A month ago, amidst accusations that its hit reality show Breaking Amish was bogus, TLC said the truth would be “addressed in upcoming episodes.” Today the network finalized those dates:. A two-part cast reunion special will air after the show’s season finale November 11 and on November 18. Breaking Amish’s Jeremiah, Kate, Abe, Rebecca, and Sabrina will sit down with Access Hollywood’s Michelle Beadle for the one-hour shows to “speak candidly about their experience in New York and address all of the swirling rumors and allegations,” TLC said in statement today. “They also disclose where their relationships currently stand with their family and friends, and tackle the rumors and questions about the authenticity of their Amish and Mennonite backgrounds.”
Recent revelations have raised questions about show’s premise that it is about the cast’s first experience away from their isolated communities. A 2011 photo posted online of Abe and Rebecca shows the duo not only living in the big city as a couple but seemingly with a child; since Breaking Amish debuted September 9, the show has made it seem that the two had never met. On the TLC website, it still says on Rebecca’s bio that the “world outside is completely new territory for her.” In recent episodes, Abe and Rebecca have started dating, with him asking her to marry him on this week’s show only to discover she had been married before. A big hit for TLC in its first season, Breaking Amish has not received a second-season renewal. Hot Snakes Media produces the series, but Peacock Prods is producing the reunion specials.

Next we’ll be seeing “Breaking Jews”, “Breaking Arabs”, “Breaking Germans”, etc.?
Amish is a way of life… german and arab is just an ethnicity… and jewish is a religion. you just sound dumb.
The funniest thing about this show is how despicable these people are. Amish/Mennonites or not they seem like really nasty human beings…especially Jeremiah.
yes! thats what i was thinking. They are all so rude, stupid and judgmental. You would think that they would be sweet holy people, but they are awful! Makes me so sad for them.
“A big hit for TLC in its first season, Breaking Amish has not received a second-season renewal”
That’s odd, isn’t it?
As phoney as everything on “TruTV”?
At least Steven Segal: Lawman, Storage Wars, Hardcore Pawn, Property Wars and Long Island Medium are real. Phew.
What’s next? The Moonshiners aren’t making moonshine? Oh wait. LOL!
These people are all laughing their way to the bank. It’s entertainment.
Where were they getting the money for their expenses? If these people are truly Amish/Mennoite, then how are they able to afford a hotel, bikini waxes, eating out every night, etc? I suspect the producers of the show footed every single expense. Another instance was when Rebecca was told the cost of the new dentures. Did she really think those teeth were free? The sudden change of heart from the dentist to pay for them was amazing. I suspect the producers pulled the dentist aside and offered to pay for those teeth. Wish I had someone who would pay for all my expenses.
I asked myself the same questions…
That’s a nice life they’re living, but nobody (hardly…) is working at all.
Can any of us afford a nice New York Hotel with so many amenities?
Obviously there is a budget somewhere… Share with us.
I wanna know who’s pregnant!
I Love the show! Please TLC bring it back for a 2nd season!
I was really disappointed to find out this show was likely fake. I seen these cast members on the ‘Today” show initially (before the show started) and this is when my curiosity and love for learning about other cultures. The Hersurites, which played last season was great. It truly revealed the lifestyle of these people. As this show has progressed I feel the characters ugly sides were revealed. This Rebecca girl is so immature and uneducated that it is not easy to watch her without getting annoyed! Then we learn she was married before this engagment to Abe. Now this week theirs news of a baby. What the hell? What kind of life can these two really have? It’s really sad. I hope this relationship is fruitful and endearing, but how can it be? Nether have more than a 4th grade education, barely read and write…..nether have displayed any skills or ability to earn a living that would sustain a family. I feel bad for all these characters. This couple certainly have little chance at success without returning to their religious sect. Without TLCs money we sure would not have seen what we saw! What happens when this money runs out? Jeremiah also has a lot of skeletons in his closet. He is also very out of touch with English society. Finally, Kate is so beautiful I sincerely hope her modeling situation is reality. I hope she succeeds and is able to establish and maintain a professional modeling career for years to come. She has potential if she avoids the traps of alcohol and drug use. I think the audience has the right to know the truth. I wish all the characters nothing but the best. My advice to each of them is make the right choices, seek out education/training, and live your life to its fullest potential.
After watching this show a couple of times, I knew that it was bogus. I live in upstate NY where we have a very large community of Amish and what they portray on TV is NOT even close to them. Reality TV is a load of crap, it’s all scripted. RATINGS, RATINGS, RATINGS.. thats what sells….. not the TRUTH. What is this society coming to.
I have to say something after watching the reunion show last nite.
What a horrible interviewer, the woman was rude and arrogant. No wonder the kids were so defensive. Her questions wete pitiful, the infliction in her voice was offensive. She was not nice at all, no wonder she did not get the answers she wanted. Get rid of that woman or let someone else talk to them. I would have walked out in the first ten minutes.
TLC fooled us lololo why did they not check this out before?What a JOKE that show is lololo
Whether real or fake it was entertaining, the 2 most annoying on the show by far were Abe and Rebecca. Abe needs a knuckle sandwich to his kisser and Rebecca’s got more secrets than the U.S government.
I started off liking the show until the reunion, bc Rebecca said she had money bc she been working at a young age, but going back she told the dentist she didn’t have that kind of money, something doesn’t sound real!!!!!!!…. And then they all was rude to Mrs.Beadle!!! So rude!!!.. She didn’t ask them to sign up for the show so when someone ask u a ? That the viewers want to know then just answer it or politely say I don’t want to answer that ?… I don’t think the show is real
