Statistically, the majority of Americans are pro-choice and anti church. Within those groups, there’s quite a bit of diversity. Where Jen lives in Austin, the football stadium is packed full of pro-choice, extension loving women. If Jen loses her fan base, it won’t be over these issues. Those folks left years ago. Her new model of constant selling and promo codes is what will do her in.

Idk. Most of the feminists I know don’t get plastic surgery and gush ad nauseam
about a teenage romance. But yes, I agree that the constant selling is not helping. I do think she’s running out of content though.

You’re right about the teenage romance, but way off base with the plastic surgery. You have some old fashioned idea of feminism. Most big cities have large populations of women (and men!) who are feminists and who have plastic surgery. The problem isn’t that Jen has had plastics, it’s that she’s pretending her MLM products are producing plastic surgery equivalent results.

That’s true. Joanna is pretty much the same person she was ten years ago and her brand has always been in the same lane like you said home innovation and decoration since the beginning. She hasn’t radically evolved like Jen has going from one persons to another in a desperate effort to remain relevant.

Ironically, by doing this, Joanna has been able to build up a much more successful land sustained career. By being truly authentic. Not Influencer authentic.

In ten years Jen has gone from Bible teacher to champion of thrift and material modesty to attempted HGTV personality to social justice warrior to all day everyday promo code shilling barker to cookbook writer. And by always evolving Jen’s now in a severe downturn relevance wise.

She had a good run, though. Close to ten years of grifting and shape shifting.

She never reached the heights of Rachel Hollis but she’s outlived her career wise.

The one who’s really been able to have a huge and sustained career in this space is Joanna Gaines.

She’s doing a podcast with them now.

If you suddenly see pictures with or a post about them, you’ll know either she reads here or someone else does who told her. Same as when she was getting shade here about Remy and suddenly there were posts and pictures and gushiness of them doing things together.

Well we called that one. Suddenly here’s all the besties doing bestie stuff together after a post here wondering why we haven’t seen them and if they had a falling out.

She’s so predictable.

You can’t be serious! Take off the tinfoil hat.

On Instagram stories Jen has a promo photo of her upcoming Nashville event that sooooo bad. It’s her, Tyler, and some other social climber all superimposed near one another but it’s a super bad job and Tyler is low res and totally out of focus making a Let’s get naughty face. It’s so bad. Does Jen still have a team?

Of course she has to mention Tyler’s “hook up” for the tickets and that they were in Row G 🙄. Make sure the little people know she gets better than you…. But I think Brandon “wins” this one LOL

Where do you see these pictures?

On his IG stories

Oh thank you. How do stories work? What’s the best Instagram alternative to see them? Thank you.

Brandon and Tina seem more believable as a couple that will go the distance. Jen will have her besties at least to support her when the Tyler relationship implodes. I actually like them together but no way they’ll ever move beyond long distance. Shame.

Isn’t that most people on Instagram?
