More bad news for Joseph Duggar:

The embattled former reality star appeared in court via Zoom today, three months after he was arrested on child molestation charges.

And as Us Weekly reports, the judge in his case denied Joseph’s request for unsupervised visits with his four children.

Joseph is facing charges in both Bay County, Florida and his home state of Arkansas, where he has been indicted for child endangerment.

(Upon searching Joseph’s home after his arrest, investigators determined that he and wife Kendra Duggar were in the habit of locking their children in their bedrooms as punishment.)

Defense attorney, Albert Sauline, argued that it would be “a little unusual” for a criminal case in Florida to impact Joseph’s ability to see his kids, when said kids were not the alleged victims in the Florida case.

The judge saw things differently, as did assistant state attorney Joao Paulo Ferreira, who noted that Children and Family Services in Arkansas would be more than willing to supervise contact with Joseph’s children.

That might not bode well for prosecutors’ willingness to work with Joe’s attorneys as the legal process continues.

Meanwhile, the financial troubles facing Joseph and Kendra Duggar appear to be mounting.

According to a new report from People, Kendra has listed one of the family’s Arkansas properties for sale as her husband prepares for a trial that could send him to prison for the rest of his life.

The three-bedroom, two-bathroom home in Siloam Springs is reportedly being offered for $407,900. The property sits on more than an acre of land and had previously been occupied by members of Kendra’s family.

Joseph and Kendra reportedly evicted the tenants after her parents sided with Joseph’s accuser.

According to recordings of jail phone calls obtained by People, Joseph and Kendra spoke in March about whether it would make more sense to sell the property or keep it as a rental source of income in the event Joseph is convicted and incarcerated.

At the time, the couple was already facing significant financial pressure.

Kendra had reportedly been selling personal belongings and converting family properties into rentals in an effort to raise money after Joseph’s arrest and subsequent $600,000 bond.

Kendra is also facing child endangerment charges, which could land her in prison for up to four years.

Needless to say, it appears as though the couple is beginning to feel the pressure of their mounting woes, which makes sense, especially after they bore witness to the fate that befell Joseph’s brother.

We will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.

Reality TV star and podcaster Savannah Chrisley has a new man!

Even though she is not a good person and has declared her own sibling an enemy with cult-like fervor, many have kept up with the ups and downs of her love life.

Savannah’s new boyfriend is apparently much older than she is. Old enough that she had to clarify that he’s younger than her notorious father.

Daddy might not like it, but Savannah says that age gaps are the next big thing in relationships.

Todd likes the guy, but not the age gap

During the Monday, June 15 episode of the Whine Down podcast, Savannah spoke to host Jana Kramer about her current relationship.

Savannah’s current boyfriend has not been identified. She has shared only three major things about him.

The first is that he is significantly older than she is — though, she insists, younger than her father.

(Despite appearances, Savannah is only 28 years old. Her father, Todd Chrisley, is 57, over twice her age.)

The second is that he is some sort of Washington insider. And the third is that her dad is “not too fond” of their age gap, even though Todd allegedly “loves” the guy in question.

“Age gap relationships are the new thing,” Savannah then decreed.

She predicted: “You’re going to see it everywhere.”

Savannah insisted: “There are all these couples that are huge age gap relationships, but it just works. It’s insane.”

She gushed: “[In age gap relationships], you’re not dealing with insecurity.”

Savannah continued: “For me, I’m not dealing with the insecurity of a younger guy who’s trying to keep up. Honestly, it’s the healthiest relationship I’ve ever been in.” You know what? We don’t doubt that last part.

He’s not intimidated by her ‘success’

Savannah continued to sing the praises of her much-older boyfriend without naming him or identifying his age.

She described him as “the calmest, sweetest human being in the entire world.”

“He’s my biggest cheerleader,” Savannah gushed.

She opined: “He’s not intimidated by my success, which is so great.”

Yes, not every man has the emotional maturity to date a … let’s check our notes here … a podcaster.

Savannah claimed: “I feel like so many women in today’s day and age are the primary breadwinners for their family, and they feel like they have to dim their light in order to make their partner feel better.”

She declared: “And I’m like ‘no.’”

(For context, Savannah’s frame of reference is likely heavily influenced by the conservative culture of her family, so she sees a very specific and narrow slice of humanity.)

“First off, he does way better than I do,” Savannah noted. “And I love that because I’m like, ‘You’re not intimidated by me. You think what I do is great. You don’t try to stifle me.’”

Finally, she’s found a man unintimidated by her podcasting career. She also feels that he’s “the one.” Well, unless she develops higher standards than not being an insecure man-baby, maybe he will be.

Back in November of 2025, Dallas Cowboys defensive end Marshawn Kneeland died by suicide at the age of 24.

Shortly thereafter, we learned that his longtime girlfriend, Catalina Mancera, was pregnant with Kneeland’s first child.

Now, seven months after the tragic loss of a beloved and promising young man, there’s a silver lining:

Catalina took to social media today to announce that she’s welcomed a baby boy named Makhai.

Mancera shared a series of emotional photos and videos documenting the arrival of her son.

“My favorite gift from you,” Mancera wrote alongside one post honoring the late NFL player.

The newborn arrived on June 11, marking a bittersweet milestone for a family that has spent the past several months navigating grief while preparing for a new life.

As fans may recall, Kneeland died from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound on November 5, 2025, just days after scoring his first NFL touchdown for the Cowboys.

His death shocked teammates, coaches, and fans across the league.

One week later, Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer revealed that Mancera was pregnant with the couple’s first child. At the time, he also announced the creation of the Marshawn Kneeland Memorial Fund to help support Mancera and the baby.

“We want to make sure she is taken care of, and the baby is taken care of for the rest of their lives,” Schottenheimer said during a press conference announcing the fund.

Throughout her pregnancy, Mancera frequently shared updates with followers while paying tribute to Kneeland’s memory.

In December, she posted an emotional message to her unborn son, writing that she had dreamed of building a family with Kneeland long before she learned she was expecting.

More recently, she offered fans a glimpse inside her baby shower celebration, thanking friends and loved ones for helping her through what she described as an incredibly difficult season of life.

Now, after months of anticipation, that journey has culminated with the arrival of baby Makhai.

Alongside photos of the newborn, Mancera shared a video showing Kneeland’s reaction when she first told him she was pregnant, a moment that has taken on even greater significance in the wake of his death.

While Makhai will grow up without ever knowing his father personally, it’s clear that Kneeland’s memory will remain a central part of his life.

And judging by the outpouring of support from Cowboys fans, teammates, and loved ones over the past seven months, neither Mancera nor her son will have to navigate this difficult chapter alone.

At the very end of May, Josh Duggar was transferred to a new prison without explanation.

Quickly, longtime Duggar watchers began spinning theories.

Did he have a serious illness that the medical center could provide? Had he broken some sort of rule and required higher security?

Josh’s attorney initially believed this to be a routine transfer. He no longer believes that — and says that it was retaliation.

Retaliation!

Last month, the disgraced former reality star was transferred from FCI Seagoville in Seagoville, Teaxas to FMC Forth Worth in, you guessed it, Forth Worth.

Previously, Josh’s attorney Beau Brindley brushed off the news.

He simply said that his client was fine, calling it a “routine” transfer.

There were questions. Many people simply did not believe it.

It turns out that Brindley himself no longer believes that.

Brindley now tells TMZ that he believes that Josh’s transfer was far from “routine.”

Rather, he believes that this was deliberate and targeted retaliation by the Bureau of Prisons.

According to Brindley, the BOP took this punitive route because Josh and his attorney had pointed out two big issues with the mail system at Seagoville during court hearings.

(As we previously reported, Josh’s court battle has included an argument that his late filing should have counted because he submitted it before the deadline, even if the court didn’t receive it until much later.)

Brindley did not specify about the prison mailing system further.

The ‘routine transfer’ was allegedly anything but routine

However, Brindley did confirm that he spoke to his client on Friday, June 12.

During that conversation, Josh confirmed that he was “not sick with any illness” despite the transfer.

FMC Fort Worth caters primarily to inmates who are battling serious ailments and require inpatient care.

According to Brindley, Bureau of Prisons officials called it a “routine transfer” even while offering no explanation.

It was, apparently, a very unpleasant experience.

Josh is going to be in prison until February 2033.

Yes, that is months later than his original 2032 release date.

Is he a disgraced criminal, unworthy of civil protections while incarcerated? Or is he a victim of an unjust system that can effectively do whatever it wants to an unsympathetic and powerless prison population?

Both … or neither. Whatever Anna may think, Josh is guilty and utterly depraved. But the prison system is also subject to obvious corruption. These days, that is especially true of federal prisons.

Josh is irredeemable, but all prisoners should be treated at a minimum level of decency appropriate for someone who was falsely accused and convicted. Even though Josh was not.

For decades, Al Roker has enjoyed a reputation as one of the friendliest personalities on morning television.

But to hear his former colleague Billy Bush tell it, Al is a very different guy when the cameras aren’t rolling.

Bush was Roker’s co-host for two months in 2016 — and it seems that their working relationship was not a healthy one.

In a new interview, Bush unleashed a stunning attack on his former colleague, describing Roker as “territorial, vindictive and chronically unprepared” during their brief time working together on NBC’s Today show.

Bush made the allegations while appearing on journalist Maureen Callahan’s podcast, “The Nerve,” where the conversation quickly turned to his experience behind the scenes at the morning show.

“I’ve always sensed rage just underneath that very overly friendly surface,” Callahan said about Roker.

She then played a throwback clip of Roker going off on Bush during a remote, yelling, “You don’t know where I’m going to be. I am going to be your worst nightmare. I’m going to live on you like a tick.”

“The way I describe Al is three words. Territorial, vindictive, and chronically unprepared,” Bush said about his former colleague.

The former Access Hollywood host claimed Roker viewed him as a threat from the moment he arrived at Today.

According to Bush, he came into the third hour of the program intending to become a central part of the show’s future. He alleged that network executives were unhappy with Roker’s performance and planned to eventually remove him from the show altogether.

Bush claimed a producer told him to simply survive his first few months on the job because management intended to move on from Roker once contractual issues were resolved.

That plan, of course, never materialized.

Just months after Bush joined Today, the infamous Access Hollywood tape featuring Donald Trump surfaced, resulting in Bush’s firing and effectively ending his NBC tenure. Roker remained with the network and continues to be one of the most recognizable faces on morning television.

But Bush says his problems with Roker extended far beyond workplace competition.

The television personality alleged that Roker became jealous whenever he gained momentum during interviews and resented sharing airtime with colleagues.

“I prepared for every guest,” Bush recalled, claiming he would thoroughly research interview subjects before appearing on air. According to Bush, Roker would become frustrated whenever Bush dominated a segment or appeared particularly prepared.

Bush went on to describe Roker as someone who does not enjoy seeing coworkers succeed.

“He’s a mean person,” Bush said during the podcast appearance. “There’s jealousy.”

He also alleged that Roker once liked a social media post that referred to Bush as a “whitesplaining racist,” a move Bush interpreted as evidence that his co-host was actively working against him behind the scenes.

Bush also claimed that both Roker and former Today anchor Matt Lauer made it clear they were not thrilled about his arrival at the network.

“You could feel it,” Bush said of the atmosphere during his short-lived run on the show.

Roker has not publicly responded to Bush’s allegations, and it’s safe to say these claims will come as a surprise to many fans.

Whether the veteran broadcaster chooses to address the accusations remains to be seen — but we’re guessing All will choose not to call amy further attention to the situation.

Late last year, teen Anna Kepner was brutally murdered while on a Carnival Cruise with her family.

Her younger stepbrother was soon identified as a suspect and then arrested.

Until now, he had been allowed pretrial release, as he was being charged as a juvenile.

He is now being charged as an adult for this heinous crime. The judge has revoked his release, ordering him to surrender to authorities.

She died by homicide last November

On November 2 of 2025, 18-year-old Anna took a fateful family trip aboard the Carnival Cruise Line’s Horizon.

She was with her father, Christopher Kepner, his new wife, Shauntel Hudson, and Shauntel’s son, 16-year-old Timothy Hudson. Also in the group were two half-siblings and a younger step-sister.

Anna was last seen alive on the night of November 6.

The next morning, she was found dead under her bed, wrapped in a blanket and “hidden” with life vests.

The FBI investigated. The Miami-Dade Medical Examiner’s Office determined that her cause of death was mechanical asphyxiation — an arm placed across her throat. Per the ruling, the manner of death was homicide.

Initially, Hudson was arrested and charged as a juvenile for the murder of his stepsister.

He appeared before a federal magistrate in February 2026, and was represented by a public defender.

In April, he was indicted by a federal grand jury on charges of murder and aggravated sexual abuse.

He will be tried as an adult.

Previously, the court had allowed him a pre-trial release, staying with a relative. That has now changed.

Timothy Hudson will be tried as an adult

On Monday, June 15, Hudson surrendered to US Marshals at the direction of Judge Edwin Torres.

The judge had reviewed existing evidence in the case.

People reported that the judge found that the prosecution’s “case for a forcible rape is beyond clear and convincing.”

The judge noted that the evidence “suggests a level of psychopathy and lack of remorse that by itself raises a serious concern that [Hudson] can snap at any time, despite the well-meaning and serious efforts of his caretakers to make sure that does not happen.”

Hudson is of course, legally speaking, innocent until proven guilty. But judges can and must weigh evidence to balance this legal principle against other factors, such as likely danger to the community and risk of flight.

Federal statutes are absolutely right to emphasize rehabilitation over pretrial detention for minors.

(Frankly, that should be the case for adults, too. Prison doesn’t make anyone better, and neither does jail. Whenever possible, it’s better to find an alternative.)

There are, however, exceptions. Whether it’s fascists and collaborators in a few years as we retake our federal government, or someone who has shown a propensity for remorseless violence on a smaller scale, some people need to be behind bars as a matter of public good and personal safety.

It’s likely that Judge Torres did not make this ruling lightly.

If anything, this ruling is a preview of the level and severity of the physical evidence that investigators have recovered and processed. Hudson’s defense will have their work cut out for them when the trial begins.
