I am old enough to remember when people were calling others classist for saying it's bad parenting to put your children on reality tv and embarrass them in front of the entire world with these trashy plotlines. Because "they obviously love their kids" and "they'll put the money in the college fund to save for their education".

Which is not very old.

It's never good for child's development to be put on reality tv. No matter how much money parents have. And it's always a sign of being a greedy piece of shit.

I remember that, and believed that line of thinking too. I didn’t want to be too judgmental of them because they were lower income. I felt that she just wanted to ensure her kids were financially secure.

In hindsight, that was clearly not the case. I just hope all the kids are finding peace, support and healing.

It probably started out that way, putting the money away for college.

But then greed took over after they see how much they got. Suddenly, the kids are the breadwinners not only to pay the bills, but for the parents to live through their children, and fame going to their heads.

I finally watched "Quiet on the Set" last week, and that mother who let a child predator contact her daughter, who put her daughter in auditions because she resented her own mother for not letting her join the entertainment business. Her mother saw the shady Hollywood shit, that's why lady!

[skyler_white_yo]

That lady made me soooo mad. Her mother knew the shit that went down in the industry and was right to not allow her to be involved with that. And instead of taking that as a lesson to protect her own child, she decided to get back at her “mean” mother by letting her own child be hurt. Then when the child did not participate, that just reinforced what a piece of shit the mother was. I hope the child is doing well and has found peace, but they talked about her in the past tense, so idk.

[willardwright]

Also, apparently she has custody of her dead daughter's child? WHY?

[honeebs]

Because the other sister and her husband flat out said we aren't taking them. Not our problem.
The whole family is trash and none of the kids will ever have a chance to be anything but a continution of it.

[nutmegdealer]

whoa, didn't know that.

[ari_angelique]

jfc. Do they really think Mama June won't let the same thing that happened to Anna happen to her kids? ugh this family :( I used to think they were so endearing.

Soft spot for Alana… briefly I developed a program of freelancers to help Discovery Communications (cheaply) catch up on graphics and photo retouching work their in house group was behind on. The program didn’t last very long (literally my point of contact got himself fired), but while it ran, all the work was for Honey Boo Boo, and it became really clear I was hired because the in house team specifically couldn’t stand to work on anything for this show

Wait tell me more about what you do and how much the pay is

[primimproper]

This was ten years ago. I was connected to Elance (now I think it’s Upwork?) and contracted to handle certain big clients experimenting with their Enterprise services. It went well for a few so I landed the Discovery account but they were messy and non-responsive after 2 months, until finally a mailer daemon explained point of contact was no longer there. That was the only point of contact. The people at Elance blamed me (when not having gotten more people’s info at Discovery was arguably more the gaffe of the relationship manager at Elance- I was the workhorse recruiting and onboarding), my contract was terminated (because I was just a freelancer), and they even took me off the flourishing programs I built. After that, I struggled get back “anchor” clients and I’d really had enough of freelance income being so unpredictable. I went back to full-time project management for websites(do not recommend), then five years ago switched entirely to public service where I have Union protections and a pension (very much recommend

This is just so sad. I truly loved this family when they first got famous. I feel badly for ever watching tbh. What a terrible mess.

There is such a dark side to all these people who have been on TLC. I remember when it was the actual Learning Channel. Once they learned they could profit off of quirky family dynamics(gosslins, duggars, roloffs, browns etc) the entire network lost any sense of learning and turned into such a trashy reality tv mess where kids are just exploited. And allll those families mentioned before are super fucking messed up and predate honey boo boo.

[vibeology_e]

There are so many TLC family shows that have been such disasters. The production and executives at the network have a lot to answer for.

[spectras]

i feel so awful for the browns still :(
