She’s Speaking Out About Her Experience On A Reality TV Show After She Says It Traumatized Her
In the early 2000s, reality TV shows were all the rage, and since then, things have really not slowed down for the genre.
But, one woman has recently come forward about how toxic her experience was filming for a reality TV show.
The show that she was on followed young couples between the ages of eighteen and twenty-two during the days leading up to their wedding.
And the woman, named Kara Willemsen, saw another TikToker discussing how being on a reality show left them with more trauma.
Kara scanned through the comment section and saw a lot of blame being directed at the TikToker– which she takes issue with.
So, she created a response video in which she also opened up about her own experience.
“This girl’s post came up on my for you page, and I read a lot of the comments basically saying that it is not [the TV network’s] fault they [the family] had issues,” Kara began.
She then went on to share how she and her husband were actually on the show that she ended up filming for.

“It is not super common knowledge because our stuff never aired. But we filmed for a few days in North Carolina, and after that incident, we decided we were no longer going to continue to film,” Kara continued.
Apparently, the show’s producers were “forceful” and intrusive. They tried to film while Kara was in the hospital and allegedly also wanted Kara to recreate a military homecoming.
“If you know anything about those, there was no recreating one. Reality TV shows…are not reality,” she added.
There is a lot of planning that goes on behind the scenes, and Kara just wanted people to know that they cannot believe everything they really see on screen.
“Thank you for shining light on how this stuff works, and I am so sorry you went through this,” commented one user.
“I was horrified to read the other comment section. I felt like I needed to put this out there,” Kara responded to the comment.
