Fans are concerned for Liz Woods’ daughter Ryleigh Leanne

Big Ed and Liz Woods decided to get married on 90 Day: The Last Resort, only for Big Ed to call off their wedding a few days before the ceremony. But fans have been caught up worried and concerned about Woods’ 10-year-old daughter, Ryleigh Leanne. There hasn’t been much shared about Woods’ ex-husband except the fact that they are on good terms and the fact that he has full custody of Ryleigh.

The reality TV star had acknowledged on her social media that her daughter’s stepmother loved her the same way as her own children. She noted that she is grateful that her daughter has people who love her in her life. Initially, Woods had shared that Big Ed was nice to her daughter, which impressed her until in an episode where Ryleigh and Woods were making pizza and there was flour on the counter, Big Ed got paranoid.

ScreenRant reports that Big Ed wanted the daughter to see him as a father figure and not as an uncle, but his behavior towards her did not sit right with the fans. The infamous Taco Pasta fight that is going to go down in history as the most ridiculous reason to fight and call off the wedding stems from Ryleigh’s low spice tolerance. However, when the mother-daughter was leaving the house they shared with Big Ed, he told the 10-year-old Ryleigh that no matter what happened between him and her mother, he’d always love her.

Now that their relationship is over, Reddit users take a look back at how Liz Woods treated her daughter. A user wrote,

She has some serious issues with alcohol. I feel so bad for her daughter, who seems like the adult in the mother-daughter relationship. Liz needs to get her sh*t together and be a mother to her daughter instead of hopping from one abusive relationship to the next.

Another user shared that Woods shouldn’t have included her daughter in her relationship with Big Ed, especially when she knew how tumultuous and unstable that relationship was. A lot of users felt relieved that Ryleigh’s custody is with her father and she lives with him and her family.

The fans wished that Liz Woods would have just kept her daughter away from the cameras, but if that was not possible, she should have watched herself. It’s not just her she has to be responsible for but also her daughter.
