ONE OF THESE THINGS IS NOT LIKE THE OTHER. Seriously, I have to reprint this apology letter from <a href="http://www.bravotv.com/Work_Out/season/3/blogs/index.php?blog=jackie_warner&article=2008/05/jackie_104_images">Jackie Warner's Bravo blog</a>. Jackie Warner has sent it around to enough people to put it in the public domain category. <blockquote>To clear up a couple of things from last night's episode. I did not make a derogatory remark about Brian Peelers client on camera or off-camera. The only reason he tried to bring it up to me on camera is to villainise me and set me up for something I didn't do. Lisa did not know this woman had cancer and made a comment about her breasts which she apologized for. I have dealt with cancer personally as well as watched my mother struggle with it so I am very sensitive about this disease. I have been employed in the past and in a million years would not have behaved the way Brian behaved with me. I can't imagine raising my voice or refusing to leave my boss' office when asked politely to do so. I feel totally justified in firing him. I have always personally disliked him but was forced to continue to employ him because he was chosen by the producers for the show. Please remember that this is a show and that 90% of the beautiful and inspiring work we did was left on the cutting room floor. The producers decided (regrettably) to create through editing a very different and what I think a very negative show. This season is not in any way a reflection of what I or SkySport represents. I have spent a great part of my life trying to heal and am just as floored as you, the viewers, by the negative editing. On a lighter note, I thought Erica looked beautiful during her shoot and it was a great self-esteem builder. Gregg B and Deenie are just not fitting! SkyLab is challenging and getting off to a rocky start but some powerful changes are yet to come. Thank you- Jackie Warner</blockquote> CONTRAST THE ABOVE LETTER WITH THIS ONE FROM LISA Here is <a href="http://www.bravotv.com/Work_Out/season/3/blogs/index.php?blog=lisa_skyles&article=2008/05/lisa_304_images">Lisa's blog </a>from Bravo. Now this, is what a credible, believable, sincere apology looks like. Nice job, Lisa. If I were Jamie I would totally accept this apology: <blockquote>Unless you’re some kind of saint, you’ve probably at one time or another said or done something unkind. Maybe out of fear, envy, greed or pettiness, you’ve dumped on somebody you shouldn't have. Well, folks -- I did just that. I made the following comments about Jamie Eason: (1) I questioned if she had breast implants because they were very perky and perfect. I remember looking down at my aging boobs and thought about considering implants, and (2) I questioned who she was in general because she was doing some hard-core workout with Brian. That is all I said … PERIOD! I totally owned up to it and personally apologized to Jamie, her boyfriend, and Peeler. I apologized for the exact words I used immediately after her boyfriend walked out of the office. Her boyfriend was totally cool and understood, but wanted an apology from Jackie and not on behalf of her, as he overheard her making comments as well. I believe Jamie and Peeler wanted the same, which is why he confronted Jackie in her office. My “confessional” was emotional and overwhelming because I felt so bad for what I said even after I made amends. At that time I also learned that my sister who is suffering from systemic Lupus and attempted suicide, and my hair was coming out in clumps due to stress. I have suffered the repercussions of my actions and if the blame wants to be placed on me, then so be it. The best thing about the situation is that I got ”love” back from Jamie and Peeler. As manager of the gym and medical facility, I make mistakes -- BIG OL' BURLY ones! The best thing about a mistake is the ability to OWN up to it and learn from it. If you don’t, then that says something about your lack of character. Since the event, I have spoken to many high profile business people in Beverly Hills and have taken their advice on how to handle the situation. I learned that it isn’t uncommon for things like this to happen, but it is rare that people take full responsibility for it and not blame others. Yes, it was immature. Yes, yes, yes. Guilty as charged! So I’m totally prepared for the butt-whipping, nasty words and hate mail. Bring it on, as I deserve it. </blockquote> __________________________________AskALesbianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14966361865767997235noreply@blogger.com
