We don’t really have enough to know for sure.
I am totally in agreement that FR is a fair, honest pony, and DT is a jerk, and he know she’s a bit bratty (per the end of Family Appreciation Day). But that said, FR seems also to be one to dote on his daughter, and will go to appropriate lengths to make her happy, since he is rich.
However, he does have a line that will be crossed, and betting that line will be crossed by the end of this comic and DT will get what is coming to her once FR finds out she lied/goaded him (and likely from the 3rd team member they will get). FR is not like, say, Veruca Salt’s father (from Charlie + Chocolate Factory) who seems to have no bounds to make sure his daughter is happy.
Umm-hmm, so that’s the way DT spins this for her dad, who you would think would be bothered that his daughter is messing with some of his best business partners in town.
I wonder what’s going to happen when Filthy discovers just how badly his little princess has been lying to him?

If you remember, Rich didn’t show Diamond Tiara any special consideration during Family Appreciation Day. It was often commented back then that he seemed to subvert the stereotype of a self-absorbed businessman. He was very fair in his dealings with the Apple Family, and even required DT to participate in helping them, something she clearly had absolutely do desire to do. He was basically everything the Flim Flam brothers are not.
