Bessey is the same; all this authenticity and genuine-ness but she can't own up to getting big help to lose a huge amount of weight.


I didn’t even know Oprah had an audience anymore. I’m not a huge tv watcher, mostly streaming shows on different platforms. I read a lot of different publications both print and online. I only occasionally hear mention of Oprah endorsing a book or being brought in for a one-time TV special as an interview host. If she still does anything regular on screen or in writing or via social media, I’m totally clueless to it. I think I would be in her prime target audience based on my age and interests. I honestly thought she was doing the weight talk thing as a paid endorsement celebrity guest. Her PR person is missing the boat if Oprah still has a current gig. And I assume Jen does her own PR?


I too thought Oprah long retired. How do Jenn and Sarah claim to have lost weight?

Jen’s kids seem to love and respect her and apart from the usual shenanigans seem to be doing just fine. And no I'm not a Jen fan in the slightest. For this she and Brandon should be commended.

My issues with Jen are around her gross predatory exploitation of vulnerable women in the guise of “service” to her “tribe”. She’s a prime example of the worst of late stage capitalism which is ironic given how much she is desperate to pose as one of the “good guys”. Far from it. Absolutely gross and corrosive.

I feel confident Jen or someone in her camp is trying to switch the narrative here to a political hot topic in hopes of shutting down her snark thread.


I made the original post about Sarah Goodfellow's daughter Riley, and I am definitely not in Jen's camp. It was more to examine the lives of these children (now young adults) who grew up under the microscope of mom-blogs. The gals in Jen's internet bestie circle have children and some have sad stories (Jamie Wright's son died by suicide while she was visiting Jen in TX). Having to address the worst possible event in your life as a mom, on a public forum, is just dreadful.

Remy is most likely staying, although I wonder if Brandon and Tina would let her live with them and take classes.
I have a (former) niece who sounded a bit like Jen's description of Remy (super-inquisitive, etc) and you needed to get regular breaks from her- it was exhausting.

Jen shared in detail about the other four as each graduated, exactly what they were committed to for next plans. She was kind about Remy but only commented on her making it through high school. Perhaps Jen will not be empty nesting after all? She has had one foot out the parenting door most of Remy’s high school years anyhow. It’s harder to parent when you’re doing so long distance from a hotel room with your boyfriend.

Whoever said she should sell her home and downsize is crazy. It’s a super cool and beautiful property and a great location, probably long paid off by now too. The house is her best asset.

1000% . As a former athlete, I watched how hard my much-more-gifted teammates worked, and to have seen them lose to a boy would have just shattered me. These boys are allowed to TAKE from those girls, pure and simple. And the coaches let it happen! DO BETTER!

And the female prisoners forced to share showers and cells with often-violent men who identify as women? Who will stand up for them? DO BETTER!


It’s impossible to reason with people who believe this. It’s a lost cause. Best honestly to ignore them. Eventually the madness will fade away.


I disagree. I think the madness got this bad because too many people ignored it.
It is not just about words or language that don’t really affect us.
It is not about respect, or love, or kindness.
It’s 100% bullying, anti-science BS that puts women last.


It puts reality last. It's like the slogans on the side of the building in George Orwell's "1984:"

War is Peace
Freedom is Slavery
Ignorance is Strength

To those one could now add:

Man is Woman

Where will Jen spend her MeCamp dollars? Iowa City? Madison, WI? San Juan Islands? Fayetteville, AR?

What’s depressing is that she’s not going quietly into that good night. Since the Oprah thing her numbers are up. 🤮


You can’t keep a good grifter down, I guess.
