LITTLE People star Amy Roloff has long been at odds with her ex Matt Roloff amid family drama following the sale of Roloff Farms.
Kids Jeremy and Zach Roloff were both interested in purchasing the property and have been feuding with their father ever since he sold it to someone else.

The sale of the farm has been a major point of contention in the family of TLC stars.
Amy recently revealed in an Instagram Live video that Matt, 60, bought the property from her.
She shared with fans: “Matt bought me out at half the value of the property based on a two-year appraisal value, meaning it was two years old.”
The Little People matriarch went on to explain that she expected Matt to mark the farm up some when he sold it, noting that the land had undoubtedly increased in value, but said she “never imagined” he would list it for the price he did.
Matt sold the farm for a whopping $4million, but Amy sold it to him for just $975,000 only two years prior.
She said in the video: “My kids couldn’t afford that.”
Amy seemingly shaded her ex, saying: “I thought the kids would have a much more reasonable opportunity if they could – or wanted to – negotiate.
“Unfortunately, I was not a part of the negotiation conversations, I don’t know what was said or what was dealt.”

The sale caused tension between Matt and Amy, who were married from 1987 to 2016.
It also caused a rift between him and his twin sons Zach and Jeremy.
Matt and Amy had been getting on well prior to the sale drama.
The exes have had their share of ups and downs, however.
TENSE TALKS
During the final episode of the latest season of the family’s TLC show, Amy confronted her ex about the sale and what he did to their sons.
Prior to the tense conversation, the pair had been spending time together with their family and their respective new partners.
Amy said to her ex during the episode: “I think you went crazy or something. I don’t know the details of the negotiation with the two boys. For the price it is, the kids can’t afford that.”
Matt responded: “The good news is, there is 93 acres for this family.”
Amy fired back: “No, there are 93 acres for Matt Roloff. It’s not part of the family anymore.”
HOUSE HATER
During an earlier episode of Little People, Big World, Matt’s current girlfriend Caryn Chandler drew the ire of fans with her candid comments about Amy’s home.
During the episode, the TLC star and Caryn walked through the home he previously shared with his ex-wife in Oregon while toying with the idea of moving in with his current girlfriend.
Caryn, however, was not sold on taking over Matt’s ex’s old digs and did not hold back with her thoughts on the décor.
“The textured walls, I mean, it was probably a beautiful, beautiful house at the time. Now it seems really dated,” she remarked while scanning the living room.
Matt, 60, opened up about the memories made in the home and the remodeling the family underwent to make it what it is today.
“I mean, there’s a lot of pluses, right? It’s lowered for you. You could cook,” which Matt agreed motivated him to move out of their current home that’s under construction.
The duo then looked at the bedrooms, which also didn’t please Caryn, who said, “oh dear, I don’t even think I want to go in there.”
She admitted in a confessional interview: “Walking through it, I still feel strongly it’s probably not a good decision for so many reasons.”
Caryn went on to express her concerns about moving into a bedroom Matt once shared with his ex-wife.
“I always want to stay open-minded, but I just, I mean, this was your and Amy’s bedroom,” she told Matt.
While Amy didn’t respond to the shade, LPBW fans were unhappy with Caryn’s honesty and they said as much in an online thread.
“‘This was probably a beautiful house 20 years ago.’ Gotta love Karyn’s backhanded compliments,” one person remarked.
“I actually think Matt was legit annoyed that he couldn’t talk Caryn into assuming life in the big house. Since Matt’s taste is all over that house and they didn’t do a real update or remodel, I also suspect its not selling because its a major remodel,” said another.
“It seems such a weird choice to me that either Amy, Matt, or Zach didn’t remain in the ‘big house’ since it was already modified for a dwarf family. It just feels kind of wasteful to me; that type of remodel isn’t cheap.
“I also think calling it ‘dated’ is a stretch,” chimed in a third.
Others simply slammed Caryn’s comments as “rude.”
BOOK BACKLASH
In 2020, Matt responded to what he deemed shady comments in Amy’s tell-all book A Little Me.
During an appearance on the First Class Fatherhood podcast, the Little People patriarch said he was “disappointed” by his wife’s comments.
“I didn’t think the book was really fair to be – for me knowing her real-life story,” he said.
Matt added that there was “some disingenuous nature to the book.”
“She left out pretty major parts of her life that would have thrown balance to the story,” he said.
Matt called Amy’s book “hurtful,” noting that it took “time to process and absorb it.”
“I wish she wouldn’t have left out parts that would have changed people’s perspective on our marriage and the reasons our marriage had troubles,” he said on the show.
“I understand the marriage fell apart, in the end we grew apart.”
There has been some speculation from fans, fueled by comments from Amy, that Matt was unfaithful.
Amy previously confessed to fans in a Facebook Live session in March of 2019: “We had someone that worked for us for a very long time on our farm. And I believe, and this is all from my perspective—that there was more than just friends going on.
“And I think that evolved to a point where that got in the way of our marriage as well.”
Matt restarted his life with his former assistant Caryn after divorcing Amy.
