Audrey Roloff Outrages Fans Over Baby Formula Diss

Over the first few weeks of her foray into motherhood, Audrey Roloff was very candid about her difficulty breastfeeding.


The Little People, Big World star talked at length about her battle against mastitis and how VERY painful this condition caused it to be when she brought baby Ember up to her chest to suckle.


Or even when she tried to pump.



“I can’t believe I’m saying this, but the pain that I’ve experienced while breast feeding has been comparable to unmedicated labor contractions,” Audrey said last fall, adding:


“Inevitably, all of this has left me feeling like I am failing my baby, frustrated, discouraged, and heart ached.”


We felt terrible for Roloff at the time and we still do. That must have been awful.


On this past Tuesday’s episode of her family’s reality show, however, Audrey elaborated on just why this experience was so awful for her and… well…


… we feel a tiny bit less bad because her view on the topic seems so effed up.


Acknowledging the aforementioned challenge she had with breastfeeding early on, Audrey said the following in a Little People, Big World confessional:


“We just don’t have feeding figured out yet. It just didn’t come easy for me, my body, for her.”



That part of the admission was fine and understandable.


And also very relatable; plenty of new mothers and new human beings need awhile to figure the whole breastfeeding thing out.


During a checkup just a week after giving birth, though, Audrey was told by a doctor that, if her baby wasn’t getting enough sustenance via breast milk, then Audrey and Jeremy would need to supplement with formula.


This is also something very common among new parents.


But Audrey simply was NOT having it.


And her reason for why has angered quite a few people on the World Wide Web.


“I was very adamant about breastfeeding exclusively. Formula is like a sin,” she actually said.


It does sound like Audrey eventually gave in (“I never thought I would do that, but at the same time I need to feed my baby so we have to do it.”), which at last makes us breathe a sigh of relief.


At least she wasn’t extreme enough in this view to actually harm her child.



But… formula is like a sin?!? Excuse her?!?


As you might imagine, many social media users were outraged that she would utter such a thing.


“‘Formula is a sin,’ girl shut the f–k up,” one fan Tweeted succinctly, while another said:


“Did she say, ‘Formula was a sin?’ I want to slap her.”


And one fan pointed out, “Oh Audrey, formula is not a sin. Fed baby is all that matters.”




audrey critique


Seriously, right?


If Audrey feels this way, we guess she’s entitled to that somewhat ridiculous opinion. (Okay, totally ridiculous opinion.)


But to come out and make such a public statement is casting quite the judgmental net over millions of women, many of whom have no choice but to use formula and all of whom just want what is best for their child.


What is sinful about that?!?


Audrey, it should be noted, has not commented on this controversy or issued any sort of apology.



The TLC personality is very open about her faith, as anyone who followers her on Instagram knows well.


She often tries to be encouraging to her fellow mothers, too, recently writing a message online that concluded as follows:


“Moms… You’re not the only one who has been criticized or glared at for doing something wrong. I have too. You’re not the only one.


“You’re not alone. Even though you might feel like it sometimes, we are all figuring out this motherhood thing as we go.


So I’ll be here.


“Sharing what I’ve learned, where I’ve failed and how the Lord is encouraging, empowering, and equipping me as I embrace all that it means to be a mother.”


It’s a nice sentiment.


But perhaps Roloff should have considered how her “sin” talk would make these same mothers feel before she made the remark.

Jim Bob Duggar Outrages Neighbors With Efforts to Take Over Town

If you follow the Duggar family closely, then you’re probably aware that despite his frequent claims that he’s a humble man of God who seeks nothing more than to live a life of service, Jim Bob Duggar has quite a few worldly ambitions.


In fact, the 52-year-old’s incessant efforts toward obtaining greater wealth and power have reportedly alienated many his neighbors, friends, and even members of his famously close-knit family.



Those who know him best have complained about Jim Bob’s “high-class hoarding.”


His second eldest son, John David Duggar, has reportedly taken issue with Jim Bob’s greed and reckless spending.


Fans have complained that the Duggar patriarch’s unchecked ambition seems to fly in the face of the religious views that the reality star and aspiring real estate mogul claims to hold so dear.


And now, some of Jim Bob’s neighbors in the small community of Tontitown, Arkansas are hoping to take action that will bring a halt to one of his most ambitious projects to date.


According to KSFM News in Fayetteville, Arkansas, Jim Bob has applied to rezone 23 acres of land as the first step in transforming the property into an “upscale RV park.”



Neighbors have expressed concerns, with some declaring outright that they oppose the project and are fed up with Jim Bob’s constant side-stepping of local laws and ordinances.


Last week, a planning commission reportedly approved the rezoning, thus changing the land’s designation from Residential-Agriculture to Urban Thoroughfare, which makes it eligible for commercial development.


“I think that’s more important than swallowing it up with development that could be on the other side of the street for instance,” says local resident Renwick Hudson.


“Rezoning [the land]…” he added. “It’s tricky. We have to be really careful.”


Others, such as Fayetteville Planning Director Andrew Garner, believe that the development would be a net positive for the community:



“The addition that [the owners] are proposing, only to rezone the front part and kind of keep the back of it preserved, I think is in line with a lot of the city’s policies for tree preservation and environmental preservation,” Garner said.


Even if efforts to have Jim Bob’s provisional license revoked are not successful, the development still must be approved by planning officials. 


“If they decide to build the RV park, they actually have to turn in construction plans and large-scale development plans,” Garner said.


“We have to look at all the development details, but the actual zoning decision has to be made to allow the RV park.”


And it seems the Duggars will continue to face opposition from the likes of Renwick Hudson:


“At this location, from my perspective, not ideal,” Hudson said. “It butts right up against some of the areas that are already vulnerable to future development.”

David Eason Posts Photo of Infant Daughter Holding Toy Gun, Outrages Fans

David Eason seems determined to make sure he alienates every last one of the fans whom he and his wife rely on to put food on the table.


As you may have heard, Eason was recently fired from Teen Mom 2 following a series of bizarre controversies.



It all started when Eason posted a photo of Jenelle Evans shooting a gun (or pretending to shoot a gun) on his Instagram page, apparently as a way of celebrating Valentine’s Day.


As news of the Parkland, Florida school shooting had broken just a few hours earlier, David’s timing wasn’t the greatest, but he refused to take the post down, even amidst intense backlash from fans.


Worse, Eason went on a homophobic tirade, hurling bigoted slurs at followers who dared to question the wisdom of publicly celebrating high-powered weapons just hours after 17 civilians lost their lives, most of them children.


Even though Eason is no longer employed by MTV and Viacom, his wife still is, and she’s now the family’s sole breadwinner.



So you might think he would generally steer clear of controversy in order to keep the peace between Jenelle and her employers.


But of course, you would be wrong.


In a Snapchat story that appeared online yesterday, David and Jenelle’s 1-year-old daughter, Ensley, can be seen holding a toy gun.


The image was captioned, “Photo shoot with Dad.”


Needless to say, the pic received an overwhelmingly negative response from Eason’s followers.


 “Kid doesn’t even know what a gun is,” wrote one fan.



“Their ignorance is astonishing. Family of hunters, none of us push this on children, we don’t pose them with guns,” remarked another.


Yes, it’s important to remember that even if you feel very strongly about a political issue, it’s probably best not to drag your very young children into the debate.


Kids who can’t even tie their shoes yet probably aren’t well-versed in the nuances of the 2nd Amendment, ya know?


There’s been no word on the matter from either Jenelle or MTV, but we’re guessing neither party is thrilled with Dave’s latest post.


Watch Teen Mom 2 online in order to be reminded of the depths of Eason’s ignorance.

Josh Duggar Hangs With Family, Outrages Fans on Thanksgiving!

As you might be aware, this hasn’t been the greatest year for rapists, child molesters, and other sick, predatory bastards. 


From Hollywood to D.C., the most loathsome behavior imaginable is being called out like never before.


But it seems the coast-to-coast tidal wave of disgust skipped right over the tiny town of Tontitown, Arkansas.



It was just two years ago that the world Josh Duggar molested five young girls, four of whom were his sisters, while he was still living at home with his parents, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar.


Those same parents have admitted to helping Josh hide his crimes from law enforcement officials, thus enabling him to avoid being prosecuted.


We assume to Jim Bob and Michelle recently got a call from Harvey Weinstein, because the fact that they were able to mitigate the ensuing damage to their public image so effectively that they’re now back on TV is impressive in a truly nauseating way.


There was a very brief time in which the Duggars made an effort to keep Josh off their social media pages, but as you can see from the family’s Thanksgiving photo (below) those days are long gone:



Yes, there’s Josh front-and-center, and while a surprising majority of Duggar fans saw no cause for complaint, others pointed out that there’s something very, very wrong with this picture.


“Can’t believe you still let those children near Josh. Ugh. Absolutely disgusting,” commented one fan.


“That’s disgusting and inappropriate,” another remarked.


“Hope Josh kept his hands to himself at Thanksgiving and that no girls fell into a tryptophan nap. He loves those sleeping girls!” a third “joked.”


Instagram comments are all well and good, but hopefully you folks are expressing your misgivings in sternly-worded emails TLC, as well.



Another vocal contingent pointed out that Joy-Anna Duggar and Austin Forsyth are curiously missing from the photo.


Naturally, the conspiracy theorists came out of the woodwork to claim the absence as further proof that Joy-Anna got pregnant before her wedding and is currently being hidden from public view so as to hide the fact that she’s several months further along than the Duggars would have us believe.


Others pointed out that it’s entirely possible the newlyweds simply decided to spend the holiday with Austin’s family.


Whatever the case, it’s yet another Duggar Thanksgiving photo that’s stuffed full of controversy.


Just wait until the Christmas card, which will presumably feature the Honorable Judge Roy Moore in a Santa costume.

Duggar Divorce Scandal: Anna"s Sister Ditches Husband, Outrages Family

At this point, it’s clear that Anna Duggar will never divorce Josh Duggar, the seemingly unrepentant sexual predator who went to great lengths to cheat on his loving years after he was caught molesting his younger sisters.


In fact, there have been reports that Josh and Anna’s relationship is stronger than ever following his six months in “faith-based” sex addiction treatment.


These days, Anna is pregnant with the couple’s fifth child, and sources say she actually prefers life away from the constant glare of the TLC camera crews.



But it seems not everyone in the Keller clan (Anna’s side of the family) has such a sky high tolerance for mistreatment.


Radar Online is reporting today that Anna’s older sister Rebekah McDonald and husband, Joshua McDonald, have called it quits after several years of marriage.


In some respects, the Keller’s are even more conservative than the Duggars, so it’s difficult to imagine that Rebekah’s parents would be okay with her pulling the plug on the marriage.


Unless, of course, Joshua engaged in some sort of abuse or infidelity.



And considering Rebekah not only filed for the divorce, but also requested full custody of the couple’s two kids, that seems like a very real possibility.


The reasons she cited for terminating her marriage – “discord” or “conflict of personalities” – are frustratingly vague for those seeking insight into what’s considered acceptable grounds for divorce in the fundamentalist, patriarchal world inhabited by the Duggars and the Kellers.


Insiders say the divorce was recently settled, but only after Rebekah agreed to less punitive terms.


She and Joshua will now split custody of their children.



So Rebekah is now an unencumbered single woman, but it remains to be seen if she’ll be welcome at future family event.


After Anna’s sister, Susanna Keller, had a child out of wedlock, she was reportedly shunned by her immediate family.


These days, sources say she’s been welcomed back into the fold, but only after proving her piety and getting engaged to a man her parents approve of. 


If Rebekah cares about continuing to be accepted by her parents, she may have a long road ahead of her.


Watch Counting On online for more glimpses into the curious belief system of Anna’s ultra-conservative family.
