She mentions that the cats are easy to take care of and having a dog would be actual work. (Her face seemed almost annoyed at the discussion of having the dog) Also what really annoyed me was that she spoke for her and Jesse in saying they never talked about wanting a dog. Pretty sure on Jesse’s YouTube he spoke about missing his dogs so much and that he is a dog person. Claudia is obviously trying to run the house. Now Claudia is using this puppy for content on her TikTok because puppy content always does well. (millions of views) It grosses me out the fake persona while she is on TikTok…talking about how she’s a puppy mommy now and she’s so happy to have their new puppy. Please, all you want is to have groupies blindly following your fake ass for money.
i’m not watching the vid but i did see veneer tech in the comments and can y’all tell me what she says.
bc idk if y’all watch the Do we know them podcast but Jesse & Lily talk abt how Veneer techs have been messing up ppls teeth and they do veneers properly. Dentists have come out and warned people about going to veneer techs bc it’s not safe.
Claudia posted on her TikTok a grwm vid and was talking about how it means so much to her to spend quality time with her family and Jesse…this coming after the post on the last Walsh World pod that people were questioning if Claudia hates spending time with her family because of her annoyed behaviofacial expressions. Also we were dragging her on here for not traveling with Jesse lol hello Claudia
