Since we've been going back and forth on Marie, I have decided to post this link to A Deeper Dive re Marie Holmes, since it provided so much more information than we've been given from the press.

In summary, we learned that:
Marie's children are living with their grandmother out of state.
Hot Sauce has 3 children of his own so should they get married, they'll be a very dysfunctional Brady Bunch
It doesn't seem to me that Marie appreciated the tough love approach Iyanla to with her. She seemed very angry to be told that she was wasting a gift so I have no idea if she'll listen.
Iyanla set her up with a financial advisor, so...fingers crossed.
Hot Sauce had his final moments of freedom while the show was being taped.
Marie plans to marry him when he is released from prison in 7 years.
Marie recouped most of the bail money. She lost less than $2 million total, so not as bad as we thought.
On a different note:
The statistics about lottery winners distancing themselves from family members for up to 3 years after winning is something I didn't know, but makes a whole lot of sense.
I wasn't aware of the percentage of their win that lottery winners give away and that so much of it is given so soon after they receive the funds.
If anyone has additional stats with sources, please share.
What do you think of this deeper dive episode? Helpful to you should you win or was it a rehash of everything you already know?
