    I just noticed something about Lydia and Karen 🤭 in their mother tongue they both speak very slowly lol

    I see so many similarities in them now, no wonder Pedro and Chantel were drawn to one another.

      They’re both trying to put on for the cameras to appear more intelligent. Nicole does the same thing, especially in her ITMs

      Occasionally you will hear Lydia and Nicole slip into their natural Dominican accents especially when they’re mad. Native Dominican Spanish is something like country twang in English. Not necessarily bad , but sometimes difficult to understand if you don’t have an ear for it. Some people (not saying it’s right) have negative associations about people that speak with that accent.

        Yeah omg that’s so true, they think speaking slower results in appearing more of an intellectual. 🤦‍♀️ But to me it seems like they have low IQ 😕

      they are absolutely nothing alike. thats literally how us Latinos/Hispanics talk. sure sometimes we talk faster but dont compare his family to chantels racist xenophobic family. i found it pathetic that stupid chantel knew his family don’t speak english and the idiot thought she said btch in Spanish aka pta meanwhile Nicole said punto. which means period. she said yes because she didnt understand wtf she was saying. chantel is a drama queen and mistreated pedro so badly. shes the cause of the marriage collapse. he really dod love her. u can tell it really affected him. at one point i was worried for his mental health because he looked suicidal and was severely depressed. all this shit stemmed from Chantel running to her family ever 5 secs. and then they all abused him and kept saying racist and xenophobic shit. my husband is white and was disgusted with the chantel family. he was like look how they talk down to him like hes less than a fcking dog.

          its very clear you are. not even a fan of teh show. i only started to watch their story fully after watching a clip on Facebook. so i rewatched their episodes. its very clear that Chantel and her lunatic family are the problem!

        That’s the only point I can agree with you on and after all of these years on this forum no one else has pointed out that this whole thing started because Chantel misunderstood Nicole because her Spanish was that terrible back then 😂

          yes exactly and Chantel is still lying about that shit. same with the fight when clearly she and her family provoked it. not to mention that shes lying about misunderstanding a Spanish word. its insane to me. she clearly could have asked the translator that she got later if she didnt understand. just to clarify cause she didnt trust her own husband to translate. it was very clear that nicole said period lol
