I watched the series and it's pretty clear that everyone's a shitbag.
Son's blown 100k on Uber Eats and 80k on rent., I can see why the bank queried it. And a chat with Wendy as she was at the start of this would only have confirmed she wasn't of sound mind, so I get why the proceedings started. Given he's in the family I get why the judge didn't want it going to another family member, who'd probably act as a proxy for him. If he is actually funnelling money to his dad, then fuck him. Niece gave me weird vibes, the sister and best friend didn't.
The guardian the judge has appointed obviously isn't doing their job. Wendy is vulnerable and she's around sharks. Thankfully they got her into a facility by the end where she's allegedly doing well, but christ it took a reality TV program feeling this was uncomfortable before they did.
The manager - what the fuck is he doing there? Other than being some kind of reporting agent to the guardian, but what kind of work could he be searching for with her? No food in her house either to make up his 'I'm looking after her' act.
Shawn's the worst of the lot. Not only is she financially exploiting Wendy, she's humiliating her. Taking her to a meeting with Universal execs when she's incoherent and getting her feet out? Horrific. Her taking verbal abuse from Wendy doesn't mean she has any right to do what she's doing.
I can't think Wendy would have wanted any of this on air if he was of sound mind. She'd have never shown her natural hair on TV, she'd have never been getting her feet out either. Everybody who signed off on this, including the family who did those talking heads, deserves all the shit they're getting. It's exploitation pure and simple, and Lifetime knows it because even they got uncomfortable while filming this. How utterly humiliating for Wendy. I know she was a twat but I do think losing your mind as everybody exploits you is one of the worst fates possible.
