Image
GETTY IMAGES Last night, Kylie Jenner tweeted that she no longer really uses Snapchat after its controversial new update. "Does anyone else not open Snapchat anymore? Or is it just me... ugh this is so sad," she wrote before reaffirming "still love you tho snap ... my first love" in a second tweet.

He shared custody with the child's mother. "An infant can not defend herself," Hogan said. "A baby can not run away or call for help. A five-month old can not tell people what is happening to her.
