| QUOTE (SunnyAM @ 8/3/2022, 12:24 PM) Pretty brilliant and savvy for the other company to reach out and to get some of S&D's top sellers. I wonder what they promised to attract her over. I am totally off to look up what the drama is at S&D. After watchin the documentary last year on lularoe, I am totally curious about other MLMs.
If you're curious about MLM's I highly recommend the first season of The Dream podcast, it goes in depth about how MLM's were created specifically to prey on women at home looking to add income to their families but that less than 1% make any money off of it.
Michele was very clearly in the 1% of successful people but like the Lularoe doc, I would be willing to bet she now owes money on all of the extra stuff she has on hand that she bought to hit goals and now can't sell. I also saw someone in the Youtube comments mention that their commission plans have changed and that has to be it. She is a textbook MLM hun, even mentioning her Rolex in today's video (MLM's are notorious for telling people to spend their money on expensive items to show off to get more people to sign up to sell. Michele isn't making money off the jewelry she sells, she is making it off her downline that she has recruited from her videos who want that dream).
I am interested to see how this "pivot" goes. People are working from home now or if they are going into work, aren't dressing up the way they used to pre pandemic. No one needs stacks of costume jewelry anymore. |

| QUOTE (Yetta @ 7/13/2022, 12:39 PM) Don certainly has his faults, but I 100% believe he will be a good step dad to her kids. He was always so natural with Jen's nieces, as well as Grace, when we saw it. It was Jen that just threw presents at them. Don interacted with them. He seemed very genuine, as did Tens, in speaking about their "family of 5". I do not see either of them treating the step children any differently. Her mom certainly seems to have accepted CC & Donny, which is great, because you can never have too many loving grandmas. Especially a fun one like she looks to be.
As for college, I'm sure that their own dad will contribute, but more than likely Don & Tens will, as well. It's not like it will take away from CC & Donny. There is plenty there. PLUS, I'm sure that Poopsie put the majority of $$ from the sale of PDQ into the Ross Family Trust.
I know we don't talk about periphery members in this but when this all started I remember finding out that their dad is very financially stable. Don doesn't need to pay for her kids.
That said, I am solidly in the camp that I am not going to assume Tens is supermom because I know nothing about her. Social media pictures mean absolutely nothing. The most miserable people will put up shiny happy pictures to hide their misery. I am not saying this is the case but I am not making the assumption the kids won the stepmom lottery unless I knew her personally. |

| QUOTE (Yetta @ 7/11/2022, 10:09 AM) And the thing is, I don't believe ANYONE contacted her vet, pharmacy or doctor. I think this is all made up by Jen to rile up the Jenions to give her headpats, attention and to distract from the fact that Winnie is in pain and she is ignoring it. She wants people made about that, so that they give HER validation, because I guarantee you people are telling her it's time to let her go.
Even if someone DID call the vet hospital they aren't going to contact Jen about it. The veterinary industry has been struggling with the massive influx of pets adopted since the pandemic started and every hospital everywhere is slammed. No one has the time to call Jen to tell her some rando called and said her dog's in jeopardy. Also, they don't care if Winnie is up to date on everything and has been seen recently. |

| QUOTE (HonoraryMelissa @ 7/11/2022, 09:40 AM) I would love to know how Gene explains to “professionals” (drs, vets, pharmacists, etc) that haterz might call them looking for info on her. Does she tell them that she’s a famous YouTuber/influencer? They must think she’s crazy! If I met her in person I wouldn’t believe it!
I was a licensed vet tech for 10 years and can confirm they would think she was nuts and make a note about it in her chart. If Jen mentioned that she was Youtube famous I would probably break an ankle running to the treatment room to tell everyone how crazy my client in room 3 was. I have said it before and I will say it again, I GUARANTEE her hospital has her flagged as a crazy owner. |

| QUOTE (Good Ol’ Suze @ 6/27/2022, 10:43 AM) I was looking at some really old videos, from 11 years ago, and Jen is protesting against comments she has received that Don is getting relegated to three measly drawers, while she has everything else.
People were calling out how she treated him from the very beginning, and Jen being Jen, just knew she was right. Oops.
My absolute favorite example of this is when she vlogged about getting her framed medals for all of her Disney races when she turned 30. She said she was going to hang it upstairs because the first floor was "their" space and the second floor was "her" space. Don's space was presumably the dungeon in the basement. |

| QUOTE (WhyAmIHere @ 6/24/2022, 11:00 AM) QUOTE (Huzzah @ 6/24/2022, 04:52 PM) WTF, that is insane! She makes it out like she’s struggling, budgeting and being so frugal. She sold all her jewelry to afford a trip. She is saving old bags! She’s getting $240,000 a year PLUS her Patreon earnings and whatever earnings from that settlement??????  This is a guesstimate, I think based on half of what bakers estimated Don's income was around the time of the divorce? I could be wrong on that but I do know we have no concrete evidence of what the actual settlement was. It could be organized a number of ways but for sure she does NOT have to work to have a comfortable life. She probably does feel the need for more disposable income as she likes her trips and the ability to buy whatever on a whim, and she is prideful enough to want to say she "earned" it on her own, independent from her marriage...although her idea of work is a bit skewed.
Don't forget that her house is probably mostly, if not all, paid off from the sale of RM1 and her half of that. Don probably pays for the kid's school and health insurance. Plus she has her inheritance from her grandmother. Jen is NOT struggling. |

| Probably not the popular opinion but I see no reason for her to delete Don from her IG. He's the father of her kids, they were married for 10 years and that was her life. If she had pictures of her and Don and the kids still set as profile or main pictures for anything I would think it was weird. But just leaving memories of her life up? I don't think that's weird. I think it's more weird when a person tries to delete every last trace of someone from their life like their relationship never happened, especially when they have kids.
QUOTE (A Pirate's Life For Me @ 6/23/2022, 12:53 AM) QUOTE (Hereditary Bunions @ 6/23/2022, 06:37 AM) I agree. Whenever Jen pauses in posting the kids some think Don put his foot down. Once she had children she started to manipulate their social media presence in her withholding/punishment cycle. Don has never cared one bit about Jen's social media and isn't going to start now. We know how she withholds - that would mean threatening to not accommodate dates for family trips etc. Don dumped dat ass to be done with her nose flaring antics. I don't think he wastes his time even glancing at her Youtube/sm. I agree, he even was willing to put out his own "cook nook" videos to appease Jen, so I highly doubt he cares/cared about her social media
I was around when Don was posting on his own channel and don't get it twisted, he LOVED it. He loved the praise from her fans, people interacting, people asking to see what his hair looked like every morning. There is zero chance Jen made Don do it. If anything I think she was annoyed at the time that he was encroaching on HER "fans". |

| QUOTE (merino wool underwear @ 6/20/2022, 09:39 AM) QUOTE (DonsiPad @ 6/20/2022, 03:04 PM) Never understood when Jen and Don dressed like they were 45+ when they were only 25. Weird. Never have I ever worn a fLyAwAy cArDiGaN like she had an amazing body in her 20s. Why cover it with all that fabric? right? those flyaway cardigans are tragic. I am 50 and would NEVER wear one. You would think they would dress similar to their peer group but I guess when your only social group are your parents... Damn, I can't find the pic of Jen twinning Suzanne  Jen use to try and copy a couple of influencers and I for sure remember one of them wearing those ugly cardigans. I think it was Fleur. If you do a deep dive into their social media, Jen tried to copy her and a couple of others.
Not to Jenfend but 10 years ago cardigans were a staple and she and I are the same age. I owned SO many and now I wouldn't be caught dead in one. But she always chose the most unflattering ones. |

| QUOTE (merino wool underwear @ 6/9/2022, 08:42 AM) QUOTE (LateKate @ 6/9/2022, 12:37 PM) Don does not need a break. He enjoyed being in her vlogs for many years. She left clips of him looking like a fool, drunk etc in there many times. We will laugh at him forever. Exactly. Granted he is never my focus but some of his Gifs are just the best. I am surprised he didn't ask her to please remove any content of him from her social media. Then again, he was probably more focused on getting the hell out of that house and marriage. I am glad the guy has moved on and is probably more of a parent than Jen can ever be.
Disorganized Don is still on youtube which he created along with all of the content. If it was that big of a deal he would have started by taking that down. He is the CEO of a company built by his own family which means the highest of job securities, he doesn't care what anyone thinks of him online. |

| QUOTE (GumOnSuzannesShoe @ 6/7/2022, 04:09 PM) I just saw this headline about Ben & Jerry's and I just could not believe it!!! It says that one tub of Ben & Jerry's could contain as many calories as 10 cans of Coke, or 3 Shake Shack burgers. It reminded me of her freezer, and it makes me wonder about the pies in jars. www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article...EE-BigMacs.html
I will admit I made the pies in jars back in the day when she first posted them and they are GOOD! And perfect to bring to a friendsgiving or similar event (I made the cheesecake ones she did). Jen doesn't have many talents outside of whining but she appears to be a good baker.

| Ok, I suck. I somehow had NO idea the wedding was happening this weekend and missed out on the pics and everyone looking lovely. I feel like I have let myself and my 10 years of Jen following down but I am (mostly) up and it sounds like it was great. I still think Don is a shmuck but if they're all happy Schmucking Rosses now then that's wonderful  |
