I mean, you do understand that getting paid to pretend to be his girlfriend isn't portraying Caryn well, right? I mean, I watch the show. Matt says she's his girlfriend and they might be thinking of marriage. Is Matt really employing her as his nonsexual caregiver? Caryn is the sort of woman who will get on camera and lie to the public about how she's dating Matt when in truth, she's his paid servant? Matt lies to the public about how he's dating her? Why? Why would Matt need to lie about how he has hired Caryn to be his assistant/caregiver to where he's telling the world he's in love with her and she's his girlfriend? What *good* does this do and are all the kids privy to the "Caryn is really my paid companion" arrangement?
Personally I think Matt was having an affair well before he decided to separate from Amy. He was obviously checked out of the marriage years before, his locked office and control of the money, that Caryn was always acting as his girl Friday, Caryn's husband insisting her kid not be allowed on Roloff Farms as part of the divorce decree, the fact that Caryn and Matt theoretically "started dating" after the separation but were already talking investing money into a house together despite only dating for a few months... and I have to ask myself this. If Caryn is really just Matt's paid caretaker, why does Matt allow her to have any say in whether *she* will live in the big house? If he didn't cheat on Amy with Caryn, then there should be no issue on Caryn' part about moving into the big house.
But the really big indicator that Matt was cheating was that Amy said what she said in her book... and Matt didn't protest. Amy isn't exactly bright in my opinion, but she clearly has good legal representation. Her stating Matt was having an inappropriate relationship with the farm manager is libel if it's not true - and Matt's proven again and again that he is litigious. If Amy was lying, Matt could sue the hell out of her. And he isn't.
He's not even denying it. And yes, if someone is accusing you of adultery and you are innocent, then there is no reason to sit silent and let the accusation stand.
