So Larries, and very insistently, shadyshit91, who has a whole “masterpost” about it, believe Freddie is actually Tammi and Brett’s son, who has an entirely different name (even though he responds to Freddie and calls Briana “mommy”).
They think he’s not 3 years old, he’s actually older because he looks bigger you see... how much older differs from a few months to a year and a half (so your estimation of his age ranges quite broadly but you can’t accept he’s just... three)
According to them, Tammi and Brett raise Freddie and “lend him” to Briana so she can post him on social media. Even now that Briana and Tammi seem to be having issues, Tammi is either contractually obligated to “lend” her son to her estranged daughter or they’re not really fighting and it’s all fake.
According to them, proof of all this is Brett’s brother saying Freddie is his nephew, which... he is... Brett is Briana’s stepfather. He’s basically Freddie’s grandfather. Brett’s brother would be Freddie’s great uncle, but “great nephew” is not a commonly used term, especially in casual conversation. You would usually just use “nephew”. Just like my cousin’s kids are my first cousin once removed, I call them niece/nephew... It’s quite possible that Brett’s brother was also just exaggerating the family connection, since he’s barely met Freddie. This is something Briana’s family does a lot, there’s a reason Ashley (Brett’s sister’s daughter) was known as “cousin Ashley” for so long, even though Briana and her are not related at all
Then there’s the fact that Tammi and Brett spent a lot of time with him. Or that they dressed him in matching outfits. Because, you see, grandparents would never do that..
The biggest proof for them is how “similar” Freddie looks to Brett, even though there’s no similarity whatsoever other than in the fact that they’re all blondes with blue eyes (which Briana also is... and Louis has blue eyes and his sister is blonde), Freddie is Louis’ spitting image, no matter how hard they try to say Freddie looks “exactly like Brett and Austin”
I think the most damning piece of evidence of their delusion is this (credit to @brianaxjungwirth x9)
That is VERY CLEARLY the exact same baby from the first photo to the last. We’re literally seeing him grow in front of our eyes and he’s a gorgeous little boy that doesn’t deserve to be in the center of all this
You theorized he was a doll at the beginning, a borrowed child actor then, now his grandparents’ son that’s actually older, but here you have the living proof that he is just, in fact, Freddie. From the first to the last picture, and he’s growing accordingly to his age and there’s absolutely nothing weird or shady about anything about him
I’m gonna leave you with this lovely call for harassment by Blue, shadyshit91
