Seriously? I assumed weirdo 15 year old playing king of the internet. She’s like 45/50, married young, had kid, left family, signed away all rights. Which wouldn’t be noteworthy except I saw that she had claimed to have given up for adoption to a gay couple, which seems like such a weird and wrecked thing to lie about. I hate hate hate how she talks about mothers and children - breeders, crotch fruit, shitting out babies, dumping sperm etc. She is so vile.

Who is this? Alice? I thought she was like mid 30's and just an all around hateful person. I have never tried to post though.
I find GOMI very strange but had no idea it was as problematic as people are saying here. I never stray from like, 5 threads on my most hated bloggers (one of which is a friend from high school and college LOL).
Most of those posters need to get a life. But it's amusing to get dirt on these bloggers sometimes. So maybe I need a life too.
Yea, Alice. I used to follow some threads for the Catholic bloggers and a few people that I knew personally, but the Freckled Fox thing did me in — even as terrible as that situation has turned out. Huh. So Alice had a kid and signed rights away? I Imagine to sit in her NY apartment and run that God awful website? I thought I had seen a picture of her somewhere once.
I did also read about the lawsuit!

I remember when GOMI got shut down for awhile, or Alice shut it down because of a lawsuit. I don’t remember the exact details except thinking it was well-deserved karma. Oh I know this one. Hungry Runner Girl’s ex-husband (who is an attorney) threatened legal action because he and his mistress turned 2nd wife were being discussed in HRG’s thread. I hate myself for knowing this.

I just found this post from Shannon about meeting and getting engaged to her husband and it is very lol wut????? "I have to say the man I dated is different than the man I married. You cared about so many other women I never thought you would or could just fall in love with me. Sometimes I felt like I was on the T.V. show the Bachelor because you would come pick me up on dates and to my surprise in your car there would be at least three other women- these girls were in there mid 20’s and I was 19, who were joining our date as well. This happened multiple times. It was always these big “group” dates i.e. 3-4 women one Dallin. On the fourth date I was done with it. No matter how elaborate the date was I put an end to it." birdalamode.com/how-i-got-my-birthday-boy-to-put-on-a-ring-on-it-my-side-our-love-story/I just read this and then, as if that's not enough punishment, I clicked on his side of their story. I hate myself.

I'm always rooting for her and since her last treatment she seems to be in a much, much better place. I've been reading her blog since her oldest was a baby. She just posted a really weird and mostly nasty post about how she's slept with two of her friends' ex/husbands and why the women are awful for crap talking her and she didn't do anything wrong. It was... gross. Not to mention how often she reveals really intimate details about her young daughters' mental health. I really can't stand her anymore, and I've been following since the older one was a baby, too. Huh. This is...not how I read that post. I am 50/50 on what she reveals about her kids - generally I don't find it to be "intimate details" but it is a sensitive subject.

In case you were wondering how terrible Alice is, TW TW TW
She made a Kobe thread and said who cares that the kids lost their dad because they're all rich now. She's vile.

I didn't see it for myself, but someone on Reddit (so you know, super reliable source) says that in the Harry and Meghan thread, someone said that Meghan is probably hoping Harry commits suicide because she'll use it to boost her profile with sympathy. That's.... par for the course with the little I've seen in the Harry and Meghan thread.

PDQ - I'm laughing because I had no idea who this Shannon girl is but I looked at her IG and I'm like, huh, a ton of my friends follow her. Then I clicked on a picture and I realized I grew up with her husband, lol. Dallin is a few years older than me so I didn't know him too well. But I was the same year as one of his younger brothers, who was really nice. They had 11 kids in their family so I think their way of raising a family might be a little off, not that I'm defending Dallin. I just remember the younger brother talking about how his older siblings basically raised them. I remember never seeing the parents when I was at their house. But I do remember that they had water fountains in the house, which middle school flojo thought was super cool, lol.

I have never heard of this Shannon chick, but went to her IG and omg the two video posts of her very young children cliff jumping are insane!! WTF.
Also, I used to lurk GOMI allll the time back in the early 2010s. I never really followed lifestyle bloggers, but I used to be in deep on the healthy living bloggers.

I remember reading stories about how Alice used to do phone "conferences" with people in the GOMI community and she would literally ramble on for hours about herself. She always sounded completely unhinged.

Meals and Miles? Ah, yes! Or HTP...I have always wondered what she's up to after exiting the blog/IG world completely. I can't stand smug Kath. I always had a bit of a soft spot for Meals and Miles Meghann because she seemed mostly harmless and in need of a really good makeover and manicure.

Oh the freckled fox. Now she is a mess. Her husband accidentally shot her with a gun while all 800 children were home.
Just another day or blog content for them.

I always had a bit of a soft spot for Meals and Miles Meghann because she seemed mostly harmless and in need of a really good makeover and manicure. Do you still follow Meghann? She’s been super open about her secondary infertility in a really refreshing way. She’s definite favorite for me at this point. I do wonder about HTP, too. PB Runner’s life is a mess. PB Fingers is also something. No, I haven't followed Meghann in a while now, but that's too bad. I'll have to go catch up on her blog/IG. And oh gosh, have not thought about PB fingers in a while. I am also going to have to check her out.

What’s “the Freckled Fox thing?” I used to read her blog sometimes but stopped years and years ago. I just tried to look at her blog but her format is terrible on mobile. The FF’s husband was dying of cancer and Alice led a vicious campaign to prove that they were faking it for traffic. Then he died. Things has gone way off the rails for the Fox people since, but the whole thing was so yucky. Yeah, this was disgusting.
But FF's life since has been... sad. And not in the way one would think would be sad for a widow. Like, crazy wild ride kinda sad. I do hope the kids are doing ok. I stopped reading and following after her current husband, that she married like 2 months after her late husband passed, shot her.
Insane.
