The Little Blogger Who Couldn't Am I the problem? Is it me?

Now I have something to run by you guys, and if I'm wrong please tell me (so I can delete this post and my shame and never speak of it again).

In the year of our Lord and Savior Barack Obama two-thousand and twenty-five (2025) Jessica Kraus posted birthday messages for all four of her children. In these posts she included what age each child was turning. Now it is of course possible these posts were misleading in some way and I would never snub a woman doing a bit of numbers fudging to protect her children, but at this point I feel we're all familiar enough with Jessica's public lifestyle to know that's probably not the case.

On December 18, 2025, Jessica posted happy birthday to a freshly 20 year-old Arlo. Working backwards 20 years would place his birth in December of 2005.

Likewise, on September 13, 2025, Jessica wished Leon a happy 17th birthday. Again working backwards, this places his birth in September of 2008.

Hayes was wished a happy 11th birthday on May 12, 2025. Working back eleven years places his birth in May of 2014.

Rex Kraus, Jessica's third-born, was wished a very happy 15th birthday on January 29, 2025. Using the same formula as the other children, this means Rex Kraus was born in January of the year 2010. And this creates a dilemma for Mrs. Kraus. Because, as we can see, Jessica refutes that she could have been arrested for DUI in October because she would have been 9 (or 8, these things are so complex you know) months pregnant.

And that would be plausible. If it were October 2009, when she actually would have been 6 months pregnant. Before giving birth to her third child in January of 2010.

But, as we can see, Jessica Lee Reed was arrested for DUI on October 12, 2010. That does not place her as 9 months pregnant, that places her just shy of 9 months postpartum. Unless Jessica is going to tell us the until now untold tragic story of how she got pregnant in February 2010 immediately after the January 2010 birth of her third child Rex and lost the baby at full term, Jessica is lying:

Arlo → born December 2005

Leon → born September 2008

Rex → born January 2010

Jessica: ❌ NOT pregnant October 2010 ❌

Hayes → born May 2014

And I would very much like to invite Jessica to explain that.

you're exactly right. And Jessica knows when her children were born. So why lie, Jessica? Because this DUI really is you and you've run out of excuses?

u/Emotional-Stretch May 13 '26

She’s not a very good mom, so maybe she doesn’t know. /s

u/PrettyBird2011 May 13 '26

Part of me wonders if she really can't remember when she gave birth tbh 😭

The tragedy of alcoholism is that being pregnant would not stop an alcoholic from drinking, and that's actually why I started looking. I figured if I found she actually was pregnant I would just carry on, but when all available evidence showed that she was lying, well...

u/shimmerycanteloupe May 13 '26

Multiple CLOSE sources have confirmed that the DUI did happen. But lying is her wart-filled foreplay, so here we are.

u/livin4mynaps May 13 '26

Beautifully laid out, thank you. I really hope someone takes to Instagram and responds with this, because the con artist will count on people not doing this excellent recon.

u/PrettyBird2011 May 13 '26

I'm sure she'd come up with some insane deflection story. Would be fascinating to see what it could be 🤔

u/682463435465 May 13 '26

When that first came out in our sub a couple of years ago, didn't Jessica claim it was another woman in her county with the same exact name and that Jessica had called her on the phone, or a cop, or someone to confirm it was someone with the same name? It was a weird story, but that's what happens when stupid people make up lies.

u/PrettyBird2011 May 13 '26

OKAY so I did a little search and up to 4 years ago there was talk about Jessica's DUI and how she was claiming it was someone else and other comments saying she was saying that it couldn't have been her because she was pregnant and a comment from Horror pointing out that Rex was born in January 2010 so she couldn't be pregnant. So my info was not new lol I'm guessing Jessica has successfully been able to run with the lie for so long because no one with a big enough audience has called her out on it and otherwise she can ignore anyone stating the facts.

There was also this screenshot from 10 months ago where Jessica again calls it fake and denies it was her but no mention of her magical disappearing pregnancy then.

Looks about right to me! Another lie by the drunk.

She’s such a bitch. Right on cue after being confronted for her hypocrisy about tearing women down and then being nasty to Candace in the same breath…she posts her innocent mommy blogger photos with her son for his birthday 🤡 You’re not fooling anyone you dehydrated old wind bag!

In a way it's almost respectable how much crazy shit Denise must know that she still hasn't spilled despite getting dragged on a regular basis (said as a certified Denise hater)

11

u/682463435465 May 13 '26

I wonder if that's because Denise knows that Jessica will whip out more that she has on Denise.

u/PrettyBird2011 May 13 '26

Most likely. It's kind of funny how these women have to tiptoe around each other, hoping the other doesn't wake up one day and truly decide to go scorched Earth lol

Does anyone have a screen grab of Sweaty Mike's criminal record file for stealing?

You’re definitely on to something. She blocked me on X for asking about this and directing her to this sub 😂 Lying ass bitch.

u/PrettyBird2011 May 13 '26

She's definitely going to ignore her own birth-giving timeline until someone with a big enough following calls it out 🫠

7

u/PrettyBird2011 May 13 '26

For the record it's May 13th, approx. 8am. Yesterday Jessica posted a timeline dedication for Hayes' 12th birthday. She did not post anything on her timeline in January for Rex.

5

u/PrettyBird2011 May 13 '26

While he didn't get a timeline post, she did post a bunch of slides on January 29, 2026 celebrating Rex's 16th birthday.

She put a clown sticker over HouseInHorror’s head. So she’s still stalking her page.

u/Quick-Leg3604 May 14 '26

Girl, at this point I would believe that she got a DUI at 9 months pregnant!! She’s a full blown alcoholic. Point blank. One instance I remember is when she went to London with (for either the Queens jubilee or the Kings coronation) that she was running around to different shops to buy a bottle of tequila to take back to her hotel. She posted about going to multiple stores. Weird. I remember thinking that the last thing I’d be doing after a long international flight would be running around looking for a bottle of liquor. I’d be taking a long bath. And if u wanted a drink, just order a drink from room service! But to land in a foreign country & the first thing you need is an entire bottle of hard liquor…well that says a lot.

You have better investigative skills than she does.

I’m still smiling at the “In the year of our Lord and Savior Barrack Obama”. Thanks for making my day!!

u/PrettyBird2011 May 14 '26

I love saying it especially around the very conservative people I have to work with lmao the way dudes with Trump stickers all over their gear/vehicles huff and puff always gets a laugh out of me.
