The Lies, Contradictions, and Evolving Persona of Rachel Wilson: A Brief History

Rachel Wilson (also known as basedhomeschoolmom) got her start on Twitter as a paleo diet blogger. She often tweeted about the miraculous healing the paleo diet had on her daughter's autism.

Rachel has maintained health and fitness as part of her personality and, as a result, received backlash on the account of her weight gain.

Rachel has excused her weight by citing Hashimoto’s as the culprit and only recently finding out she had it, though her own tweets reveal she has known about this for quite some time. Her tweets also reveal she abandoned the paleo diet blog and moved on to the next trend.

She would subsequently become involved in the America First movement, where she gained notoriety for attempting to set her daughter up with a groyper by publicly showcasing her.

Eventually, she found herself deeply embedded in the trad side of Twitter. She is often seen in Orthodox spaces and even appeared on Tucker Carlson as a homeschooling advocate in 2022.

Digging deeper, Rachel is not actually a based homeschooling mom. She’s just a chronically online clout-chasing mom. Posts from her daughter’s pages reveal they were very much enrolled in public school and were not being homeschooled.

She has also tweeted multiple times about her work history—again, something she shames other women for. She claims she worked professionally in hair, nails, and makeup and even bragged about her experience as a makeup artist for Clinique and Lancôme.

A pesky detail: her meeting with the Town Council concerning her business. Notice how her name is still Jennings? Odd for someone supposedly married for 17 years.

Rachel Wilson has claimed to be married to Andrew Wilson for 17 years. Yet, her own posts contradict this. For example, we see that she was not married until supposedly 2012.

Very curious that an anti feminist and pro patriarchy woman would carry the surname of her previous husband five years after her marriage to her current husband.

Despite evidence proving otherwise, Rachel claims to have been married 17, 16, 26 years, but court evidence shows she was still married to her former husband when she and Andrew conceived their first child. Rachel's divorce with her first husband was not finalized until 2011.

Prior to this, Rachel had three other children by two different men—one being her ex-husband and the other her high school boyfriend. Both allegedly abandoned her through at 'no fault of her own.'

Rachel is very active in Orthodox discussions across multiple platforms—to the extent that she appeared on an Orthodox channel just one month after attending her first liturgy.

She even described herself as an "Orthodox mother" in her book, published in 2021—a full three years before her baptism.

Continuing down this rabbit hole, we see Rachel claimed multiple times to have finished her catechism and scheduled her baptism.

She has multiple posts about her patron saint before 2024, while Andrew claimed to be the godparent to an Orthodox child in 2023. However, one can not become a godparent without being baptized into the Orthodox church first

Rachel will probably take this opportunity to complain about doxxing at some point, but let’s remember—she has publicly posted all of her daughters’ names and included them in her book.

The only information revealed comes from her adult daughters' public pages, and all faces have been covered. This information is only shared to demonstrate the extent of her lies and inconsistencies.

For shits and giggles, I'll conclude with the Wilsons’ reaction to the doxxing of the Crowders' children when they were called out for it.
