Joseph Duggar Enters ‘Not Guilty’ Plea for Child Endangerment

Reading Time: 3 minutes

We previously reported that Kendra Caldwell pleaded not guilty to the charges of child endangerment and false imprisonment.

Her disgraced husband, Joseph Duggar, has now done the same.

Unlike his wife, Joseph entering a plea does not mean that he’s allowed to see his kids. Or any kids, given the other charges that he’s facing.

But one detail from the court records may shine a light on the defense’s legal strategy.

He has once again pleaded ‘not guilty’

According to court documents that The Ashley acquired, Joseph entered a not guilty plea to the Arkansas charges.

Like his wife, Kendra, Joseph is facing four charges of false imprisonment and four charges of endangering the welfare of a child. Each charge is in the second degree.

He entered the plea by way of his attorney on Monday, April 27.

One interesting detail is that Joseph and Kendra have the same attorney.

Travis Story has represented the Duggar clan time and time again. In a moment, we’ll explain why this particular gig is a surprise.

Kendra also entered a not guilty plea to the same charges as Joseph. In exchange, she is now allowed contact with her children. (Joseph, obviously, is not.)

(In this Arkansas case. No charges have been filed at her in connection with Joseph’s alleged molestation of a 9-year-old girl in 2020 during a Florida vacation.)

As we previously reported, authorities automatically searched the couple’s home — given the nature of Joseph’s charges.

Inside, investigators uncovered enough for eight charges for each parent. We only know a limited amount, but it appears that the children’s bedrooms locked from the outside, like prison cells.

Though the Duggar world may think nothing of mistreating children — certainly, Jim Bob and Michelle locked the children in their rooms and seemed to think that this was defensible — thankfully, that is not a universal mindset.

Wait, they have the same attorney?

Early in April, we reported on the jailhouse phone conversation between Kendra and Joseph.

“I’ve been talking to Travis,” Kendra revealed to her husband during the awkward call.

“I’ve got him as my attorney now,” she revealed. “I wasn’t sure if you knew that, I’ve asked him to be my attorney.”

Joseph replied: “I wasn’t sure who we settled with but this guy’s good.”

Kendra then corrected him: ‘Well it’s not for you, it’s only for me.” Clearly, that has now changed.

Despite confessing twice prior to his arrest, Joseph pleaded not guilty to molesting the little girl in Florida.

(One can only assume that his attorney intends to get the likely police recording of that second confession removed from evidence. But that is pure speculation.)

The disgraced Duggar is due in court on May 18.

Meanwhile, he and Kendra are both due in court in Arkansas on August 10 of this year.

Given that they now have the same attorney, we can only assume that the legal strategy will not be for, say, Kendra to throw Joseph under the bus when it comes to child endangerment.

That said, we are not legal experts. And it’s possible that Travis Story is only representing them both on a temporary basis — for paperwork and such — before court proceedings move forward in earnest.

Ray J Claims to Have Slept With 12,500 Women

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Move over, Wilt Chamberlain!

There’s a new champion of male promiscuity, and his name is Ray J!

Yes, Wilt famously claimed to have slept with more than 10,000 women, but Ray says he’s thoroughly slutmogged the NBA legend.

The revelation that the R&B singer is the new King of Conquests came during a recent interview on Cam Newton’s podcast.

At one point, Ray J revealed that a strip club hosted a party to celebrate his 10,000th hookup.

“We did a celebration, Booby Trap celebrated my 10,000th,” he claimed (via Page Six). “I had about 400 or 500 girls that I f–ked with, came through, supported, it was a massive parade.”

The R&B singer, now 45, admits that he’s been forced to slow down in recent years.

“I can only f–k a thousand more b–ches,” he added. “I can’t do any more.”

When Newton called Ray J’s math into question — noting that he would have needed to sleep with one and a half women a day for 30 years — the singer pushed back.

“Yeah, the math is different ’cause when we’re on tour, we’re thinking five to ten a day,” he explained.

This is not the first time that Ray has claimed to be a member of the ultra-exclusive Five Figure Club.

“Here’s what’s crazy. I just did the big celebration. They did the whole confetti at Booby Trap,” he said during a November 2025, during his appearance on the “BagFuel” podcast (via Page Six). “I was celebrating 10,000 bodies.

“It’s probably like 11,900….. I don’t know if that’s for sure, but I know it reached 10 once I got all the way there.”

It’s been a while since we’ve seen the boastful side of the man who rose to fame with the Kim Kardashian sex tape.

In recent interviews, Ray J has claimed that he only has months to live.

“2027 is definitely a wrap for me,” he said in a video shared to social media. “That’s what they say.”

“I shouldn’t have went this hard, bro,” he continued, adding:

“My baby mama gonna be straight, my kids gonna be straight, if they wanna spend all the money, they can spend it. I did my part here.

“And damn, when it’s all done, burn me, don’t bury me.”

Needless to say, Ray J has a lot going on these days. Hopefully, it won’t interfere with his ability to hit the 13,000 milestone.

Kris Jenner Denies Claims She’s Unhappy with 6-Figure Facelift

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Last summer, Kris Jenner debuted her new face to the world after a pricey facelift.

Many felt stunned to see the now-70-year-old resemble her daughters.

More recently, however, some fans have claimed that the plastic surgery has worn off, alleging that she’s unhappy and already looking for a cosmetic tune-up.

Kris says that these claims are all lies.

Rumors that she’s unhappy with her surgeon are a ‘flat out lie’

On the Wednesday, April 29 episode of the Khloe In Wonderland podcast, the host had her mother as a guest.

Kris condemned the rumor that claims that she is unhappy over her $100,000 facelift.

It has been a year since the surgery.

Some say that the results are no longer holding up for the 70-year-old momager.

Kris called that claim a “flat out lie.”

The momager condemned the “disappointing” headlines about her face and her alleged dissatisfaction.

She said that the reports “couldn’t be further form the truth.”

Kris went on to note that she “adores” Dr. Steven Levine, her plastic surgeon, calling him an “artist.”

She even went so far as to say that she feels “obsessed with him.”

Khloe’s mom teased: “I could give you a list of only the ones I know — I never would — but just all the people” upon whom he has operated.

Her biggest issue is that people are insulting her friend

“I’m upset that people are … blaming him,” Kris lamented.

A number of fans had, understandably, questioned why the momager would draw more attention to the rumor by addressing it.

But she explained that it’s not for her sake — but for the professional reputation of someone she admires.

“The only reason to speak up or say anything about it,” she reasoned, “is because it’s really hurting someone else.”

That makes a lot of sense. And Kris is definitely drawing more attention to the ugly rumor by addressing it.

If you haven’t seen it, there has been a lot of clickbait over the past week or so about Kris’ face.

This is particularly popular on TikTok, where essentially anyone can say anything, and where experts — real or imagined — can weigh in.

Plastic surgeons can highlight alleged problems to promote their own business. And other content creators can just yap for views that boost them in the algorithm.

But if Kris says that she’s satisfied with the plastic surgery on her face … then she’s directly refuting claims that she’s unhappy with it.

A year ago, some of these same content creators were churning out shortform videos (derogatory) about how Kris looks like Kim or even Kendall these days. They’ll find something new to yap about in a few days, we’re sure.
