I had a genuine friendship with Mark way back when he was a pastor at a megachurch (circa 2006ish?). I also was acquaintances with Kristen back then, and with Kristen's boyfriend a few years back. Chad is the real deal. Down to earth, funny, caring.
Mark seemed pretty fake to me even back then (looking back, I think he was really trying to like being a church pastor), and extremely extroverted to the point of being almost flirty with some other women.
The fact he seems to not care less about being by all accounts a deadbeat dad (and the fact that i get vibes from the new wife that she loves that about him) is really gross.
And as someone who struggled with an eating disorder years ago... There is no way she doesn't have anorexia.
