Why the fascination with Kimmer? #8 - Page 44

Magicsmom · 10-19-2007, 09:56 PM

Well, I have always wondered if I could post this

and get you guys to believe it's me.

Just about as absurd as Hidey expecting us to believe that Lesya was her!

so then...persistent people asked her to contact some of them and ask them to come ONE time to a public chat session and answer some questions, give tips/pointers, etc. kimmer said she would contact them and ask them to do that. she came back later and said that none of them would agree to do that, but that they would be willing to answer questions via email. of course, they didn't want their emails given out, so anyone interested in asking a question could email kimmer about it and SHE would be the liasion to get answers

this is why christin became such a big deal when she showed up! she was the first "big loser" success story who actually participated on the site and had done the kimkins plan "exactly" as written. when she appeared on the scene, heidi could not wait to latch onto her and make her the new "face of kimkins"....she was confident she could get christin to do all the public relation things she wouldn't do because of her "shyness"

Cutie, thank you so much for the explanation - this is what I was wondering about.

Honeybee - I totally understand about the emotions working themselves out in your post. I feel so sorry for what that woman put you and countless others through, simply because you are trusting people who put your faith in her. I'm just sorry I stirred the pot, even unintentionally.

Something about Kimmer on LCF always rubbed me the wrong way. I just got the feeling she was a bully - if you're not doing it MY way you're not doing it right - and I always lurkingly, silently cheered at the few who were brave enough to tangle with her.

I've followed this saga with interest and although I don't post often and I was never a KK victim, I'd still like to sue her sorry behind because of what she's done to the word "shy."

I've been away from the computer enjoying a little vacation with my DH who is home after several months away for work. It's so exciting to see that the legal process is going forward!

If she truly believed she was the red dress woman than why not do interviews, talk to the news reporter, etc? All the lies are because she needed to keep up the facade.

She is not crazy. Heidi is actually pretty smart, she just got too big for her britches (pun intended

) and too greedy. I think it started as a quick way to get some money, she was anonymous on the internet, everything was fine...then it just got too big, too much publicity, too many questions...and she couldn't keep up with it all.

I feel pretty stupid and cheated that she scammed me. I would never have bought into her plan if I hadn't 'known her' online for so long that I thought she was legitimate. I don't really care about my money, I'm just glad that she will be stopped from hurting others.

ITA .. she is not crazy or mental illness. ( give me a break )
It is total DENIAL & Delusional
"Bless her heart"

to all of you.... show me the photo and while i am sniffling and blowing will look for a while tomorrow while the dish network is getting hooked up :hugs

edited for spelling... was looking like tippy there for a minute

HI Shelly- I just read the thread again and I need to add that Kimmer pic to the blog. I didn't at first because I didn't realize it was still in the newsletter section of the kimkin website, but it is so I can link it back to the Kimkins site. Here is the picture that we were talking about (click on the thumbnail).
Good Luck and I hope the mucus man moves on down the road.

Susy that struck me as the funniest thing, because it is so true. I will never be able to hear that word again in the same way.

Sorry if this is old news, but I hadn't heard it! Anybody still on board at Kimkins receive their copy? Care to share?

Seems to me it original one was a MAJOR " Cliff Notes" version - basically an email made to look like a E-book with some starvation recipes added. IIRC.. -- Sorta a CYA-E-Book of sorts

I have not seen a update of the 10/16 version??

Can't imagine what that would include.. except the - "TIPSY SLIP SLIDE-AWAY DIET " version of K's Diet?

Tipsy is riding the fence so much that I have a hard time keeping her versions straight. -- was it " TRADING PLACES"? .. CYCLING AWAY... DREAM AWAY..

Someone correct me - LOL

How are you doing with your new hubby... any regrets since you and Tom Cruise split.

kakay · 10-19-2007, 11:28 PM

Every time I go to the news video it allows me to see the lymphadema one. The kimmer one wont load for some reason. Oh well! I am so glad that they are still airing out Kimmers dirty laundry

I don't see how she is going to explain all this to a judge. She may never go to jail, probably just have to pay restitution, and her site shut down. Let's all hope she does go to jail tho and gets to sport around in an ORANGE JUMPSUIT. I bet she will always remember the name Jenessa.

Thanks Jenessa and all the ones who have worked so hard to make this happen. I wonder if the Foster kids fund raiser will ever be taken to court? I hope that all those who participated will contact the reporter. Tippy needs to check things out before she jumps into believing people. She may have done this innocently but when she found out that kimmer was scamming her into doing the fund raiser she should have come clean with every one, but NO, instead she runs right into her trap deeper. I hope she has to pay for this too. Wasn't there mention on kimkins that she is conducting another fund raiser of some sort? She will never learn her lesson. I think all the power of taking over the kimpire has truly gone to her head. Too late to clean it up tippy, all of it has already been exposed.

If I wanted to find a particular post by someone, I would try to find any post by them, then go to their user profile and search through all of their posts until I found what I was looking for. Very cumbersome, but maybe it was that way by design.

OT: I watched the LKL show tonight, too. I was also irritated that Gary didn't get to say much about his book. Dr. Oz was monopolizing the conversation

and Gary was too polite to stop him. It seemed like more of an opportunity to try to squash his book than promote it. BTW, I though Gary looked a bit annoyed, too.

The search function is still horrible if not worse and I had to do the same thing to find a member's post.

Dr. Oz was there to promote his Monday talks on Oprah IMHO and Gary wanted to discuss the facts. It seemed the valid points of the book and those made by Gary were spun into jokes to avoid the fact that science supports what Gary was stating. The circumvention of facts by jokes, may have been due to the host, or due to the fact that Dr. Oz was not there to discuss the facts at all, but again to promote his Monday's on Oprah.

Kakay you missed the late night! How are the migraines or I should say I hope there haven't been any migraines lately.

Did you try this link for the news report?
#3 The Kimmer on KTLA
Someone earlier had commented how the foster kid fundraiser fraud and the fact that Heidi Diaz has lied about having foster kids would garnish alot of attention. I think that is so true and I agree that once Tippy knew of the fraud instead of running the other way she ran towards the crime. That doesn't speak well of her character.
The hope is that the many facets of fraud that took place on kimkins be brought to light and the foster kid subject should upset the general public enough to make the "powers that be" to take notice.

Hi Cutie- Thank you for letting us know, because I was not sure of the status of the petition. I will keep posting the petition link then if the new signatures will be sent.

I hope you aren't having to complete paperwork again tonight...if so you deserve a raise or at least a vacation to let's say California.

That was because she was too shy to go to a salon...dontcha know. Just disregard the fact she is out in public now about to walk the red carpet, because Kimkins gives you selective agoraphobia.

Katinsac- I Like the new avatar, but I didn't recognize you without the duck.LOL
