Pioneer Woman bashing

When what you is successful, it attracts envy and criticism. So what is The Pioneer Woman criticized for? This post summarizes it all for you:


  • Because she is, and was, rich, and never made a clear statement on her wealth.
She never try to hide it... Just from the size of her kitchen, the design clothes she clears from her closet, or the redecoration of the "guest house", you could kind of guess what was going on?
  • Because she has nannies and assistants
Hey, do you think you can create a blogging empire just in between of your homeschooling sessions, laundry loads and kitchen duties?



  • Because of the ethics of making money by posting pictures of children

It’s a baby. A picture of a father with a baby from her book tour.
Granted, it’s an adorable baby. Cute. Chubby. But, it’s a baby.
Within hours it garnered her a couple grand in advertising and nearly 200 comments.
For a picture of a baby.

  • Because of the amount of butter of her recipes

The Pioneer Woman Cooks is not a site for anyone trying to lose weight. I try to stay away but I am drawn back daily by her tantalizing, butter laden, recipes.

In Facebook, Ree Drummond is the Devil (Peanut Butter Pie is Sin)

But... wait! Nobody is forcing you to make her recipes, right?


  • Because of the unreal perfection of her life
We guess that's why we'd all give an arm to have it. Or wouldn't you?

Robert Harling to write The Pioneer Woman

We finally know who is going to write the cinematographic screenplay for Black Heels to Tractor Wheels.

This new detail completes what we already knew from the beginning about the main actress.

Besides, we also know that The Pioneer Woman: Black Heels to Tractor Wheels--A Love Story
will be available for sale as a book in February. It can be preordered now!

Controversy: The PW signs for Blogher

Read all about the controversy:


Is BlogHer in violation of it’s contracts with all the 2500 bloggers in it’s network as a result of a special contract with PW and the subsequent preferential treatment of her blogging buddies?



Some other complaints concern the use of headlines under BlogHer ads that promote other bloggers in the network. The claim was made that Pioneer Woman is choosing her own links, so that all of the bloggers pimped out on her site are her friends

Controversy: The PW, bullshit?

The giveaways worth thousands of dollars on her site amaze me and then I saw an article regarding the cost to advertise on her site. Holy uptown Batman! It’s estimated that Ree’s lil’ ole’ blog has earned her and her advertisers close to $3 million dollars last year, nearly a million for her alone. Sit on that for a moment. A million dollars. She lunches with a Senator, exhibits her photoshopped pics at galleries, has a nanny and housekeeper, recently flew all over the country staying in five star hotels for a book tour, and her husband’s family were already millionaires before she married him. This does not make her, in my opinion, a sweet little downhome everyday normal rancher’s wife just cooking up lunch for the hired hands.
