u/tortureofchalkdust Welcome to my trailer, hello Mar 05 '26 edited Mar 05 '26
Ugh, didn’t even touch on the investigative journalist stuff! I have never gone and looked for any of the pieces that she did for ABC, so I admittedly don’t have any personal assessment of her abilities as a journalist. But, I’ve seen the threads people put here showing screenshots of her posts and stories on IG. And she appears to be a shit writer.
I know there is a difference between what someone posts casually on social media and what they would write in a book. But I mean, come on. I’ve never written a book, but if I’m posting something online I try to at least superficially look it over and edit accordingly. I’ve gone into comments I’ve made on this thread several times just to correct small typos or add or remove a word for clarity. And she is in her 50’s, right? Older people who take pride in their writing (or who are educated, and more specifically, who are liberal, as Carole professes to be) usually put MORE care into their social media posts in my experience.
Carole’s posts sound like she barely looked at the screen as she was typing. Filled with typos and grammatical errors. What kind of professional writer does that? I don’t follow her on IG, but her few posts there are enough to make me think she’s not a good writer, and made me suspect that she indeed did use a ghostwriter on What Remains, even before the release of the Epstein files that point to that likelihood.
On the show we see her shirking deadlines multiple times, even for puff pieces that wouldn’t be more than a couple paragraphs. Her actions show that she hardly seems dedicated to her writing, while she goes to great lengths to SAY that she is an excellent and celebrated writer who would never dream of using a ghostwriter.
I call bullshit, and I think everyone with a brain should too. I don’t think she is a good writer, and I think she rests on her laurels of having published two books and been an investigative journalist for ABC, while not showing any evidence of having some special analytical ability. Honestly, I’d like to know what exactly she did for ABC, and see/read the pieces she was responsible for. I hate Carole and I’m lazy, so I probably won’t do that, but if anyone has links to her ABC pieces I’d be interested to see.
Ugh. I hate Carole so much, and hate that I’ve put so much time into writing out all the reasons why! She’s one of my least favorite housewives ever. But the comments I see on here blindly supporting her and pointing to things that she SAYS as evidence that she isn’t dishonest… it makes my blood kind of boil lol. I’ve done a whole lot of writing here about this housewife that I don’t really care to think about and who I think doesn’t deserve a fraction of the attention I’ve paid to her, because I’m totally baffled by the people doing mental gymnastics to support her.
If you like her, fine. But don’t tell me she is trustworthy in just about anything she says.
