Simple Life 2 family member says “I was doing what they wanted me to do.”
Firefighter Jimmy Skinner, who appears in tonight’s episode of The Simple Life 2, says that during certain scenes, “I was doing what they wanted me to do. I was playing the part.” He won’t elaborate because of contractual obligations. But the Sun-Hearld does provide a scoop about the burp emitted by one of his sons. The boy’s grandmother, who didn’t sign a contract, says, “I was sitting right next to him and didn’t hear that. Sound effects.” For their trouble, including dealing with a crew of 60, the family received $1,500.
