I’m guessing her publicist is doing a ton of groundwork before she goes setting up opportunities for her at these towns and at restaurants and shops. Trading on the publicity for staged invitations.
Having met Jen in real life she’s not that magical or charismatic. She’s friendly but not the person you meet and think gosh let’s invite her to family dinner or “I just met my new best friend.” I thought someone posted (maybe on Reddit) after the first me camp that they were in that town and Jen was making shit up and the people at one of the stores she played up said they met her for 5 min? Does anyone remember that post???
These events are if not made up, seriously contrived.
Thanks for sharing. Also for sharing your experience meeting Tina and Brandon.
I used to imagine that Jen in real life must have some natural charisma to build up such a strong network of friends and family. Now, like many of you, I don’t believe in the quality of those relationships and I think Jen is someone who people stick to because she’s obnoxious and overbearing. She holds power. The insta rich lifestyle may seem lame to many of us but I wouldn’t be surprised if she dangles fairly basic but alluring treats to keep people bowing to her. Concert tickets here, rooms comped there, etc. Just the cred of being on the inner circle of a “celeb” can be incredibly intoxicating.
I also travel a lot and have made a ton of “vacay besties”. I’m definitely no social butterfly either. So I understand that these encounters could likely happen but again, the way she proudly turns everything into Hallmark chic is nauseating. No Jen, I don’t believe you’ve been magically transported to Virgin River for this Me Camp. The majority of these invites and promises from vacay besties never materialize either.
