The ‘Under The Influence’ singer, Chris Brown, was the attraction of multiple dramatic events at the 2022 American Music Awards (AMAs).

Brown claimed that the AMAs had canceled his scheduled performance in memory of the 40th anniversary of Michael Jackson’s Thriller.

The singer shared a video on his Instagram on Saturday, November 19, of himself and backup dancers practicing his song ‘Under The Influence’ before switching to Jackson’s smash song ‘Beat It.’

“U SERIOUS,” the R&B singer captioned the post. He clarified what he was talking about in the comment section when fans rushed him with questions.

The singer wrote, “WOULDVE been the ama performance but they cancelled me for reasons unknown.”

A representative for Dick Clark Productions (DCP) told Entertainment Tonight on November 21 that Brown was not at fault for the tribute being canceled and that it was an issue of creative direction.

The statement read, “Live shows change all the time, it’s the nature of this business; unfortunately, this element of the AMAs didn’t come together as we couldn’t align on the performance, to no fault of Chris Brown.”

On Monday, November 21, Ciara joined the discussion and hinted that she would also be performing for the tribute by sharing a video of herself working on Thriller choreography in the same rehearsal area as Brown.

Later, an insider confirmed to Entertainment Tonight that Ciara was set to join Brown onstage for a homage to Thriller’s artist.

Many fans were upset and disappointed as one of them commented, “So pissed that award shows don’t ever let him perform. He’s on Michael Jackson level when it comes to his dancing.”

Another comment read, “I’m sick to my stomach!!! I’m so so so sorry this happened Chris! You were so exited! The whole team on and off the floor was excited!!!”

Another angry fan noted, “This is cancel culture right? So why TF aren’t we canceling the AMAs for trying to cancel Breezy??? Can’t nobody do it like this man.”

‘Loyal’ singer won an award at the 2022 AMAs drawing boos from the audience and a statement of support from Kelly Rowland, the presenter.

The 33-year-old singer won favorite male R&B artist over Brent Faiyaz, Giveon, Lucky Daye, and The Weeknd, although he was not present to accept the honor.

There was applause from the audience as Rowland named Brown the category winner, but there was also audible booing. The performer has a long history of legal issues, including numerous arrests for assault and denials of rape allegations.

Rowland said she would be accepting the award on his behalf because he couldn’t be at the event and made a point to raise a finger to silence the booing crowd, saying, “Excuse me, chill out.” 

Furthermore, she said, “I want to tell Chris, thank you so much for making great R&B music, and I want to tell him thank you for being an incredible performer. I’ll take this award, bring it to you. I love you.”

Lauren Luyendyk Wants 1 More Baby with Arie Luyendyk, Told Husband to Reverse Vasectomy

Lauren Burnham Luyendyk, also known as Lauren Luyendyk, has spoken her mind on whether she wants to have more children with her husband, Arie Luyendyk Jr., aka Arie Luyendyk.

The answer is that she wants to have one more baby with her partner. Besides, she even told her husband to get her vasectomy reversed. These revelations came during Lauren’s recent Q&A session, which she held over her Instagram handle.

On Monday, April 22, 2024, Lauren hosted an Instagram Q&A session where one of her followers asked her if she felt her family was complete. The Bachelor alum and her husband are currently the proud and blessed parents of three children.

In reply to the fan’s question, Lauren stressed that the question was a hard one as she recently even told her husband to reverse his vasectomy. However, the parents of three sometimes have a hard time with their kids.

She wrote, “This is such a hard question for me… I told Arie to get a vasectomy reversal the other day, but then we have super hard days sometimes with the kids, and then I sort of question it. I don’t know. I think I might want one more, but just wait a little.”

Lauren’s answer left many of her followers to believe that the reality TV star and her longtime husband might welcome one more baby in the near future. However, it is currently unknown when the married couple will welcome the new addition to their family.

Moreover, Lauren’s husband, Arie, also has to reverse his vasectomy before they plan on having more kids. In this regard, Arie had a few things to say during his recent Q&A session on Instagram in late March 2024.

Firstly, when one Instagram user asked The Bachelor alum if his life at the moment was how he envisioned his future when he started his journey as the Bachelor, Arie replied that he never thought he would be this lucky.

His reply read, “I never thought in a million years I would be this lucky. Honestly, this is better than the future I had carved out in my mind. Lauren is everything and has also given me so much more to love with our three kids. I am forever grateful.”

Right after answering that fan question, he answered another fan question regarding his vasectomy and if he would ever consider reversing the procedure. He tagged his wife’s Instagram handle and wrote, “Whatcha think Lauren?!”

Coming over to Lauren and Arie’s relationship, she has been married to her husband since January 12, 2019. They met on The Bachelor season 22 and engaged on the show itself. Shortly after their wedding, on May 29, 2019, they welcomed their first child, daughter Alessi.

In 2020, Lauren suffered a miscarriage; however, later, in December 2020, the married duo announced they were expecting their second child. Later, it was revealed that they were expecting twins. On June 12, 2021, they welcomed daughter Senna and son Lux.

Some months after the arrival of their twin children, Luyendyk and his wife jointly decided that Luyendyk would have a vasectomy. On February 1, 2022, the reality TV star uploaded a YouTube video revealing he got a vasectomy.

Tara Yummy Apology Resurfaces amid Old Tweet Condoning Sexual Assault

Tara Yummy, also known online as Ms. Yummy and TaraYummy, has recently become one of the rising internet personalities. This has resulted in people digging deep to learn more about her.

When that was happening, netizens stumbled upon her old tweet where she seemingly condoned sexual assault, r–e to be exact. The old tweet was made on June 24, 2013, and seemed to be a Tumblr post, whose screenshot was later posted on Twitter.

Yummy’s old tweet first showed a Tumblr post from a user named The Person Below, and their post read, “The person below is thirsty as [explicit].” Likewise, Yummy’s post was below that, and it read, “It’s not r–e if you like it.”

The screenshot of the TikTok star’s old tweet was shared on Monday, April 22, 2024, by the Instagram handle of THETEATALK. When the post was shared, it garnered a mixed reaction from the netizens, with many criticizing her words.

For instance, one netizen commented, “Nahh, at 12/13, I still wasn’t thinking this that’s crazy.” Another added, “So glad my parents kept me away from social media; at 13, I felt uncomfortable when someone even mentioned the word, makes me think she posted it for validation.”

On the other hand, some Instagram users defended Yummy, stating that she wasn’t even a teenager when she made that post and that she might not have understood what she meant. For instance, one Instagram user wrote, “She was not even a teenager.”

“Y’all are so chronically online to be canceling someone who was 12 years old saying this,” another user commented, with another adding, “She tweeted this in a time period where things like this were often said/used. People will just find anything to try to ‘cancel’ someone.”

When Yummy’s old tweet resurfaced, netizens also found the influencer’s apology regarding her past actions. On the same day that THETEATALK shared Yummy’s old tweet, they also posted her apology, which she made on July 23, 2020.

In her apology, Yummy wrote, “Hi guys! Just quickly addressing a tweet from 2013. I was 12, but I’m fully aware that it was insensitive and stupid! I was way too invested in the internet, and it was a post on tumblr that I absolutely did NOT even understand the meaning behind.”

The internet star continued in another thread, “I don’t condone any sort of sexual assault in ANY manner and I’m so sorry and apologize to anyone who saw this tweet and was offended by it.”

“I take complete responsibility and never want to use my platform for anything other than connecting with you guys and being a positive influence,” Yummy concluded her statement.

When THETEATALK posted Yummy’s apology, the post also garnered mixed reactions from the netizens. While many were still defending Yummy and stating she wasn’t a teenager, some were still keen on criticizing her actions.

“When I was 12 I knew better, so she has no excuse,” “How do you not know what that means at 12 tho?” and “People who still bring up things that people have said from 9+ years ago really need to get a life” were some of the fan comments under the post.

As of this writing, Yummy hasn’t talked about her old tweet, for which she already apologized, resurfacing once again all over the internet. It might be possible that she wouldn’t respond this time around as she already did in 2020.

Maddie Lambert-Crowley Gives Birth To Her Second Baby, A Son

Maddie Lambert-Crowley, known for sharing pregnancy updates on social media, has given birth to her second child. The social media influencer welcomed a baby boy into the world. 

She was just days away from her due date when her son arrived. This is her second child after having a daughter a few years prior. Today, this article discusses everything there is to know about her newborn baby and her pregnancy.

Maddie Lambert-Crowley gave birth to her second baby

Lambert-Crowley and her husband welcomed their newborn son, Ryder James, into the world on March 28th, 2024. The proud mom took to Instagram to share the exciting news and details about her bundle of joy. 

Little Ryder weighed in at a healthy 7 pounds, 14 ounces and measured 20 inches long. His mom gushed that he was a “beautiful, beautiful boy” as she documented the first precious moments with her infant son.

In a series of Instagram story posts, she shared glimpses of Ryder’s tiny hands, him wide awake and alert, and the blissful sight of her husband cradling their newborn. 

The overjoyed parents all smiled as they prepared to take their son home, with Lambert-Crowley capturing the momentous occasion of leaving the hospital under a celebratory tent set up by loved ones.

Maddie Lambert Crowley actively documented her pregnancy

Lambert-Crowley was highly excited and eager to document her pregnancy journey leading up to the birth of her son. 

The announcement in July 2023 that she was expecting kicked off her pregnancy content. She posted a photo of the positive pregnancy test, letting everyone know her second child was due in April 2024. 

As the months went on, she continued sharing milestones like her August 2023 sonogram photo, giving followers an early glimpse at the baby. She announced her pregnancy at just 20 years old.

The gender reveal in October 2023 was a celebratory event, with Lambert-Crowley and her husband cutting into a cake that revealed a blue interior — confirming they were having a boy. They excitedly began preparing for their son’s arrival after that.

Her Instagram became a pregnancy diary of sorts, with her documenting everything from her growing baby bump to trying exercises to induce labor as April 2024 approached.

She even shared that they had selected the name Ryder for their son a few months before his birth.

A baby shower followed in February 2024 as the couple got ready to become parents. The very next month, she posted photos cradling her belly, captioning it “So close to meeting you” as she neared her due date. 

Clearly, Lambert-Crowley wanted to share this unique experience with her followers, opening up her life from that first positive test all the way through Ryder’s arrival in late March 2024.

Her frequent, candid pregnancy posts allowed people to join her on the exciting nine-month journey virtually.

Maddie Lambert Crowley experienced violent pregnancy symptoms

Lambert-Crowley experienced some intense and unpleasant pregnancy symptoms in the early stages of her second pregnancy.

One of the most significant issues has been what she described as “violent hunger” — a ravenous, urgent feeling of hunger that comes on suddenly and intensely. She’s also been dealing with very sore and tender breasts, which she refers to as “ouchie boobies.”

Fatigue has predictably set in as well, leaving the 20-year-old mom feeling drained and tired. But the most challenging thing has been her heightened sensitivity to smells and tastes.

She said fishy odors and flavors, which didn’t bother her before, now seem overwhelmingly potent and off-putting. 

She mentioned sadly having to avoid one of her favorite foods, salmon because she can’t stomach the taste or smell of it currently. Certain aromas have even triggered bouts of motion sickness while driving.

Throughout her second pregnancy, she experienced more intense symptoms compared to her first, which she also shared with her followers along with the happy moments.

Meet Maddie Lambert Crowley’s firstborn daughter

Lambert-Crowley became a mother at the incredibly young age of just 14 when she gave birth to her firstborn daughter, Everly Joy Lambert, in January 2018. 

Despite the immense challenges of teen parenthood, Maddie embraced motherhood wholeheartedly with the unwavering support of her mother and family.

Now six years old, Everly has been her constant companion and source of joy through one of life’s most difficult transitions. From the start, the bond between the mother-daughter duo was unbreakable. 

She made the brave decision to raise Everly as a single mom, demonstrating remarkable maturity, courage, and responsibility far beyond her years.

Everly has grown from an infant to a vivacious little girl, and she and she have formed an incredibly close relationship. 

They share an inseparable connection, regularly going on holidays, shopping trips, and dinner outings together, sometimes joined by Maddie’s now-husband Randy. 

Crowley-Lambert beams with pride over her “mature and sassy” daughter, who is now preparing to start school. Despite her youth, she has worked tirelessly to provide Everly with a loving, nurturing environment.

Maddie Lambert Crowley’s relationship with her husband

Lambert-Crowley’s relationship with her husband, Randy Crowley, has been a whirlwind romance that blossomed into a beautiful marriage and growing family. 

Their love story began uniquely – with Randy shooting his shot by proposing to her to be his girlfriend at midnight on May 28, 2021. Though unconventional, she said yes, and they officially began dating.

Over the next two years, their connection only deepened as they navigated life together. Their commitment was solidified when they tied the knot in a dreamy September 2023 wedding ceremony. 

She gushed about the magical day, feeling immense love, happiness, and gratitude to have Randy as her “amazing husband” and to be gaining a new, beautiful family. 

Sharing moments from their nuptials, the beaming bride revealed she “never knew my heart could be this full.” It was clear that Maddie had found her perfect partner, Randy, to walk through life’s journey together.  

Their relationship provided the firm foundation to take on their next big step – parenthood.

Lambert-Crowley has found an incredible partnership rooted in love, trust, and unity with Randy by her side.
