Is the stuff on My Strange Addiction real?
TLC is known for its heavy editing on the reality shows on its catalog, and My Strange Addiction proves this fact to be true. Although some of the issues expressed on the shows are sometimes real, many fans have noticed the excessive editing and plenty of camerawork.
Not only are some of the people featured on "My Strange Addiction" reportedly duped into believing the show is about something else entirely, Lauren also revealed in her Reddit AMA that the whole thing was scripted. That's right, things weren't just tweaked in editing, they were scripted from start to finish.
"We're not celebrities; we don't get paid to be on TV," noted Trina Elliott, 37, who said TLC did not pay them for participation in the show. "I don't feel bad about telling the world I did this. I just hope the show doesn't make us look like freaks."
