Adam and Danielle Busby, stars of the reality TV show OutDaughtered, are facing growing criticism from some fans who are becoming increasingly frustrated with their perceived sense of entitlement. These fans believe that the Busby Quints are surrounded by individuals who may not have their best interests at heart.
Adam and Danielle’s Struggles on Display
While the last season of OutDaughtered primarily focused on the marital problems between Adam and Danielle Busby, it also delved into the challenges they face in their hectic lives and their financial insecurities. Danielle openly shared her struggles with living with an autoimmune disease and the toll it takes on her mental health.
However, many fans are skeptical of the show’s authenticity, suspecting that it follows a scripted narrative. Some viewers find it difficult to relate to the Busbys when comparing their lives to those of others. The family frequently travels and engages in enjoyable activities, and they possess luxuries that are not considered ordinary for those who claim to have financial difficulties.
Fans Express Frustration with the Busbys’ Entitlement
On Reddit, one fan expressed their opinion, stating, “The quints kids are surrounded by sellouts.” They provided examples to support their claim, highlighting the family’s apparent love for attention, money, and fame. The post mentioned the substantial earnings the family receives from the show, as well as the ownership of multiple cars, a $5,000 French bulldog, an expensive watch owned by Adam, and an $8,000 women’s Rolex owned by Danielle. The fan speculated that the family’s friends and relatives likely haven’t benefited financially from their association with the Busbys, accusing them of constantly exploiting their family for profit.
Fans Discuss the Busbys’ Excessive Lifestyle
Following the initial post, other OutDaughtered fans joined the discussion, commenting on various aspects of Adam and Danielle Busby’s life. Money is not the only resource fans believe the family squanders.
Some fans shared the sentiment that Adam and Danielle prioritize financial gain, viewing their children as a source of income. They questioned the couple’s humility and criticized their lack of time investment in their children’s activities, suggesting that Adam’s physique indicates he has ample free time. Additionally, fans questioned why the family, as millionaires, would argue that hiring two babysitters is too expensive, considering their large number of children.
Concerns about exploitation were also raised, with fans expressing disappointment in the show’s direction and its focus on Danielle while neglecting other family members, such as Aunt Kiki, Uncle Dale, and their children.
The “Novelty Has Worn Off”
In another Reddit thread, some fans expressed the opinion that the OutDaughtered producers are struggling to find compelling content featuring Adam and Danielle Busby. One user stated, “The novelty has worn off, so now they are just grasping for things to film,” suggesting that the Busby Quints were more captivating when they were babies and toddlers. The same user felt that the show’s excessive focus on Danielle overshadowed other family members, leading to a lack of diversity and depth in the narrative.
Criticism regarding the family’s privilege was also raised, with fans expressing disappointment in seeing people living in large houses, owning multiple vehicles, and constantly going on vacations complaining about financial issues. Some viewers found this aspect of the show tone-deaf, particularly when many individuals are genuinely struggling with their finances.
