So I finally was convinced that Brooks faked cancer last week after giving him the benefit of the doubt all season (because who does that on a national reality show?) which resulted in a ton of people being mad at ME for believing him. (I feel your pain, Vicki). I thought the subject had been put to rest until E! News tweeted me tonight insisting I watch the show tonight and after receiving a million emails about how Brooks was never treated by City of Hope. E! News must be experiencing diminished returns on this subject if they are literally tweeting anyone who has mentioned the topic on twitter in the past week, but it seems, I’m going to watch this shit one more time. You know, in case it is not crystal clear at this point. In reality, there were still quite a few holdouts in comments here. And I can’t fault them for having a hard time believing someone would do this. I mean how does this help his life in any way? Frankly, my biggest red flag was when he said he was serious with a new woman who he had shown all of his medical records to. That seemed like bullshit right away. I can’t imagine anyone with a television who would date Brooks Ayers at this point.
Sidenote: The lead story is an exclusive interview with Khloe Kardashian. All that money and she doesn’t have a better makeup artist than this? She looks HORRIBLE. She should have washed her fact and gone natural. Under all of that glop is a pretty young woman.
They begin with a montage of Brooks saying that his oncologist is at City of Hope. He had presented a fake documents from City of Hope here. And that was when the evidence was undisputable for me. Vicki still seemed to “believe” Brooks in her most recent tweets. I have not looked to see how she is handling this latest wave of information. 
E! News has exclusively spoken with a representative of City of Hope who told them they, ” have not treated anyone by the name of David Brooks Ayers for cancer at their facility.”
So there you have it. Then they go over the fake documents. Again. Then they go over the fact that he has given multiple dates when he was diagnosed for cancer.
Sidenote: E! is milking this nonstory for all it is worth and I am fast forwarding to their next update. But I have paused on Kyle Richards who is being interviewed on what appears to be a RHOBH set!??? Is this an old interview or is she filming a party by a pool? She tells E! That her first kiss was as a teen with C. Thomas Howell who was her boyfriend at the time. She also tells a story about being at a private party as someone’s home where Prince was performing. She thought he was giving her his guitar while performing so she tried to accept it and he went on with the show and she was humiliated. Poor thing. She says her first friend on the housewives was Lisa Vanderpump they were friends before the show. Her worst friend was Brandi Glanville (the interview theme is “first and worst.”) she can’t really put her in the friend category so maybe that doesn’t count. Thanks Kyle for making this post worthwhile. I still don’t know where that interview took place. There were clearly a ton of production crew there. But I saw nary a RHOBH and everyone seemed quite…. pedestrian? Like it was mostly crew milling about and a few people who seemed to be hired as extras trying to maximize their time walking past cameras. Anyway, Kyle’s interview was like a nugget of corn in this very long piece of poo.
Okay time for the next bit of non-news about Brooks and Vicki. Now with a new graphic about Vicki with the text, What Did She Know???!!!??? Oh the drama. Are you ready for the big interview with Vicki? I’m on the edge of my seat in anticipation! Oh wait. They just put up a tweet from Vicki that says, ” I am not the one who was untruthful. I loved a man and believed him, just the way they believe their spouses.” The tweet was in all caps. Blah, blah, blah, reunion part three montage. Rehash. Rehash. Apparently, they interviewed Shannon at some point last week and she said, “Vicki Gunvalson is not a victim.” and my husband cheated on me with a chick who looks just like me but doesn’t share my mental health issues. Okay. I didn’t see that last part but I just assume it was there.
The interview says she has spoken to the trio of bitches, Meghan, Tamra and Shannon today. They all want to know what Vicki knew and how they can maximize this situation to make Vicki look worse and get them more interviews with tabloid TV shows. Wait, that last part I imagined in my head. Sorry.
They have a quote from Shannon with her stupid picture that says, ” I am still trying to connect the dots. It doesn’t make sense that Vicki would say she spent four hours with Brooks for chemo at City of Hope when he was never treated there. The truth always comes out. ”
They send us to E! Online for the statements from Meghan and Tamra.
From Meghan: “It’s a very sad and disgusting situation. I never believed I would be surrounded by such lies but hopefully now we can focus on the truth. I pray for him. I would want to tell him that I hope he finds the truth somewhere in his life. The truth will set you free.”
And from Tamra “I can’t say I am shocked. I’ve always said, If he has cancer I hope he gets better and if he doesn’t…I still hope he gets better. From day one I called him out. I felt he was a con man. I could see it in his eyes and nothing he said was making sense. He’s a charmer, but then you get to know him and after a while his stories don’t add up. In the end, I stopped questioning him as much, started accepting him for Vicki. I knew that if I let go, he would do it to himself. It’s very hard to tell exactly what Vicki did or didn’t know. My original thought was that he told her he had cancer so that she would stay with him, and at some point she figured out it wasn’t true. But then she made the decision to keep the lie going. That’s the part I don’t understand…why would someone do that?”
Oh the milk of Christian kindness these three women share with us all. Such role models in such a tragic time. Bless their hearts. Only Heather had the God given sense to shut the fuck up on this one.
The interviewer calls it one of the biggest lies in reality TV history and says that Brooks could face legal consequences for forging the medical records from City of Hope. She also talks about people with cancer following his treatment plan and those implications. One, he won’t face any charges for forging the documents. Aint nobody got time for that! And B if you base your cancer treatments on a reality show, you need to die. Darwin’s survival of the fittest should come into play. Tune in tomorrow for more! I’m not kidding. They are going to continue this tomorrow.
Please, make it stop.
“And B, if you base your cancer treatments on a reality show, you need to die.”
I bow to your wit and I applaud your sarcasm. Sip, sip. I love this site.
That is funny and so true. If youre wanting to believe a reality star is suddenly a cancer expert, instead of your doctor, youre in trouble and are ready to fall for anything and anybody. Im all for good nutrition, supplements and the like, but youve got to take all the info in and do your homework, along with your doctor for your condition.
Really??? It was advertised to the masses as a fake cancer cure. Give those that are truly dying of this disease a break vs sucking up to a blog. Those truly suffering are lolling for ANY type of hope! Don’t call them idiots for trying a scheme. Blame the schemers trying to profit!
Looking not lolling my bad in typing
Did they actually say it cured cancer? Im not on facebook and never will be , so I didnt see it myself. Its hard because, there is alot of stuff out there about supplements and making your body more alkaline helping to ward off disease. And I think there is something to that, but its not cure all for everything I know of someone who put off colon cancer surgery for a year doing altrrnative stuff and wasting away to nothing. Hes in health care. It was more about his fear than knowledge. He was really stubbourn. Finally had the surgery and hopefully will be ok. Youve got to research and probably do both. If they actually claimed a cancer cure they may be in trouble legally. Vickie and Brooks were awful and shady to lie about cancer and I never believed them in the first place.
THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ON THE JUICING SITE THAT SAYS IT CURES CANCER! JUICING IS ABOUT DETOXING THE BODY. VICKI’S TESTIMONIAL SAYS SHE LOST WEIGHT AND HAD MORE ENGERY. THERE ARE SEVERAL M.D. ON THE SITE THAT TOUT DETOXING WITH THE JUICES TO MAKE THE BODY HEALTHIER AND ELIMINATE TOXINS THAT COULD CAUSE CANCER. ANY REFERENCE TO CANCER IS ABOUT NUTRITIONAL METHODS TO REDUCE YOUR CHANCES OF GETTING CANCER. NO ONE HAS EVER SAID JUICING CURES CANCER.
JESUS CHRIST ON A CRACKER PEOPLE. KNOW WHAT YOU ARE ENRAGED ABOUT BEFORE GETTING ENRAGED.
Vicki actually did claim the juicing would cure cancer. It was on her facebook. I realize I will be banished for this but right is right. She did. She deleted it the same day she and Brooks broke up and also the same day she met with lawyers. Some people saved it though and it was sent in to the proper authorities.
Jaded, you won’t be banished, you freak. 🙂 I don’t pay attention to Facebook, so I never saw anything anywhere saying that juicing cures cancer the website certainly doesn’t say that. The doctors on the website don’t say that, it seems the only proof of Vicki saying that is non existent.
You would have to be a complete moron to think that drinking juice would cure cancer. Anyone who has cancer has medical DOCTORS who advise them on their treatment plan.
And yes, I think if you have cancer and choose to believe drinking juice cures cancer and ignore your physician’s treatment you are too dumb to live anyway. I also think that a total of ZERO people stopped their cancer treatment and relied on Club Detox to heal them.
Y’all are some ridiculous people if you believe that is happening.
There is do your research on cached pages and the recipes posted. States right in there it cures cancer among other things! Jeez, it doesn’t take an amateur to find these things much less a known blogger unless one does not want to look.
Nice that you think people should die over this! To clue you in many are already dying! To look for any hope advertised does not make them idiots or warrant their death. It makes them desperate to survive !
TT,
Yes, I am a freak that much is true and I wear it proudly. The rest of what I wrote has already been proven. As far as being a moron, sure I myself don’t believe it would cure cancer but I don’t have cancer and haven’t had to deal with doctors telling me things I haven’t been educated for 8 plus years in. Happy you responded to me. So cool!
Not only did I respond to you Jaded. I was trying to be nice. Admittedly, I’m not very good at it. 🙂
TT, you were very nice. I am a blunt person and appreciate the same. Enjoy your blog and happy you allow me to post. No one has ever accused me of being nice either and it not only does not bother me but makes me proud.
Janet, yes they actually said it cured cancer. The Facebook post is now down I believe but even Lenka (sp ??) said it did as well. Vicki was smart enough to remove that although w social media now a days you can find the cached (historical) copy stating so.
Well thats terrible and crossing the line. Vickie comes across as greedy allready *trying to screw ovee Donn financially and begrudgingly him his share )and I think shes traded on her money, fame, and the oppourtunitues that come with that, as an inducement to keep Brooks with her. A very desperate woman.and Brooks is perfect karma for that.
lenka stated she had borderline cancer on the club detox website
And to TT as well. I will leave this blog. I know you don’t care. But to give a known liar the benefit of the doubt but to then say any poor soul, who has probably done all the chemo they can, that they can die for believing in a mass advertised cute? Man, they were only looking for hope unlike others
Cure not cute
Fucking how insensitive! No matter who wrote it. It’s okay to give Brooks (who has lied repeatedly in the past about cancer) the benefit of the doubt but those that are truly dying of cancer should die for believing what was massed advertised to the public as a cure. Am I hearing you right?????
This was a response to Marie btw
Response is to Marie
God, would you fucking go away already! Do us a favor and stop talking.
My thought when I saw E’s tweet -more TT’ers!! Every click counts, even if it’s over this same bs!
I love you, Tara! xoox
How can he show his face in public after this?
I was one of those people who refused to believe that anyone would fake cancer and having lived with a father and son who had/have the disease I am disgusted that I witnessed this farce. I don’t know what sickness lingers in Brooks’ head to make him do this but it is just as insidious as cancer itself. I don’t know if Vicki knew that he was faking and what her motives were but I also feel sorry for her for having to go along with this in order to continue filming a reality show, earn a paycheck and get obviously much needed attention. Despite the trickery I still feel that the other women on this show acted in a horrid, uncaring manner and that they also did what they did for attention and a paycheck. All of them should be ashamed and all of them should be fired. I never want to hear or see any of them again. Brooks will pay his dues in some way for his sick behavior and I am done with the subject and everything that surrounds this awful example of fame-whoring. You were right to hold out Tamra before making a judgment because it is never right to accuse someone of faking such a horrid disease without proof. It just showed that you are a compassionate soul, unlike the cast members of The Real Housewives of OC. They accused BEFORE they had proof and that was cruel. No one won here and everyone lost, including the audience. Now they simply need to disappear and stop talking. lying and gloating.
Agree! Except I think Vicki abd Bravo knew! Which is more disgusting!
And when one crus wolf too many times with faked cancer lines dating back to the early 2000, one questions. With no obvious question of lying before in someone’s past it wouldn’t even have been thought of!
Who knows!!!!
“Only heather had the God given sense to shut the fuck up on this one”
Bahaha!! ?
She is busy counting her bathrooms
I still think that if Vicki had kept her mouth shut about Terry being involved and if Brooks hadn’t name dropped that one doctor, naming Heather as his patient, Heather would have waited even later to chime in… and would have continued to give Vicki, if not Brooks, the benefit of doubt.
Now Vicki is going to have to face What did she know, and when did she know it questions for a very long time.
Tamara, I am so sorry that you have to watch and recap this. I love your blog and do not believe a word Brooks says, but even I couldn’t get through this post. If me reading the recap was too much to handle, I cannot imagine how annoying/exhausting it would be for you to have to write about all of this nonsense!
Like, we get it! He faked cancer and some people gave him the benefit of the doubt and some didn’t. But at this point, we all agree he doesn’t have cancer. It’s time for E! to just let this subject go to rest so you Tamara don’t have to keep reporting on it.
Hopefully this is E’s last post about Brooks and we can all just let him and his fake cancer go.
And WTF? People were seriously giving you a hard time because you gave Brooks the benefit of the doubt on your OWN blog?! Really?
People need to go elsewhere if they are looking for a neutral based site. It clearly states that in the commenting rules.
It’s a violation of hippa to discuss someone’s medical records, history,etc. if the city of hope discussed anything about Brook, he can sue them. Brooks would have to sign a medical release form for medical professionals to answer any questions pertaining to him being treated or not treated. If he’s scamming everyone who’s looking to get answers could possibly face a lawsuit due to hippa guidelines so if I was an Orange County housewife I would tread carefully, because we would never know if he is telling the truth but researching to deep might co$t you some money.
We require a certain level of intelligence to post here. If you have never treated a patient, there is no HIPPA violation in saying “that person has never been treated in out facility.” If you insist on posting here, try to be smarter. Or quieter.
What????? Did you not read what Tamara posted above? Brooks was NEVER a patient at City of Hope. Brooks said he was treated at City of Hope and forged documents using their logo. Oh, forget it. You can’t fix stupid.
There were no fucking medical records so no HIPPA violation sheesh!
I have to say I too believed he had cancer. I thought only a menace to society and a stupid head would fake cancer on a national tv show with so many rabid inquisitive fans. SMH I excused the wonky docs thinking he merged stuff to hide medical and identifying financial information he deemed sensitive.
That said I am gullible enough to think he set up workaholic Vicki in the waiting area while he ‘got chemo’…. at the nearest strip club for 2 hours then they told everyone who would listen that they were there for 4 hours. I don’t believe Vicki was an original conspirator of this plot.
It’s annoying that Meghan was right. It’s kind of like when you are having an argument with your partner, you’re really angry but then you realise you’re wrong – but you don’t wanna stop being mad at them, because menses, and fuck you.
Also, I don’t understand the colour scheme bitching. Who the fuck cares? There are more important things to worry about.
You can right your blog in your own blood and feces for all I care. As long as you keep serving tea and I get to drink it!!! 🙂
ITA. Tamra Judge posted irritating article after article today of TOLD YA SOOO’S, I WAS SO RIGHT!!! with all her Christian (sarcasm) rantings and everyone was kissing her ass in the comments. Don’t encourage this. Way to stay classy. Oh wait…she never had an ounce. I hate the bitches were correct. I hate worse that they gloat.
I cannot believe that there are Tamra Judge fans out there .. when you say people are kissing her arse on Twitter, I could vomit. I always see negative, horrid tweets sent her way and it warms the heart that people have this wretched fame whore’s number.
Tamra Judge is a great role model of compassion and charity. -rolls eyes- She is just glad the Brooks mess is causing medis deflection from her parenting skills, drunken behavior, and the propensity to add strap ons to her outfits.
It’s hard to believe Meghan because she had it in for couple since Brooks befriended her husband. Tamra planted the seed and sit back and watched the other wives harvest it. Tamra wants to get rid of Brooks but she doesn’t want to lose Vicki also. Vicki was Tamra’s sugar momma until Brooks came along.
Okay, what I don’t get is what’s so great about being “right” in a situation like this? The only time that would matter is if someone was scamming you out of your money. Know-it-alls piss me off. So you were right. Yeah? And? Does that mean anything other than that you’re a busybody bitch? I’m talking about Meghan, Shannon, and Tamra. Such a waste of time.
Minky, I totally agree. That’s what I’ve been saying since this all came out that Brooks was lying about his cancer. Vicki has lost all credibility as she should for going along with this scam. This was wrong on all levels and I am so disappointed that people would sink so low. However, Tamra, Shannon, Meghan and even Heather have gloated, felt themselves so superior and acted like they were ready to burn Vicki at the stake for being a heinous bitch. In my opinion if someone is going to start burning heinous bitches at the stake, they all might need to worry.
Bravo planted the seed and used the dumb asses accordingly! Bring back the fun and leave out this cancer storyline BS or I’m out! I have to deal w this shit in real life. I want mind numbing tv or if you are going to bring up cancer let it be for the good of awareness! Not the good of lying about it for profit and gain.
Also what I don’t get is people saying it was okay to give Brook the benefit of the doubt but god forbid those idiots that truly do have cancer (previous posting words , not mine) that believed in a possible alternative cure. They were just looking for hope who unlike Brooks and Vicki were looking for profit!
MEK tries to act as if she discovered all this on her own. She didnt! She got it from the internet, a blog. The same way she got his x girlfriends info, the same way she got her medical justice license. I can’t like her, I am a bitch like that.
A little off topic but not really, did they ever air Andys interview with Brooks? Its not like I need to see it (but I will), but they plugged the hell out of it and the reunion was weeks ago. Seems like it should’ve aired by now.
Not yet, but soon. His behavior was fishy to me quickly. I’m a cancer survivor, and it’s come back multiple times.. just like he’s claimed for himself. I’ve also had the scan he claimed to have. I’ve also had a lot of MRIs and CTs. NONE of my reports have looked like that (backing up Shannon’s argument). When I saw what he gave as ‘evidence,’ I almost fell off my couch.
The little bits of his interview they aired during the reunion were… interesting. Dude was so angry, he looked like he was about to jump out of his skin. (HELLO… GUILTY!!) It will be interesting to watch now knowing he’s lying the entire time.
BUT, I agree with Miss Tamara.. After this, dear baby Jesus, please no more. The only reason I’m allowing the Brooks bashing is because I’ve never liked that slimy SOB from the beginning. Hello… KARMA.
Agree on his body language in what was shown of the interview with Andy. Big gulps of water, fidgeting, etc. He literally looked like he was in a hot seat.
The interview with Brooks will air on Thursday, Nov. 12th at 9 pm. EST on Bravo.
Faking cancer is the lowest of lows but, Shannon, Tamra, and Meghan all live in glass houses. They need to slink away into obscurity. All of this is sickening.
All three of them are faking a bunch of stuff too. You know what they say: It takes one to know one. The worst is Tamra’s finding religion. I wretch every time I think about it.
But seriously what does one do now after faking cancer like this??
What’s his next move? I cannot even imagine. This is so gross. Way to sell your sole.
Run for political office, obviously.
Without shoes, apparently. lol
LOL /highfive
(Snare drum).
Rim shot! Thank you, Maisey! Although I must admit the first thing that came to mind was a white fish. 🙂
I would buy new shoes and run far far away !!!!!!!
Bravo is behind the curve showing the Brooks interview on Thursday night. Whatever Brooks said 4 or 5 weeks ago isn’t relevant any more.
TT – thanks for watching so that we don’t have to!
Well, I didnt want to be right about Brooks, but Ive seen too much with creepy guys, and he just was not genuine acting ,or really there for Vickie. Was also obvious that their feelings werent matched, seemed that Vickie was over the moon infactuated, and him , not so much. With his history, and his womanizing I just felt he was using her. Youve got to be so careful these days, you just cant give so much of yourself and wear your heart on your sleeve like Vickie has. The man needs to show you his intensions and that hes sincere, and needs to have a good reputation of being a good man.
The bravo reality shows are about as real as the wwf wrestling. In fact those women of RHOC posture like wrestlers.
Totally good observation. It’s all a big put on. I agree.
That’s what I told my hubby! He likes Top Chef and The people’s couch. Since I am done with the HW franchise I still watch Ladies of London and Below Deck for the travel and fun!
WWE is way more entertaining than the housewives.
Someone i know said that Brooks is so bad at this that he pull a My Cousin Vinny” lie. Lmao! Remember when Joe Pesci got busted by the judge, herman munster, about his name and he said “no im not Jerry Callo, Im Jerry Gallo!” Lol maybe Brooks will say.. “no i didnt get treated at City of Hope! Did yall think I said City of Hope? I said City of the Pope!” I got treated in the city of the pope in Rome!!” Lmao!!
Love “City of the Pope!” Then we can wait for, “No, not that Rome…Rome, Georgia. And it was the Pope…Dr. Pope, a world famous alternative rag and bone healer in Rome, Georgia. Here, you can check my Bojangles receipts…I was there.”
Lol Lizbeth!! Exactly. I dont put it past him at this juncture.
How about City of Nope. As in: “Nope, no cancer. I was just playin'”.
I love you Minky. That is all.
isnt kyle working on a sitcom or other type of show as a producer? maybe she was filming that and not a rhobh scene? that would account for the production crew.
This is just so embarrassing. I cringe after every “new development.” I don’t think it proves very much when the evidence is shown that he has never been treated for cancer. OK, he almost certainly does not have cancer but I’ve never seen clearer evidence that someone is deeply mentally ill than to invent cancer, and expensive and intense treatments, and research and forge medical documents, and to go on several TV interviews and lie about it repeatedly. Something is TERRIBLY wrong with someone who is capable of doing that.
I, too, felt pretty stupid when it started becoming very clear he was a lying liar who lies. About cancer. Cancer. But honestly if this had happened to one of my friends, I don’t imagine feeling anything but immense pity and compassion towards the woman who got duped into believing him and lost everything, including her dignity and credibility in the process. Like a lot of women, I’ve had the great luck to have been in a relationship with a shady character, and I remember that despite the enormous body of evidence that kept dropping into my lap about this person, I kept believing him. I really did. It’s incredibly embarrassing, and I was young, but I still look back at myself not with self-hatred but pity…because I can see that it was so hard for me to accept that I had been tricked, duped, lied to, and taken advantage of that I willed myself into believing this person and challenged relationships with people who loved me…all to preserve my sanity in processing pain and betrayal. You have to be pretty desperate to do something like that. And for someone coping with the sudden death of a parent and probably experiencing some regression, it doesn’t surprise me at all that this was how she reacted when she kept seeing the red flags.
Tamara, I’m so glad that you’re pointing out how awfully these women are behaving towards their “friend” instead of primarily focusing on Vicki’s admittedly incredibly stupid behavior and making her out to be some conniving monster. I’m no fan of hers, but watching a group of women turn on one of their own when she’s already at her lowest and at her worst just turns my stomach. For some reason when the women were having at it with Tamra last season I didn’t feel that way at all. Probably because even then I don’t think her feet were sufficiently held to the fire with everything she has done over the years. And she’s spent this whole season showering herself with vindication, as if it hasn’t been proven time and again that she is a vicious, backstabbing, nasty woman who seems incapable of sincere friendships. Everyone has been pointing this out, but for someone whose entire storyline was about being “born-again” and a Christian this season, this is just unkind on the most basic level.
Alessa, that is the only reason I dont judge Vickie harshly. Ive been there too and I wasnt even that young (35) when I had my own Brooks experience. My ex makes Brooks look like Mike Brady from the Brady Bunch. I believed him over everything and everyone. I was powerless. I was so shaken to my core when I finally started to see who he was, I swear I developed PTSD. It was traumatizing. I know what it feels like to have all the proof in the world at your feet and its meaningless because you want to believe in that man. It can turn a smart, strong woman into a helpless idiot.
I alternate between judging Vickie, and feeling sympathy for her. Ive been played before as well, not to that level (im not as wealthy and also wont spend any money on a man ever so it doesnt matter),but I know how much it hurts. Its a tough life lesson to learn, that there are men who will pretend to care abiut you,and say anything, to string you along for selfish cruel reasons. Im so glad to be out of that dark place now, and I want that for Vickie too.
Aw Lisa… I’m sorry you had that experience too. Not surprised about the PTSD–it rocks your world and it probably took a really long time before you could trust people again.
….So I guess Andy Cohen’s interview with Brooks that is scheduled to air on Thursday is a pretty much null & void now and total waste of time. I bet Andy is fuming at E! ……
Exactly. and E! is part of the his network
Ah, but now there are even more viewers “invested” in the fake cancer story, so perhaps the pre publicity will give Andy a ratings spike.
Ding ding ding!!!!
I am VERY disappointed that Meghan’s statement wasn’t simply JUSTICE.
Yasss!
I’ve done a mean tweet or two to both of them. I’ve tried to feel badly about that but I don’t. I’m in the camp that Vicki knew and kept it going, she says she’d hoped that others would come to like him. I’m happy he’s getting outed in this form. I’m sure I’m in the minority but sorry not sorry.
You ate not!!!! When Brianna had her thyroid cancer scare Vicki was all up in that business. You can’t tell me she wasn’t the same for the man she loved. Waiting in a faked waiting room bs going to the chemo room in a fictitious hospital ( city of hope) that never even saw him…. Come on now people! Let those truly dying of this disease get the attention!
“And B if you base your cancer treatments on a reality show, you need to die. Darwin’s survival of the fittest should come into play.”
Yes!
I really think Brooks and Vicki did this for two reasons. 1. Garner sympathy for Brooks so he wasn’t the bad guy anymore. 2. Perpetrate a fraud that this club detox stuff kills and/or prevents cancer cells from growing. I’m not a lawyer, but I think Brooks could face charges for forgery (it’s a misdemeanor in Texas to sign a doctor’s name to a piece of paper when they didn’t sign it, idk about in California, but I agree TT nothing will happen there). What may happen to both Vicki and Brooks is the FDA may come after them for how they promoted club detox (a la Kim K and her anti -nausea med promotion on social media) and I think if it’s bad enough the Feds would jump at a chance to take down a reality star.
While I kinda agree with your Darwin statement TT something inside me is just disgusted that Brooks/Vicki would take advantage of the last resort of dying people to make a quick buck. Snake oil salesmen are just the lowest of the low, and that is what I think they did here.
Sorry, I just don’t think a Bravolebrity is important enough to interest the FDA. They did go after Dr. Oz, well, Congress did. Big difference between Andy Cohen and Dr. Oz.
Andy Cohen is more like one of the flying monkeys in Oz.
Teresa was.. Fraud is fraud and medical fraud like this really irks the FDA. Like I said it will all depend on how much they made and what they said and how often. Since it is on tv, I will bet there is a fed somewhere looking into it.
SMH.
Seriously. Being giant douchebag is not a crime. Neither is fucking one.
I don’t believe for one minute that Vicki was just supporting the man she loved, that’s a really pathetic excuse. You don’t live with someone claiming to have cancer and not know one way or another. She knew and she was a very vocal and willing participant right up until the end. The Club Detox endorsement deal is proof of that. She didn’t just quietly stand behind her man, she shouted down everyone else, happily encouraged the hate-fest towards Meghan on twitter early in the season hoping she would have no credibility later on when they started questioning the fake cancer and she actively sought to make some money out of this.
Umm.. Am I the only one who doesn’t know what Club Detox is? Did they promote this on the show? Was I too drunk one night??
Didn’t they get / almost get in trouble a few years ago because of her booze business? Shady. Shady…
LOL just one night? 😉 They were promoting from the get-go – all that juicing they were doing? Lenka who owns/runs Club Detox appeared with the a couple of times, one being the “Doctor” visit. Vicki’s mush is all over their website promoting it and at the beginning of the season she was endorsing it as a cure on her own FB page. Shady is right!!
Point blank for stage III NHL you would need a port which would be visible to those that live and sleep next to you in bed. Maybe if he said stage I where you could get away with an intravenous method , it could fly. But not stage III. Even if she didn’t go to the treatments she would still see this since he supposedly started chemo in Oct and they were living together by Thanksgiving. Those that truly do know what occurs can attest that this is fiction!
Act III will be Brooks’ faking amnesia. Vicki who? How did I get here? I was drugged and in a fugue state for the past _____[fill in the blank] and didn’t know what I was doing.
It’s scary how pathological liars/abusers like Brooks can literally convince themselves they won’t get caught and actually seek the spotlight, exposing themselves to scrutiny. He really thought he could pull this shit off. It’s beyond nuts.
Even though I thought early on that Brooks was faking and that he was perfectly capable of trying a con of this magnitude, it was hard to flat out say the words. I understand giving him the benefits of the doubt as long as you did TT. Vicki is the one I’m outraged at.
Vicki is the OG of lies and hypocrisy. Her lies have never been this outrageous. I think she was in on it from the beginning. If Brooks had pulled the cancer card on you before, why in the world would you believe him again? I have no sympathy for her at all. You reap what you sow Vicki.
I agree. I never believed either of them.
I just want this to all go away. Yes, it can be said that those believing in a fake cancer cure from tv are idiots but those idiots truly do have cancer and are looking for any hope possible! It was advertised to the masses as such they Bravo and social media. Just plain wrong!
Thank you Chloe! People may be stupid for listening to a Reality Star but if you are dying of cancer you may just grasp at straws. Does that make you wrong or the exploiter wrong?
That makes the cancer patient a fucking moron.
All for ratings no matter who is dying from it. Fascinating that the sister station outted him! You cannot say they Bravo or Vicki did not know. Well I suppose you can but you’re an idiot if you do not see the writing on the wal! Go club detox, go ratings and dragging this out, go more money. Poor souls who truly are fighting for their life with cancer!
Hmmmm…..first promoting vodka, then a detox club.
What’s next? A tattoo parlor then laser removal clinic?
They sure understand the after market concept.
Maybe now they should go on “To tell the Truth”
I agre! That will be next… A tell all from Brooks about Bravo manipulating the storylines for ratings!
I would imagine all of this would affect her insurance business somewhat. I sure would not want to buy insurance from this woman.
You’ve had a busy week, Tamara, keeping up with all the reality tv shenanigans. Kind of funny how the real drama starts once they lose their spot on the show…
You know, I never doubted that Brooks was capable of lying, but I did believe him because I saw no end game in it for him. But I guess a liar is gonna lie.
People weren’t really mad at you for believing him, they were mad because you had to be so freaking nasty to most everyone about it. Just sayin.
Correct, I was never mad at TT, I was mad because I disagreed and got banished or voicing an opposing opinion. Again, it’s her blog so she can do/show what she wants. I’m loud, obnoxious at times, but whole heartily agree w most of her opinions (except this one)!
I looked it up. The last day of filming was May 5, 2015 and this vacation is in August 2015. Does that mean that Vicki and Brooks went on a vacation to Mexico after this fiasco?
Oh, and I have become borderline obsessed with Shannon. She is super duper cray cray to me. She yelled at her husband’s girlfriend at the USC game a few weeks ago. Then it came out that her husband’s mistress/twin had season tickets and they were better than Shannon’s. The girlfriend attended the games in 2014 with Jeff Lewis because (note I am no longer doing the b/c thing now that I know you hate it, TT) I guess her husband wasn’t so happy with her having an affair. Last weekend Shannon tweets out that she’s at the game with her good friend, wait for it…Jeff Lewis. People that is the definition of cray cray in my book. I don’t usually curse but that bitch is crazy!
@Peachteacher, I don’t get what you’re trying to say about the mistress. Not trying to be rude, I really am curious. As far as Jeff Lewis and the Beadors, he did say when he was on WWHL that they are friends and that he loves Shannon. For the record, I can’t stand Shannon and think she’s cray, cray as well!
Sometimes Peach just likes to spout off crap she has read elsewhere instead of reading the posts on the subject here, It’s annoying. But I just ignore it. Perhaps she can’t navigate to the commenting rules on her device,
“And B if you base your cancer treatments on a reality show, you need to die.”
I’m assuming TT wrote this and I gotta say I’m really disappointed you would type that. That’s really insensitive even for you Tamara.
I agree Rel, see my first post. To think someone that would give a know liar the benefit of the doubt but to then turn around and say hopeless cancer patients should die for believing in a mass advertised cure is beyond me. Done w this site!!!
Chloe, you promised to leave. So let me help you. Please stop fucking emailing me as well. You just got yourself out of the WSL before and I should have known you were there for a reason. The very first post you made when your privileges were restored was to bitch about the site.
Today you send me an email about how glad you are you can post here again. Then I get to the site and see DOZENS of comments ranting and raving like a goddamn lunatic.
PLEASE get the fuck out, don’t come back, don’t read here, find one of the many sites on the Internet formed to discuss what a bitch I am and for the love of God STOP SENDING ME YOUR RETARDED EMAILS.
Not to be insensitive, because I respect your opinion (and I also cringed a wee bit with our TT’s bold statement); however, she puts up with all of our vitriol and over-the-top opinions while managing to slay us with her quick and biting retorts. That’s what I expect from her blogs and comments, mixed in with fellow-feeling and compassion. So, again, not to be rude, but you keep saying your “done” while continuing to linger and lament. It’s hard to give it up, isn’t it?
Does anyone really care ?? Not anymore. The entire show we got not an answer. Not even mow. Just speculation. No proof, really not an ounce of proof, he does or not. Television reality show has sunk to a new level. Cancer and Tamra with her baptism. Is that all there is??
Actually the response is to TT as well. If you can give a well known liar the benefit of the doubt but state that those suffering from cancer can die if they believe in a mass promoted advertisement as a cure, well then I am out from this blog! The difference is he was a well known liar and their are truly people dying(on chemo) that are looking for any last hope/ product. Shame on YOU!!!
Felicia just called me.
She told me to tell you “Bye”.
Chloe, if you hurry, you can catch the next bus out of here at the fabulous Chateau Sheree bus stop.
Oh la la! It’s Wednesday and the sunset approaches. Tell Kathy Bates to wake UF. Beware the night Bravo, the ratings for AH must haunt you in your sleep. You stink worse than road kill for this rotten bullshit. Anyway can we get an AH- men.
TD, don’t you wish they would play AC/DC’s Night Prowler? So perfect!
Thinking more along the lines of Liar by Queen.
Liar by Queen for Vicki of the OC and Night Prowler by AC/DC for AHS.
I’m really new to this blog, I discovered it about 4 or 5 months ago (I think) but what does WSL mean? Sorry but everyone kinda keeps saying and I feel lost 🙁
Well…….it’s kinda like a vacation home.
Without the vacation.
With lots of windows!
I don’t like to feed the trolls, but will make an exception in your case.
First, if someone is stupid enough–even if they are unfortunate enought to get cancer–to buy juice for the cure because Brooks and Vicky tell them to, they need to get out of the gene pool.
Second, please go.
