      When a 52 yr old pursues a 22 yr old..it shows his emotional maturity level. Speaks volumes, when u want to date someone your kid's age. I am 51 years old & would not ever want to hang out with a 22 yr old. Seriously😝

      Now that I think about it, if you’re 20, and your parents are 50, I can see why you’d go with people that age if you get along with your parents and not people your own age.
      People always say,” what could you possibly have in common with a 20 year old?” I bet more than they think considering they may have grown up with someone that age.

      Keep in mind he was fine with her being 24 butt 22 was too low but not low enough for him to be the adult and walk away. I don't blame her for the airbnb, I wouldn't feel safe if a old man I don't know was up in my home, no thank you!

Khloe Kardashian needs to hire Miss Mahogany, that would definitely up her photoshop game.

      I don't believe anything this guy says. NOT A WORD!

      He’s one of those manipulate, sociopathic types that thinks he’s so smart he can talk his way out of anything and believe his own lies.
      He’s an actor for sure. He’s just on damage control because his ego got in the way of being accused of being a creepy old man preying on a young girl and admitted to being an actor. If he admitted it was fake, then he gets fired from TLC and no more storyline for Ben.
      So he’s talking here to try to get around the fact he blew their story by admitting they were actors and he really isn’t a pervert.

    Melicia thanks for asking my question to Ben. I think Ben is looking for ways to justify both her lies and also his own choices. By trying to find justifications and walk a fine line about the age gap it indicates that he is aware that the relationship is questionable. Thanks again. 💕

    I hate the way he was touching her back, puke inducing, what a creepy deluded old man.

    "The pictures were doctored a little bit." She looked like a whole other person. Did she use a shape shifting app?

    He dated a 27 year old didnt get married because she didn't get along with his kids......so why would a 22 year old like your kids ans why would they except her???? His poor ex wife talk about a mid life crisis lol......i am assuming that mahogany which im sure is not her real name and Ben are not together anymore ....im hoping!!
