Updated At End Of Blind Item Post
Recently a source sent Tamara Tattles some information about a recent court case. Tamara Tattles has been unable to verify this information independently. I feel like someone needs to mention what the streets are saying. So I present the information to you with names redacted as a “blind item.”
A couple, Let’s call the Jack and Diane, were recently involved in a custody battle. They asked for an received a new judge to take over the case claiming the first judge was biased toward CPS. A new female judge was given the case.
Jack and Diane live in a modular home. The modular home was allegedly not properly seated on the pad, or the pad was not thick enough or some such. This cause the modular home to flood. This made Jack and Diane very angry. They took to social media to complain about the modular home company. Then the suddenly backed off the modular home company.
Conflict of Interest?
Sources have revealed that the new Judge, Let’s call her Carla, is married to the Director of the [State’s] Manufactured and Modular Homes Association. Also, One of the board members is the owner of the modular home company that Jack and Diane used to purchase their modular home.
The association takes an active role in state and local governments. They work with planning commissioners and regulatory agencies. Also, they serve as a one stop shop for consumers that use their member companies. Everything from finance, insurance, engineers, inspection consultant. Also, they offer assistance getting any permits needed. Finally, they offer PR and media exposure.

Shortly after the new judge came on the case, the case was dismissed despite a lot of damning evidence. This left many people wondering what the heck was going on.
Also, Jack and Diane’s attorney allegedly shares the same last name as the judge.
Again, Tamara Tattles has no confirmation of this information. But something in the buttermilk is not clean.
An UPDATE TO THIS BLIND ITEM From a commenter
LOVE me some Tamara, and am happy this is one blind I can actually add information to being from the area. A judge in the court system DOES have a husband who is the Executive Director of the modular home company….however, this was NOT Jack and Diane’s judge. The judge referenced does mostly Superior Court cases, they were dealing with a judge in the family court (though they do rotate- it’s a small court system so sorry if this is already getting confusing!).
Yes, that judge-with-the-husband is also related to a lawyer (she is his niece), but that lawyer was not the lawyer for their custody case and legally cannot be assigned to her courtroom due to the laws/relation. The confusion came in because the lawyer DOES represent Jack in an ongoing criminal matter, but his lawyer for the custody case is a separate, court-appointed attorney (a female).
BUT there are some questions about Jack and Diane’s actual judge. Diane has been in front of her multiple times in the past for other cases in years past, and this judge dismissed most of her charges and let her go super easy, so they definitely have a past so to speak. There are news articles still online from our local papers when Diane was arrested about the outcome of her cases and the judge’s ruling.
But back to this case….. CPS is appealing. That is very rare, especially in NC where funding is low and they only appeal in 2.3% of all cases. That means CPS believes this is a very serious case and the dismissal was the wrong call.
Janelle and David?
Now everything makes sense. Nepotism at the trailer park. I’m not worried. KARMA.
Thank you for checking your sources. This one is obvious and makes complete sense… corrupt
It all makes perfect sense. I live in NJ and similar corruption happens here all the time. I’m glad you posted this story. Maybe Jack & Diane’s immediate family will use this to request an appeal and request it to be heard and/or seen by a different jurisdiction. One can have hope.
Jenelle and David ??
If anything happens to those kids while back in “Jack and Diane’s” care that judge’s career will sink like those modular homes.
Not good.
The NC Manufactured and Modular Homebuildinf Association of NC is a powerful lobbying group in NC.
From land to loans to insurance, they have a very long political arm.
Don’t underestimate their power.
I’ve lived in NC 25 years now, & have been sufficiently politically/community active to have been appointed to two positions by my county. Though there are some fine people here, our state is embarrassingly corrupt.
So true! Lived here all my life. Last nearly 30 yrs in Charlotte -it’s becoming the next Chicago (corruption wise).
Shouldn’t admit but probably the first blind item I actually knew who it was!
Check out the case involving the SBI director and a blackmail case and its aftermath for further perspective.
So much corruption in the courts. My ex had an affair with the judge in our divorce. I was able to blast them on the 6 o’clock news. Unfortunately, it affected the outcome. Yeah, it’s a dirty world.
Damn! This is crazy horrible! Write a book justso, it can be “fiction” but damn, this post and comments make me so sad.
Prayers for their babies.
Omg. The shit just keeps getting deeper in Columbus County. My SIL was born and raised in Columbus County (pop. 55,936) Yes, I
looked it up even though I knew it was small because I have been there. Whiteville, NC. (pop. 5396) That is where Jack & Diane’s recent custody case was held. When I told him about the latest happenings on The Land he said the whole county is crooked AF. (He doesn’t watch Bravo.) His whole family still lives there and has for many years. He stated his Mom has witnessed first hand the blatant nepotism and corruption within the city government when his grandma, MamaLee died and found out his Grandpa (who had passed 2 years earlier) PapaLee, was buried next to some other woman in a prepaid plot. It’s a long story that involves a cemetery owner that is also a city government official. I may have to call his mother, Ms Evon, and get the tea on the J&D lawyer, judge, etc. sitch.
Jenelle and David. They always manage to skirt around any and all punishment of any kind. I’m sure people have been bought off for years with her Teen Mom money. That’s why she never gets in trouble. Or major trouble anyway. Makes me sick.

Diane has been before this judge before, as stated.
This actually makes me sick. I have a property line dispute with my police man neighbor, and no matter what the judge sides with him. I appealed the decision, pro se, to the court of appeals and they reversed and remanded the decision. Still the local judge doesn’t give a fuck. It’s unfortunate some are so easily bought with no intentions of upholding the law.
Its very frustrating when civil servants use their job title to bully civilians. My ex neighbor was a big wig with veterans affairs( she was not a veteran). She attempted to torment me every chance she got. I hope this puts the national spotlight in this judge and bring forth any corruption.
I think she lives next to me now… Like seriously.
I’m glad it’s an ex-neighbor! I hope the same thing. It’s doubtful, though.
Our neighbor has made it a game to use his connections to cross boundaries and break the law in a menacing and harassing manner. His other family members do the same. I have come to believe these people pursue these positions and connections just to use them this way.
Mine does the same things. I actually was granted a temporary restraining order until the judge found out he was a cop.
It’s unfortunate that the bad people in service often steal the spotlight when there’s so many who are also doing admirable work.
Sorry about your neighbor, it’s a living nightmare.
Thanks, and isn’t it, though? I’ve never tried an order because of his position. I have, however made clear to all of them that I will always video every move they make in our vicinity. That cut some of the activity, but increased the hostility. Oh well. What else was there, especially when they repeatedly claimed that no one saw and therefore I had no recourse? Best to you, because I understand this problem very well.
Judge Carla aka Caroline Ashley Gore (goes by C. Ashley Gore)… is married to Franklin Bradson Lovin (Brad Lovin, executive director, North Carolina Manufactured and Modular Homebuilders Association (NCMHA). The Attorney in question is William Gore, who is Ashley’s uncle. William has been getting heat on his Facebook page, so he cleared this up. Stated Judge Pauline Hankins was the new judge. And yes, she is the same judge who dismissed drug charges against Jenelle Evans previously and let her off w a light sentence. Judge Pauline Hankins is also rated 136 out of 140 by her peers. 1 being the best. Apparently she’ll be up for re-election in 2020..
Ashley Gore used to be the presiding judge over Pauline when Pauline was a prosecutor. So, Ashley might have exercised influence over Pauline’s decision in exchange for Jenelle and David not suing Ashley Gore’s husband‘s modular home company. Maybe? Could be a stretch. Just throwing it out there for opinions. Idk
OT: USA ?? USA ?? USA ??!!!!!
Nathan just posted this on Twitter. Please fill out a complaint.
I’ve calm down a bit and just relying on my faith at this moment. I’m not going to put my two cents in but if anyone wants to put their input, you can visit: survey.nccourts.org/1480690875 to complete a survey. Any input will help. The judge’s name is Pauline Hankins. TY #TeamGriffith
I just sent Nathan a link to this post. I hope the information is useful.
For the sake of those children I pray that they never have to live under the same roof as Jenelle and David again.
I guess part of the problem is that these kids don’t have anyone else who is capable of taking them and there aren’t enough foster parents out there. Plus I’m sure that there is a tendency to assume that parents with money are going to be better than they are.
I would say that is false. Nathan and Doris did well with Kaiser. He was happy with his dad and paternal family. It pisses me off that Jenelle criticized Nathan for going back home to Florida after he had to hand Kaiser over. That’s his home. Of course he’d go back when he doesn’t have his son.
Barb was overwhelmed with 3 kids in her care for sure, but she was able to provide a safer environment for Ensley and has been raising Jace happily since he was a baby. She might not be the ideal caregiver due to her age, but her home sure as shit beats a filthy home riddled with holes because the father punches the walls, among other things, when he is angry.
And although some people felt Barb was upset about having another child to raise, she was the first to speak out about fighting to have the judge’s order reversed. She’s stated she will fight to get Ensley back and to save all of those kids because she’s a kind, decent human being, and despite her obvious mistakes with Jenelle, she is committed to being better for her grandkids.
I don’t know much about Maryssa’s mom, but she certainly felt safe enough with them to speak her mind in court and stand up to her father. I don’t know that there’s anywhere worse than The Land for her. She’s terrified and being verbally and emotionally abused. Her mom has to be a step up. She also had her grandmother to care for her.
All in all anywhere other than The Land is a better option for those kids. Nathan’s girlfriend’s tweet was spot on. #rememberjoshpowell is right.
