If it happens that a hole appears on your favorite piece of clothing, there’s no need to worry. You don’t have to be a skilled seamstress to repair these tiny holes! The method described below is particularly suitable for small holes as it prevents the need for visible stitches. With a bit of practice, you can mend these annoying pinpricks in a matter of minutes.
The main reason for these holes are moths, but they aren’t the sole culprits.
Regular wear and tear, as well as snags from daily items and accessories, can also lead to these frustrating holes. Here are some common causes:
Zippers
Bras
Belts
Your washing machine
Chlorine bleach
Snags on rough surfaces
How can we prevent these holes from appearing on our clothing?
If you spot holes at the bottom of your shirts, it might be due to belt buckles rubbing against the fabric. To prevent this, consider forgoing the belt altogether, regularly adjust its position, or use sandpaper to smooth any rough edges.
If you tuck your shirts into jeans, the holes could be caused by the zipper. Zippers can also damage clothing in the washing machine. To prevent this, ensure to zip up your jeans, hoodies, and any other garments before washing them. It’s also wise to close bras before washing to prevent metal clasps from snagging onto other clothing. Alternatively, you can use a washing bag to keep bras separate, especially if they tend to unclasp during washing.
Overloading the washing machine can help prevent holes from happening. Remember to turn items with beads, buttons, or other decorations inside out before washing. Additionally, keep delicate materials like cotton and silk separate from sturdier pieces like sheets and towels. For delicate items, opt for a low spin cycle.
The overuse of chlorine bleach can also result in holes in clothing. Consider utilizing environmentally friendly alternatives such as vinegar, citric acid, or baking soda.
While moths are known for causing holes, especially in materials such as wool, silk, and leather, they can also damage other fabrics. To repel moths, consider placing dried lavender in mesh bags or using essential oils like mint. In case of a severe infestation, wash your clothes in warm water and clean your closet with vinegar.
Lastly, be mindful of rough surfaces such as bricks, nails, wood, and stone. Bumping or rubbing against these surfaces can lead to snags and holes.
To repair clothes’ holes without sewing, try this method.
All you’ll need is:
Clothes with holes measuring 5 mm or less
An iron
Fusible bonding web
A large piece of wax paper
The first step is to turn the damaged piece of clothing upside down with the hole facing outwards when you place it on an ironing board.
Then, cut a slightly larger piece of fusible bonding web than the hole itself.
Push both sides of the hole together and place the fusible bonding web over the hole. Next, place the wax paper over the same spot, set your iron to the “wool” setting and iron over the wax paper.
Check if the hole disappeared. If not, do the ironing part two or three more times. This way, your damaged clothes will look as new.

Upon returning home from work one day, a woman was shocked to see the nanny getting out of the shower. After confronting her, she said that she needed to take a shower because one of the kids spilled the milk on her.
Since this wasn’t an usual situation, the woman demanded a further explanation. The nanny said the kids were napping so she thought taking a shower wouldn’t be a problem since they weren’t really left unattended.
“I still don’t think it’s appropriate for you to shower in my home though,” the woman replied in frustration. The 23-year-old nanny started reassuring her that she did it because she didn’t think it was a big of a deal.
As the two were going back and forth on the matter, the woman’s husband suddenly appeared in the living room. This only made things more twisted as at the time he was supposed to be at work.

The husband sided with the nanny, telling his wife she shouldn’t have been angry over a shower.
The woman was confused. She couldn’t help but think that her husband could be having an affair with the woman who was paid to babysit their children.
Filled with doubts, the woman decided to take out the good old nanny cam she used when the children were still babies. She installed it in the living room and waited to see if something odd was taking place behind her back.
The following day, she was looking at the cam when she spotted her husband entering the house. She saw him leaving in the morning. He was supposed to be at work, so why was he home at that time.
Unaware of what was going on, the woman told her boss she wasn’t feeling fine and asked if she could call the day off.

In a hurry, she headed home and saw her husband cooking lunch in the kitchen.
“Why are you home so early?” he asked. She told him they let her go home early because of a power outage that brought the systems down. He seemed to accept her story before saying, “Honey, I have to tell you something,” his voice heavy with guilt.
The confession that followed was completely unexpected. He revealed that he had been let go from his job a week ago due to downsizing. He confessed that he had been too afraid to tell his wife the truth and had chosen to keep it from her, pretending to go to work instead. In reality, he had been spending his days at home, searching for new job opportunities online and helping with the children.
He then said, “Yesterday indeed our daughter spilled milk on our nanny so I told her to go and wash everything while I was there to take care of the kids who were napping.”

Nadia had long believed that her husband’s mother harbored resentment toward her, but a shocking letter from her finally revealed the truth. What could have escalated into a bitter confrontation ultimately led to healing and reconciliation.
On the night of their fifth wedding anniversary, Nadia and her husband Jim decided to have a night out while Jim’s mother, Cynthia, took care of their daughter.
There was this need of reconnecting that both Nadia and Jim felt, and the night out, which was followed by a movie helped them deepen their relationship. What’s most, Nadia felt like she had fallen even more deeply in love with him that night!

Once home, the couple was all smiles, but Nadia couldn’t help but notice that her MIL seemed off, not her usual self. It was though the affectionate behavior between her and Jim angered Cynthia.
“Maybe I am just imagining it,” Nadia thought to herself. However, although her relationship with MIL was always a civil one, Nadia felt tension whenever she was in the presence of her hubby’s mom.
The following day while Jim was working something around the house, Nadia and her daughter, Lily, watched Scooby-Doo together.
All of a sudden, the girl burst into laughter saying, “Grandma is just like Scooby-Doo!”
Intrigued, Nadia asked her, “Why do you say that, sweetie?”
Lily’s answer was unexpected. “She’s been sneaking around just like Scooby-Doo, looking for clues in the house!” she said.

Nadia smiled, assuming Lily and her grandma were playing a game the previous night. “Oh, did you play hide and seek with grandma?” she asked. But Lily shook her head. “No, she was sneaking around and left you a surprise in your nightstand. Come, I’ll show you!”
Filled with anticipation, Nadia followed Lilly to the bedroom expecting a gift for their anniversary. Feeling a rush of excitement Nadia opened the nightstand, and that’s when her heart sank…
Instead of a gift, there was a letter. As she began to read it, a wave of dread washed over Nadia. It was from Cynthia, but it wasn’t a heartfelt message or a playful gesture. Each word seemed carefully chosen, weaving together a dark narrative. Here’s what it said:
Dear Nadia,
I know this may come as a shock, and perhaps this letter will strike you as coming entirely out of the blue. But it’s time for the unsaid to be spoken, for the shadows to be illuminated. I’ve watched, silently, hoping for a change, but silence breeds only silence, and it’s time for words.

Your union with my son has veered off the path I envisioned, not just for him but for our entire lineage. My concerns are not trivial; they are the foundation of our future. Below are the truths I’ve observed, wrapped in love but edged with concern. Understand, this is not an indictment but a bridge I hope we can build together.
The life you lead, the choices you make, they ripple through our family’s pond. Your relentless pursuit of a career, admirable yet divisive, strains the bonds of family. Independence is a virtue, but within a marriage, it must be tempered with unity and sacrifice.
Consider these words not as a siege, but as a hand extended in the dark, seeking understanding and harmony. Let us confront these challenges together, for in unity, we find strength, and in understanding, a way forward.
With hope for the future,
Cynthia.

Surprised by Cynthia’s words, Nadia’s initial thought was to tell Jim about his mom’s letter. However, logic told her that things could easily spiral out of control, potentially deepening the wedge between Cynthia and her even further.
At one point, Nadia thought of writing a letter to her MIL, writing that what happens inside her home is none of Cynthia’s business, but that would make things worse. At the end of the day, Cynthia was her husband’s mom and her daughter’s grandmother, and she respected her because of that.
A few days passed by and Nadia called MIL on the phone, telling her she wanted to talk to her about Lily because she didn’t want to upset her and thought a little lie would do the trick. Cynthia agreed.
She didn’t tell her husband that she would be meeting his mom. Instead, she said she would be running some errands and asked from him to take care of Lily for a couple of hours.

The conversation that followed was an emotional one, marked by tears and profound revelations. It was a confrontation that stripped away layers of pretense, exposing hidden fears and unspoken truths. The two delved deep into their emotions, unraveling the tangled web of misunderstandings and grievances that had brought them to that point. Hours passed as the two navigated through the labyrinth of their feelings, forging a path toward understanding and reconciliation.
“Working is important to me, Cynthia,” Nadia explained. “I understand that during your time, women stayed at home and looked after the children, but things aren’t the same.”
Ever since Cynthia’s husband passed away, and after Nadia and Jim married, she felt lonely. Jim being her only child, she was deeply attached to him and now she felt he wasn’t spending enough time with her.
Freepik
In the end, though they bore scars from the ordeal, the two women emerged stronger and made a solemn promise to forge a new path build on mutual respect and open communication. It was a difficult lesson to learn, but one that ultimately drew them closer together.
Nadia then talked to Jim and they both agreed to cut down on work so they could spend more time with Lily and Cynthia.

After four miscarriages and plenty of plain to overcome, Paige and her husband, Victor, finally welcomed a child in their life.
The two were a great couple who knew what worked for them and what didn’t. After every miscarriage, Victor assured Paige that everything would be all right eventually, and that if they couldn’t have a baby of their own, they could always consider other options. His words were always comforting.
When baby Mason was welcomed into the world, it felt like all those shattered dreams had finally pieced themselves together. He became the center of his parents’ lives and they put him above everything else, including their careers.
Being a chief executive with a clothing brand, Paige needed to travel a lot because she was involved in every step of the product designs.
This didn’t bother her much because she knew Victor was a wonderful father who took great care of their child whenever she was away from home.
Pexels
When Mason turned four, Paige knew he was about to enter pre-school soon so she decided to limit her work trips in order to be able to spend more time with him.
One time, Paige was away from home for three days, and once her work was done, she was eager to get home to her family and give her son a hug. Little did she know that this time would be different.
As she entered, the house was strangely quiet, with faint shuffling noises coming from upstairs.
Victor’s voice was hushed but urgent — the same urgency that Mason associated with misbehavior and bedtime.
“Buddy, you’ve got to promise me one thing, okay?” Victor said.
“Okay,” Mason muttered innocently. “What is it?”
“You’ve got to promise me that you won’t tell Mom what you saw.”
“But I don’t like secrets,” Mason said. “Why can’t I tell Mommy?”
Pexels
Victor let out a deep sigh — its echo seemed to ripple through the house, as if carried by the air.
“It’s not a secret, Mason,” he said. “But if we tell Mommy, it’s going to make her sad. Do you want Mommy to be sad, buddy?”
“No, I don’t,” Mason answered.
At that moment, pretending she didn’t hear a thing, Paige yelled, “Mason! Victor! Mom’s home!”
“What’s going on?” she asked, as Mason leaped into her arms.
“Nothing, honey,” Victor said, winking. “Just a boys’ chat. Welcome home.”
Pexels
Since Victor was the perfect husband and father, Paige tried to convince herself that the conversation she overheard was truly nothing important. She thought to herself that Victor probably gave Mason too many sweets or let him eat junk food, and that’s what they tried to hide from her.
However, letting it go seemed harder that she thought.
The week that followed and the trip she had to take were both a blessing and a curse for Paige. As much as she loved her job, the thought of leaving Mason saddened her profoundly. She only found solace in the photos Victor sent her, and one of those photos brought more questions than answers.
In one of the photos showing Mason playing with his toys, Paige spotted blue shows she had never seen before. They weren’t hers, yet they were there in her living room.
Paige decided to scroll through each of the photos Victor has ever sent her, and she did find more evidence of someone being in their home while she was away. Was it a nanny he hired to take care of their son? If yes, she had a very expensive taste.
Pexels
This time, Paige decided to return home without telling Victor. She wanted to surprise him.
Once home from her trip, she entered straight to Mason’s room who had just woken up and was rubbing his eyes.
“Dad’s not downstairs?” she asked, as she could hear noises coming from the bedroom. “Mommy, don’t go in there. You’ll be sad,” Mason warned her.
In the bedroom, Victor was in bed with another woman. “Paige!” he exclaimed, sitting up in bed. “It’s not what you think!”
“Do I look that stupid?”
The woman took her clothes and entered the bathroom, locking the door behind her.
Pexels
The ensuing confrontation was a whirlwind of tears, accusations, and heartbreak. Victor attempted to deny everything, relying on his charm. Paige knew that if she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes, she might have fallen for his lies.
“I have nothing else to say to you,” Paige said.
“What did you expect, Paige?” Victor asked.
The woman fled the house and Paige was left to confront the man she no longer knew.
“You’re never here,” he lashed out. “You’re never around. And when you’re home, you spend all your time on Mason or working. What about me?”
He tried to portray himself as a victim. “I need human contact, too,” he said. “And I don’t know what you get up to when you’re flying all over the country. I bet you’ve got stories, too.”
“No, Victor,” she said. “I’m not you. My vows meant something to me.”

Eventually, Paige asked Victor to move out and filed for divorce. Reflecting on that conversation between him and Mason that she had overheard, Paige realized the signs were always there, but she tried to ignore them because she only saw the good in her soon to be ex-husband.

Having a supportive and loving mother-in-law can be a blessing and can greatly enrich one’s family life. When Larissa got married to Toby, her mother-in-law welcomed her into the family with open arms and treated her like her own daughter. With her parents living far, Larissa felt like she had found a true mother in Julia.
“She’s loved you since the beginning, Larissa,” her husband told her.
Pexels
Julia, being the perfect mother, would visit her son and daughter-in-law often. She helped around the house, prepared lunch and dinner, and even did the laundry. She was of great help to both Toby and Larissa and they wanted her there.
Sharing her story, Larissa said that Julia filled the role of a mother — a mother in close proximity anyway.
After three years of marriage, both Toby and Larissa believed it was the time they try become parents. However, that didn’t come to them as easily as they anticipated.
Months passed by, and Larissa failed to get pregnant each time. She even started feeling bad about that, but neither she nor her husband ever lost hope.
Pexels
During those times of uncertainty, Julia was there to provide comfort to Larissa. She took her to meet with a wellness coach, she took her for fertility massages, and then, she even bought the couple a brand new mattress.
“Maybe your body is just not rested enough,” Larissa’s mother-in-law said. “Maybe you just need to give your body the best chance possible at this.”
“Do you think that it was a bit unnecessary?” Larissa asked her husband as they got into bed that night, testing out their new mattress.
“Normally, I would have said yes,” Toby admitted. “But maybe there’s something to what Mom said. Our mattress was horrible before. Maybe it will make a difference.”
And it did. Just a month later, Larissa learned she was pregnant. She was so overjoyed that she feared to share the news with her husband and the rest of her family until she visited multiple doctors who confirmed she was indeed carrying a baby.
Pexels
And then, before they knew it, their daughter, Maddie, was born.
With a baby in the house, Larissa’s mother-in-law offered to help, just as she did before, and Larissa was thankful she had someone like Julia in her life who took great care of her baby girl.
Julia wasn’t only the MIL everyone wished for, but she was also the perfect grandmother.
However, it was like that until she made a discovery that left Larissa wondering if she could trust her mother-in-law ever again.
One night, as Maddie was sleeping in her parents’ bed, she urinated on it so Larissa decided to open the cover of the mattress and clean it. Her husband offered to help her, but just as he opened the cover, his face turned red. Larissa could feel something was off.
“Oh, honey,” he said looking straight into Larissa’s eyes. “We cannot use this anymore.”
Pexels
“What do you mean?” she asked, setting Maddie down. “Did she get it into the mattress?”
Looking nervous, Toby picked up the mattress so that it stood on its side. “No, it’s not that,” he uttered.
“What are you talking about? It’s just a mattress, we’ll clean it–” Larissa said.
“No, Larissa,” he interrupted, his voice rising in panic. “It’s not just a mattress.”
Sleep-deprived and feeling a bit irritated with her husband she once again asked, “What?”
“Look what I found,” Toby said as he handed her a little silk bag filled with various herbs.
Unspash
“What is this? Where did you find it?” Larissa was eager to learn.
“It was pinned to the mattress. It was under the mattress protector, so I think we just didn’t notice it before.”
“Fine, but what is it for?” she asked, confused and irritable.
“It’s fertility herbs, it has to be!” Toby exclaimed.
At that point, Larissa had no idea what her husband was talking about.
“Listen, I don’t know if this is true or not, but I do know that my mother believes in old wives’ tales. What if this is one of those tales?”
Pexels
“She would never do that,” Larissa screamed. “No way!”
“Then where else did it come from?” Toby asked flatly.
That night, the family slept on the couch. Looking at Maddie, Larissa recalled the time they struggled to conceive and how desperate both she and Toby were. But now they had their baby girl, and she was perfect. She was theirs in every sense of the word, but those herbs having anything to do with Maddie coming into this world was a thought that bothered Larissa because of unknown and inexplicable reasons.
Pexels
As Larissa was doing her best to quiet her mind and fall asleep, she was disturbed by the smell of gas. When she took a look from the window, she saw Toby setting the mattress on fire.
The fire flickered with an intensity that mirrored the inner turmoil Larissa was experiencing. She grappled with trying to comprehend Julia’s intentions. Given her usual closeness to her, Larissa found it puzzling why she would keep that information from her.
If she was open about the herbs, then maybe Larissa wouldn’t feel the paranoia and fear that had settled in her body upon her husband’s discovery.
Anything bordering the supernatural was beyond Toby’s comfort zone. He and Larissa stood there in silence, both wondering what was going on in their home without their knowledge.
Pexels
In the morning, Julia appeared at Larissa’s door. She was as energetic and as happy as always.
Looking at her, Toby felt the need to confront her. “Mom, why didn’t you tell us about the mattress? About the herbs?” he asked with a steady voice.
At that moment, her face crumpled and her usual vibrancy was replaced by a somber guilt.
“I just wanted to help. I knew that you were having trouble conceiving, and I thought that if it worked, you wouldn’t care how. I never meant to hurt either of you. Especially not my granddaughter,” she tried to explain her action.
Pexels
“What else did you do? What’s in the bag? Other than the herbs?” Toby’s questions flew hard and fast around the room.
“Nothing!” Julia exclaimed. “It’s just dried herbs. I can give you a list of them,” she said. “I’ll take you both to the store where I got them from. It’s a sweet little apothecary next to my dentist. It’s a store all about natural wellness.”
“You could have just told us,” Larissa said. “How we can trust anything you do now? How do we know if our baby is a miracle baby or just an outcome of your herbs?”
“Does that matter?” she asked, her eyes brimming with tears. “Maddie is here and she’s ours.”
Larissa couldn’t argue with that, Maddie was there, she was the baby she longed for. But she was also angry at Julia for not being honest.
“I’m sorry,” Julia whispered. “I really am.”
“We need to start over, Mom,” Toby said. “If you plan on doing anything like this again, you have to tell us first. We need to know what’s going on in our own home.”
The two decided to forgive Julia because they knew deep down she loved them and she did what she did for them.
Larissa was still confused. She was somewhat grateful to her mother-in-law, but she just couldn’t believe that sleeping on a bunch of herbs could help her get pregnant.

A group of dads gained global recognition after they decided to surprise their kids with a dance routine during a recital. Today, these famous dads are stars on TikTok and are recognized by the name The Outta Puff Daddys.
The dads first met while taking their kids to dance classes. Ever since, they became sort of friends and started creating fun dance routines. Their initial idea was to perform a single dance routine at a recital but the feedback from the crowd was so positive they decided to continue performing.
Speaking of their first dance routine, the group’s leader, Paul “Jukebox” Jukes, said they “literally took the roof off.”
“The noise was phenomenal and of course, the kids in the audience were like, ‘Hang on a second, that’s your dad,’” he shared with Good News Network in 2023.
Today, the number of members grew to around 50. These dads, whose age ranges from 40 to 60, use their dancing as a way of “breaking stereotypes” about mental health.
They not only gathered plenty of followers on the social media but took their shows on the road.
“Our bond provides a real lifeline for our own mental wellness,” their website states. “We break through all stereotypes surrounding traditional masculinity, encouraging others to talk openly about their mental health.”
Their message of “joy and positivity” is spread wherever they perform and during their journey, they encourage their fans to adopt healthier approaches to mental health.
When going through depression, having a support system can make a significant difference in overcoming the problem, and in The Outta Puff Daddys, Paul found exactly that.
“I believe everyone should be constantly underpinning and supporting their mental health— as we all do with our physical health,” Paul said. “So that when those moments arise, we immediately have strategies in place,” he added.
We love watching these daddies’ dance moves, do you?

In a twist of events, a man was left deeply hurt by his stepdaughter’s action after he covered all the expenses for her wedding. Unable to cope with the injustice he believed was done to him, he decided to seize the moment with a surprising toast.
Back in 2013, this man took to Reddit’s “Off My Chest” forum to recount the story that had been troubling him as his stepdaughter’s wedding day drew near. With a tone of frustration and disappointment, he shared his sentiments about the situation.
He started by noting that his stepdaughter’s wedding was set for August 3, emphasizing how the preparations had dominated both her and her mother’s lives for the past six months. “I say her mother because we aren’t married, though we’ve lived together for 10 years,” he clarified.
Over the course of ten years, he covered the expenses for his stepdaughter’s college tuition which amounted to around $40,000 although she attended a state college. In order to facilitate her commute to and from school after her high school graduation, he purchased a car for her. But he did all that because he wanted to. In return, he only hoped he would receive the respect he believed he deserved. Sadly, his stepdaughter didn’t treat him as near as respectfully as she treated her biological father who would only appear in her life every now and then.
As the wedding day approached, the anonymous stepfather’s frustration grew when he learned that the people on the list of friends he wanted present on his stepdaughter’s wedding day didn’t receive actual invitations. Namely, the venue had a strict capacity of 250 people, and since he was paying for everything, he wanted those 20 people to be there during the wedding. His stepdaughter assured him it was fine. “I gave them a list of 20 people that I wanted invited, you know, since I was paying for everything. They told me that was no problem and they’d take care of it. So I let these people know they’d be getting an invite and they should save the date,” he explained.
However, during a chance encounter at the golf course with one of those friends, the man learned they only received merely an announcement card devoid of the stepdad’s name featuring the names of the bride’s biological father and mother but conspicuously omitted him.
This triggered a heated argument between him and his partner. He was dismayed to learn that none of the 20 people he had suggested were included in the final guest list due to limitations on space. His girlfriend’s poor explanation that “250 people is very tight” didn’t help calm his anger. But the damage was done, and he felt there was nothing he could do.
The tension heightened when, during a Sunday dinner with the future in-laws, the stepdaughter unexpectedly revealed a surprise guest: her “Real Dad.”
She was overjoyed to share this news with the rest of the family who seemed to be as excited as she was, commenting “Oh how great” and “How wonderful.” The bride-to-be wanted everyone to know that it would be her real that who would walk her down the aisle.
At that moment, the man felt the urge to speak up. Raising a glass, he acknowledged his decade-long presence within the family.
To the surprise of everyone in the room, he said, “As I have been replaced as host, both on the invitations and in the ceremony, I am resigning my financial duties as host to my successor, Real Dad. So cheers to the happy couple and the path they have chosen.” He then congratulated to the couple on their wedding and the path they had chosen.
His speech resonated deeply, exposing the pain and frustration he had harbored. It was a raw and unapologetic expression of his emotions, challenging the roles he had been assigned.
Following a heated argument with his girlfriend, who accused him of selfishness, he spent the night in his home office.
The following day, as he went through his stepdaughter’s wedding planner, he learned that the father-daughter dance was catered to the real dad’s taste, leaving him feeling like they never truly cared or mattered.
After some time, he asked his girlfriend and his stepdaughter to move out.
In an update, he wrote that his girlfriend and her daughter moved out and went to live with the groom. He then expressed appreciation for the overwhelming support received from the Reddit community.
As of his relationship with his girlfriend, he said that she burned the bridges when she tried to write herself a check from their joint account shortly after the incident.
Despite everything, he said he felt a sense of closure and thanked everyone who stood by his side during the tough period.

Maryanne Trump Barry, the older sister of former President Donald Trump and a former federal judge, died aged 86 in November 2023.
As per ABC News, Barry’s body was found in her Fifth Avenue apartment at about 4 a.m.
Until her retirement in 2019, Barry was a senior judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit appointed to the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey by then-President Ronald Reagan in 1983 and was then appointed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit in 1999 by then-President Bill Clinton.
Barry used to spoke of her father’s wealth and said during many occasions that she sort of “stepped down” because she didn’t want to be Donald’s rival in running the business. “I knew better even as a child than to even attempt to compete with Donald,” she told New York Mag. “I wouldn’t have been able to win. He was building models when he was very young. Huge buildings.”
In the book The Trumps: Three Generations That Built an Empire, she wrote: “There’s no question Donald helped me get on the bench. I was good, but not that good.”
However, despite the support the siblings had provided for one another throughout the years, The Washington Post published secretly recorded audios in which Barry could be heard describing Donald Trump as a “cruel” man with “no principles.”
“All he wants to do is appeal to his base,” Maryanne tells her niece Mary Trump in one of the recordings. “He has no principles. None. None. And his base, I mean my God, if you were a religious person, you want to help people. Not do this.”
“His g——- tweet and lying, oh my God,” the sister added. “I’m talking too freely, but you know. The change of stories. The lack of preparation. The lying. Holy s—.”
“He got into University of Pennsylvania because he had somebody take the exams,” Maryanne Trump Barry said in the recording. “SATs or whatever. That’s what I believe.”
At the time, the White House rejected these allegations.
Barry was married to the late John Barry, a trial and appellate lawyer.
At the time of her death it was determined that there were no signs of trauma or foul play. According to sources, emergency crews responded to a call of a person in cardiac arrest.
May she rest in peace.
