As Louis mentioned last week, every time we write something accurate and snarky about "The Pioneer Woman" Ree Drummond – a.k.a. the trust fund kid who traded out her affluent country club lifestyle to live a hard knocks mom-life on a multi-million dollar ranch owned by one of largest private land-owning families in the US – her army of mommy bloggers hop into the comments and accuse us of being angry and jealous of her success.
Truth is, we kind of are. Can you blame us? Since she beat us in the 2008 Oklahoma blog awards, Ree has grown into an even wealthier international celebrity, and we're still here shilling blog posts and peddling trivia nights. Phonies get all the breaks!
That being said, at least we don't have to worry about our "dark secrets" being exposed to people waiting in the Walgreens checkout line:
Yes, it's official. Ree Drummond is finally the subject of a supermarket tabloid hit piece. If the cookbooks, Walmart kitchen items, Food Network show, and Reese Witherspoon movie treatments hasn't proven it already, I guess Ree Drummond has finally made it to the A-list.
Unfortunately, the In Touch article is not available online, so we don't really know what "dark secrets" Ree Drummond is hiding. I assume most of them are things we already know, like how Ree plagiarized recipes from Green Country cookbooks, hired tutors to "home school" her kids, and use sponsored giveaway gimmicks to help gain a following.
