I started a new knitting project and I'm going to end my boring personal updates there because that's really the extent of it.

A Christmas card got sent out in Charleston, South Carolina, that has gone a little viral on Reddit. I saw this in the DMs as well, and I was absolutely floored. Floored. And this is when I think to myself, I'm just so glad that the – pop apostles are spread out, you know, across the land and sea because they are bringing us just like the best stories from, from everywhere, from far and wide.
Like we're not going to miss a single thing. And yes, we're going to share it with everybody because it's fine. It's not like we're using first and last names. And, you know, honestly, the purpose of this card was to spread the good word about, you know, some, some actions of a certain man.
Chapter 5: What chaos occurred during the Golden Globes?
Absolutely. There was someone who felt like they were silent and they did not want to be silenced anymore. For that reason, we will share this Christmas card. And I just want to echo your sentiments, Chandler, that I am so grateful we have Papa Apostles with boots on the ground in all corners of the earth. All corners.
So I'm just going to describe the front of this card, and then we'll get into what it says on the back. The front shows a darling mom and her two darling, darling children standing, just a cute family pic. But there is no father figure in the card. And so now, Anna, go ahead and read the back.
Chapter 6: What is the buzz around Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet?
OK? You ready? Mm-hmm. So it begins. What a year.
Chapter 7: What conflict arises between Sutton and Jennifer Tilly in RHOBH?
After discovering in 2023 that Ben had been paying for sex since the beginning of their six-year marriage, throughout two IVF pregnancies, Wait, stop. Sorry. Yeah, sorry. Stop. I just think we need to set the stage for everyone really quick.
Chapter 8: How does Kyle Richards navigate loyalty and drama in RHOBH?
This card was sent out, it seems, from this person's mother. Mother. with two children, very, very cute mom and kids. And then what's most hilarious about this is it's just a very kind of standard normie minted Christmas card. So it's just printed on the back by minted with, like, the background is black and white stripes. So it's, like, one of their traditional Christmas prints.
And what would otherwise be, like, you know, Johnny started a new soccer team this year and – I don't know, Lydia's learning the flute, we actually have a different kind of update. So Chandler, please repeat. Yeah, I'm going to start it over because I think it's perfection. Yeah, this is everything I've ever wanted. So once again. Finally, an interesting Christmas card. Finally, so it begins.
What a year.
After discovering in 2023 that Ben had been paying for sex since the beginning of their six-year marriage, throughout two IVF pregnancies, the premature birth of their son, throughout COVID, the birth of their daughter, throughout Lisa's mother's stage four cancer diagnosis, spending close to $100,000 of their marital assets for sex in just three years and nearly $15,000 in a single Miami weekend—go dogs—
all while refusing to have sex with Lisa and blaming her, even on their honeymoon. Lisa is finally divorced. So that's the end of the first sentence. Wow. Wow. So it goes on.
Wanting to avoid court for fear of exposing his double life within the Charleston community, Ben allowed Lisa and the kids to relocate to Virginia and played the victim among his friends and family while washing his hands of any financial responsibility with the exception of about $2,000 a month in child support and health insurance for the children through his work, all while living south of the street for $5,000 a month and maintaining a golf membership at the country club of Charleston.
Every sentence, by the way, ends with an exclamation point. It's incredible. Yeah.
Through Ben's professional litigation experience, a lifelong sense of entitlement, his ability to correctly calculate that Lisa would not risk his offer to relocate by going to trial, and a family court system that protects men like Ben and expects next to nothing from dads, Ben was also able to stop paying for their school, dodge alimony, and take 60% of their house in the settlement.
The same house Ben insisted on buying, which they had no business buying in the first place, which would have been sold in a distressed sale had Lisa's parents not financed the majority of the renovation, to the tune of $600,000.
