TV Star Karlie Redd Addresses Rumors about Plastic Surgery

Love and Hip Hop star Karlie Redd recently addressed rumors about plastic surgery on Instagram Live, saying she has had lip injections but refused to have undergone additional cosmetic procedures.

Redd has received criticism on social media, with many followers speculating that the 48-year-old “destroyed” herself to look more attractive.

Many people noticed her new look when she debuted on LAHH. However, the reality TV star claimed that her slanted eye make-up is what gives her a different appearance.

During her Instagram Live session, her make-up artist also confirmed that she had never had a nose job or other surgery. Despite her outspokenness, many people were taken aback by her transformation.

Karlie Redd’s response to surgery rumors

Redd has received numerous comments about her appearance, so the star decided to respond to them on Instagram.

Karlie stated, “Everyone is talking about my face. First and foremost, let’s be honest. I got lip injections, and Tim is always telling me to stop doing them, so I’m going to stop because everyone is talking about my face.”

“I’ve never had surgery, but I always have Tim do my eyes slanted because he has this technique that makes my eyes look catty,” she added.

Previously, in 2020, she also said that “For those who claim I had all of this facial surgery, I have never had surgery, but here’s my secret. My face received cool laser treatment. They also did my lips, but there was no surgery.”

She further stated that Tom had been doing her makeup and that she had never undergone a nose job.

Likewise, the model posted a video of herself getting a coolaser facial treatment. According to the website of the physician who gave her the procedure, Coolaser is the “new facelift” and focuses on delaying the signs of aging without undergoing surgery.

Aside from keeping your face young and getting rid of or reducing wrinkles, the Coolaser light can even out skin pigmentation and reduce scarring.

Fans’ reactions to Karlie Redd’s response

Redd’s fans, who consider her to be one of the “prettiest faces” on Love and Hip Hop, have reacted to her surgery. The majority of people did not believe the reality TV star when she claimed she had never had surgery.

One YouTube user said, “Girlfriend got her face done. That’s not even the problem; the strange part is the denial. As if you did something wrong! It’s all your money, and all that matters is that you’re happy. “

Many people have left negative comments, including one supporter who wrote, “She’s still so beautiful, but it’s sad what society has done to make us chase youth. Nothing is wrong with aging gracefully.”

Another said, “Why do you do that? I had forgotten how beautiful she used to be. It breaks my heart to think she looks in the mirror and feels the need to correct her appearance.”

Karlie Redd before the rumor of plastic surgery

Redd had smaller lips and cheeks before the rumor about her having plastic surgery spread. Similarly, her eyes used to be normal, but she now has a cat eye, which she attributes to her eye make-up.

The star does not appear to have had any cosmetic work done at the time. On the other hand, fans are convinced that she has had cheek and lip fillers, cat-eye surgery, and a mini facelift.

Many Redd fans thought she was one of the prettiest faces on reality TV,  and many people still think she is beautiful despite the surgery rumors.

Buck Johnson’s ‘Tongue and Groove,’ Inspired by Late Father

American musician Buck Johnson released his first solo album, Enjoying the Ride, in 2016. Since its release, many have been waiting for the musician to release a new album.

Good news for the fans: he will release his second album, Tongue and Groove, in September. He talked about the release in an exclusive interview with People.

In the interview, Johnson revealed that the album was named after a song inspired by his late father. “I wrote a song not specifically about him, but something he’d always said to me,’’ he said while talking to People.

The title song came from something his father used to say. When his family lived outside of Birmingham in a town named Shady Grove, they lived in an old home that his father helped rebuild.

Whenever there were tornado warnings, Johnson’s father always said, “‘Son, you don’t need to worry. This house is built tongue and groove. It’ll stand any storm.” These words stayed with him until now, which became the inspiration for his upcoming song.

The upcoming album is set to be released in September and will consist of 9 songs. Although the title song was inspired by his father’s words, that was not originally the plan, as per Johnson.

“But that’s the thing about music,” says Johnson. “Music can be therapy if you allow it to be.”

Buck Johnson’s father introduced him to rock music

Johnson’s late father was the reason he got interested in rock music in the first place. On August 20, 2023, he recalled a very special memory of his father through his official Instagram post.

Buck Johnson

With a childhood picture of him with his father, he wrote, “As a kid, Buck’s dad gave him The Beatles album “Help!” after winning it at a Woolworth’s department store door prize. This was his first real exposure to rock music. Some older cousins turned him on to heavier stuff, like Led Zeppelin and Johnson, who were blown away by Roger Daltrey’s vocals on The Who’s “Who’s Next” LP. “That changed things for me,” Buck says. “I realized I was a rocker at heart.”

Johnson talked about his father very proudly but did not reveal further details about him. As such, there is no internet information about his parents and siblings.

As per reports, he started singing alongside his family at a very young age and sang gospel music throughout the South. His family is one of his biggest supporters and seems to have interested him in music.

Buck Johnson’s second family

Johnson was pursuing his education at the Birmingham-Southern College when he met Kym and fell in love with her. The pair started dating and relocated to Los Angeles, California together.

The couple married on September 5, 1992, in the presence of close friends and family. They celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary in 2022, and Johnson took the news to Instagram to share it with his fans.

Alongside a series of lovely pictures of the couple, he wrote, “Celebrating our 30th Anniversary! On September 5, 1992, I was lucky enough to marry my best friend, lover, and soul mate. It’s been an amazing, fun, and wild ride so far. The next 30 will be even better! @missalabama87 #30thanniversary”

Kym is a certified music teacher and the center director of Music City Music Together Inc. According to her company’s official website, she has been teaching music for 22 years and has a musical theater degree from Birmingham Southern College in Alabama.

Furthermore, she also represented the state of Alabama in the 1987 Miss America pageant. After moving to LA with her now husband, she did various odd jobs like voice-over works and commercials to make ends meet.

Kym instantly found music to be her calling and founded Music Together, where more than 1500 families have now participated in her classes. Her company, Music City Music Together, has been established for more than 17 years now.

Buck Johnson’s Musical History

After Johnson relocated to Los Angeles, he started touring and recording music with big names like The Doobie Brothers, Shawn Mullins, The Thorns, John Waite, and more. He also collaborated with songwriters/producers like Jamie Houston and Charlie Midnight.

He joined the country rock band Whiskey Falls in 2006 as a co-vocalist, principal songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist alongside members Wally Brandt, Seven Williams, and Damon Johnson. Their self-titled debut album, released in 2007, was a hit and earned two Country Top 50 hit singles.

Johnson later joined the popular rock band Aerosmith as keyboards, acoustic guitarist, and backing vocals for their European and North American tours in 2014. Two years later, he played keywords and sang backing vocals for the Whitford-St. Holmes album Reunion.

To this day, this extraordinary talent in music tours with some very popular rock bands like Aerosmith, Perry, and Hollywood Vampires as keyboardists, backing vocals, and acoustic guitarists.

Bobby Brown’s Children Still Visit Him in His Dreams

Singer-songwriter Bobby Brown is a successful American personality in the music industry. However, the 55-year-old singer has been met with several unfortunate events in his lifetime, including the death of his two children.

Brown had to endure the deaths of two of his beloved children, Bobbi Christina and Bobby Jr. However, he still remembers them in his heart and runs the Bobbi Kristina Serenity House Gala: A Night of Inspiration, Empowerment, and Hope every year.

The Grammy-winning singer also attended a charity event that raises funds for domestic violence centers. He spoke about the gala in an exclusive interview with People.

Brown shared that it was a great event and a beautiful night, which meant a great deal for him. He reveals that he was glad to see all the faces and reporters who care about what he cares about.

“Because it’s getting rough out there for a lot of different people, and it’s just good to have support, to help try to eradicate domestic violence,” he says. In the interview, he also talks about his daughter, who was a part of the domestic violence situation which cost her life.

He said his daughter is always on his mind and heart, and helping others with her name feels like therapy. His daughter was not the only one he remembered on this day, and he also talked about his son, Bobby Brown Jr., who passed away in 2020.

Brown says both his children visit his dreams to this day. He says that these dreams were reoccurring whenever he was asleep.

“I tend to dream about both of ’em, my son and my daughter, which is helpful for me. Just being able to see their faces and I see ’em smiling, it helps me out in a big way,” he says.

The deaths of the two essential members of his life have caused massive trauma to him. In this interview, he mentioned that he is still seeing a therapist.

He also said, “Just being able to talk about it helps out. Also, prayer always works. And staying busy. I try to keep myself as busy as possible, doing different things.”

The death of Bobby Brown’s daughter, Bobbi Christina

Brown’s daughter was found unconscious at her residence in Roswell, Georgia, in January of 2015. Discovered in her bathtub, she was immediately rushed to North Fulton Hospital and placed on a ventilator.

Her condition was critical, and she was kept in a medically induced coma to stop the swelling of her brain. Several media reported that her brain activity was low, and Brown himself released a statement to the press asking them to respect the family’s privacy.

Brown’s daughter was then transferred to the Emory University Hospital, but her condition worsened. She was removed from the ventilator and kept in the hospice after doctors concluded her brain function would not improve.

Bobby Brown

She was kept in the kept in Hospice’s care located in Duluth, Georgia, where she ultimately passed away. Several media reports announced that she passed away on July 26, 2015, at the very young age of 22.

The cause of her death was due to drug intoxication and immersion in water. However, the primary cause of all this was domestic violence. Christina’s then-boyfriend, Nick Gordon, was found legally responsible for her death and ordered to pay $36 million.

Brown’s family filed a civil case against him in 2016 and won by default after Gordon did not appear in two civil case hearings. However, Gordon, too, met a very tragic ending, cutting off his life in February of 2020.

As per statements from Florida’s Districts 5 & 24 medical examiner’s office, he died due to heroin toxicity. He was found dead in Seminole County at the age of 30, with caffeine, morphine, and naloxone found in his systems. 

Gordon’s attorney, Joe Hebachy, mourned his death, stating his heart sank when he heard the news. He told the reporters that Gordon was trying to stay away from drugs despite his past.

“He worked hard to hold his head up and stay sober and … he genuinely wanted a happy healthy life with his family more than anything else,” his attorney said. He also expressed his condolences to Gordon’s family and friends, as well as other families dealing with losses and heartaches caused by drugs.

Bobby Brown’s son, Bobby Brown Jr., died five years after his daughter Bobbi Christina’s death

After the loss of his dear daughter, Brown experienced yet another loss of an essential person in the family. Several media reported this tragic news after the confirmation from the Los Angeles Police on November 18, 2020.

Bobby Jr. was found dead in his home in Los Angeles after someone asked for a medical emergency. Brown asked people to pray for his family at this difficult time.

“Losing my son at this point in our lives has devastated my family. There are no words to explain the pain,” he says. The cause of the death was not determined at first but later ruled as an accidental overdose of fentanyl, cocaine, and alcohol.

Although the case looked like a simple drug overdose, Brown and his ex-wife Kim Ward stated that someone provided him with the drugs, and he didn’t have an addiction.

Ward said that Bobby Jr. was easily influenced by his surroundings, and he was associated with some bad influences at that time. She also claimed that whoever provided the drugs should be held accountable.

Sarah Herron Talks about Intrusive Thoughts during Pregnancy

Sarah Herron, a former Bachelor in Paradise contestant, has been open about her dark and intrusive thoughts after the loss of her son, who was born after 24 weeks and passed away shortly after. She is currently pregnant with her twins and shares her challenges and thoughts.

Over the years, Herron has been letting all her fans know about her pregnancy journey to raise awareness. In a series of Instagram posts and stories, the reality TV star has been sharing about her unsettling day.

On March 17, the reality star took to her Instagram stories to share about the hard and scary day she experienced the day before. As per reports, she first wrote a disclaimer stating “If seeing pregnancy announcements is triggering or annoying for you, which I completely understand, please go ahead and skip these next few stories.”

The reality TV star then revealed that she has started to feel her twins move. However, she was feeling a bit paranoid since she could only feel one baby.

However, she stated she was relieved after she was able to feel the movement of both babies intermittently. “However, yesterday Baby B joined the party in a big way and I’ve been feeling lots of movement from both of them intermittently!” she wrote.

After the good news, Herron started talking about the difficulties she navigated. She revealed being in extreme abdominal pain not being sure of the cause.

“Then mid-day I’m not sure if it was heartburn, or just growing pains from growing two babies, but I could not get comfortable and I was in a lot of upper abdominal discomfort,” the reality star explained.

She explained the pain as a ball in her chest that could not get away and suspected it to be either heartburn or growing pains from her babies. Due to the constant pain, she reveals feeling scared and weak.

Herron ended the Instagram story by stating that she was okay now and that her mind was in a better place. “It’s so hard when you have these days, and then you wake up and everything’s fine again. It’s such a rollercoaster of physical and emotional,” she says.

Since then, Herron has been posting regular updates regarding her pregnancy through posts and stories. By sharing her experiences on social media, she has been raising awareness about the complexities of pregnancy and offering support and validation to others who may be struggling silently.

Sarah Herron lost her son a year back

As Herron is going through pregnancy for the second time, the trauma from the first pregnancy seems to have made her very cautious and attentive. Back in September 2022, the reality star announced her first pregnancy with a baby son via US Weekly.

Her first baby was born in January 2023. However, misfortune struck both the Herron family and the baby. Hours after the baby was born, he passed away.

A month after his birth date, Herron took to Instagram to share a message stating, “It’s been a month since Oliver was born. ❤️ This is him, this is his sweet little face. Perfect and covered in bright blonde peach fuzz. All 2lbs of him.”

“What I hate, is that as more time separates us from the night we met Oliver, sometimes I can’t distinguish if the last month has been a nightmare or if my pregnancy was all a dream. And as each new day brings increments of space and healing… I am gutted that we are moving back in a direction of life that physically looks like the one we lived before Oliver. My body is healing, yet I remain in maternity jeans—a paradox of relief and grief at the same time,” she says.

Through this post, fans can see how much she misses her first child and how hurt she was. However, she and her family are slowly healing and in preparation for welcoming two new members of the family.

Sarah Herron’s IVF Journey

After the loss of her first baby, Herron and her husband, Dylan Brown, decided to move forward with another embryo transfer. They transferred their third embryo but were not successful.

Herron shared her experiences through an Instagram post on June 29, 2023. She shared, “IVF gives families so much hope and possibility, but when it doesn’t work out, it’s hard not to feel like you’ve just watched that possibility get flushed down the drain.”

Despite all the hardships they encountered, the reality star got pregnant again and found hope again. In February 2024, she confirmed the news of her expecting fraternal twins through Instagram.

Although this is very happy news for the couple, Herron feels torn due to the previous loss of her baby. She writes, “I’ve been careful in this pregnancy not to let myself get “too attached too soon.” I’ve been wearing baggier clothing, hibernating, and denying when friends ask me on the phone if I’m starting to show up yet. Even in subsequent pregnancy I *still* find myself limiting my exposure to other women’s pregnancies—even my own. Pregnancy after loss is just a whole new, complicated territory and I wish there was a playbook.”

She is currently in her 17th week of pregnancy with twin girls and has shared updates with her fans through her Instagram account. On March 16, she shared, “Baby girls aren’t skipping any meals and I’m so happy to see them growing. We love and miss you, Oliver! Thank you for watching over these girls.”
