I was once asked if there was a charity that a small contribution could be made to on my behalf, well I can't think of a better use of that offer than this one, thats of course if the offer is still open??
Fair enough Patricia, I just feel a little helpless as others do, her last post is heartbreaking in its implications, Journalism is a cornerstone of democracy, but gutter press is its undermining. Terrible situation to find yourself in.
I know exactly what you mean. I'm just more of a planner than you. I'm not going to go into it all here, but I have PM'd Isabel and explained how I will try to help... It's just going to take a few days of enquiries before I know the best way to help, if you follow me.
I saw part of the show. A couple of idiots trying to play at being journalists. It was too embarrassing to watch for long especially when it was obvious that Patricia was not going to feature. Was Isabels real identity exposed. I cannot remember which girl I saw but I thought that she came across well and I had thought that it might have generated extra business for both the girl and E-I. The show was a joke but was there much real damage done? I ask because I did not see it all
Totally, I cannot think of a better ally for her to have… but if it happens or a fund for her immediate practical needs is set up, I will contribute for one, the forum should step up to the plate on this and look out for one of its own, who else will ?. I know they won't be found wanting.
Highest respect…QPH…
Dreamon, is that by name and nature ?
Have you read her Post ?
Lost her Boyfriend/Family Issues/Apartment lost and financial loss, and the personnel strain is incalculable, how in the world could she have “gained” from it, respectfully read again, properly this time, and apologize to her. She does not need those comments on top of everything.
!st of all Isabel I want to join in the condemnation of these sleazebags. In their ignorance and stupidity they think that by destroying 1 girl trying to make a living they somehow enhance their reputation as "journalists". Most of them wouldn't recognise a journalist if he/she jumped up and bit him on the arse. Probably motivated more by voyeurism than journalism they pick on easy prey and destroy her.
2nd of all Isabel, don't worry about it.Things like this are really a 7-day wonder, and people really do forget very quickly.
If your family have been damaged or hurt its unfortunate, but again they'll get over it. As someone who was once the victim of unethical journalism let me assure you things really will return to normal a lot quicker than you could possibly imagine now.
Get over it! The sooner you do the sooner everyone else will 2. Put it down to experience. Get back to a normal lifestyle.
I've never had the pleasure of meeting you, but if I ever get the opportunity I'll certainly avail of it. So you see, publicity, whether wanted or not, can never be wasted! Good luck gorgeous!
