2Big says “you know as the paid PR person for the company TT was paid to represent she didn’t do anything on the show any other PR rep would not have done.”

Wow 2Big you’ve got a really low opinion of PR reps. News for ya — Tippy did a bunch of stuff that NO other PR rep would do. SOME PR reps have integrity, honesty, and class.

But oh yeah we forgot — you’re the Generalizationer.

Great question, Mariasol — will Tippy answer it? Will she answer it honestly, straightforwardly, and without some attempt at blaming anyone else?

My question is along those lines…. will we ever get an account of her involvement in KK in a way that doesn’t smear others? Saying “look over there at that person….look how bad that person is” does not build you up. It shows people what you are, and it certainly doesn’t answer the questions they have.

I agree with Mayberry. TT’s “apologies” are very little and very late, but not necessarily too little and too late. My complaint lies with the fact she insults in public, and apologizes in private. The reverse is a better order. But she is trying to do right by her campers nutritionally, and that’s commendable. Trouble is, does this now make her a “Don’t do as I did, do what I say” person?

Mariasol,

Thank you for your dead-on analysis of TT’s answers to my blog questions. I was so shocked at actually hearing from her, that I accepted what she said at face value. I DO think in her own TT way that she’s trying to make amends. Some people just CANNOT let themselves say flat-out “I screwed up and it’s all my fault. Please forgive me.” I think we’ve gotten as close to that with TT as we’re gonna get.

That being said, I’ll take her actions of cooperating with the lawsuit anyday over someone who apologizes to take the heat off themselves and doesn’t mean a word of it. Sort of like when Kimmer asked, “Is it too late to take that back?” Actions DO speak so much louder than words.

Oh, Kat – I can’t imagine how you and others that actively participated at Kimkins feel when hearing things like this. Me, I’m just annoyed at being called “bad people”.

I’m a little upset that it took AmyB to open Tippy’s eyes…what happened to all the other people who left or were banned BEFORE Amy? What were they? chicken soup? I know Amy was popular over there but Tippy had to know many others in her dealings over there that she trusted and believed. I think it is a cover-up. Just using a name of someone who is well known in the compound. Tippy, you knew all along but didn’t want to admit it. I also think you need to come clean and just say you fell for the scam like everyone else, however, you did go in knowing how much of a scam it was and I’m sure that was for the money. I’m happy you are coming clean and trying to set some stuff straight and help KK survivors at your site. However, you really do need to admit you were wrong in all of this and not just say “Heidi told me what to say”. We know that is true, that was your job but I’d sure feel guilty now, lieing on National TV. Job or now job…I couldn’t do it.

I do apprecitate you trying to help now though.

you know as the paid PR person for the company TT was paid to represent she didn't do anything on the show any other PR rep would not have done. They are all sock puppets for their companies if you want to use that term. The speak the company lin and try to make the company look the best it can period.
And when she found out later that day well actually during that show when the statemment kimmer had told her would be on the website was not on the website she started to realize maybe something isn't right here and took steps to remove herself from Kimkins.com.
Since she harmed deni and christin with her commnets on the show and they have accepted the apolgy she gave them privately it is I nor anyone else who mearly felt indignation over the treatment they recieved from her on that show who are owed one.

Yes, Tippy remains an enigma. An enigma, wrapped in an excuse, inside a bikini, with a side order of greed. We do NOT want fries with that.

Mariasol–I know Tippy went into Kimmerland after much had already been discovered about Heidi and her lies. And I know that Tippy has had some less-than-wonderful encounters with moderators and several other folks from LCF.

I don’t know what her motives were then and I don’t know what they are now. She was transitioning into maintenance and, believe it or not, that’s a very vulnerable time. You pat yourself on the back for being a success, but you panic every time you see the scale go up thinking that maybe you’re going right back to where you were before. You want to help others be successful, while you live with the fear that maybe your successful new house might be built of straw.

At any rate it seems like we are showing unnecessary roughness toward Tippy when we talk about her. We need to be careful, but at the same time, could we also be a little more gentle?
