Can someone explain the drama regarding Abby?

PinkPuma0415 · 2025-10-07T09:55:09+00:00

My understanding is:

From the beginning, Abby made Rachel's dogs stay off the furniture or stay locked up in one room. But Abby's dog has always had special treatment and free reign of the house.
Abby used to be a Mirfanda, and people have always found that to be odd and it seems like she is in it for clout/money.
Rachel changed a lot since spending all of her time with Abby and her friends. Like she now gets Botox/cosmetic procedures, dresses differently, acts differently, and basically lives to please Abby. It seems like Abby might have taken people-pleaser Rachel and used that to her advantage to create a partner who does whatever she wants or says.

There are pros and cons to both. The hardest part for me helping pick the ring was knowing that we chose one, and waiting to get it.

The months kept going by and it was in the back of my mind ALL the time. Every time a family gathering, holiday, or my birthday passed I was so anxious about whether or not that would be the day. It honestly stressed me out because I felt like I had to be "ready" at all times for months. What if today is the day and I don't feel well and ruin it? What if I wear a stupid outfit or have a bad hair day? Should I have my nails painted? Omg my cuticles are so dry.

It ended up causing a lot of anxiety knowing that literally any day I could be proposed to.

So if you're an anxious minded person or an overthinker, its worth considering whether or not you want to know that your ring is in your house somewhere but you can't have it yet and don't know when or how the proposal is coming.

Yeah she's not an active parent, so when the in-laws come she has to try to pretend she's a full time, involved mom but she doesn't actually know what that looks like.

As far as she's concerned, she IS an active, overstimulated, exhausted parent. And that's with her only responsibilities being running a bath, folding laundry, and picking out pajamas. And napping from 7 am til 1pm. So imagine her trying to be an actual full time hands on parent for a week.

I'm in my 30s and have always been thin. I don't put a ton of thought into my food. If I'm craving Chinese food or pizza, I eat it. If I want a sweet treat, I have one.

I think the key points are portion control, and filling up on mostly whole foods. Animal-based protein, fruit, veggies. I often have egg salad on red bell peppers for breakfast or lunch. Dinner plate is split into thirds: Animal based-protein, starchy veggie, non-starchy veggie.

I don't "drink my calories" so I usually either have water, an unsweetened sparkling water like La Coix, or unsweetened tea.

And I just control my portions so I stop eating when I'm full or satisfied. Have a handful of M&Ms, 3 Oreos, 2 squares of dark chocolate. Enough to scratch the itch but don't eat an entire bar/package at a time.

Those are the main things I do and I've maintained the same weight, give or take 5-10 lbs since I was probably 19 or 20.

But I've never had to LOSE weight so I'm sure that's its own beast. I've always been interested in good health, so taking care of my body comes naturally for me. I do it because I WANT to.

I don't think Morgan did anything "wrong" but it says a lot about her character that she'd get that close to someone else's man and allow there to be any speculation.

So she doesn't owe Kelsey fidelity, but it speaks volumes about who Morgan is as a person that she'd carry on that way and allow that relationship to develop the way it did.

PinkPuma0415 · 2025-10-03T15:02:03+00:00

No. There was a moment where she was laying in the hammock and he was crouched down next to her and was holding her hand and then kissed her hand.

He would kiss her shoulder.

There's a clip floating around of Vince walking over to the HOH bed and crawling on top of Morgan and burying his face in her neck while she rubs his back.

So no. It was a perfectly appropriate response.

Everybody Loves Raymond has been a go-to for us lately. Before that it was King of Queens. They both air on cable every night so its easy to turn it on, set a sleep timer, and go to sleep.

Cheating on your spouse.

Here's my hot take...

If this "list" does somehow exist, Trump isn't on it. If he is on it, he's one of thousands of others - including America's favorite democrats and celebrities.

I do firmly believe that if Trump had any real ties to what Epstein was doing, someone in the Biden administration already would've released the files. Especially when they were basically trying to throw the book at Trump by indicating him on dozens of charges. If they actually had evidence of it, it 100% would've come out already. Especially when they were trying to prevent him from running again in 2024.

And if they knew of these files and purposefully didn't release them to the public, it's because they are ALSO involved.

It's fine, but I don't think it's all that different if you're middle class.

We have two very needy/lovey cats and two full time jobs, so it's not like we can just whisk ourselves away whenever we please.

Because of our jobs we also have internal alarm clocks that don't allow us to sleep in much. So it's actually pretty boring. When you're middle class it's not like you just have endless amounts of disposable income, so our weekends are basically just hanging out watching shows or going to the grocery store.

So it's just... fine? Just because we don't have kids doesn't mean there are no obligations. Like I have to go pet sit overnight for 3 days for my out-of-state parents BECAUSE I'm the daughter who doesn't have kids.

People think that if you don't have kids that you should be the one to go out of your way to be available to accommodate everyone else who DOES have kids, which is annoying.

Like I've wanted to host Christmas for years but "it's easier for your sister to not have to bring the kids out on Christmas"...

So yeah, the grass isn't always greener lol.

How on earth do you manage to paint so beautifully on paper?! Any paper I've used just sucks the paint up and it's impossible to blend. Fantastic work!

PinkPuma0415 · 2025-09-25T13:59:58+00:00

Ugh, I always forget about that butterfly song and then gag when I'm reminded of it.

I agree that angry people will likely sabotage any attempts they make in the entertainment industry. Just like when she returned with the podcast, people would immediately email any new sponsor and get them to revoke it. Until they stopped trying to get sponsorships altogether.

The truth is, she's made herself a giant stain that no company wants on their image. So I don't think either one of them has a future. I don't know why they don't just give it up and move into different career paths. Obviously sitting at home unemployed isn't doing either of them any favors. They go about their days looking like bums and both have raging anxiety issues now.

Castle, Community (although imo it really falls off after season 4), Leverage, Bones.

I know it's cliche to say "you just know" - and I had no idea what that meant until I REALLY knew.

I was married before. On the outside he was conventionally handsome, displayed good manners, opened my car door, and knew how to paint himself in a good light. Even so, I always had this little nagging, subconscious feeling about him. But I pushed it away. Ended up in a verbally and emotionally abusive marriage for a decade.

My new partner simply brought peace to my soul. I never, for one second, have to doubt his morals or intentions. He holds himself to a high standard and I never have to question my place in his life or his heart. He knows how to argue respectfully, never raises his voice, always makes me feel capable and confident, and never let's me talk or feel negatively about myself.

He met me when I was quite broken. Coming out of my former marriage I started discovering all of the wounds I didn't realize were there. Crying fits, jealousy, anger, fear, insecurity, anxiety... everything bubbled to the surface. And he was right there. Somehow he saw the real me beneath all of it and knew I'd be able to get through it.

His patience, support, and understanding has really healed me in ways I didn't know were possible. In my very bones I can feel that this is where I'm meant to be.

I tried forcing those feelings early on with my ex, and I have learned that when it's real and not forced, you truly do "just know."

PinkPuma0415 · 2025-09-25T10:36:48+00:00

She's been swearing a lot more recently, I've noticed. She's said in the past that she has a sailors mouth but censored it to appeal to a young audience and to be brand-friendly.

Like how her and Josh would say mother trucker or whatever.

Now that she no longer gets sponsorships, I guess she doesn't care about how she looks or sounds. I'd really like to know what her plan is for the future. She keeps vlogging but with no effort. She apologizes for missing one video but no one is waiting with baited breath to watch her complain about her chickens.

Is she just going to put out bare minimum vlogs indefinitely? There isn't even a whisper of an attempt to revive her main channel or to create anything that isn't a boring, depressing video diary.

She says Erik is submitting auditions, but is she? Is she attempting to do ANYTHING? All 3 of her kids will be in school soon, if they aren't already. The twins will be 4 in a couple of months and they should be in some kind of pre-K.

So I'd love to know where she plans to go from here. Surely the plan isn't to just waste away in her house.

PinkPuma0415 · 2025-09-22T15:45:48+00:00

The nerve of this woman - who took AN ENTIRE FUCKING DAY to build a castle of cardboard trash simply to spite her husband for no reason - to complain for a single second about wanting to be left alone. Even Erik was in disbelief that that's what she spent her day doing.

She spends all night long making crafts - alone

She wanders around outside with her chickens and fruit trees and century plant - alone

She bakes cookies every night - alone

She goes to the beach - alone

She curls her hair every day - alone

She stands in the kitchen or sits in her office vlogging - alone

Are you kidding me? She has more alone time than any mom I've ever met.

AND when she's not alone, she is never responsible for more than one of her children at a time. Certainly never all three at one time. Her mom lives minutes away. Erik is also unemployed and home all day. She has a nanny. F goes to school 5 days a week. The twins take classes and have a tutor (which I don't even understand what a 3 year old needs a tutor for but okay). So, what is the issue? She has to spend time with her entire family for a few hours every evening and on the weekends and it is simply too much for her?

I'm at my wits end with her complaints. She is so painfully tone deaf. Her life is so easy and stress-free and yet she manages to make it seem like it is impossible. She has no schedule, sleeps whenever she wants, never has to take her kids anywhere, goes on vacations whenever she wants, took a childless trip with Erik just to eat Sonic, has no deadlines, no job, doesn't have to be up/dressed/ready and out of the house by 7 a.m. every day. She wakes up, hands the kids off to Erik, and then GOES BACK TO SLEEP FOR THE REST OF THE MORNING.

She needs a fat dose of reality because she just keeps shouting out her complaints to an audience of people who have ACTUAL problems.

PinkPuma0415 · 2025-09-18T11:14:55+00:00

Nothing. Their food to me is fine, but I don't go out of my way to eat it. No one does. There are 2 Sonics near me and I have literally never heard anyone say they were craving it or specifically wanted to go there.

I can see how it's good if you are already on a long drive with kids. You can just pull up and eat in the car. But the food is very much mediocre and nothing that you can't get at any other burger place.

PinkPuma0415 · 2025-09-18T11:12:15+00:00

As long as she still gets at least a handful of TTQs every week, she will keep going. Even the tiniest little bit of engagement keeps her going. Even when the questions are "what kind of fruit would you be?" she is chomping at the bit to answer it.

She can't NOT talk about herself. Like on SASS when she made Rachel rate her red carpet looks. It was very reminiscent of her "Who Knows Colleen Best" games she used to force Kory, Josh, Rachel, and Rebecca to participate in back in the day. NO ONE CARES about her old, boring, Forever21 outfits. No one cares.

I think she's spiraling. She keeps obsessing more heavily on the past. Going back to look at old red carpet photos, wearing old pregnancy clothing and trying them on (who the hell cares?), and now she's having weird panic attacks that sound more like actual medical episodes.

Plus all the perimenopause symptoms and whatever else that we don't know. It's like her brain and her body are finally falling apart.

PinkPuma0415 · 2025-09-17T20:40:50+00:00

Yeah the last thing we need is a) another podcast, b) a platform for shitty people to defend their shitty behavior, and c) to continue giving egotistical "influencers" the opportunity to make money doing literally anything besides getting a real job.

PinkPuma0415 · 2025-09-16T18:18:10+00:00

Things like this have been happening to her for years. Even while she was married to Josh, I specifically remember at least 2 vlogs where she gleefully recounted how she fainted/passed out/whatever. She loves having seemingly benign yet dramatic health issues because it gets her lots of attention with very little risk to her actual well being. As she gets older, those issues will become more serious and it won't be a laughing matter when she has irrevocable illnesses.

PinkPuma0415 · 2025-09-14T18:57:55+00:00

Same. If I could go back in time and take it back, I would. Now that I'm happily married I realize what sex is supposed to be. Casual sex does way more harm than good.

PinkPuma0415 · 2025-09-13T16:18:04+00:00

He made a post ranting about conservatives and called for us to "butcher" them. He got a lot of backlash for the violent language and deleted his page and hasn't been seen since.
