There has to be a reason. Any attorney would say to at least fight for what you both agreed to in the prenup. Why would you just ignore a prenup, unless she did something wrong outside of the scope of the prenup AKA cheat and then she would have to fight it. If you didn't do anything wrong, wouldn't they have to give you what was written in the prenup without even going to court? IDK how they work but it is my assumption. So, did she just drop it because she did something wrong?

Any chance she was a little cozier with TD before the split then she’s led us to believe, but Brett knew and that’s why?

 

 
I 100% believe she took what was offered because she was already in her relationship with TD and it was all going to come out. I don’t think Brett would be blackmailing her; he would have been saying “These were the terms and you broke them. Take what I’m offering and walk away.”  When she talks about going to court, I’m sure she (her parents) thought she should sue him for more but ultimately realized she was in the wrong and settled for what she was offered. Why else wouldn’t she get/take half of everything? As for her settling quickly because she “needed the money,” you know Old Rich Strecker would have taken care of her until everything was was finalized, especially if she was going to get millions of dollars. I don’t buy that for one minute. There’s way more to this story and I think someone was actually being gross in her marriage and won’t admit it.

You guys are blowing my mind, it has never occurred to me they were together before the divorce!!!! A lot more stuff makes sense now though!

She's said a few times (and again this morning), Brett was the one that invited TD to stay in their hotel room for New Years. Why do you think that was? I guess if it were a suite with a separate bedroom I could see, seems weird if they were all in one room though? Unless maybe a last minute thing, out drinking and instead of going back to Eds place, just crash with them? Still very odd though, with how particular she has made him seem, super odd to have a random friend come for a sleepover!

The DropBox link has been updated with Andi’s response to Jordan’s complaint. Most of it is pretty boring, but of note is that Andi is denying the affair and that she received $3-4M on her 30th birthday, which is an odd thing to be in dispute IMO because that should be easy to prove one way or another. The reason for filing in Federal court is because of the amount he is suing for. And the e-mails at the very end are worth looking at. OH and I missed this detail the first time around, but that property in upstate NY was a WEDDING GIFT. Who gives real estate for a wedding gift?!

 The tax issue is addressed in Jordan’s 2017 e-mail to their accountant. It is worth noting here that he was unaware who handled his taxes in 2015 and 2016, used “are” instead of “our” and has generally wonky punctuation- perhaps an indicator that attention to detail isn’t Jordan’s strong suit. In the same e-mail he does state that their marital status will “change in the coming months”, so in my opinion, while he was aware at the time that he wasn’t legally married, he does seem to be under the impression that they would be imminently.

The second e-mail between Jordan and Alan makes me feel bethos. Curious what you all think.

This is great info! That email with Alan is interesting. It seems that they were cordial when they knew the marriage was ending. I wonder why Jordan totally made a turn and went to the press?  I guess money makes people to crazy things. I wonder why Jordan would want his own name out there in the press? Seems like a bad decision to me.

She said the other day that her and TD have been together for 4 or 5 years...I wish I remembered which episode. If they were divorced in 2015, it was close timing. They were at NYE in Dec. 2014 with kissing heart emojis. The timing is close.

I think the email is dodgy. Why is that just coming out now, did dad just remember he had it all of a sudden?? I think something hinky is up!

The way I remember it was Taylor invited TD to Miami with them for NYE and told her she could stay in their room. Brett was not happy about it. I think that's when he suspected there was something going on between them. 

I clearly remember Brett was the one who invited TD and Taylor did a show topic at the time about if it was a weird/ok thing to do. I recall Taylor wasn’t happy about it leading up to the trip. TD was a nanny at the time and had to travel to Jupiter, FL with the family for winter break. They gave her New Years Eve off but she didn’t have anything to do, and when she told Taylor and Brett, he invited her to come to Miami, spend New Year’s Eve with them at soho house and crash in their room for the night. I don’t know why I remember this so clearly—I think because I would be upset if my husband did that! On New Years I’d definitely want to be alone with my husband in our hotel room, but I guess they had a pretty sexless marriage. Anyway she and Kenny discussed it prior to the vacation—and I think after too. You know how she repeats topics. Btw TD still has insta photo up with TS and Wubby from that night and then laying out by the pool with Wubby the next day. I don’t think anything fishy was going on at that point.

A few random thoughts:

I revisited Andi & Jordan’s wedding registry. It is beyond obnoxious.

Andi’s last name must be derived from Potemkin, as in Potemkin village, which is beyond ironic.

I wonder if Jordan or Andi will get Brian Atwood in the “divorce.”

Between your name and Potemkin Village, you win. Dead. Done. Deceased. (also exhausted from this week's drama.) 

We've all been talking about this in detail, but no one has been able to explain to me the aloe leaf for $225.00 on the registry. I have an aloe plant in my bathroom. It was 12.00.  If I snip off the leaves, could I make a cool 1k?  I'm genuinely confused. 

So I was thinking about this again yesterday. Has Taylor known Andi long enough, and could the reason behind her quick defense of her be because Andi is the one who got her into Soho House originally? Don’t you need a sponsor to get in? (If not Andi, does anyone know/remember how she got in?)

I sort of forgot about this until Taylor mentioned today that Captain Sandy (from Below Deck) dated Andi's mom for a long time. (what?! we need to peel that onion some more)

Anyway, I just checked in on the case and it looks like Andi is demanding a jury trial.

A somewhat anti-climactic ending to this saga- excerpt from request for dismissal:

As the Court is aware from our July 2 letter, the parties have recently engaged in settlementdiscussions in an effort to reach a resolution of Mr. Blackmore’s claims. Regrettably, thosediscussions have failed, and there now appears to be no hope of a resolution short of trial. Inaddition, the parties’ Rule 26(f) conferences have made clear that pursuing this litigation to itsconclusion will require Mr. Blackmore to expend inordinate personal and financial resources,depleting his already limited assets and eroding his ability to rebuild his life in the foreseeablefuture. Rather than continue to pursue his claims against the Potamkins, Mr. Blackmore wishes tovoluntarily dismiss this action so that he may devote his time and limited means to rebuilding hisbusiness and personal life.

Taylor said on her show yesterday she has told Andi she could come on one of her podcasts to tell her side of the story. While I know it would be very heavily edited toward Andi, I would still like to hear!
