Jen’s crumbling empire of vanity and emptiness for all to see.

Was it worth it, Jen?

Isn’t Remy only 17? Why would she be kicked out of her room to make an office? With that many kids, wouldn’t there be other empty rooms? Jen is acting like she’s some failure-to-launch 30-something that’s squatting there and just consuming resources. Geez! Poor girl.

What happened to Brandon’s office? I vaguely remember him having an office. She couldn’t convert that room? She comes across as just vapid and mean-spirited. She seems to have some self awareness that she has a big ego and zero humility and doesn’t seem embarrassed by this? Does she have any pictures of her kids on that shelf? That video sums up her entire character and I can’t imagine wanting to be friends with someone like that.

Where is the post about the new offices/ Remy's shoes?
It appears Jen is gaining back weight and she looks more and more unhealthy. The choice of clothing is often way too young for her. Clearly, she is struggling with the inevitability of getting older. I only mention the weight because I think it will be very hard for her to deal with given that she must compare herself with her exes wife.
I noticed in another recent video she was almost filming down the front of her shirt. I thought that seemed weird and desperate and wondered if she was maybe a bit drunk.
When you look back a few years, Jen is strong and healthy looking, brunette, a bit chubby but very attractive. The best thing for her would be to get out of the very destructive career path and reconnect with her kids and old friends. Jesus too.

I think she only has two audiences for her videos: Tyler and Brandon. For Tyler is her thirstiness of showing his book and always promoting him. For Brandon she wants to ensure he knows he screwed her over but she's FINE!

The posts about the shoes and the office were on her Instagram stories, which delete after 24 hours.

Her current FB post says that, “frustratingly, exhaustively, she is BACK to doing body image work” and quotes extensively from the section of her book that talks about loving our bodies.

The office one is still on her stories.

Wow. This is really rude. Body shame much? Ageist much? Chubby? Gaining weight? Wow.

Agreed. Not a fan of the "too young" clothing thing, as I say wear what you like. Also don't even get this comment. I live in Jen's area, and most 40-something moms dress this way. Not chasing every trend, but still wanting to look cute and fairly current. The style is different down here than in more preppy areas.

I think the other audience is moms who love to compare notes about what a hot mess life is. I encounter these in the wild at school activities. Usually moms without a lot going on, for whom a toy pile is a crisis to chat about endlessly.

My issues with Jen and her ilk has never been her looks. Even with some style and hair choices I wouldn't recommend she's a very pretty woman approaching her 50s. No shade there.

It's her toxic, exploitive business model and narcissistic hypocritical predatory personality that I find fault with.

I liked Jen a lot about five years ago. Found her charming a relatable. But around the time of her rebranded 7 book, the one against excess, I started seeing this generation of online influencers growing in popularity and I started getting a real icky feeling, Jen included.

The hypocrisy of writing a book like 7 while personally living the exact opposite in every way to the point you have to hire huge junket trailers once a year broke me.

I meant no shame. I would be the last person to do that, as I would be considered " obese" by any standards- ridiculous standards imo.
I mean that I think she will be very affected if she gains weight- in a bad way- given the tummy tuck/ bikini trip post divorce.
Also, I probably used the wrong word in dressing "too young". What I meant was when people rapidly change their style- and it becomes more flash- maybe they are not content with themselves.
It is sad to see a normal looking, attractive woman competing with a Barbie doll looking new wife, and I think Jen is doing that. It would be so good for her to just take a break.
And the word "chubby"? Chubby is fine. I am a " chubby" gma of 3 beautiful " chubby" daughters and 1 beautiful " chubby" granddaughter. Who cares? We don't.

Does anyone in her inner circle advocate for Remy?

People who know Remy in real life have tried, including her teachers. We can all see that she's on the spectrum and Jen refuses to get her diagnosed or get the right treatment for her. She could be doing much better if Jen would actually get her help instead of sending her away. That is Jen's solution to it all. She sent her to a summer-long camp and then sent her to Spain. Remy is a handful that is true but that is because she's never been in a program or had a therapist experienced with autism that would help her with her anxiety and social skills so she just keeps acting the same way with no guidance and Jen just making light of it. The feeling is that Jen is just biding her time before Remy leaves home. People I know who have tried to talk to her about this say it's impossible because she is evasive and just tries to be funny and cute and waves it away as Remy being quirky. Like how she describes the son as just being spirited when he gets a DUI.

Oh and she got Remy a therapist and then started seeing the same therapist for her own therapy and then started a Me Course with her. So even Remy's therapist got stolen by Jen.

Ugh. That's terrible. And where is Brandon in all this? Jen is the custodial parent, but perhaps he could peek out from under his stupid hat once in a while. Sorry, I really hate his hats. Why does he wear them so low?

I am divorced and this is all pretty normal - trying out new styles to find yourself again, sometimes failing, sometimes succeeding. It's a journey! Some women go all out trying to be the hottest thing around with tight and short everything. Not my look, but hey - go for it if you can pull it off. Jen is pretty tame in comparison.
