I don’t understand it.Alittlechaos1 wrote:I was talking to my boyfriend about this and he questioned as to why she needs to post it on social media. Like why can’t she just go out and do her thing without having to post it! I get that’s what she does but at the same time there’s no need for it like enjoy the moment. I’ve always watched her YouTube but never followed her on ig till poor crews tragedy did her and Jeff even have a date night in the three months crew lived? Cause I don’t recall really seeing any videos with her and Jeff going on date nights tho I could be wrong from not paying attention.Amelia322 wrote:Ugh just sick to my stomach. Yes go out with friends and do what you need to do. But why post boomerangs and filtered videos of yourself for millions to judge!
She prolly asked them to redo that shot so she can’t get her cute boomerang for it.
It’s hard not to judge when she’s out drinking and golfing tbh.

Re: Brittani Boren Leach: Part Three
I think it’s good for her to get out of the house and spend time with friends but why post it publicly? She knows she’s going to get backlash for it so why even post it? Just keep it private. The internet doesn’t need to know every single thing she does.

Re: Brittani Boren Leach: Part Three
I’m someone who defends her, and I try not to judge her grieving process because losing a child has to be the worst experience but I can also call out bizarre behavior when I see it. I don’t see anything wrong with her going out With friends or going shopping, but the posts about it the past couple of days have me at a loss for words. She is either in major denial or just trying to not think about Crew at all to block out the grief. I feel like she may have also have had PPD after Crew. It’s just so bizarre. “I hate being in this terrible club but yay tie dye”... who says that?

Re: Brittani Boren Leach: Part Three
Because they are now realizing that this woman is NOT grieving at all. She went out on a double date with her hair perfectly bleached and extensions in, high heels, face full of makeup and nails and toes done. She has barely spent any time with the other kids since all of this happened, and every one of the people who defended her are realizing all of this.brittknee wrote:I’m just curious if anyone else has noticed all the ones that defended her for weeks are now nowhere to be found on this thread or have been changing their tune all of a sudden.

Re: Brittani Boren Leach: Part Three
You aren’t an idiot at all. I don’t think that she was specifically talking about you. I totally understand why you were defending Brittani as you are also a loss parent, as were most of the people who were defending her. You are a very nice person actuallyskippy1931 wrote:I'm far from an idiot I make mistakes like anyone else and I spoke up that I made the mistake one would hope people could accept and apology move on and not be nasty about it

Re: Brittani Boren Leach: Part Three
You know it’s not like this was a long drawn out death, like he had some terminal illness she had been already grieving for a while. This was a sudden, unexpected death of her BABY. One that was likely her FAULT. Who is posting this kind of celebratory boomerang drinks after that? She clearly never bonded with him, but it’s almost like she doesn’t have respect for him either.
Re: Brittani Boren Leach: Part Three
Ok so I know I posted this before but not long after my daughter was stillborn, it was our anniversary and my husband made me get out of bed and shower and do my hair/make up and we went out. There are some pictures where you’d never know.
But no videos. And I wasn’t drinking. And about 30 minutes into it, my husband kept asking if I wanted to go home because I kept crying. And I had zero fun. I would honestly never go back to that place again because I so strongly associate it with that grieving period.
I defended Brittani so much and in some ways, I see I was wrong to have. She seems incredibly emotionally detached. The fact that she lets those boys go on scooters in the street with no helmets blows my mind. She just had a three month old baby suffer catastrophic brain damage, possibly due to unsafe sleeping. Does she want her three other sons to as well? Looking back to her post on Christmas Day, Carter is the only one with a helmet. Sydney doesn’t have one on her bike.
The only good thing about her drinking is it means she’s not pregnant yet. But I’m positive it’s only a matter of time before she tries again for the girl she wants.

Re: Brittani Boren Leach: Part Three
I get an "idiot" vibe from the husband. I haven't waivered on that. Like, he's with a younger woman (11 yrs) and you can see she rules the roost in this relationship. Where is HE telling her NO to their kids riding scooters w/o helmets? Everyone is blaming Brittani. He's just as responsible too. They're both losers.chs6213 wrote: ↑Sun Feb 02, 2020 5:42 am Ok so I know I posted this before but not long after my daughter was stillborn, it was our anniversary and my husband made me get out of bed and shower and do my hair/make up and we went out.

Re: Brittani Boren Leach: Part Three
I’m annoyed that Brittani gets all the blame for the helmets when in her second to last insta story you can clearly see Jeff right there. He was walking on the sidewalk when Cooper falls in the road (he DID have a helmet on). Two seconds later we see Cash with no helmet. No one even asked if Cooper was okay, or went over to him, and it was in the street. I HATE when people only blame the woman/mom. Am I the only one bothered that the kids are always in the road? Even if it’s a cul de sac it seems like there are a lot of houses, I hope they’re being taught to look for cars. I will say we always went in the road when we were older than BBL’s boys, probably around Sydney’s age, and I hardly wore a helmet but there are not many people on my street and we were always super aware of our surroundings.Deesker wrote: ↑Sun Feb 02, 2020 6:28 amI get an "idiot" vibe from the husband.

Re: Brittani Boren Leach: Part Three
I've not changed my tune. I've buried a child, I understand grief looks different for everyone. The woman that I've worked with for the past 17 years lost her oldest son to suicide about 2 years ago --- I've watched her grieve completely different from myself -- her grief looks more like Brittani's.
But I just don't post because it's just a hate fest, no matter what she does there is someone accusing her of something. It doens't matter if she cries, smiles, stays home or goes out -- it's all met with vitrol and hatred.
Would I do some of the things she's done? No. Would I do things the way my co-worker has? No. But I am at least willing to accept that everyone grieves differently and in this era of self-absorbed social media it's only predictable that some people are going to hit that publish button on their grief.
I thought to redecorating of his bedroom was a huge cry for help, she's talked about pretending he's a home, now she's redecorating his bedroom? I think she's close to a complete breakdown --- but I'm sure in about 30 seconds someone will be on here sayng she's doing it for views.
So no, we're not gone, and we haven't changed our minds, we're just chooseing not to engage with the hate-fest.

Re: Brittani Boren Leach: Part Three
CORRECTION: I had the wrong bedroom. I though that said "Crew's Bedroom" but it's Cash's bedroom.
I still think she's going to breakdown soon, but I'm relieved I was wrong about which bedroom she was redoing.

Re: Brittani Boren Leach: Part Three
I hate this woman with a passion. I’ve made it known on here and I also can’t say I understand 99 percent of what she does. But I DO know that her going out last night is pretty normal. After my son passed my husband and I went through a phase where we had to be out of the house doing activities constantly. We went to the Casino practically every weekend, picked up on skating lessons, went to hockey games the entire winter (my son passed away 4 days before thanksgiving), we even Flew to Florida for a week and spent everyday on the beach, pissing our money away on high priced drinks and food. I don’t have any form of social media so I don’t quite understand her positing all that l...however I do understand the need to get out and do activities. When you’re sitting still your mind goes nuts so being the house with your thoughts during the holidays and winter is excruciating. Granted we had no other kids at the time so we could get up and go and not worry.CrankyPants wrote: ↑Sun Feb 02, 2020 8:56 am

I guess my point is that in some ways I may have changed my tune a bit.
I still hate her and I still think she is profiting off her son but I can’t fault her in going out last night

Re: Brittani Boren Leach: Part Three
For me, I have no issue with her going out or going to target or whatever she’s doing but she is flaunting it. There’s no need to post every aspect of her life. No one cares that they had a double date. I understand needing to stay busy. I jumped right back into work and school when my mom died when I was 19. I definitely didn’t know how to grieve and I did some questionable things but I never once posted pics of her on her death bed and I didn’t exploit it for my own selfish needs. That’s why I can’t defend Brittani ever. Her moral compass is either way off or it doesn’t exist. That’s my issue with her.

Re: Brittani Boren Leach: Part Three
I defended her and I had to take a huge step back from this thread. Some of the things I have read are absolutely sickening. Personally I will still defend her because I have never lost a child and I have no idea how I would react. I would want to lay around in bed all day sobbing but as a mother with 4 children myself, I wouldn’t be able to do that. Life has to go on. I’d have to put on a brave face at some point and start doing normal things again.
She may still be in denial that he’s gone, she may be clinging to some sense of normalcy by getting out of the house and going to Target. Who cares? I’m personally glad to see that so far she is not sinking into a dark depression. She’s getting out and doing things with her kids and with her spouse which I personally think are healthy outlets for grief. The truth is we only see what she wants us to see, and if she posted pictures or stories of herself crying in bed Lord knows everyone here would be up in arms about that too. And really, social media is her job, it’s the way she supports her surviving family members. While most people get back to work without much fanfare, she makes money by putting herself out there, so you’re all seeing it to criticize. If she doesn’t post she doesn’t make money. Now whether or not social media as a job is a good thing or not is another story but I’m not here to debate that aspect of things.
As for the GFM money, well Colleen Ballinger just posted a link of a GFM for the family of a 14-year-old girl who just died of cancer. They have exceeded their $150k goal by 3k so far. $153k, which is $53k more than “greedy” Brittani’s. Hopefully you are all equally as outraged over this.
Re: Brittani Boren Leach: Part Three
Is that family on Instagram showing them blowing money on things like redecorating their child’s room for their birthday or redoing the floors in their home while posting shopping trips to Target after receiving $153,000? WHEN that family starts doing that come back here and ask me again then I can have an answer for you.NotAnotherUserName wrote: ↑Sun Feb 02, 2020 9:28 amI defended her and I had to take a huge step back from this thread.

Re: Brittani Boren Leach: Part Three
Remember when her son was on his death bed and she was busy shouting out Joanna Gaines on her IG.... she never cared about her son. All she cares about is getting attention and money. I doubt she’s really that bonded with any of her kids. She just sees dollar signs. I don’t know how anybody supports her.

I’ve been one of the toughest critics on here too. I’m the conspiracy nut on here. I haven’t changed my tune with that either - I still think there’s something very fishy about Crew’s death and until she comes out and talks about it I don’t think my opinion will change.

There’s a huge difference between losing your child and losing your child as a social media influencer who had people raise well over $130,000 for FUNERAL AND HOSPITAL expenses but then go on social media showing trips to Target and floors being redone and redoing your child’s bedroom and showing off all your gifts from larger named people.
I’m not hating on brittani for the fact that she lost her child let’s be clear on that. I’m judging how she’s choosing to share with the world the amount of money she is going through after just having had $130,000 PLUS raised for her sons funeral and hospital stay expenses. We’ve heard no word on this alleged donation they plan to make in her sons name with the leftover but instead we are seeing her blow through money like never before and that’s saying something considering it was a lot before all of this too.

She made it clear many months ago - most of her household income comes in during the holiday season.
There is definitely something fishy about these 2 which it comes to the donations
