However, real Romanis and Irish Travelers have revealed that no such "tradition" exists. It's just one nasty boy they showed. Oh, and those "gypsy balls"? Those were embellished by TLC as well. According to an anonymous Romani blogger, the big dresses are a minority within the community.
Although people featured on the show live in trailers, campers, or caravans, the majority of nomadic ethnic communities actually live in houses, about 60 percent of them in the UK. In Priscilla's episode, she's shown standing in front of a camper and calling it her "gypsy home," however she now says TLC made her say that. Surprisingly, despite baring their souls and dignity for TLC cameras, many people featured on the show allegedly don't even receive a paycheck. Unsurprisingly, many people from both communities are disappointed in TLC and the inaccurate portrayal of their cultures.
As a college graduate, a classically trained pianist, and member of the film industry, I did not fit the bill of the 'real gypsies' he was interested in meeting. Other Romanis and Travelers have also spoken up about their disappointment of the show and how it portrays their culture. However, Priscilla has been the most outspoken about her distaste with TLC and how they've handled the series.
Granted, the second episode reports that 90 percent of Traveller land requests are rejected, and it shows Travellers being evicted from their trailers camps. But the back-story offered is simply that the local council had instructed the residents to leave and they had refused. No one on the council is interviewed, nor did the show bother to find a historian who might have been able to offer some genuine insight into the tensions over land between Travellers and non-Travellers.
The slaves of empires past, the Roma were persecuted by the Nazis and, today, tend to live in dire poverty, often in shantytowns outside major cities in Central and Eastern Europe. None of this seems to matter to Channel 4 or TLC.
