Dougherty Dozen Hires Private Security To Go To Mini ComiCon? | Day Drinking Is Not A Good Look 

“ If you have 12 kids and need to drink, you’re doing it wrong. “ no truer words have been spoken. Amen to that brother

I'm an alcoholic in recovery and when I was at my worst back in 2017 I use to finish off a 30 case of beer in one night. I'm a 4 ft 11 female in my 20s. I'm not saying this to brag, I'm saying this because alcoholism is a real disease and it really pisses me off when people glorify drinking or look down on people with an alcohol problem. I use to drink socially in my late teens and early 20s. I went through a REDICULOUS amount of trauma that no young girl should have to go though and the people around me normalized drinking and drugs and it was a trap I fell into unknowingly. I was trying to cover up my panic attacks and use alcohol to 'fix my social anxiety and searing pain" until one day I looked in the mirror and was like.... holy shnikes I'm an alcoholic. It literally creeps up on you without u realizing it. It rewires your brain chemistry and shuts down your natural dopamine ( reward system) and serotonin (happy mood) production. So your brain thinks you need that substance to survive and function properly. Your amygdala and hippocampus structures in the brain are completely changed and your neurotransmitters are manipulated into thinking it needs that substance like food or water. And since it's artificial and not naturally produced anymore, it needs more and more over time just to get back to that "functional level" (tolerance). That's why I will forever be against drinking socially and at all because it's a slippery slope and the chemical dependency hits you out of nowhere. All it takes is a huge life event and or crises and it will pull you in overnight. If you don't know any better. When I see people glorify alcohol it makes me sick and it's almost insulting. It really is the devil and it will take your life right underneath of you. I don't have kids but choosing to adopt and living that lifestyle is just so selfish. It's beyond comprehension to me. I hope other people out there know if they're struggling with addiction that there is hope on the other side. And that not every addict is a trash bag like these people or others on the news and in the media. Ur either a good person or ur not. Addiction aside. And this woman is a sad excuse for a mother. Shes narcissistic and selfish and doesn't realize the toxic environment she is putting these kids into. It's one thing to have a problem. It's another to glorify it and put innocent children in the middle. I hope life humbles the shit out of this woman. Nuff said.

Does it creep anyone else out when she says “But first, coffee” and then weirdly smiles and stares at the camera while she drinks it? 😂

I was raised by a wine mom and a beer dad, I can guarantee you that those kids are basically raising themselves 😑.

I’m surprised her husbands job is okay with these videos being that he is a teacher!

We know it's a good day when Josh makes dougherty dozen videos

I would pay an incredible amount of money to see the clips of you doing their intro/imitating alicia before tyson edits😭😭

I just said to myself “holy crap she looks like the witch from Snow White” and literally 30 seconds later, Josh says it 😅 that’s all I see

I think Bree seeks affection from her grandma. She always rushes for a cuddle when Grandma arrives at the house. Even in the airport when they were going to New York as soon as she saw grandma she used over to her. I’ve never seen Alisha give any of the children apart from Harley any physical warmth or affection.

If I spent that much on costumes I would have my kids wear it all year round lol 😂😂

I'm actually more concerned with the fact she said they had to go pick up some kids at 4:45 and yet they're drinking at 4:30! Like what the actual hell is she thinking!? 😬

People who go to Comic Con and dress up mostly put a tonne of effort into their costumes. I agree they don’t go in a random Halloween, store bought costume. Also that’s a small local Comic Con, the big city ones are huge and packed with people.

The fact that the lockers aren't against the wall is driving me nuts!! They were just put in front of more junk.

Wish Alicia would overspend on tutors, counseling, and educational help with these kids instead of the frivolous items constantly bought for them. She’s mentioned that they have numerous learning disabilities. Why not get them they help they need? Josh, stay tuned for October. There are 5 birthdays including hers. She’ll be getting numerous highs from all that shopping!

She bought tampons too. I was so shocked, and she said, Nivea already bought her pads. NOOOOO. 😳

She is lazy. That’s fine to be lazy, but when u choose to bring 12 kids in your home Lazy goes out the window. It’s like she “collected” 12 kids to fed her narcissism. “Oh Alusha, ur such a drunk, I mean so wonderful, and have such a greedy, I mean big heart.” She needs a reality check before she falls on her face. Which will hurt the kids. Love your videos Josh. I’m fully behind your view on these “families”.

Thank you for spreading awareness ❤️ I will keep sharing your content.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought this was a weird excuse of a Comic Con. More like a book fair in a sports hall. When they said New York comic con I thought they would be going to one similar to San Diego

There’s obviously more to the story of Nevaeh not going to comic con. I have a feeling that the older kids are starting to read a lot of what’s being said on the Internet, and this is just the beginning of the unravel. I feel bad for them.

If I had the kind of money she is making, I would add on to my house. She has 14 people living in there. It’s not big enough. That kitchen of hers is brutal. I ‘d also have it organized and no way in hell my garage would ever look like that.

How absurd buying your kid an expensive costume for an event and being acceptable that they “don’t feel like waking up”. Shows no commitment. Bad parenting

I've been waiting for this one lol, gives me something to watch while I wait for my boy to come out of high school.

Alcoholics should not be allowed to adopt and foster children especially children who came from this abuse. She’s sickening

She hired security to be with her in a mostly empty hall, she certainly thinks a lot of herself

If Missy really had a half of a brain, and a loving and kind and protective heart, she would never post their medical problems and locations. Please pray for the children. I am appalled.

I have a feeling Neveah didn’t go to ComicCon because she regretted her outfits and/or felt uncomfortable because Alicia kept telling her followers that they were going to be there.

With the money that the lockers cost her she could have hired someone to help her organize that garage 😅🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️.. so weird. I swear I saw cubbies in the garage that would do the same thing as the dang lockers .. Has she ever talked about her past? Maybe all of this behavior stems from her own trauma. It’s more sad than anything. And my heart breaks for Neveah..

What bothered me the most about the Comic-Con trip was that Alicia got Bree a large cup of dipping dot for $10 but the man gave them a medium and still charged them $10.

What bothered me the most about the Comic Con video was about how frightened her bio daughter Zoe appeared. Do you think the great mom Alicia quit videoing? No, Aunt Kiki held her hand most of the time. Then Zoe was in a spot alone and Alicia had some weird remarks. In my opinion, it was time to go home. Not continue producing a video at a child’s mental health.

Adderall increases her tolerance for alcohol. In my 20’s we would take it to stay awake and party more. I’d probably die if I tried that now. Also the amount of coffee she’s drinking + alcohol + adderall is a terrible combo for her heart

MUCH LOVE TO YOU & YOUR FAMILY❣

she didn’t even clean out behind the lockers so she could put them against the wall? there was just stuff still back behind them, and they shoved them in front of it.

I laughed at A-LUSH-A and your wig - great start to my day, thanks Josh!

I had a feeling Nevaeh didn't want to go anymore because she read the comments on Alicia's video of everyone saying her costumes were very inappropriate. Probably didn't want to be seen in them after that lol 🤷‍♀️

Josh, you are so correct about everything....plus you are beyond hilarious! I swear not too many things or people make me fully laugh out loud but YOU DO! I wish I knew the brand of mirror she owns because I would buy one instantly......It's obviously showing her something the rest of us don't see. Like I commented before, she is being SO cocky with the blatant alcohol use that it will definitely backfire-----I don't know why they haven't already been investigated with all of the adopted children in their care. She is laughing all the way to the bank but she'll be crying once it all comes crashing down.....Nobody deserves it more than her and Josh. Save those children! Also, the house is filthy and chaotic and all of the kids need their hygene addressed.

Could you imagine seeing her and two girls walking around with security guards 🤣 I mean it would be weird.

My biggest concern with RU-vid or any social media influence is how fickle people can be. I would always be worried with as quickly as you get famous, you can “die off” just as fast. I would be saving every penny. When you buy like crazy you set a precedence that you may not always be able to keep up when people move onto the next thing.

I can not stop laughing when you mock her voice! And the wig, awesome! 🤣😂

This Comic-Con looks like the Ace Fest

I really like your videos. Also you crack me up so much I laugh all the time. Thank you

I FELT SO SORRY FOR BOHEH, HE KEPT SAYING “ARE WE GOING TO ANOTHER HOME?” WHEN HE WAS MOVING HIS COATS AND THINGS TO THE LOCKER !!

This is not Comic Con. In New Orleans there is Comic Con what is now called Fan Expo that is held in the Convention Center. The halls are HUGE! The costume are amazing and they put a ton of work/money into them. I have seen character outfits that look like the outfits from the comic book or movies. Pretty darn spectacular looking! Also, as a certified makeup artist, I was having a fit over her eye makeup. She made her eyes look so much smaller with all that shimmer eyeshadow all over the eyes. I’m all for filling in eyebrows if needed, but damn…..🤦🏼‍♀️

This thumbnail needs to win an award LOL 🤣🤣

My parents raised us to participate in home projects. This is how we learned that real life isn't all about fun & games. It is about organizing your spaces/life to be more efficient so you can contribute, work, and volunteer to others. Neither of my parents ever did any work/chores around the house without at least one of us helping. This included everyday things like making lunches, evening meals, grocery shopping, dishes, laundry, washing the car, etc. Not including kids in these activities gives us a situation where kids leave home and don't know how to care for themselves, let alone others....

The amount of alcohol that she drinks in one week, is more than I have drank in my whole life. For reals though. WOW.

I would seriously rent a dumpster if my garage looked like that

"I know I'm like this, I don't think she knows. Someone should tell her." 😂 I have never laughed so hard

She paid for security because she showed EVERY SINGLE LOCATION including schools and just so happened to get called out for it 🙄

I literally LOL’d at your quick “butt slap” clip after her Dougherty intro. I missed it the first time and was like “no, wait rewind I gotta see what he just added in 😅”

If you have kids with FASD and really feel the need to drink, get a babysitter, go to a bar, and keep it out of the house and away from the children.

If she's getting that much alcohol, she is definitely drinking all day. I guarantee she isn't buying 3 cases 1 time a week. This is probably beer run #1.

I found a site to buy the lockers. 4 sets of 3 came to $1479 plus $633 for shipping. A crazy amount for not a very good upgrade to the storage needs.

I thought they were just temporarily there, then she started putting stuff in ! The ammount of sugary snacks and drinks she buys is obcene

I watched this video of hers when it came out, but your perspective is so enlightening, you have changed my view on things immensely. I grew up in an alcoholic home and her eyes and skin just scream some sort of dependency to me.

When the hell will they get hooked up to the water system? With all that money they have....

Yay Josh a another one of these videos

Dude I live for your snark on Dougherty dozen 🤣

As a cosplayer yes it always is funny to see people in a halloween costumes, for kids they are usually in themed halloween costumes and it's cute, but adults in ringleader costume would stand out at a comic con, and that thing they went too is a glorified art festival wearing any costume there would be funny

if she is going to hire guards to go to comic con, maybe they need full time guards for their house . crazy

I think it’s ironic she spent over 500 on Neaveah for two costumes for comic con and she didn’t go because she didn’t want to get out of bed. She is teaching theese teenagers that money is just disposable and has no value. ALICIA NEEDS TO LEARN THE WORD NO. This is not what gentle-parenting means. The bad makeup comments I would say are inappropriate because she was in costume but this is her everyday makeup lol

I am a professional organizer, and by that I mean I run a large eBay store solely from my home. Organization is key! Luckily, I enjoy doing it, and it has always helped to control my anxiety. So I got good. And it really does take skill! This woman...has none. Which I am sure you're shocked to hear. If she wanted to do this, she needed to clean first, as you said. And then storage like lockers MUST be against the wall! Open shelves go in the middle, creating aisles. Also, good time to see what you can get rid of! Best time to purge! Did she do any of this? Of course not. My three-car garage supports an inventory of over 1500 items, but she can't even figure out putting in new organization/storage options! How will she gets to what she blocked with those lockers?? I am confused....

Not only is she drinking way too many white claws, but of course she chooses the worst flavor of them all 🤣😭

Coming from a family of functioning alcoholics where daily alcohol consumption was normalized and just a part of life, it conditioned me to then develop an unhealthy relationship with alcohol myself, starting at a young age and took me nearly a decade to overcome it. And it was triggering for me to be around my family when they drank, then and to this day. These children are at an extremely high risk given their trauma and circumstances to develop Alcohol Use Disorder and they are being traumatized. Alicia and Josh’s carelessness and intentional recklessness boils my blood. There is no way they are not aware of the risks of their children developing AUD. I am sure that is covered in the Foster/Adoption classes they took.

How MUCH do I LOVE dad challenge podcast??? SOOOO FUCKING MUCH! Why? Bc he has the balls and the integrity to CALL OUT these inappropriate and destructive behaviors of these parents! I also come from an abusive toxic family and I too can spot this shit a MILE AWAY! I call it out too any chance I get. Good job dad 😊

The wig when she does her intro had me rolling 😂

I knew she had to be on adderal. There’s no way someone has that much energy and can live off so little sleep. I’ve taken it myself to focus (not prescribed, I’ll admit it) but the jitters and stuff you feel initially eventually go away, and then you’re left with being able to wake up at 4 or 5am and bang out breakfast, 12 lunches and dinner. Or do 15 loads of laundry at the laundromat. And not go to sleep until 11 at night or later. I’m glad it’s confirmed!

How did I just find this channel me and my family always talk how crazy this family is and now there’s a channel that shares the same thoughts

Omg Josh! I laughed so hard when you surprised us with the wig 😂😂😂😂

Yup , you are so right Josh There's No way that this is the Actual comicon

When I went for my last physical I had to update my medical information questionnaire. One question was how many drinks I consume and I put down 12. The dr asked12 drinks a day, week, or month...I said I drank maybe 12 drinks a year...haha

Omg! That close up is scary!!!! I`m getting "whatever happened to baby Jane vibes 😱

I’m loving these snarks on the D Dozen .. been having a hard time lately and these make me genuinely laugh ❤

Can we talk about how she classified dippin’ dots or whatever they are called as lunch?

This lady is crazy she needs help

Oh wow that explains why there was 2 men security gaurd following her and her kids I thought something seemed weird about that can’t wait to watch the snark

I like how no one is dressed up, just them! Lol 😆

I don't understand why she won't spend time with her kids without the video tape everything so sad and I worry about the kids safety because there are so crazy people out there watch her kids

Thank you Josh for calling them out because they should be cancelled ASAP

Honestly i love uuuuuu. U are The funiest snd honest person i saw on RU-vid And i agree with u literally with everything. Xxxxxxxx

OMG. With her cash flow can she pay a makeup artist to show how to apply makeup 😂😂

Josh that isnt the big COMICCON! That is packed and has soooo much booths and famous people and all the stuff! I have no ide wtf this is!🙄🤣

Just now realized why you call her "alusha" lol. 🥴 Definitely not normal to drink alcohol at 430 in the afternoon, before the kids come home from extracurriculars and need to be fed, bathed, & homework checked and stuff??! Let alone a TEACHER!!!! Go to school hung over?! Like ????

She needs body guards for the kids from all their info she puts out there. Predator paradise.

LOL I died when you had the wig on during their into. This woman needs some moisturizer holy moly. I’m guessing she uses powder for foundation which makes her skin look even more dry. Girl moisturizer is your friend! And why the red eyebrows? Lawd noooo.

alicia is not 100 pounds. she’s probably around 130-150 depending on her height. men have no idea what weight looks like on women😂

Can you PLEASE do another full length snark on her grocery haul lol theyre my favorites

As someone who goes to comic con a lot you don’t just wear a random costume like Halloween 😂

The way she talks, OH MY GOD. I can’t do it anymore! Hahaha

I LOVE this Alicia: WoOoO0wWw ThaT’s C0OoooooL Josh: Is it🥴🥴 as simple as that is I’m just laughin every time

When you zoomed in with the lipstick she reminded me of the llama from emporers new groove

Ahhh..can't wait for this!

I’ve always watched her videos but now that I found your channel omgggosh I love it ; and our Comic-Con’s are nothing like this 😂now I do feel so bad for these poor kids God help them

It looks like she's putting lipstick on a dead person😯

Each child should have their own locker with a lock for their own personal stuff. Keep the world out of their business. They have absolutely no privacy at home or from the world's eyes... thanks Alicia! Many prayers for N & D as newly placed young teens being showcased to the world... like caged animals. I'm so sorry for the kids, God help them, please. 🙏🏼❤🕊

OMG, I was taking a drink of coffee at the exact moment that you did this> @15:27 I laughed so hard, I choked and spewed coffee all over my laptop keyboard, screen, hand knitted table cloth and some bills that were sitting by the laptop! Thank God my laptop s ok and the bills? not so much but I didn't wanna pay them anyways! Thanks for the laugh, it was worth every bit of clean up I had to do!

JOSH!! Lol did you miss the balloon arch in the corner in the garage!? That’s from the “first day of school” video when she had to try to make a big deal about it with balloons in the picture and all. ITS STILL THERE!! Why’s it not cleaned up? Lol

Okay so it’s interesting that she talks about having anxiety and not wanting to talk to people but then tells everyone where they’ll be. She let Bree have the $10 cup of dippin dots for lunch, she doesn’t tell them no to shit!

Cps needs to step in and think hard about those kids in their care!!

Usually a silent watcher but look forward to these 😂😂😂😅

I have been to a couple of comic con and the ones I have been to in Australia are way busier then this one this must be out in the boon docks somewhere
