I'm very happy for her, but also worried. Her lack of experience and her abusive household makes her more vulnerable to further abuse by new predators. I hope she's getting professional help, and also has good people around her.

She is already being abused and she doesn't even know it. All this media exploitation she's getting is gonna get her in an even darker place in the future! She is so inexperienced that she thinks these people are her "friends", but in reality they see her as a money making machine with a "catchy" story to sell.

People who come normal families get lost in this industry, end up taking drugs. Now for her, with her past , she is more susceptible to it. That worries me and don't want her suffer any more in the future.

Jordan is PROOF that you can go through some horrific stuff in your life but come out the other side and SURVIVE! 🥰❤️

she has no reason to be so kind, yet here she is. someone please get all these kids some older completely loving and supportive people in their life to help them, mentors, they all deserve it no matter what age.
Oh Jordan, I met you when you guys sang at the Cornville Baptist Church. And I was talking to you. I love you. And this is a grandma who has always prayed for you. You are a leader and God has an awesome purpose for your life!! Love GG (Georgia...from Cornville, Az.)
After years of abuse I was left with a crippling low self esteem that makes it so I can’t wear anything pretty as I was always told I was ugly and worthless and to this day I struggle with that. To see this young lady go through something ten times worse and still hold her self value and know that she deserves to wear what she wants and dares to smile and enjoy now every moment to make up for those lost is… I have no words. This woman is strength personified and I hope and dream to one day be able to enjoy things the way that she can with that hopeful eager spirit that just wanted nothing but being free.

Jordan makes me so incredibly happy. She has this amazing vibe about her. I mean what an absolute super human of a woman. 💜💜💜💜
I’m so worried for all the siblings, can’t believe after they have escaped, they are suffering even worse torture. It’s truly 🤬ed up.
It’s a true joy watching these young adults enjoy life. 💗💗
After all Jordan and her siblings went through in their own home, then in the broken foster system afterwards, they deserve all the wonderful things happening for them and more. Keep soaring kids.
She is fragile and very strong at the same time. I hope she and her family are not taken advantage of. I wish them all the grace and blessings they deserve.
She needs to realize that she ALREADY IS A MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKER! And she can use her skills for fashion and makeup to further her speaking and motivational skills. She can teach young and old to take pride in yourself and show us how! I really love her and am looking forward to seeing what she does in the world.

So happy that she did what she did to get herself and all of her siblings out of that crazy house!!! Good for her with her videos and modeling, etc!!! She will be okay!!! She's determined. She should start her own makeup and fashion lines.
I'm so very happy that Hailey embraced these girls. I hope they are getting the help that they need. I'm terribly afraid that someone with negative plans might come into their lives.

Wow! When I saw Jordan's first interview I thought she should be a model; she just had that look! I am glad she is doing that. I also feel like others; and hope she is getting therapy. Abuse does mark you and you do tend to repeat patterns. I hope all her siblings are doing better, since I heard the hell they lived with foster parents.
I just don't understand...how disconnected is society.... the neighbours had absolutely no idea about what was going on in the house... it's time people do take an interest in their surroundings... Thankfully she decided to run away from the house and was able to... what if all the windows had gills on them... Her confidence and how far she has come along with her siblings is wonderful....
Someone get her a full ride scholarship already that would be so good for her 😩
I love this girl!! She’s amazing.. an inspiration to trauma survivors
Hope she is surrounded by good people. Very vulnerable. God bless her and her siblings. I pray for protection for all of them.

She’s just gorgeous. I really hope that she finds someone to help her reach her goals on becoming a motivational speaker. She reminds me a lot of Claire Wineland. I remember watching a video on Claire and she wanted to become a motivational speaker and she had a mentor that taught her the necessary steps. I hope she finds a mentor and becomes an advocate for children that are/were in her situation .
Wow this is some feisty little girl, I'm so happy for her that she has come so far. For a child who was so isolated for her whole life, she sure has grown up into quite the woman. 🇨🇦
honestly, i think she can handle anything the world throws at her, seeing her on tiktok like a normal teenager is so wholesome, yes there are risks on the internet but she literally said, when she first saw justin bieber's interviews, 'i want to experience this'. if being an influencer is the dream that made her brave enough to escape, no one should take it away from her.

So happy to see Jordan Turpin doing so well. She's just amazing with how much she has advocated for her siblings, including after they were removed from their parents' custody and put in foster care. It's been such a hard road for her (and her sibs), and I love that she's able to talk about what she is doing right now, in her own life! To me, that shows she feels all of her siblings are safe and she is finally able to breathe and heal. I can't wait to see what she does next!
I hope they have someone who is there for them to help them adjust and keep them safe.
