Wait, EnVogue's Dawn Robinson Says She's 'Not Homeless But Lives in Her Car Because of What ?!!!
Dawn Robinson just made a big clarification when it comes to her living situation. As we reported earlier this month, the En Vogue singer took to YouTube a few weeks ago, breaking the internet when she revealed that she has spent the last three years homeless, living out of her car. The statements sparked a giant conversation surrounding our favorite ex acts, and what happens to many of them after their days in the spotlight.
In a recent statement, however, Robinson has had to clarify her previous words and the specific sentiments around them. In a newly issued statement, she explained, 'Sometimes in life, we end up in situations that we weren't expecting,' as People reports. 'There's something we need to learn or teach, but we're too afraid to push ourselves out of our comfort zones to do it —so the universe does it for us!' She adds that during this period of growth, we either 'learn to trust ourselves or give in to fear and fail.'
She then made one thing clear: she is not, in fact, homeless. 'I want to make it clear: I am not homeless. I am temporarily choosing car life as part of my journey of healing and self-discovery.' She continued saying that she took a risk and 'jumped headfirst into this lifestyle,' calling it 'a crazy, fun, sometimes scary ride.'
'For me, failure is NOT an option. Being vulnerable sucks, but here I GROW. This is about embracing freedom, trusting the process, and finding strength in the unexpected.'
She then spoke directly to her fans, thanking them for the support but insisting they do not donate to unauthorized fundraising campaigns, as many have wanted to support the singer since her revelation. 'I've been made aware that some individuals may be requesting funds on my behalf through platforms like Cash App, GoFundMe or other means,' she explained.
'I want to be clear: I have not authorized any fundraising campaigns, and I do not want anyone—especially my loyal fans—to be scammed or taken advantage of.' She once again thanked them for their love and support, saying she wants to ensure that their kindness is not misused. 'Please be cautious and do not send money to anyone claiming to act on my behalf.'

'Love Is Blind 'Alum Marshall Glaze Says Last Year Was 'Very Tough' for Him: 'I Was Going to Take My Own Life'
Marshall Glaze, who appeared on season 4 of Love Is Blind, discussed his mental health challenges on the Wednesday, June 4, edition of What's the Reality? podcast During the podcast, he discussed contemplating suicide, saying, "Last year was just very tough for me mentally, and I was going to take my own life" He recalled realizing that he wanted to "live" and said that he hoped sharing his story would allow him to "heal"Marshall Glaze is getting candid about his mental health journey. The season 4 Love Is Blind star was a guest on the Wednesday, June 4, edition of Amber Desiree "AD" Smith's podcast, What's the Reality?, during which he discussed his mental health journey over the past year. "Last year was just very tough for me mentally, and I was going to take my own life. It just got to a point where I had always been morbidly curious, but never thought about how to do it," he said. "And then, one day, I'm just down in the dumps, just crazy depressed. Nothing is going right for me in my life or I feel like nothing is going right, that's what my internal monologue is telling me," continued Glaze. The star went on to note that "those voices, that darkness just got a little bit louder, got a little bit darker." Glaze described feeling like he was "in this box," and "the walls were just getting closer and closer and closer." "No favorite meal, no favorite movie, no favorite song, could lift me out of that," he said. "I knew I had a problem when, this particular time I talked to my mom, I was okay with that being the last time I talked to her." Glaze said he knew what he was going through was "bad" because his mother was someone he talked to "multiple times throughout the day." "I was going to do what I felt like I had to do, but I couldn't," he continued, adding that he then went for a walk that he "will never forget." "Seattle is a very rainy city, and this was at peak rain season, and I lived on a very busy street in downtown Seattle, and at any time of the day, there's buses, cars, bikes, people walking, and nobody was out there," said Glaze. He recalled walking around in the rain while wearing a cut-off t-shirt, basketball shorts and a pair of slides. "I walked around the Space Needle, came around back to my apartment, and I'm like, 'I want to live,' " he said. Glaze said that sharing his story ultimately helps him "heal." "I hope that someone out there can resonate with that and choose life," he concluded. If you or someone you know is considering suicide, please contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255), text "STRENGTH" to the Crisis Text Line at 741-741 or go to Read the original article on People

Billy Joel's first ex-wife breaks her silence more than 40 years after her divorce
Elizabeth Weber has "great" memories of her marriage to Billy Joel. The 78-year-old former business manager was married to Uptown Girl singer Billy, 76, from 1973 to 1982 and has never spoken out about their marriage until now. She told PEOPLE: "It was great then, it's great whenever I think about it, and it's great now." Elizabeth has revisited that part of her life as part of the Billy Joel: And So It Goes documentary and admitted that it was the two-parter's executive producer Steve Cohen who persuaded her to get on board. "I love Steve and I worked with him, and he's a close friend of I thought, 'Wait a second. I have a really nice life. I have a lot of privacy. I immediately [agreed]." It was then that director Susan Lacy approached Elizabeth and because she did it in such a "personal way", she admitted that the whole thing "felt right" for her to commit to. "Susan approached me in a very personal way, and it resonated with me, and Billy licensed the music, so I knew that there would be good music. "So it felt right — and it still does." Steve also noted that he and Elizabeth have a long-standing friendship and even though there was some "reluctance" for her to sign onto the documentary after such time away from the spotlight, he knew she had to do it. He said: "Elizabeth and I have a friendship that has lasted since we first met. "She was there at the very beginning when I got hired, and...I will tell you, there was reluctance in the beginning because she's been out of the public eye and she's been maligned incredibly in the blogosphere. Following his marriage to Elizabeth, Billy went on to tie the knot with model Christie Brinkley in 1985 and has Alexa, 39, with her but they split a year later. He was then married to author Katie Lee from 2004 until 2009 but then tied the knot with Alexis Roderick in 2015 and has daughters Della and Remy with her.
