Josh Duggar Argues Trial was ‘Unfair’ In Latest Desperate Appeal

Reading Time: 4 minutes

With all of the attention on Joseph Duggar’s arrest, let’s not forget about the disgraceful OG.

Josh Duggar was tried and convicted in late 2021.

He has spent every moment since then attempting to weasel out of his conviction and his sentence.

His latest argument claims that his trial was unfair — that the “real” culprit may still be out there.

He’ll likely never stop fighting his conviction

We previously reported that Josh’s new attorney previously represented convicted sex offender R. Kelly.

(It’s unclear who’s footing the bill, as the felonious Duggar had tried but failed to get a court-appointed attorney to carry on with his endless series of fruitless appeals.)

The latest argument — in a court appearance scheduled for Wednesday, April 15 — is that Josh’s trial was unfair.

Not to the victims. Not to his sisters, four of whom were his victims when he was a teenager. But to Josh himself.

Why? Because, as we reported back in 2021, Josh really wanted to argue that the “real” culprit was one of his employees. He thinks that his conviction should be thrown out because he wasn’t allowed to scapegoat the man in court.

In case you need a refresher, back in 2019, the Department of Homeland Security agents swarmed Josh’s business, a car lot.

On his computer, investigators found images and video of the sexual abuse of young, prepubescent girls.

Based upon the testimony presented in court, it sounds like Josh had created a partition on his work computer in order to conceal his crimes from his wife, Anna.

(After his 2015 cheating scandal, Josh had a creepy surveillance program put onto his devices, the same program used by Speaker Mike Johnson.)

It seems that Josh was so busy hiding his crime from his wife that he forgot that the United States government also cared about tracking down and prosecuting people who download and possess horrific material of real children, real victims.

He really wanted to make the jury believe that another man was guilty

During the trial, the judge very understandably did not allow Josh’s team to argue that one of his employees had been responsible.

(One has to imagine the argument. That would mean an employee going into his boss’ office, booting up the computer, setting up a partition, downloading horrific content, and then just hoping that the boss didn’t notice.)

Josh’s legal motion also claims that a prosecution manipulated forensic data and lied under oath.

So, he’s essentially saying that he was framed.

But his filing also appears to be a complaint that he wasn’t allowed to frame someone else.

“This perjured testimony misled the jury, obstructed the defense’s ability to challenge the evidence, and violated Joshua Duggar’s Fifth and Sixth Amendment rights,” the filing complains.

Notably, Josh has made a similar argument in a past appeal.

It was not successful.

However, the beauty of Josh’s throw-things-at-the-wall-and-see-what-sticks strategy is that only one thing really needs to stick.

He’s serving a 12-year sentence. He has nothing but time. And he only needs to get lucky in court once. (Hey, that’s great for innocent folks — but chilling when it comes to someone like Josh.)

There’s an elephant in the room, and his name is Joseph

For many years, Josh has been the ominous dark cloud casting a shadow over his family — while paradoxically shining a light on how sick and twisted the cult truly is.

Now, the tables have turned, as brother Joseph Duggar is the latest member of the family to be accused of preying upon little girls.

Notably, Josh publicly insisted that Joseph is innocent. Of course, then we heard that Joseph confessed twice. But Joseph has also pleaded not guilty in a Florida court.

Regardless, the fact that he’s not the only sibling accused of very similar crimes is likely to be a hot topic as both disgraced brothers go to court.

We hope for safety for all children and consequences for the evil adults who prey upon them.

Sandra Lee, aka Dr. Pimple Popper, Suffered a Stroke While Filming

Reading Time: 2 minutes

We have troubling news to report from the world of reality television today.

Sandra Lee, who has starred on the series Dr. Pimple Popper since 2018, revealed this week that she recently suffered a stroke while filming.

News of the medical emergency comes courtesy of Lee herself, who opened up in a recent interview with People magazine.

Dr. Sandra Lee speaks onstage during the Premiere VIP Screening Event Of All-New Lifetime Show "Dr. Pimple Popper: Breaking Out" With Dr. Sandra Lee at Dolby Theatre on April 10, 2025 in Los Angeles, California.

“I notice it right now that I don’t speak exactly the way I used to. You’re really embarrassed to speak because you notice it,” she told the outlet.

“It happened while I was filming the show,” Lee recalled, adding:

“I had what I thought was a hot flash. I got super sweaty and didn’t feel like myself.

“I just felt very restless. In one leg I kept feeling shooting pains.”

Lee explains that she couldn’t sleep, and when she stood up to get something to eat, “I noticed that I was having a tough time walking down the stairs.”

The show stopped filming for two months, and Lee says she’s still not fully recuperated.

“It is very stressful to open yourself up,” Lee, 55, told People, ahead of her show’s season premiere on April 20th. “

“Especially as a surgeon, you always want to show yourself coming from an area of strength.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Lee opened up about the appeal of her long-running series:

“It’s so fascinating to me that [watching the extractions] relaxes some people,” said Lee, who is a graduate of both a UCLA and Drexel University College of Medicine.

“People watch the videos over and over again because it helps them go to sleep at night. Others watch it like it’s a scary movie or a roller coaster,” she continue, adding

“I’m not a natural pop-aholic [a term for someone who loves watching extractions]. But I feel really lucky that I get to actually see how what I do transforms somebody’s life.”

Clearly, Lee’s enthusiasm for her work hasn’t suffered as a result of her medical issues.

We wish her all the best as she continues along her road to recovery.

Guy Fieri ‘Devastated’ By Backlash Over Andrew Tate Greeting: I Didn’t …

Reading Time: 3 minutes

You cannot be nice to everyone. Not everyone deserves it.

As we previously reported, Guy Fieri’s friendly fistbump with Andrew Tate received a lot of righteous backlash.

Some even pointed out that the Mayor of Flavortown has been seen rubbing elbows with other evil men.

Fieri is speaking out, admitting that he’s “devastated.” He promises that he can explain.

‘I was there to see the fights’

On Tuesday, April 14, Fieri tweeted a statement responding to the intense backlash.

“I’m seeing all of your comments about the photo from Saturday’s UFC event,” he began.

“And,” Fieri expressed, “ll I can say is that I’m devastated.”

He explained: “I was there to see the fights.”

His explanation continued: “And when I was walking through the venue, the Tate brothers stood up and said hello and that’s when the exchanged happened.”

Anyone could, in theory, be subjected to a friendly greeting from infamous men who are, among other things, accused of rape and human trafficking.

So why did Fieri respond to them with a fistbump instead of something more hostile, more righteous?

“I did not know them or about them before that moment,” Fieri claimed.

“I’ll never pretend to be a perfect person,” he added.

“But let me be crystal clear,” Fieri declared, “I do not know the Tate brothers nor do I support them in any way.”

The criminal cases against the Tate brothers are not new or a secret

Both Andrew Tate and his brother, Tristan Tate, are facing a slew of allegations.

They’re under investigation for 21 offenses in the UK alone. There are also cases against them in Romania and the United States.

Even without the allegations, the brothers are very publicly disgraceful.

Andrew in particular is notoriously part of the “manosphere,” a toxic online community of the worst influencers alive, promoting misogyny, toxic masculinity, and unrealistic images of success.

Even if they were not accused of rape and human trafficking, Fieri greeting them so warmly would have been a scandal.

As you can see from the small sample of replies that we have included, even denizens of what was once Twitter aren’t buying Fieri’s claims.

Many challenged the idea that he’d so warmly greet men whom he believed to be total strangers.

Others pointed out that, for years, Fieri has made poor choices when it comes to his interactions.

As far back as 2023, he was called out and condemned for normalizing Donald Trump, who at the time was already threatening to retake power.

(Salon did a great piece on Fieri at the time, and it’s worth a read.)

Could he be telling the truth about not knowing?

Real talk: it is entirely possible that Fieri has no idea who Andrew and Tristan Tate are.

(Can you imagine? We like to be aware of the threats that exist out there, but we’re also deeply envious on some levels.)

Fieri was born in the 1960s. In fact, he’ll be 60 in a couple of years. He might not know two influencers who primarily target teenage boys with their sinister grift.

However, this again goes to the problem of Fieri’s lack of overall judgment. The same thing that’s gotten him into trouble for associating with other scumbags, like Trump.

Simply put, we get wanting to be seen as the friendly guy who’s nice to everyone. But if you’re open and friendly to everyone, you will drive some people away. Some people — like the Tate brothers — are undeserving of human kindness.

Clavicular Survives Overdose, Shows Off Facial Damage From ‘Life Support Mask’

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Clavicular has become something of an internet-wide joke due to his intense commitment to improving his physical appearance.

But there’s nothing funny about the events that took place during his latest livestream.

According to People and other outlets, Clavicular — whose real name is Braden Peters — suffered an overdose and was rushed to a nearby hospital.

“Holy s–t dude, I’m trying my best, but I’m f—ing destroyed right now,” Peters said to a female companion during the stream.

“When did you last take blue?” another male influencer, who goes by Androgenic, asked.

Androgenic later offered an update on X (formerly Twitter):

“I hadn’t seen him in this state before and he went from speaking to being fairly unresponsive in mere seconds. Within a minute we all realised the situation, turned the stream off, picked him up and rushed him to the hospital.”

Other influencers expressed concern, including Whoa Vicky, who recently appeared on Peters’ popular stream.. “Praying for clav,” she wrote.

Peters later offered an update, assuring fans that he would be fine after overdoing it on unspecified substances.

“Just got home, that was brutal. All of the substances are just a cope trying to feel neurotypical while being in public, but obviously that isn’t a real solution,” he wrote, adding:

“The worst part of tonight was my face descending from the life support mask.”

This is just one of several recent controversies surrounding the 20-year-old social media celebrity.

In March, Clavicular was arrested for assault, though it’s not clear if he’ll face charges.

The latest incident comes just days after Clavicular’s controversial interview with 60 Minutes Australia, which ended with the influencer storming out after being questioned about his connection to the incel movement.

“I mean, how could you ask me that question as a follow-up after you asked me about my relationships to women?” he replied, adding:

“I mean, that’s quite literally the worst sequence of questions I think I’ve ever heard

“Looksmaxxing was obviously a term created by the incel community. How do you feel about being linked to that group?” the interviewer elaborated, leading Peters to reply:

“I’m not linked to that group in any way. Looksmaxxing is self-improvement, right? So it’s about potentially even ascending out of that category. So that would be kind of one of the goals — to dissociate from being an incel and overcome that. So that doesn’t make sense.”

It was then that Peters got seriously combative, suggesting that the interviewer’s wife had been unfaithful.

“I see you want to make this political,” he said, adding:

“Too bad I didn’t have time to look into, you know, anything about potentially, you know, who your wife cheated with, but don’t try to go down that line of questioning with me.”

Clavicular gained fame by presenting himself as an aspirational figure to millions of young men.

Hopefully, they’re looking at his recent woes and realizing he has quite a few issues to sort out.
