A total of eight women, including Trailer Park Boys actress Lucy DeCoutere, have come forward to the Toronto Star with horrifyingly detailed stories of escalating violence and sexual harassment at the hands of former CBC host Jian Ghomeshi.
Wresting the dark story away from TMZ, E! aired an "exclusive interview" with Here Comes Honey Boo Boo matriarch Mama June, who was finally forced to (sort of) address the deeply depressing rumor that she's back together with a convicted child molester who raped her oldest daughter.
A woman who briefly dated Jian Ghomeshi—the former CBC host accused of beating several women—tells the Canadian radio station that he ended their last date by throwing her on the ground and punching her over and over until she started crying.

Last March, a stunning 65 percent of local voters approved of Lee's handling of the job. Then the Google Bus protests happened, the cost of living kept rising, and…
