O M G!! The entire site is run by scammers! She came here and posted about death threats and got sympathy and understanding from us, talked about the threats on TV, talked about them on KK (didn't she?) and she was LYING?
Jeez. Is there even one honest person working over there on that site? How can members think for one minute that these people have their best interests at heart? Disgusting. Absolutely disgusting!

I'm not surprised that an internet psychic would lie.

Now to get the word out that SL lied on national TV. Thanks Yucky for the transcript (bolding mine)
transcript — complete Kimkins Exhausted
Quote:
J: What, your life has been threatened, your house has been bombed

TT: Her life has been threatened

SL: Mine was. They found my name and my contact info and they put it on one of the main blogs for the people opposing the diet and I woke up to one morning to harassing calls and death threats, I had to get the police involved

M: Christin, you know anything about this kind of stuff?

C: Not until it came out on the blogs, that that had happened. I didn’t know anything about that

J: Have you received any kind of threats?

C: I have received phone calls but no threats

M: And people might say

J: (unintelligible) vicious .. over diets

M: Christin, uh, when Kimkins

C: We got emailed threats

D: We got emailed threats for leaving Kimkins

I have asthmatic children. I've been dealing with what comes with that for 24 years. I can rattle off a ton of information about alternative treatments, traditional treatments, meds, tests, VCD, vocal therapy, etc. And yet, surprisingly, that doesn't make me a respiratory therapist.

So where is she? She looked ill on KTLA, posted a message or 2 the next day, and then ...silence. Did her appearance offend Red Dress Kimmer? Or was it something she said? Or was she just not a great ad for Kimkins? Or did Kimmer decide that, once her cover was blown, that she didn't need people who wanted a slice of her money and glory? Questions, questions. It would be nice to get answers soon.

Out of curiosity I looked up Tippy's profile. It says last activity was on Nov 26.
If she is banned, is she still able to log in but just not able to post? I wonder why she even bothers to log in when it's not necessary.

I don't know that I'd call it surprised. I don't know what I'd call it, actually. I gave her the benefit of the doubt. I wouldn't want to make light of something like that and find out later it had truly happened. KWIM? I didn't agree with Ducky posting her information and I felt it was a potentially dangerous thing to do on the internet. It was possible that it had happened. BUT DAYUM! I guess I'm still surprised by the length people will go to, the lies they'll tell for their own personal gain. You'd think I'd be less surprised since discovering what a piece of work Heidi Diaz is but I guess I've still, somehow, managed to see her as the queen of deception and on a level all her own. I didn't truly believe there was so much room on *that bench.
Live and learn. 48 years old and I'm still so easily taken. Jeez. I'm ashamed of myself.
ETA: I'd love to see Mike and Juliet address this on national TV.

Mrs. you're a good person who gives people the benefit of the doubt. I don't think it's something to be ashamed of.

Re-reading my first response, I think I need to edit it to be clearer in my intent.

She's MIA? She's one of the cover girls now. I noticed last time I checked that it doesn't appear that she's lost any more weight because they haven't changed her STATS. She hasn't posted since shortly after The Morning Show?

Thanks, Chelveston. You don't have to edit anything. I didn't take it badly. I just am not so happy with my gullibility, is all. I really don't want to become too cynical but how do you keep that from happening in the face of all this? I need to stop sitting on pointy fence posts and wake up.
I think what's really bothering me is that she lied to garner support and sympathy here from people she'd been unfair to at KK, people she banned without even a care for their wellbeing (me, included). And she got that. People rose above what they felt about her actions on KK and supported her despite all that.
Makes me ill!

Does anyone remember when she came here to discuss her threatening phone calls? I'd like to reread it and I can't remember. I did a search but can you search by poster? I don't know how if you can.

Actually....I just checked and SL posted the following:

11/28/2007 ---> 4 posts

11/27/2007 ---> 1 post

11/26/2007 ---> 7 posts

11/25/2007 ---> 5 posts

11/24/2007 ---> 3 posts

11/23/2007 ---> 6 posts

11/22/2007 ---> 8 posts

11/21/2007 ---> 7 posts

11/20/2007 ---> 6 posts

.... and so on going back.... she did post today that she's been dealing with a stomach bug/flu, so that might be why she only posted once on the 27th.... and you are right, nothing seems to be being posted about her home-page challenge weight loss.


HTH

I am wondering if Delaney contacted a different agency instead of the Corvalis Police.

I think her report of threats and crank calls is essentially plausible.
After all, the exposure of her personal details in such an emotionally-charged situation could bring out the worst impulses in some very angry people.

I am really wanting to believe her somehow. I want to believe SOMEbody.

I was told she is actively posting, btw, including today.

ETA: EasyPeas reported her posting already.

A self-fulfilling prophecy ... It was speculated the day of the show that she had sealed her own fate with this, and she did.

Do you know for sure that it was TT who posted her farewell message, or was it perhaps posted on her behalf ... it would serve Hidey best if it looked like leaving was her own idea ...

How wacko is this woman? Both of the people who appeared on her behalf on the show are now gone to who knows where?

ETA: Just read the update ... SL not missing after all .... so it seems ....

Girl, you need to catch up!
Some of us had already concluded that there were no foster children months ago. Actually, I didn't contribute to the fund raiser because I didn't believe she had any then.
It was months ago, we said "No foster children" and then hours later, Brandon posted about a foster brother. Prior to that, there was no mention of fosters.

My first choice was D.O. - Doctor of Osteopathy. I found, to my dismay, all of the D.O. shools in the U.S. basically mirror MD programs. In the early 70's the AMA found the D.O. License was as powerful as the MD. They approached all US schools and basically said "change your curriculum or lose your accreditation". Most changed or closed.

MD - Thought about it but did not want to be indoctrinated into the "Drugs and Surgery" model of medicine. Can you blame the MD though? The do internships and residencies in emergency room settings. If I have a knife sticking out of me the last thing I want is some herbs or acupuncture.
DO schools are not a mirror of allopathic schools. They still do teach "alternative" practises with a focus on the whole body and of course still teach osteopathic manipulation.

I imagine the reason "Dr. Mark" didn't attend an osteopathic school is the same reason he didn't attend an allopathic one (or chiropractic one for that matter)...because he was not qualified to gain admittance...and was not disciplined enough to change that and then go through the 4 additional years of schooling and at least 3 more years of training after that all real medical doctors mush complete.

I'd hate for this to have happened to her and I hate that she lied to us if it didn't. Can't win for losing.
Who else would she contact but the police? She said she contacted the police, right? If something like that was happening wouldn't the police be the ones to contact? Many years ago I was getting calls at all hours. A breather (and other disgusting sounds. Turned out he was also peeping in my windows while my husband was working at night). I called the police. They set up a phone tap with the phone company. The calls were traced, I went to court, the police were there with me and testified. I can't imagine how else it would be done or who else you'd call for something like this.
