Is Jolin in season 4 of Amish Mafia?

Esther Schmucker, 27, and Williams - a 23-year-old rap artist who uses the moniker "Mirkat" - lived together in Strasburg, according to court documents.
So while Lebanon Levi may be a real-life, once-upon-a-time Amish person, he isn't currently Amish and the Amish Mafia simply isn't real. Police liaisons to the Amish Community from the Lancaster Country District Attorney's office have no indications of such an organization existing.
Levi admits that he isn't married, the baby is his and its mother is English.
Esther Schmucker, known simply as “Esther” on the hit Discovery Channel series, sustained multiple facial fractures in the Halloween beating. Imir Williams, a 24-year-old aspiring hip-hop artist, was convicted of repeatedly punching Schmucker inside her Strasburg home.
Discovery Channel says: “Esther is the matriarch of a once powerful Lancaster Amish family. She's known for being a strong female, something very uncommon in the Amish World.” She's actually just a normal Lancaster County girl.
