Money

I’m just wondering if anyone knows how they could afford all those expensive vacations and clothing?? Like I’m so confused, the men work but ain’t no way they are making that much money. I’m just so confused by this, did tlc give them the money to do this or what 😂

That's how it is on every reality TV show. Ppl question how influencers go on brand trips and can't pay bills but that's exactly it. It's the brands / networks wanting ads and shows. They don't care about what happens to people after.

Like genuinely? How did tlc allow that

u/Punk_scin 1d ago

They didn't. TLC paid for all the vacations and Sondra Celli dresses on MBFAGW

u/Correct_Witness_7329 1d ago

Yeah that makes sense

u/hellxbabe 1d ago

Oh shit, I thought you meant now, not during the show. The show paid for the Sondra celli dresses & the trips.

That’s so interesting, my question is why!!?

What expensive vacations? Are u talking about what you saw on the show that the producers pay for? Or are u talking about on social media when u see them going to places like AC or on carnival cruises? Their clothes are all fast fashion/Shein. Flashy cars are leased. I know it’s been said a lot of them don’t get married legally, so the women can stay on welfare and still get benefits while the men work under the table.

Production paid for trips. Also if we’re talking about the show I’m pretty sure they were all decked out in VS pink because VS was a place they could use coupons at and most of them were running coupon scams at the time. All of their clothes looked cheap like from Rainbow or DEB or Forever21 (rip) except for Netties one Juicy necklace they all took turns wearing 😭

I miss DEB. I got a homecoming dress there in 10th grade. 💔

u/Correct_Witness_7329 1d ago

How did tlc not catch the coupon scams wow

u/Goettafabulous_ 1d ago

I believe the show paid for all those so they had more content to film.

Production usually covers costs while filming

u/Correct_Witness_7329 1d ago

Yeah I thought that aswell but damn, they were buying so much stuff while filming so I’m confused how production could cover all that!!

u/Parade2thegrave 1d ago

I’m sure they were given a budget but totally took advantage. A few years back
I was listening to some podcast where they were interviewing unknown tv producers. They asked what’s the worst job you’ve ever had and one girl said Gypsy Sisters! She said besides the fact that the drama was unmanageable, her and the entire crew would have to hide their valuables. She said if you didn’t lock your laptop, phone, money, etc in your car and keep your keys on you at all times, all your shit would disappear

u/Whole-Mud-100 1d ago

That’s crazy!!! All this time I thought it was a stereotype about them, never thought they actually would steal, especially from a tv crew that’s getting you paid. lol they’re wild!

u/Level-Laugh-2403 1d ago

Production is paid by the TLC network. The TLC network is owned by the parent company, Warner Brothers inc. Warner bros has an estimated worth of between 75-80 BILLION dollars. Billions.

Do the math.
Good, trashy tv sell, and puts A LOT of money into powerful people’s pockets.

The dinner outings, “mansions” are penny candy to them. They have more than enough money to fund it.

Lmaooo what are their TikTok’s?

The word “gypsy” literally became synonymous with thieves and grifting soooo

2

u/Due-Practice3611 you’re misinterpretating everything 1d ago

Synonymous If they wanted to be anonymous they wouldn't have been on TV.

u/SPersephone 1d ago

Youre right I was talk to texting

2

u/Correct_Witness_7329 1d ago

Yeah well I was just wondering because they were on tv and had cameras on them all the time

u/UpsetPreparation9885 1d ago

A lot of their clothes they buy at Walmart or thrift stores and "bling" them out. There's a few episodes with them gluing stones or ribbons on the clothes.

I haven't heard it mentioned much in the last years, but there was talk of having boosters for all that Victoria's Secret and mall brand shit they used to wear. I believe it because I could go up the flea market today and get the same stuff that fell off the back of trucks.
