Danielle and her twin (Gabrielle?) were such horrendous people, even for a show like Bad Girl's Club...truly mean spirited, conniving, cowardly human beings.



I wish her nothing but the worst.

Her sister Gabi has tried to somewhat grow and even calls her sister out on being a moron on social media but they were true garbage on their season and Dani is even more miserable than ever.

Damn, she has? I can't lie I would LOVE to know what all of the girls are up to now...I went through a period of binge watching just about every season and there are some girls (ESPECIALLY from s9, hands down most entertaining reality TV I've ever watched) whose lives I would love an update on 😂

https://www.oxygen.com/very-real/bad-girls-club-alum-gabi-victor-to-appear-on-marriage-bootcamp Wait. Didn't Gabi go on Marriage Boot Camp? Or am I confusing BGC members? HA! She did. I'm not going absentminded. I remember because they brought Danni, who hated Victor and caused a lot of grief for Gabi. Danni left at some point. I remember that.

i mean mentally well people create unhealthy environments for children literally all the time. not every awful parent/parenting situation is the result of mental illness. Some people just suck.

lots of people have mental illnesses and yet most people aren't formally diagnosed with anything so there are tons of parents with mental illnesses who have raised children. but also i would mention that mental health issues coming from parents severely affects children growing up in poverty the most but i don't see any real class consciousness in most conversations regarding mental health and raising children.

what a horrible thing to say.



whatever I think about them sometimes on Teen Mom aside, I do think it's important how open both have been about their mental health struggles on the show. even in 2018 you don't really see it that much in reality tv

BTW can Danielle even really be called a 'star' when she has no star quality?? I would rather use the word...'alumna'



But it's your post OP, and as far as I'm concerned I'm happy to get the chance to talk about BGC but the comment Dani made is interesting as well...my mother is a psychiatrist and wow, she's one of the most highly strung people I know who went through several periods of depression and it DEFINITELY impacted my life. Also I feel a lot of the time she talks to me like I'm a patient rather than a daughter.



However, those experiences made me who I am and I love who I am, so while I kind of resent her for acting like a psychotherapist rather than a mother to me a lot of the time, and giving me a fuckton of issues to do with my sexuality, self-image etc, I can't really blame her for it. She still loves me and supports me and that's what a mother is supposed to do, right?

It’ll be interesting to see the differences between Carly and Nova in the future.



I don’t agree with the no name bad girls club person, people with mental illnesses raise happy healthy children all the time. My issue (mainly with Cait) is that she can’t seem to function as an adult. She has had so many traumas and it hurts me (as someone with depression/anxiety/past substance abuse issues and with a degree and career in Social Work ) to see her struggling at home. To see someone unbathed, lying in bed or on the couch all hours of the day, a house that’s a mess, frequently needs to go to in patient therapy out of state, making impulse purchases, buying animals she doesn’t take care of and loses interest in. She needs major coping skills and she as a grown woman doesn’t have any besides smoking weed and going to in patient.



It doesn’t seem like she retains any skills she’s given, she doesn’t stick to a consistent routine, nor does she have a fixed sleep schedule or a job beyond their clothing company. These are all things that can help people cope, and help maintain normalcy and routine. What will she do when the Teen Mom crew, money etc. is gone?



Just my humble opinion.

IMO Catelynn's problem is that her "rehabs" are basically little vacations where she goes to a questionable facility to get away from her life for awhile and then goes back to real life where nothing has changed. I really feel like whatever she does there has nothing to do with being taught actual coping skills for real life, they're just money suck rehabs. Both of them need to get the hell away from their families, his is a disaster (I'm pretty sure his sister is using) and her mother is a horrible person and I can't believe they let her watch Nova when they gave Carly away partly to keep her away from their own parents.

i mean, yes. growing up around parents with untreated mental illness is fucking brutal and i say this from experience.



but if you're being treated and seeking the proper support, you're fine and so will your kids be.

yeah i think people would be shocked to realize that our incidence of mental illness has probably not actually increased in the past 50 years the way people think it has due to social media. it's only better diagnosed, more reported, less stigma, more believed. there are plenty of adults and seniors today who unknowingly dealt with the effects of mental illness their entire childhoods.

i'm not saying anything new but seriously fuck this show for glorifying these teens' lives with not just one, but THREE series. a lot of them would have had problems without being the subject of a TV show, but there's a definite influence on the first group that it feels like they're never gonna get away from.



but this guy... i get where he's coming from as someone with BPD and the tweet DID imply that there was a discussion to be had about both parents suffering from mental illness not having children and her response doesn't change what she said originally and now she's accusing Tyler of twisting her words when in fact he didn't. he responded to exactly what she said. that people with mental illness should be denied the right to have a child (a slippery fucking slope if i've ever heard of one or do we not remember the eugenics programs of the 50's and 60's that were carried out on disabled and minorities citizens) or at least shamed for choosing to do so. that said, tyler himself isn't really worth caping for lmao.

I don't think the show glorified their lives at all. Their lives were all trash and they all looked miserable.

I just wish they'd been more proactive about helping them post-Teen Mom, I guess. I'm not super in on the fandom of it, but it seems like they just push more and more seasons and reunion specials and it feeds into this toxic atmosphere that's not healthy at all imo and should be criticized on the creators' parts.

ia but I also truly believe that the show affected them in how they grew... the money, the fame, the accesses it gave them. They've all become questionable ass people from what I've seen. I don't watch the show anymore and haven't for awhile but the news re: Janelle, Farrah, Gary and Amber, et al. is terrible. It's most obvious with Farrah.

I don't believe mental illness or substance abuse will make a home unhealthy or unsafe. There are plenty of people who struggle with both and their kids are well taken care of.

CAN it be unhealthy/unsafe? Absolutely. But posting something like that is just uncalled for. =/ There are people who work very hard to provide a safe and happy home for their children that struggle every day with substance abuse and mental health issues, and they don't deserve to be grouped together with the negligent substance users or the people who have extreme mental health issues that limit their parenting skills or cause them to intentionally be harmful to their kids.

The girl from Teen Mom needs to shut her damn mouth.

no experience with mental illness is the same, so a blanket "it's bad for kids" is lacking depth. if someone is incapable of caring for their child because of their illness(es), of course it's an unhealthy environment! but a managed illness shouldn't cause any issues.

parents with mental illness should have adequate community support, but mh funding is so dire that i can't see that happening in the near future.



i personally won't have kids - biological or otherwise - and one of the reasons for that is my mental health. having to parent my own father who is practically housebound because of his mental illness has soured me, and my mother exhibits worse bpd traits than i do sometimes.

i didn't grow up in an abusive environment, just one with conflict, but it messed me up in a major way and i would never want to pass that on to a child.
