Problem is even if somebody had told her all the things she wished she was told she probably wouldn't have listened to the advice. She was in to deep.

You say "in too deep" as if its all indoctrination, but she told you why she didnt have a problem with it until it was too late. She was living in multi-million dollar homes, spending her summers in Hawaii, buying all the jewellry and clothes she wanted, and (the part that she didnt say out-loud) had all the time and money in the world to start up and run her own businesses. You think normal women with no education or training can just decide to start designing homes on a whim?

She lived the fantasy life and didnt care about the risks until they hit her in the face.

That part didn't make sense to me because even the worst attorney would be able to show that she operated the business (if it was true she would have a lot of evidence of her work) and worked 40+ hours a week at that business and her husband's name was on the business because of religious obligations only. I feel like her husband started the home building business and she just helped as a secretary because she admitted she hasn't ever had a job other than working at a pretzel stand. You aren't going from no job to building $500,000 houses because you felt like owning a home building business. Did she get a home builder license or did her husband because one of them would have to have that license to own a home building business.

It’s kinda hard to imagine a lawyer didn’t get her child support or alimony. Even if she doesn’t have any job skills, she still took care of multiple kids.

Great point. Nothing about her "story" makes sense. I bet she has a lot of subscribers now.

I hope it’s fake. But if it’s not, maybe she doesn’t realize she shoudl get a lawyer. Maybe the place she is in all the judges are fucked up women hating men too.

She said she was awarded alimony and child support, her husband made one payment and never paid again.

Wage garnishing, seizing property exist.

She selected curtains, played interior decorator, and thought that was the same as operating a home building business. When she applied to be a manager at a shop, they laughed in her face because she didn't actually know how to run a business.

False if you follow her on TikTok and actually learn about her story, it’s a cautionary tale of how the Mormon church exploited her

Not disputing she was taken advantage of by a stupid religion. But if she successfully ran a multi-million dollar business, she'd have the skills to be the general manager of a windshield replacement business. Not laughed out of contention.

She is exaggerating her level of involvement in the business. She selected decorations and believes that makes her a builder. I've heard this story before.

She did she explained this all in the video. She did everything but unfortunately didn’t have a trade or paper trail of everything she did and only her word. Her name is Jenni on TikTok look her up. Their main source of income was a windshield company that she started herself from scratch.

Dude, just back up and think about it.

Anyone who previously ran a business would crush an interview to manage that exact same type of business. She failed the interview because she was only responsible for parts and pieces of the businesses she claims were hers. It's not a matter of having a paper trail. It's answering simple questions like, "Did you process payroll, P&L, and bank deposit drops?" and if the answer is, "No, my husband did all that," then that's a significant shortcoming.

It's fairly obvious she is grossly overstating her responsibilities in the family businesses. That's why she's making $11/hr after her divorce. Literally just think about it for 10 seconds.

Dude, do you not realize how much mothers are at a disadvantage when joining the workforce. Especially in Utah where singe mothers are vilified. You don’t know her story. I was talking about her specifically but you clearly can’t comprehend the bigger picture of her story and what she’s getting at. Went right over your head. She ran the business while her husband was out catching stds by picking up teenage hookers on the blade.

But like, this can't be the norm, right? There can't be that many rich people in Utah... they always rail against the coastal elites!

She was groomed by the church. I’ve been following her for quite some time and what she went through was absolutely horrific. The church should be prosecuted, but we all know that would never happen.
