws were out. Reba described Joy to the cameras as the “most less authentic person” she’s ever met.

Things got worse when farmer Brandon took the girls down to the farm to sort potatoes. Joy Mayfield arrived glam in a fur hat and oversized sunnies to help sort the duds from the spuds. This aggravated Reba Wood. Who claimed that a better name for Joy would be annoy. Ouch. Later, Brandon’s dad shows up. The girls are thrilled to meet him. Joy turns on the charm leading dad to tell her she’s “something else”. Of course Reba Wood is eye rolling like mad at this point.

Reba is doing to much.. She's known Brandon for like a day and is acting like she owns him.. like girl slow your roll. #FarmerWantsAWife pic.twitter.com/QgvWG9oWqs

Farmer Wants A Wife host Jennifer Nettles drops letters to all the farmers to suggest giving someone the boot if there’s no spark. Reba Wood uses this information to call Brandon outside away from the other ladies over wine. She tells him she’s worried about a certain person’s authenticity. Point blank that Joy is so far up his butt she’s about to pop out of his mouth. And hopes he’s thinking with the right head. She asks for one kiss if he’s ok, two if he’s not. The others gawk. But, Brandon Rogers keeps everyone around for another week.

Ty Ferrell Sends Someone Home

Farmer Ty Ferrell is enjoying a solo date with New York nurse Melody Fernandez. After showing her around his place, they saddle up for horseback riding. Melody comes dressed for a date and even rides like a champ in high-heeled boots. After, they discuss what’s important to them in finding a partner. Melody likes Ty’s masculinity. And says she feels a lot of women are having a hard time finding manly men.

When the others arrive on Farmer Wants a Wife, Ty Ferrell takes them out to his stables. Everybody starts pelting each other with dried manure. Then Ty supervises while they shovel horse poop while flies buzz in their faces. Melody Fernandez looks a little put off by the poop fest. Later Ty decides he is going to send someone packing. He calls Erin Sossamon out to the fire to deliver the bad news. It stings a little but probably a lot less than being hit with dried manure.

Farmer Wants A Wife: The Party Continues for Farmer Mitchell

Farmer Mitchell is a smooth operator on land and off. He takes solo date Kiana Clemente on a boat ride on a beautiful lake. Kiana is a dog trainer form California. She tells Mitchell that farm life would suit her well especially with her love of animals and all. She doesn’t flinch when the first thing she sees in his house is a giant deer head. Mitchell brags that he took the buck off the property earlier this year. That’s one way to put it.

Later, Mitchell Kolinsky seems smitten by city girl Brittany Dickinson. Even though she struggles a little with getting down and dirty on the farm. Especially when she encounters a grub. He suggests she could eat it but she’s good. Farmer Mitchell seems to enjoy all the feminine energy on the farm. So he’s happy to suggest that everyone hang around another week on Farmer Wants A Wife.

Over at farmer Nathan Smother’s farm there are only four ladies around the campfire. His choice for solo date Makenzie Wayman had to head home for a family emergency. The girls love his Florida farm even after he warns of snakes and gators. While treating citrus trees, Nathan finds a spark with Allye Wright.  And they share some one on one time bonding over tattoos before he decides that everyone can stay on the farm for now. Till next time!

The post Farmer Wants A Wife: Reba Wood’s Claws Come Out – Recap [S2E2] appeared first on Soap Dirt.

1000-Lb Sisters star Amy Slaton posted a two-minute video talking about her relationship with her new man. Within minutes, red flags flew for fans, who jumped online to attempt to redirect her.

1000-Lb Sisters: Oh, No, Amy Slaton – Don’t Do That…

Fans of her reality show suggested that Amy Slaton looked inebriated in this video as she talked about her new man, Kevin. At one point, she cocked her head and took a swig of red wine.

This was a tell-tale sign to 1000-Lb Sisters fans that she over-indulged a bit before and during this video. But she also told the fans her story about Kevin, starting with the only date they went on so far.

With a smile on her face, she tells her fans that they are taking it slow and easy. Amy described this as taking it “super slow” but then went on to explain why.

The 1000-Lb Sisters’ celebrity revealed that they’ve had only one date so far. And, that was a week ago, and she hasn’t seen him since.

Amy Leaves Kevin a Drunk Message?

So, it seems 1000-Lb Sisters fans felt the need to address Amy Slaton ASAP. Especially after they got a look at the caption of the video.

Amy Slaton left no guesswork for fans about her intoxicated state of mind. She captioned this video, “Drunk messages for Kevin.”

So, it became pretty clear that her actions were alcohol-fueled, and that didn’t sit right with 1000-Lb Sisters fans.

Critics came from far and wide to reprimand her, warn her, and shame Amy Slaton for her actions. And hopefully, bring her back to reality.

1000-Lb Sisters: The Look of Desperation?

Fans of this TLC show handled Amy Slaton’s video in a few different ways. Some were kind and suggested this isn’t a “healthy start” to a relationship. Others were a bit harsh, like telling Amy that this was “reeking of desperation.”

A few even empathized with the 1000-Lb Sisters’ celebrity. They also shared how they have had too much to drink at one time in their lives and talked too much. This is what they saw Amy do in this video for her new love interest, Kevin.

Amy is fresh off her last relationship with Tony Rogers, so fans call this a rebound. Ironically, Amy’s relationship with Tony was also viewed as a rebound move on Amy’s part.

Idc how serious a situation they’re in, there will always be a funny moment 😂They have truly grown since season 1. They have remained true to themselves & showed us the good, bad & ugly. This is what REAL reality tv looks like! Proud of Amy & Tammy. R.I.P. Caleb🦋#1000lbsisters pic.twitter.com/BizdKy8h8K

So, no one knows much about Kevin, but when asked a few weeks ago when she first mentioned him, she teased she wasn’t ready yet to reveal her new guy. Not yet anyway.

But after these latest antics, who knows what will happen with Kevin? Another fan wrote that if they were Kevin and eyed this video, they would “run.”

Still, after going on one date a week ago and not seeing this guy since then, well, some fans wonder if Amy Slaton is reading this relationship all wrong. It doesn’t sound as if this guy is in any hurry to see her again. So, maybe the TLC star read more into Kevin than she should have.
