"The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City" star Mary Cosby and the church she runs with her husband, Robert Cosby Sr., are back in the spotlight ... this time accused of being a full-blown cult, according to a bombshell new TLC doc.

TMZ’s got your first look at the wild new trailer -- the three-parter dives deep into Mary’s eyebrow-raising marriage to her step-grandfather, Robert Cosby Sr., and the misconduct claims that dragged Faith Temple Pentecostal Church into one seriously controversial new chapter.

The docuseries gives the mic to former church members breaking their silence for the first time -- including longtime insiders of Faith Temple -- plus a top cult expert who lays out how tactics of control and loyalty enforcement can keep followers in line.

TLC's Chilli recently used Boyz II Men and Babyface as an example of a cautionary tale about artists failing after biting the hand that fed them -- but B2M's Wanya Morris is calling it a fairy tale that's completely made up!!!

An old July 2017 interview clip between Chilli and Grammy-winning engineer Leslie Brathwaite has been circulating on Instagram, which graced Wanya's radar on Tuesday night.

Wanya first hinted at betrayal on Chilli's part, writing "Damn sis, Lisa would never???" -- a reference to late TLC band member Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes, who was known to keep it real no matter what.

Honey Boo Boo's got a boo-boo -- her mom, June "Mama June" Shannon, revealed she was involved in a serious car accident Friday afternoon.

The reality star detailed the horrific crash in an Instagram video, revealing a young man T-boned Honey Boo Boo, real name Alana Thompson, as she was pulling out of the driveway of her Colorado residence. She gave the 23-year-old some credit, saying he admitted he was speeding down the road at 40 MPH when he hit her on the driver's side.

The TLC star was treated at the hospital but was able to return home ... and is now resting her aches and pains away.

Three members of the Putman reality television family have died in a tragic car accident, the family announced Saturday morning.

The devastating news was shared on the family's Instagram page, and they revealed "Papa, Neenee and Aunt Megan" have passed. While they did not say Papa's real name -- the family's patriarch, Bill Putman, was referred to as "Papa." His wife, Barb, was known as "Neenee."

Meanwhile, several family members -- Uncle Blake, Lulu, Alena, Noah, and Gia -- remain hospitalized.

Abby and Brittany Hensel stopped off for a snack with their newborn ... grabbing a bite to eat at McDonald's before heading off to work.

The dynamic duo were photographed walking around and holding a baby carrier ... wearing a tank top and a pair of jean shorts.

The two chatted and laughed with a friend before giving a goodbye hug, putting the carrier in the back and hopping into their gray Tesla ... after which it seems they drove up to grab some food at the popular fast food chain.

Abby and Brittany Hensel are deep in family mode with Abby’s hubby Josh Bowling -- weeks after welcoming their first kid ... and even the family dog joined the outing.

The famous conjoined twins were spotted keeping it low-key over the weekend in their Minnesota hometown -- dropping their labradoodle at the groomer while Josh handled a grocery run at the local market.

The whole crew looked happy and settled -- truly in the thick of family life. With a newborn in the mix, things are clearly busy.

"Breaking Amish" star Mama Mary Schmucker has died after a battle with cancer ... TMZ has learned.

Mama Mary died Friday at her home in Pennsylvania, the result of cancer complications ... according to her son, Andrew Schmucker.

We're told Mama Mary was briefly hospitalized this week before passing away at her home. The cancer had spread over her body.

TLC's Chilli is ready to kick off 2025 in style at Times Square ... giving us the latest on prepping for "Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest" and why the moment will be extra bittersweet.

Chilli joined us on "TMZ Live" and shared how this Big Apple performance holds a lot of meaning for her and T-Boz -- especially since their last trip to Times Square in 2002 was to honor their late bandmate, Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes, shortly after her tragic death.

But, Chilli says it's not all tears and sadness ... there’s plenty of fun to be had as she gears up to bring the party to Times Square.

Josh Duggar's attempt to overturn his child pornography conviction in the U.S. Supreme Court has been rejected ... the justices declined to even hear his appeal.

The U.S. Supreme Court denied Josh's attempt at an appeal on Monday, which comes after he also lost, back in October, in the U.S. Court of Appeals.

The Supreme Court did not explain the reasoning behind its decision ... though that's not necessarily uncommon.

Deon and Karen Derrico -- stars of TLC's "Doubling Down With The Derricos" -- are officially divorced after a judge signed off on the split ... and yes, that means it's already official.

The couple filed for divorce on June 4 and received the judgment two days later on June 6 ... splitting legal and physical custody of their 13 minor children equally between the two parents.

According to the court documents, obtained by TMZ, Deon will pay $1,166 a month in child support while Karen won't pay any child support because she will bear the responsibility of the kids' medical insurance.

Halyna Hutchins' family's attorney is pissed about Alec Baldwin's new reality show ... side-eyeing the timing of the announcement and referring to it as a public relations stunt.

Gloria Allred -- who's repping members of the late cinematographer's family -- tells TMZ ... she's not buying any sort of coincidence in the announcement's release coming just a month before his involuntary manslaughter criminal trial begins.

She says, "This appears to me, to be a calculated and cynical public relations move to try to influence the jury pool in New Mexico to think of him as a sympathetic family man rather than as the killer of Halyna Hutchins, who was the beloved daughter of our clients Olga Solovey, Halyna’s mother, Anatolii Androsovych, Halyna’s father, and Svetlana Zemko, Halyna’s sister."

Big Ed Brown and Liz Woods have called it quits again ... and it seems to be for real this time.

During Sunday's episode of "90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?" Big Ed explains his decision to pull the plug on his forthcoming nuptials to his on-again, off-again love.

As he puts it, he and Liz had an argument over taco pasta ... leaving Ed seriously pissed off.

Conjoined twins Abby and Brittany Hensel hit the town for the first time since news broke about one of them getting hitched -- and they're rocking the wedding ring here too.

The sisters left a Mexican restaurant in St. Paul, MN Saturday -- and as they were strolling away, Abby was chatting on the phone ... placing it between their ears while also flashing her diamond engagement ring and wedding band from her 2021 nuptials to Josh Bowling.

As you can see, the ring is actually on Abby's side of their body (the right side) as opposed to Brittany's (the left side). Their left ring finger is bare ... which we suppose makes sense.

Las siamesas Abby y Brittany Hensel fueron vistas por primera vez desde que se conoció la noticia de que una de ellas se había casado, y aquí también aparecen luciendo el anillo.

Las hermanas fueron a un restaurante mexicano en St. Paul, Minnesota, el sábado y mientras se iban del lugar, Abby iba hablando por teléfono, mientras lucía su anillo de compromiso de diamantes y el de bodas por sus nupcias de 2021 con Josh Bowling.

Como se puede ver, el anillo está en realidad en el lado de Abby del cuerpo (el lado derecho). El dedo anular izquierdo de Brittany está desnudo, lo que suponemos tiene sentido.

Garrison Brown's legacy as a cat dad will never be forgotten, as "Sister Wives" fans give buckets of money to the cause near and dear to the late TLC personality ... TMZ has learned.

Liz Olson of High Country Humane tells TMZ ... people from all over the world have donated to the animal shelter in the week since Garrison died by suicide. The cat org received donations totaling more than $13K ... and counting!

She confirms she's the one who alerted Garrison's mother, Janelle Brown, to the outpouring of support ... and then, Janelle shared her emotional reaction this week to that uplifting news.

Garrison and High Country Humane knew each other well -- Liz tells us he adopted 3 of his cats -- including new addition Ms. Buttons -- from the shelter in the last 2 years.

In response to the generosity displayed by Garrison's followers, HCH has launched an initiative in his name that will help cats get adopted throughout the month of March.

Specifically, the money will cover adoption fees for any of the cats rescued during this effort.

The tributes don't stop there ... Liz tells us the org also plans to rename its cat adoption room in his honor. There will be a plaque unveiling and everything at their 5-year anniversary celebration this month.

Ark Cat Sanctuary is also getting monetary support after Garrison's passing. Cat Roberts, yes that's really her name, tells TMZ ... the org's  received more than $500 in donations from people all over the globe, including some in Australia and Scotland.

Cat believes the support from Garrison's fans will help them stay open this year ... after receiving $30K less in grant money for 2024. She says the biggest help has been people purchasing items like wet food and kitten milk replacement from the sanctuary's Amazon wish list.

It's a small silver lining on an otherwise tragic story.

2:34 PM PT -- Janelle Brown acaba de abordar la muerte de su hijo Garrison en redes sociales, donde publicó una foto de su hijo con el mensaje: "Kody y yo estamos profundamente tristes de anunciar la pérdida de nuestro hermoso niño Robert Garrison Brown. Él era una luz en la vida de todos los que lo conocían".

Y añade: "Su pérdida dejará un hueco tan grande en nuestras vidas que nos deja sin aliento. Les pedimos que por favor respeten nuestra privacidad y se unan a nosotros para honrar su memoria".

El hijo de Janelle Brown, Garrison, ha muerto y parece que su muerte se debe a un aparente suicidio, según ha averiguado TMZ.

La estrella de "Sister Wives", que ha aparecido junto a su madre y su padre, Kody Brown, en la exitosa serie de TLC en los últimos años, falleció el martes en Flagstaff, Arizona, donde tenía su propia casa después de haberse alejado de su familia.

La policía de Flagstaff nos dice que los oficiales llegaron a la casa de Garrison el martes por la mañana debido a una muerte y cuando llegaron lo descubrieron sin vida en la escena. Nos dicen que Garrison parece haber sufrido una herida de bala autoinfligida.

Nos dicen que no se sospecha de crimen violento y por ahora la policía está investigando el suceso como un aparente suicidio. La policía de la ciudad dice que el hermano de Garrison, Gabriel, llegó a la casa y lo encontró allí. No se sabe si dejó una nota, una investigación está en marcha.

Garrison ha aparecido en "Sister Wives" desde que se emitió por primera vez en 2010, cuando era solo un niño. La serie narra el estilo de vida polígamo de su padre Kody, quien tiene múltiples esposas. Janelle fue una de ellas hasta que se divorciaron el año pasado.

En cuanto a Garrison, él es uno de los muchos hijos de Kody, y tiene varios hermanos y medios hermanos, muchos de los cuales también aparecen en el programa. En total, es el cuarto hijo de Kody y Janelle. Tiene 5 hermanos directos y otros dos hermanastros de diferentes matrimonios.

Al principio, él y su familia vivieron en Utah, pero con el tiempo se trasladaron a Las Vegas, y cuando llegó a la mayoría de edad mostró interés en alistarse en las fuerzas armadas. Aunque quería alistarse en el Ejército, acabó haciéndolo en la Guardia Nacional.

Garrison se fue de la casa de sus padres hace unos años, durante la pandemia, en medio de una gran disputa familiar sobre el COVID y las estrictas normas que Kody imponía.

Al final, Garrison terminó comprando su propia casa en Arizona y ha vivido allí desde 2021. El tipo era bastante activo en las redes sociales, documentando su vida y sus mascotas.

Su última publicación en Instagram lo mostraba con un nuevo gato al que había dado la bienvenida en su casa, un felino que llamó Sra. Buttons. La describió de esta manera: "La nueva incorporación de mi hogar, la Sra. Buttons. Tiene 9 años y estaba en la fila de la eutanasia, pero mi complejo de salvador no pudo ser suficiente".

Es una tragedia absoluta para sus seres queridos, especialmente para Janelle, que acaba de anunciar que recientemente experimentó un susto de cáncer y tuvo que someterse a la extirpación de dos manchas precancerosas.

A Garrison le sobreviven muchos familiares y seres queridos. Solo tenía 25 años.

Que en paz descanse.
