Originally appeared on E! Online
1000-LB Roomies' Jaz has an important decision to make.
In E! News' exclusive preview of the June 10 episode of the TLC series, the 41-year-old and her family have an emotional conversation over her desire to undergo bariatric surgery. After all, while her family is hesitant, she knows it's something she needs to do.
"I don't want my family disappointed in me, but then it makes me scared because this right here is reality," Jaz says in her confessional, alongside costar and roommate Nesha. "If I don't go through with the surgery, I'm not going to be here much longer."
Indeed, prior to her candid confessional, Jaz broaches the topic with her family over Sunday dinner.
"I've been seeing a doctor,' she tells them.' So far I've lost 40 pounds, and I've been taking the weight loss shot."
After hesitating, she adds, "I've been thinking about having weight loss surgery."

Jaz's grandmother quickly shares her concern, with her mother chiming in, "I know a lot of people who had it and was successful, but they're not my daughter."
But despite the pushback, Jaz simply says, "I need ya'll support."
Indeed, in the June 3 series premiere, Jaz had a conversation with her doctor Dr. Sarvenaz Nouri during which he emphasized the serious risks she faces.
'If you don't lose weight and if you don't get the weight loss surgery to lose weight,' he explained, 'you will not survive for that long."
He added that she still has "about 130 pounds" to lose before she can get the surgery, as he wants her to be around 500 pounds. And she took his words seriously as she thought of what's at stake, especially with a 10-year-old daughter at home.
'I'm very scared,' Jaz said. 'How many days I got left? How many days I got left to be a parent? How many days I got left to be an auntie, a sister, a daughter and a best friend?'
And while Jaz's mom and grandma are worried for her when it comes to taking surgical measures, Nesha is standing by Jaz's side, as she emphasized in the first episode, "Whatever she has to do, I'm in full support."

Tarek El Moussa's son Brayden shared the sneaky reason he wants his dad and stepmom Heather Rae El Moussa to have another kid The 9-year-old shared his reasoning to his dad, insisting he just wants "one more" Tarek shares Brayden with ex-wife Christina Haack, along with his daughter Taylor; meanwhile he and wife Heather have a 2-year-old son named TristanTarek El Moussa's older son Brayden wants another baby sibling. The 9-year-old son of Tarek and his ex-wife Christina Haack spoke with E! News and shared that he is hoping his dad and stepmom Heather Rae El Moussa will have another little one. Tarek and Heather, who are already parents to 2-year-old son Tristan, smiled alongside Brayden as he explained the hilarious reason why he wants another sibling. 'Well I want another kid just because to get Tristan away from me,' Brayden said. 'A little bit farther so he can hang out with his other brother and I won't get blamed for everything.' Alongside his son, Tarek shares daughter Taylor with Haack, who is also mom to son Hudson with ex Ant Anstead. "We already got four kids. We just need one more,' Brayden explained in his interview.

The Selling Sunset alum has previously spoken about wanting another baby. On a March episode of the Scrubbing in with Becca Tilley & Tanya Rad podcast, Heather shared that she and Tarek aren't on the same page when it comes to having another baby. "That's a sensitive topic for me!" Heather said of having another baby. "Obviously I have my stepkids and I'm so in love with them, but having your own baby — oh my gosh. It's so hard to explain it until you go through it." "I never wanted to leave [my son]. I want to be with him all the time. I still do," she continued. "He is the light of my life. It makes me so happy. I'm like, 'How could I not want more?' But my husband is very much done." The proud mom went on to explain that she's started thinking about growing her family after age became something she had to consider. "I'm 37. I'm turning 38 this year. So for me, it's kind of like now or never in a way, not because you can't have babies older, but I don't want to be 40 having babies still 'cause it's a lot," she admitted. "It takes up a lot of your time, a lot of your life, and the kids are my priority over myself. So I want to do it, get my body back. And it took a long time. It's hard." Although she said she wished she had talked with Tarek about having another kid right after having Tristan, Heather shared that she struggled with postpartum. "I didn't have depression, but you go through crazy hormonal changes," she said. "You're taking care of this little human that needs you. It's not like you can just leave and go. They need you."

Diddy Assistant Claims He Was Fired For Forgetting Mogul's Fanny Pack

Originally appeared on E! Online Brendan Paul has entered the witness box. Sean 'Diddy' Combs' former assistant revealed he was fired multiple times during 'intense' workdays, according to NBC News reporters in the courtroom. 'In late Oct 2023, I forgot his Lululemon fanny pack,' Paul—who worked for Combs for 18 months from 2022 to 2024—told the jurors June 20. 'He said, 'I don't want to see your face. Call Kristina Khorram [Combs' former Chief of Staff] and say you are fired.' He was disappointed, and his tone was angry.' He recalled Khorram telling him to 'lay low' for some time and that 'everything will be fine.' A few days later, he testified, the Bad Boys Records founder saw him and said, 'Hey.' Similar to other former employees, Paul admitted he was often sleep-deprived as he worked for Combs. 'I was young, so I was able to handle it,' the 29-year-old shared. 'I would take Adderall and rare use of cocaine.' More from E! Online What Happened to Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader Chandi Dayle?

'We would make sure he was happy. He does not take no for an answer. He said he wants us to move like Seal Team 6, nothing taken by surprise.' Following Paul's testimony on day 27, Homeland Security Investigations Special Agent Joseph Cerciello will be a summary witness for the prosecution. It's been a tense few days in court as Juror No. 6 was removed June 16 —despite the defense's concerns over eliminating one of two Black individuals on the jury—which was followed by worries that another male juror may have spoken improperly with a former colleague about the case. Combs has pleaded not guilty to sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion, as well as transportation to engage in prostitution.

After the show's 90th wedding, real couples from ‘90 Day Fiancé' explain why love for the franchise endures

When '90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way' cast members Shekinah Garner and Sarper Güven got married in bed, the pair seemed to thrill and enrage their audience in equal measure. Some viewers offered up congratulations to the newlyweds in comments on social media, while others viewed the nuptials as a stunt meant to garner the pair more airtime. Welcome to the world of the '90 Day' franchise, shows people love to watch and live to hate-watch. Garner and Güven's wedding was the 90th of the franchise, which has multiple shows and millions of fans. The original show, '90 Day Fiancé,' premiered on TLC in January 2014, featuring stories about Americans who fall in love with people from other countries. The '90 day' refers to the amount of time an individual with a K-1 fiancé(e) visa has to marry their US sponsor and start the process to become an American citizen. The franchise has grown to have multiple spinoff series, including '90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days,' '90 Day: The Single Life,' '90 Day Fiancé: Love in Paradise' and 'The Last Resort.' (Like CNN, TLC is part of Warner Bros. Discovery.) Loren and Alexei Brovarnik joined the show in 2015 after meeting and falling in love in Israel, where she had traveled as part of a birthright trip in 2013. Viewers have followed their lives over the past ten years as they settled in Florida and welcomed three children. It hasn't always been easy, something Loren learned after she underwent a surgical 'mommy makeover,' which caused some tension with her husband and divided viewers. 'You're always being judged,' Loren Brovernik told CNN. 'You're damned if you do, you're damned if you don't and you can't do it right no matter what.' Public scrutiny hasn't dissuaded the couple from participating in several spinoffs, including '90 Day Fiancé: Pillow Talk' and 'Loren & Alexei: After the 90 Days.' They will next be seen in a new season of '90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?' 'It's a brilliant concept and every story is different,' Brovernik said of the entire franchise. Alon Orstein, senior vice president for production and development for TLC, credits the appeal of '90 Day' shows to their mix of romance and drama. 'It's boy meets girl, boy meets boy, girl meets girl,' he said. 'People love to see the romantic journeys. People love the rollercoaster relationships, and '90 Day Fiancé' gives it this twist of this international component.' He insists that the show is not scripted, as some on social media have suggested. Orstein said they aim to cast individuals who are 'open, being honest, giving full access, being ready to wear your heart on your sleeve, being ready to dig deep and to be ready, willing and able to sort of have your most intimate experiences be out there.' 'That's not so easy. Not everyone can do that, and it's something that we have to be mindful of in the casting process. And sometimes even during productions people become more guarded,' Orstein said. 'It's hard to do these stories and to make a show like this if people aren't ready to sort of open up and give full access. That's really what makes the best cast members, people who are just ready to go there.' Kenny Niedermeier and Armando Rubio became famous for their appearance on '90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way,' when Niedermeier moved to Mexico, married Rubio and become co-parent to Rubio's daughter, Hannah, 12. The couple even had a spin-off in 2022, titled 'Kenny & Armando: Love Is Love.' The two men said they didn't quite know what to expect when they joined the franchise, but it's been a great experience. 'I think our favorite part is that we were able to tell our story, and I think it helped a lot of people that are in our situation that might feel kind of left out or they feel like a lot of people don't support them,' Niedermeier said. He added that occasional negativity they received for sharing their lives was something that made them closer. 'We felt so much support along the way,' Niedermeier said. 'We weren't sure what we to expect when we signed on to do '90 Day Fiancé,' but we were pleasantly surprised and I think it really made a difference in our lives.' The new season of '90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?' premieres Sunday, July 6 at 8pm ET/PT on TLC.
