Bravo star says baseball great wanted 'side chick' during high-profile engagement
Alex Rodriguez dated Jennifer Lopez for four years, but one woman wasn't enough for him, a famed reality TV star claims.
"Southern Charm" star Madison LeCroy said the baseball legend contacted her on Instagram in 2020. At the time, Madison thought she was being catfished, she told the "Pillows and Beer" podcast in May 2023.

Madison recalled thinking after Alex first reached out, "The dude who's dating [J.Lo] is not in my DMs right now." She then quickly realized that A-Rod was looking for a side piece.
"I said, if you're looking for a side chick — which clearly he was — it wasn't gonna be me. I'm wifey material," she said.
Although Alex first contacted Madison with a fitness-related question, it soon became clear that the former New York Yankee was pursuing her, she alleged.
The podcast's host, Austen Kroll, who dated Madison in 2020, said A-Rod had been contacting her via FaceTime "ad nauseam."
"You were like, 'This mother f*****'s FaceTimed me three or four times today,"' Austin recalled. "And then he, like, got mad at Madison because she didn't answer when she was on the boat or something. And she was like, 'I'm not at your beck and call.'"
Alex even offered to fly Madison to Miami several times, but she always declined. The realty TV beauty added that she's never actually met Alex in person.
"People still don't believe me — I swear to God, I've never, ever seen that person," she said.

After the podcast aired, Alex's rep denied that the former professional athlete was ever making advances on Madison.
"Her 15 minutes of fame are up, and she is trying [to] get a 16th minute," his rep told Page Six. "Please stop wasting everyone's time with these false narratives. They were false two years ago and continue to be false."
Child featured on 'Unsolved Mysteries' found alive six years after alleged kidnapping
A kidnapped teenage girl who was a subject of Netflix's "Unsolved Mysteries" was found safe and alive in North Carolina this week.
The girl, now 15, had been missing since 2017.
Kayla Unbehaun was last seen with her mother, Heather, who was the noncustodial parent at the time. Ryan Iskerka, Kayla's father, previously said that Heather took their daughter to a parade and on a Fourth of July camping trip. However, the mother and daughter never returned to Ryan's home in South Elgin, Ill., and a warrant was issued for Heather.

"It was discovered that all of Heather's social media had been canceled and her phone turned off," Ryan said in a GoFundMe Page.
For five years, Heather and Kayla were off the radar. But in 2022, Netflix's popular "Unsolved Mysteries" revival featured Kayla's abduction, which brought fresh attention to the case and ultimately led to her safe retrieval in Asheville, North Carolina — 700 miles from where she was last seen.
Over the weekend, the Asheville Police Department were tipped off to a reported kidnapping at a retail store after a witness "believed she had recognized a woman who kidnapped a child in 2017″ from "well-publicized media." After responding to the store, police identified Heather and Kalya Unbehaun.
Heather was booked into jail and will be extradited to Illinois.
"I'm overjoyed that Kayla is home safe. I want to thank the South Elgin Police Department, the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children and all of the law enforcement agencies who assisted with her case," Ryan said in a statement Monday through the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children. "We ask for privacy as we get to know each other again and navigate this new beginning."
Bravo star asks court to drug test husband amid divorce due to 'serious concerns for the safety' of their children
Kim Zolciak-Biermann and Kroy Biermann's divorce is getting messier by the day.
Ever since the former "Real Housewives of Atlanta" couple split, friends have all but guaranteed that things will get nasty, and that vitriol has certainly begun.

According to multiple reports, Kim recently filed a court petition to make Kroy take a drug test, as she claims he uses marijuana. Court documents show that she wants the retired NFL player to "submit to a five-panel hair follicle drug screen." She also want him to foot the bill for the test.
Kim claims that Kroy uses marijuana and he's "fearful" their younger children will be "exposed" to the substance. Kim "has serious concerns for the safety and well being of the minor children" under his care, she said.
Ironically, Kim seemed to have little issue with daughter Ariana Biermann's admitted THC usage last year following the 21-year-old's fender bender.
Earlier this month, Kim filed for divorce from Kroy, her husband of nearly 12 years, as the duo's financial issues mounted. In her filing, she asked for spousal support and sole legal and physical custody of the duo's minor children, twins Kaia Rose and Kane Ren, 9, and sons Kash Kade, 10, and Kroy Jagger, 11.

Last week, a source told People magazine, "Everyone expects this divorce is going to get really bad because neither of them will give in." The source added, "Divorce is terrible but the kids are going to have to go through this in a very public manner."
People's source even argued that Kroy is an excellent father to the children, despite Kim's claims that she's scared for their safety around him.
"It's really sad because he is a great dad," the source said. "With that said, they were both very involved parents and they both deserve to share custody and anyone that knows them would agree."
'The O.C.' actress says 'a job got taken away from me' over podcast comments
Rachel Bilson lost a job after recent risqué comments she made on podcast.
While on the "Women on Top" podcast in early May, "The O.C." alum spoke candidly about her sex life and said she wants to be "manhandled" in the bedroom. The comments quickly made headlines and eventually got back to one of Rachel's employers who didn't seem to take pleasure in them.

"A job got taken away from me because I was speaking candidly and openly about sex in a humorous way on our friend's podcast," she revealed on her "Broad Ideas" podcast. "I basically got a job, that I already had, pulled from me because I was speaking openly about sex."
Rachel's on-screen career has spanned more than two decades, but this is the first time she's ever been fired "because of things that were said." And, she's "floored" that her chatter led to her firing.
"Everything was set in motion and I lost the job. It sucks," she vented. "I haven't said anything inappropriate. … If I could go back, now knowing I lost a job, maybe I would say it differently — but I still wouldn't not say it."
Rachel added, "A single mom, a woman, lost a job because they were being candid and honest and the subject was sex."

Country singer returns to Instagram after infidelity admission, sex assault accusations
After days of maintaining his social media silence in the wake of a sexual assault lawsuit, Jimmie Allen is back on Instagram. And, he seem to be brushing off the salacious headlines associated with his personal life.

On Wednesday, May 17, the country singer used his Instagram Story to post the text, "We Gonna Be Alright" and "This Too Shall Pass." He included a few emojis. Jimmie's post was set to Kendrick Lamar's 2015 hit, "Alright." In a follow up post, he wrote "God Only Knows" and "He Knows!" while set to "God Only Knows" by Christian group For King & Country.
The "Best Shot" singer's personal life has made headlines over the past few weeks. In late April, Jimmie's wife, Alexis Gale, filed for divorce and indicated they are currently expecting a third child together, a boy. Then, on May 11 his former day-to-day manager filed a civil lawsuit in Tennessee federal court for sexual battery, assault, false imprisonment, sex trafficking and emotional distress.

In the lawsuit and in a chat with Variety, the woman, who filed under the name Jane Doe, detailed several alleged assaults and groping incidents — including some she says took place in cars and hotel rooms, often when she and Jimmie were alone and traveling on work trips — that happened between 2020 and 2022, a time during which Jimmie was married.
In describing one night, Jane detailed waking up in a hotel room without clothes on and in pain with no recollection of the previous night. Jimmie was lying next to her and insisted she take a Plan B pill to prevent an accidental pregnancy, she alleged. It was then that the woman realized she'd lost her virginity.
The singer, she claimed, also videotaped some sexual encounters "to blackmail her to stay silent." According to what she told Variety, "Jimmie raped her while choking her, sexually abused her at red lights when she drove him to and from business events and looked at porn on her work computer." She told him "no" but was often coerced into sex with him, she said.

After details of the lawsuit emerged, the former "Dancing With The Stars" contestant admitted to cheating on his wife, but claimed the sex with the woman was all consensual.
"It is deeply troubling and hurtful that someone I counted as one of my closest friends, colleagues and confidants would make allegations that have no truth to them whatsoever," he said in a statement. "I acknowledge that we had a sexual relationship — one that lasted for nearly two years. During that time, she never once accused me of any wrongdoing, and she spoke of our relationship and friendship as being something she wanted to continue indefinitely. Only after things ended between us, did she hire a lawyer to reach out and ask for money, which leads me to question her motives. The simple fact is, her accusations are not only false, but also extremely damaging. I've worked incredibly hard to build my career, and I intend to mount a vigorous defense to her claims and take all other legal action necessary to protect my reputation."
Chrisley siblings struggling to land reality show after court case exposed lives 'built on a stack of lies'
Chase and Savannah Chrisley are "desperately" trying to get a new reality TV show to save themselves from potential financial ruin, but networks don't appear to be biting, a new report claims.
The siblings shot to fame after starring in "Chrisley Knows Best" and its spinoff, "Growing Up Chrisley." However, both shows were axed after Todd and Julie Chrisley were convicted of federal tax crimes and sent to prison.

"Chase and Savannah have been desperate to be back on TV and at this point are willing to go with any network that wants them," a source told DailyMail.com.
The search for a reignited reality TV career is not going well, as networks reportedly see the kids as "a liability," given their family's legal woes and drama. Plus, neither sibling is really being viewed as a legitimate star that can draw in viewers.
"They are having a difficult time finding anyone, frankly, because Todd is what made the show," the source continued. "If USA Network was interested in them alone, they would have kept Growing Up Chrisley on the air."
There's also another factor going against the kids: the family reality show portrayed the Chrisleys as well to do, as they lived a lavish life in Nashville, Tenn. After Todd and Julie's conviction, their true financial situation was exposed.
"They didn't have the money that they claimed to have, their family was not as perfect as they wanted people to believe it was," the source said, adding their the picture-perfect life was "built on a stack of lies."
After Todd and Julie's convictions, they were ordered to pay a $17.2 million fine for restitution. The financial burden has left the kids in a "fight or flight" mode.

"Unfortunately, Chase and Savannah spent money like it would never end and they didn't save a ton of money for a rainy day," the source says. "They are both really banking on a network to grab their show and for it to be a success. Hopefully, for them, it is because they are running out of options and money fast."
Back in February, Savannah acknowledged that she was interested in reality TV, revealing on her Unlocked podcast that she and her team were "talking to a few production companies about doing another show."
'General Hospital' actress charged with DUI following head-on, wrong-way crash
"General Hospital" actress Haley Pullos is lucky to be alive after being involved in a head-on, wrong-way car crash that resulted in two vehicles — hers included — being mangled and totally destroyed. It also resulted in the soap star being arrested for DUI.
During the arrest, Haley reportedly became aggressive with authorities, even striking a firefighter while declaring the cost of her clothing.

Citing a police document of the April 29 crash, TMZ said Haley, who plays Molly Lansing-Davis in the daytime soap, was driving on the freeway in Pasadena, Calif., when she "swerved, flew over the dividing barrier, and into oncoming traffic." She then "ended up colliding head-on with another car that was going about 60 mph."
In the wreckage, Haley was reportedly trapped in the car, forcing firefighters to extricate her. Once the actress was put in an ambulance, she allegedly became agitated with a medic assessing her injuries. TMZ said she struck the medic and proclaimed, "This is a $400 f****** shirt!"
In a search of her car, marijuana products and tequila were found.
Haley, 24, was arrested for felony DUI after being transported to the hospital, but things continued to go downhill, as she "got aggressive and fought hospital staff," the report states. Haley was eventually sedated.
The driver of the other car was hospitalized with major injuries.

Haley made reference to her crash last week when indicating she would be taking a break from the long-running soap. However, her statement made no reference to the DUI or horrific nature of the crash.
"Unfortunately, I was involved in an automobile accident and I'm doing okay, but I am going to need a little time to recover. I will be back as soon as possible!" she said.
Haley joined "General Hospital" in 2009. She was even nominated for a Daytime Emmy Award in 2015.

Estranged wife of 'Shameless' actor updates Instagram amid 'single mom' backlash
Jeremy Allen White's estranged wife Addison Timlin updated her Instagram after a digital slip of the tongue that drew fierce blowback.
Over the weekend, the actress posted a lengthy caption to Instagram in which she called herself a single parent, something that didn't sit well with the Internet.

"Being a single mom is not how I pictured it. It is so f****** hard," she began her caption, posted alongside an image with daughters Ezer, 4, and Dolores, 2, whom she shares with the "Shameless" star. "It is all out covered in s*** crying on the floor kick you in the shins screaming with no sound coming out hard."
Addison added, "It can be exhausting but more than anything it can just be so lonely. when something magical happens and you have to tell yourself 'don't forget this' because theres no witness by your side. It's so painful."
While the caption went on, Addison's 313,000 Instagram followers slammed her for her choice of words, as many noted that "The Bear" actor seems to be very present in their children's lives. In addition, the former duo doesn't appear to be struggling financially.
Soon after, Addison changed her caption to read: "Co-parent is not how I pictured it."

The switch came amid a flood of critical messages.
"There is a difference between being a single mom and being a mom that is single," one person said. Another echoed, "You're not a single parent, you're a parent who is single. You get to co-parent with your future ex-husband, who you constantly praise for being an amazing and present father. It's disrespectful to those women and men who parent ALONE, who are the sole bread winner for their children, who make the tough decisions by themselves and who are the only ones to support their children emotionally/physically/financially."
Addison was called "passive aggressive."
Another critic commented, "Single mom is a bit of a stretch, my dear."
Addison and Jeremy, who've known each other since their teenage years, married in June 2019. Last week, she filed for divorce, but court documents didn't give a specific reason for the split.
