[Update] Tamar Braxton Lawyers Up After Funky Dineva Accused Her Of Hooking Up w/ Mendeecees Harris
Tamar Braxton and her legal team are shutting down a viral accusation made by Funky Dineva, calling it nothing more than a “completely untrue rumor.” The commentator recently alleged Tamar was involved in an inappropriate relationship with Mendeecees, a claim her camp says is entirely fabricated. In a firm statement shared with fans, Tamar’s attorney stressed that the story had no basis in truth and was being addressed immediately.
Tamar echoed that message directly, telling the public, “I’m letting my lawyers take it from here,” making it clear she plans to let legal action speak louder than online speculation.
Dineva broke the internet Monday night, when he claimed that Tamar and Mendeecees were making out in a car?
Y’all believe Dineva on this one?
“RHOP” Star Wendy Osefo & Husband Eddie Reportedly Rejoin As Co-Defendants In Fraud Case
It seems #WendyOsefo has had a sudden change of mind about the legal strategy for the fraud allegations she’s facing alongside her hubby, #EddieOsefo.
The #RHOP star and Eddie were arrested in October on several charges, including felony insurance fraud and conspiracy to commit fraud. The charges are related to an April 2024 burglary, where the couple is accused of filing fraudulent claims for items that were allegedly not stolen. After pleading not guilty, Wendy filed paperwork last month to be tried separately from Eddie.
Now, according to the What Else Is Going On podcast host, the Osefos were granted a request to once again move forward as co-defendants. Sharing images of what appears to be the back of Wendy and Eddie’s heads in a courtroom, the media personality claimed on X, “Well they filed to now have their cases tried together AGAIN… judge granted it. They will no longer be tried separate [sic] AND are back to being CO-defendants.”
They’re reportedly due back in court on December 19.

It looks like Love & Hip Hop Atlanta star, Karlie Redd got herself caught in quite the pickle, as she was just pinched in Dekalb County on some felony charges.
According to 11 Alive, Benzino’s ex-boo was booked on a burglary charge last week in Georgia as authorities say this past January she entered a private home without permission where she caught a case of sticky fingers and began lifting personal items that did not belong to her. An arrest warrant for Karlie Lewis (Redd) was approved by a judge on April 4 along with $15,000 bail bond in the matter.
11 Alive reports:
The documents state the incident happened between Jan. 13 and Jan. 15 at a residential property. Prosecutors allege that Lewis entered the home through the rear master bedroom door and took items, including a birth certificate, a watch, and a card belonging to the resident. A video cited in the affidavit reportedly shows Lewis in the garage, looking through a window and entering the property.
While police have not released the name of the person listed as the victim, Lewis’ attorney confirmed it was her estranged husband, Teleau Belton.
Karlie must’ve thought her ex-husband wouldn’t call the law to handle the situation. She thought wrong. Karlie Redd turned herself in on April 24 and was released on consent bond.
“The warrant taken out on April 4 alleges Karlie’s husband is the claimed “victim.” As everyone knows, Karlie and her husband are in the midst of a divorce proceeding, and her husband has previously been charged in Fulton County with family violence battery against her. I am very confident Karlie’s case will be resolved favorably,” Sadow said in a statement.
No court date has been set, but we’re sure it’ll serve as a storyline to a future season of Love & Hip Hop Atlanta. Heck, they could use a ratings boost.
What do y’all think about Karlie Redd getting pinched for robbing her ex-husband? Let us know in the comments section below.
A lot of things happened while JoJo Siwa was on Celebrity Big Brother UK.
First, there was her awakward interaction with castmate actor Mickey Rourke, who asked if she liked “girls or boys,” to which Siwa responded that she’s attracted to women and that her partner, Kath Ebbs, is non-binary. The 72-year-old Murder Motel star then said something that earned him a formal warning the show’s producers when he told Siwa, “If I stay longer than four days you won’t be gay anymore.”
After other homophobic comments, fellow competitor Chris Hughes called Rourke out for his language. Then, in an episode last week, after a discussion with Drag Race UK winner Danny Beard about how her Big Brother experience was helping her come to terms with her evolving sexuality, Siwa had a revelation. She said living in the house, “made me feel so queer. And I’ve always been afraid of feeling ‘queer,’”… like, I always said ‘lesbian,’ right? But I feel, like, so queer… I think I’ve always told myself I’m a lesbian, and I think being here I’ve realized, ‘Oh, I’m not a lesbian, I’m queer.’ And I think that’s really cool.”

Siwa told ITV’s This Morning on Monday (April 28) that the reality TV lockdown also made her realize that things she was “okay with in my life that I should never have been okay with in the first place.” When one of the hosts asked if she was referring to the relationship with Ebbs, Siwa said, “so many things and that is one of them.”
Trending on Billboard
As viewers know, Siwa, 21, broke up with Ebbs at the show’s wrap party and the singer/actress told This Morning that that was not her plan. “Initially, I was told that the wrap party was something they [Ebbs] didn’t want to attend and then about an hour into the wrap party they decided they wanted to,” she said of the Australian content creator. “And so I was genuinely just going to have a conversation before and then it just led to another. They straight up asked me if I was happy and I said ‘no.’”
During that conversation, Siwa said Ebbs asked if she was happy and Siwa told them she was not. “One thing led to another… and that conversation did take place there,” she said of the 20 days that felt “like four-and-a-half years,” noting that the first thing she wanted to do when she got out was “exactly what you need to do in your life to make it as good as you can.”
Sitting next to Hughes on a couch, Siwa said she is “very happy where I am now” and grateful for having Hughes in the house with her for “support and comfort.” Asked if her friendship with Hughes was a catalyst in the break up with Ebbs after the couple went public in January, Siwa, again putting her hand on Hughes’ shoulder said, “obviously we’re very close,” with Hughes adding that it’s “just a really strong bond between two people which is just a strong friendship.”
Hughes, 32, called their time together in the house “three weeks we’ll remember for the rest of our lives,” arguing that all gossip aside about the nature of their close ties in the house, he thinks you can genuinely have a “soulmate friendship.” Asked by the hosts if she’d like things to get romantic with “gorgeous boy” Hughes, Siwa doubled-down on her pal being a “great guy,” but agreed that it’s strictly platonic and that they have a lot of fun together, but that’s it.
“Life is life and I don’t know any future of anything,” she said. “But I’m really grateful for our dynamic that we have and our bond that we have.”

Wendy Williams the popular radio show host turned TV talk show queen is trying to regain her personal and financial freedom by ending a guardianship enacted over her.
Williams has been in court-ordered guardianship since 2022 and is currently living in an assisted care facility. However, in her new petition she told the judge that she has “regained capacity” to function without a guardian, per TMZ.
The gossip news site recently released a documentary about her called, “TMZ Presents: Saving Wendy.” It is currently streaming on Tubi.
Williams who had been incapacitated in the past and was diagnosed with Frontotemporal Dementia has signed an affidavit that she is, in fact, healthy. Her friend, TMZ founder Harvey Levin has stated that he believes Williams was misdiagnosed and has gotten healthier since becoming sober.
According to Fox4News, Levin interviewed his old friend from the street, where Williams claims she is locked in a room with no internet access. He said she is rarely allowed visitors and has only been outside twice in the past month.
“She rightly feels like a prisoner,” Levin said.
According to Levin, Williams, 60, is “back to her old self”, but her guardian refuses to release her.
Fans on social media, are reacting to the news and the documentary with outrage asking for the same support be offered Williams as was offered Britney Spears in her conservatorship battle.
The hashtag #FreeWendyWilliams is currently trending on X.
Sources have told PageSix that Williams is set to be reexamined by a medical doctor on February 18.

Looks like another reality TV romance has bitten the dust. Ashley Adionser and Tyler Francis, the Season 7 couple from Netflix’s hit series, Love is Blind, who once set our hearts aflutter, have decided to call it quits.
A little over a year after jumping the broom together on the show, the crowd-favorite coupe has parted ways, with Ashley issuing a statement confirming their decision to end their relationship, saying:
“After much reflection, I want to share that Tyler and I have been separated for several weeks and have now made the difficult decision to end our marriage,” Ashley said in a statement to People. “While I had hoped for mutual understanding and transparency in our relationship, it has become clear that our paths are no longer aligned, making it impossible for me to continue in this marriage.” She added that she knows that this decision is “necessary” for her own “growth and peace.”
While Ashley’s statement to People didn’t offer details, she concluded her message sharing that she “will value the time and love [they] shared.
“While this chapter is ending, I will always hold respect for the time and love we shared,” Ashley continued. “I kindly ask for privacy during this deeply personal time as I focus on healing and building a new future. Thank you for your understanding and support.”
The couple’s onscreen love story hit a bump when Tyler revealed that he had donated sperm to help a friend, fathering three children that he initially said he had no relationship with. Photos challenging his story, as well as claims from the mother of said children, later circulated online when the season aired. Tyler, who spoke about wanting to have kids multiple times in the show, was side-eyed by many viewers (some of whom began calling him Tyler the Procreator).
During the reunion, Tyler acknowledged that he had lied about not knowing what the children looked like and suggested that he had wanted to protect their privacy. Ashley also clarified that she knew about the situation before having an on-camera discussion, calling it “insulting” to her intelligence for people to “imply that she was blindsided.”
Tyler has yet to publicly comment on the split.

Clay Gravesande, one of the stars of the hit Netflix show Love Is Blind, is back in the public eye after introducing a new romance. The reality television star and former track athlete made things public with Celina Powell and fans on social media have thoughts.
On Tuesday (May 14), Celina Powell made things Instagram official with Clay Gravesande by sharing a video of the pair in a loving embrace, confirming at the very least the pair are together in some form or fashion.
This came as a shock to some observers, considering Gravesande was a contestant on the most recent season of Love Is Blind and made it to the end only to leave Amber “AD” Smith heartbroken at the altar.
Powell, who some might remember claimed Offset got her pregnant and even claimed she slept with Snoop Dogg four years ago, a claim that the veteran rapper debunked with some requisite vulgarity.
Fans of Love Is Blind will also recall that Gravesande’s parents spoke to him earnestly about his father’s failures as a husband and how he mistreated his spouse as something of a cautionary warning. In all, it seemed like Gravesande led Smith along while talking a good game.
Further, some fans noticed that Gravesande was spotted in photos with adult performer Willow Ryde, but it isn’t clear what the timeline is nor has Ryder confirmed or denied linking with Gravesande. However, Ryder did share an X reply from a fan praising her, ahem, “game tape” alongside images of her with Gravesande that were sexually suggestive.
Gravesande’s mother also joined the chorus of those online who do not approve of his actions with a scathing Instagram Stories post we’ve shared in the gallery of replies below.
As it stands. Clay Gravesande is getting a classic Black Xitter dragging for popping out with Celina Powell. Check out the replies from X below.
