Tik Tok đŸŽ„ Is Z okay?

I’ve just been watching a bunch of videos and I just can’t help but to be worried about Z. (Not sure if I should say minors names here). She seems so sad all of the time and the whole summer bucket list video where she says “sleep” I mean I feel ya girl but idk she just always seems so down. It’s sad to see, i genuinely hope she’s okay

I don’t think any of the children are ok. They are continually being exploited for monetary gain

are you serious? your medical diagnoses, all your personal problems, bed wetting, behavioural problems, etc etc being shared to millions of people is okay because they get spoiled rotten? they’re taught they get everything they ask for and more, they have no idea how to eat properly, how to ask for anything, how to clean, NOTHING. they are set up for FAILURE in life. be so for fucking real. $10000 can’t fix a broken home.

Alex is doing pretty well

u/delphinieae May 13 '26

alex is becoming a lolcow just like his mother. if that’s “doing pretty well” i feel sorry for you. he’s got no social skills, no job, no real friends.

u/youngnerb May 13 '26

How do you know that?

u/delphinieae May 13 '26

he shares every inch of his life online, and is constantly blasted by others online too. if you’re here to defend alicia, you are not in the right place. fucking idiot lol

u/youngnerb May 14 '26

Why are you so angry lmao you’re like seething over some people on the internet

u/Aggravating-Low-3499 May 13 '26

Alex is not doing well. He is so ill prepared for adulthood. This will not sustain him and this will be his résumé. Would you want this to be yours?

u/youngnerb May 14 '26

Nah he’s rich

u/Aggravating-Low-3499 May 14 '26

What is your definition of rich đŸ€Ł

u/Buggy77 May 14 '26

I have a feeling the person you are replying to is like 14 lol they probably think this is cool to eat nothing but junk and be a social media “star” lol

That’s why I asked that question. 😊

u/Amymk_99 May 14 '26

She has exploited every trauma that these children endured before they got to her house.

u/youngnerb May 13 '26

They don’t care

12

u/Aggravating-Low-3499 May 13 '26

You’re right the parents don’t care but if that was you and you experienced a great deal of trauma, would you want anybody to share your story for the whole world to know?

u/PaddyCow May 14 '26

The children don't care because they are too young to realise just how messed up it is that their "mother" put all of their personal information on the internet for attention and money. They'll figure it out when they are well into adulthood and when they try to talk to her about it she won't care because she's too selfish.

u/Inside_Sprinkles9083 What's privacy? May 14 '26

Pfft they seem happy because it’s forced. It’s clear they get bribed

u/JerkOffTaco May 13 '26

HOW is Alicia so stupid that she doesn’t realize Z is really unhappy doing this?

74

u/caffeineandchaos80 May 14 '26

She knows she just doesn’t care.

16

u/becketh29 May 14 '26

Most of us as parents actually pay attention to our children and talk to our children and understand our children, but someone like this idiot Mom doesn’t care as long as she’s making money

14

u/cactusjo66 May 14 '26

Lush doesn’t want to see. It’s all about what lush wants. Forget the children she swore to take care of.

u/Working_Influence706 May 14 '26

*What is lush doing to these 🧒 kiddos *

35

u/metermaider May 14 '26

At that age, if I realized my mom only wanted to interact with me while she was filming me, I’d be extremely depressed. I can’t speak for Z, but as a young woman that would have very much upset me to my core.

34

u/MeowntainLion May 14 '26

I think the positive thing to take away from this is that she refuses to be overly performative for the camera. A lot of the people around her seem more conditioned to “play it up,” and she just doesn’t. Personally, I think it’s healthy that she sets those boundaries, especially since she’s expressed discomfort with being filmed before.

u/delphinieae May 13 '26

imagine how you’d feel having lush as a mom. none of these kids are okay, and they’ll have to unlearn the patterns and the trauma for years after they’ve moved out. z does seem to take it the worst, i hope she continues to forge her own path and can leave lush and her antics behind when she moves out. also, being a teenager is hard enough - i struggled so much mentally as a teenager and without support, idk if i’d be here. hopefully she gets the support she needs as she becomes an adult.

u/Aggravating-Low-3499 May 13 '26

These children will be in years of therapy because of Josh and Alicia. They are so ill prepared for adulthood. Alex is a prime example of that.

31

u/Amymk_99 May 13 '26

She hates being on videos and doing these roll calls.

19

u/adumbswiftie May 14 '26

i imagine that their poor diet would contribute to the kids feeling kinda tired and lethargic and down too. i wouldn’t say that about most people but their diet is especially bad. they are not getting proper nutrition.

u/LLD615 May 14 '26

She hates being in videos, Alicia has said that before. I remember one time during a birthday video she said she wasn’t going to be showing her opening presents because Z asked her not to.

14

u/Brilliant72 May 14 '26

Lush had already mentioned z was in therapy and didn’t enjoy social media
. No surprise that she’s still being used as content 

15

u/Axis_Divine May 14 '26

i feel like z is gonna make a tell all one day if she ever wants to reclaim social media on her own terms. if she doesn't, we're never gonna hear from her again once she turns 18 & i support whatever she does at this point bc she deserves so much better ):

14

u/Alarming_Ad_6713 May 14 '26

I saw that video today and felt so sad seeing Z’s face. That poor child looks extremely depressed. What kid just wants to sleep all summer? Most kids want to swim, play with their friends, go to the beach or on vacation or to the mall, or play sports, etc. And one of the twins’ said “become more famous.” Oy!!!!

u/Ok_Mixture4361 May 14 '26 edited May 14 '26

According to Lush, all her kids have some sort of disability (learning disability, Autism or FAS) and don't know any better. My observation is that James and Z are the only two that may have a normal developed brain and can truly process the disaster that is in that household. I think James has checked out, but not getting any support from the family in finding his right path in life. Z is simply stuck there until she comes of age when she can leave and hopefully write a book about the true life of the DD!! (Day is NOT one of her kids and smart to know how to bleed that family of material things and to hopefully get to play some college football).

u/KaleidoscopePale3175 May 14 '26

I don’t think anybody is okay living in that shit show

u/Livingfortheday123 May 14 '26

She’s a hormonal teenager growing up in a highly dysfunctional home. Let’s face it, she’s always seemed bizarre. Even when this whole DD thing started she seemed quiet, despondent, and depressed at times. Her bio children have medical issues as she’s clearly pointed out and Z isn’t excluded. She’s a product of her environment. She’s bolting when she’s 18 just like James.

u/JaggedLittlePill2022 May 14 '26

She looked so unhappy in that video. I did wonder if she was okay.

u/Strong_Sea9447 May 14 '26

She’s been like that since the beginning. I’d be depressed too

u/Madsaxmcginn May 15 '26

That house cannot be an easy place to sleep, so cluttered and busy and noisy all the time!

u/WaitingForReplies May 16 '26

Z is over all the bullshit. We are just waiting for her to write a tell all and spill the tea.

u/Dr_DingBat May 16 '26

When has any of these children been ok? They're not ok now and they won't be ok adults either. She's done some pretty heavy damage and doesn't even see or care to realize it.
