The reality star is also “freaking out” about her finances after Matthew lost his job in the wake of his domestic assault case. "She really doesn’t have any other source of income and it is really expensive to live in Orange County, especially for a single mother like she is,” a source told RadarOnline.com on Wednesday, July 17.
