Marie Osmond's kids won't get an inheritance: "For reasons which are well known to them"

I don't think living with her and the creepy doll collection could have been easy.

If she's gonna virtue signal like that she should also share how much she spent on education, help with housing, etc. etc. etc. because the likelihood her kids are starting from the ground up seems pretty low me. I worked for a millionaire who liked to make the same boast and his little darlings were scattered around the world with trust funds and homes in London and New York etc. etc. etc. This line is usually bullshit.

Said the woman who piggybacked to fame on her brothers' shoulders. I'm sure if she was born Marie Hendrickson her music and doll designs would have been just as profitable.

I like it when nepo babies like this it had doors in advantages that most people spend a lifetime trying to get lecturing the rest of us on hard work.

She's a nepo baby, she shouldn't lecture people about making it on their own

Hm, I don't think I'd call Marie Osmond a "nepo baby." Doesn't that mean they have famous parents? She doesn't, as far I know. Marie Osmond was part of "The Osmonds" singing group, and if I recall correctly, made her money by her own work.

[quote] Marie Osmond

CUNT!

Do her kids still talk to her?

If I were one of her kids, and she made this announcement, I would be out the door and never come back.

Fuck her.

Marie was never part of "The Osmonds" singing group.

r9 you are incorrect, she did sing with them but it was rare. Please see wikipedia on the subject.

[quote] Their only sister Marie, who rarely sang with her brothers at that time, launched a successful career in 1973, both as a solo artist and as Donny's duet partner. By 1976, the band was no longer producing hit singles; that year, they transitioned into television with Donny & Marie, a popular variety show that ran until 1979.

Still not a nepo baby.

[quote]If I were one of her kids, and she made this announcement, I would be out the door and never come back.

I think that’s what she wants. If you want to move out of the mansion and make it on your own, more power to you.

the practice among those with power or influence of favoring relatives, friends, or associates, especially by giving them jobs

nepo baby, riding on her bigger brothers' groovy 70's coattails.

So is the "charity" she's donating to is the Mormon Church?

I wonder why her son jumped off that building

I think a smarter thing to do would be to put them in the "family business," and let them earn money that way.

That's what a lot of corporate heads to. They give their kids jobs in the company and let them work their way up.

Marie's kids could work as producers or tech people or P/A's or whatever. They can work and save and get established, then if they want to go do something else, then let them.

I think it's really selfish and cruel if you have money and means, but then you throw your kids out in the cold.

It takes a real asshole to do something like that.

She’s a cunt.

This reminds me of a very popular comedian who says one of his kids asked, “Dad, are we rich?”

His response? “Well *I* am.”

I predict there are Mommie from Hell books that are already in the works...

She can't be worth that much. She has been relevant for 40 years.

I bet she exploited those kids to sell magazines and promote her "brand" when it served her purposes. Plus she's a cunt for even talking about such private family financial matters. Man, what a bitch.

Joan Crawford wants her eyebrows back. Even dead.

Most of these kids aren't mine anyway, why should I have to keep supporting them when I'm dead? Besides, the Mormon church is out of the adoption business. Used to be you could get a kid for as little as $4000 bucks as opposed to 30k-40k in other states. No wonder we bought a bunch of advertising at that price.

Adopted kids have problems I was not equipped to deal with, like having a mom.

Mormon-adjacent here. This is a thing. They give their "worldly gains" back to the church. It is the ultimate tithe, and some think you (well, your husband anyway) get a better planet for your financial "gift".

Seriously, makes the the Catholic church seem pure of ill intent.

Don't worry...the Mormons provide plentiful opportunities to other fellow Mormons for jobs, especially famous ones.

Weren't her parents dirt poor?

I bet Donnie won't be this heartless to his kids. Marie is brainwashed damaged goods, an easy target of the church in her old age.

The Osmond brand hasn't been relevant for years.

Outside of Branson and the State Fair circuit, I don't see a lot of earning potential.

The family built a studio in Salt Lake where music was to be recorded and the Donny and Marie show would be produced. It tanked.

Marie, who is nuts, looks more like a drag queen every time I see her. Does anybody remember her melt down where she just took off?

Anyway, Kathy Griffin said she was bat shit years ago and she was right.

R4 What is your native language?

We lived in the same neighborhood way back in the day and my sister played with Marie.

Not in a sexual sense, you demented hos.

R4 = Britney

I wonder if she got brain damage from the ex who beat her for years. Sad.

She birthed 8 children. Her uterus must be dragging behind her as she walks.

One of the kids died by suicide. I wonder what prompted that.

How did she end up so nutty? She was the only sister in a bunch of boys. Was she molested? Donny seems relatively grounded.

He was gay, and that doesn't...fly...in Mormonism. It is sad but god knows what abuse he escaped from.

She looks plastic.

R8, Not the adopted gay son who committed suicide.

R32 she adopted five of her kids, so only three of them shot out of her pussy. She claimed she had Post Partum Depression, which was just a cover for being batshit crazy.

Well thank Joseph Smith at least her pussy isn't dragging behind her!

Every time Marie is mentioned I remember the DLer who joked that he saw her on a plane with her Emotional Support Tarantula.

r39 You mean her fake eyelashes?

I sort of agree with her.

Give them each 50K and encourage them to blow it on a couple nice vacations, then get back to their lives. Nothing is fine too, it's her money, why not?

R41. My gripe is why do these rich people have to announce what they're leaving or not leaving to their kids? Why is this anyone's business?

Bill Gates did the same thing. Please don't hate me for being rich and white, my kids are going to eat beans and live in a barn.

Right, R42? I's like some kind of reverse humblebrag.

“Mom, can we get a deal on Nutrisystem?”

She always looked shellacked.

[quote]“Mom, can we get a deal on Nutrisystem?”

No, stay fat, ya heifer.

If she really adopted half her brood only to leave them penniless she is the biggest cunt that ever cunted and I don’t say that lightly. I thought the purpose of adopting kids was to give them a better life? Bitch you could've left the in the orphanage then what the hell? This sounds spiteful and tonedeaf to announce out loud as well, she must've attended the Melissa Etheridge school of motherhood. You gotta wonder about a woman who makes this kind of announcement after one of her kids has died by suicide.

Seems shitty. Half her kids are already in their 30's. They are all adults. She probably won't die for awhile. They would have already known how to work. I'd personally want my kids to live comfortably after my death.

Wonder if any of her kids even talk to her.

Weird fact about Marie — she remarried her first husband after 25 years with her second husband with whom she had the kids.

As a gayling I always crushed on the husband. He was a very attractive man.

He was, r50. That’s a great pic.

You just know he’s got a nice pelt under that sweater.

Because, ya know, she had no help or head-start in the biz with that giant brunette version of the King Family behind her... 🙄

Her husband at R50 looks totally gay.

No wonder he didn't have kids with her.

Marie's story is very strange.

Marries a man who won't have kids with her. Divorces him. Marries another man who does have kids with her. Divorces him. Then re-marries man who won't have kids with her, and now she says she's going to spend all her money with him, until she dies.

Something is not right with this story.

Another pic of the first husband. Movie star handsome.

Can’t wait for the Lifetime Original Movie!

"Marie Dearest".

She comes off as America's Sweetheart, but there might be a very dark side to her. A "Marie Dearest" book could be her undoing.

After her son committed suicide, she's heartlessly punishing her living children by disinheriting them? She should at least set-up trust funds, to insure them of food, shelter and clothing.

What a cold, heartless bitch!

If Angelina ever tried to do this she would be murdered by all her kids at once

Marie Dearest needed publicity.

[quote]I think a smarter thing to do would be to put them in the "family business," and let them earn money that way.

For all we know, that's what she's done. She probably has a charity and the kids are involved in some way. Of course, that's just another way to funnel money to the kids.

[quote]Marie, who is nuts,

Best adjective clause EVER, R27. How I cackled!

I really don't get why she adopted so many kids.

Who cares about her big gaping Mormon muff.

I’m not impressed. She’s not THAT rich($20 million) .

Someone like Bezos who’s worth over $100 billion I can see not wanting to leave his kids all of that money.

She never would have had a career in the first place if someone hadn't had the idea of turning Donnie and her into a cheap plastic knockoff of The Carpenters.

How will the kids afford THEIR bad plastic surgery?

How awful to have Marie as a mother. What a cunt!

Children don’t ask to be born into this world. Parental responsibility doesn’t end when the kid turns 18. If the kids are loving and respectful toward her, why not pass along her wealth to make life a little easier for them and their families? We don’t know what the future will be. Even if my kids were comfortable and independent I’d want to leave them my estate in the event there is a looming second Great Depression, medical emergencies, unexpected loss of income/wealth. Why wouldn’t you want that for someone you brought into the world?

Marie, dear, there are less contractual ways to assure your children don’t inherit your wealth.

R50 R54 hot husband has gay face

[quote] the practice among those with power or influence of favoring relatives, friends, or associates, especially by giving them jobs

That’s the definition of nepotism. Nepo baby is a neologism and it refers specifically to the children of famous entertainers/celebrities, like Maya Hawke or Scott Eastwood.

Marie is not a nepo baby.

So her parents and family name had nothing to do with her career?

Dumbfuck

[quote]to insure them of food,

Oh, dear!

R72, her parents?! Really?

Who cares, let Marie do what she's going to do.

Oh Marie, just go drink some mustard...and shut the fuck up.

Marie seems like a real asshole.

Marie wants to save her money, so she can fix up her husband's Mormon planet and buy a new doll collection in her Mormon afterlife.

"My husband may look gay - but he's a whiz at fixing my wigs and he loves my doll collection as much I do!"

Imagine living with this woman, then believing you have to inhabit a planet with her and her spawn for eternity.

[quote] So her parents and family name had nothing to do with her career?

Those things have nothing to do with being a nepo baby, dimwit.

Again, nepo babies are people who got work in the entertainment business because of their celebrity PARENTS. Were the Osmond parents famous performers, dumbfuck?

Is Marie turning into a man?

[quote]Again, nepo babies are people who got work in the entertainment business because of their celebrity PARENTS.

Just keep our moms name out yo fucking mouth.

Self-righteous Marie is basically implying that her kids' would just sit on their lazy asses all day just waiting for her to kick off if she didn't let it be known in advance that her estate is earmarked for total strangers. That is just flat out COLD.

Marie's still angry, because the children were harder to care for than her doll collection.

[quote] I really don't get why she adopted so many kids.

The Osmonds (Mormons) was / is a huge family, maybe 11 kids. Marie probably wanted a huge family. Maybe her hormones went crazy when she got pregnant, post-partum depression issues.

[quote] How did she end up so nutty? She was the only sister in a bunch of boys. Was she molested?

She has said she was indeed molested as a teenager by someone close to the family, but she's said neither her father nor her brothers were the molestors.

I disagree with some of you that she has some sort of ethical duty to leave her money to her adult children--your financial obligations to your children legally end once they are 18, and if you choose to give them more of your money after that, that's out of the goodness of your heart. It is not an obligation. Her kids are adults with careers of their own, and should not need her millions to lead happy lives.

I do think she is ridiculous to be virtue-signaling on this, and disingenuous to claim she came up the hard way. Her brothers were adored nationwide as the male version of the Lennon Sisters on the Andy Williams Show in the early 60s, and then (believe it or not) were hugely popular rock & pop music stars around 1970-71, selling themselves basically as the white version of the Jackson 5. (They actually had #1 Billboard hits, including "One Bad Apple" and "Go Away with Girl," and other top 20 hits like "Down by the Lazy River" and "Just like a Yo-yo"). She never would have had her recording career begin had she just been Jane Schmoe from Ogden, UT.

That said, it's widely understood she has grappled her whole adult life with mental illness (besides the sexual abuse, she also dealt with anorexia and tremendous anxiety and depression), and is a fragile and eccentric person.

I think the husband remarried her just for the money. As a parent you always want to have something to hand down to your kids, most parents don't work for themselves but for their children and hope they can contribute to giving them a good life unless, the kids don't mean that much to them.. I always felt that she handled her son's death strangely, like oh well, I tried.

20 million is not that much for all those kids. She could will them 1 million each and still have plenty for charity. 1 mil basically pays off your mortgage and goes into college funds. Big whoop.

She’s an obedient Mormon slave.

She'll give her children - all grown - their inheritance while she is alive thus preventing them from fighting over her will.

Her face gave me a Diana scream.

She's a filthy cunt to the core.

Unless I missed something, there's no evidence that the son who killed himself was gay. At all.

This was something crazy, heartless, stupid Roseanne Barr put out there immediately when she heard about the suicide, and was forced to apologize for it...yet somehow it seems to have stuck in peoples' minds. Imagine the malevolence of somebody who feels it's necessary to lash out at a mother who's son just offed himself. I'm not some crazed Marie Osmond fan by any means, but I've loathed Roseanne ever since. And I liked her once upon a time.

Marie said he wasn't gay. She affirmed that her daughter IS gay, and they have a very good relationship. So I don't think she would have denied it had her son been gay.

Of course, it's possible that he was gay and didn't tell anybody, but that's something we'll never know.

He DID suffer from lifelong, severe depression, however. Seems like that would be a factor in a suicide, but what do I know?

[quote]lash out at a mother who's son just offed himself

Oh, DEAR!
