And now her daughter will be raised by a porn star.

The whole thing is baffling. She's no one’s favorite tv villian but to only see her kids a few weeks every summer is nuts. My conspiracy theory is that Jim orchestrated the whole thing and moved to Tennessee to make it more difficult for her to see them. He doesn't want to have a fourth set of kids with his fourth wife so he's giving her his third wife’s kids.

Jim did not make Meghan give her son an illegal drug nor ask a school nurse to give her son an illegal drug. Your misandry is ridiculous and doesn’t recognize the seriousness of what Meghan did.


None of us has heard a thing from her side. It's all whatever his PR team has selectively leaked. I'm guessing she got her son a prescription for ritalin without Jim’s involvement, and it was considered “illegal” because they had joint legal decision-making. I can't imagine why else any reasonable, educated mother would give her kid ritalin.
Well if know who she is, you know reasonable doesn’t apply to Meghan.


I know who she was on TV, but I don't know her, and I doubt you do, either. I have a friend who played the villain on a different reality TV show. She is nothing like the person they portrayed her to be on the show. They made her the villain (with her consent) because she had thicker skin than the rest of the group, and she had some moments that made for good TV. The producers manipulate real life to serve a TV audience. She agreed to do it because it brought publicity to her company.

Meghan is undoubtedly flawed, but buying ritalin off the streets to drug her kid flawed? I doubt it. The story doesn't line up.



Trust me, she would have protested very vocally if there was no truth to it.


Why would I trust you? She's probably been gagged by Jim's team.



How would that work exactly? Why are you defending her horrible parenting?

He cheated on all his other wives and has never been much of a dad to his other kids, and Kortnie’s role has been limited to holiday parenting anf she spends most of her life on vacation. Even with a full time nanny, parenting young kids, including one with special needs is hard. Plus he has 2 other sets of kids and grandkids. This should be interesting.



How long do his marriages ever last? He seems to have the money to hire whatever support he needs and isn't the one reported to CPS, which puts his squarely ahead in parenting.

It was presented in such an extreme way. Maybe there is more to the story.

Yes, the story is likely much worse for her to have agreed to only a few weeks custody per year.


This kind of stuff happens to women all the time. Look at Elon Musk's baby mammas. Powerful, influential, rich men win in custody battles. It's not a fair fight. We have no idea what happened in this case because we've only heard from Jim's PR team. Moral of the story - it's not a good idea to have babies with someone who has a massive power imbalance over you.

She didn’t give up custody. She lost custody. The current deal is likely the best she would get at this time given her behavior.

She needs to go to rehab and become the mother these kids need. Then she can petition for more custody.


Wrong. It says they cut a deal right before court. Megan agreed to the deal. She did not lose custody. It sounds like she accepted the deal. I don’t know why.

Nope. She had already lost custody. The judge was about to make it permanent. Her deal with Jim was better than she would have faired in court.


How could a judge make it worse than this few weeks each summer? Terminate parental rights completely?


Maybe. I'm sure she accepted the deal on her lawyer's advice. Very sad. Hope she gets the help she needs and can work toward getting more custodial time in the coming years.



+1 He's not at all likable but evidently is viewed as the more stable parent right now.

How long will Kortnie and Jim’s marriage last with full-time custody? He cheated on all his other wives and has never been much of a dad to his other kids, and Kortnie’s role has been limited to holiday parenting anf she spends most of her life on vacation.

It’s possible she was struggling to parent AND that he was making it worse or not giving the support she needed. Either way I hope she does whatever she needs to do to get them back.
