One star of TLC reality show Breaking Amish LA was so shocked by his sister’s newborn baby that he stormed right out of the hospital room after seeing the child’s skin colour for the first time.
Sam was ready to meet his new nephew Kaden, with his sister Lizzie just having given birth. But when the nurse led him into the room and said ‘congratulations’, their joy was short-lived. Lizzie at first hid the baby’s face from her brother, before saying: “Here’s your little nephew. Isn’t he cute?”
Sam took one look at the child and went stony-faced, asking: “What is this?” He then stormed out without another word, as Lizzie begged: “What?” Sam was followed by the cameras around the hospital, before fuming: “Why wouldn’t she tell me something like that?”

He then said: “I did kind of get the idea, kinda towards the end there, that the baby might not be Amish. But since she never said he is or isn’t, I always just expected he probably is. I can tell the baby’s not 100% white – not that I have a problem with it – but why couldn’t she just tell me that?”

He fumed: “That way I would have known what to expect. I don’t know what I’m gonna do. I’m just gonna wait here and see if the f***ing coward shows up – he’s got to show up at some point!”
Then he threatened: “I don’t know who the dad is, but I’m going to beat the Amish into him.” Later, Lizzie revealed she had shacked up with Hoj James, who definitely wasn’t Amish.
She told RadarOnline of the 2013 scandal: “I was very hurt by [Sam]. I didn’t like the way that he treated me when he found out. He was so awful to me.” It turns out Sam’s entire reason for moving to Los Angeles was to lose his own virginity – which left his sister fuming.

She said: “That was so hurtful because of the things he said to me about my situation. I was never taught sex ed. We don’t talk openly about sex. We’re only told don’t do it and that doing it is so wrong in the Amish world.”
Eventually, Lizzie decided to cut Hoj out of her life and return to the Amish fold with her baby son – but a proposal from Hoj turned things around, and they decided to tie the knot. The sweet proposal aired on-screen, with Hoj asking: “I know that your family and my family, and just even me, I would feel a lot better if we were married.”

He asked: “I want to ask you, will you be my wife?” as Lizzie gushed “Yes, I would love to. I would love to!”
Meanwhile, her brother Sam went official with his Romanian girlfriend Kathryn in 2017. Though Lizzie’s last social media update came in 2021, it seems the family are still going from strength to strength, and she regularly shared snaps of her son as he grew up.
