'Little People, Big World' Star Amy Roloff's Most Controversial Moments
Little People, Big World matriarch Amy Roloff is one of the most beloved moms on reality [...]
Social advertisements...
Roloff received quite a bit of backlash from fans over Instagram posts that showed the mother-of-four's focus was more on the business side of her brand instead of family. Obviously, that was not true. Sharing images of herself with subscription boxes for FabFitFun box, the TLC cast member provided fans with an offer code for a discount. But as she went on to share the contents of the box, fans were not impressed. Many expressed how tired they were of her paid product features on social media.
"UGH, yet another reality star advertising," Instagram user wrote. "Love to see the posts about your beautiful family but I dislike the advertisements." One Instagram user asked Roloff to "stop using Instagram to sell stuff," and asked for photographs of the kids, grandkids and boyfriend only.
That has not stopped Roloff though as she has gone on to share other offers, including one for HelloFresh.

Since Jeremy and Audrey Roloff tied the knot, fans have speculated that Roloff and her daughter-in-law do not get along. In fact, when Ember Jean was born, many fans and outlets like Radar Online and InTouch claimed there was a feud brewing between the two simply because Roloff did not share images of her newborn granddaughter.
But those rumors were put to rest though after her son Jeremy shared an Instagram Story in 2017 about his wedding anniversary. Fans learned that there was no "bad blood" between the mother and daughter-in-law, as he shared his mother had brought them a "simple" and "nice steak dinner" to celebrate their anniversary, since Ember Jean is still young and the pair did not have the chance to do a lot of cooking.

Roloff took to Facebook to share images of her grandchildren, captioning the set as to what she's most grateful for. But as she shared images of the two, social media users took it upon themselves to shame the proud grandmother.
"I'd rather see the face of the baby," one Facebook user wrote. "So many adults hog the pictures. We want to see the CUTE baby. We got full view of Amy, with profile of baby. Hmmm." Others reiterated the shaming with sarcasm, writing, "Y no pics of your granddaughter."
Of course, this is not the case as Roloff has been very transparent for her love of both her sons' children: Zach's two children, Jackson and Lilah; and Jeremy's two children, Ember and Bode. The doting grandma has taken to Instagram over the course of their young lives, sharing snapshots with the four.

Matt and Amy's divorce...
The charm of TLC's reality series about the Roloff family was how tight knit the unit was, but when Roloff and her husband Matt announced their separation in 2014, audiences were taken aback to learn the family was not all they were put up to be. However, while audiences were wondering what went wrong in the marriage, they soon learned that Matt had moved on very quickly with a former employee of the Roloff Farms.
To make matters even more awkward, it was reported Roloff and her boyfriend were shocked to learn her ex-husband had moved on with the Roloff Farms employee.
In an episode of the TLC reality series, audiences saw a very vulnerable Roloff, who revealed how hard the divorce was on her. "Going through a divorce, this is really going to be my first Thanksgiving without anybody here, like no family," Roloff lamented in an episode. "I'm torn as to what to do because I have never had to deal with this. It is a tough life moment for me right now."

Roloff is keeping an olive branch extended to ex-husband Matt as she prepares to marry fiancé Chris Marek. Nearly four years after the Little People, Big World couple's divorce was finalized, both Matt and Amy have managed to move on — her ex, Matt with his girlfriend Caryn Chandler — both of whom will be invited to the upcoming nuptials.
"It's not like they're not going to be invited," Amy told PEOPLE. Marek chimed in, "We kind of already have the impression that it's not something that they're interested in going to. They're welcomed if they'd like to come. We don't want anyone coming to our wedding out of obligation. The wedding is supposed to be about good friends and close family. And I like Matt. I get along with him fine and Caryn. But we're not friends that hang out. We don't do things together. They're welcomed if they'd like to come, but I don't want them to feel obligated."

When it comes to her move from Roloff Farms to a new home with fiancé, Marek, Roloff sees it as a "light at the end of a tunnel." The Little People, Big World star has shared how her move has been going after more than three decades in the home she previously shared with ex-husband Matt.
"A beautiful day.... I see light at the end of the tunnel as I move my things out of the farmhouse," Amy captioned a gallery of photos of her basement, packed with books and bins. "The basement area was tough. It reminded how much I miss and Love teaching. I can't take it all with me though, just because, I'll need to leave most of it behind and hopefully donate/give away to a good cause."
Roloff has been chronicling this move on Instagram for the last few months since announcing she had finally come to a decision about how to move forward as a partial owner of the farm with her ex.
