The bday video was planned bc she edited it before posting it. She could have edited out her preliminary statement that she wanted tickets to Greece and just showed the apron…or not posted it at all.


Right that's the part I don't understand. She posted that intentionally, why?!


a cry for help. As someone who has followed them for a long time she has ALWAYS made questionable sad comments. Before they were famous she had a blog and said he was happy she lost the world pageant she was in.

Sometimes, gold-digging works out swimmingly.Sometimes, it does but with a hefty tag attached to it. She's a prisoner of her own making.

She gave up her career to be a baby maker to a billionaire. Sometimes it’s not a fairytale.


Please, she's fine. Most people do not make it onto Broadway or ballet in a sustainable, long term manner.

I read business-centric publications on a regular but David Neeleman has hardly ever surfaced as a bona fide billionaire .


Plus if he has 8-9 kids, then the BF husband is destined to become a multimillionaire through inheritance, not a billionaire. Richer than me, but not big-B money.

Because:
- she saw nothing wrong with the gift
- she was passive aggressively dissing her husband
- she wanted to cause controversy to increase chatter abt her

Based on her education, my guess is 2 or 3, and 2 would be done without her purposefully embarrassing him - more subconsciously.

Passive aggressive dig at her husband via social media? She can't call him an ahole but her followers can?

This was really well done. The husband def comes off as a walking red flag. And she seems really unhappy. It’s sad


This is my favorite quote from the article. She IS in a cult. Mormonism is a cult.


“One of the most influential trad wives is Nara Smith, a 22-year-old Mormon model (four million Instagram followers) who talks in a voice so soft she sounds as though she has been brainwashed by a cult, and is constantly pregnant and draining something fermented through muslin.”


of course mormonism is a cult, i mean, are we really debating it at this point?
There is a fine line between all religions and cults.

TLDR even for Mormons this is bizarre. It seems like some kind of pioneer cosplay. It's totally self-induced hardship.


I agree with this, but still it doesn't mean she isn't happy. She has the ability to leave, and often spends time with her mom. I wouldn't love that lifestyle, but I'm sure she would be unhappy living my life as well.


Right, because that would be a very simple matter, what with the kids, the money, the property, etc. Right?
