During a guest appearance on the Season 18 special, MAFS: Secrets Revealed, she expressed her feelings about people constantly posting their kids online.
She later doubled down on the sentiment, adding that “kids are not content.”
Several MAFS alums chimed in and agreed with Courtney, calling out the exploitation of kids for monetary gain.
However, Jamie has not responded to the backlash.

Season 12 alum Ryan Oubre said, “Sheeeesh – you choose violence on the internet this evening 😂. I agree with you, though, no doubt.”
Gina also chimed in with a few applause emojis, adding, “The most well-spoken friend!”
The always outspoken Virginia Coombs also agreed, writing a lengthy response.
“It’s very obvious when people are exploiting their children for monetary gain,” she said in part.
“Until your kids can consent to be online AND agree to you making money off of them, then it’s exploitation. Period.”
