Ellen's Emotional Plea — Page 12

Yes, it is a problem. She signed a contract. She didn't have the right to give the dog to another family.

It is very hard on the dog and I get that. I feel very sorry for the dog in this situation, however it goes back to Ellen. SHE is the one that put the dog and the family and the Rescue into that situation.

It's very simple.

The Rescue doesn't allow dogs into homes with children. Stupid rule? Perhaps - but if she felt that way she should have gone to a different rescue.

Wow - that's quite a leap.

I've stood next to "celebrities" both as fan and friend many times and I understand the way people treat them as deities.

Again...I don't care of it's Ellen or some random stranger.

The fact that it is a celebrity means she should have been all the more careful about signing her name on a contract. She was entering in an agreement with a company. At the very least she should have had people to read every last line of that contract (or any contract) before she agrees to it.

The fact that people act like idiots and could potentially "forget to mention key details" is all the more reason that Ellen should have been more diligent in protecting herself.

Look, I don't hate Ellen at all. In fact, she seems like a lovely person who just made a stupid mistake. That said she should have to live with the consequences of her mistake.

The fact that the Rescue is being so anal about the rules and removing the dog and being resistant to the pressure leads me to believe they probably didn't do the star struck forget to mention the details thing. It seems to be a pretty big sticking point for them.

Do we know if this company has any other celebrity clients?

And it's very interesting that you would qualify the writer of that link as a "nobody," as though I should only the opinions of the famous are important.

Depends. Are the refugees famous?

Martina thinks your plight is funny.

And who cares about Portia? She's not even half as famous as Ellen.

I think that everyone has to make a living.

What do you think about the price of tomatoes in Alaska?

No, but they're killer.

That you can lead a horticulture but you can't make her think?

Why do I fear that world will magically bring Papa in here?

She obviously could read the stage direction [wipe nose on wrist, hide behind palm, sob] on the teleprompter.

I just found a blog (to which I will not link) that acknlowleges that the women from the rescue have received death threats and then proceeds to post one of the women's home phone number. Later on, though, someone else posts the blog writer's address and phone number.

People is crazy, right Beatriz?
