    Imagine having two jobs that are posting for a low grade food blog online and editing a website that needs minimal maintenance. Dating 3 eaters at once and then choosing an option that provides money for life is shallow and shameful. What you went through with children is harsh. Not all of us post our tragedies and look for constant approval and attention. Traveling and living the lifestyle you do is not earned. This was most likely a relationship of benefit. Achieving degrees while working on your favorite hobby and not working a full time job is a privilege very few have. Imagine being triggered. Stop being against people with lots of money who actually had to earn it or not live in their moms property.

    Clearly the post made by @6:30am was directed at Cherish Brown, given her recent Facebook post. She’s a grown woman and can post what she wants on social media. I personally would not have made such a post revealing my entire life’s struggles, trials, tribulations, and misfortunes for the masses of Facebook to see. It probably doesn’t help that she is being very transparent and “preachy” regarding her political views.

    In my mind, it is a grave mistake to assume that you have had a “tougher life” than everybody else. Everyone has their struggles. Don’t ever think that there’s not someone else out there that has had to endure more than you. Some people quietly deal with their life challenges rather than reveal them to others in order to garner sympathy/support.

    Well, her big time jobs aren’t jobs at all. She brags in her rants about a Masters degree she doesn’t use. So, she’s freeloading off of some income source if it’s not her “husband” who also feels like he should post in public to back up her life story of trials and tribulations. Freeloading is freeloading. It appears she’s not generating this income level from her “jobs” and her “hard work”. Maybe she should apply to be a cop since that’s where her “education” is directed.

    The way she posts about what she does makes everyone else feel less about their life most likely. She brags about where she goes. She brags about what she does. Hey, I went here. I went here. I did this. She’s living a life that nobody in reality could ever afford. When you marry for money instead of love, it becomes your reality.

    Once again all hate here all the time. Why do comp eaters rip each other apart? This is why there will be no advancement. The hate that spewed here is over the top. Anytime comments are permitted without any sign in is like graffiti on a fence. This site allows hate to others and a need for a comment format that is professional. Please OJ. Do this for the future of comp eating

    Hey, everyone – Cherish, here! ???? Sorry that me living my life and actually being happy seems to bother you so much. You obviously don’t know me personally, otherwise you would know that I actually do have a real job. That I go to. Every day. In real life! ???? I know – shocking. Luckily for me, my employers are amazing and work with my schedule, which enables me to continue to travel a couple times a month! So since you’ve proven that you actually know nothing about my personal life, that just means your opinions aren’t really valid in the grand scheme. Have a good one!

    I’m the same person the commented at 2:43. I noticed Cherish, in all of her posts, did not address where she actually gets all the money to travel, eat, do BJJ, etc. from. She was perfectly fine telling us every other aspect of her life (at least the ones that are hardships in her mind), but did not answer the question that people are wondering…How DO YOU AFFORD IT ALL??? Nobody knows, but it doesn’t seem like you or your hubby work full time jobs, at least not the traditional 9-5’s. It’s not a big deal if you are basically “lucky” to have stumbled on a jackpot, but by the same token, people are going to get pissed when you post all your travels, meals out at restaurants, concerts, etc. on social media and act like “anybody could do the same thing if they wanted”. So if you don’t mind, enlighten us all: How do you fund everything you do?

    There ain’t much of a future in competitive eating.
    Carmen, Matt, & Darron have better lives to live, and the average age of the several elites is now 40+. I like competitive eating, but it is what it is.
    The masses want “WOW” nowadays, and there isn’t a whole lot of that out there. (made even worse by the dreaded MLE contract)

    Hey Cherish! I see you didn’t respond to this at all to these questions!? So, you could have easily stated “my job” which you haven’t told us what that is yet. My guess is that the job can in no way support your spending. Not even close.

    To 1:23am / Webb’s fanboy: what you are seeing on Esper’s shirt is liquid/water, not food debris. You don’t get pointed MLB for having a dry shirt at the end of a contest. In fact, if your shirt is dry, you’re spending too much time trying to be neat with your liquids and could have performed better. All eaters know this as a fact.

    James does eat very clean. He just complains passive aggressively in his videos when the deduction hurts him. Esper usually is covered in a lot of liquid. Doesn’t get a lot of food around him though.

    Cherish’s response on here and her socials when asked directly “What is your job / what do you do for a living?” reminds me of a famous Ben Netanyahu speech:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfNfQ4b3Wr0 (3:22 mark in the video)

    “And the response from **Cherish**— the response from nearly every one of **Cherish’s posts**— has been absolutely nothing. Utter silence. Deafening silence.”

    Not that anyone wants my opinion BUT – I think it’s absolutely appalling that you all feel it’s your God given right to comment ANONYMOUSLY on someone else’s life.

    How Cherish affords her lifestyle has absolutely NOTHING to do with any of you and as 1:15pm said, if your jealously is triggering you SO BADLY stop following her?

    AND – if I had to guess – this is anonymous vendetta is headed by a bunch of insecure men who are purely jealous of their limited capacity to afford, provide or achieve a similar lifestyle to Cherish ! You do you girl. Pay the trolls no mind.

    Glad to know that you’re a man-hater though, since you assume it’s a “bunch of insecure men” that are commenting.

    “Afford, provide, or achieve” is an interesting choice of words. I notice you don’t write: “earn a respectable loving through hard work”

    I hear crickets! I guess it confirms the silver spoon? The thing is she needs to STFU with her flaunting her silver spoon as people don’t appreciate it and frankly who does that who has an ounce of intelligence given the struggle a lot of people are having right now to even put food on the table.

    While I disagree with Kate’s previous comment, she most definitely does not live the same life as cherish. She works as James’ social media manager, and pretty much as his “agent” To coordinate all of his challenges and appearances. That is close to a full-time job I imagine. I’m sure she does a lot more too, like coordinate with the video editors for all of his YouTube vids and other social media, and arranging his travel. Even though Kate might not have a typical 9 to 5 job, she most definitely does work a lot.

    I believe James and Kate have a daughter too, that she cares for a while James is traveling in the US. Even though you may argue, that James is the talent that makes all of the money, Undoubtedly makes it much easier for him to do so, and also helps to increase his revenue stream. Cherish, meanwhile, just seems to have some large pot of gold somewhere that can be reached into without any “worry” that it might run out sometime soon.

    Once again, cherish picked her safe option. When she started being a low tier eater she dated others behind the backs of tentative suitors . No job she could do would pay what type of life she’s living.

    Enough with the Cherish nonsense. Let’s focus on helping this anonymous person with figuring out better income sources for himself or herself. If you are on social media, do you only post vertical content? If so, that is your problem there. If not on social media, are you one of the people who thinks that the skill of eating a lot, fast, deserves views on its own? Share some information with us so that we can help you, rather than having to waste our time reading your nonsense. Thanks and have a great day.

    Randy, why are you so quick to call an end to the Cherish “bashing”, but you don’t say a peep about the Jack Legath bashing? does it have anything to do with how cocky he is / his “secret” ability to eat so much but gain no weight?

    Also, why didn’t Katina chime in to come to Cherish’s rescue? #GirlPower, right? Oh wait, that’s right, she had to work her ass off to get to where she is in life. (I’m confident she’d still be pretty successful if you two weren’t a couple.) to throwing shade, I’m genuinely curious what you’re thoughts are on this.
