They had the assault on video, Thundercunt. There wasn't a reason to interview you or the other swamp creature. They also know both of you and are aware of the fact that every word out of both you and your sack of shit huzzbin's mouth are lies.
A question for any of our folks here that may know the law in NC. Isn't child abuse considered a form of domestic violence? If so and he's convicted, could it mean he has to get rid of his arsenal?
Barb and Jenelle go back to court today for a check in with the judge and CPS. I wonder if Kaiser and Ensley have been interviewed yet?
Did anyone else see this? UBT has been texting his ex (Maryssa's mom) and whining about how much he misses her and dreams about her.
ETA: Now there is a warrant out for UBT's arrest on the child abuse charges.

I'm okay with Bishme winning, but I really wanted it to be Laurence.
I wish they would auf Elaine and have Zac take her place?

Shoutout to everyone mentioning the ridiculous, unprofessional drooling over the male models and the fact that there were no plus-size men on the runway.
I think Rami’s would’ve been way more striking in a vibrant color and/or with a color gradation in the diagonal panels to give a subtle ombre effect.
This is exactly what I thought. A gradation of color would have been stunning. I give Rami a lot of credit because the fabrics he chooses are really hard to work with. I've not sewn a whole lot of silk, but the bit I have makes me appreciate folks that make it look easy. Sewing silk chiffon is like sewing air that frays.

I was getting a really well dressed pimp. I think it was the hat.
The Mask is a better description.
I liked it though sans hat.
The hat totally made it 1970's pimp.

I remember Korto being pretty sour on her season, too. Every now and then she'd say something nice to another designer or be funny. But, most of the time she acted like she was either pissed off or didn't want to be there.
So happy Hester is gone! Her runway outfit looked like a gag gift you'd give someone at a bridal shower.

I definitely would have picked Anna over Viktor for the auf.
The most surprising result to me, though, was that the judges like Kara Saun's dress. All I could see was a Standard Poodle who'd just come back from the groomer.
Thank you! It's nice to know I'm not the only one that saw poodle. I was surprised Christian didn't try to steer them away from that mess.

This is interesting! I had no idea. You have a lot of information I haven’t heard elsewhere.
I can’t believe that house was $10K a month. I remember it as being pretty basic in terms of movie star homes.
The Guess ads made her up to look Marilynesque, but I never really bought it.
It really was a modest little house, it's referred to as a bungalow. The price of CA real estate and the Marilyn connection was the reason for the price, I'm sure.
I was never what you'd call a fan of Anna Nicole Smith. When she started modeling for Guess, I thought it was cool that they chose a woman with curves to represent their brand because, at that time, models were all stick thin and having actual feminine curves was never seen in advertising. I paid attention to the trial when she was trying to get a chunk of Marshall's fortune and I'd watched a couple episodes of the reality show because of the trainwreck factor and was completely creeped out by Howard.
I hadn't thought of her in years, then Daniel died and Howard did an interview on Larry King claiming to be the baby's father. The whole thing was so weird, I started paying attention to it and then she died. I fell into a very deep rabbit hole and followed the bizarre story until Howard and all of the others were finished with the court cases that were related to illegally procuring the mountains of drugs that were sent to the Bahamas and were found in the hotel room when she died. Howard carried around a fucking duffle bag full of drugs wherever they went! There were so many twists and turns and once I fell in, I couldn't stop until it was over😂

One thing that’s always bothered me is the comparison between Ana Nicole Smith and Marilyn Monroe. I don’t think Ana was in the same league as Marilyn, not in looks, talent or stardom. The only similarities I see are they both had drug problems and bleached blonde hair.
Anna was obsessed with Marilyn Monroe, had been since she was a kid. When she was in CA working for Guess, she actually lived in the house that Marilyn died in. She found out it was available and begged J Howard Marshall to pay the $10k a month rent so she could live there and the old fool did. After he died, she stopped paying the rent was wound up getting evicted. She was partying a lot and I guess would wake the neighbors up in the middle of the night ranting and raving that she saw Marilyn's ghost wandering around the house. The neighbors were really happy when she finally got the boot because of the constant partying.

Methadone is prescribed to pregnant drug addicts. Dr could have been trying to help her. But from what I’ve seen & experienced about drs., it would be rare that one would go out of his way to help a patient that left him. They don’t care that much.
She'd been taking methadone for years and was on a really high dose. Her original doctor retired and Dr Kapoor inherited her as a patient, so he just went along with what the first doctor had been prescribing, which included high doses of valium and soma. When she got pregnant, he wanted her to gradually taper down her dose of methadone and stop with all the other stuff, but she refused. She finally agreed to be admitted to the hospital for a medically supervised detox and Larry stayed with her. She only stayed for a few days and called Howard to bring her her dope. He showed up, Larry tried to intervene and she checked out of the hospital against medical advice. That's when she ran away to the Bahamas and her old neighbor who was a psychiatrist started prescribing her meds and sending them to her. The prescriptions were mostly filled at Ralph's pharmacy in LA and were in several different names, including Howard and Bonnie.
When she died, the most glaring thing was that there was no methadone in her system. Larry's lawyer had been after her to take a drug test and make the baby available for a DNA test and she'd been dodging the lawyer's demands. It had finally reached a point of her being court ordered and she couldn't dodge it anymore without being held in contempt of court. It can never be proven, but the 'flu' she was being treated for when she was in Florida was most likely methadone withdrawal so she could pass a drug test while she was in the US. She left her infant daughter in the Bahamas with her housekeeper because she knew there was a possibility of Larry being granted partial custody if the baby was in the US and DNA proved Larry was the father.
Rita Cosby wrote a book called Blonde Ambition that really goes into detail of what was going on during the period leading up to her death and what happened afterward. It's definitely worth a read if anyone is interested.

One of the saddest things about this documentary to me was how Anna spoke about her mother. She made up a horrible story about being abused by her mother, when people who knew Anna well said her mother was loving and kind. The part where the mother is describing the conversation she had with Anna about the stories and how Anna said she made more money if the story was bad… wow. She didn’t even consider how much was hurting her mother and her family.
I’ve never understood Daniel’s death. When I heard it was methadone combined with two anti-depressants, I assumed he had a problem with drugs or was recovering from drug addiction. Why else would someone take methadone? (My sister was on it for years trying to get off opiods.) But after reading lovesnark’s post I’m wondering about the rest of the story. It’s tragic how he died.
I remember when the newly slim (Trimspa) Anna was on that award show. She was higher than a kite. It got a lot of press. It’s yet another sad story of a celebrity being supplied with multiple addictive drugs by doctors who have no ethics. I don’t know what was going on with her and Howard K. Stern, but he looks like a big-time enabler at the very least.
I also recall what a train wreck her reality show was and how much damage it did to her reputation. It was a poor decision on her part. It reminds me of Whitney Houston’s documentary with Bobby Brown, which was also not well received.
Another part of this that made me sad was watching Anna and Howard Marshall, especially when he was calling her and she wasn’t answered. I felt sorry for this elderly man. In his wheelchair looking so frail, he reminded me of my dear father who passed away in 2021. I know it was just a snippet and for a long time he was a powerful man, but in that moment I sensed she was taking advantage of an old man in the last moments of his life. It just got to me.
I wish they had explained more about her relationship with Larry Birkhead. I don’t have a clear understanding of how they got together, how long they were together or what happened to cause such a rift.
Interestingly some of the reviews, including ones from Primetimer, don’t like this documentary and think it is too hard on Anna and deprived her of having a voice. Perhaps that is true, because I had a hard time sympathizing with her.
Larry was a photographer from Louisville and met her at the Kentucky Derby. They saw each other off and on and he wound up moving in with her in CA. He had a problem with her addiction and Howard K Stern being there 24/7 and doing everything possible to facilitate her addiction. In interviews, Larry said Howard would lurk outside their bedroom and listen to them, totally creepy. Larry saw that Howard was a leech that was completely obsessed with Anna and knew that if Anna could get sober, she'd realize what a piece of shit he was and kick him to the curb.
After she got pregnant, Larry did everything he could to help her get clean, but Howard did everything he could to keep her high. She was in the hospital for a medically supervised detox and after a couple days, decided she couldn't take it, so Howard brought her dope to the hospital and she checked out against medical advice. That's when she ran away to the Bahamas. She believed Larry would leave her alone and she believed the Bahamian law of whoever signs the birth certificate is the legal father would keep him from having any legal claim to his kid. Larry wouldn't let it go and was able to score excellent legal representation and he kept fighting. Ultimately, DNA proved he was the father and he was able to get his daughter away from Howard.

Wow! I'm not quite finished watching this, but I have to say whoever put it together didn't put much research into it. It's like they interviewed some of Anna's sycophants and took their word as gospel.
None of them mentioned why she ran away from Larry Birkhead when she was pregnant. It wasn't because she hated him, he was living with her and they were making plans for their life with the baby. Larry wanted her to get clean. He stayed with her when she was in the hospital detoxing from the enormous amount of methadone she'd been taking for years. When she decided she'd had enough, Howard Stern brought her dope to the hospital, she checked out against medical advice and ran away to the Bahamas. She believed Larry would leave her alone and the Bahamian law that whoever signed the birth certificate was the legal father would be enough to keep him away. But, Larry wouldn't let it go and a really good attorney represented him pro bono to help him fight for his kid. He knew how bad her addiction was and how Howard did everything he could to keep her high and he didn't want his baby stuck with them.
The people saying how horrible Anna's mother was and how much she hated her are also not based on facts. All of the years Anna was working at the strip club, her son lived with her mother. When she went to California to work for Playboy and Guess, Daniel lived with her mother. Daniel didn't live with her until she moved to California after J Howard Marshall died and she got the show with MTV. If her mother was such a monster, why did she leave her son with her for years? No one in their family backed up her claims of her mother abusing her and her friend has said that the stories she would tell people were actually what the friend confided in Anna of what happened to her as a child.
Daniel was not a drug addict. When the guy said Daniel was high on his mother's methadone and wanted to do some cocaine, I really got pissed. There is absolutely no evidence that Daniel was a drug user and he hated what drugs did to his mother. He was known to be very anti drug. No one will ever know for sure what happened to Daniel, but what makes sense and what has been theorized is that he accidentally drank his mother's soda at the hospital. It was well known that Anna took liquid methadone and mixed it in whatever she was drinking. She had an extremely high tolerance and her normal dose would have been enough to kill anyone with no tolerance. Daniel had a huge amount of methadone in his system and methadone intoxication was his cause of death.
J Howard Marshall gave her millions of dollars while they were together and believed with the homes and jewelry that she'd be able to be financially fine when he died. He specifically said she wasn't to get anything more than he'd given her. But, she squandered it on drugs and a lavish lifestyle and that's when she sued his son. None of the lawyers that worked on that case for years and years ever got paid. Howard Stern was not the main attorney on the case, it was a large firm that started it long before he was ever in the picture. Howard is now working as a public defender in California.
On a totally snarky note, Bonnie Stern has had some major cosmetic work done. If you can find pictures of her during the time around Anna and Daniel's deaths, she looks like Howard's twin, only with big hair. If they hadn't said she was Bonnie in this show, I would have never known who she was. She has a completely different face!

This was the most disturbing video I have seen on OPL and there have been a lot of disturbing videos.
So much to unpack about how this child was neglected:
Wearing only a diaper in very cold weather
Dad sleeping and totally unaware the child was not in apartment
Waving a loaded gun around
Father was a lying sack of shit as lovesnark outlined above. Even said he had no relatives in the area but his mother lived in same complex.
Disappointed in how the police originally handled the situation. After they found the gun they seemed way too nice. I don't know the laws there but the first search was not thorough at all. Thank God for the neighbors video.
I agree they were way to nice the first time they went in. But, they did as much as they could from a legal standpoint as far as taking his word that there was no gun in the house. On my second watch, I noticed one officer did say as they were leaving the first time that DCF would be contacted about the kid being outside while the parent slept. Once they had the video, I suspect they acted the way they did because they were hoping he'd incriminate himself (and he did) and they were also waiting to hear back from the prosecutor's office to determine how to handle it. I'm also sure they didn't want to escalate the situation because they didn't know if he had other weapons stashed in the apartment.

I'm watching it again, this time with the captions on. The first time they went into the apartment, the female officer tells him he needs to do a better job locking his door as they're leaving. I made sure to look at the desk and the top was rolled up. After the neighbor shows them the video and they go back, the top was rolled down on the desk and the lying shitstain of a father doubled down on saying that there was no gun in the house five minutes after he'd put it in the desk and closed the top. When the officers tell him they have video of the child waving the gun around, he first says his cousin stays there sometimes and he has a gun, then his story changes to its his brother that stays there sometimes and has a handgun, but he's not comfortable going through someone else's things. The officers tell him they don't care about that and that they'll stay until they find it. When two officers are outside the apartment talking, they both say they believe its his gun and he's lying to them.
I really hope having all of this on video can be used to nail him to the wall.
ETA - Captions were so helpful here! When the officer is talking to his mother in the parking lot, she says that this is the best he's been doing since his felonies and he finally had a job and got his first apartment all by himself. As a rule, felons can't be in possession of firearms, so there's another charge to add on!

On Saturday's show, just now, in Beech Grove, there was a toddler wandering around with the pistol. Thank heavens for video cameras, because the parents said they don't have a gun. The neighbor's video showed the little kid with a pistol. Apparently it belongs to a family member. The police found it, I don't know if it had one in the chamber, but it had a loaded clip in it.
The replay of the kid with the gun on video is chilling. The kid's so-called mother just showed up, and when the officer told her about the gun and her kid, she didn't seem all that interested. I hope with the national attention that the CPS people do something.
I didn't see the mom, just saw the grandma (the asshole father's mom) making excuses for him. That baby was totally unsupervised while his piece of shit father slept, the guy didn't even wake up until there were two officers in his apartment. Then, claimed he didn't have a gun, there was no gun in the apartment and said some 'friend' of his had a gun that he brought over before. Amazingly, the gun was neatly put in the desk and the desktop was pulled down when they came back after watching the video. If that woman didn't share her ring doorbell footage, they would have never gone back in there and found the gun. The video footage chilled me to my core. I hope they update as the weeks progress and that he's never allowed to be responsible for that baby's safety again.

Thanks, Kimaken, I'll just have to go back to S1 and see if there are any references to their marriage (other than how much he obviously loved her and swallowed his grief).
Sandy was on a case that involved someone he knew and there was some questionable behavior that Tosh caught on to and insisted that Sandy tell Jimmy before he found out himself. It hung in the air like a very heavy anvil (speculating talk of Sandy leaving at the time), so yeah, I guess it got dropped during hiatus. Or after Doug announced he was leaving. LOL.
Sandy did get suspended after a prisoner committed suicide in their cell when he was in charge. I don't remember exactly what happened, but he was negligent. He also leaked crime scenes photos in the Lizzie Kilmuir murder to help Kate try to get Donna moved off of Shetland when she was released to die on the island. He was going to tell Jimmy, but that's when everything happened with Duncan after Donna died and Tosh told him to keep quiet for now.

Wouldn’t a car dealership make you show a license before driving a car off the lot? Not to mention the test drive?
I wondered the same thing. I think he had one of the people he's not supposed to be hanging with take him to the car lot and be the licensed driver. I predict he'll be back in jail within a week because he'll get pulled over. No license and no insurance is a violation. *Edited to add* Not just not having a valid license, his is revoked/suspended. That's enough to violate him and, depending on the state and his PO, send him to jail for a while.

I keep wondering if Anna showed up at Seagoville thinking she would be allowed to see FF and tried the 'do you know who I am', 'surely you'll make an exception for me' crap and wound up having a little tantrum when told she has to follow the rules just like every other family member of an inmate. Every time I think about it, it makes me smile.

I went to a baby shower and my daughter and I chatted afterwards that it was a gift grab. In lieu of a card we were supposed to bring books instead. Then we were asked to bring a box of disposable diapers to build the diaper pyramid with. (I did get a chuckle of that thinking of Jessa’s mountain of diapers, but wasn’t going to share my Duggar family viewing secrets 😂) Then she had a registry of gifts at a nearby store. Some gifts were not cheap and if you were late to get there (as I was) you’d have to go off the list and find another nice item to bring. Then there’s the “Fill the College Fund Piggy Bank” for cash grabs. The whole shabang cost me a pretty penny. If this is what they have turned into, then that will be the last shower I ever plan to go to.
When I had my daughter I didn’t have one. I was horribly undersupplied. As I spent weeks in the hospital after having her (not one person in mine or my husband’s family visited due to being out of state) the nurse felt so sorry for me, so she bought a cute dress for my baby. I have never forgotten her kind gesture. It was the only gift I got except some onesies from my dear friend who knew I needed practical stuff. She slept in a drawer lined with a quilt. Things like that would never do these days.
I went to one similar to the one you went to. Except, it wasn't a 'College Fund Piggy Bank, it was a 'Help Her Pay the 10% Her Insurance Doesn't Cover' piggy bank. They also played a 'game' where you had a choice to sing a song on the playlist of music of the day or put $20 in a jar. I shouldn't have been surprised because this is the same woman who had a Honeymoon Fund jar at her wedding along with a tacky money dance. She also asked me to do all the flowers for the wedding for free. I said no.
I don't have a problem with Jill's friends and family having a shower for her and it looks like they all had fun. She's had a lot going on this year and with just moving into a new house while trying to get ready to have another kid, she probably really appreciated it.

I seriously doubt Anna has been able to visit. He'll have to go through orientation, then submit his visitor and phone lists for approval. It takes time for all that to happen.

Even Josh wouldn't know. There is tight, tight security around inmates moving for obvious reason. That's why he was moved at 4am on 24th June, so the inmate just gets woken early and told to pack his stuff. He wouldn't know where he was going till he got there.
Anna's Road trip post was at 8.30ish the morning of the 23rd, the day before.
I don't think the two are connected. Even in the very, very unlikely case that Anna was tipped off by a corrupt officer, it would make no sense that she'd set off almost 24 hrs before Josh was transferred.
Also, the corrections officers don't know when inmates are going to be moved until it happens. It's all done this way to keep everyone safe and lessen the chance of a hijack situation.

how do you do them Scandinavian? to last instead of poly ??
It's a three step finish process they apply to the sanded and filled floor. I don't know what it is, but the fumes are bad while it's going on so you have to bug out for three days while it's being applied. It's really durable, though. There are low traffic areas in my house that still look new after 31 years.

Go into Home Depot right now and look at the the tile for sale. Backsplash section -- 95% white/gray, small section of beige/brown, tiny section of blue tones. Bathroom section -- 99% white/gray. Jessa didn't have much choice in making the kitchen colorless!
She sounds like she spends lots of time on Pinterest. Maybe she's learned that unless you're someone who is going to change/remodel components like floors, counters, etc often, it's a good idea to go neutral and add color with things you can change out easily. When we built our house, I picked tile that I grew to hate fairly early on because of the color. I had a blast with the pry bar tearing it out when we started on the bathroom remodel😂

When I saw Ivy roller skating across the hardwood pushing a stroller, I wondered why Jessa was even bothering to finish the floors at all. A month or two of kids skating on it, and her floors will be finished, all right. Of course, Jessa grew up in the TTH where the kids ran wild and destroyed as they went, so maybe she doesn't know any better. But she should.
If they'd have Swedish finish put on the floors, they'd last a long time, even with the kids skating on them. We built our house 31 years ago and the original hardwood still looks pretty great. And, that's after 31 years of living on a farm while raising two kids, lots of dogs and cats and assorted other critters. Now that I've had hardwood put in the bedroom, I'm going to have the original hardwood refinished this summer. The only bummer is you have to move out for three days because it's toxic while they're putting it on. I packed up my dog and spoiled 10 year old house cat and went to my best friend's house while they finished the new bedroom floor.
Polyurethane just isn't durable enough, even with several coats. Oak flooring isn't cheap, either. They've already spend a bunch on materials, they really should have it finished to last. But, she's a Duggar. Go cheap and save the difference!

I have never watched a Jessa video before, so thanks for posting it. The only thing I could think of when she was showing everything is how she's making a mistake with the finish on all the oak floors. With as much traffic as those floors are going to see, she needs to have Swedish finish done. Her plan of staining, then covering with polyurethane isn't going to be very durable. The poly will wear off quickly in high traffic areas and then she's going to have bare wood getting damaged. I wonder if they're doing the finish themselves to save money? Or, they don't know what they're doing? Probably a little of both. They should have done Luxury Vinyl Plank. It's beautiful and extremely durable, especially when you have a small litter of kids tearing around on skates. That hardwood is going to be trashed in no time.

Watching last night's episode once again drove home how I would have never been able to do this job.
The woman who wrecked her car with her child in the back seat. Neither she or her child was wearing a seatbelt, the officer had to tell her twice to get off her phone and then comfort her child when he asked if mommy crashed. Her blood alcohol was .24. The restraint shown by the officers was so commendable. That poor kid. I hope he has someone in his life that's a responsible human being to look out for him.
