charmante

Sorry that happened to you, sounds like a nightmare! I think the Facebook page is probably Lana, too. The thing that convinced me was that it was all in Russian. Since the show is a US show, I can't imagine what a faker would hope to gain by creating a page/posts in a language that most viewers couldn't read and then lock it away from us. The other weird thing is that posts discussing it on the other forum where this was mentioned have been mysteriously deleted. Specifically from posters who said they had seen the FB content before it became private. I picked up most of what I learned from one poor poster there who has been asking people "why are we no longer talking about this and what happened to the posts??" but no one seems to be talking. She/he is a hero LOL Anyway, if Lana is actually married, one possibility is that her husband is aware all of this and that simply she makes money from selling her photos to those sites (as modeling work) but doesn't actually do any of the chatting. Maybe she agreed to the TLC filming just for the paycheck. In the previews for next week she certainly didn't seem to appreciate that David had hired a private investigator. Not sure we're ever going to get the real story on Ms. Lana.

As far as the hockey timeline, I don't think that the theory was that this particular game (from the video) was the exact one Lana attended when David was there. I think the significance of it is that it was linked to the Facebook profile for "Svetlana". So, if someone made a fake page for her, they did ALOT of research to somehow find her on a video of a youth hockey game and then create a profile that made that hockey page one of her "likes." If that makes sense. I did not see the photos on the FB profile before it was private, but those who did say the photos were of Lana - but none of them were the "posed/model" photos we have seen from her dating profiles. They were all casual, family-type pics of her, a man and a young boy. Also, it seems that the time the profile was "open" was several weeks/months ago when everyone thought Lana was just a figment of David's imagination. (The FB profile did not refer to her as "Lana", only Svetlana.) Either no one thought it would go away or they just didn't care enough, but now folks (like me!!!!) want to see screenshots that may not exist. As the David/Lana storyline grew more interest, the profile went private. 😞 Found more info on the private FB page - it was all in Russian (comments, etc.) so I am now seriously doubting it's fake.

Another screenshot from the youth hockey video (at 6:54) if it is her and she is there for her nephew, she is a very dedicated aunt considering she is there by herself.

Adding a screenshot of her Facebook page in case that disappears!

So it turns out the Facebook page is not down, but has been made private. https://www.facebook.com/fs.svetlana.f?__nodl Before it was locked down, someone on another site had seen the photos of her with the man and the little boy but I haven't seen any screenshots. In her profile picture she is wearing the shiny puffy coat that she was wearing in the scene below. Her likes are now private, but someone who saw them said that they included a ballroom dancing group, the hockey stuff, the Krav Maga gym, several beauty ones and some miscellaneous stuff from Pavlograd.

So I was reading a rumor on another site that Lana is actually married with a son. Someone had found her personal Facebook and there were multiple photos on there with her a man and a child (including a photo with the same jacket she was wearing on 90 day.) The Facebook page has now been taken down, but one of her likes was a Ukrainian youth hockey page. In a video from that page in the stands at one of the hockey games was someone that looks very much like Lana. (I can't take credit for this discovery, but I did screenshot the video and blow up the picture.) See maybe (?) Lana at 1:36. The theory was that the reason Lana delayed meeting David was that the hockey game was for her own son not a nephew. Has anyone else heard of this or have any supporting evidence of this?

Did Varya go live today on Instagram? When I picked up my phone earlier, my Instagram feed showed a post by Varya saying she was going live today at 2 p.m. Eastern. When I clicked on the post it went to a dead page. Did her live stream ever happen?

I'm surprised no one here is talking about the leaked Tell All footage. Yesterday a Redditor found a YouTube video that Erika had put on a playlist and it was 10 hours of raw footage from the Tell All (file was named Tell All Day 2.) Tons of tea and spoilers and I came here to discuss but I'm shocked no one is talking about it?

I watched both free sections and had to pause several times to make sure I hadn't had a seizure because while her demeanor was totally normal and she was speaking with poise and conviction, she was making absolutely no sense. But it definitely wasn't me. She is cuckoo. I'd love to know what franchises she was denied! (smart companies!)

Just popping in to give props to whoever named this thread. I crack up everytime I come here. 😂 #sendinglove #beautifulsouls

I don't think they film very many days out of the year. Also, while their kids are definitely exposed to the public, I don't see that much of their privacy has been sacrificed. Kate is a daily part of their life and we hardly ever see her. We've never seen anything related to their school life except a general reference to homework. Nothing at all related to what schools they go to, what grades they are in, what grades they GET, their school friends, etc. Actually, the fact that we don't see these things has led people to assume that they have no friends - which I doubt is the case. When I stop to think about how much I actually know about Will and Zoey's everyday life, it's not much. Bill and Jen's mission with this show from the beginning was to "normalize" the public perception of the lives of little people, which I think they continue to do very well. As someone with a disability, I can honestly say they have inspired me to stop making excuses that keep me from pursuing my dreams. They've also inspired me to be unapologetic or ashamed of accommodations I need to ask for or to make in order to live a full life. (One episode immediately comes to mind - it was the time Jen went for a pedicure and needed a pillow or stool - can't even remember exactly - but after that I had my first pedicure in years because it gave me the confidence to ask the salon to make some adjustments to accommodate my leg issues.) Bill and Jen continue to be an example of people who have not just accepted the hand that life has dealt them, but have lived a full and happy life in spite of challenges and are raising their kids to do the same. That said, the world is not always a kind place and I can imagine Will and Zoey will have their share of real-world disappointments ahead (if not already) - and maybe knowing that is why Bill and Jen give them a bit more leeway at home. Also, I think they are smart for taking the opportunity to make some reality TV $$ while they can. Neither one of them seems to rely on it as their primary income (they both have continued to pursue their careers unlike many other "reality stars" who have abandoned any other form of gainful employment.) It's gravy $$$ for maybe a few weeks' inconvenience a year - and no one (including the kids) seems to be any worse off for it. It also appears they have taken the money they've made from it and INVESTED it in real estate. And yes, they took a loss in Houston, but that had more to do with the hurricane which they couldn't predict. They weren't the only ones who lost money because of the storm. I still think the Florida waterfront property was a good buy. Anyway, I'm all for them riding this gravy train as long as it lasts. Good for them!

Again, I think this is perspective as with most things. In today's celebrity-age, I think people like the Kardashians (who private jet everywhere) and own dozens of $20K handbags and other luxuries) are living a gluttonous lifestyle. More power to them if they can afford it. However, I don't see that anything Bill and Jen own are what I would consider luxury. I do believe real estate is a good investment (and the waterfront location of that house at that price made it worthwhile to buy & renovate vs. finding something "move-in ready" more inland.) I think they have nice cars, but they definitely do not have "luxury" cars by any definition. They don't seem to own (or at least don't show that they own) any expensive jewelry or other luxury items. I get that not everyone can afford a $2M house or a relatively expensive car, so I can see how those purchases may seem excessive to folks who may not have lucrative careers or upper middle class incomes. But I am still not seeing anything I would define as flashy or "gluttonous" living when I watch Bill and Jen. Here's a shot of her wedding set which is pretty and perfectly-sized for her, but far from the "rocks" of a showy celebrity.

I don't know what she makes but I am sure it is way more than $200K. I am in an executive support position in a large corporation and I make very close to that! I have a SMALL (most people would probably say tiny LOL) house (1,500 sq ft) and when I bought it I gutted it and redid the entire interior. I bought my fixtures in lighting, granite and plumbing showrooms, not Home Depot, but I didn't think that was unusual at all. My car costs as much as Bill's. Jen has been carrying the same LV Neverfull for years. I have more Vuitton than she does, and I'm not only not on TV, I'm not "rich." So, I don't think the Kleins are living large AT ALL. If they are, my perspective is way off. Maybe if I saw Zoey with a Chanel Mini I might agree, but I see the Kleins as average upper middle class.

I think this was/is the driving motivation behind Chelsea falling so hard for Cole. I am also in the "I don't see the chemistry"camp, but I do believe Chelsea is a good mother. She has said many times over the years how terrible she feels for giving Aubree a terrible, drug-addicted father. I truly believe she harshly blames herself for this (she didn't make great decisions with her relationship with Adam, but she really needs to forgive herself!) and I think she sees Cole (and the way he treats Aubree) as a way to erase the past and make it up to Aubree. She may not even consciously realize that is what she is doing or that is why she was so strongly drawn to Cole, but that's my take on it. It's really quite unselfish of her to abandon the pursuit of true passionate romantic love in order to give Aubree what she thinks is the perfect dad and family. I am not saying I don't think she loves Cole - in fact, I think he is actually the answer to her prayers and makes her very happy. But not because he gives her heart palpitations and makes her weak in the knees - but because he heals her heart when she sees him give her daughter the loving father and happy childhood she was afraid she'd robbed from her by her poor choices.

"It's not a moral issue, it's a DOSAGE issue! Stay the course, man!" Too, too funny!
