In a new teaser for Breaking Amish, there are some halfhearted attempts to explain away the preexisting relationships of some of the cast members.

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, […]
