Don’t get me started on Sarah Tripp and her insanely gross and weird husband.

Idk if that’s still a thing or not. Speculation was because they went broke and she was looking for someone with more money. I think she and her first husband had a habit of not making mortgage payments.

GOMI is trash. So much homophobic and racist shit said. They pretty much don't like anything over there. Lots of gross things said about weight, religion, race. They’re also very classist. There is this Instagram weight loss account who drives me crazy and I used to read her thread (fat girl fed up) and they were constantly making fun of her teeth. She talks a lot about how she grew up very poor with parents in and out of drug addiction, and someone pointed out once that dental care/work/orthodontics weren’t a priority if her parents could barely keep a roof over their head. Most of the posters were like “it doesn’t matter” or “there’s nothing to stop her from getting veneers now.” Because you know, everyone should be required to spend thousands of dollars and be in pain to fix teeth that they’ve made no indication bother anyone but the GOMI posters.

I love this thread. I've been checking Shannon's IG here and there for months and last night stories had me dying to talk to someone about them. I just feel for those kids so much. Their lives are so chaotic. I can't believe she turned down the milk the cops had bought her when just a few days ago she fed her kids cereal with muscle milk because they ran out milk. 🤦♀️ I spent...a long time on her blog last night. Has she never heard of instacart?? They will bring groceries to your house 🙄

How do we feel about Nao.miDa.vis? She confuses me as to why she has such a large following. With the other big Mormon Mommy bloggers like Rachel or Amber, I can at least see why people are interested in reading about their lives even if I don't happen to like their style. They have more going on than just sharing photos and stories of their kids. But that's ALL Naomi's feed is. They're cute kids but at the end of the day, most kids are and who really cares about a stranger's kids anyway? I've tried following her before because she does have such a large following and I figured I must have been missing something but I found it to be really boring and overly saccharine. It's also kind of weird when you think about how much money they must be making off of their kids. This is less of an issue but I get second hand embarrassment whenever she shares photos or video of her husband. He is such a try hard dork. Their "day dates" that they film of themselves dancing around all over the city are SO cringey.

That's funny because they hate on all the fashion bloggers that have veneers!

Im always kind of sad that she became the Mormon mommy blogger queen of NY while Nat.thefat.Rat’s life fell apart to some degree. Naomi’s blog used to be very cute and a lot more interesting - l followed her when they still had their dog and no kids 😂

She gave a really interesting interview to The Cut about her blogging career and what happened to her after her divorce, if anyone is interested. What I liked about Nat was that she was willing to keep it real to some extent whereas Naomi is all about maintaining that facade of perfection and getting those ad $$$ (not hating but I just think it's boring to read what are essentially advertisements). She also talks a little about the cold shoulder and mean girl behavior she got from Naomi, lol. www.thecut.com/2018/06/what-happened-to-natalie-jean-nat-the-fat-rat.html

Sorry that I'm over posting in here but Meg Skalla is answering questions about her engagement on stories right now and it's whacky. She's saying she started dress shopping, booked a venue, set a date, etc. way before they got engaged and she ended up picking the dress up on the day they actually got engaged. I guess I'm kind of confused though because if you already agreed to get married and set a date, aren't you technically engaged? I mean, even if he hasn't bought the ring and given it to you yet, you're engaged. You've agreed to marry someone. I get what she's saying but it's just funny to me. Normally knowing you're getting engaged soon doesn't equate to actually planning the wedding. She was really determined to get married in 2019 for some reason.
Also on their first date he met her whole family, lol.

She got engaged to this guy... about 60 days after she broke up the engagement with the other guy?
I think people believe it is the same gown. Hence the stupid lies.

This is a post from Reddit that I thought was really interesting:
"this isn't about a particular blogger and i noticed a few threads down someone was talking about fillers and it just made me wonder: in the past, "fashion trends" were largely superficial and temporary: bad hair, bad jeans, overplucked, overprocessed, what have you! back in the day, i wore glittery butterfly clips and babydoll tanks and big thick metal chokers and jnco jeans like my shit smelled like fucking ROSES. i look back on those trends and i cringe! but i also laugh! because that was then and i'm a different person now!
will today's influencers be able to do that? it seems like many of the trends - teeth shaving, veneers, caps, plastic surgery, botox, fillers - end up on the more permanent side of the scale. that scares me. i can't think of a single generation that didn't look back and cringe at what they rocked in their early twenties (hell, even late 20s). i just think constantly seeing our faces in filters has really given us a kind of body/facial dysphoria and it will be very interesting to see how we shift out of it and what that looks like in 10 years."

This is one of the responses, and I think it's an interesting take. I guess we'll have to wait and see if this is the new normal or if the trend will shift again.
"I predict the trends and aesthetic will age out as younger people react against it. In a couple of years, fillers and huge lips will be the new mom jeans.
I mean, to some degree women will keep using Botox and plastic surgery, as much as they always have. But the demand will shift and the way it's used will change when the artificial face becomes a clear indicator of being "of a certain age."
Right now all the people using this stuff are in their 20s/early 30s. It won't be so aspirational when they're 10 years older."

Yes, the timeline of that dress story made no sense unless it's the same dress. Unless she started dress shopping a week after the first engagement ended somehow it just doesn't add up. Also I thought Rachel or Emily did some Insta stories about dress shopping with her AFTER the engagement, I could be remembering wrong. Either way none of it makes sense to me!

Can’t she just admit that she liked the dress and decided to wear it? I don’t see anything wrong with that (if it’s the same dress). Though I do wonder since her first engagement she was supposed to be married in August and her dress had long sleeves? I guess you could add sleeves. Her H was also engaged and I think he was supposed to have gotten married in May. So things just don’t add up with her insta story if I’m remembering some of the things she said when I watched it last night (don’t quote me on that though!)

How do we feel about Nao.miDa.vis? I went right past this one because I didn't know that was her name, I only know her IG handle. I just need someone to explain to me why she is using self-tanner on her face in the manner that she uses it. It's TERRIBLE. I actually think she's perfectly pretty, but her skin color ain't right. Also the idea of handling 5 kids in NYC makes me want to die.

Has anyone else been following along with Eva Martino's saga (daughter of Susan Sarandon, mommy blogger in CT, renovating an old house, married to a former professional soccer player with two little kids and one on the way. She announced her divorce a month or so after announcing her third pregnancy. Oh and supposedly the pregnancy was his idea! She was done after two kids and he had to talk her into it!). Anyway Kyle moved to Brooklyn and according to US Weekly is already on dating apps. Poor Eva. I would want to murder him but she insists it's all good and they are still "best friends." Can you imagine dealing with a newborn on your own while your ex is out dating and reliving his youth? It's all very GOOP of her though.

This thread is my jam. Trainwreck bloggers are absolutely my guilty pleasure. I've been on Blogsnark since it started (maybe shouldn't brag about that haha)
Freckled Fox is one I should look away from but can't. Holy fucking mess. Her second husband is the biggest loser on the internet. He was in a long term serious relationship and then sent his girlfriend a TEXT after he MARRIED Emily like two months after her first husband died. He reportedly also told friends that he "had it made now" and would "never have to work again". So far he's lived up to it! He has obvious disdain for most of Emily and Martin's kids, especially the only boy. He's sarcastic and rude to her followers an constantly negs her. He's the actual worst. He let the family dog die of heat exhaustion, supposedly from a hot car. And she's an asshole for cutting Martin's family off from his children.
I think Na.omi.Dav.is is one of the most miserable bloggers out there. She is clearly exhausted and overwhelmed but keeps up this "little mama in my little city" picture perfect façade. That's a tiring way to live. All of their kids are adorable, but seven people crammed into an apartment like that would be so hard.
The Eva Martino thing is interesting. They went from joyfully consciously uncoupling with her halfway through a pregnancy to her saying that Kyle will not be at the birth. I think some major shit went down, and I wanna know lol
No one has mentioned Young House Love, and I don't really follow them anymore because I know how to shop at Old Navy already. But their trajectory has been interesting. I do really respect how they got their kids offline.

I guess he’s been in some pretty intense inpatient for depression? I think I feel bad for everyone involved. Aside from his mental health status, she seems to relish in the drama and attention. She's kind of "woe is me" about it, while posting with her hair done and a full face of makeup🤷🏽♀️. She's like those vloggers that have shared so much already they think it's only fair to their "fans" that they show the good, bad and ugly because it's her truth or something.

She wears soooo much makeup, its jarring sometimes. I would love to know the real story about why they split. I know there were rumors about him cheating.
