The alleged reality TV show curse claims another couple. Real Housewives of Potomac cast-member Mia Thornton announces her separation from husband Gordon Thornton. Many of our reality’s favorite stars have called it quits after appearing on television. From Monique Samuels, Chris Samuels, Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann, Eva Marcille and Michael Sterling, Drew Sidora and Ralph Pittman, Cynthia Bailey and Mike Hill, Ashley Darby and Michael Darby, Kenya Moore and Marc Daly, Phaedra Parks and Apollo Nida, Lisa Wu and Ed Hartwell have all called it quits.

Now Mia Thornton and husband Gordon Thornton have separated after 11 years of marriage.

People reports:

“Like all marriages, ours has had its ups and downs,” says The Real Housewives of Potomac star, 38. “At this time, Gordon and I are separated, but my family is my number one priority, and I am committed to doing whatever it takes to make sure we are okay.” “We ask that you respect our privacy and give us the time and space to figure things out,” she adds.

Mia and Gordon, 70, have been married since March 2012 and share son Jeremiah Carter, 8, and daughter Juliana, 6. Additionally, they each have one child from their previous relationships.

The couple’s marital woes are expected to play out season 8 of RHOP, which premieres Nov. 5 on Bravo. PEOPLE exclusively premiered the trailer that hinted at trouble between them, with Mia admitting that she once “obtained a divorce lawyer” during a difficult point in their relationship.

Tamar Braxton’s Fiance JR Robinson Reveals He Broke Off Their Engagement

tamar

Last month Tamar Braxton announced she was leaving Atlanta after her car was robbed stating that she felt unsafe everywhere. Fand wondered where was her new fiance as he was nowhere to be found. Now Tamar’s fiance JR Robinson has announced they have gone separate ways. Posting to his Instagram account, JR confirmed that he and the singer/TV star “are no longer together” after much speculation.

“So many questions. So many assumptions. I want to answer all that I can with respect. Yes. Tamar and I are no longer together,” JR wrote on Instagram Story on Monday, October 2. “I ended the relationship to focus on getting back to positive energy & being a better person.”

JR later stressed that there’s no infidelity, noting, “What happened and why – that’s our private place. No, I never cheated. No, I wasn’t there when she was at her mothers place when her car was burglarized. No, I never cared about fame. Who reveals their most embarrassing moments in their life to find fame.”

He continued, “I have always represented famous people and the truth is I was in an amazing place financially and mentally. I turned down QueensCourt several times before I gave in. Ultimately, I fell in love and it didn’t end how I wanted it.”
Concluding his post, the attorney wrote, “So, I want to heal. Tamar and I will always be friends and family for life. Thank you for respecting our privacy.” Tamar, meanwhile, has yet to comment on their split.

Tamar and JR got engaged on the “Queens Court” finale which aired in March. “I knew I was different than my siblings,” the 45-year-old singer told JR at the time. “I prayed for somebody to understand me and not look at me and my flaws and just accept me for who I am. And then I met you. And then I saw every single that I ever prayed for as a child.”

“I thought that I just needed love. I didn’t. I needed a friend. And you’ve been that for me,” the “Celebrity Big Brother” season 2 winner explained. In response to that, JR said, “I’m not only willing, I’m ready. So much so that I don’t want to be your friend. I don’t want to be your friend. I want to be your husband.”

He later got on one knee before asking, “Tamar, I’m here forever because I don’t see my life without you. I love you, Tamar. Tamar, will you marry me?” Tamar said yes while getting emotional.

Thoughts?

Oprah Denies Taking Ozempic to Lose Weight: ‘That’s the Easy Way Out’

Screen Shot 2023 09 22 at 9.37.12 AM

Oprah Winfrey recently denied reports that she’s taking popular Ozempic injections to lose weight. Fand noticed the mogul recently dropped a lot of weight and wondered if Oprah gave in to the current weight loss trend.

In a recent discussion about obesity during her “The State of Weight” panel, Oprah shared that she thought about taking Ozempic, which is prescribed for people with type 2 diabetes.

“Shouldn’t we all just be more accepting of whatever body you choose to be in? That should be your choice,” Oprah said during the panel. “Even when I first started hearing about the weight loss drugs, at the same time I was going through knee surgery, and I felt, ‘I’ve got to do this on my own.’ Because if I take the drug, that’s the easy way out.’”

Oprah also admitted she lost weight by hiking and eating healthy food while recovering from knee surgery last year.

“I had knee surgery in August, and then I had another knee surgery in November,” she said. “When I came home the first time, I literally could not lift my leg. I couldn’t lift my heel off of the bed, and I vowed if I was ever able to get up, walk around, and move again — that I would take advantage of movement, exercise, and of being able to be fully in my body.”

Battling weight gain her entire career, Oprah once infamously talked about being shamed for being overweight. “This is a world that has shamed people for being overweight forever, and all of us who have lived it know that people treat you differently, they just do,” Oprah said to USA TODAY. “I’m Oprah Winfrey, and I know all that comes with that, but I get treated differently if I’m 200-plus pounds versus under 200 pounds.”
