She should marry a lesbian athlete and write about it. Oh, wait, Glennon Doyle already did that when her fairytale marriage imploded.

I got "Girl Wash Your Face" from the library and tried to read it and couldn't make it through more than a few chapters. She is just so... basic. And I couldn't figure out why she thought she was qualified to give advice on anything.

The title of her books alone turned me off on her. Have never read them. She seems annoying.

He seems gay.

I somehow watched her talk on Amazon prime. Cheesy and unoriginal, with a tinge of fake, but you know what? I was feeling in a slump and it got me jazzed up to tackle something I had been putting off. It was the kick in the butt I needed to stop making excuses and jump out of my comfort zone.

I don't follow Instagram or her writing, but her talk helped me. I'm sorry of she's going through a rough time.

Right? And, it's hard not to notice how many of these influencer couples, especially ones that veer conservative, implode when either the husband or the wife hits 40-something and can't stay closeted anymore.

She made possibly millions selling a perfect marriage and life. I am confused...which came first...Glennon's "Together Rising" or this one's "Rise together." They both also preach and give mental health advice from their asses with no psychology degree and they hop around on stage and toss around their beauty parlor hair. My bet is he comes out as gay and she comes out as a lesbian or bisexual. She will follow the Glennon model and write a book. She will join Glennon on stage one day and say Glennon's book Untamed made her realize she needed to break free of her marriage. She will find some famous woman to date to ensure she keeps her fame.

This. I saw an IG post where she chanted something about if you fall get back up. Gosh I've never heard that one before. I mean WTF else are you going to do if you fall. Sit there with scrapes. Of course you get up literally and proverbially. She is preying on some very unhappy and not too swift people by re-using such basic ideas.

Same. I thought Girl, Stop Apologizing would be an enjoyable light read, but I really couldn't stand reading it. It was like she thought she came up with the concept of being a working mom.

I’m not shocked at all.
Irritated by the fact that Dave said in his announcement “This is a choice we’ve been thinking about for years”
Who in their right mind sells books regarding marriage advice, conference tickets to relationship conferences, and does a relationship podcast if you’ve been considering divorce for years?!?
I guess you can fake a smile for a long time if money is involved.

Of course you can. Plenty of people do it all the time because they can't afford 2 households and think they can tough it out.

Does anyone know any good entertainment news podcasts that might talk about this, the Bon Apetit stuff, etc?

This is a good look into the divorce

I don't know anything about this woman or her blog. But let's try to have some compassion. People live in denial and/or cling to the hope things will get better. That's not intentional fraud - it's a human response to fear of losing someone you love. Anyone who has actually been married for more than 5 minutes and has an ounce of introspection gets this.

But she didn't just live in denial. She had a podcast where she talked about how amazing their marriage was. She is such a fake.

Agree! Plus, sounds like they adopted when marriage was falling apart

Don't even get me started on the adoption. She openly admitted that she adopted so she could be guaranteed a daughter. Bet her sons feel really loved knowing that her life wasn't complete until she got her trophy daughter.

Ouch. They're coming for her blood.

For a woman who’s based her entire brand on telling it like it is, it looks like Rachel’s only been telling you what she thinks you need to hear. But this recent revelation suggests that the slightly sloppy yet miraculously put together Hollis hasn’t been as honest or vulnerable as she’s claimed.

After all, wouldn’t her fans have had some sort of inkling that the power couple was deeply struggling?

This whole story reeks of curated authenticity and it’s reminiscent of that other mommy blogger, Myka Stauffer, who recently gave away her adopted son. Granted, husbands are much easier (and far less controversial) to leave than a child. But much like Hollis, Myka has made a name for herself for supposedly being vulnerable and authentic.

So, when they reveal something so significant in their lives that shocks virtually their entire fan base, something about that tastes pretty damn fishy. Like the discovery that maybe these women aren’t so real after all.
