Jen Hatmaker

[Anonymous]

I think Jen needs to retake her own Sex Me Course so she can promote it without looking down at her own notes so much when shilling for it. And she can’t keep focused looking into the camera / making “eye contact”. Makes her look shady / shifty like she doesn’t believe her own words. Or she’s embarrassed to be shilling her sex course.

Oh, wow. I haven’t followed Jen Hatmaker for years. Can we just all give the poor woman some privacy so she can reset in peace? Just because someone is asking for the attention, doesn’t mean you need to give it to them. If she’s not getting clicks, she’ll eventually find another job, and hopefully, some peace.

I've started to wonder how much of the desperation we're seeing with the shilling is about being able to maintain the lifestyle she's become accustomed to. I have no clue what sort of alimony she's getting, if any, and I know there is speculation about possible misuse of money on Brandon's part pre-divorce. But I know a lot of people who had to majorly downsize their lives after a divorce and I wonder if the seemingly relentless self-promotion is driven by her need to keep up appearances. It seems that a lot of work went into that house and I wouldn't want to leave it either, but it's her and one kid at home, so I just wonder how she maintains everything if her main source of income is book royalties and affiliate marketing. That would be super stressful.

I’m sure she made some $ selling the lake house at the height of its value. Nice little nest egg. But that approaching two years ago. Money must be drying up.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Jen was strapped for cash despite her trying to present as some financial guru these days. She made that post about being able to fly all over the country and buy theater tickets and whatnot but it’s not like she’s doing that every weekend. When you think about it, she’s probably seen Tyler less than ten times in person total.

The only child that seems pretty independent is Gavin. I wouldn’t be surprised if the rest were still financially dependent on mom and dad to a certain degree. I also doubt that Brandon and Tina are making much selling those plots. I’ve yet to see any celebratory posts about a sale.

An old house also takes a lot to maintain, especially now Brandon is gone, she probably has to hire people to do most of the handy work.

Who knows if she’s been saving for retirement. Considering all her health issues, I wouldn’t be surprised if medical bills and insurance are a huge drain. Then she has all her cosmetic procedures. Even just maintaining that awful blonde hair probably costs a fortune.

Jen might be doing okay for the moment but thinking about the future has got to be scary. She’s already alluded that Remy is on the spectrum and may never be able to live independently. Elderly influencers with zero substance also don’t have a reputation for raking in the big bucks. Not a chance that she’ll be able to depend on Tyler to share the load, nor any other man if she continues to tether herself to Tyler.

The shilling is definitely financial motivated. I am all for the hustle. But what looks normal in real life - pick up another job, walk dogs, whatever you need to do - looks chaotic when you’re an influencer without a core focus. That’s the rub of living life online.

She has honest options:
-write articles for Today show about parenting and other stuff they’ve called her as a guest. I know she’s out of the thick of parenting and her kids don’t want to be her content but she writes those motivational blogs pretty well
-promote the book and try to get some food sponsorships
-try to wedge her way into Legacy as a more full time role to get donations that’s more of a job than board member.
-do something similar with Noonday or something in that charitable vein

She doesn’t have to sell clothes and MLK makeup. That’s not sustainable as a near 50 yo, she’s not good at it bc she has no fashion sense and doesn’t have good skin to promote skincare or beauty products. She doesn’t have to set up a cheap and tacky cruise or worse, these me courses.

Stop spending month long vacations on yourself bc if you can’t afford it and don’t want a real job then you’re creating this spiral for yourself.

There are ways out of this situation she created.

It’s go to be terrifying having a season of financial wealth then experience a downward ratcheting of financial security. Not all at once, but over time. Jen got used to a certain East lifestyle of MeCamps and jet-setting and expensive dinners and concert and Broadway trips. One can sustain that when one is inking $100,000 book advance deals and filling theaters on speaking tours. But imagine trying to do that plus pay for cosmetic surgeries and health care premiums and mortgage payments and assistant salaries and car notes and everything else when you are now making 1/3rd of what you made just four or five years ago??

Sometimes I feel bad snarking because she's ultimately trying to put food on the table and look good in a publicly shit situation. I know I've felt the need to prove myself when an ex has moved on.
But again, that's the trap of being this type of influencer. Your life is the product and the content. It's like reality TV, and there's a reason those shows bring in new cast members every season!

Today pays writers absolute crap.
She could definitely make cooking her niche and bring in lots of sponsors!
Jen doesn’t want a full time job with legacy. She doesn’t want any typical full time work.
Noonday had their heyday, but that ship has sailed.

Are you for real? We are the problem bc we’re not giving Jen … privacy? A woman who is asking us all to go on a cruise with her and talk about her clitoris? Now that’s funny.

Big Sis all with the sads reflecting on how she used to have My Big Family Spring Breaks with all the rowdy kids and the friends and the lake house and the husband and the life and now she’s alone and working in her house all week.

For once I like a post of hers.

Agreed. This is Jen at her best.
