How To Embarrass A Former NBA All-Star
This is quite possibly one of the best things I have seen in a long time. Ladies, I know you want to cut off your man's business or superglue it to his thigh when he strays, but all that is going to do is get you tossed in jail. This on the other hand is priceless and for a few bucks you can make your man feel like a big piece of crap and not want to show his face in public ever again.
Oh, and guys it works for you as well. Please don't hit your significant others if they cheat, just shame them with a banner flown in the sky.
At every beach in Southern California this weekend, a plane flew this message back and forth. People who had no idea who Reggie Miller was do now. People who had no idea he hit on married women do now. All weekend long he was the topic of discussion.
The reason for the sign is supposedly because Reggie has been making the moves on his neighbor Ali Kay. Now Ali isn't actually married, but she is engaged to Diane von Furstenberg's son Alex. (The couple is pictured below) I think the banner would lose some of its oomph if it said he needed to stay away from engaged women. Married sounds much more damaging.
So, Reggie met this woman at a grocery store. Somehow he got her phone number. Bad move on her part because Reggie then texted her and called her and almost had a restraining order filed against him. Then, when Ali's boyfriend confronted Reggie about it, Reggie threatened violence against Alex if Alex kept trying to stop him from making the moves on Ali. Umm it is his fiance' Reggie. Back the hell off.
I thought that was all taken care of but maybe not. Reggie apologized to Alex so maybe Reggie is hitting on other married women now. You would think he would learn his lesson.
This is priceless. This is what I should have done to my cheating ex-husband and his now-wife! Hah!
ReplyDeleteI totally saw that and wondered who Reggie Miller was, but figured he was either some sports guy I wouldn't care about or was a promotion for an upcoming movie. In any case, I forgot to Google it when I got home.
ReplyDeleteBAHAHAHA!! Love it. And I thought signing up a douchebag's email address to countless email subscriptions would be good revenge. This is way better.
ReplyDeleteI'll betcha he didn't stop, and this is probably either Alex or Ali's idea. Brilliant! :-)
ReplyDeleteThis beats the PETA banner I saw at the beach in San Diego.
ReplyDeleteI remember Ali Kay was the "other woman" when Alex was still married to Alex Miller...yawn
ReplyDeleteHOW EXACTLY DID HE GET HER NUMBER ?
ReplyDeleteWow. A douchebag athlete. Shocking.
ReplyDelete*crickets*
I WAS GOING TO SAY..... clearly Kay's standards weren't as high when she began seeing Alex while he was married.
ReplyDeleteKarmen,
ReplyDeleteGo to the library and get the subscription cards from all of the magazines and use their business address.
Child abuse, domestic violence, elder abuse, whatever - these secrets depend on people keeping quiet and, by default, protecting the predators. Expose these people to the light of day and they die just like bacteria.
ReplyDeleteAs far as I'm concerned, Reggie Miller is OJ except Reggie hasn't gotten around to actually killing anyone yet. I HATE MOTHER FUCKERS who prey on the vulnerable and thank G-d there are people out there who wield an iron fist and refuse to be victims.
You miscalculated, Reggie. These New Yorkers ain't your bitches. Run, Reggie, run and hide behind your lawyer like the goddamn pussy you are.
IMO Reggie Miller is a egomaniac, ball-hogging doofus who chokes in the clutch.
ReplyDeleteAlso he looks like a bald troll wearing billy-bob teeth.
If this dude's chick is letting Reggie get her number and persue her, then she is probably just another dumb star-fucker. Sounds like Alex couldn't keep his pee-pee in his pants either, though, so I guess what goes around comes around.
Wait, it said they were neighbors, right? It sounds to me like she was being neighborly, not trying to get into his pants. I'm probably being naive, but that's something dumb I'd do. "Oh we're neighbors? Give us a call and we'll have beers on the patio." Asshat.
ReplyDeleteThat being said, that banner is an awesome idea to call someone out on their bullshit!
ReplyDeleteAbout 8 years ago, Reggie was busted for cheating by his then wife Marita. In retaliation, she burnt their house to the ground. In it was all of Reggie's Pacers and Olympic memorabilia including his gold medal.
ReplyDelete(I lived in Indianapolis at the time and their interior decorator was my best friend.)
@ Sara Bellum, exactly. Neighbors: Call me if we're too loud or if our landscaper damages any of your morning glory. Seems Reggie wasn't counting on her telling her boyfriend about the 50+ texts messages, and Reggie wasn't counting on her or her boyfriend being people who didn't want or have to put up with Reggie's bullshit. Check. Mate. Ass. Hole. Who you gonna abuse now?
ReplyDeleteWhich is why I believe and advocate every chance I get: Even if filing a report doesn't help your case, file it. If nothing else you are documenting a pattern of behavior and might be able to help someone down the road. From here on out everyone knows Reggie Miller has a problem and should be avoided.
A couple of years ago on Pacific Beach in San Diego in the middle of a huge surf contest (read: packed beach) a plane flew overhead with a banner that read: LUCAS MURDOCK LOVES MAN ASS.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what the hell Lucas Murdock did, but it doesn't sound pretty. Unless that was just his way of coming out.
Brilliant idea! Good job, Alex!
ReplyDeleteReggie is uglier than sh*t http://z.about.com/d/movies/1/0/X/C/8/glory26010506.jpg
and obviously does not listen and has no concept of the word, "NO!" What an effin' loser!!! Ew. Just ew... to really let you all know where I stand.
:-D
Raina, not only did she burn his house down, he refused to prosecute her, and the whole thing was swept under the rug. I guess one reason is that Reggie's 'good guy' sports hero image was very important to the Reggie's wallet, the city and the team, and he sure wouldn't want his infidelities out there. Indiana really likes players with a good work ethic, who are not sleazy nor thugs.
ReplyDeleteI'm still a fan of his playing, although I agree he choked a bit. Honestly, I think that only helped his 'good guy' image, that he was a bit vulnerable to pressure.
Damn that was brutal. And I hope Mr. Miller was on the beach trying to pick up some strange... and had this banner fly by.
ReplyDeleteAnd men never forget this shit... and all his buddies will forever rag on his ass about being outed like this.
Now I am off the google about the ex wife burning the house down. I never heard about that at all!
All, this gives me an idea...Let's each pitch in a dollar to fly a banner demanding Enty reveal the "S" blind!!!
