i have read too many stories about this since monday :eek: so i can't remember who it was that said it - but they were saying that kevin jr had no need to steal/misuse her credit card since he had been allowed to since he was in 6th grade. she never gave him a limit and he was able to buy what he wanted was his point when people started saying things about his spending.

Wendy loved that baby. Do you remember the super expensive birthday party, she gave him for his 16th?
As far as Uber eats, it is not unheard of among well off kids.
She also got him an apartment, why not dorming at least his freshman year?
The Stallone daughters were there at the same time. Miami is a party school for the well off and celebrity kids nowadays.
Cant really be mad at Kevin, it is the way he was raised.
At least, he went to school. So kudos to him to get a degree among this chaos.

When Wendy was more with it mentally, I bet she gave Kevin Jr. verbal instructions on what the card was to be used for.

In 2021 the show ended and so did her $10 million a year income. The kind of rehab and medical facilities she has been are insanely expensive, way beyond insurance. After this documentary there is no more money coming in. She has to live on whatever is left for the rest of her life. She’ll no longer be able to subsidize lil Kevin’s extreme extravagances. Might be time for the baby bird to get a job and do something with his life because I don’t think there will be enough left for him to live like he is used to forever.

The production company paid for rehab. They were insured for her.

Even for the almost full year she took off? I didn’t think that was covered but maybe. Either way there are wildly varying estimates of how much her net worth is today. Hard to know what to believe.

She had been in the business for too long not to have a good contract.
the show lasted 12 years and she was syndicated. JMO.
As far as her wealth, besides her cars and her stupid husband, she was thrifty. Her clothes were covered by the show. She worked non stop and took very few vacations. Her apartment while expensive looked like it was furnished by Homegoods and Target.

We didn’t always get to see it but she apparently spent a lot of money on jewelry, designer goods, luxury cars, private jet trips, etc. Plus the drugs and alcohol, which obviously didn’t break the bank but it was a constant expense. Wendy was incredibly frugal about some things but was really frivolous about others.

I just recalled that she was also sued for sexual harassment. It might have been a substantial settlement as well.

You would think with that lawsuit following the couple around town, so to speak, that other networks wouldn't want to touch them due to, if for no other reason(s), the liability! Corporate greed strikes again, and ultimately the network suffered tenfold!

Meanwhile... for what in the world did WW ever need HIM???

I watched part of the most recent episode of the documentary last night. I think I probably have as much morbid curiosity as the next person but this was too much for me. why would her family allow or encourage this? she was taking her wigs off and showing her decayed foot to some rap artist.
what is wrong with her foot?
I turned it off. It's sad and not interesting.

It is interesting as an example of poor judgement all around, imo.
If it stops people from getting into bad habits and goes into therapy, that would be a success. Besides that, it is so sad.
As far as her feet, she had lymphedema for a few years.
