Carolina Girl

Jax's bullshit comment "just because she's opened two or three restaurants" in his dismissal of Lisa's importance, I would remind this misogynist racist piece of shit that one of those restaurants provided his entree into reality television. This turd owes EVERYTHING to Lisa Vanderpump. And frankly, what has he actually accomplished. He put his "name" on a bar someone already put together. I recall we heard just ONCE about his line of cocktail mixers (odd for a guy who everyone agrees is a crappy bartender) and some bullshit beer cheese.

I thought she waited for the Chinless Wonder to leave on some extended trip or whatever, packed the baby and her belongings and ran - at least that's what she was claiming on one of those "specials" relating to either Randall or the Scandal (poetry unintended). I'm not all that inclined to believe Sandoval's claim about "lag time."

I couldn't believe it either when I heard it, considering her past history and even her recent addiction and losing custody of Alana. But I think you're right - she's looking to parlay it into another season, and more money for the girls' appearance on the show. Since there are no Coogan laws in Georgia, she'll be keeping ALLLL that money for herself. And it looks like she's going for another "Not to Hot" storyline scheme with Ozempic. I suppose the girls will get social security money but I don't see that it will amount to much. Anna died young and I believe the benefit is only 75% of the benefit the parent would have received. Without the show money to live on, Soooeee June will have a tough time on those benefits alone, especially as she likes to say how much she loves the "good things in life". I'm willing to be if the SS money turns out to be the only thing she has to live on, suddenly the ex will be the correct parent and she'll give up custody. Which will be a win for the girls if nothing else.

She was thin that one year only - she's been packing the pounds back on ever since Sugar Bear married Jennifer. Stop cramming shit in your mouth - by they way - was she trying to resurrect that "Southern Treats" box grift of hers - it looked like it in the last episode "this is ____ from the box and it's so good." I didn't think that was still a thing since it was so obviously a complete and utter rip-off. I would assume that one Pumpkin assumed the legal guardianship of Alana, she would be aware of any and all accounts for Alana. June spent tens of thousands of dollars - had to sell her house at a loss to pay for "muh adickshun" so if she had access to Alana's money, she TOOK it. She has no morals.

But one thing that I don't understand is where is all of Alana's money she earned for the Mama June show AFTER she went to live with Pumpkin? Have they mentioned that amount or what it has been used for? I'm thinking she went to live with Pumpkin before "muh addick-shun" started, so there should be a pretty hefty sum from multiple filming seasons. I will assume that once Pumpkin had physical custody, even before legal custody was signed over, that the producers made all checks payable to her - I cannot fathom that they gave them to Mary the Meth-head.

Yes, if it Pumpkin can prove that she did not place the requisite amount. The $30,000 owed sounds about right - especially if June calculated the 15% AFTER taxes were taken out. Under the law the 15% is to be calculated for deposit BEFORE taxes are deducted. And Pumpkin was right - in California, our tax bracket for $400,000 is something like 11%, not 50%. Federal might bring it up close to 50, but I don't think so. I think, though, Alana will need to bring the lawsuit in California.

My answer when I talk about it is to say it was the only time in my life I went for "style" over "substance."

June seems to forget she told Justin flat out that she put 80% of the DWTS money in Alana's Coogan account. Not true. She KEPT 80%. Not only that, she apparently kept ALL of the money generated from Toddlers and Tiaras and Here Comes Honey Boo Boo. I hope this is being brought to the attention of the Georgia Legislature. Considering the amount of filming going on in Georgia, and especially Georgia's promotion of same, it would be VERY wise of them to pass a law similar to California's Coogan law to protect child actors. Especially those featured on reality TV. And none of this bullshit 15%. It should be the 80%. The kids should not be financing the family's lifestyle.

We are kindred spirits! But I have seen some good decorating videos on YouTube for the home baker (not that pricey dvd course Wilton offers). My goal is to be able to make roses. Considering this show isn't pulling in even 500,000 viewers, I'm thinking the well may very well HAVE run dry. I'm sure they will be doing their level best to drum up interest in the show during the off season, and I shudder to think that they'll exploit Anna (which was my fear this season so I took it off the DVR) but they really have nothing else, unless they go with the legal action against June. But frankly who the fuck CARES at this point?

I remember that same moment of realization with a guy I was head over heels about. Man that is a horrible day.....

Scheana and Lala sure have that dilemma thing going, don't they? Agonizing over being friends with Tom yet practically racing each other to attend his events.

Ariana stole all her thunder - Season 10 was supposed to be about Lala the wronged woman and her battle with Randall. Instead, Scandoval eclipsed it all. I think this was why she was such a "force" during the reunion and so nasty to Sandoval and Rachel - and while I loved the humiliation she offered to both, I did wonder why SHE was the one mouthing off - she had no dog in this hunt. She was not especially fond of Rachel or Sandoval BEFORE the affair was revealed - there was no betrayal. But dammit - these two jerks intruded on what was to be HER "wounded woman" season.

Although if she wants to sell cakes she would be wise to invest in a cake decorating course. That cake looked like someone put a fist through it.

I didn't realize Rand kicked her out - the story Lala tells is that she waited for him to leave and when he finally did, she packed up her belongings, took the baby and fled. The way she told the story you would think that Rand would have held her captive if she hadn't left. And I absolutely believe that Ariana's attorneys have instructed her not to leave until a settlement of sorts is worked out. Sandoval is perfectly capable of trying to claim "abandonment" to complicate matters. I'll have to go look again. I may be having "senior" recollection about Tom's reaction - don't seem to recall anger. But let's face it - he'll grasp at straws to justify his crappy behavior.
