Previously, Noah and his former partner, Rhain, publicly announced their separation in January 2025. The split came after six years of marriage and two children. Noah also revealed that it was Rhain’s new boyfriend who served him with the divorce papers. In the video that started this conversation, Noah explained that his basic needs were covered. But he wasn’t allowed to access any of the funds that he received by selling his home or the savings he made from the show.
As a result, he was unable to afford the $4,500 needed to hire a lawyer. With only two weeks left to secure representation, Noah worried he would have to walk into the hearing without legal support. He also spoke emotionally about his sons, stressing the need for a written agreement on decisions like schooling and parenting responsibilities. Viewers shared their thoughts online, with some arguing that he should lean on his famous family instead.
It all started when a Reddit user posted the screenshot of Noah’s video alongside a comment from a Washington-based lawyer. The attorney had his own perspective amidst the judgmental comments that Noah was receiving. According to the lawyer, divorce often leads to severe liquidity issues, even for people with substantial assets. He explained that one can easily be “asset rich and cash poor,” a situation he personally experienced despite having seven figures in savings and owning a multimillion-dollar home.
The lawyer emphasized that Noah’s financial struggle did not automatically mean that he was irresponsible. The lawyer felt that Noah appeared genuinely focused on his children and was openly acknowledging the mistakes he made along the way. That level of accountability, he said, required humility. Reddit users were surprised to see a professional stepping in to defend Noah.
The person who made the post wrote that the situation had “leveled up.” This was in reference to the fact that it was rare for a lawyer to directly ask fans to go easy on a reality star. Others agreed, noting that Noah’s ex-wife had placed him in a difficult corner with legal pressure mounting and limited access to funds. The attorney’s intervention shifted the tone of the discussion, reminding viewers that divorce battles are rarely as simple as they appear online.
