No one in the extended family has been more outspoken after Joseph’s arrest than Amy.

She’s openly admitting that, with very few exceptions, she’s “no contact” with her uncle, aunt, and cousins.

Considering that her mom called for the Duggars to be investigated, that’s really no surprise.

Now, Amy says that she’s open to a dialogue with some of her cousins. But there are conditions.

‘There is no contact’

During an interview with Oxygen, the infamous Duggar cousin revealed that she is not in touch with Jim Bob, with Michelle, or with most of her cousins.

“I have heard nothing from them,” she confirmed.

“Absolutely, there is no contact,” Amy emphasized.

There are many reasons to go no contact with family who were once important to you. How the Duggars have responded to Josh and now Joseph’s arrests and related scandals is only one of them.

She added: “That is just something that I have put boundaries in place.”

“I don’t know what they’re thinking,” Amy admitted with a bit of resignation.

“I don’t know really what’s going on on that side of the family,” she added.

“From what I see in the news that I’ve gathered, it’s heavy,” Amy assessed. “It’s really heavy.”

Beliefs among the Duggars likely range from denial to horror to, as we have mentioned in the past, the belief that sinister supernatural forces are attacking their family.

With that in mind, Amy remains in close contact with her cousin, Jill. Not so with Jill’s parents or most of her siblings.

She’s open to contact again, but only under certain conditions

“I would be open to a conversation with any of my cousins that are free and good people,” Amy clarified.

“I would love to connect with maybe some of the girls,” she expressed.

Amy set the condition: “However, they have to be able to have an open and honest conversation with me.”

“If you wanna get to know the real me, the door is open,” Amy reiterated. “but I’m gonna protect my son no matter what, from anyone and everyone I possibly can that I think might have some issues.”

She admitted: “So far, no one has really walked through it except for Jill. Jill and I are so extremely close.”

“Jill and I were in communication the second we found out,” Amy said of Joseph’s arrest for child sexual abuse of a 9-year-old girl.

“I can’t describe the amount of pain that she has felt through all of the different scandals and all the different horrible things that have happened in our family,” she expressed.

Amy added: “My heart just goes out to her.”

She did clarify that she does not feel hatred towards her extended family. She wishes that they were healthy and good, but knows that they are not.

“I feel like the truth has always been so hard to find in my family,” Amy lamented. It seems unlikely that that cycle will break with most of her cousins any time soon.

This week marks one year since the death of Ozzy Osbourne.

And Kelly Osbourne marked the occasion with a lengthy Instagram post about what she’s learned from her 12 months of grief.

But while most commenters were sympathetic, some folks accused Kelly of using Ozzy’s death to draw attention to herself.

“I don’t just mourn the father I lost. I mourn the soul I was before death taught my heart its own name,” Kelly wrote, adding:

“There is a grief that steals more than the person you love. It quietly takes the light from your laughter, the innocence from your hope, and the stranger you become is someone you’ll spend a lifetime trying to recognize.

“People think grief is missing someone who is gone, but the deepest sorrow is waking each day longing for the version of yourself who died with them.

“Grief is a language no one truly speaks until life forces it upon them.”

She went on to describe Ozzy as her “best friend,” “protector,” and “greatest teacher,” writing that she still feels his presence in everyday life despite the pain of no longer being able to speak with or hug him.

She also said she sees pieces of her father living on through her young son, Sidney, and thanked him for the love and guidance he gave her throughout her life.

Unfortunately, the touching tribute attracted plenty of harsh criticism.

Some social media users accused Kelly of focusing too much on her own grief instead of celebrating Ozzy’s extraordinary legacy.

According to Radar Online, critics claimed the post centered more on Kelly’s emotions than on the legendary musician’s accomplishments, with several commenters suggesting she was “making it all about herself.”

Others defended her, pointing out that grieving the loss of a parent is deeply personal and that everyone processes loss differently.

“Man if this isn’t one of the most relatable, accurate descriptions of the grief journey. I’m so so sorry. Big hugs from someone who also lost her dad. He’s with you always,” wrote one user.

It’s hardly the first time Kelly has been targeted online.

In recent months, she has repeatedly addressed cruel comments about her appearance and weight while continuing to mourn her father’s death. She has previously called the criticism “disgusting” and pushed back against speculation surrounding her health.

Sources close to the situation tell Radar that Kelly is taking the criticism in stride:

“Most people understand Kelly is sharing her own experience, but some online critics believe every anniversary post becomes centered on her emotions rather than Ozzy’s extraordinary legacy. That’s where the trolling is coming from,” says one insider.

“Supporters see a daughter processing unimaginable loss, while detractors accuse her of making herself the focus. It’s become an unfortunate pattern every time she speaks publicly about her father,” another added.

Everyone grieves differently, and our thoughts go out to the entire Osbourne clan as they continue to try and process their enormous loss.

Back in April, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex took a trip to Australia.

Many recall this trip because the two were well-received, which seemed to make the royal firm frantic.

One of the things that actually happened was that Meghan Markle made a guest appearance on MasterChef Australia.

Now, a report describes an upsetting encounter as personalities clashed behind the scenes. What happened?

‘All the way from sunny California …’

According to a report from SkyNews, Meghan clashed with MasterChef Australia judge Poh Ling Yeow.

“We’ve had MasterChef royalty in the kitchen before but no one like this,” Yeow announced in a promotional clip.

“All the way from sunny California, please welcome to MasterChef Australia … the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle!” she continued.

That sounds like a slightly cringe but otherwise fine introduction. That’s pretty normal for a cooking show introducing a celebrity guest.

But the report alleges that Meghan felt “frustrated” by the remark, which left Yeow feeling “upset.”

“It wasn’t about Meghan personally,” the inside source claimed.

“Poh felt she had been unintentionally drawn into a royal protocol issue she never intended to be part of,” the insider explained.

That sounds like the story of Meghan’s life over the past decade.

Yeow reportedly wanted to personally apologize to Meghan for any awkwardness, but apparently the show talked her out of it.

“She was willing to reach out immediately,” a second source alleged. “But she was advised to leave it for production to handle.”

‘There was no frustration on Meghan’s side …’

According to a third source, some moments were filmed but will never air from the episode. (That’s how TV works.)

“Poh is full of energy — she’s always joking and lifting the mood,” the third insider described.

The source claimed: She tried to bring that same spark with Meghan, cracking a few playful lines, but not all of it landed as intended.”

Meanwhile, a source close to Meghan told Page Six that she and Yeow “had a great time together on set.”

The insider clarified: “There was no frustration on Meghan’s side about anything that was said on set.”

What are we to make about this?

Well, it’s always possible that this is just part of the flurry of anti-Meghan stories that came pouring out of the royal firm as royalists panicked over how well liked Meghan and Harry are outside of beans-on-toast island.

But we can also consider the possibility that there was a small slice of awkwardness on set when someone dropped the word “royalty” in the same line as mentioning Meghan.

That said, we hope that she knows by now that no matter what she says or does, nothing will ever be good enough for the people who hate her. They clearly do not need a reason to hate her, after all.

Ultimately, it’s up to each individual whether to decide whether they believe that Meghan had some sort of huffy bit on screen or whether she was just a normal guest judge. The latter is more reasonable but, hey, you can believe anything that you like, we suppose.

Mama June Shannon loves to drop messy family allegations on social media for no apparent reason.

This time, her claim is about daughter Lauryn “Pumpkin” Shannon and her boyfriend, Darrin Kitchens.

(Lauryn is no stranger to airing dirty laundry, for what it’s worth.)

June says that Lauryn’s new man has multiple sugar mamas … and that one of them may be pregnant.

One of the sugar mamas might now be a baby mama …

Mama June took to her TikTok page to allege that Lauryn’s boyfriend, Darrin Kitchens, has knocked up one of his sugar mamas.

During the TikTok Live on Tuesday, July 21, June told followers that this was not yet confirmed.

“He really might have a girl pregnant, but we’re kind of concerned about that, but that hasn’t came out yet, so don’t tell nobody,” she said during the Live.

Speaking about something on social media as a public figure is not a traditional way to keep a secret.

Interestingly, June dished on this claim without calling for Lauryn to dump Darrin. Why is that?

According to June, she believes that Lauryn and Darrin are not cheating.

“Because Darrin does his thing, Pumpkin does her thing,” she explained, “so I guarantee that they’re probably in an open relationship.”

June shadily added: “But hey, if they’re okay with being in an open relationship and [Pumpkin is] going to different cities and meeting her sugar daddies, and [Darrin] meeting his sugar mamas here in Georgia.”

She added: “I mean, if they’re cool with that, I’m cool with that.” It’s unclear if Lauryn is invested in June’s opinion of her romance.

June added that her daughter and Darrin are hoping that their hookups will bankroll a $90,000 new pool at Lauryn’s house.

Pumpkin claims that she invented this rumor

June went on to detail the alleged sugar mamas in Jones County, including a multi-millionaire like June once was, a woman who works at the sheriff’s office, and an associate of Lauryn.

She also warned that Lauryn will feel “heartbroken” if this other woman truly is pregnant. Lauryn and Darrin are both already parents, by the way.

For her part, Lauryn is actively debunking her mother’s allegations, The Ashley documented.

“I texted her last night to start some tea just so y’all would yap it up,” she claimed in an Instagram comment.

On Facebook, Lauryn claimed that June is “just stirring s–t up” in order to “get mfs talking.”

Who should we believe?

Well, there is really no reason to believe that June is telling the truth, even without Lauryn’s counterclaims.

On the other hand, there is also no reason to believe that “Pumpkin” is telling the truth, either.

Both women have possible motives to lie. And Lauryn’s version of events also admits to a deceitful conspiracy to hoodwink fans. But to what end?

There is seemingly nothing to be gained by conjuring up a dramatic story only to debunk it within days. But, then again, nothing that this family does makes any kind of sense. That’s why they’re on reality TV.
