or people are just fucked up…? this is about reality tv and people that commit suicide, murder, and sue because of it :eek: [http://www.nydailynews.com/front/story/347520p-296543c.html](http://www.nydailynews.com/front/story/347520p-296543c.html) "As part of the premakeover hype, producers coaxed McGee and other family members to trash Williams’ looks on videotape, the suit alleges. When they suddenly pulled the plug on the project, and the promised “Hollywood smile like Cindy Crawford,” a guilt-ridden McGee fell apart. “Kellie could not live with the fact that she had said horrible things that hurt her sister. She fell to pieces. Four months later, she ended her life with an overdose of pills, alcohol and cocaine,” said Wesley Cordova, a lawyer for Williams. " * * * "In February, a contestant for NBC’s boxing reality show “The Contender” took his own life less than a month before the show’s broadcast debut. Najai Turpin, 23, sat in a parked car outside the West Philadelphia gym where he trained and shot himself in the head. It was later revealed that Turpin had lost his make-or-break bout in Week 5 of the series and was disqualified." * * * "In 1995, the Chicago-based “Jenny Jones Show” turned deadly when one guest murdered another who had made a homosexual pass at him on the air. Jon Schmitz, 24, went berserk after the stunt in which Scott Amedure, 32, revealed he had a “secret crush” on Schmitz and fantasized about tying him up for a “whipped cream and champagne” adventure. A shocked and humiliated Schmitz insisted “I’m 100% heterosexual” as the studio audience howled. Three days later, Schmitz drove to Amedure’s Pontiac, Mich., home and shot him twice in the chest with a shotgun. Schmitz was convicted of second-degree murder in 1996, but the case was overturned." :eek: :eek: :eek: ---

I don’t know that I agree with this article. A few examples and now we should shun all reality tv? What about the child stars that went through addictions? Should we not have anymore child actors? I think the writer is against reality tv and is trying to find support - my 2 cents… ---

Reality TV? Those who watch it have poor taste. Those who aspire to be in it are pathetic. ---
