Abby Lee Miller is blaming her time behind bars for the reason she's confined to a wheelchair these days ... suggesting she was punished for her celebrity status.

The "Dance Moms" star stopped by Bethenny Frankel's "Just B" podcast ... where she touched on her time in prison, having previously been convicted of bankruptcy fraud. As Abby put it ... she wasn't able to get access to her meds while incarcerated, allegedly on purpose.

Abby says she was "punished" in prison -- adding that's why she is now in a wheelchair. She says ... "That's why I'm in a wheelchair, because in prison I was punished and taken off all my medication, cold turkey."

Andy Cohen's position at Bravo has been secured for the foreseeable future ... not long after being cleared in a misconduct investigation, TMZ has learned.

The network confirmed Thursday that Andy and "Watch What Happens Live" will continue on through 2025. This update comes after a turbulent year for the TV personality, who was accused of harassment by former Housewives Leah McSweeney and Brandi Glanville.

A Bravo rep tells us … "The outside investigation into the recent allegations made by Brandi Glanville and Leah McSweeney against Andy Cohen has now been completed, and the claims were found to be unsubstantiated."

3:20 PM PT -- We got PK Thursday in West Hollywood at The Henry right on the heels of the news of him and Dorit Kemsley separating -- and while we tried asking how he was feeling ... the guy wasn't in any mood to talk, beelining it for a restaurant -- this while 'RHOBH' cameras were rolling for the new season.

Check out the footage ... PK gets out of his car, and you can tell there's a production going on -- 'cause there's a ton of camera people around, and he's in the thick of it. Again, we asked how he was holding up during this hard time, but he was pretty mum on it.

BTW, PK was going into the restaurant to meet with none other than Mauricio Umansky ... whom he sat and chatted with, only to get frustrated and storm out.

Kendall Jenner is enjoying her child-free lifestyle -- making it clear she has no plans to reproduce anytime soon ... but not ruling out the possibility down the line.

The supermodel shared this update in a new chat with Vogue, where she reflects on her previous desire to have little ones by 27. However, now at age 28, Kendall confessed she isn't experiencing baby fever at the moment ... and is happy with her life.

She adds ... "Now I'm past that and I feel like I'm still so young. I'm enjoying my kidless freedom." BTW, Kendall has talked about this in the past ... joking she's the only sister without little ones on her plate, and she seemed happy about it then too.

Kris Jenner delivered a major reveal to her family in a dramatic clip from the upcoming season of "The Kardashians," leaving several of her famous daughters in utter shock and tears.

In a recently released teaser for the fifth season of the popular Hulu show, Kris was sitting in a room with Khloe, Kendall and Kylie as well as her boyfriend Corey Gamble.

The Kardashian-Jenner matriarch then served up the bad news as she became emotional, telling all those present, "I had my scan. They found a cyst and like a little tumor."

Teresa Giudice is dishing on how she scored a rare selfie with Taylor Swift at Coachella ... without even being a Swiftie.

Remember, the 'Real Housewives of New Jersey' star was in the same VIP section as the singer at weekend 1 of the music festival. Still, as Teresa recently told E! News ... she almost didn't approach Taylor, out of fear she'd bother the Grammy winner, especially since she wasn't a Swiftie.

Apparently, we have Teresa's husband Louie Ruelas to thank for the iconic pic ... as Teresa admitted he was the one who encouraged her to speak to Taylor. She added, "Jennifer Aydin [who’s] on my show, she loves her. I’m like, ‘All right. I’m doing this for Jennifer Aydin.'"

Kelly Osbourne had many of her fans scratching their heads Thursday, believing she was Kim Zolciak because it was virtually impossible to tell the two apart.

Here’s what happened … celebrity hairdresser Laura Rugetti posted a photo of Kelly on Instagram, which was the spitting image of Kim --  hair, face and all.

Talk about having an AI moment — but the only difference was Kelly’s picture was actually real and it faked out a bunch of her fans who rushed to comment on her headshot.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard believes in her heart of hearts she's Taylor Swift's new muse -- she's convinced one of the singer's new songs is all about her, or at the least ... inspired by her.

Sources connected to Gypsy tell TMZ ... GRB thinks Taylor’s new song "Fresh Out The Slammer" -- from her 'Tortured Poets Department' album -- might be about her December release from prison.

The reason she even suspects that ... we're told Gypsy sees a lot of similarities between the song lyrics and her real life -- almost to a T.

Jenelle Evans is looking for a fresh start amid her split from husband David Eason, and that has her considering a big move ... TMZ has learned.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Jenelle is thinking about a move from North Carolina down to Florida after visiting the Sunshine State last week. We're told she toured 2 or 3 homes in the Central Florida area ... not too far from fellow 'Teen Mom' star Briana DeJesus.

This explains why Jenelle and Briana were recently spotted together, but we're told she isn't planning a full-time return to the 'Teen Mom' franchise ... despite her recent appearance in a trailer for "Teen Mom: The Next Chapter."

Christine Quinn's husband has been formally charged over domestic violence incidents from back in March ... but TMZ has learned he's actually avoided felony charges.

The Los Angeles City Attorney's office tells us ... Christian Dumontet has been charged with three misdemeanors -- including child abuse/endangerment, assault, and violation of a protection order.

We're told the case was handed over to the City Attorney after the Los Angeles County D.A. concluded the case did not meet felony filing requirements -- but it was right up the City Attorney's alley, 'cause they're pursuing criminal charges.

Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie are getting ready to be reality TV stars all over again -- 'cause the 2000s darlings are teaming up anew to run it back ... but for a whole new project.

Production sources tell TMZ ... Paris and Nicole are both on board for a new series that they'll both star in, but we're told this ain't gonna be an exact duplicate of "The Simple Life," per se -- their famous show from back in the day that pretty much put them on the map.

Instead ... our sources tell us this is going to be something with a brand new name -- and while we don't have a sense of the premise just yet ... you can bet it'll be hilarious.

Farrah Abraham never seems to miss an opportunity to roast her nemesis Jenelle Evans ... and she kinda did again for her going back to 'Teen Mom' ... albeit, very politely.

The former reality star and content creator posted a video Wednesday that touched on the big news this week ... namely, that Jenelle is returning to MTV's hit show, and the one that made her famous years ago.

Farrah is somewhat sarcastic in her review of the update -- saying there's no one better to come back to the cast than JE ... while noting she doesn't think she'd go back to the show.

Andy Cohen swears he doesn't know if John Mayer's body's a wonderland ... as he tries to put rumors to rest he and the Grammy winner are getting it on.

The King of Bravo sat down and addressed it head-on when he was asked about longstanding speculation he and his buddy John might be more than just friends -- and, while he says he understands why it's a hot topic, he's gonna have to disappoint the rumor mill.

Andy told The Hollywood Reporter, "Let them speculate! I honestly love John Mayer, and he loves me. But because we’re so affectionate toward each other, people don’t know what box to put that in. They assume we’re sleeping with each other, which we are most definitely not."

Ariana Madix is on the outs with her "Vanderpump Rules" castmates, and it's all thanks to her cheating ex-bf Tom Sandoval ... or, at least, her continued reaction to his cheating.

The season 11 finale for 'VPR' aired Tuesday and it took a shocking turn ... with Ariana's costars turning against her for refusing to accept an on-camera apology from Sandoval.

Instead, Ariana walked out on production ... yelling at the show's executive producer for Sandoval intervening in a conversation she was having with Scheana Shay.

7:58 AM PT -- Kim Kardashian's full remarks on this topic are more nuanced than this clip suggests. She reportedly later said this ... "I sympathize with the people of Israel and with those in Palestine. I sympathize with everyone. All we want is for everyone to feel safe and free."

Kim added she has friends on both sides of this conflict, and that she talks to her kids about it too. Kim says she tells them, "Feel safe. And be good people and treat them with the same respectful way that you want to be treated. These are definitely scary times."

Kim Kardashian is catching flak for speaking up on the Palestine-Israel conflict and taking a both-sides approach -- a moment that was caught on camera thousands of miles from home.
