Hey everyone! Long time lurker, first time poster. I had a bit of an āinfamousā crazy exchange with Tracy several years ago that got me blocked (of course) and Iām SUPER curious if any of you were around for it. It was a big ordeal on her IG and I had a couple dozen ladies messaging me after showing their support. Okay, here is the tale:
I was actually a fan of hers. We grew up around the same area in NJ so I was really excited when Jerseylicious came out and I watched every episode. I enjoyed seeing all the familiar hometown places on screen. Even though Tracy was obviously being marketed as the villain, part of me identified with her and I liked her confidence. I too used to have troubles fitting in with groups, found myself disliked by others because I would say the things out loud everyone else was just talking smack about in secret, and even though Olivia was being marketed as the sweetheart I also found her annoying. Even though I didnāt agree with Tracyās actions all the time I respected her confidence.
I followed her on social media for years. When Jayden was bornā¦.THE INCIDENT happened.
Tracy posted a video on IG literally the second Jayden came out. She was in her gown, IV in, breathless, doctor still working between her legs, and Corey in the background with the nurses probably getting ready to cut the cord or something. Tracy said āSheās here!ā And thatās where the video ended. I remember being stunned that she posted it. Over the next day, Tracy went wild with the posting. Even though Jayden was only a day old she was already doing full-on āphotoshootsā in the hospital room with her. Multiple outfit changes. I rememberher posting about how she sent Corey home to go get this wild accessory for her next set of photos (it was like a huge lotus flower she wanted to put Jayden in) and being like āon the way to the hospital I asked this man if he had it and he said yeah. Guess what we donāt have?? Off to the house to get it he goes!ā And she thought it was so funny.
At this time I actually felt bad for her. I thought she was posting all of this because she felt like she HAD to, to appease her following or keep her fame. I thought she must be so exhausted and she must hate feeling the pressure to post so much. So I decided to try and reassure her. To this day I remember my exact words. I commented:
āMama, she is so beautiful. Take some time to enjoy the new member of your family. Donāt worry about posting so much. Rest and heal. We will all still be waiting for you when you get back
ā
Guys. Tracy went WILD. She went OFF on me. She replied with 3-4 PARAGRAPHS about how I was a jealous
witch, how I was the reason women could never just be happy for each other, how sheās allowed to post anything she wants on HER PAGE and doesnāt need my permission, that I was disgusting for tearing a new mother down, and that I would never have a beautiful family of my own like hers because my soul was ugly and God donāt like ugly.
I was absolutely flabbergasted and actually kind of upset. Again, I was a FAN and trying to show support. After that reply she blocked me.
Over the next several hours I got direct messages from at least 30+ women all saying they agreed with me and I didnāt do anything wrong and saying they were no longer a fan of hers after seeing how she tore me apart. A bunch of them apparently went back to her page (this was before screenshotting so I never saw it) to rip her a new one for speaking to me the way she did and it caused an all-out war. I had a couple messages trickle in from hardcore Tracy stans attacking me and saying I ruined Jaydenās birth by causing drama, but I got much more coming to support me. Apparently soon after Tracy made a whole separate post about jealous people tearing down new mothers and tons of people commented to defend me and she ended up deleting it.
Please tell me if you remember or were around on her page for this. Iām so curious.
