I’m a long time lurker but wanted to start contributing. I am a huge Big Brother fan and I was horrified when I saw Aaryn as a mommy blogger. She was (and is) a rotten racist. I’m not sure why more people aren’t up in arms about this and I’m confused as to how she has fans. I doubt she could point out Barcelona on a map.

Many of them probably don't even know. I found her on Youtube when I was pregnant because I was looking up birth/delivery stories. I had no clue she was on BB (or how she acted on there) until much later. Others probably share her opinions and views. Then you've got the ones who may know and think she has changed.
I don't know her personally, so I can't say for sure but I can say that I've known a few extreme racists and they just don't change.
Unfortunately we don’t know. If I’d done or said the things she did, I definitely would’ve made more of an effort to make sure I proved myself and bettered myself. I would want to leave no doubt that I’d changed.
I do remember her addressing it in a q+a or something like that and talking about how ashamed she was for how she came across and the things she said. She talked about how she’d tried to grow and had learned by seeing how her words affected others.
I don’t see how anyone could defend her behavior on BB. Her remarks were very objectively wrong.
But they were five years ago and people can and sometimes do change. I have memories of things I said/did during my school years that I still feel so ashamed about. I acted out of my own insecurity but I am a massively different person than that now. I was raised by materialist people who stereotyped people (not just races) and I was a snobby, superior feeling bitch.
Thank God for moving away and making new friends who helped me see the ugliness inside of me.
I wish Aaryn would speak out and be more open about denouncing her past errors. I think she is more concerned about leaving it in the past like it never happened though
