Brandi: Why does she bother?

Katy is totally into small titties, fwiw. Just the other day she was posting,'all I want to look at in this life is a pair of pert, youthful B-cups.'

I can't take credit for this diagnosis, someone else brought it up, but I'm pretty sure it fits.

Do I beleive alot of the things said, sure. Knowing that, would I hang out with Brandi if given the chance, sure. I don't think she's evil, I think she's a bit naive and a touch crazy, but probably very entertaining.

i'm assuming that you are unfamiliar with her exploits at nwp.

Would it be at all possible to give me a cliff notes version of the NWP scams/etc?

i didn't keep up with it and don't know how it ended, but basically she made this big thing about how she was into micon, a married man. she sent in x-rated pictures of herself and wrote sexually explicit posts. not the doings of a sweet-doesn't-want-attention-please-just-respect-me-girl.

The only thing I THINK I read by Brandi that was quite a surprise was her offering anal sex with anyone that bought her a seat in the WSOP, but I really can't be sure it was definitely her, or again, some hearsay.

[/ QUOTE ]

Funny, the only thing you think you remember reading by Brandi, wasn't written by her.
It was one of many jokes that was made by 2+2 members in response of her stating in that famous thread, that she asked Mark for anal while they were driving back to Los Angeles in his car.

Katy:

She's very attractive, does shady [censored] and probably has some kind of serious psychiatric disorder. Most of all you have to understand she's completely unaccountable, especially to this demographic. For a girl like that, in the circles in which she moves, there will always be another sucker who will give her enough of what she wants to get by. Hell, she's getting personal lessons from Old Man Sklansky, now. None of this stuff can touch her, so she just revels in it.

Do you automatically take the side of anyone who gets called out for their behavior in public, because that's 'mean?'

[/ QUOTE ]


Cardo, in a way, yes. The reason being behavior needs to be witnessed firsthand, in context. What good does it do to have all these disjointed facts and stories relayed to us by people I don't know and who's character I have no clue of. Yes it sounds pretty shady what I've heard. But I would give the girl the benefit of the doubt and reserve judgment. For example, there's a big difference between conning someone and making a horrible decision that results in the loss of someone else's money.


I love how the guys on 2+2 enjoy labeling people with psychiatric disorders. Have you ever even met the girl?! I think not, but if you have are you qualified to diagnosis her?

I agree with you that she's very attractive. I would have thought that just being incredibly cute and articulate would get her the TV camera time. Why on earth would she revel in vitriolic attention? Are you telling me she is reveling in people saying horrible things? I think she's trying to explain herself on these forums and because she hopes she can change the public opinion of her and feels she's been unfairly maligned. That's what I think.

I have this sneaking suspicion that the very same guys who are so rude to her on a message board would jump at the chance to hang out with her in real life.

katy, you seem to be rather uninformed on the situation. it is not the case that people have said things and she has denied them, leaving the casual observer to pick a side. brandi has either been the one to share the info or has verified it. there are a few details that aren't agreed upon, but even if you only accept what she has said/done it's clear that she is not an innocent.

her posts are meant to garner the exact sympathy that you display, in the hopes all other evidence will be discounted.

I think in all honesty Brandi has no core stsbility in life. She seeks validation from other people. I don't think she'll ever marry and stay with that one person for a lifetime (not that most people do). She also appears to be a pathological liar.

[/ QUOTE ]

This is really ridiculous. It's possible she doesn't have much stability. How would I know. Do you know? Maybe she's had a rough childhood and has had to figure out how to survive all on her own with little help. But none of us knows what the future will bring. I hate when people make sweeping statements about someone they don't know. How you can say she'll never marry or stay with that one person for a lifetime is mean. Maybe you didn't intend it to sound mean but I think it was way too harsh. And I don't see her as a pathological liar. Now maybe you have information that I don't have, but from what I read in the Brandi threads I just don't see it.

I wish the retarded would be smarted.

That's what I wish...

Lol, this description fits 1/2 the women that I know under the age of 25.


[ QUOTE ]
These individuals are lively, dramatic, enthusiastic, and flirtatious. They may be inappropriately sexually provocative, express strong emotions with an impressionistic style, and be easily influenced by others.

[/ QUOTE ]

hm. So you don't know her but you feel this is a good tag for her, huh. I would urge people to be careful when analyzing other people's personality flaws and slapping labels left and right. That kind of stuff gets on my nerves. I'd almost rather you call someone kooky or nutty than put a pretentious, made up psychological label on them because it has a way of sounding legitimate when it's all just speculation over a message board.

[/ QUOTE ]

I have thoughts to add to this thread, which I will try to get to later, but I just wanted to correct this...

It is not all just "speculation"... there are plenty of people who have interacted with Brandi IRL, and more that have interacted with the associated individuals in the "stories".

This is an important distinction between discussions of Brandi, and discussions of katy, on 2+2.

[katyseagull]

I was saying that it's all speculation that she has any kind of disorder at all. I mean if we're going to start pointing fingers and calling people psychological terms, probably 70% of us have some kind of disorder.

I don't want this to degenerate into trashing Brandi. I want to know if guys think that a girl can recover her reputation by responding to mean posts and trying to explain herself with gossip that's really degenerated and taken such a nasty turn. I'm the kind of person who would listen and I would weigh what she says, and I have. But it seems like once a guy's mind is made up it's made up. And the whole trashing her thing has become sport. I don't know if it's because I'm a girl or not, but I try to see both sides of the story. I try to visualize how the whole thing went down.
