It became apparent ahead of the pilot of Breaking Amish that the show was contrived drama about the supposed misadventures of four former Amish and one former Mennonite, all of whom actually left their communities years ago but they’ve been reliving their exits at the behest of producers. TLC quickly admitted “some of the claims […]

Earlier today, news outlet CBS 21 confirmed reports about Breaking Amish’s Jeremiah Raber being arrested for domestic violence against his ex-wife Naomi Stutzman. It wasn’t really news, as it had already been established that Raber regularly beat his then-wife and that was partly the grounds on which she filed for divorce in 2011 and sought sole custody […]

This time last month, news outlet CBS 21 landed an interview with Jeremiah Raber’s ex-wife Naomi Stutzman who said Breaking Amish was “fake” and Raber’s back story on the show was obfuscated and, mostly, inauthentic. There are lots of things from Raber’s past that have been hidden/ glossed over/ never mentioned by the show. Until next week’s […]

In a new teaser for Breaking Amish, there are some halfhearted attempts to explain away the preexisting relationships of some of the cast members. Previously, in a statement, TLC admitted the series was inauthentic because, rather than leaving the Amish for the “first time” as initially publicised, “the members have all chosen to leave before […]

As mentioned earlier, this week’s Star Magazine has some more details about Breaking Amish’s Jeremiah Raber from before and during the filming of the show. Raber, 32, has made several false claims on the show. Including that he cannot drive and required driving lessons even when he’s owned at least two cars and Star has photos […]

It’s taken four episodes in as many weeks for the tabloids to call Breaking Amish fake, even though it’s been well-established that nothing except their religious backgrounds and names are real. TLC even admitted the show’s fake. The cast’s whole back stories, including kids, career hopes, social media, exposure to the “English” world, an arrest, […]

Breaking Amish isn’t even on its fourth episode and it has already been exposed as a complete sham. Many reality shows are contrived, produced, edited, staged, maybe literally scripted to varying degrees. However, it would appear the entire premise for this show is fraudulent. TLC’s original synopsis for this show claimed the cast were leaving […]

It’s become so apparent that everything on Breaking Amish is fake except the cast’s names that TLC issued a statement admitting “some of the claims are true… they will be addressed in upcoming episodes.” Some of the cast have kids together, some have kids with other people, at least one of the cast is married, […]

It has become so well established that Breaking Amish is fake that TLC issued a statement admitting “some of the claims are true… they will be addressed in upcoming episodes.” Which led to (what appeared to be) hasty edits made to episode three during which Jeremiah Raber, 32, got a tattoo and explained it would mean “shunning” for […]

It would appear that many of the cast members of TLC’s Breaking Amish are not who they purport to be. Moreover, it’s becoming clearer with each episode (being watched by around 3 million people at a time) that the show is staged drama rather than reality. One ex-Amish blogger has called out the show saying: “Over […]
