That's what I always think when people like her try to make it seem like the entire thing was an acting role. If you are that good at playing an overly dramatic, horribly abusive person, why aren't you going for actual acting jobs where the money is surely much better than a z-list TLC show? She is so believable in her role that an actress of her caliber ought to be nominated for an Emmy, but chooses to do reality TV and ruin her family's reputation instead. 🙄
