Blind Item #8 - Ruining Lives One Recap At A Time
I always talk about the weekly tabloids putting on Kneepads when it comes to celebrities, simply because they want to protect their access and think that is more important than being honest with reviews or opinions. Their mission in life is to suck up to celebrities in the biggest way possible.
Blogs are a different matter, especially blogs or websites that recap shows. Specifically I am talking about reality shows. These blogs and websites definitely have their favorites and obviously the more they suck up, the better the chances are that stars of the shows they are recapping will give them an interview which then leads to more kissing butt and a cycle that never ends.
Sometimes though, these blogs and websites are just really objective with their opinion and call it as it is. When they do that, there are a group of reality stars who have hired a troll farm. This troll farm goes after the offending writer with a vengeance. They fill the comments with nasty diatribes about the writer and the site and try and dox the writer whenever possible. It is not uncommon for the trolls to make threats against the writer and their family.
It is not just the writers that this troll farm disguised as a PR firm goes after. They will go after other reality stars who speak out against one of their clients. They will trash that reality star in every space they can find with a staff of freelance trolls that operate across the country making a certain amount for each day of trolling. They will dox the reality star which then causes dozens of people to show up at the home of the reality star and has led to break ins and other issues where law enforcement was required.
Currently, this firm is representing a former Housewife and have set their sights on anyone who crosses her. Things were so bad by this firm that the producers had to put a stop to it. Well, they tried to put a stop to it. This firm was trash talking every blog and website that said anything bad about this Housewife and doxxing the writers which was causing the websites and blogs to not want to write anything about Housewives at all which would be very very bad for business for the franchise. The final straw for the producers was when the firm started race baiting and spewing vile anti-Semitic hate at some of the writers. The Housewife did not have her contract renewed which is why she is a former Housewife now.

Phaedra Parks?
ReplyDeleteI've never watched even one episode of RH, but this makes me want to start a blog about the show.
ReplyDeleteIts Siggy from RHONJ
ReplyDeleteDefinitely Soggy Flicker. The woman is INSANE
ReplyDeleteI like Don's guess. Especially since she stated she "has no desire" to return to RHOA. I bet.
ReplyDeleteSiggy from NJ or Dorit from BH?
ReplyDeleteSiggy of RHONJ.
ReplyDeleteIt's probably Siggy Flicker, since she accused Margaret of being ant-Semitic on the show, but the blind makes it sound like the trolls were being anti-Semitic toward the bloggers, so who knows?
ReplyDelete@Frazzled, I was confused about that part as well.
ReplyDeleteI like Don's guess.Parks is shady enough to hire people for this purpose.
ReplyDeleteTroll Farm e-mail me I wanna do this job...
ReplyDelete+1
DeleteIf paid shills are a real thing for some stupid reality show ..... the implications are staggering
ReplyDeleteYou know how to respond to a troll? So simple. “I’m sorry you feel that way”.
ReplyDeleteThen sit back and watch the meltdown.
IKR, Sandy? Sign me up!
ReplyDeleteMy dream job used to be writer for Weekly World News, since they're gone I guess paid troll would be the next best thing.
I was going to ask which housewife was recently fired but then I remembered that we only hear about that when the new season begins
ReplyDeleteSomeone go ask Brian Moylan I bet he knows!
ReplyDeleteIt's totally Siggy and there are reports and articles linking her to it. She hired the same PR firm that Leann Times did who went after Brandy and that Brandy had to get a restraining order against. She has also attacked others in Facebook groups I belong to that spoke out against her. The same PR lady and former attorney also attacked that actress from Third Rock From The Sun.

ReplyDeleteYep, seen the paid shills on many reality show independent blogs. The Roloffs have quite the PR team and so does Ree Drummond. The organized structure of the defense is so obvious, and the implied threats are always the same. The Sister Wives have their own team, as well.
ReplyDeleteThis is why I don't watch anything with "real housewives" in the title...
ReplyDeleteVincenza Spina as the attorney who reps Housewives. It's gotten ugly.
ReplyDeleteShes disbarred. Stole a police officers pension according to iron troll.com and vinniespina.com
Delete@low key weekly world news was a highly respected writing job. Lots of imagination was needed to write there about aliens and such, I miss it at the supermarket checkout aisle.😥
ReplyDeleteIf I say what I am thinking, I will be banned from CDAN for life. If you read the entire blind, there is a very truthful statement involved. There are trolls out there and have been for decades, who look for certain words. Then they pounce. Read this and think about it.
ReplyDeleteEnty posted two BI's about troll farms in a day today. The intresting thing is, I skimmed through the comments today and only 1 out of 3 of the new commenters taht suddenly appeared this past 1–2 weeks after someone got called out for something have posted anything.
DeleteIf this is because Enty noticed then I'm glad he's noticing.
*Haven't
DeleteAnd one of the users in question has changed their tune since they were called out (went from complete crackpot comments to "voice of reason" everyone's giving them props for—knows exactly what to say at the right time). Very interesting.
This is 100% siggy flicker. If you look at her twitter its full of subtle shade towards margaret. She said it herself on the show that she wants to DESTROY margaret. Looks like she wasn’t kidding. All because margaret called her soggy flicker. So pathetic
ReplyDeleteI too think it's Siggy F.
ReplyDeleteHaving said that, I noticed last year when Bethenny Frankel went psycho on Luann, and the blogs were calling her out, on her unjustifiable behaviour, suddenly all these new accounts with very few comments would appear, defending her and trashing Luann. Bethenny has used these troll farms 100%
Yes! Agree
DeleteMeh... Reality Stars. So "Here today, irrelevant by the time I eat my lunch." I mean I AVIDLY watched The Voice last season, but couldn't for the life of me tell you who won. Some blonde girl. Ashley? Hailey? Emily?
ReplyDeleteRichard Hatch is perhaps the only reality star I can name. Well - he WAS "Reality Star Ground Zero" after all!
Yeah but what I can't stand is them harassing bloggers, regular non-celebs. They're famous, have a "podium" so to speak, famous enough to have verified accounts and they're picking on civilians.
DeleteIt's asymmetrical warfare.
And the stuff they're making up is seriously damaging.
Damaging and completely baseless (not to mention ridiculous).
DeleteI am up for some paid trolling. Contact email is in my profile, just click my screenname and tell me what the pay rate is.
ReplyDeleteSigh with the anti-semitic comments.
ReplyDeleteBoldblonde: You just outed yourself!!!
ReplyDeleteJill Zarin of RHNY years ago used to write nasty reviews of RHNY Bethenny Frankels books on Amazon while at the same time write her own glowing review of her own book. She used an easily identifiable faux handle and was booted from reviewing.
ReplyDeleteThere was also a "Hate" blog named after Zarin that was mentioned on the show. It's gone now. I think the owner quit or passed away.
Just recently JZ and BF made up at the funeral for Jill's husband whom everyone loved.
These RH are very thin skinned and vicious.
@offwithherhead omg now I remember how nuts Jill used to be! She would be still, except that now she’s so irrelevant that nothing is even written about her anymore for her to defend. I got into the I hate Jill Zarin blog at the end. Wasn’t the owner a woman from Chicago who used a pic of he and her son or nephew who was a hockey star? Yeah, she passed away and all the fun ended. This fits Jill but it sounds like someone newer, must be Siggy. I’m thinking Jill was the first fame-hungry, desperate psycho who did whatever you call this, creating of online accounts to bash the costars, and others followed. I stopped watching Jersey after the tacky cake throwing in Miami. How tacky and childish can they be? But it sounds like Siggy because from what I saw and had also seen her on talk shows, she seems very controlling and fame hungry.
DeleteIt's Vicky g. She said she's choosing not to come back, but truth is, she had been warned repeatedly, and kept up her bull. So she made nice at the end in front of cameras. Orange county might be recast completely because of the headaches. The producers & writers want an easier existence. Ask anyone who grew up with her, she's always played dirty.
ReplyDelete@courtb I stopped watching OC years ago because I had had enough with Vicky. I would love it if what you said is true!
DeleteAfter she showed who she is after the Brooks thing, I couldn't watch V anymore.
DeleteSiggy "No credentials-thin skinned-borderline personality disorder" Flicker.
ReplyDeleteRichard Lawson, if you read cdan -- I miss your RH recaps on Gawker!!!! I got addicted to the shows because his recaps were the best thing on the internet.
Who honestly watched this garbage. My wife made sit through some housewife bs and I made it 5 min before wanting to throw my remote at the tv.
ReplyDeleteMy sister watches this crap...ugggh
DeleteOh my goodness!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds really horrible!
I would make a guess at who this is but I'm busy defending myself and my blog, irontroll.com, against 3 harassment claims filed against me by the owner of a PR firm who works for a fired Real Housewife.
I'll say it for you since you can't, Zile...it's Siggy Flicker who's suing him/her. And apparently flagging the website irontroll.com as dangerous.
ReplyDeleteYep VLS pokes pokes pokes and then when you respond she serves you trust me I know all too well. I too like zile am fighting charges
ReplyDeleteCarol Radziwill -- probably in there because Epstein's also a social climber. Interesting about Dorit though! I hadn't caught that. PJ, too I assume?
ReplyDeleteI have only watched one of these Real Whores shows for a couple of episodes. Just seems like a waste of time you can never get back .
ReplyDeleteI've watched all the Housewives as a great guilty pleasure. The main ones. In thinking of people, I agree Phaedra is a good guess. Vicki would definitely do that too. But I'm gonna wager on Heather Dubrow potentially. And she's got the $ to go after people.
ReplyDeleteIt's Enty speak so I can't follow the end but now reading it makes me think the firm heckled bloggers and Heather is Jewish so she would never. I'm going Phaedra
ReplyDelete@ Bobby Digital - I don't watch anymore but when I did watch some of the RHW shows, I loved them. They were so deliciously awful!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know who this Siggy person was but googled her and this was the first link - looks like she reads this site! https://www.instagram.com/p/BeHJVARDd28/
ReplyDeleteThe HW is Soggy. The blogger is a certain disbarred attorney from NJ. Her PR firm is a fake entity created as a cover to stalk and harass other bloggers or fans of HW who disagree with her opinion. She attacks people from twitter she’s never met. She calls their jobs to get them fired. There’s even a recording floating out there where she called the husband’s job of someone who disagreed with her opinion on HWs. She tried to get him fired too because she thought it was his job to monitor his wife’s behavior on social media. Which reminds me, I wonder what Pat thinks of all her crap?
ReplyDeleteSoggy reminds me of all those East coast snowbirds who would hit Florida for the winter when I grew up in the 70s/80s. Loud, braggarts who had $$$ in the bank, a "Docta" for a son and yet still stole the salt & pepper shakers at the golf course cafe. Soggy name dropped the gyno who did her hysterectomy @ the reunion. Gross, classless fraud---with stringy extensions 2 boot!
ReplyDeleteIts Siggy Flicker from NJ. Her PR person is a well known troll and disbarred atty, Vinnie Spina. Rumor is her husband will also soon be disbarred. Vinniespina.com has all the info. Poor Bravo.
ReplyDeleteThis IS Siggy! I read about this a month ago through bullyville and IRON TROLL http://www.irontroll.com/2017/06/real-housewives-publicist-under.html.
ReplyDeleteThe PR Firm is being run by a disbarred Lawyer Vincenza Leonelli-Spina and former blogger who has operated as FAUX REALITY ENTERTAINMENT. SHe is up to some really twisted stuff. I was shocked and disappointed that anyone would pay for those services.
It is definitely Siggy!! Its truly sad that any1 is the "Reality World" would hire Vinnie aka Faux aka A1_Buckwheat aka DiamondPR or whatever she calls herself. Vinnie and her misfits act like children who love to bully people. This group of misfits/bullies are adults with no lives. ALL HOUSEWIVES need to stay away from this group #period. I liked Siggy until I seen her being friends w/this group of bullies!! #VINNIEisPOISON
ReplyDeleteIn the reunion, not only does Siggy admit she'll do anything to destroy someone but she credits it to her Israeli heritage, as if bragging that Israelis are ruthless and amoral:
ReplyDeleteMargaret: “The only genuine thing you’ve said to me this entire season is that you want to destroy me. and you’ve tried to do it this entire season.” Siggy: "Yes, I have. I’m an Israeli. You’re messing with the wrong girl.”
Former hw is Siggy Flicker, prteam is adiamondpr, Vincenza Spina and her employee Brandon King. Blogger is allaboutthetea. King testified under oath he was hired to troll for Rimes, Krupa and Majewski. Real creeper, he was arrested and charged with selling drugs to kids in a school zone. You can see his arrest record on bullyville.com He has spent all of rhonj season, along with vinnie, attacking anyone who tweeted in favor of Margaret.
ReplyDeletehummm sounds like Siggy but there are some things in there that do not sound like her at all like the anti-Semitic comment. Siggy GETS a lot of trolls on her Twitter while Marg barely gets any. Who knows.
ReplyDeleteSiggy Flicker
ReplyDeleteDefinitely Siggy Flicker and her disbarred attorney troll “PR firm” of one Vincenza Spina. Biggest troll on twitter.
ReplyDeleteFormer hw is Siggy, Pr firm is adiamondpr, Vinnie Spina. She tweets under A1_Buckwheat, FauxRealityM and adiamondpr. One of her employees is Brandon King. Under oath, he told the court he trolls for vinnie. He’s trolled For Leanne Rimes, Joanna Krupa and Love Majewski. Brandi found out and lots of gossip sites picked up the story. The blogger is allaboutdatea. Nasty, nasty people. Check out bullyville.com, seriousmode.com or vinniespina.com and it’s all laid out. Nasty, nasty woman that vinnie person is. Her and Brandon stalk anyone who doesn’t like the same reality person. They’ll dox you and go after family members, including young children. Do not read fauxreality blogs, that’s how she captures your ip to start the doxing process.
