I highly doubt the New York Times would write a piece about a second generation real estate manager. I understand internet publications like The Daily Mail and The Real Deal but this story does not feel like the right fit for the Nee York Times. |
NP says you |
Have you read the NYT lately? |
The NYTimes covers scandals all the time. |
Here's the article. Hamptons are part of the NY region, so there's a focus on their life there too. It's a sad story. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/08/nyregion/brandon-miller-suicide-debt.html |
Thanks for the link, PP. As PPs guessed, Ms. Miller is saying she had no idea about any financial strain. Meanwhile, his friends were staging financial interventions. "Although his friends could sense something was wrong, Ms. Miller has said she was unaware of the family’s financial crisis, according to two people familiar with her thinking." "Ms. Miller oversaw the daily care of the children, and Mr. Miller focused on his business, which they rarely discussed." |
I am the PP who knows people in their circle. I honestly find this situation so incredibly sad and disturbing. It's hard to stifle the schadenfreude- I am repulsed by people who brag and post like she did- but at the same time, I do believe that she was kept in the dark about the degree of financial trouble they were in. Not only does she have to manage her family's grief, but to be dragged through the mud and now sued? Ooof. That is not to say that she should not be accountable - she should. And her behavior and need to impress surely drove much of this. But man, this is a really sad situation. |
I hope the people they stole from get at least some money back. |
I have trouble related to this, and frankly anyone who is not aware of their own finances. It's one thing if your spouse is hiding it completely, but it sounds like some of the troubles were common knowledge, and yet she was spending and spending and spending. |
Obviously not successful enough. |
People don't feel sad when you've clearly wasted more money than most of us will have in our entire lifetime. So yeah, she's got to get a job and pay some bills and live in the middle class. That's how most of us live. I do not feel bad she can't shop at Chanel anymore because I think it's immoral to ever shop at Chanel. |
I wondered why she’d close her IG if she needed $$, but the NYT article said it didn’t make $$. Had no idea who these people are. |
How would she have been able to maintain her IG when it was essentially just flaunting her lifestyle when her lifestyle is gone. For those believing she didn’t know their situation, that’s impossible. In addition to what it said in the NYT article, there’s no way renting not just an apt but also furniture didn’t alert her. Believe me, in her set it’s not just about where you live but who did your place. Rentals from essentially a staging company was definitely not what she wanted. I feel for those girls bc to their mom they were essentially props. They had a loving and close relationship with their dad. I’d bet anything that the mom now focuses on getting remarried to someone with wealth. The girls are still not going to be her focus. |
True, but their kids don’t deserve it. They didn’t need or want all the opulence. They needed their dad, though. Poor girls. |
I hope her and the girls have fun living in a double wide! lol. |
