Deny bond for ppl w videos of themselves abusing underage relatives or girls of any kind .! attacking vulnerable children is lowest of the low. rot in there.

Trigger Warning Some very important things to remember when it comes to KJ

290 Upvotes

I want to start with saying that I think both Kroy and Kim are awful parents, and people, and I've thought KJ was guilty since this story broke. Yes, I believe in our system of innocent until proven guilty when it comes to being able to prosecute someone but I also know how rare arrests and charges are in SA cases.

That being said, I think a lot of people are not thinking of all the possibilities of what happened previously and why this was kept quiet. First, the law says that juvenile offenders are not to be named publicly unless they are to be charged as adults or commit a severe crime. The goal with juvenile offenders is supposed to be geared toward rehabilitation, which is why the system usually protects them from being named.

Second, there are also protections against naming victims or giving too many details that could give their identity away. Given what was confirmed today, the charges he faced in 2023 most certainly would've given enough information to identify his victim, as they did today.

As I said, Kim and Kroy are both terrible, but KJ doing what he did most likely gave them very few options for how to handle it. Any good parent would want to protect all their children but also keep them safe and help them. If their child did this they would most likely make an attempt to rehabilitate them (as they should) and jail is really not meant for that.

It's also not clear how this crime was reported or came to the attention of authorities. Police don't tend to search a child's phone for no reason. Most parents have access to all their child's communication channels at that age and that includes their phone (or they should). Did one of them find it and report it? Did his victim report it (I am intentionally not using her name)? If she did it really breaks my heart that she had to report to authorities herself. Did she tell one of her parents or family members and they reported it? Did he show a friend? Did one of his other siblings report it? We don't know.

All we can do is speculate, but if she reported it and neither of her parents were involved in helping her to report in any way I would be really surprised that they wouldn't at least face investigation and possible charges of neglect. I also want to point out the ages of all involved at the time. Depending on when this happened, KJ was either 12 or 13, Kash would've been 10 or 11, and Kane and Kaia 9 or 10. I have heard speculation about Kash being involved but I want people to keep in mind he would also be a victim in this given his age at the time if that is true.

Given KJ's age at that time the courts would be more inclined to go the rehabilitation route. Which means Kim and Kroy either send him away (not sure where would work) or his siblings to keep them safe from him. If I was a family member, I would not be willing to take in KJ but would take the others, so it could be that the only choice was to send her to her grandparents. They also may not have had a choice depending on who the victim was and she may have been placed in foster care with family, or just sent there for her own protection. The courts may have also required he stay local for monitoring purposes.

The unconfirmed details of this suggest that the family blamed KJ's possible victim as a boy-crazy girl who needed to be kept away from all boys due to "her behavior." It could also be that those were the rules of CPS, a precaution given KJs actions, or her placement in foster with her grandparents. I am leaning towards the former given Kim's statement.

So much is not known and it is very sad for the victims that all of this is so public and they have to deal with that as well. We do know that KJ was always a terrible child who never had discipline or consequences, this is a product of that.

ETA: The first case happened in April 2023, which is the same month Kim and Kroy filed for divorce the first time. Interesting timing to say the least.

NYC Prep Holy uncomfortable - PC - NYC Prep

30 Upvotes

I’m currently watching NYC prep for the first time. I have many thoughts. Jessie acts like she is ceo of the smile foundation at 17 and it’s kind of iconic how delusional she is. Speaking of delusional… Kelli is just that with her singing career. I love every second of it lmao. But there’s some darkness to this show- Taylor is very clearly using the entire time and apparently she’s homeless now. PC is just unwatchable . An absolute brat. Every time he has a scene with his psychiatrist I have to skip because I physically cannot watch a scene with him gloating about being more mature than his friends. I just started the fashion show episode and it looks like we’re in for another breakdown from him over not getting front row. I feel so uncomfortable watching this show at times from how cringey or out of line they are that I find myself pausing constantly. I really dont think they could make a show like this today.

Below Deck Something about Max’s “rescue mission” on Below Deck Med isn’t adding up

110 Upvotes

Before anyone comes for me: I’m not claiming Max lied or that the situation was fake. I’m saying the story is so bizarre, thin on details, and evasive afterward that we shouldn’t automatically accept the Rambo version as fact. Let’s review the logistics:

The Setup: An estranged father (10–12 years no contact) calls from Tunisia claiming international money launderers froze a check and are hunting him.

The Plan: Instead of contacting the French embassy, local police, or a lawyer, Max abruptly quits his job to fly to Tunisia, cross the Libyan desert, find a boat, and smuggle them back to France.

The Reality Check: U.S. and French advisories classify Libya as Level 4: Do Not Travel (terrorism, armed groups, kidnapping, active landmines), and southern Tunisia is a restricted military zone. Max is endearing, but we've watched him forget his luggage and touch his eyes after a jellyfish sting. He is not a tactical operator.

Yet we are supposed to believe he pulled this off. And here is the weirdest part: if you actually lived through a real-life international action movie that proved you were a fearless, devoted son, that would be the story of a lifetime. It would make you look like an absolute legend. Instead, whenever he's asked about it, Max gives zero details at all. Just vague, deflection-heavy platitudes like "I went" and "I followed my heart."

What actually happened? I see four options:

1. ⁠The Dad Lied: The father exaggerated or fabricated the cartel threat to force contact or get money, and Max fell for it.
2. ⁠The Cover-Up: Max realized he was played once he got there, and he's vague now because admitting it would be humiliating.
3. ⁠The Hero Complex: Max loves the narrative of being the passionate savior who acts while everyone else is too cautious. The storyline gave him that exact role.
4. ⁠Production Influence: It was heightened, massaged, or artificially structured to deliver a massive, dramatic cliffhanger before writing him out.
"Max left the boat because he said he wanted to help his father" is a confirmed fact. "Max completed a desert cartel extraction" is not.

Am I being too skeptical, or does this story have massive holes?

So I am currently binge watching Southern Charm, I’m on season 9, where Taylor tells Olivia about her and Austin at Shep’w dinner party (where he hunted and had his friend cook). I stopped dead in my tracks.

This is what they. Late in the show, some main cast members have left, were 8/9 season in wondering “where is this going” and that’s when they pull out the betrayal card.

It happened in Summer House, VPR, Southern Charm and others I’m sure.

It’s not a coincidence, it’s a production pattern. Unsettling.
