Anyone following this Candice Miller/Mama & Tata nightmare?

I read the article and what struck me was how he focused on the insurance payout in the suicide note. It's like he sacrificed his life, literally, for the money so she could keep up with her spending. It's so tragic and was all so unnecessary. They could have lived a beautiful, comfortable life within their means.

It was literally in the NYT. It’s not “buried.”

Confusing being “plastered all over the web or Tik Tok” with being a measure of interest is the same mentality that drove these people.

If it’s on the internet it must be real and true, right?

Does insurance even pay out if it’s suicide?

She definitely knew something was going on and didn’t care, cared more about her profligate spending and keeping up appearances.

I have zero sympathy for her. I’m sorry for her kids and sorry her husband felt he had no other way out.

Ew. What a shallow human being.

"Once they became official, they dated for one year before Brandon proposed. “We both knew immediately that this was forever,” Candice explains. It was Super Bowl Sunday, which “up until then was probably one of my least favorite days of the year!” Candice jokes. “I was sick, and in bed, but Brandon clearly had a plan, and my cold was stopping him.”

Her sister was “out of town” in Miami that weekend so never in a million years did Candice suspect a proposal might be coming. “Brandon called me into our living room and had a box of Louboutins out on the coffee table. He said he wanted to give me something to make me feel better, and those typically did the trick. I opened up the box to find a beautiful lilac suede pump that had been stuffed with paper and a blue thing, that I tossed out of the box so that I could immediately put the shoes on.”

She proceeded to prance around the apartment in her new heels, while Brandon picked up the “blue garbage” up off the floor, saying there was something that she’d missed. “He proceeded to get down on one knee with the little blue box, and asked me to spend the rest of my life with him!”

------------
“It rained the night of our wedding, but I believe that is actually great luck,” Candice reflects, 9 years later to the day. Now that she’s almost a decade into marriage, it’s safe to say the lifestyle blogger with the doting husband and two adorable little girls just might be onto something."

Hmmm... or not.

He didn’t pay back the people he stole from.

He's an idiot. That's not how insurance works.

Life insurance absolutely pays out in case of suicide unless it's a new policy under 2 years old.

If kids are in public social media posts, they should be entitled to all the compensation and protections of child actors. Whatever you have to do to hire a seven year old to be in a magazine ad you should have to do to post them on public social media.

Yeah they should be forced to get parent's permission and keep 15% of their payments in trust.

That’s a good start! But don’t they also get union protection (w legal services etc), a minimum wage, hours/day limits, food provided etc?

And only if the premiums were paid.

These are the consequences of trying to be popular and seen at any cost! Happiness and a good life have nothing to do with money, clothes, fancy theme parties, notoriety. Happiness is being healthy in body and mind and living a life being honest and kind to yourself and those you love. Poor woman, so misguided and delusional. She lost her life partner, not to illness, but to suicide. She deprived her daughters of a father and a good life perspective for what, another dress? Another party? Another beautiful FAKE picture of herself? She may have been beautiful in the outside, but what about the inside? After my dear brother went bankrupt from providing a lifestyle for my sister in law that she had not worked hard for, she claimed she did not know they were in financial trouble. My ass she did not know! She chose to ignore all the signs and this woman probably did. This American fascination with the rich and famous has to end. It is ugly and very very sad!

The fact that his suicide note mentioned the $15M insurance policy suggests that he really felt that his wife and kids would be better off with money, instead of him. How incredibly sad that he believed that.

With his wife’s extravagant display of wealth, maybe she signaled to him that her love for him was only as deep as his pockets.

100% this. It's so sad, I hope she knows this was all her fault.

I agree. I wonder what void the wife was trying to fill? Why did she so desperately, at all costs, want this life? It wasn’t even extravagant. It was BEYOND extravagant.

I find it shocking. I am glad I don’t know people like this. That entire lifestyle and the people who inhabit it sound like complete cretins without any authenticity. Yuck.
