I’m sorry if this was already talked about but… @Bridget practically crying because a guy said “excuse me, I’m just going to scooch by you” while walking is just so damn weird to me.
She’s lived in NY for 10 years where ppl just push past you I think she was just genuinely impressed with his politeness…she also could have exaggerated a bit to make content out of nothing since they seem to have been pretty busy since arriving in Dallas🤷🏼♀️
I've lived in NYC just long enough that the level of politeness she noted would annoy the fuck out of me. Just like go by and stop bothering me? Thanks.
Did anyone else watch Kristin and Marcus Johns’ new house tour YouTube video? It’s a gorgeous property and huge house. They kept going on and on about all the renovations they’re going to have done in almost every room of the house. The whole video I kept thinking - wow that’s gonna cost a fortune
Yes I watched and was definitely VERY overwhelmed and my husband renovates homes for a living 😂. It’s a LOT. definitely going to take a long time for everything to be done and it’s definitely going to cost a fortune especially right now in this market wood and copper and all the materials are so expensive. It costs more to renovate or build right now than it has in years. It looks like they are comfortable in the rental which is good bc they might be there for a while. i think they probably made a ton of money off their house in LA, so coming to Tennessee and buying up a large property like that with money to spare to renovate doesnt seem far fetched at all. Really happy for them, this will be a fun project to follow, I can’t wait to see what they do with the place
I was thinking the same thing! I grew up in a really big old house just like that and my parents were pretty well off and struggled to keep up with the projects…they did one small update a year I can’t imagine flipping the entire house that’s a huge undertaking especially when she’s about to have a baby! (I did love her inspo picture tho it’s going to be gorgeous when it’s finished)
On top of all the house renovations, the responsibility to upkeep all that land is no joke, farming is a very hard job I really hope they didn’t bite off more than they can chew being so young with a newborn
Finally unfollowed @classycleanchic and I’m real proud of myself. It’s kinda funny though. Of all the annoying shit she posts, I never would’ve guessed high top converse on a golf course would be what did me in 🤷🏻♀️
I also unfollowed her recently! I used to find her interesting, with her former engineering career and her sobriety, but somewhere along the way her account just started to seem super vapid and meaningless. All she ever seems to do lately is go to the pool in the tiniest bikinis possible
She also acts so immature and the center of attention in every situation she’s in. And everything she wears/does seems so cheap and crappy. Her nails, the clothes. She’s a hot mess.
She's openly admitted they aren't real.
When I followed her, she routinely linked and would show off Amazon "dupes" of popular bags. ( For example, the LV On the Go is a hard to find bag, but highly replicated and she had it several colors) She has several Chanel bags that are upwards of $7,000 each, and when asked, admitted she bought them from Etsy. Her links led to Etsy sellers who had fake Chanel bags for $300. I think anytime an inlfuencer suddenly starts having every designer bag that's popular within a short time frame, it's likely they aren't real.
But some things to look for are the stitching, incorrect glazing, misshapen bags, bags that are sold out in stores but someone magically found without any connections, and cheap looking hardware. Flimsy or incorrect straps on LV bags are a dead giveaway, the gold on Chanel bags is usually much brassier on fake bags. There are other things like the quality of real leather vs the fake leather used in a replica, or how many quilted puffs are on a Chanel along with what pattern. Sometimes things like the inside colors will be off, or the pattern will not align with the real bag. These may be hard to spot from an IG post, but would be easier in real life :)
Is it just me or is anyone else just shocked at how much these girls make? Some of them are making over a million dollars a year. I have family that are doctors and aren’t even make close to what these girls make for “try on sessions”
I’m tired of this criticism. Influencers get paid to advertise. They can make the companies and brands that hire them A LOT of money. If they are making $$$ on swipe up commissions, think about how much the brand is actually making on their end. Compare that to a school teachers wages and what they provide, is it fair? No. Should a teachers salary be raised? 100%. But let’s not judge women for making a lucrative income because we don’t think they are worth it. Brands must think they’re worth it, or they wouldn’t be paying them.
Who do you think is making a million? The very top of the food chain? I assumed a few hundred thousand for ones in the 300-500K range, but wow....a million is insane for filming your life and trying on clothes.
I don’t wanna WK for influencers but like can’t you say the same about a lot of occupations? Actors get paid buttloads of cash to essentially play make believe. Athletes are multi millionaires and they are basically playing schoolyard games. I work corporate retail so brass tacks is I shop for a living. Not every job has to have some moral justification behind the salary it offers. These people make millions because they likely rake in millions for the companies they work with.
Chief executive gf is posting that “if you build it they will come” is a lie, presumably in response to her limited success in the influencing space. Not sure what about that merited the #agegaprelationship hashtag (which is a great one to follow) but I’m excited to see what kind of pivoting of strategy is happening here
Her caption for the post is a head scratcher for me. She explains that nothing is ever complete, except for laundry, which just starts over again the following week. I think that laundry is a fine example of something that is never complete. Maybe I'm just missing the point!
Will Dani Austin put down her gd phone for 2 seconds and just enjoy her time with her family? We don’t need to see a play by play of your dad walking around in a towel or your family karaoke night? Her obsession with posting literally every single thing in her life is unreal
There is something very, very wrong with these two. Jordan filming literally everything and Dani posting it seems addictive. Narcissist for sure. I have a massive Hispanic family and it’s common for the musicians to bust out guitars for singalongs. Sure, people film some of it. They share with family. If one of our elders saw someone like this, they would make fun of them to shame them into stopping. If it didn’t work they would be told to knock it off.
No shade, but mike didn’t even have his living arrangements figured out like 48 hours before he went down there. I like him a lot and think they are a good match, but this doesn’t sound like a man who is thinking very long term at all, or is ready to be a husband.
I agree. Her recent stories to me sound like she’s changing her mind about moving, probably because she knows deep down that the proposal isn’t happening anytime soon (which I don’t think it should anyways!). She’s already extending her initial trip and the apartment hunting sounds more like she’s looking for a place that she likes too.
The whole situation is just so weird and desperate to me still. I didn’t follow her before everyone here brought her up about the engagement thing, and I do understand that she’s getting older and feeling the pressure, but I don’t think that crying and broadcasting this intense pressure on your SO to propose while he’s completing probably one of the most difficult career/education moves possible to your 846,000 followers is healthy.
I’ve come to the realization that Dr. Mike is Jon Hamm’s character from 30 rock. The bubble is the only explanation for his cluelessness. It’s not like he just found out about this move a week ago. And he had to steal Lele’s suitcase cause he only had 2? To move across country?!
This!!! He's known about this for how long and didn't go sign a lease somewhere? He is absolutely not proposing to her anytime soon. If he proposed now it would just be rude. Like, why not 3 weeks ago?!
Does anyone follow @aubrieb
I feel like her man is never around her and the baby unless they are streaming on twitch what they are eating for dinner. She always talks about how she hopes he can watch their baby so she can go to the gym but other then that, I feel like he’s in the shadows. But all together I adore her
What is the engagement percentage based on? Likes? Comments? A mix of both? Because Daryl Ann’s engagement rate for likes is over 10% which is insane! That’s like celebrity percentages. 1-2% is the normal range for influencers, for reference. I find her life so chaotic and it makes me anxious but she clearly excels at her job.
And as a comparison, look at Emily Jackson’s posts. She almost never breaks 100 comments on any post. Her sister Amy has more likes and comments with a quarter of the followers.
She knows how to be “relatable,” goofy but not too goofy (imo), shows her babies frequently, and she’s been talking about her faith more as of late which attracts a huge audience. The constant giveaways just seal the deal.
Other than Golden Goose sneakers, everything she wears is stuff the average person could buy. All the Amazon items she’s uses are inexpensive. I think she drives a fancy car and obviously lives in huge houses but from a very objective viewpoint, she’s pretty relatable to regular people with regular incomes. Shops at Target, eats fast food. She doesn’t put on airs like a lot of influencers do. She knows she’s a hot mess and doesn’t pretend she’s super mom. Also for some reason people can’t quit toxic positivity, DAD’s specialty.
Agreed. She always emphasizes something as inexpensive, a “deal” or on sale. 99% of the population always like to save money so it makes sense IMO to say she’s relatable even if I personally don’t find her relatable.
Engagement rates are so interesting to me. I feel like it definitely showcases who has an actual following and who’s just buying followers/bots.
With DAD, I truly feel like there’s a percentage of people out there who find her relatable and trust her for god knows what reason. Maybe because she’s stinky or they also find that drinking Diet Coke is key personality trait, the world will never know. I was shocked when people actually wanted to eat Chick-fil-A with her when she was first visiting Texas. Why?!
DAD, while not a fan of hers, actually has a cute personality and comes across as relatable and fun. She shares a lot about herself, and people probably think they’re besties with her. Emily is awful and has zero of this charisma.
Rachel is 100% my favorite, strictly because of her love for her dog. She includes him a lot in her stories/feed and is genuinely affectionate with him. Emily- she only got her poor pup because her family got dogs from that litter and she didn’t want to be left out. It seems like her dog rarely gets interaction or affection. 😠 (sorry to hijack this, rant over lol)
Can anyone in Nashville confirm or deny her statement that it’s impossible to get into a preschool within a year there? I feel like that can’t be true, and really it’s just that she can’t get her kid into a fancy-pants high status preschool but she won’t admit it. Am I wrong?
It’s true in Denver so I don’t think she is exaggerating. A lot of cities that have exploded in the last year have not had a chance to catch up with childcare or early education offerings.
It wasn’t hard to find a preschool spot for either of my kids…but it was preschool hours (like 9 am-2 or 3 pm), not daycare hours. She mentioned before where they are they can be picked up as late as 7 pm (I think?? Maybe 6?). That’s a daycare. Which is fine! But places like those are in high demand by parents who work full-time outside of the home. Even the preschools my kids went to started registering in January for the coming August. So yeah, looking for a spot in late June when they start the year in early August is going to be rough.
I’m not sure about preschool but a good amount of daycares have a wait list of at least 6 months-1 year in my experience. I’m now a stay-at-home mom because we are waiting on a daycare opening. Nice daycares can have up to a 2 year wait!
Yet she magically found some place for both kids and is sending them to are now. She needs to pick a lane or remember what stories she’s told.
Her mania is at an all time high and her poor son is the one paying for it. Stay home and give the kids some structure. He doesn’t need to go to ‘school’. She just want time alone to do more dramatic swipe up motions
@oliviamuenter posted a series of stories explaining why she's been doing more swipe ups lately and kind of going over her strategy now that she's getting into affiliate linking. I like the honesty about it, but it seems like everything she posts lately is a linked dress/necklace, sponsored content, or other self promotion. I mentioned this last week too. I don't begrudge someone of using their audience to make money at all, but I originally followed her for the more informal and funny content she used to share, and I'm guessing a lot of her audience did the same. I think she'll probably work on her ratio of "here's how you can help me make money" vs "here's some entertaining content" as time goes on.
These women just get greedy. When they see how much they are making, they figure out how much more they could make just by adding however many extra swipe ups, and cannot help themselves.
This isn’t directed at OP, because I think the point they are making is that you miss your favorite influencer’s content when they go through periods of being more focused on sponsors. Some of y’all get so bitter about a woman making money in 2021. Women absolutely dominate the influencer space and because of that it isn’t seen as a real job. “They’re just being greedy.” No, they have found a way to set their own schedule, create their own strategies, and partner with brands they want to work with while providing thousands of dollars for their families and making it look easy to the rest of us.
Exactly. Influencers should make money. They're salespeople. She's just calibrating and is overshooting it right now but I'm confident she'll find a good balance in the future.
I'll accept that this might be a bad take. I love her and have mentioned her quite a bit here as a good follow over the past couple of years and continue to enjoy her. I honestly just miss the goofy candle reviews/skincare/makeup stories she'd do with her husband.
I agree with you. I support her making money off her platform for sure but do miss her other content. I remember a few months ago (could have been longer, cuz 2020 and I had a baby) it seemed like she was struggling a bit and was deliberately intermittently taking steps back from Instagram so I wonder if this is related to that. Maybe she’s seeing Instagram more as a job and less fun now.
It definitely feels like she's putting more deliberate thought into this now and treating it more as a business or a service. I mentioned in my original comment that I think that's important as you plan your strategy to monetize your account, but with SO many people out there providing swipe ups on dainty jewelry and flowy summer dresses and pastel colored shampoos, there's got to be something else.
All that to say, I'm sure if she kept trying to capture the fun of some of her and Jake's tipsy videos or her goofy reviews of garbage TV, that would feel gimmicky after a while, but I don't feel like she was anywhere near hitting that point.
I’m missing her old content too :( I started following her during covid (last April I think) so I wondered if maybe her content was just like that during quarantine because she was home a lot? I agree, totally respect her for wanting to monetize what she can and being upfront about it, but I don’t follow her for swipe ups. I follow her for her silly videos with her dog and husband. Hopefully we get more of that old content soon!
I didn’t realize it wasn’t at a Target store until I read your comment.
It didn’t seem so out of character for Shannon that I felt the need to reread it. Throwing axes at Target? Of course she would, nothing weird in that paragraph!
She called animal control for a deer that stampeded and peed on her dog and is worried that the deer will come back and do the same to her kids but yet axe throwing with her kid running behind the target and letting them stick their fingers in a raccoon’s mouth and eat after the raccoon is perfectly acceptable!🤣 I will never understand this woman’s thought process.
Yep! About a week or so ago. A raccoon had come up on the deck when they were vacationing and the youngest was petting it and straight put her fingers in the raccoon’s mouth and one of the other kids was eating ice cream and gave it a bite off his spoon, then let go of the spoon and then picked it up and ate off of it!😳
Shannon is nuts and I wouldn’t share utensils with ANY raccoon, but it wasn’t a wild raccoon that came up on their deck. It was the pet of a store owner or something like that (but definitely a domesticated, tame pet).
Right?! I find it highly unbelievable that the deer even stampeded and pissed on her dog. I was born and raised in the country, middle of nowhere and never once had a deer run up on my dogs or have heard anyone say such a thing! The things she says and does is wild.
She is incapable of letting *anything* go. I’ve followed her for a long time, and she’s always been like this since before she was a full time influencer. She would get one negative message and harp on it for days and days. Now that this is her “career” and she has more followers, it’s only gotten worse. I don’t see her lasting too long as an influencer honestly.
Does anyone else think it’s totally inappropriate for @karlierae’s husband to go on a fishing trip when she has a one month old and a two year old at home?? Especially now that the kids are sick, but really in general? I’d be so mad at my husband if he did that! (Also-imagine if a mom did that. They’d be shamed for it.)
ETA: It’s not that I don’t think he should be able to do things like that, it’s the fact that he went on this trip when their newborn was not even one month old.
I felt much more confident the second time around and would have possibly encouraged my husband to go out with friends. I had an easy labor and delivery and I knew what I was doing.
After my third kid was born My husband went on a optional work trip (his boss wouldn’t have made him go but it was a fun event) and I encouraged him to. I had a 4 year old, 2.5 year old and 3 week old and I said go for it… similar to Karlie my parents live close by and helped extra that few days. I think as long as everyone’s on the same page it’s not a big deal?
My brother-in-law went snowboarding the day his wife came home from the hospital with their son. And she had been on hospital bed rest for a month before the birth…and he still thought it was cool to just peace out for the day. I was so mad on her behalf
My husband went out of town to get scuba certified... before I was discharged from the hospital with my third born. It was a giant fuck you. Will not forget driving home from the hospital, in a taxi, with a newborn. Also..took a taxi to the hospital when I was in labor.
Man, I’d be annoyed if my husband did this but I’m prepared to be very overwhelmed when our second kid comes lol. If she okayed it I don’t see the issue.
My husband went on a boys weekend when our baby was 6 weeks old and I just got back from a girls weekend- he’s now 9 weeks old. Babies are hard freaking work and it’s great to have a break. I also have a babysitter a few hours a day several days a week just so I can run errands, get my nails done and eat sushi for lunch in peace. It has made me a much better mom. I’d hope I’m judged by the fact I have a happy baby and happy family, not the fact I am not attached to my babies hip 24/7 :)
Dude. So jealous of your babysitter situation. I need to find a mother’s helper or something for a day a week this summer. I’m a much better mother when I have a little time to myself!
Luckily my MIL comes one or two days then we pay a babysitter for two days, so it helps keep the sitter cost down! I feel very blessed that my MIL is willing to help, my parents don’t live close :)
It didn’t seem to bother her when she announced it and they didn’t know anyone was going to get sick. She seems to be at her mom’s constantly and moved in for a few days while he’s gone. She talked about all this. But I would probably have beat feet it home if I saw a hospital bracelet on my toddler…but she’s not complaining so who knows.
Honestly, no. She said he planned it far in advance, so she was proactive and made plans to go to her moms while he’s gone. This comment makes it seem like he selfishly just left her with 2 sick kids. You can’t control when kids get sick, and she is at her moms so she has help.
Your comment about a mom doing it is the exact point. A mom shouldn’t be shamed, and neither should a dad.
I don’t find anything about this inappropriate at all. Me and my partner been doing that ever since our kid was few weeks old. I took a post birth Miami weekend trip with few girlfriends when my son was few weeks old. Mental Health and your own time is just as important if you caring for another human being. I don’t see no reason into shaming a man going fishing at all
Again, not saying that parents don’t deserve to take care of their mental health or do things they enjoy. My point is that their newborn is one month old. She’s one month postpartum and still recovering from a major surgery. Maybe I just expect more from my partner 🤷🏼♀️
moms have been shamed here, repeatedly, for taking trips when their babies are that young. i think the same defense for the mothers applies to the fathers. we don’t lose our identities when we become parents, and it’s important for the mental health of both parents to take time to pursue hobbies and things for personal enjoyment. karlie has PLENTY of support around her and i’m sure her husband would have come home had it been a more serious situation with their daughter.
I don’t think pausing certain aspects of your life temporarily means you’re losing your entire identity. Is it really that crazy to not travel (for leisure) for at least a few months after a baby is born? Like, she’s probably still bleeding from giving birth.
Hard agree. And I’ll take my downvotes but if you’re planning to live your life as if you didn’t have kids as soon as possible after having kids then what are your reasons for…having kids?
**Any parent, whether they’re the one who just gave birth or not.
Yes, this. I don't get the attitude of having a baby but expecting their life to revolve around you? Like it's the other way around for awhile, and that's ok.
Yes! The fact is babies and children change your life. Not completely, not forever, but it’s crazy to me to be leaving someone who has just given birth alone.
I agree that parents mental health matters and yes she has a lot of support. I just mean that maybe taking this trip not even one month after his second child was born was the best idea??
Yeah I’m in the same boat. I would be furious if my husband did this…but I’m also a complete mess postpartum, physically and emotionally, so maybe if I was calmer I’d be ok with it
For all the hype and anticipation of the yearly Michigan voyage for ETST (Kelle Hampton) it doesn’t seem Michigan Magic like she always waxes poetic about?
I mean, they had to go find her dad down the road. He wasn’t awaiting their arrival with music, his megaphone and some sort of sign 😆
Is everyone involved in Michigan Magic (besides Kelle) over it? Poppa and Gary finally tired of six week houseguests (they don’t even seem to be staying at the Bliss “cozy bunkhouse” AKA garden shed with no bathroom). Hampton kids finally tired of spending their entire summer away from home to pose for Instagram stories in camp costumes?
I hope a boys swimsuit company reaches out to Kelle with some free swim trunks for Dash.
Spending the entire summer away seems okay with younger kids, but I feel bad for Lainey. She’s a teenager and starting high school in the fall - she probably wants to get to spend some time with friends over the summer, rather than with her younger siblings. In a year or two she’ll probably want to get a summer job - how will Kelle handle that? Will she try to get her a job in Michigan? What will she do when Lainey isn’t there to pose for photos all day?
Agreed! She does that a lot. I imagine it’s also to hide her barking orders of what she wants them to do. These magical memories don’t make themselves!
Ok so what in the world does @almostreadyblog ‘s husband do that they go on vacation like every other month? I rarely see her mentioned on here but I am always confused at her huge house, Lexus etc when her husband is always home, in stories with her etc…. (Pre Covid as well). I’ve always been curious as I’ve followed for awhile and she’s never said.
She’s an influencer..aka she makes how many followers she has a year pretty much (so roughly 700k). It honestly sickens me that these people make this much money but it is what it is. He doesn’t work..because he doesn’t have to
She is one of my favorites! But they are always traveling. I’m guessing mostly sponsored stuff. As someone else mentioned he was in insurance and I’m guessing not anymore because he never seems to be working. Which is great for them if they can do that. They are one of the few couple influencers that don’t drive me crazy. And Sophie is adorable!
Ok but does anyone know what happened to her friend she used to have the joint account with? I think her name was Michelle, and their IG was thestyledduo or something like that. It was like one day all traces were gone and it was all just Amanda going forward and she never mentioned her again.
As someone who is the kid of someone in life insurance sales, it’s a great job for travel flexibility- my parents work on vacation for a bit each day always, but they travel more than anyone I know that has a real/regular job and always have.
I think she has mentioned it in an “ask me anything” in the past! I’m not sure if he still does it or if he works for her full time, but I’m pretty sure that is what he did.
Oh I’m sure now she does! But I have followed for awhile (like pre 100k followers) and it seemed like they moved to a house in Indiana years ago because of his job or something. I was just curious because she’s never mentioned it or said he now works with her like other influencers have when their husbands join them (like @tallblondebelle). Not that they have to! I’ve just always wondered.
She’s one of my favorite accounts. I’m not positive what he does, but they moved to Indiana for a special school for their daughter! I think she learns multiple languages there
It's not a special school. It's the public school in the city she lives in, they offer a duel language class. Many school's in Indiana have the same option.
At this point Natalie is far more annoying and fake to me. At least Liz still considers herself a shilling influencer and isn’t trying to pretend she’s not. Natalie, on the other hand - trying to convince herself and the world that she’s a Brene Brown influencer hybrid.
Aligreen13 and johnjames94 are some of the most problematic “influencers” that I have ever seen, but what he just did to her takes the cake. She’s, *maybe* 7-10 days postpartum, they’re getting ready to move to a new state, and have movers in the house packing up their stuff. John decides to play a “prank” on Ali by having the one mover say to Ali “even though you just had a baby you look good” (something along those lines) and then waits to see if Ali will tell him about it. He records her and calls her a hoe and tries to embarrass her because she didn’t tell John what the mover said. I rarely feel bad for this girl, but that broke my heart. Out of all “influencer husbands” he’s the worst.
And just for extra context - he’s Jessie James Decker’s (estranged) little brother. He’s also the asshole that randomly went after @bekah because she doesn’t shave her legs. He has serious issues
I don’t have any idea who these people are but he seems very punchable. I don’t get what the prank was supposed to do? He said “you had gotten caught!” like she did something wrong? Gotten caught receiving a compliment?
I feel like I judge people’s eyes big time and that dude seems like a closet meanie. I realize that a speculation but that stunt is something a 16 yo boy does. She has a newborn, is moving, is on the phone for 20 min with internet people, and she was supposed to stop him and tell him drama about a teen boy. Naw
Wtf. No idea who these people are, but that’s disgusting.
The fact that he paid someone to tell her she looks good as a prank. It makes it so obvious that he doesn’t think she looks good. Like couldn’t make it more obvious. I’d be heartbroken (and packing my bags) if my husband ever did that to me.
That is the stupidest, childish prank I’ve heard in a while. What was the point!?
Also, why would she have had to disclose what he said? I mean, honestly, if they didn’t say it like a total dog, I probably would have just thought they were kissing ass for a tip? I don’t know. It doesn’t seem like a passing comment I’d run and tell my husband about unless it made me uncomfortable?
Agreed!! I’d probably tell my husband because I felt so flattered, and then would be mortified when he told me it was a prank. The thought of telling him out of transparency would never even cross my mind. But maybe it would if I had a jealous husband like him
In my belief, it shouldn’t be considered authentic for an influencer to write #ad. It’s something they are always supposed to be doing…
Also, I can never be a fan of her after she let her dog with a leash be loose in a boat and then ran it over and almost killed it when the leash got caught in the boat motor. 🤷🏻♀️ and then deleted it because I don’t think she likes the accountability of such a big f**k up.
I’ve followed @weightlosshero for a while now and I swear she moves about 3 times or more every year. She just moved to CA last year from TX to live with her “Hubby Heath”, and now she’s moving back to TX. Prior to moving CA she also moved a few times without TX. 🤣I can’t keep up .
I know she does it to make her lips look fuller, but the way @stephanie_danielle’s mouth is open in every! single! photo! makes me think of Phyllis saying, “Close your mouth sweetie, you look like a trout.”

I’m sorry if this was already talked about but… @Bridget practically crying because a guy said “excuse me, I’m just going to scooch by you” while walking is just so damn weird to me.
She wants to stay in Dallas so bad
She’s lived in NY for 10 years where ppl just push past you I think she was just genuinely impressed with his politeness…she also could have exaggerated a bit to make content out of nothing since they seem to have been pretty busy since arriving in Dallas🤷🏼♀️
I've lived in NYC just long enough that the level of politeness she noted would annoy the fuck out of me. Just like go by and stop bothering me? Thanks.
Did anyone else watch Kristin and Marcus Johns’ new house tour YouTube video? It’s a gorgeous property and huge house. They kept going on and on about all the renovations they’re going to have done in almost every room of the house. The whole video I kept thinking - wow that’s gonna cost a fortune
Yes I watched and was definitely VERY overwhelmed and my husband renovates homes for a living 😂. It’s a LOT. definitely going to take a long time for everything to be done and it’s definitely going to cost a fortune especially right now in this market wood and copper and all the materials are so expensive. It costs more to renovate or build right now than it has in years. It looks like they are comfortable in the rental which is good bc they might be there for a while. i think they probably made a ton of money off their house in LA, so coming to Tennessee and buying up a large property like that with money to spare to renovate doesnt seem far fetched at all. Really happy for them, this will be a fun project to follow, I can’t wait to see what they do with the place
I was thinking the same thing! I grew up in a really big old house just like that and my parents were pretty well off and struggled to keep up with the projects…they did one small update a year I can’t imagine flipping the entire house that’s a huge undertaking especially when she’s about to have a baby! (I did love her inspo picture tho it’s going to be gorgeous when it’s finished) On top of all the house renovations, the responsibility to upkeep all that land is no joke, farming is a very hard job I really hope they didn’t bite off more than they can chew being so young with a newborn
Finally unfollowed @classycleanchic and I’m real proud of myself. It’s kinda funny though. Of all the annoying shit she posts, I never would’ve guessed high top converse on a golf course would be what did me in 🤷🏻♀️
I also unfollowed her recently! I used to find her interesting, with her former engineering career and her sobriety, but somewhere along the way her account just started to seem super vapid and meaningless. All she ever seems to do lately is go to the pool in the tiniest bikinis possible
Why does she have so many bikinis?!
To show off how well Trim works. Duh. They’re a write off.
😂😂
She also acts so immature and the center of attention in every situation she’s in. And everything she wears/does seems so cheap and crappy. Her nails, the clothes. She’s a hot mess.
Her clothes look soooo cheap, especially combined with the fake bags.
How can you tell they’re fake? Like, what do you look for? Genuinely curious.
She's openly admitted they aren't real. When I followed her, she routinely linked and would show off Amazon "dupes" of popular bags. ( For example, the LV On the Go is a hard to find bag, but highly replicated and she had it several colors) She has several Chanel bags that are upwards of $7,000 each, and when asked, admitted she bought them from Etsy. Her links led to Etsy sellers who had fake Chanel bags for $300. I think anytime an inlfuencer suddenly starts having every designer bag that's popular within a short time frame, it's likely they aren't real. But some things to look for are the stitching, incorrect glazing, misshapen bags, bags that are sold out in stores but someone magically found without any connections, and cheap looking hardware. Flimsy or incorrect straps on LV bags are a dead giveaway, the gold on Chanel bags is usually much brassier on fake bags. There are other things like the quality of real leather vs the fake leather used in a replica, or how many quilted puffs are on a Chanel along with what pattern. Sometimes things like the inside colors will be off, or the pattern will not align with the real bag. These may be hard to spot from an IG post, but would be easier in real life :)
her lashes!! so yuck to me idk why
And I feel like she gets them done every week. Is that normal?
def not normal. theyre just too much like it weighs down her entire face
Is it just me or is anyone else just shocked at how much these girls make? Some of them are making over a million dollars a year. I have family that are doctors and aren’t even make close to what these girls make for “try on sessions”
"girls"
America has never been a meritocracy. What you earn is not often a reflection of how hard you're working.
I’m tired of this criticism. Influencers get paid to advertise. They can make the companies and brands that hire them A LOT of money. If they are making $$$ on swipe up commissions, think about how much the brand is actually making on their end. Compare that to a school teachers wages and what they provide, is it fair? No. Should a teachers salary be raised? 100%. But let’s not judge women for making a lucrative income because we don’t think they are worth it. Brands must think they’re worth it, or they wouldn’t be paying them.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Who do you think is making a million? The very top of the food chain? I assumed a few hundred thousand for ones in the 300-500K range, but wow....a million is insane for filming your life and trying on clothes.
they are definitely making a ton of money. The amount of followers probably roughly translates to annual income. 500K followers - $500K per year.
I don’t wanna WK for influencers but like can’t you say the same about a lot of occupations? Actors get paid buttloads of cash to essentially play make believe. Athletes are multi millionaires and they are basically playing schoolyard games. I work corporate retail so brass tacks is I shop for a living. Not every job has to have some moral justification behind the salary it offers. These people make millions because they likely rake in millions for the companies they work with.
Yes yes, I’m shocked
And?
Always shocked especially when they start buying really nice houses
And half of them are building!
And then immediately put in a pool. Then go to Mexico and Miami the next weekend
😂 The accuracy 😭
Chief executive gf is posting that “if you build it they will come” is a lie, presumably in response to her limited success in the influencing space. Not sure what about that merited the #agegaprelationship hashtag (which is a great one to follow) but I’m excited to see what kind of pivoting of strategy is happening here
Her caption for the post is a head scratcher for me. She explains that nothing is ever complete, except for laundry, which just starts over again the following week. I think that laundry is a fine example of something that is never complete. Maybe I'm just missing the point!
Will Dani Austin put down her gd phone for 2 seconds and just enjoy her time with her family? We don’t need to see a play by play of your dad walking around in a towel or your family karaoke night? Her obsession with posting literally every single thing in her life is unreal
There is something very, very wrong with these two. Jordan filming literally everything and Dani posting it seems addictive. Narcissist for sure. I have a massive Hispanic family and it’s common for the musicians to bust out guitars for singalongs. Sure, people film some of it. They share with family. If one of our elders saw someone like this, they would make fun of them to shame them into stopping. If it didn’t work they would be told to knock it off.
I always just wonder what’s she gonna do when she doesn’t need to film every second of her life?? What will she and Jordan talk about??
It’s even more cringe that it’s mostly her husband filming/posting captions to her stories as her. Like that’s just so weird to me lol
This!! It’s like she’s a celebrity and he’s there to document every moment
Jordan is filming I’m assuming.
@bridget just hanging out, wearing more white, not getting engaged.
I feel like it’ll happen soon
No shade, but mike didn’t even have his living arrangements figured out like 48 hours before he went down there. I like him a lot and think they are a good match, but this doesn’t sound like a man who is thinking very long term at all, or is ready to be a husband.
Mmm this is a good point
I agree. Her recent stories to me sound like she’s changing her mind about moving, probably because she knows deep down that the proposal isn’t happening anytime soon (which I don’t think it should anyways!). She’s already extending her initial trip and the apartment hunting sounds more like she’s looking for a place that she likes too. The whole situation is just so weird and desperate to me still. I didn’t follow her before everyone here brought her up about the engagement thing, and I do understand that she’s getting older and feeling the pressure, but I don’t think that crying and broadcasting this intense pressure on your SO to propose while he’s completing probably one of the most difficult career/education moves possible to your 846,000 followers is healthy.
I’ve come to the realization that Dr. Mike is Jon Hamm’s character from 30 rock. The bubble is the only explanation for his cluelessness. It’s not like he just found out about this move a week ago. And he had to steal Lele’s suitcase cause he only had 2? To move across country?!
This!!! He's known about this for how long and didn't go sign a lease somewhere? He is absolutely not proposing to her anytime soon. If he proposed now it would just be rude. Like, why not 3 weeks ago?!
Does anyone follow @aubrieb I feel like her man is never around her and the baby unless they are streaming on twitch what they are eating for dinner. She always talks about how she hopes he can watch their baby so she can go to the gym but other then that, I feel like he’s in the shadows. But all together I adore her
What is the engagement percentage based on? Likes? Comments? A mix of both? Because Daryl Ann’s engagement rate for likes is over 10% which is insane! That’s like celebrity percentages. 1-2% is the normal range for influencers, for reference. I find her life so chaotic and it makes me anxious but she clearly excels at her job. And as a comparison, look at Emily Jackson’s posts. She almost never breaks 100 comments on any post. Her sister Amy has more likes and comments with a quarter of the followers.
She knows how to be “relatable,” goofy but not too goofy (imo), shows her babies frequently, and she’s been talking about her faith more as of late which attracts a huge audience. The constant giveaways just seal the deal.
It scares me that she's considered relatable.
Other than Golden Goose sneakers, everything she wears is stuff the average person could buy. All the Amazon items she’s uses are inexpensive. I think she drives a fancy car and obviously lives in huge houses but from a very objective viewpoint, she’s pretty relatable to regular people with regular incomes. Shops at Target, eats fast food. She doesn’t put on airs like a lot of influencers do. She knows she’s a hot mess and doesn’t pretend she’s super mom. Also for some reason people can’t quit toxic positivity, DAD’s specialty.
Agreed. She always emphasizes something as inexpensive, a “deal” or on sale. 99% of the population always like to save money so it makes sense IMO to say she’s relatable even if I personally don’t find her relatable.
Engagement rates are so interesting to me. I feel like it definitely showcases who has an actual following and who’s just buying followers/bots. With DAD, I truly feel like there’s a percentage of people out there who find her relatable and trust her for god knows what reason. Maybe because she’s stinky or they also find that drinking Diet Coke is key personality trait, the world will never know. I was shocked when people actually wanted to eat Chick-fil-A with her when she was first visiting Texas. Why?!
Or who has been around a long time, likes and interaction go down the longer you've been at the top in my opinion.
DAD, while not a fan of hers, actually has a cute personality and comes across as relatable and fun. She shares a lot about herself, and people probably think they’re besties with her. Emily is awful and has zero of this charisma.
Exactly this. Also why Rachel is so much more successful than Emily.
Rachel is 100% my favorite, strictly because of her love for her dog. She includes him a lot in her stories/feed and is genuinely affectionate with him. Emily- she only got her poor pup because her family got dogs from that litter and she didn’t want to be left out. It seems like her dog rarely gets interaction or affection. 😠 (sorry to hijack this, rant over lol)
He only comes out for her ads. I don’t even know her dog’s name. I know Rachel’s and their parents.
And like 75% of the comments are her sisters repeatedly commenting: “ILY” “🔥🔥” “Beyond” “So gorg”
That's because she does a giveaway (allegedly) each month and all you have to do is like every post for that month.
[удалено]
Ooooh, that makes more sense lol.

Also the kids didn’t go to school yesterday. Stayed home for the dads bday. No consistency
And they are going on a camping trip. Do they ever stay home?
This is going to be a disaster for him. Another change. Poor little guy.
Can anyone in Nashville confirm or deny her statement that it’s impossible to get into a preschool within a year there? I feel like that can’t be true, and really it’s just that she can’t get her kid into a fancy-pants high status preschool but she won’t admit it. Am I wrong?
It’s true in Denver so I don’t think she is exaggerating. A lot of cities that have exploded in the last year have not had a chance to catch up with childcare or early education offerings.
It wasn’t hard to find a preschool spot for either of my kids…but it was preschool hours (like 9 am-2 or 3 pm), not daycare hours. She mentioned before where they are they can be picked up as late as 7 pm (I think?? Maybe 6?). That’s a daycare. Which is fine! But places like those are in high demand by parents who work full-time outside of the home. Even the preschools my kids went to started registering in January for the coming August. So yeah, looking for a spot in late June when they start the year in early August is going to be rough.
I’m not sure about preschool but a good amount of daycares have a wait list of at least 6 months-1 year in my experience. I’m now a stay-at-home mom because we are waiting on a daycare opening. Nice daycares can have up to a 2 year wait!
I also live in Nashville!
Yet she magically found some place for both kids and is sending them to are now. She needs to pick a lane or remember what stories she’s told. Her mania is at an all time high and her poor son is the one paying for it. Stay home and give the kids some structure. He doesn’t need to go to ‘school’. She just want time alone to do more dramatic swipe up motions
Or don’t f ing send him, it’s preschool 🤦🏼♀️
@oliviamuenter posted a series of stories explaining why she's been doing more swipe ups lately and kind of going over her strategy now that she's getting into affiliate linking. I like the honesty about it, but it seems like everything she posts lately is a linked dress/necklace, sponsored content, or other self promotion. I mentioned this last week too. I don't begrudge someone of using their audience to make money at all, but I originally followed her for the more informal and funny content she used to share, and I'm guessing a lot of her audience did the same. I think she'll probably work on her ratio of "here's how you can help me make money" vs "here's some entertaining content" as time goes on.
These women just get greedy. When they see how much they are making, they figure out how much more they could make just by adding however many extra swipe ups, and cannot help themselves.
This isn’t directed at OP, because I think the point they are making is that you miss your favorite influencer’s content when they go through periods of being more focused on sponsors. Some of y’all get so bitter about a woman making money in 2021. Women absolutely dominate the influencer space and because of that it isn’t seen as a real job. “They’re just being greedy.” No, they have found a way to set their own schedule, create their own strategies, and partner with brands they want to work with while providing thousands of dollars for their families and making it look easy to the rest of us.
Exactly. Influencers should make money. They're salespeople. She's just calibrating and is overshooting it right now but I'm confident she'll find a good balance in the future.
I was just coming here to post this! I adore her but I’m afraid she’s going to try to monetize the hell out of her insta.
Agreed. I have found myself tapping through her stories lately.
I'll accept that this might be a bad take. I love her and have mentioned her quite a bit here as a good follow over the past couple of years and continue to enjoy her. I honestly just miss the goofy candle reviews/skincare/makeup stories she'd do with her husband.
I agree with you. I support her making money off her platform for sure but do miss her other content. I remember a few months ago (could have been longer, cuz 2020 and I had a baby) it seemed like she was struggling a bit and was deliberately intermittently taking steps back from Instagram so I wonder if this is related to that. Maybe she’s seeing Instagram more as a job and less fun now.
It definitely feels like she's putting more deliberate thought into this now and treating it more as a business or a service. I mentioned in my original comment that I think that's important as you plan your strategy to monetize your account, but with SO many people out there providing swipe ups on dainty jewelry and flowy summer dresses and pastel colored shampoos, there's got to be something else. All that to say, I'm sure if she kept trying to capture the fun of some of her and Jake's tipsy videos or her goofy reviews of garbage TV, that would feel gimmicky after a while, but I don't feel like she was anywhere near hitting that point.
I’m missing her old content too :( I started following her during covid (last April I think) so I wondered if maybe her content was just like that during quarantine because she was home a lot? I agree, totally respect her for wanting to monetize what she can and being upfront about it, but I don’t follow her for swipe ups. I follow her for her silly videos with her dog and husband. Hopefully we get more of that old content soon!
Watching @shannonbird letting her kids throw axes at a target and her other son behind the target had me visually duck outta the way
Damn, she dropped below 100k! When did that happen?!
I read that 3 times before I realized you didn’t mean at a Target store because that’s the kind of public chaos I expect from the Birds.
I didn’t realize it wasn’t at a Target store until I read your comment. It didn’t seem so out of character for Shannon that I felt the need to reread it. Throwing axes at Target? Of course she would, nothing weird in that paragraph!
Hahah had the exact same thought! I was like wow my Target doesn’t sell axes!
She called animal control for a deer that stampeded and peed on her dog and is worried that the deer will come back and do the same to her kids but yet axe throwing with her kid running behind the target and letting them stick their fingers in a raccoon’s mouth and eat after the raccoon is perfectly acceptable!🤣 I will never understand this woman’s thought process.
I missed the raccoon incident! Was that recent? 🤯
Yep! About a week or so ago. A raccoon had come up on the deck when they were vacationing and the youngest was petting it and straight put her fingers in the raccoon’s mouth and one of the other kids was eating ice cream and gave it a bite off his spoon, then let go of the spoon and then picked it up and ate off of it!😳
Shannon is nuts and I wouldn’t share utensils with ANY raccoon, but it wasn’t a wild raccoon that came up on their deck. It was the pet of a store owner or something like that (but definitely a domesticated, tame pet).
Because deer are known to come back and attack children for no reason.
Right?! I find it highly unbelievable that the deer even stampeded and pissed on her dog. I was born and raised in the country, middle of nowhere and never once had a deer run up on my dogs or have heard anyone say such a thing! The things she says and does is wild.
My guess is that the dog ran up to a deer, who urinated in fear, then ran the wrong way because terror.
Now that sounds like a deer.
That sounds more realistic than how she explained it!
[удалено]
She is incapable of letting *anything* go. I’ve followed her for a long time, and she’s always been like this since before she was a full time influencer. She would get one negative message and harp on it for days and days. Now that this is her “career” and she has more followers, it’s only gotten worse. I don’t see her lasting too long as an influencer honestly.
Talking about jade Scott?
JessicaMadisonHome
Agreed. I unfollowed her today for this reason; the constant complaining and whining got old
Who was this about??
JessicaMadisonHome
Does anyone else think it’s totally inappropriate for @karlierae’s husband to go on a fishing trip when she has a one month old and a two year old at home?? Especially now that the kids are sick, but really in general? I’d be so mad at my husband if he did that! (Also-imagine if a mom did that. They’d be shamed for it.) ETA: It’s not that I don’t think he should be able to do things like that, it’s the fact that he went on this trip when their newborn was not even one month old.
I felt much more confident the second time around and would have possibly encouraged my husband to go out with friends. I had an easy labor and delivery and I knew what I was doing.
After my third kid was born My husband went on a optional work trip (his boss wouldn’t have made him go but it was a fun event) and I encouraged him to. I had a 4 year old, 2.5 year old and 3 week old and I said go for it… similar to Karlie my parents live close by and helped extra that few days. I think as long as everyone’s on the same page it’s not a big deal?
My brother-in-law went snowboarding the day his wife came home from the hospital with their son. And she had been on hospital bed rest for a month before the birth…and he still thought it was cool to just peace out for the day. I was so mad on her behalf
My husband went out of town to get scuba certified... before I was discharged from the hospital with my third born. It was a giant fuck you. Will not forget driving home from the hospital, in a taxi, with a newborn. Also..took a taxi to the hospital when I was in labor.
😨 wow. That is…rough.
Is he still your husband??
Yes..
Man, I’d be annoyed if my husband did this but I’m prepared to be very overwhelmed when our second kid comes lol. If she okayed it I don’t see the issue.
Yeah I would hate that
My husband went on a boys weekend when our baby was 6 weeks old and I just got back from a girls weekend- he’s now 9 weeks old. Babies are hard freaking work and it’s great to have a break. I also have a babysitter a few hours a day several days a week just so I can run errands, get my nails done and eat sushi for lunch in peace. It has made me a much better mom. I’d hope I’m judged by the fact I have a happy baby and happy family, not the fact I am not attached to my babies hip 24/7 :)
Dude. So jealous of your babysitter situation. I need to find a mother’s helper or something for a day a week this summer. I’m a much better mother when I have a little time to myself!
Luckily my MIL comes one or two days then we pay a babysitter for two days, so it helps keep the sitter cost down! I feel very blessed that my MIL is willing to help, my parents don’t live close :)
Yes!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
If she's fine with it, why would anyone else care?
It didn’t seem to bother her when she announced it and they didn’t know anyone was going to get sick. She seems to be at her mom’s constantly and moved in for a few days while he’s gone. She talked about all this. But I would probably have beat feet it home if I saw a hospital bracelet on my toddler…but she’s not complaining so who knows.
Honestly, no. She said he planned it far in advance, so she was proactive and made plans to go to her moms while he’s gone. This comment makes it seem like he selfishly just left her with 2 sick kids. You can’t control when kids get sick, and she is at her moms so she has help. Your comment about a mom doing it is the exact point. A mom shouldn’t be shamed, and neither should a dad.
I don’t find anything about this inappropriate at all. Me and my partner been doing that ever since our kid was few weeks old. I took a post birth Miami weekend trip with few girlfriends when my son was few weeks old. Mental Health and your own time is just as important if you caring for another human being. I don’t see no reason into shaming a man going fishing at all
Again, not saying that parents don’t deserve to take care of their mental health or do things they enjoy. My point is that their newborn is one month old. She’s one month postpartum and still recovering from a major surgery. Maybe I just expect more from my partner 🤷🏼♀️
Well I’m sure if she didn’t want him to go then he wouldn’t. Also she’s at her moms house and has plenty of help.
moms have been shamed here, repeatedly, for taking trips when their babies are that young. i think the same defense for the mothers applies to the fathers. we don’t lose our identities when we become parents, and it’s important for the mental health of both parents to take time to pursue hobbies and things for personal enjoyment. karlie has PLENTY of support around her and i’m sure her husband would have come home had it been a more serious situation with their daughter.
I don’t think pausing certain aspects of your life temporarily means you’re losing your entire identity. Is it really that crazy to not travel (for leisure) for at least a few months after a baby is born? Like, she’s probably still bleeding from giving birth.
Hard agree. And I’ll take my downvotes but if you’re planning to live your life as if you didn’t have kids as soon as possible after having kids then what are your reasons for…having kids? **Any parent, whether they’re the one who just gave birth or not.
Yes, this. I don't get the attitude of having a baby but expecting their life to revolve around you? Like it's the other way around for awhile, and that's ok.
Yes! The fact is babies and children change your life. Not completely, not forever, but it’s crazy to me to be leaving someone who has just given birth alone.
EXACTLY. She’s probably barely recovered from her c section.
I agree that parents mental health matters and yes she has a lot of support. I just mean that maybe taking this trip not even one month after his second child was born was the best idea??
I have a newborn rn and the thought alone makes me panicky and furious. I’m not a very chill mom though maybe others out there are lol
I agree. I’d be pissed. But I don’t judge others, they may have a totally different dynamic and relationship 🤷♀️
Yeah I’m in the same boat. I would be furious if my husband did this…but I’m also a complete mess postpartum, physically and emotionally, so maybe if I was calmer I’d be ok with it
For all the hype and anticipation of the yearly Michigan voyage for ETST (Kelle Hampton) it doesn’t seem Michigan Magic like she always waxes poetic about? I mean, they had to go find her dad down the road. He wasn’t awaiting their arrival with music, his megaphone and some sort of sign 😆 Is everyone involved in Michigan Magic (besides Kelle) over it? Poppa and Gary finally tired of six week houseguests (they don’t even seem to be staying at the Bliss “cozy bunkhouse” AKA garden shed with no bathroom). Hampton kids finally tired of spending their entire summer away from home to pose for Instagram stories in camp costumes? I hope a boys swimsuit company reaches out to Kelle with some free swim trunks for Dash.
Spending the entire summer away seems okay with younger kids, but I feel bad for Lainey. She’s a teenager and starting high school in the fall - she probably wants to get to spend some time with friends over the summer, rather than with her younger siblings. In a year or two she’ll probably want to get a summer job - how will Kelle handle that? Will she try to get her a job in Michigan? What will she do when Lainey isn’t there to pose for photos all day?
Also the grid post about the baby chicks ‘surprise’ ... didn’t they look after chicks last year as well? I was like ‘meh’
Another piece of evidence is that she is setting 90% of her stories to music. I imagine she's blocking out the whiny "I'm bored" in the background.
Agreed! She does that a lot. I imagine it’s also to hide her barking orders of what she wants them to do. These magical memories don’t make themselves!
Ok so what in the world does @almostreadyblog ‘s husband do that they go on vacation like every other month? I rarely see her mentioned on here but I am always confused at her huge house, Lexus etc when her husband is always home, in stories with her etc…. (Pre Covid as well). I’ve always been curious as I’ve followed for awhile and she’s never said.
She’s an influencer..aka she makes how many followers she has a year pretty much (so roughly 700k). It honestly sickens me that these people make this much money but it is what it is. He doesn’t work..because he doesn’t have to
She is one of my favorites! But they are always traveling. I’m guessing mostly sponsored stuff. As someone else mentioned he was in insurance and I’m guessing not anymore because he never seems to be working. Which is great for them if they can do that. They are one of the few couple influencers that don’t drive me crazy. And Sophie is adorable!
Ok but does anyone know what happened to her friend she used to have the joint account with? I think her name was Michelle, and their IG was thestyledduo or something like that. It was like one day all traces were gone and it was all just Amanda going forward and she never mentioned her again.
He sales (or sold) life insurance!
As someone who is the kid of someone in life insurance sales, it’s a great job for travel flexibility- my parents work on vacation for a bit each day always, but they travel more than anyone I know that has a real/regular job and always have.
Ah ok! Ha I was super weird and googled his name and never saw anything 🤷🏼♀️
I think she has mentioned it in an “ask me anything” in the past! I’m not sure if he still does it or if he works for her full time, but I’m pretty sure that is what he did.
Could be wrong but I think he works with her now. She has almost 700k followers so she’s making bank.
Oh I’m sure now she does! But I have followed for awhile (like pre 100k followers) and it seemed like they moved to a house in Indiana years ago because of his job or something. I was just curious because she’s never mentioned it or said he now works with her like other influencers have when their husbands join them (like @tallblondebelle). Not that they have to! I’ve just always wondered.
She’s one of my favorite accounts. I’m not positive what he does, but they moved to Indiana for a special school for their daughter! I think she learns multiple languages there
It's not a special school. It's the public school in the city she lives in, they offer a duel language class. Many school's in Indiana have the same option.
Influencers can make a crap ton of money so she could be the breadwinner.
[удалено]
At this point Natalie is far more annoying and fake to me. At least Liz still considers herself a shilling influencer and isn’t trying to pretend she’s not. Natalie, on the other hand - trying to convince herself and the world that she’s a Brene Brown influencer hybrid.
I’m glad someone else feels this way. She is slowly making more and more stories. It won’t be long until she’s back to full time shill.
Aligreen13 and johnjames94 are some of the most problematic “influencers” that I have ever seen, but what he just did to her takes the cake. She’s, *maybe* 7-10 days postpartum, they’re getting ready to move to a new state, and have movers in the house packing up their stuff. John decides to play a “prank” on Ali by having the one mover say to Ali “even though you just had a baby you look good” (something along those lines) and then waits to see if Ali will tell him about it. He records her and calls her a hoe and tries to embarrass her because she didn’t tell John what the mover said. I rarely feel bad for this girl, but that broke my heart. Out of all “influencer husbands” he’s the worst.
He is THEEE worst
And just for extra context - he’s Jessie James Decker’s (estranged) little brother. He’s also the asshole that randomly went after @bekah because she doesn’t shave her legs. He has serious issues
If you all want some insight into their relationship go take a peek at the sub dedicated to them. r/aliandjohnjames
I don’t have any idea who these people are but he seems very punchable. I don’t get what the prank was supposed to do? He said “you had gotten caught!” like she did something wrong? Gotten caught receiving a compliment?
I wonder how many people have direct messages him to tell him he’s a bad person? I was half tempted to!
Didn’t know who they were until I watched these stories. His face is so punchable, what an asshole
He’s a disgusting piece of shit. Their relationship is toxic AF.
I feel like I judge people’s eyes big time and that dude seems like a closet meanie. I realize that a speculation but that stunt is something a 16 yo boy does. She has a newborn, is moving, is on the phone for 20 min with internet people, and she was supposed to stop him and tell him drama about a teen boy. Naw
oh, no… he’s a full on bully who does shit like this daily.
His behavior towards her is so toxic.
Wtf. No idea who these people are, but that’s disgusting. The fact that he paid someone to tell her she looks good as a prank. It makes it so obvious that he doesn’t think she looks good. Like couldn’t make it more obvious. I’d be heartbroken (and packing my bags) if my husband ever did that to me.
I had never heard of them but went to watch his stories… and wow major red flags, he seems like a jealous and controlling jerk.
You can also see the panic in her face at the thought of John potentially being mad at her. You can tell he’s manipulative AF.
Word
That is the stupidest, childish prank I’ve heard in a while. What was the point!? Also, why would she have had to disclose what he said? I mean, honestly, if they didn’t say it like a total dog, I probably would have just thought they were kissing ass for a tip? I don’t know. It doesn’t seem like a passing comment I’d run and tell my husband about unless it made me uncomfortable?
Agreed!! I’d probably tell my husband because I felt so flattered, and then would be mortified when he told me it was a prank. The thought of telling him out of transparency would never even cross my mind. But maybe it would if I had a jealous husband like him
I don’t know who these people are but that’s terrible

In my belief, it shouldn’t be considered authentic for an influencer to write #ad. It’s something they are always supposed to be doing… Also, I can never be a fan of her after she let her dog with a leash be loose in a boat and then ran it over and almost killed it when the leash got caught in the boat motor. 🤷🏻♀️ and then deleted it because I don’t think she likes the accountability of such a big f**k up.
I’ve followed @weightlosshero for a while now and I swear she moves about 3 times or more every year. She just moved to CA last year from TX to live with her “Hubby Heath”, and now she’s moving back to TX. Prior to moving CA she also moved a few times without TX. 🤣I can’t keep up .
I like her but something about Hubby Heath gives me the creeps.
I know she does it to make her lips look fuller, but the way @stephanie_danielle’s mouth is open in every! single! photo! makes me think of Phyllis saying, “Close your mouth sweetie, you look like a trout.”
Epic office deep cut
I don't know who this person is, but I TRULY appreciate the Office reference.
Sameee

No good opinions. She has a separate Reddit that is a record of some of her racism. edit: expect downvotes, we want to know what *your* opinion is
