Bachelor in Paradise's Jordan Kimball Sets the Record Straight on Jenna Cooper Cheating Allegations

Bachelor in Paradise, Jordan Kimball

Jordan Kimball isn't one to mince words.
Just last night, the male model and his then-fiancée (we'll get to that) Jenna Cooper looked like two perfect lovebirds at the Bachelor in Paradise finale and reunion show. However, that didn't last long.
On Monday, Reality Steve tweeted that there's some "evidence out there" about one of the contestants—we know now it's Cooper—and it would get "exposed."
In his blog post, Reality Steve shared three screenshots allegedly from Cooper to a mystery man who claims to have been in a relationship with her this entire time. The blogger said he "vetted" the texts, confirming that they came from Cooper's phone number. In it, Cooper reveals to this alleged boyfriend, "Me and Jordan aren't even together for real. I don't even like him let alone love him."
She added that she went on the show because it's "all for my business."
Reality Steve broke the news about the texts, and Kimball spoke on the blogger's podcast on Wednesday to explain it all. For starters, the model firmly believes his ex wrote those texts, despite her denying the claims.
Kimball told Steve, "It is extremely hard to talk about but when I read these texts, I can hear her voice saying it."
He continued, "The structure of the speaking and the facts this gentlemen has about her...it's scary. It gives me chills."

In the last 24 hours since the finale and reunion show premiered, Kimball shared his thoughts on an Instagram post where he opens up about his heartbreak. "When you're in love with even the experiences you've had with them it's something to respect. Being careless with someone that you give your heart to and reach milestones with isn't sensible no matter what the terms may be," he wrote.
When Kimball and Cooper spoke about the texts, he said he hardly felt reassured. "I felt even sicker," he said.
In terms of her response about the scandal, Kimball knew something was amiss. "It's looking like I got played," he admitted to Reality Steve. "Once you get played the last thing you want to do is get fooled as well."
Kimball told Reality Steve he went to Paradise not thinking he would walk out of it an engaged man. "You go there to have some fun," he said.
Meeting Cooper changed that perspective for him.
During season 5 of Bachelor in Paradise and his tenure on Becca Kufrin's season of The Bachelorette, Kimball was synonymous with one-liners and quips. He's not feeling that way now, though. "I'm not my normal self," he said. "It's something that's going to take time to recover."
Although Kimball has officially "removed" himself from his engagement to Cooper, he wishes no ill will on her. "You're not going to see me disrespect her at all," he explained.
Cooper also took to Instagram today to deny the allegations, saying the texts were "completely fabricated."
Bachelor Nation, however, has quickly taken sides in this breakup. Kimball's cast mates from this season of Paradise, including Kevin Wendt and Colton Underwood, have voiced their support on Instagram. Previous contestants have also done the same.
In his Instagram upload, Kimball explained he would be "taking time to pursue my inner peace," which he reiterated to Reality Steve. He justified his outspoken reaction about it all: "Everyone needs to understand I have to protect myself in this."

Royal Wedding Reflects A Changing Britain : Parallels : NPR

Royal Wedding Reflects A Changing Britain When millions of people tune in Saturday morning for the British royal wedding, there will be talk of fairy tales and plenty of cinematic shots of Prince Harry and his bride, Meghan Markle, riding in a horse-drawn carriage past thousands of cheering fans with the turrets of Windsor Castle in the background. But beyond the pageantry and royal stagecraft at which the British excel, there is a genuine story about a changing Britain, a complicated American family, a resilient monarchy and the redemption of a wayward prince. What makes this wedding interesting is not Prince Harry's position. He is sixth in line to the throne and extremely unlikely ever to sit upon it. Instead, much of the focus has been on his unconventional choice in a bride: a biracial, divorced American TV actress. For years, Harry dated from the usual pool of upper-class women. "These girls were always the same," said Kate Williams, a profes

'It's even worse': Ellicott City, still recovering from 2016 flood, hammered again

After the deadly flooding of 2016, Howard County Executive Allan Kittleman said Ellicott City, Maryland, was reduced to a "war zone" and likened it to the set of a disaster movie. On Monday, Kittleman said  the flooding of 2018  was much nastier. Authorities were still in the assessment stage on a soggy Memorial Day, trying to determine exactly how much worse. Particularly worrying, Kittleman said, is a 25- to 30-foot-wide hole just north of Main Street, where the ground and road   appear to have buckled under the weight of the flooding. "There are a lot of people whose lives are going to be devastated again, and they've been working so hard to come back and we just need to be there for them and to tell them ... all of our resources are there to help them," Kittleman said. "I can't imagine what they're going through. I couldn't imagine what they went through two years ago, and now it's even worse." The first concern is peop

The curious case of how a 9-year-old self-proclaimed cocaine dealer became an Instagram influencer

The curious case of how a 9-year-old self-proclaimed cocaine dealer became an Instagram influencer Lil Tay, who says she's 9, has managed to evade social media platform rules and gain millions of followers despite age limits on holding accounts. Her case, among others, shows how lax regulation is when it comes to young social media influencers. A pint-size girl wearing a jean jacket with the tags still on fans a stack of $100 bills at the camera. She gets in the driver's seat of a red Mercedes-Benz, though her legs are too short to reach the pedals. "This is why all y'all f----- haters hate me b----," Lil Tay  says in a squeaky, prepubescent voice . "This s--- cost me 200,000. I'm only 9 years old. I ain't got no license, but I still drive this sports car b----. Your favorite rapper ain't doing it like Lil Tay." The video has been viewed more than 9 million times on Instagram alone. It's all typical speech from the preteen pr
