Things turned both ugly and awkward on the July 29 episode of Welcome to Plathville.

While sitting alongside boyfriend Micah Plath, Veronica Peters opened way open on air about the reality star’s disloyalty to her over the course of their relationship.

“Micah has cheated on me several times,” Veronica said very simply, adding for all to hear and process:

“I hate his behavior. I’ve denied it all. I’ve made a united front. I lied to people. I protect[ed] you. When I knew the truth.”

Veronica continued as follows, holding nothing at all back:

“I was more scared about the truth coming out because it would hurt you. And I put myself aside and my pride and backed him and blamed myself.”

Over the last year or two, plenty of unfortunate allegations have been leveled at various members of the Plath family.

For instance, Olivia has said ex-husband Ethan was violent during their time as husband and wife.

Veronica, for her part, went on to say that she had no interest in being around Micah’s family, with Micah himself acknowledging the major tension.

“There’s been things on both sides. It’s been a heated thing,” the 24-year old said on this episode, referring to his family icing out Veronica and her causing a bigger wedge between him and them.

Veronica, meanwhile, said that she felt betrayed by Moriah Plath based on the timing of their fight, revealing:

“She knows what I was going through when she treated me like that.”

It’s worth noting here, of course, that Veronica and Micah were still a couple when she was saying all of these things on the episode.

“I’d back you when you hurt me. You don’t care. You care about yourself,” she said about her boyfriend, addressing him directly. “I have backed you. When you have done the most selfish [thing], I have backed you.”

After revealing Micah had been unfaithful, Veronica claimed that “Moriah knew about” his transgression, adding that despite being in the know she “still blocked me through this hell.”

The installment wrapped up with Veronica crying on the couch … as Micah sat beside her without uttering a word.

In a preview for Welcome to Plathville Season 7, Veronica admitted that she didn’t portend a happy ending for her and Micah.

“I feel like I’m in chemistry class and, like, mixing things together, and it’s going to explode any second,” she said to cameras. “I know this will go bad. Mark my words.”

These days, Jax Taylor swears that he’s sober — and that he has every intention of remaining that way.

After leaving rehab, Taylor even sold his stake in the bar he partially owned as proof of his commitment to his new lifestyle.

But estranged wife Brittany Cartwright has seen too much of Jax’s dark side to believe his latest claims.

And she laid into her ex like never before during Tuesday night’s The Valley reunion show.

Yes, Jax recently quit The Valley, but the reunion was filmed before that announcement — and he really got raked over the coals in what might have been his final filming session for Bravo.

Brittany recalls the worst of Jax’s violent tantrums

As we previously reported, Jax threw a violent tantrum when he learned that Brittany had hooked up with a friend of his (even though they’d been broken up for a month, and he had cheated on her repeatedly during their relationship).

Jax admitted that news of the hookup caused him to “spiral” — but that hardly justifies what happened next.

“I think it was a little sooner than month, it was just hurtful,” he said last night, before admitting, “I went against what I said, too. I had somebody at my house. I’m not trying to start a war here, this is what made me spiral.”

Brittany accused Jax of downplaying the incident, revealing that he got “extremely aggressive” with her.

“He threw the coffee table, it landed on my knee, it turned black immediately. He threw both bar stools, he threw my Stanley cup and broke it. He threw my phone and broke it. He threw my laptop and broke it,” Brittany explained on the reunion, adding that Jax “threw me into the rose bushes” outside their home.

Jax denied that last claim, prompting Brittany to reveal that the incident was caught on camera:

“Yes, you did. It’s on my Ring camera doorbell. My close friends up here have seen the videos,” she insisted.

Brittany says Jax has been very promiscuous since their split

Cartwright went after Taylor again when the topic of vasectomies came up.

Host Andy Cohen asked if Jax was planning on undergoing the procedure, prompting Brittany to chime in, “He’s gonna have 20 baby mamas if he doesn’t.”

It was then that Andy asked Jax if he uses condoms — and that really set Brittany off.

“He’s disgusting. I would not touch that dirty d–k with a 10-inch pole,” Cartwright said.

“That’s not what you said four months ago, when we were at the aquarium. And you were like, do you think we should hook up one more time? You said that, at Hooter’s, 4 months ago. You were drunk, too,” Taylor shot back.

Brittany then revealed that her fling with Jax’s friend Julian was prompted in part by her desire to feel sexy after her ex brutally body-shamed her.

This man degraded me, put me down, body-shamed me constantly,” she said.

“Julian gave me attention that I needed in that moment. He made me feel sexy, he made me feel beautiful. He was what I needed because you made me literally lose my sparkle. And everybody knows it.”

She added that after she gave birth, Jax “body-shamed me for stretch marks” and “literally called me a tree trunk because I had stretch marks.”

Jax actually admitted to much of the bad behavior he was accused of, stating that his substance abuse issues were to blame.

“I don’t want to touch drugs and alcohol again, it’s f–ked up my life. It’s tough. It’s f–king hard. I know it’s hard for her,” he said. “She’s the victim here, not me. I’m a human being, too. Believe it or not, some people think I’m the devil, I get it, but I still have feelings, too.”

Brittany stated that she would consider allowing Jax to take their son on weekends once he’s proven that he’s sober for good.

Despite being found not guilty of sex trafficking and racketeering, Sean “Diddy” Combs is still behind bars as he awaits sentencing on lesser charges.

Having already been locked up for 11 months, Combs might be set free on time served when he goes in front of judge for a sentencing hearing in October.

Prosecutors are requesting 20 years, but legal experts say that’s unlikely that Diddy will receive such a harsh sentence.

Still, it’s not hard to see why Combs might prefer not to take any chances.

And apparently, that’s where Donald Trump comes in …

Insiders say Trump is considering pardoning Diddy

For months now, there’s been talk of Combs’ campaigning for a pardon from President Donald Trump.

Trump has acknowledged the possibility of such a move, but he has not revealed where he stands on the matter.

There was a time when a pardon for Combs would have resulted in outrage, even among Trump’s supporters.

But Diddy’s acquittal on the more serious charges has resulted in a shift in public perception.

And now, the disgraced mogul is reportedly the subject of some very high-level talks.

Is Trump serious about pardoing Diddy, or is it just another ‘weave?’

Insiders tell Deadline that the possibility of a pardon has gone from “just another Trump weave to an actionable event.”

In the past, Trump has referred to the tactical and rhetorical tricks he uses to sidestep inconvenient issues and zero in on expedient ones as “weaves.”

In this case, many of his critics, including Reverend Al Sharpton have accused the president of using celebrity feuds, such as his recent beef with Beyonce to distract from the ongoing uproar over the Jeffrey Epstein files.

Trump went from promising the release of the late sex trafficker’s client list to claiming that no such list exists and encouraging his followers to move on.

Pardoning a sex offender in the wake of such a controversy might seem like an outrageous blunder.

But many MAGA loyalists applauded when Trump pardoned Todd and Julie Chrisley back in May, and the president might be hoping to score a PR win by letting yet another celebrity off the hook.

We’re sure his administration would welcome the distraction from more inconvenient matters.

But many of Trump’s most high-profile supporters, including journalist Megyn Kelly, are staunchly opposed to the idea.

“Trump should not pardon Diddy” Kelly tweeted today.

She explained that “he doesn’t deserve it” and listed several reasons why it would such a move would be wildly unpopular:

“He’s a Trump hater. He’s a woman abuser. MAGA is already upset over elites seeming to cover for each other. This would not help. GOP struggling w/young female voters, most of whom will HATE a Diddy pardon,” Kelly continued.

But as we’ve learned many times in recent years, Trump is gonna do what Trump is gonna do. So don’t be surprised if Diddy is soon cleared of any legal wrongdoing.

Is Tom Brady shading Gisele Bundchen?

Following the former couple’s divorce, various dating rumors have followed the controversial athlete.

Everyone has roasted Brady over the greatest fumble of his career: losing his beautiful life because he wasn’t ready to retire yet.

Well, it sounds like he’s on the defensive. He seems to be shading his gorgeous ex-wife, insisting that his workaholic obsession with football made him a better dad.

Is Tom Brady offering advice, or clapping back at Gisele Bundchen?

On Tuesday, July 29, Tom Brady wrote in his 199 newsletter about his career and his role as a parent.

“I think part of being a great father is being a great example of doing what it takes to take care of your family,” he opined.

Brady acknowledged: “I chose to do it by playing football.”

“My dedication to the sport, the hours of practice, the moments when I was laser focused,” the polarizing athlete listed.

Brady asserted: “Those were times when I believe I was doing the best possible thing for my family and my kids.”

He wrote: “By prioritizing my profession and teaching, by example, what it takes to be really good at your job.”

‘Not the only ways to be a great parent’

“What it takes to follow through on commitments, what it takes to be a great teammate;” Tom Brady continued to list.

“And showing them, also by example, that work is a big part of all of our lives.”

Sounding almost defensive, he asserted: “Reading bedtime stories and helping them with homework are not the only ways to be a great parent.”

Brady then acknowledged: “And neither is winning Super Bowls or MVPs.”

“Being a great football player didn’t make me a great dad, but how I became a great player certainly had an impact,” Brady claimed.

He listed that this had an impact: “From showing up day in and day out, to doing whatever it took to get better, be successful, be a role model, and to provide.” From there, his tone shifted.

“You won’t be perfect. Nobody is. You will fail and disappoint people along the way,” Brady admitted.

“But if you stay committed to your goals over time, even when your priorities shift (which they do at times), then you can be confident that you are living a life of integrity and purpose.”

Is all of this Tom Brady commenting on Gisele Bundchen?

It almost sounds as if the notorious ex-football star is defending himself to Gisele Bundchen rather than, you know, just offering advice to people who want advice from Tom Brady.

Brady is a father to 17-year-old Jack, 15-year-old Benjamin, and 12-year-old Vivian.

Even before their October 2022 divorce, Bundchen cited her role as a homemaker and her desire for Brady to commit to his retirement from football.

It does sound a little like Brady is offering more of a justification of his choices than advice. But then, plenty of workaholics might find his statements useful in defending their own choices.

Jeremy Vuolo may have just dropped a major Duggar Family bombshell.

On the July 30 edition of the Jinger & Jeremy podcast, Vuolo delved for the first time into past problems in his relationship with wife Jinger Duggar… seemingly implying that she may have been unfaithful to him.

We mean, how else can one interpret the quote down below?

“There was a time in our life, very early on in our marriage, where we experienced some… I describe it as deep betrayal,” Jeremy confessed to listeners. “You have relationships in your life that ground you, and when those shake or are removed, you feel like, ‘What am I doing?’”

Jeremy and Jinger exchanged vows in November 2016.

They shares children Felicity, 6 and Evangeline, 4, and Finnegan, 4 months.

The spouses often open up about various revelations on their podcast, but we can’t recall ever hearing either utter the word deep betrayal before.

To be clear, Vuolo didn’t delve into any more specifics behind the meaning of this intriguing term that he used on air.

As you might expect, Jeremy said he and his spouse navigated the (mysterious!) trying time in their relationship by turning to their faith leaders for guidance and advice.

“I’ll never forget what [the pastor] said,” Vuolo recalled. “He said, ‘Jeremy, I think the Lord’s teaching you how to walk alone.’ And not alone like me away from her or us from the Lord, but the two of us having to be dependent upon him.”

Jeremy and Jinger have come across for a long time now as a perfectly happy and very affectionate couple. But looks can be deceiving, of course.

“It’s eight years on,” Jeremy went on. “We’re in Los Angeles. We have friends who are family to us. We have a deep community that we’re invested and involved in. We have everything we didn’t have in that moment, and yet, those years were necessary.”

Jinger, for her part, jumped in later to say the experience (the deep betrayal, that is) had a major impact on her connection with her husband.

“For us as newlyweds, it was huge because we were able to draw closer to each other,” she said. “We felt like so close throughout our relationship [and] early marriage, but that was a deepening and a whole different level when you walk through pain and hardship together.”

Previously, an infidelity scandal shook up the Duggars after Josh Duggar admitted in 2015 to having cheated on his wife with women he met on an adultery website.

“I have been the biggest hypocrite ever,” Josh wrote back then on his family’s official website.

“While espousing faith and family values, I have secretly over the last several years been viewing pornography on the internet and this became a secret addiction and I became unfaithful to my wife. I am so ashamed of the double life that I have been living and am grieved for the hurt, pain and disgrace my sin has caused my wife and family, and most of all Jesus and all those who profess faith in Him.”

Added Duggar, who is serving time in prison for child pornography possession:

“The last few years, while publicly stating I was fighting against immorality in our country, I was hiding my own personal failings…

“As I am learning the hard way, we have the freedom to choose to our actions, but we do not get to choose our consequences.

“I deeply regret all hurt I have caused so many by being such a bad example. I humbly ask for your forgiveness. Please pray for my precious wife Anna and our family during this time.”
