Josh Murray - Amanda Stanton - BIP 3 - Discussion - #2

I personally don't think for even a second Andi considers Josh the love of her life. It was an 8 month made for TV engagement. That's all...

As for Amanda, yeah, not the sharpest crayon in the box. But I do think underneath it all she's a good person, she means well. I honestly can't say the same for Josh. Something is just not right with him.

ITA. If anything, I think she's feels vindicated about her fictitious novel, which I hope she made bank for personally.

Both Amanda and Andi... were a  MAY-DEC  romance.  (give or take a few weeks)

The only difference is it was played out on TV and media.

If this were a typical may-dec romance.  They usually were fun but not that heartfelt. (or love of my life type relationships)

It would just be considered "someone I dated for few months way back when"

Has RS ever been wrong about a breakup? With Jordan and jojo, he didn't say that they were broken up, just that he was hearing that things weren't good, a lot of people close to the situation were saying they were done, and he wouldn't be surprised if they announced a breakup at ATFR. He did say he didn't know for sure as he specifically said "are they still together? That's the million dollar question.". IMO.

He did say they broke up. IIRC, he said he heard from a source close to JoJo that she broke things off.

Who knows, maybe he's guessing they broke up based on the fact that he moved out and they've never gotten to this point before? IMO, RS seems to jump to conclusions based on what he hears and report it as "fact" sometimes. Not saying they're still together but it wouldn't surprise me if they're not 100% done and this is just another one of their break-ups.

The last time he talked about it before the ATFR was that July 28th column, from what i can find, he said he was hearing from some they were broken up and that everyone was saying there were issues and he wouldn't be surprised if they announced a breakup at ATFR, but he still said he didn't know 100%, by saying it was a million dollar question if they were together. He was definitely predicting it would soon be over, like he did with brad/emily, kaitlyn/shawn, and Chris/whitney, but he didn't definitively say it or say that it was an exclusive announcement like he did with josh/Amanda, Jef/Emily, Josh/andi, etc. when he announced those breakups before the actual official announcements. And, OT, but since it was brought up - I thought that public records showed that they were indeed renting as the house was bought in 2015 and was currently being rented. JMO.

^ Off topic, but to answer your last statement, I vaguely remember the article, but I'm pretty positive the article never said it was being rented by JoJo and Jordan. It was bought and then being rented after it was bought. JoJo and Jordan could have bought the house from the owner. JoJo, her friend Kathryn that found them the house and now the company that is completely decorating it for them have all said bought.

Back on topic - Josh definitely isn't living with Amanda IMO because there's been zero social media activity in regards to the kids, which he would do fairly often. I think RS is right with this one. IMO

Personally amanda gets zero credit from me. Why would she? Getting engaged to a guy she barely and moving him in to live with her two very young children? Ignoring the multitude of red flags? Potentially exposing her kids to another toxic environment where the' grownups' feel the need to punish each other after every argument? Every step of the way Amanda's made one bad decision after another so she doesn't get cookies now (if they did in fact break up).

Josh is really vindictive, and unforgiving. Everyone talks about Andi's books and her subtweeting but before any of that started on her part, I remember after the announcement came that they broke up he unfollowed her less than 10 minutes later on all SM (something it took her over a month to do), deleted all her/their pictures right away, and started doing those awful periscopes where he talked about how he would NEVER get back with her, how much happier he was without her and how miserable she made him, and implied over and over again that she wasn't a good person, and how he was finally free. At the time I remember thinking that it was so mean because she was clearly a mess and he was kicking her while she was down. That's the kind of guy he is, and I have no doubt that when everything with Amanda shakes out, it's gonna be more of the same and he'll somehow try to make it all her fault. All JMO.

I have a question, who gets custody of the car?  Didn't he buy Amanda a car not to long ago?

You nailed it and said it so well IMO. I remember how he acted during that breakup too and mean and vindictive is exactly the perfect two words for him. He's just horrible IMO.

Momma still has all her "happy" family photos up. Guess RS didn't tell her the news yet.

Ha, that momma will go down fighting to the extremely bitter end.

I don't believe for a second that BOR kept his controlling ways to his adult women. Men like him enjoy the feeling of power over people, so he prolly was a real jack-azz to those poor girls at times. I'm sure he had his moments of kindness too, but that really doesn't make up for other times when he had a selfish jerkwad attitude, imo.

Yikes, now the Duh has a problem - the court just lowered her child support, and without the bach couple thing, will she be able to keep up the sm shizzle $$? What a mess. We women can be such idiots.

I still think Jingle Ball is where it all ended. Wasn't Amanda's dad just on social media within the past week commenting that he couldn't wait for them to be with them for Christmas?

I hate to laugh, but these poor families have/had no idea

Dudes. Josh is 2 for 2 for 7 month fake engagements. How embarrassing.

Yeah, I don't for one second think he kept his chitty, vindictive, nasty attitutude in check when it came to those girls. You treat people how you treat people. And imo we now have evidence x2 (or will soon in the case of #2) that he doesn't treat women who aren't named Mama Murray very well. I'm not sure I've seen any evidence he deserves shack up boyfriend daddy of the year award here.

Those poor girls. At least they are young.
