Rabbit Hutch July 9, 2023 Share July 9, 2023 I say invite them all, Christine, and have a swimming pool filled with jello for those who want to fight it all out to wrassle in. Well, except maybe Tony, of whom I have already had my fill. I can just imagine Robyn scowling from the table, Kootie having a seizure on the dance floor attempting to outshine David, Meri standing in the shadows in her "edgy" MLM clothing and frumpy shoes, and Christine and Janelle cutting a rug on the dance floor like a couple of school girls. 😛 Ahh, weddings. 😏 I guess I say for her to invite everyone because, unless they're a serial killer, or they're someone that she's positively sure that she'll never see them again, it may be just easier to invite them than to put up with any potential aftermath. Once one crosses the line of cutting what used to be close family members from such an event it's almost impossible to come back over it, if future events warrant it. Be sure it's what you want to do. 7 Link to comment

Joan of Argh July 10, 2023 Share July 10, 2023 I find it hard to believe that people are paying Christine for her “exclusive content” where she might share a tidbit about her life from time to time and they’re paying her $6.99 a month?!?!?! I have a subscription to Discovery+… their subscriptions start at $4.99 a month and go up to $6.99 for commercial free streaming. Which gives me unlimited access to more than 77,000 episodes of 2,500+ current and classic shows etc, etc, etc… but nooo… I’ll go give Christine $6.99 for what?? 🤨 10 1 3 5 Link to comment

You pay $$ for exclusive "subscription only" content so you can be "in the club". You set up what perks you put out to make people like it is worth their money. Christine probably saw how well Gwen was doing and like Mykelti did with her own Patreon...Christine jumped on another cash flow. 5 5 Link to comment
Orcinus orca July 10, 2023 Share July 10, 2023 Greedy Grifters one and all. I am always amazed at those who will actually pay for gossip and monetarily support "influencers".

LilyD July 11, 2023 Share July 11, 2023 (edited) I'm not fond of how she is making tons of money through MLMs, influencing and selling even more crap through the internet. But at the same time, I feel some admiration for what she has achieved on her own. I always feared for Christine; thinking she was trapped in that sham marriage, with little or no means, education, or work experience to ever provide for herself and her kids. Yet here she is, doing a great job on her own. It's just a shame it's through selling crap and false promises.... Edited July 11, 2023 by LilyD deleted double part 5 Link to comment

If not for the show, she would never have been successful. How many of the SAHM's have failed miserably in the MLM scams? Christine would have been one of them except for SW. She even scammed her sycophants into sending money for her kids's surgery. And now is demanding freebies for her wedding. Scammy grifter. 12 9 1 1 Link to comment
xwordfanatik July 12, 2023 Share July 12, 2023 Janelle and Meri have really taken advantage of their Z-list statuses to rake in those MLM dollars, too. I had forgotten about Christine asking for money for Ysabel's surgery. I wonder what her wedding is really going to cost, aside from the grifting she's doing. 9 Link to comment
Teafortwo July 12, 2023 Share July 12, 2023 This is going to sound sexist, but so be it. I wonder why, now that Christine is marrying David, who seems financially successful through legitimate work (he owns a drywall company according to his recent Instagram post), she's continuing the Plexiglass grift. I can see her continuing to do the cooking show if she's having fun with it. She has the show money coming in and could spend the rest of her time enjoying her and David's grandkids, maybe work on a cookbook, etc. instead of "selling." I would feel very differently about this if Christine had a legitimate career. I would never suggest anyone with a career or job they enjoy should give it up when they get married. But as others have pointed out, MLM is not a job, it's a grift. 6 1 3 Link to comment

Here's the thing/beauty of MLMs - once you get enough downline, there's really nothing you need to do to keep the money rolling in, unless you choose to coach them to earn/sell more. She gets a percentage of all her downline's earnings for doing literally nothing. 5 4 1 Link to comment

And probably in no small part because she actually feels and looks better since she's started using it. She's living proof of the Plexus Magic, so of course she wants to give others the chance to feel the same! (We all know that curing herself from the nasty Kody infection is the real reason, but she's conveniently ignoring that) 10 Link to comment

Popular Post suomi July 14, 2023 Popular Post Share July 14, 2023 Born and raised in SoCal, I grew up at Disneyland. It opened on July 18 and I spent my 5th birthday there a week later. We lived 15 minutes away and went there probably four times a year and it was so enjoyable, no crowds, no lines, $.25 for parking. Cast members would call out to you to fill up their rides. General admission ($1.25) got the adults through the gate, only the kids paid for rides or used ticket books. If you didn't have a ticket you paid cash to ride. Rides were accessed with A-B-C-D or E tickets and it came to be that good things in daily life were described as E-tickets. Sometimes we paid general admission and didn't ride, just got treats or a fun meal or a gift for family out of state. It was so clean that you could wear white from head to toe and never get a smudge. (AFAIK it still is very clean, that part hasn't changed. The pressure hose crew gets after it every night). Grad Night at Disneyland for all of SoCal became a thing - yay for me in 1968. IMO the end of the enjoyable era was during the '80s. The powers that be ruined it when they didn't establish capacity limits. Restaurants, movie theatres, etc turn people away when they're full but Disney can't? Won't is more like it. Rats in a maze comes to mind. The last time I was there, walking shoulder to shoulder on a slow-moving pedestrian freeway, I kept thinking what if there is a emergency and we all need to get out of here? It's mind-blowing to look at old photos/vids online and see how uncongested it used to be. I like to think it would be closer to the original vision if Walt was still alive. I have always wondered WTF is up with the adult Brown fixation on Disney. PS: Stay off my dang lawn! 11 9 3 3 Link to comment

Had it not been for TLC, and the millions of people who want to watch the show, she could have ended up in a bad situation financially. All of the Browns would actually. Now she can milk her celebrity with MLMs, and social media. The question is ... will this show ever end? 4 Link to comment

If anything, SW has shown us how “creative” they can be with their admin and finances. We’ve discussed their admin and finances at length and it seems really complicated. These people live in the here and now and make decisions based on what’s best now with little or no regard for the future. Again, there are multiple examples of this when it comes to the Browns. Therefore, I’m anything but sure that Christine had sorted out anything in case she’d ever become a single mom (for whatever reason) Luckily for her, she seems to have got things covered now. 4 Link to comment

LilyD July 17, 2023 Share July 17, 2023 Christine……!! That outfit on Gwen’s wedding…. It’s a NO. A huge NO. Please find another consultant the next time you go party or dress shopping. Find something that does justice to the beautiful woman you are. The huge over exposure of sun burned skin (again!)around your chest is not beautiful and simply not appropriate on a wedding. Most definitely not as the mother of the bride. I also feel you should stop shopping in the teenage/young adult department. Not saying you cannot be sexy and beautiful, but there are way better options out there to make a 51-year-old woman the (sexy)star of the show. That jumpsuit is more suitable for one of your daughters. With the choices you’re currently making, you’d easily qualify for the reality show “Hotter than my daughter” and that’s not a good sign! 10 1 9 Link to comment
