America’s ‘most inbred family’ have issued an apology to the man who uncovered them.
Photographer Mark Laita discovered the Whittaker family about 20 years ago, but he didn’t start filming their lives right away.
He stayed in contact with them and went back to their home in Odd, West Virginia, to begin filming in 2020.
\The family consists of three siblings named Lorraine, Timmy, and Ray. Their parents were reportedly first cousins.
After the Whittaker family appeared on Mark Laita’s Soft White Underbelly YouTube channel, they got a lot of attention and were labeled as “the most inbred family” in the U.S.
Although Mark had a good relationship with them, he decided to end it after discovering they had been lying to him.
The family told Mark that 67-year-old Larry Whittaker had died earlier this year. Mark helped them raise money for the funeral and even gave $1,000 of his own money.
However, Larry wasn’t actually dead. When Mark found out, the family apologized for lying, but they went on to deceive him again.
The photographer, Mark Laita, gave Larry Whittaker $700 to help him take his daughter BJ to North Carolina to start a new life. But Larry didn’t do that and kept the money for himself.
Even though Mark said he wasn’t going to see the Whittakers anymore, he visited them over the summer. He filmed the visit and posted it on YouTube this month. In the video, Larry shakes Mark’s hand and apologizes for everything that happened.
“It’s been a long time,” Larry says to Mark. “I’m sorry for what they did to you, and I want to tell the world that I’m sorry.”
Mark accepts the apology and says he missed them. “I’m very good at forgiving and understanding,” Mark shared. “I’ve missed you guys, and I think my viewers have missed you too.” He even joked that the Whittakers probably missed the money they made from being on his YouTube channel.
Now that they’re on speaking terms again, Mark set up another GoFundMe for the family in late August. So far, the page has raised a little over $600 out of a $100,000 goal. The money will go toward helping the family with living expenses and taking care of their home.
Salma Hayek Looks HOT in New Bikini Photos, and We Can’t Believe She’s 57
ưSalma Hayek recently treated her followers to a collection of fresh bikini snapshots, sharing her stunning looks and her family’s response to the photos. Fans in the comments couldn’t help but shower her with praise for her confidence and beauty.
Salma recently shared some new photos where she’s wearing a cool dark blue bikini adorned with patterns, along with some stylish gold necklaces. In the pictures, she’s posing on a ladder attached to a boat, and it looks like someone from her family is spraying water at her. Salma jokingly captioned the photos, “When your family won’t let you take a bikini pic in peace.”
Salma is quite comfortable sharing her beach experiences on social media. In fact, she calls it liberating. She mentioned, “I had to lose a lot of weight and exercise to get into the bikini towards the end of last year. I’m glad I took a lot of pictures, I have no shame on it because it was the first week of the vacation.”
Salma’s recent photos sparked immediate interest from the public, drawing thousands of comments. One admirer remarked, “I thought these photos were from 20 years ago! Looking amazing as always.” Another chimed in, “…you are looking absolutely incredible in that bikini 
so inspirational.”
She let out the secret behind her fit body.
Salma revealed that she doesn’t exercise much because she has super long workdays, often stretching to 16 or even 20 hours. Instead of hitting the gym, her trainer showed her how to keep her muscles engaged throughout the day. Salma explained, “She taught me how to hold my body in a way where the muscles are activated all day long.”
Salma Hayek, who’s now widely celebrated as an icon, faced challenges earlier in her career. Surprisingly, she was restricted from showcasing her comedic talents because she was considered “too hot.”
