Yes, and it makes no sense. She's small and she has money. There's no reason she should have trouble finding something at Nordstrom. Take a friend or your "team" next time, I guess.

Only Hatmaker-adjacent, but I know we have some Austinites on here: has anyone heard any updates on Jamie and Aaron Ivey? Did they stay together?

Jen is a hot mess but she had to feel a little bit vindicated by all this after she and Jamie were friends, adopted internationally at the same time, Jen helped launch Jamie, and then the statement the Iveys put out saying they disagreed with the Hatmakers' stance on homosexuality. It just seemed unnecessary--why do you need to chime in? Why not talk to these friends face to face? And then we find out Aaron is having affairs with men and molesting at least one underaged boy. Something something plank in your own eye before the mote in someone else's...

I wonder about the Iveys too! Would love to hear an update. I love Jamie's podcast and authenticity and felt so awful for her.

From a Texas news source last fall:

Aaron and Jamie Ivey are in the process of selling their million-dollar-plus Southwest Austin home.

After months of radio silence following the scandal involving Aaron and allegations of him being a sexual predator, it appears the Iveys are starting a new chapter.

The couple’s stunning log cabin, which sits on 3.45 acres tucked in the Bear Creek Estates community, is in a pending sale, according to a Zillow listing. The home was first listed Aug. 29 with an asking price of $1.25 million. The sale has been pending since Oct. 12, the listing indicates.

Jen and all her internet besties minus Tara are such phonies. In her IG bio, Sarah Goodfellow describes living in a “trailer park” by the sea.
Beloveds, let me tell you, there are no “trailer parks” by the SoCal sea that clock in under half a million.
These people are so weird.

Every time her internet besties come up, I like to remind everyone that Jamie Wright’s book is trash and she’s a horrible person.

She recorded herself reading 1 star reviews for her book, mocking the people that (gasp!) didn’t like it. These videos are literally still saved as a highlight on her Instagram stories.

What about that lady in NYC with the rapist pastor father? Shawna or something.

Shauna “Willow Creek” Niequist. When her father was accused, she spoke out in defense of him and shamed the accuser online. She ended up deleting and apologizing after the uproar.
Jen still does writing events with her that she charges $$$ for.
Again, the fact that this woman is writing about church hurt is absolutely ridiculous.

It's been such an exciting 2025 so far and you, COMMUNITY, have been with me every step of the way. EVERY. DAMN. STEP. It's everything.

We've had Trevor's book release book launch, if you haven't yet snagged your copy of 'This changes your WiFi Password, a black man's journey into mostly trivial stuff' then go to my stories and swipe. Or, just scroll back a bit here on the gram where I've promoted his stuff 73 times over the past 60 days. After all, HE IS TOTALLY MY BOYFRIEND and we're here for each other like that. I think. 

We've had podcasts. We've had camel toe, oh how we have had camel toe - swipe the link in my stories so you can shop my jumpsuits from Schill-Able. We've had black and white word squares with that charming courier new font I'm so COMPLETELY ENAMORED with. PRESH!

TREVOR AND I are celebrating our THIRDS - can you believe it's been three long years since our fauxmance began, droolings? It seems like just yesterday when I was in the Hampton Inn in downtown NASH all aflutter when I got the text "Yo girl, I'm out here with all my girth leaning on my red Kia Sportage, lessgo it'll be dope" or, as I like to put it "Come to me." Tra la la.

And of course, we've had the cover reveal - can we all just take a minute and appreciate the lovely vajingle flower cover art? -  of my manifesto, A-WOKE, which will reveal some things about me. At least you hope. JUST KIDDING BEALEAGUREDS. It is raw and feral, kind of like that zit you can't leave alone. SO MANY OF YOU have sent MY TEAM so many messages of support. I am undone in the very best way. I just can't stop smiling and smacking my tongue against the roof of my mouth. 

But now that it's almost March, I'm sure all of you have been wondering where the location of 2025 MeCamp will be. I'm sure it keeps you awake at night. 

It's raw. It's real. It's a place where I'll come face-to-face with my white privilege and to get comfortable with being uncomfortable. 
Droolings, I can't wait any longer for the big reveal. I was going to have MY TEAM make THE MOST A-DORE-AH-BLE graphic in Canva to announce the location of this year's shenanigans but I SIMPLY can't wait a SECOND longer. And also, because I'm on the uber-ultra-penny-pincher plan with my publicist, Heater, because those FLOCL sales have not been awesome. 

My bedazzleds. Meet Drooble Heights. 

I can't wait to share the magic with you. This year will be a bit different. A bit more edgy. A bit more uncomfortable. But I'm sure I'll still get to hold lots of dear little babies and that the LOCAL GAYS will be having a brunch for me once they realize I've rolled up into their...um...hood. At least I think so. I hope they have brunch in Drooble Heights. 

Tra la la

I can’t even pick my favorite quote because this is all gold! Five stars!

Jamie is a hot mess but she at least took her business mostly offline and has a seemingly normal partner now, plus a grandson. Her book was terrible.

Remember when Jen was with Brandon and all the internet besties brought their husbands and they all had to hang out together ? It looked so awkward and they never did it again

I've always felt like that visit they took to the Hatmaker home was the beginning of Brandon being exposed. Jenn has said that before her life imploded that July, some of her friends sat her down and raised some concerns/red flags and she didn't give them enough weight. Was that after this couples weekend?

My total assumption is that her friends saw things while they were around Brandon that set off their hinky meter. Maybe he was on his phone a lot, being secretive with his phone, taking long breaks for the restroom or running an errand and it taking WAY too much time. Maybe someone saw a text message pop up.

When you're living with someone, it's easy to normalize odd behavior. But then your besties and their husbands show up and what Jenn brushed off as normal (or choose to ignore) suddenly seems off to others.

Lots of addicts and cheaters get exposed while on vacation with friends and family. People are nosy and observant!

I'm pretty sure that around the holidays those besties and their husbands DID get together. . . sans Sis + Sass.

I believe it was before the January girls beach trip.

No, this one was when Brandon and Jen hosted all of them at some place in TX- I remember looking at the photos from the weekend and the guys didn't seem very at ease with each other or being in front of the camera.

I think it was after this weekend that the besties told Jen that they felt she had to "dim" her light when around Brandon. Which makes me feel that it's Jen who is hard to live with, lol. But he's no angel, either.

You know those internet bestie husbands probably want to steer clear of spending their precious free time with only-child Sass.

No, who in heaven’s name is asking Jen what her favorite things are? With all due, no one is, sweetie.
