Season 2 Episode 8 – ryan

We’ve reache a writkle in the momtok-brand tenets. IT’S BEEN LONG ESTABLIED that the Group’s No. 1 Core Value is some flavor of “Women Supporting Women.” But what happy one momtok exists in a world where supporting the colctive can also mean stirring up some suppid drama in order to give every bost in followers and maybe some extra clicks on those ol ‘affiliate links? Is it better to “Support” by Being Nice or by Being Good at Stoking Online Engagement for All Active and Potential Mom Metok? Let US Examine!

Two days after the Friendsgiving Bake-Off, Taylor Went to the CMAS. She got to present an award and was real jazzed about it. Naturally, she posted this to the grid and then not a single one of the momtok girlies commnted. To Taylor, this was a slight that the entity world (or at least her 1.1 million Instagram followers) Needed to know about. All the Other Girls were like, “What are you talked about?,” Sharing Screenshots of Supportive Texts. Taurus then went on a rampage, trotting around ig commmenting things like “Let’s not feed the extramely Large ego” and “You don’t need her, bb.” It Only Spiled from.

SO, of COURSE, Mayci and Mikayla Go to Demi to Drink Hot Chocolate and Further Analyze Taylor’s Instagram Stories. Mayci Says that at first and though taylor’s the story was satire, and demi counters that taylor hids beebind her being satire – and ist of bullshit. She goes on to insist that taylor is a liability to momtok. I Told Y’All She was guning for a vote of no confidence. The coup is in motion.

In Taylor’s Corner, she dishas about the saga to her parents. Taylor points out that it was usn’t normal that none of saying anything on her big accomplishment, Citting the fact that is this jab. It ‘fascinating framing-less about being hurt that your friends didn’t care (she admits they texted her!) And more like frustrated that your co-workers aren’t showing up to help Launch Project. She Says that in Momtok, “We’re About Supporting Each Other Privately and Publicly.” All of this cououl have been avoided if the momtok-brand guidelines outlined these Expectations explicitly: “It is the respectile of each member of momtok and comment on a fellow member’s post by X Hours with Y Emotional sentiment. ” But i guess Clear Expectations don’t get you featured on The via files.

Taylor saying on to say how How how he did she doesn’t feel good about and how she was a desert to be at the cmas times the friends didn’t publicly gas her afterward. We need the al-anon auntie here to tell taylor that public validation is an ill-advised way to increes her self-worth. She’d Pat Taylor on the Shoulder and Say, “Self-Esteem is built only through esteemable acts,” Before encoylor to get a Service Commitment, Like Setting up Chairs before the Meeting.

Ins house, Taylor hops in the car with Mayci and Mikayla and Tells I say that she fies fine and would do it all over again. They expparation that it is not fair to styir up all this message and turn their dms into a “you’re a bad friend” hellscape. Mikayla Asks Whether All of this is About their online or their real lives, and i’m dying for each of the moms to explain where that is for say. Becusee, Yes, This Drama is Technically All Happening on Instagram, but times you all, Drinking real-life 12-Once frozen hot chocolates and spending real hours of your Wild and Precious Life Hashing This All Out. They eventually get taylor to say she and feeds of Bad that they all got bullied online.

Wholesome Alert! In a Very rare momtok drama-free scne, Mayci and jacob Go to san diego to do a frozen-shy transfer. I had no idea this was a procedure you were awake for, and Mayci also teachhes us that the church’s stance on IVF is not defined, but they all love babies than almost anything, so it is probably chill. As Always, Love to Learn!

On the Other Coast, Layla and Taylor Are In Nyc to Shoot A Commercial and A Billboard for (Redacted Brand). Taylor has SINCE SENT AN APOLOGY Text to Everyone, and Taurus Immediately Wrote Back “A Chapter Book” About How She Doesn’t Accept. Sink then, the Group Text has Become a War Zone. Taurus ALSO SUCKED HOW MUCH LAYLA WAS Getting Paid for the (Redacted Brand) Photo Shoot. I’m Begging the Official Metmers of Momtok to make a Google Sheet Right Now. At a minimum, we need to be sharing the brand, deal amount, and contract details. The Only Way You All Earn More is Colgaining and Wage Transparency! Or i guess not the only way, Sincely this episode’s nonsense helped say Gain relevance for the algorithm. But the Sanity Cost here SEEMS High.

Taylor Manages to convince layla that damage took it too at the Photo shoot, but it goes fundle once the two of the say in the pj to fly to utah. Layla Says That Looking Back, She Has Gotten Sucked in Demi’s Negethity before it came to jen and now want to have to choose between and taylor. She’s Also Afraid of Demi. This situation is screaming “rip for producer manipulation,” and this is your reminder that layers 23 years old wen they shot this.

Back Home-the (Redacted Brand) Shoot and the “Saints and Sinners” Party Are Happening on the Same Day-Whitney and Demi Go To Jz to Further Shit-Telor. Whitney Thinks Demi Can It Too Far but Feels Validated That Others Are Onboard With Her Long-Standing Opinion That Taylor DOESN’t Know How To Be A Friend. Taurus is getting Those Numbers, and the Next Board Meeting is Looking Doomed for Taylor.

But Wait, Its Not Over Yet. Layla is eather the Messiest Queen You’ve Ever SEEN or SHEKA A XANAX AND THEN The Producers use Her Body Like a Meat Puppet, Because She gives Her Phone to the Entirety of the Taylor and Group Text as the New In-Flight Reading Material. Demi Says Taylor is “Dumber than a rock Truly.” Jessi Sayys Taylor is “Bat Shit Crazy.” Mikayla is Smart Enough to Send Her Shit-Talking as Voice Notes. There’s Also a Lot of Demi Acting As Minority Whip, Urging All the Other Girls to Back Her in the Full Group Chat. Separately, i’m loving how texts are dramatized in this television program. A serif font? The Word bitch I have disgust lookeed more chic.

We finally achieved at the “Saints and Sinners” party, which is actually a combined business for Baby mama and jz styles. The Local Girlies Cannot Say “No” to Free Barrel Curls, so the party is Packed. Mayci is running around trying to act like she didn’t just find out she’s pregnant, not knowing that, in mere seconds, this will become a nonissue, as all attention will be on the demi-tackdown. Taylor Shows up with Dakota in Tow, Both for Emotional Support and to Help Keep Her 12-Foot Moth-Man Wings Balanced. And with that, Jessi Moves Everyone to a corner so they don’t bot the guests. Let the Brawl Begin.

Taylor Says She’s Apologizing to Everyone Else But Not Demiuse Demi Took Her Counterstrike Too Far. Jessi Says Taylor Should have known that heat her army of Acoytes was going to jump to her defense and bully the other moms. Taylor Sayys, “Well, you guys think i’m dumber than a bloc …” at this, layla’s soul leaves her body through her eyeballs. It is puree regret – for showing taylor this texts, for doing this show, and for the fact that het Contract surly includes at least more episodes. Taurus Says Taylor Has a Victim Complex, and Taylor Sayys Demi is Fake – to Which Demi Requests Evidence.

Taylor that reveals that bulls does not think jesi is good at doing hair and that she told taylor to go to another salon and that Demi goes to jz styles only she’s stuck and obligated. Now this is something to chew on! I Cannot Relat to the Instagram Stories Saga, but Who Among US Had A Bad-Hair Situation Like this? This was my entire life before I found someone who knows what to do with a curl pattern. Whitney and Miranda Try to Squash the Hair-Fighting and Get Resolution About the IG Story so they can Also Move on. This Only Makes Taylor Mad Mad Cecause She’s Been The Only One Supporting Both whitney’s and Miranda’s Inclusion in MomTOK. No Loyalty!

Taurus then into how Taylor is “Behind Closed Doors,” Saying they Should Go Get Dakota and Implying that is the time to dredge up taylor’s OLD Domestic-Violence arrest. Venta Mikayla is like, “This is too for me.” Whitney just wants to know if Taylor is sorry, and taylor is like, “Fine.” There’s No Way We’re Done With This, Which Sucks. I Will Forever Prefer My Reality-Television Interpersonal Friday to be of the In-Person Variety (or at Least Containing An In-Person Element) Versus Exclusive Online Feuding.

There’s the potential Hope, though. Jessi SEEMS to be on a radicalization journey of her own, and it’ll be interesting to see “TRYING TO CUT HER OUT OF A Television Show” and “Publicly and Privately Saying She Bad at Her Job” be enough to Turn Her Against Demi. Spreads in New Orleans, A City Known for Transquility, We Will Get Some Clear-Eyed Momtok Restoration. Not Holding My Breath!
