It's Time To Have A Chat- Momma Bear is Pissed

I have lost a lot of sleep over this.

Point Blank: I am PISSED.

I know I am overly sensitive.

I know that I am passionate.

I know that I have these faults.

I have learned to let that go sometimes and reassess how I feel when I am calmed down.

Three days later...I AM ANGRY, HURT, and above all SAD.

I think I have established myself as an honest. When I do wrong...I try to make it right. Even though I may not like you I treat you with fairness and respect. UP TILL A POINT.

You know of Bloggers and Tiara's Right...that it is run by Momdot.com? I was involved with it. I know that Trisha Haas has been controversial in the past. But because I wasn't around for it. I stayed out of it.

And then one unsuspecting day...reading her blog before I checked in to seeing the latest for Bloggers and Tiaras she had a post up called

Airport People

1st Picture

A member of the Hadistic Jewish Sect. Its rather obvious.

She titles it Men In Uniform

2nd Picture

A little girl in the airport in age appropriate clothes.

She has some fringy boots.

Trisha Haas calls her a Miley Wannabee.

3rd Picture.

An older gentleman who has a short mohawk with tattoos and a leather vest.

She titles it Possible Mid Life Crisis

And last but certainly NOT LEAST:

A picture of a 14 year old girl holding her cellphone. Dressed appropriately..maybe a bit ill fitting but appropriate.

This is what she writes:

"She has braces, chubby face, blah blah, but she is FAT. Why are kids this overweight? It?s not like she has birthed four kids. WTF is the excuse for this? If someone responds and tells me she has a thyroid problem, Im going to hurl on myself. This girl needs to lay off the ho-ho?s before she ends up on someones blog? oh? too late."

My blood is boiling.

I was one of the people that was outraged...not explicate...not derogatory..but one of the people who stood up and said it wasn't right. I even suggested that she black out the face. She said in the Momdot forum that was ridiculous, its not like she is naked! I said that all major publications do it and then she referenced Perez Hilton and showing Demi Moore's little girls boobs on his site...saying that not all major publications do it. She then erased the forum before I could respond.

I deleted my account with Momdot and I dropped out of the competition.

You must understand that there were quite a few who support her. Why? Who knows. They stated quite clearly this was okay. Trisha is trying to spin this like she cares about overweight teens. Yeah.

She has had huge backlash....then she says we are projecting ourselves into this. Trying to say this is about overweight America not Cyberbullying.

AND THEN...and this really pissed me off boys and girls.

She says that she is being bullied. *shifts eyes*

Oh that she has had death threats and people saying mean things about her.

And yet I happen to remember a particular post in the Momdot forum where she was saying how people were calling her daughter ugly and fat...hmmm. I supported her in this...I don't like mean people or cruelty.

But then she does it. ???????????

I pointed this out to her...she said that she got over it. Right. I am sure you are hunky dory about someone using abusive language about your child.

So now she has made these particularly offensive posts and her personal family posts private to protect her family.

In fact she says that you get to pay to see her posts so that if you want to stalk her she can pay for her home security. Apparently her families safety equals about five bucks (for membership).

Okay so lets recap here.

You get death threats about your blog.....about your family. How long will it take you to shut down your blog?

Would you have your families pictures emblazoned on your blog still if you are trying to protect them?

NOW she is spin doctoring this to say that she is the victim.

While I don't personally know of any threats or mean spirited comments directed towards her family I will take it for what it is worth and so ok.

Death Threats are wrong.

Tit for Tat is wrong.

Posting a picture of a minor and calling her fat is wrong.

I signed a petition last night...no I didn't create it but I signed it. To stop cyber bullying.


The thing that really gets me is that she touts that she is an Ethical Blogger. You might have seen a button on my sidebar that said Ethical Blogger. I have since taken it down. She is the creator of Momdot and PR collection. FTC compliance badges...the works.

She complains about a PR person talking about ethics and but then tweeting under his own name about dildos and such.

What about her sponsors? Sam's Club? Just one of the many she has supporting her. (Oh I have a list for you if you want it..) I wonder what they would think about this post. Well they can't see it now because they would have to pay for it. Not to worry screen shots were taken (not by me).

How hard as a blogger do you work for your readership, sponsors, your ethics? Pretty hard huh?

Moms and Dads? How would feel if someone posted your son's or daughter's picture up on the Internet and say those above words. But then claim that it was to bring attention to child obesity. (This girl had some extra pounds but not obese by any means).

Human Beings?

People with at least half a brain?

People with a heart?

Wanna help stop Cyber Bullying? Here is the link to the petition.

Wanna to read a blog dedicated to stopping this? Click here. (While I don't condone everything that is written I agree with a lot. I publicly follow this blog) This blog does have the screen shots of the original post so you can think for yourself.

I want to make this very clear. I am not condemning those who are part of momdot still. I understand not everyone holds the opinions of Trisha.

I am here to publicly support those who are too afraid to publicly say anything.

I am not afraid.

You all know I have fared far far worse in my life that this.

I was a chubby girl.

I was called fat.

My last name was Wake at the time.

They thought it would be funny to call me "EarthqWake"

I didn't turn in my homework because I was afraid to go into the front of room...I didn't want to get made fun of.

I can't imagine..with all that I have been through...(and you who have been reading this know...if you don't read my bio)...if someone had posted my picture up there and said those words. I am here to tell you I probably would have committed suicide.


I sat there in history class while my teacher mocked Catholics...crudely.

I was the one that got in his face. He pushed me. Yeah. I know what bullies are Trisha. Try incest sometime...it changes your views on life drastically. Oh...what's that? Yeah I am a victim.


Christine Mack not Wake
