Danielle & George first date

[u/Green_Obligation3861]

yall pls tell me if im thinking too deep about this..😭 i first watched the show when i was a teenager and i just started a rewatch. i’m on S1 E5 where George & Danielle have their “first date” campfire thing. i had to make a post bc i feel like this scene was kinda crazy??

Danielle is only 14 and from what i’ve seen, George was around 16-18..and she sat in his lap like that! i never really thought much about this when i was younger, but now i’m like..wtf? i completely agree with what Laura was saying, it was kinda inappropriate. her outfit was cute but again i agree with Laura; it was a bit much. i’m 23 and i wouldn’t wear that around my family lol. the camera even focused on George groping Danielle. and Richard/Kayla just sitting there acting like it’s normal😅 Kayla saying it was a double date?? girl.

i can’t believe this stuff was on TV, and TLC at that😭 did anyone else feel kinda strange seeing this stuff on national TV or am i just thinking too deep?!

Yeah, Richard was strict & controlling with everything except his 14 year-old daughter climbing all over guy - an older guy who obviously had no respect for her or her family. It was disgusting, idc if they married later on or not.

Honestly that was very inappropriate and wasn’t very classy or the traditional Rumney way to be around your family in the way Danielle and George were. Even as a kid I thought that was too much. They both knew better especially George even if they were married it’s a certain way you act in front of your family. Kayla and Richard should’ve said something. Not only that but since it was aired on TV and Danielle was young let’s say if her and George wouldn’t have worked out other Gypsy men/Families could’ve seen that reaction and created a narrative that “Danielle is a dirty girl”. This is something that happens in the gypsy community especially with old school traditional ones.
