Now all of a sudden you wanna come and say your peace, or whatever nonsense you’re speaking about.” Joseline added, “Nobody cares about what a random person says about our family.”

They know what’s up.” She’s even had conversations with Bonnie Bella about her past as a stripper, showing that she’s willing to be honest about her experiences rather than leave her children to hear about them from someone else. “ She knows my dirty little secrets… Don’t let them get caught off guard.” Joseline also emphasized the importance of teaching her children to embrace their cultural identities. “And I’m very intentional about them loving being Hispanic.
