Sarah Ferguson Talks to Oprah

/in /by

Ferguson, Britain's Duchess of York, speaks during the opening ceremonies of the BookExpo America in New York

If there was ever a soft place to land after the shenanigans Sarah pulled, she found it in Oprah. Throughout the entire interview, I kept getting flashes of Rielle Hunter when she sat in the presence of big O. It’s like both women created alternative ways of dealing with reality. Hunter painted everything sunny when in reality it was dark and gray, where Sarah seems to disassociate herself from her scheming alter-ego, as if it were someone else and not her. It was bizarre.

Read more“Thank you for showing me [the video] because, actually, I felt really sorry for her,” said Sarah referring to herself as she watched her behavior playback on a small screen in front of Oprah.

Another time she said, “I believe from this I freed Sarah from the treadmill of her life, really.” Isn’t that a twist?

The disassociations kept coming and coming. It was surreal.

When I watched Sarah, I didn’t see a person who was sorry for her actions. I saw a woman who was trying to convince us all that, well, yeah, she messed up, but it was due to drinking, too much traveling, abuse, self-loathing, and whatnot. The excuses kept coming…

“I think I was so out of control with desperation to the point where I’d reached no return of helping my friend with the $40,000. Sort of out of my mind,” said Sarah to Oprah.

Sort of out of her mind? She is clearly hedging, saying wisps of what she knows she should, but she can’t quite claim it. I wondered, at times, too, if she was under the influence of something, because she didn’t even speak coherently. Could she have a drug problem of sorts?

“All I can know is that it happened and now I have got to go forward. Find a way forward as Sarah,” said the Duchess.

If that doesn’t hone us into what is important to Sarah, I don’t know what will: At the end of the day, it isn’t regret or remorse for her actions or owning up to what drove her.

When Oprah asked her if she was drunk, she says no, but when Oprah asked her what she drank, she couldn’t recall if it was wine or OJ. Sarah knows what was influencing her, she just doesn’t want to say, like an addict protecting their vice. I was also tired hearing about these so-called “friends”. They were a convenient excuse, too. Her sincerity in this interview fell like a brick from the 10th floor.

Its one thing to make a mistake. We can all forgive people for poor decisions in times of desperation, but when people continually walk down that path of desperation and refuse to face the music or ask for help, and dig themselves deeper with loads of B.S., we owe it to them to say STOP.

Look and listen to what you said, Sarah. Listen, read and watch your denial. Hear your words of nonsense, because if you don’t, it will only compound your problems. From where I see you sitting right now, you are on the edge of a cliff. You can either turn around now and get help, or risk falling to desperately new lows that will make you remember this pillow Oprah gave as a gift that you failed to take.

Larry James, Julie James and Jesse

Jesse James Gets Back To His Normal Life!

There is an interesting video of Larry James responding to claims by his son, Jesse, that he was abused over at RadarOnline.

Larry is relaxed and his words flow, which is supportive of honesty. When we watch his facial expressions and emotions, they, too, are supportive of his words. When we further compare his interview and behavior to James’ interview and behavior, I think it becomes clear who appears most trustworthy. It isn’t Jesse.

In the process of looking for a linkable video of Larry, I found an article by TMZ that I thought was fascinating. Jesse James’ sister, Julie, supports Jesse in that she believed he was abused.

What is fascinating, however, if TMZ’s post is accurate and truthful, it puts Jesse in a bad light. In his Nightline interview, Jesse talked of snapping his wrist when going over the fence for the ball that night his dad yelled at him. Then later, Jesse brings up that his dad broke his arm, as if to suggest it was a different incident. Well, according to TMZ and Julie, it was one in the same. Oops! Is he busted?

I wondered if these two were the same incident and according to two of Jesse’s family members, it was! It’s not looking good for Jesse. Did his sister just dig his hole bigger for him?

Susan Murphy-Milano’s Insight

/in /by

Mexico, Guanajuato, Colorful houses on hill

Susan Murphy-Milano’ writes an intriguing post about Bruce and Monica Beresford-Redman that is well worth reading. How many people travel to foreign countries, and have no idea of the laws of the country where they are going? Have you ever thought about how the laws of another country could aid a person with bad intentions and allow that person to escape justice?

Few people think about that when they travel to exotic locales for sun and fun, or to rejuvenate a troubled relationship. If you’ve never given it thought, its well worth a minute. Had Monica’s family thought about it, and considered the risks, it may have saved her life.

If you know someone who is in a troubled or violent relationship, Susan’s new book, Time’s Up, is the perfect gift. It’s also got a five star review! I love what she has come up with:

If you, as a reader, are not aware of what an Evidentiary Abuse Affidavit is, it is a formal signed and notarized series of documents, along with video testimony, that can be used in a court of law if someone in a violent relationship is either missing or murdered. It can bypass all hearsay laws because it’s done in the “potential” victim’s own voice, own words and used like a will in the event that something happens.

Have you ever seen “Locked Up Abroad” on NatGeo? It’s haunting….the stuff of nightmares. It shows how little most Americans know about foreign justice and makes you think twice of traveling, which I have always been very fond of.

Fergie Confesses Instead of Lies

/in /by

Isn’t that just slightly refreshing? She got caught red handed, being a snake, but at least she didn’t lie about it! I guess she couldn’t with undercover video, could she?

This behavior from her surprises me. She must be quite desperate. She is looking the worst I have ever seen her look before.

Jesse James Eyes: Lies?

Nightline Video: Jesse James on Abuse

Watch Jesse James in this interview with Nightline as he talks about his abuse. “I never had a chance to be a kid. I just remember the clenched teeth, the strained neck look on his face, you know?”

Read moreThe reporter says, “Did he beat you?” James responds, “He beat my ass good a bunch of times.” Isn’t that a little vague? He remembers his dad’s clenched teeth and strained neck first?

“Football star, bike builder, monster garage TV star, all that stuff is a huge smoke screen so people won’t see I’m a scared abused kid….a seven year old.”

Was he only seven when he was abused??

When James says this stuff about a smoke screen, watch for the twinkle in his eye. He is glowing when he says this and shows zero stress about painful memories liked he wants us to believe. James lied to Sandra…is he trying to pull the wool on us too?

James recounts the abuse, I guess, when he says, “I tripped over this little low fence wire and snapped my wrist and I remember my dad laughed at me when I hit the ground and called me a dummy.”

Is that the abuse? How many parents have lost it and done this to their children? While its not in good taste, we all get pushed to the edge in life at times.

James continues, “I was petrified of my dad… It wasn’t so much getting the sh** beat out of me or getting my arm broken or getting kicked or whatever or punched, it was the in-between time [smile], the fear of that happening again. I was a terrorized kid.”

Does anyone know what this means? It sounds like a bunch of bunk, if you ask me. Does this sound like the recollections of abuse? James seems to really be digging deep.

James says, “It’s really tough for me to think about now, because……….[it appears James is thinking here and then tears appear…is he working it?] Sonny was the age that I was…when my dad broke my arm.”

Whoa! Are we talking about the same incident above about the snapped wrist or this another incident? Wouldn’t that be a huge memory for you over the clenched teeth and strained neck? Why the lack of details on the biggest abuse disclosed yet?

Notice the lack of stress in his forehead through the entire segment.

James has me questioning things. Is he exaggerating, fabricating or telling us the truth? This is not a high stake lie so I don’t think we can say anything conclusively, but remember, James has already admitted he lied to Sandra a lot, should we believe him now?

Stay tuned tomorrow as I look at his dad’s side of the story…
