SEASON PREMIERE 11/27/16 Discussion Thread

Christine calls her daughter a ditz on national TV...ouch.

Wow if I were Mykelti I would be completely devastated by everything that was said and every reaction. I understand this wedding might be hard for them to handle but wow, some of those things said were a bit harsh. Seems like everything's all about Maddie and I understand that they want to make Maddie feel special but at the same time they don't need to make Mykelti feel horrible and not special for her wedding.

First off I would just like to say I think that Mariah is a self entitled brat with a complete lack of sympathy for what her mother has been going through. This is not saying that engaging in an emotional affair is ok during a marriage, but this little girl absolutely does not understand that one simply does not do these things without a reason. Meri most likely chose to act on her emotions because she was incredibly alone and vulnerable in her marriage to a man who has done little to fight for her or put in the work it takes to make a marriage successful. Instead she chooses to be a right old child which shows her complete lack of empathy or maturity. The discussion that they had on camera was some of the most honest television I've seen in years. It was almost uncomfortable to watch because this was such a real moment between a husband and wife that yes I do agree it probably should not have been filmed because it was very very private (although completely necessary.)
