Honestly, most days I’m agreeing with what Danielle is saying when it comes to finances, but the most recent episode (13/11/23) when Danielle asks Yohan to pay half the rent, plus bills etc. I think was super unfair. She has an American job, which pays American wages. Yohan is/was working for Dominican wages.
When Yohan said if he contributes the same he will have nothing left for himself. And I agree with him (if these facts are true)
In my personal opinion, I think financial contributions should be split by % of income. My partner (33M) contributes more to our household because he earns more. If I (29F) contribute the same, I wouldn’t have any personal savings or extra money for myself. When I was earning more, I was contributing to the household more. It goes both ways…
Their ‘job’ is being on the show. I’d imagine that they are both being paid the same amount as they are both veteran cast members.
I’m not sure how it works when they are filming abroad. But in the USA if Yohan doesn’t have his green card he can’t get paid by TLC. The money goes to the American cast member
TLC is also notoriously shady with payments and contracts (read Jill Duggar’s book for more info on that).
I’d imagine TLC is fucking someone over before I would imagine them being fair tbh lol
The cast members can be paid when they are filming in their own country. It’s only the 90 day visa that prevents the foreign person from working so TLC pays only the US citizen.
No defense of TLC, but Jimbob did his part in fucking over his kids financially as well
