  • Ugh...

    I think it's time to work on NOT having an accent. It's gotten worse over the years and it's cringy to listen to. Sorry, but it's true. Speak clearly and concise in English, as in, Californian. It's LONG overdue.

  • Nick Vial story

    Get your stories straight Brittany. She told a story that years ago Jax asked Nick Vial to take a pic w Brittany at a party & Nick said no. Nick told this story on his pod during scandoval but it was JAX who asked for a pic w/Nick & he refused bc Jax's a disgusting pig & Nick didn't want to be associated with him. Don't get it twisted Brittany. you're not that big of a star & your husband's a liar
