I always loved watching her act on movies or as a comedian….She had a real talent to be a serious actress & a funny comedian !!!!
I don’t like him anyway….He has a deceitful, sickening & has a controlling disposition about himself & wants everything to go his way….I don’t believe in polygamy anyway & to trying to keep up 4 wives & all their needs, all the children he has can’t be a real daddy like they should have….I believe a lot of their show is fake….I don’t think he has much of a loving husband or daddy….He is also self-centered….Now he is going around kissing his step-daughters !!!! He has a problem sexually also !!!!
