Bunnie Xo Recalls ‘Horrific’ Suicidal Ideation Caused By Ozempic

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Bunnie Xo and her husband have both committed to living healthier lifestyles in recent years.

Jelly Roll has lost hundreds of pounds, and Bunnie has joined him on the diet train.

Like millions of other Americans who are looking to shed a few pounds, Bunnie experimented with GLP-1 medications — but it seems that she won’t be going down that road again.

In a new interview with People, Bunnie explained that the controversial weight loss and diabetes drug made her deeply depressed.

“That was one of the darkest times of my life and it was scary,” she told the magazine while promoting her upcoming memoir, Stripped Down: Unfiltered and Unapologetic, set for release on February 17.

“I prided myself on the fact that I only had anxiety. I never had depression. So when you get slammed with suicidal ideation and visions and just, oh, it was horrific,” she continued, adding:

“You want to have anxiety because you want to be scared to die. You don’t want to have depression because you literally don’t care if you want to die. So yeah, it was really dark.”

It’s a little weird to pride yourself on not being depressed or to talk about chronic anxiety like it’s a good thing, but we think we get what Xo was trying to say.

Bunnie says things got so bad that she experienced suicidal ideation for the first time in her life.

“Honestly, I just went through a bout of suicidal ideation from using a GLP-1, which, I really think people need to talk more about this. I just told them, I said, ‘I haven’t had suicidal ideation like this since 2020.’ That’s how bad it was.”

“I’m good now,” but admitted, “December was a rough month, let me tell you.”

“I wish I could be part of the cool crowd and be skinny and freaking not have a care in the world,” she explained.

“I just want people to know you’re not alone. Everybody goes through ups and downs and you are worth staying here. Please stay. Everybody, please stay because you’re here for a reason and you’re going through this, but do not make a permanent decision based on a temporary emotion because it will go away.”

Bunnie has spoken candidly about her troubled past on numerous occasions, and her honesty is one of the things fans love best about her.

And we’re sure they’ll appreciate her openness about her troubles with Ozempic.

Chuck Potthast Cause of Death: Beloved ’90 Day Fiance’ Personality Was 64

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Back in November, Chuck Potthast tragically passed away.

The man himself was not a 90 Day Fiance “star” unto himself. But as father of Elizabeth “Libby” Potthast and father-in-law to Andrei Castravet, his role of the franchise has been indelible.

For years, Chuck recoiled at his family’s fighting yet celebrated being a grandfather.

Now, he has died. He was only 64.

Chuck Potthast has died at 64

On November 23, Elizabeth Potthast took to her Instagram page to reveal that her father has died.

Chuck Potthast reportedly died on November 9.

“Two weeks ago, tragedy struck our family,” Libby revealed in her post.

“And,” she grimly acknowledged, “it has left us completely shattered.”

Elizabeth shared: “My sweet, loving, and caring dad went to heaven.”

“We’re trying to figure out how to navigate our lives,” Elizabeth wrote of her dearly departed father.

“And,” she continued, they are grappling with how to “move forward without him.”

Libby concluded: “Please respect our privacy during this extremely difficult time.”

Chuck’s cause of death has now been revealed as blunt force trauma from a fall in the shower.

That revelation comes courtesy of documents from the Hillsborough County, Florida Medical Examiner, obtained by TMZ.

Obviously, 90 Day Fiance fans were heartbroken over this news.

Elizabeth wisely deactivated her comments under the post. After all, she knows better than most that some “fans” can be cruel — especially at the most somber, vulnerable moments.

Becky posted her own tribute

However, Elizabeth and Chuck Potthast are not the only members of her family whom 90 Day Fiance viewers have seen over the years.

Alongside Libby and Andrei and her parents, Chuck and her homophobic mom, we also got to know her siblings: Charlie, Becky, and Jenn.

Becky Lichtwerch took to her own Instagram page to share a tribute to her late father.

“Two weeks ago on this day,” her post began, “my world became distorted into a place I don’t understand.”

Becky wrote: “My father Chuck went home to be with The Lord. The pain is still more than I can bare so this is all I can write.”

The Potthast family was polarizing — intentionally so, at times, to meet the demands of reality television.

90 Day Fiance fans had their favorites and least favorites.

Most, however, were big fans of Chuck.

He was a man who knew how to play along with the joke, he rearranged his whole life when his daughter’s reality TV career took off, and more than anything else, he loved his family.

This is a devastating loss. It is also a surprise, as Chuck was only 64.

In 2016, Chuck waged a cancer battle — but was cancer-free by 2017.

This past summer, Chuck underwent surgery to remove a mass that he feared was a tumor. Fortunately, it was an unusually large kidney stone.

In September, Chuck went under the knife to fix hernias that had stemmed from past surgeries. At the time, he reported that all was well.

Followers have not seen an update from the late reality TV personality since October 3, more than a month before his death.

Our hearts go out to the entire Potthast family at this time.

Drake Von & Jeffree Star Collab Gets Major Backlash (Seriously, Why?)

Reading Time: 4 minutes

In the world of sex workers, “collabs” are part of how people grow audiences and gain fans.

This time, however, it’s shaping up to do the opposite.

A couple of years ago, Drake Von was the breakout star of the porn world.

What in the world is he doing with disgraced makeup influencer (turned MAGA yak rancher) Jeffree Star?

Drake Von should be better than this

In 2023 and 2024, Drake Von — real name Dawson Bacon, which would frankly also work well as a porn star pseudonym — skyrocketed to the top of a lot of adult streaming sites.

(He should not be confused with his identical twin, Silas Brooks, who is also in the industry. They are rumored to dislike each other. A conspiracy theory claims that they are secretly the same person.)

Von has taken home awards, some of which have NSFW titles. He is known for filming gay, bisexual, and straight scenes, appealing to a wide audience.

Prior to this, his biggest controversy was arguably occasionally using zooming software to arguably distort the size of his genitals in some photos and videos. (To be clear, he doesn’t need the digital help.)

Which is what makes his recent revelation so deeply unsettling to his millions of his fans.

Drake Von inexplicably collaborating with racist & alleged predator Jeffree Star? hate that

Just after midnight on Friday, February 13, Drake Von shared this stomach-turning Instagram video.

He appears alone at first, before a second person joins him, hopping onto his back for a piggy back ride.

Multiple commenters characterized it as a “jumpscare.” They’re not wrong.

Others shared their condemnation, unfollowing Von. Some even pleaded with him to make better choices.

That is because the other man in the video is Jeffree Star.

At this point, Jeffree Star is better known for being a bad person than for makeup or yak meat or whatever

Cataloguing the many reasons for which people not only dislike but actively and passionately hate Jeffree Star is a worthy but lengthy endeavor. We’ll stick to the highlights.

Years ago, Star was an aspiring musician. He was a MySpace user. And he made a name for himself in the early years of YouTube for his makeup reviews.

The first bad thing that most of us heard about him was allegations of racism. As you can imagine, videos of him using the n-word didn’t help his case.

(Kim Kardashian apologized for mistakenly defending him, and cut professional ties with him shortly after her own ill-advised collab with Star back in 2017)

A detailed 2020 report by journalist Kat Tenbarge contained multiple allegations of sexual assault and hush-money payoffs by Star. Star has denied wrongdoing, despite records of 5-figure payoffs from his cosmetics company.

In more recent years, Star has relocated to Wyoming. There, he appears to be using his wealth to ingratiate himself with local businesses.

He owns a yak farm. And, unfortunately, he has not simply gone into quiet retirement.

Instead, Star has gone on alarming rants defending Charlie Kirk and bashing trans people, particularly the nonbinary community.

Star went on a podcast to call for both “T” and “Q” to be removed from the LGBTQ acronym. He is also saying that he does not identify with the label “gay,” despite his history of dating men more or less exclusively.

We can’t really say that his alt-right shift is a surprise. It also doesn’t seem like a grift concocted to deflect allegations of sexual misconduct. Based upon his history, all of this bigotry seems like Star’s authentic self.

Drake Von sticks out his tongue while Jeffree Star smiles creepily.

It isn’t guilt by association, but it IS very poor judgment

So, yes, a lot of people are extremely disappointed in Drake Von right now. Not just on Instagram, but even in tweets from people who didn’t leave even after the platform stopped being called Twitter.

We don’t know if they’re filming actual content (that is, porn) together, hooking up, or merely trolling. (With an image that we absolutely cannot show you, it’s clear that there has been at least some sexual contact, even if it was only for an incendiary photo)

It’s probably no surprise to hear that a lot of people are telling Von that they’re unfollowing him and unsubscribing. (It’s not all talk; anecdotally, we know that people are unfollowing him as they see this, even if it’s probably not the majority of his fans)

Von has a lot of fans who are trans, who are Black, or who aren’t but still care about right and wrong.

We don’t believe in guilt by association — bigotry is not an STI. But it says a lot about Von that he’s willing to associate with Star in any capacity, let alone allow him to touch him.

Maybe he’s only now finding out what sort of person he’s working with. Maybe everyone should watch Matt Bernstein’s Jeffree Star video to familiarize themselves with one of beauty YouTube’s worst villains.

Greg Gutfeld: Fox News Host Says Savannah Guthrie Should Take a Polygraph Test as …

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Greg Gutfeld has a long history of pushing the envelope with provocative comments.

But even some of his fans think the Fox News host went too far with his suggestion about how investigators should approach the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie.

As you’ve likely heard by now, the 84-year-old mother of Today show anchor Savannah Guthrie was taken from her home on Saturday, February 1.

Greg Gutfeld speaks during 2022 FOX Nation Patriot Awards at Hard Rock Live at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood on November 17, 2022 in Hollywood, Florida.

Nearly two weeks later, police are not much closer to locating Nancy or arresting the people responsible for her abduction.

This week saw some breaks in the case — including video of a masked man standing at Nancy’s door on the night of her disappearance — but police still have no suspect or person of interest.

And Gutfeld believes they might be looking in the wrong places.

Speaking with former NYPD detective Paul Mauro, Gutfeld suggested this week that investigators should ask Savannah to submit to a polygraph test.

“That would be having the least likely suspect, Savannah Guthrie, offer to do a polygraph, which will then put necessary pressure on others inside and outside the circle to do the same. Since no one has been ruled out, it’s one step forward in ruling in,” Gutfield said (via Radar Online).

“Anybody who says no or bristles looks unusual,” he continued.

Mauro replied that his “understanding” was that police “haven’t done anything relative to a polygraph.”

“I’m not sure we necessarily would’ve heard, but I think we would with the way things happen going out here,” Mauro added.

“And as we all know, it’s not admissible in court, but it can be a pointer.”

It seems that Gutfeld made the suggestion so that police could see which members of the family would be hesitant to take the test.

But as many on social media pointed out, that’s not really how police investigations work, and this family has already been through quite enough.

“Greg Gutfeld kept joking about the details surrounding the alleged abduction of Nancy Guthrie. He came across as a child jealous that someone else was getting attention. There’s absolutely nothing funny about this horrific case,” wrote one user on X (formerly Twitter), per Radar.

“It almost seemed like Greg Gutfeld went out of his way to be as inappropriate as possible while discussing the alleged kidnapping of Nancy Guthrie, an 84-year-old grandmother,” the account continued.

“Fox News has made this story its number one focus now for two weeks.”

But the most scathing comment may have come from the famously sharp-tongued literary legend Joyce Carol Oates, who pointed out that Gutfeld and his colleagues probably wouldn’t be giddy at the prospect of taking a polygraph test.

“fun to ask Fox News people, including Gutfeld, to take polygraphs to determine if they’re lying to Fox viewers.”

“How many do you think would say, ‘Sure! Happy to take a polygraph.’”

She’s got a point. Perhaps Gutfeld should leave this investigation up to the experts.
