  1. I personally think everyone is being over sensitive about this post. Joy & Carlin are bf’s so maybe since she was taking the pictures they wanted one together to remember the day. After all they don’t get to see each other very often. And as close as they are always FaceTiming & talking on the phone I’m sure Joy gave her blessing. And if not, well that’s between them isn’t it?
