From the outside, Felice seemed to be living the American dream, but in reality, she was living a financial lie. When Oprah first met this stay-at-home mother of six in 2007, she admitted to spending $300 to $400 a month at Starbucks and nearly $60 a week on tanning and manicures. “When I do shop, I do kind of get a rush. It makes me feel good,” she said. “Afterwards, though, I get depressed. For more on #WhereAreTheyNow, visit bit.ly/2dTkIT9

I feel bad for her ex-husband, she put him in tons of debt, then instead of helping work it off she divorced him and remarried.... I don't see how everyone is saying how brave and amazing she is.... :/

If three-year-old furniture is old to her then mine must be antiques.

you know what improves a terrible financial situation? 12 children.
@beneyboo3800 8 years ago

Something tells me she was with her now husband the whole time she was married to her former husband. He did your windows in your house and you became "friends" the entire 12 years?

She is still irresponsible to me...having so many kids and finding partners to support her and her kids...she does not wok... no respect.

I need therapy. You need therapy. We aaaaallll need therapy. But boy, does this lady need therapy!
@eggsetcetera 8 years ago

She still doesn't seem to take responsibility. How is the ex husband that worked for all that money? Is he stuck with the bills? How much child support is he forced to send her? Is he still holding down a job while we listen to her woes about her happiness? What about his happiness? How damaged are the kids? Are the kids learning about responsibility?

This is upsetting. She used her husband and kept him around to take care of her, whilst never loving him apparently, bled him completely dry and then left him? The poor husband has to what now? He has no money, debt up to his eyeballs, has child support for all of his kids, probably alimony since she was a house wife & hes older... what does he do now?

A question to all women, how the hell do you have 7 kids with someone you claim to be miserable with? Seriously curious about this.

"I wanna stay at home with my kids and be a mom" When I'm not out... shopping, getting manicures, pedicures, hairsalon spending a fortune at Starbucks.

Am I the only one who feels bad for the ex-husband?
@justme12131973 8 years ago

Thats wonderful, but her poor ex husband was a victim here as well.. how is he?

I saw this woman again in paternity court. Her husband doubted about his paternity because of this woman's alcoholism and because her husband had vasectomy 20 years ago. But her pregnancy turned her alcoholism away and turned out that she's a loyal woman and vasectomy wasn't a successful one. She remained tactful and mature during the court hearing.

I dont feel sorry for her.All my symphati goes to her ex husband.

The best medicine for someone like this is to....get a JOB...they need to know how much it takes to make money.
