Why does Tyler think people want his commentary on.every.single.thing? “OMG! Someone famous died! I get to wax poetically even though this person didn’t impact my life in any way! I didn’t even know she broke glass ceilings! But I’m gonna post about it!”

Just cool your social media thirst for middle aged white ladies liking your posts.
It is so irrelevant to his lane and his brand. It may be what he thinks his audience (middle aged white women) want to read but if that were true then you'd see Jen/Glennon and others do it and they simply don't tread in those waters.

Jen and Glennon do it for everyone they deem "marginalized" or overlooked by society, according to their fathomless wisdom. Glennon's sister wears a stupid shirt that reads, "Punch Nazis in the Face!" Like, who doesn't want to punch Nazis? They are so ridiculous. Abby could do so much better.

Today is awkward indeed. Brandon posts about the love of his life, Tina. Jen posts about the loves of her life, Brandon and Tyler, and Tyler posts about the loves of his life, problematic old White ladies (NOT including Jen lmao). For a Black activist, it’s not just that he doesn’t feature Black people, it’s that he’s not even slightly critical of the White people he posts about. What happened to deconstructing White supremacy man???

This is so hilarious and true. Tyler has a fetish for problematic old White ladies like Jen fetishizes Black women and Black crime victims.

What a vile take on Jen’s advocacy. What do you even mean?

Why are we so sure Jen had a tummy tuck? I always assumed her weight loss was stress related. (I lost 20 pounds in three weeks when I had a traumatic breakup and it wasn't even a marriage.) For some people, stress manifests as low-grade constant nausea and a lack of interest in food. It's not unusual for people to either gain or lose a lot of weight when stressed, so do we have a reason to believe she had plastic surgery or was it just a possible answer to rapid weight loss?

With narcissism becoming the norm, it follows that ANY perceived or real transgression against you in ANY way is reason enough for you to extricate yourself from the relationship/situation. No one has the resilience or endurance to stay and work through issues, problems, etc.

Jen and Brandon appeared to have built a strong marriage and family, enough that they were able to add to it and to minister to others in a meaningful way. Then they got caught up in appearances, fame, fortune and it all went to hell.

The real blessing to the masses would be to encourage readers not to choose the life she chose. Warn them, Jen! Use your platform for good and not for shilling and selfish gain and image-curation…Stop using it to protect your narrative and instead, show people why we all need Jesus in the first place! Because we are messy and sinful and all susceptible to this world. Instead of encouraging women to strive to be self-sufficient and hotter-than-ever and successful, just try to keep families together. Point people to Christ again—Jesus, who made it clear we weren’t meant to be self-sufficient. And clear that success in the Kingdom looks nothing like talk show appearances and brand names and relaxed self-pampering. Tell your readers the truth about your family—once they’re split, they’re split… And the kids will feel guilty about the time they are “abandoning” one parent to be with the other… Or even “worse” bonding with the new step parent—tell people how you really feel about how much your children love Tina! Tell people how it feels to love a man for 25+ years, but choosing not to forgive him or love him through his own pain, because you’ve put yourself on such a high pedestal… then how you’re shocked and dismayed when he turns out to be a wonderful husband and father still, just like you knew him to be… Only you no longer get him for yourself. You are stuck with starting over with someone who not only doesn’t know you as well as Brandon but isn’t even interested in getting to know you as well as Brandon did.

That’s the message Jen should be honest about… Rather than trying to pretend like red stilettos and empty sex with a new boyfriend and me-camp-getaways can replace a family. Those are distractions at best. But she won’t be honest about the loneliness or the regrets… She won’t call her behavior selfish or sad… Because misery loves company. She’s hoping her audience follows her right off this cliff… and buys her products on the way down.

Women should be successful and self sufficient and not have to put up with cheating and addicted husbands.

The point was to be dependent on Christ for all things…like Jen used to encourage. We’ll fail others, others will fail us, and we’ll even fail ourselves. But Jesus will never fail us. That’s it. The only one.

Brandon failed everyone around him and Jen’s response was “that’s okay I didn’t need you anyway. I can take care of myself.” The point is, no she can’t. And her lying to people about it only hurts, not helps, other women. She can entertain herself. She can live in denial. She can mostly survive. But how are her addictions to attention, control, and fancy-living any different really from Brandon’s addictions to sex, money, and freedom? Ironically, if they had just faced it together, they could have had it all…he loves to shower with attention and nice things. She could have provided sex and funds. Now they’re still striving for all the same things as before, except with a little more stress on them AND their kids. No thanks.

Any time Brandon mentions Tina it’s about how she makes him feel/how she is for him. His engagement post especially was like that

I knew my husband was the one I wanted to marry when I realized that his happiness had become as important as my own. And as imperfect as we are, and our marriage is, we have made it 20 years.

Congrats on 20 years. My husband and I are 3/4 there. Looking at them past and present, Brandon cared about his happiness and Jen’s happiness. Jen cared about Jen’s happiness. That’s how she was able to obliviously feel secure in how everything was going, until it suddenly imploded. Because she had been happy enough with the image she had built and was maintaining, she did not even notice Brandon’s struggles or needs. Ironically, now it’s Jen who is in a relationship that’s all give, little to receive. It’s now her trying to keep Tyler happy, engaged, and propped up while he gives her nothing. Good for Brandon finding someone who loves what he gives her AND loves to give right back to him. That can last AND be a lot of fun.

Wow. I never thought about it before reading these tonight, but Brandon wanted the same things then and now. Respect and sex and to be the hype guy for people he loves. He didn’t change. He still thrives on sex (as evidenced by all the Tina boob posts LOL) and respect and hyping his people. Simple. He went after it the wrong way when Jen wouldn’t give him any of it, and everyone paid for that. But Jen on the other hand is who denied him respect and sex, and after losing him, all she apparently wants to give Tyler is respect and sex, but no one can tell if he even cares…

Yesssss. “If Jen had treated Brandon like she treats Tyler, none of this would have happened.” 😳 As they say about hindsight…

Tomorrow’s a day for resolutions, so may the Hatmaker examples be our encouragement to love our people well, forgive generously, put others ahead of ourselves, choose faith and family over fame and the fleeting, and strive for authenticity. Otherwise we too might end up looking like the “Real (former) Housewives of Buda TX: Broken (families), Desperate (shills), and Faking-It-Til-We-Hopefully-Make-it”…and if Jen and Tyler didn’t at least pretend to spend NYE together…🙄🤦‍♀️ then why are we even still talking about that facade???

[Anonymous]

Tyler is probably with his ride or die single female bestie for NYE. 😂 Mayyyyybe he let Jen tag along.

His ride or die is a man…no judgment

Can you imagine Brandon evvverrr telling Tina that maybe they could start something, but only if 1) his best friend (a single female) approves, and 2) if Tina understands that his best friend (a single female) is still his first priority?

Bahahahahahahaha

Nah, Brandon was like, gurl, you’re all I want. I’ll give you everything. All my love and attention and money. Marry me. Why are you so hot? Let me tell the world about you. Let’s travel together. And take all the pictures together. And work together. I wonder what else they do together… 🤣😂 especially with back-to-back birthday and New Year’s Eve. Yikes. Don’t knock.

Jen—WAKE UP. Tyler ain’t it.

He then added, "I came back to her and it got real technical.  Listen, it got real clinical.  I came to her and I was like, "Okay, I feel like I may have some feelings for you.  All right, there's a couple of things you're going to need to understand.  My best friend is a girl, the person who I spend 98% of my time I'm with is another single woman who is my ride or die, and so you just need to know this, and coming into this that's not going to change because that's my best friend.  I'm surrounded by a ton of women."
