Jen Hatmaker

[Anonymous]

So the elderly neighbors living a quiet life in that "presh" town of 1,000 now have 500,000 reading their personal texts with Jen, who has glommed onto them for new "content" that ultimately swirls around her?

Such an old tired trope. Simple, salt of the earth people, nobodies who, surprise, have worth and value! It's actually incredibly patronizing.

Groomed for content is exactly the best way to describe this. Big, loud and brash Jen Hatmaker, still a star in her own mind, stomping around a quiet, bucolic coastal town clamoring for "real moments" with unsuspecting locales.
Does she know how ridiculous she is? Has she found The Gays yet??

Omg I’m waiting for her “I found my gays, they just love me. I have all of their phone numbers. We are all besties now! Let me post pics of them so you can see how great and inclusive I am.” Doesnt she ever get tired of herself?

People are just performance props for Jen.

And in her quiet moments she wonders why everything feels so empty and sad.

We need to detail on this thread how insanely jealous Jen was/is of Joanna Gaines. From all the way back when they were on HGTV together.

How she couldn't understand how she and Brandon couldn't have the same success as Chip and Joanna and how it drove her absolutely crazy with jealousy.

Yet, she’s so private an introverted. 😩

Did she actually say this? It's laughable to me how Jen and Brando could compare themselves to Chip and Jo - not even in the same galaxy.

I never actually watched her show but I can just imagine all of the scratching and tongue clacking that went on.

Has anyone noticed how every single time she goes to Me camp, or New York City, or Europe for her birthday cruise, or anywhere other than her actual house, she always talks about how she wants to sell everything that she owns, pack up, and move there immediately! I love to travel and I travel a fair amount even internationally, but there’s something about coming home. I think that all of the shilling and all of the hyperbolic enthusiasm every time she travel somewhere else is just reflective of the fact that inside, she’s desperately unhappy, and she can’t simply just enjoy the life that she has.
And I didn’t think that I could be more disgusted until I read that most recent text thread between her and her new neighbors -- and also tell me that your neighbor has dementia without telling me that your neighbor has dementia. like WTH? — But Tyler‘s fake crying over everything that happened in Texas is almost rage bait. He doesn’t know what to say to us. He doesn’t know what he can give to us. Who is turning to him for solace and consolation?

Jen’s shin flap genes are not very umm just no

I have a theory that Jane Capstitcher is Jamie Wright

I have wondered the same thing. I know they are in the same group that does a girls trip every year but Jen online is so much of what Jamie makes fun of in terms of influencer culture and christian celebrities. She has to secretly hate it.

I don't understand how no one in Jen's circle will tell her how cringe and self-important it is to name and brand an annual vacation, announce it like it's a world tour, and then go to the town and act like the main character and post all about it, year after year. Does this content really appeal to anyone beyond Jen's ego and need for importance? Of all of the cringe things Jen does, this is right behind the constant product endorsements, but those are at least making her money. What is she getting out of this business-wise?

And I agree with other posters here, if I had a month to travel I would want to do it with friends or my family. The fact that she's content to sit in a new town alone and work at getting the locals to worship instead of being with her own family or friends says a lot.

I agree with this so much. Aren’t vacations supposed to be either your family and dearest loved ones? I’m Jens’s age and while I do love brief solo work/fun trips and can decompress from things from time to time the idea of a yearly month long solo MeCamp is deeply deeply weird. Jen has five kids. What are they going this month? House sitting? Making sure the plants don’t die? Meanwhile mom is bringing leftover food to older couples in coastal Oregon?

I think Jen gets special discounts and free bees at her MeCamps and wanted to turn it into a vehicle to maybe get a book orcTV deal or something.

Jen’s nauseatingly obsequious way of introducing her podcast guests tickle me. D listers much suck up to C listers I guess.

“We are losing our minds a little here because joining us on the podcast this week is a woman who shaped an entire era of pop culture — Jennie Garth. THE Kelly Taylor from Beverly Hills 90210, whose journey many of us grew up watching.”

Losing our minds for THE Kelly Taylor??!!

THE Kelly Taylor? Who talk or thinks that way.

Jen’s intros rival Tom Bilyeu’s over the top treacle on Impact Theory. He and his wife are near Sis and Sass levels of cringe but they actually have money

This forum is amazing. It was sent to me by a friend. We both were in the hatmaker orbit years ago. This brings back so many memories.some good, a lot bad. I always had a sense something was off about that couple.
