And let’s not fool ourselves here. The “life of a high roller” theme this time isn’t just about showing it in videos to lure future suckers. This was very much about wanting Reese to go home and tell Stacy’s ex how luxurious of a lifestyle they live. That was likely the main reason for the limos and for taking her to Vegas. Granted, she would have also seen the simple house they live in but I’m sure Chrissy talked his way around that.
And speaking of the house…it’s hilarious that Chrissy has to start all of his outdoor videos in front of that fountain, which is just across the street from the house they are renting. He clearly doesn’t want anyone seeing the exterior or interior of that house (other than the empty room with the picnic table (which I’m sure he never wanted seen on video).
It would appear as if the people coming to these events do have sone money. Otherwise I don’t know how they would be able to afford all the expense of having to travel to two different events and pay all associated costs. Plus for this one they would have had to take days off from work, which sone of them may or may not have been able to afford.
Some good info can be gleaned from the court documents which are publicly available online. If you remember, Chrissy and Stacy sued her ex Brian for lying about her in the custody hearing, and causing her to lose custody. It was a bizarre lawsuit, because I didn't think it was possible to sue someone for the outcome of a previous court case! That's what the previous case itself was adjudicated to do!
Anyway, the case was never heard because one large assertion was that Brian was lying about Chrissy being a gay porn star. Brian's lawyer subpoenaed Colt Studios, and at that point Chrissy knew his goose was cooked. The suit was immediately dropped.
However, we can learn from the filing that Stacy was claiming that she did lose custody to Brian, and had limited access to Resse, and it was due to Brian's allegations about Chrissy's behavior around Reese.
That's why it's so weird at this point that Brian is allowing this. Maybe Stacy finally paid him some child support, in exchange for being able to take Reese to Vegas. There's gotta be some reason he was okay with this. Perhaps he reasoned that Reese is old enough to not suffer any ill effects from spending time with Chrissy and Stacy, but I can't imagine it's healthy for a young teen girl to be brought in as a prop for an embarrassingly simple gambling/lifestyle scam.
Sometimes kids will be sensible enough to be disgusted by their parents' flaws and seek to be the opposite. I knew one guy whose parents were both alcoholics, and whose siblings were drug addicts, and he refused to touch alcohol or drugs because seeing their behavior disgusted him. I knew a girl whose dad left when she was a kid, and whose mom was fat, trashy, loud, and promiscuous, and did nothing to hide from people that she was banging tons of scummy dudes she'd meet at the bar. This girl was the complete opposite -- intelligent, softspoken, thin, and still a virgin at 18. She told me that her mom's behavior horrified her, and she was trying her hardest to be the opposite of her. I respected that a lot.
Hopefully Reese will look at what her mom has become, and will seek to never let that happen to her.
I really do wonder what Stacy saw in Chrissy in the first place. How can anyone woman be turned on by the obvious arrogance, ignorance, and phoniness? She managed to be a nurse, so clearly she's not stupid. I'm kinda guessing now that she had an inner scammer in her which wanted to be released, and Chrissy unlocked that for her.
