Olivia Plath: I’m Done with My Ex’s Awful Reality Show!

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Olivia Plath is outta here, folks.

On Tuesday evening, hours before the season finale of Welcome to Plathville, the long-time cast member said she will NOT appear on future episodes of the TLC reality show.

She confirmed as much about two years after divorcing from husband Ethan Plath.

(TLC)

"This episode was filmed a while ago," the 27-year old explained via her Instagram Story on September 30. "And since then, I've worked hard to get out of my contract — and succeeded!"

Olivia had played a vital role on Welcome to Plathville since its debut in 2019.

She has remained critical of her ex-spouse's family from Day One, criticizing Ethan's parents for their conservative and controlling ways… even recently alleging that she was groomed to marry their son.

"When I look back at the last 7(!) years of my life on this show, I feel so many emotions. In many ways, I grew up with all of you watching and supporting me," Olivia added, alongside an image of herself. "I was a sheltered, newly married, fundie kid when the show started and had no clue who I was."

Moving on to whatever is next, Plath continued:

"The last 7 years have had their respective challenges and there were definitely moments I didn't think I'd see the other side, but I'm here to prove myself wrong.

"This chapter closing brings some sadness — it is sad for me to see who I once knew, what they had the potential to become and the path they chose instead. It could have been so different. And if it had been different, I wouldn't be where l am today."

Olivia then told fans that she was "grateful for this journey and all that it taught me," adding:

"I have not only endeavored to distance myself from hate, bullying, but also reported harmful behavior, and tried to stand up for what is right. It sickens me to see violence, hatred, and dysfunction presented as entertainment."

Indeed, Plath previously accused Ethan of domestic abuse.

(Instagram)

Olivia has said plenty already, she lobbed a bunch of accusations at her former in-laws.

But she told followers yesterday that she signed a non-disclosure agreement and is unable to delve into many details.

Back in May, though, Plath said on Instagram that she "asked to be released" from her contract and was waiting for a reply.

She also wrote in March that her split from Ethan was "the best decision for me" and that she was "figuring out" the restrictions of this alleged NDA and "still unpacking and finding terminology for what I experienced" to share with the public.

Olivia also claimed this spring that Ethan threatened to "shoot" her friends who "he thought were influencing me to be more liberal" and would "spit on [her] face" and "back me into corners" during arguments.

Ethan and Olivia Plath have ended their marriage. (TLC)

Last year, Olivia trashed Ethan as a bad lover. She hasn't been shy is throwing shade in his direction.

On this week's season premiere of Welcome to Plathville, Ethan and Olivia sat down together for the first time in a year and a half, as they got into the final stages of their relationship.

During the conversation, Ethan asked Olivia to "please stop slandering" his family, while Olivia told him that her "talking about my life and my experiences is not slander."

Now that she's off the show? We somehow doubt this is gonna stop any time soon.

Nicke Kidman-Keith Urban Divorce Details Revealed: Nicole Wants the Kids 10 Months Out of …

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Few celebrity breakups have been as shocking as the Nicole Kidman-Keith Urban split.

It's not just that the beloved stars are unexpectedly calling it quits after 19 years of marriage; it's also the messy fashion in which this is all playing out.

Insiders say Urban already has a girlfriend, and based on Nicole's divorce filing, this is not an amicable breakup!

Nicole Kidman files for divorce, demands primary custody of children

Yes, according to a new report from TMZ, Nicole has already filed to legally end the marriage, and she's made some shocking demands in her Marital Dissolution Agreement.

Under the arrangement proposed by Nicole, the exes' two daughters will spend 306 days of the year with her and just 59 days with Keith.

Yes, Nicole has clearly given this a lot of thought, and she couldn't be more precise in her demands.

She gave the vague "irreconcilable differences" reason for the divorce (a favorite among celebs who wish to retain a shred of privacy), and she's stated that she intends to remain the "primary residential parent of the minor children."

All major decisions involving their kids — including those pertaining to education and healthcare — will be made jointly, and Keith and Nicole have agreed to take co-parenting lessons to help them navigate the transition ahead.

Neither party is requesting spousal support or child support, but there is a clause stating that Keith has prepaid "child support obligations."

Nicole comes out on top

In short, Nicole appears to have the upper hand, and it sounds like she and Keith have been hammering out terms for quite some time, possibly since they first separated back in June.

But interestingly, sources tell TMZ that Nicole filed abruptly with no advance warning to Keith.

It's possible that she decided to pull the trigger now that the cat is out of the bag.

Or maybe she's just furious over the fact that he's already dating someone new.

According to TMZ, "sources connected to Kidman say that "all the signs point to the fact Keith is with another woman. Let's just say, Nicole doesn't dispute that, but she's still shocked over it."

There's no indication that Keith started dating the new woman while he was still involved with Nicole, but the speed with which he's moved on must have come as a shock after 19 years of marriage.

Here's hoping these two can manage to keep things at least semi-civil for the sake of their kids.

Erika Kirk: ‘Witch’ Who ‘Cursed’ Charlie Kirk Ahead of Shooting …

Reading Time: 3 minutes

One of the more bizarre stories to emerge from the murder of Charlien Kirk had to do with a media stunt that turned out to be very poorly timed.

Just days before the shooting, the news and culture site Jezebel ran a humor piece in which the author described the process of paying a witch from Etsy to put a curse on Kirk.

No actual harm was intended by the writer, who appears to hold the standard belief that witchcraft is not "real" in any material sense.

But it seems that one of the witches involved feels responsible for causing undue "distress."

Priestess Lilin issues apology to Erika Kirk

One of the supernatural practitioners who was contacted for the "We Paid Some Etsy Witches to Curse Charlie Kirk" article has spoken with the Daily Mail and asked for a "private conversation" with Charlie's widow, Erika Kirk.

"We regret any distress experienced. What we do is done based on an impartial perspective and at a professional level," the witch, who goes by the name Priestess Lilin, told the outlet.

"We respect the widow's feelings and welcome a private conversation to address her concerns," she added.

According to the priestess, the curse was spiritual in nature and was never intended to cause any physical harm.

"Our spells are spiritual in nature and we do not perform actions that are intended to cause physical harm," she explained.

The debate over Charlie Kirk's legacy continues

Charlie Kirk's rhetoric made him a divisive figure in life, as many recognized his most inflammatory content as the sort of speech that has historically led to violence.

He's remained divisive in death, with rightwing politicians declaring him a free speech martyr, and figures on the Left pointing out that Kirk was a professional provocateur and a gun rights absolutist who believed that deadly force is a necessary evil in America.

It's important to note that no sane person on either end of the political spectrum is celebrating Kirk's death, and obviously, Priestess Lilin wants to make clear that she never wished violence on anyone.

As the discourse regarding Kirk's life and legacy continues, it would be beneficial for both sides to bear in mind that his belief in the importance of free speech was one of Charlie's most deeply held principles.

In other words, he probably wouldn't be a fan of comedians being canceled in his name or anyone receiving death threats because of their words.

As we enter the final months of 2025, hopefully, the nation can come together on core beliefs such as: no one should be killed for their words, and no one's words should encourage violence.

Amber Portwood Boasts She ‘Paved Way’ for ‘Teen Mom’ in Latest …

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Amber Portwood wants recognition for paving the way for the Teen Mom franchise.

The former reality TV villain has turned to some of the worst social media apps for attention after walking away from the MTV series.

She seems to be fond of presenting herself as a perpetual victim while simultaneously extolling her own praises, even when her account of things doesn't seem to match reality.

Now, she's taking credit for the Teen Mom franchise, at least in part. She's also, despite everything, saying that she has no regrets.

Speaking energetically into her phone, Amber Portwood expresses herself. (Image Credit: MTV)

Amber Portwood will always be her own #1 fan

As is too often her habit, Amber Portwood spent an alarming amount of time on TikTok over this past weekend.

(If there is anyone remaining in her life who loves and cares about her, they should encourage her to stop)

As you can see in the clip below, she went on TikTok Live to directly, well, fight with commenters.

While clutching an eye-catching cup, Amber Portwood wishes that she had been able to access the same basic healthcare that her teen daughter now can. (Image Credit: MTV)

Amber at one point insisted that social media followings do not impress her.

She turned around and boasted that she accrued more than "5 million" just from being on Teen Mom.

Amber then bragged that she "paved the way" for that show to exist.

It's unclear if she's trying to say that she helped put it on the map or something else.

She has 'paved the way' and also 'made waves'

"That's hard! You don't know what hard is," Amber Portwood seemed to yell at a TikTok commenter.

"Don't come for somebody who's already paved the way and made waves!" she shouted.

"Began it and ended s–t."

Amber ranted, insisting: "Don't come at that person out of anybody, don't come at that person!"

Despite her many flaws, Amber Portwood does sometimes make a solid point. And she's doing just that during this confessional moment from Teen Mom: The Next Chapter. (Image Credit: MTV)

"I promise you, they're going to know more people, know more than you, be more wise about things," Amber boldly insisted.

"And," she insisted, "have way more experiences than you could ever understand!"

Amber declared, this time not inaccurately: "It's another beast to be in the entertainment industry for 20 f–king years than here on TikTok."

Wearing a bold pair of glasses and a striped top, Amber Portwood recalls the well-deserved rejection that she received from her daughter for years. (Image Credit: MTV)

NO regrets? Really?

Still riding some sort of emotional high, Amber Portwood sang her own praises and insists that she regrets nothing. Not even her own regrettable actions.

"Everything that I went through, no, I do not have any regrets," she proclaimed.

"Why? Because of the people I helped."

She rambled: "Done. Like, it's just done. I'm gonna keep doing what I'm doing, which is a beautiful thing today."

Obviously, a string of nonsensical statements full of self-aggrandizement sounds a lot like a mental health episode.

This is not the first time that she has sounded delusional.

But though Amber is very openly mentally ill, we should be careful to acknowledge that this might just be Amber talking.

You don't need a mental health crisis or a manic phase to rewrite history. Or to snap at your own alleged "fans."

Keith Urban Girlfriend? Singer Already Dating in Wake of Nicole Kidman Divorce

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Keith Urban has allegedly moved on from Nicole Kidman.

Yes, already.

Just hours after we first learned that Kidman and Urban were splitting up after 19 years of marriage (the actress officially filed for divorce on September 30), TMZ is reporting that the singer has found a girlfriend.

The website would like to make one thing clear, however…

It's unclear whether Urban was involved with this individual while actively working on his marriage to Kidman; they could very well have hooked after the pair separated.

This is possible because E! News previously quoted an insider who said Urban and Kidman had been living apart "since the beginning of summer."

In the case of this mysterious new girlfriend, TMZ simply writes that "sources connected to Kidman say "all the signs point to the fact Keith is with another woman. Let's just say, Nicole doesn't dispute that, but she's still shocked over it."

Well, sure.

The celebrities had been married since 2006 and share two kids.

Based on what we've been able to gather thus far, Kidman fought hard to try and save her relationship.

However, TMZ reports that Urban has rented his own home in Nashville and has shown no signs of wanting a reconciliation.

"Nicole's sister [Antonia] has been a rock and the entire Kidman family has come together to support one another," a source told People Magazine on Tuesday.

Kidman and Urban didn't talk too often about their romance with the press, but the former said just last year that she was "so lucky that I have Keith who's just my love, my deep, deep love" when sitting down with People.

News of their split came months after Kidman attended the Met Gala by herself in May.

She and Urban were last spotted out in public at the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 game in Nashville on June 20, an outing that came just five days before their 19th wedding anniversary.

"Happy Anniversary Baby ❤️ @KeithUrban," the veteran star captioned a photo of her snuggling up with Urban as he held a guitar.

We wish both halves of this now-former couple nothing but the best moving forward.

This summer, she revealed that she and husband John David Duggar are expecting Baby #3.

Abby just shared that she has reached the halfway point.

She is also revealing an agonizing health complication that she has quietly faced for months.

Counting On alum Abbie Burnett Duggar has a two-part update on her pregnancy.

Taking to Instagram, she shared a pair of photos.

Both maternity snaps showcased her baby bump on the beach while she wore a fuchsia gown.

A post shared by John and Abbie (@johnandabbie)

"A little over half way!" Abbie wrote in the post's caption.

"We had a pretty rough go of it the first half," she acknowledged.

"And I am so thankful to be feeling much more like myself again!"

Abbie concluded her caption with a declaration and two tags:

"God is good! #pregnant #hyperemesis."

That final tag is garnering a lot of attention as fans and followers digest this Abbie Duggar pregnancy update.

Hyperemesis gravidarum is a condition that can take place during pregnancy.

The pregnant individual experiences severe nausea and vomiting.

No more than three percent of all pregnancies have symptoms like this.

Some may recall that Kate Middleton's pregnancies became easy to predict due to her hospitalizations ahead of pregnancy announcements.

She, too, suffers hyperemesis gravidarium. And yes, it really is that bad.

It sounds like Abbie's symptoms have abated, as she is "feeling much more like" herself.

That is good to hear!

John David and Abbie Duggar already share 5-year-old Grace Duggar and 2-year-old Charlie Duggar.

This is not her first round with hyperemesis, either.

Abbie previously battled with symptoms, so that even critics pitied her.

Some speculated that Grace might end up being the couple's only child as a result.
