Could Amber Frye be more of a ho'?

[babylonsister]

Now on :scared: FOX, Oprah, Larry King, etc., anyone who wants to hear her sphiel. I really don't and could not give a shit. 'Cept, her book is popular? :shrug: :boring: :shrug:

How does one spell schpeill? Not correct, I trust.

[gardenista]

1. Turn off the TV, don't buy the book, and forget about it.

But why are you so convinced that she's a "ho"?

[jellybelly]

4. she has become the media's whore

before she was just Scott's whore...

[gardenista]

8. So she gets no respect from anyone for being to one to put that bastard

behind bars?

Without her going to the cops, her testimony and the tapes she made with the cops, he would be walking the streets of Modesto looking for Lacy 2.

But since, as a single mom, she tries to get her story out there and get paid for it, she's a whore, and a slut and a skank.

The hatred for women on this board is unbelievable.

[jellybelly]

11. She should be applauded for doing

something any other human-being would do? Just because she didn't support Scott doesn't make her any less of a whore...I don't respect the woman. It doesn't mean I hate her.

[gardenista]

14. Whore=hate speech.

So you don't respect her. Fine. I don't think I'd leave my kids with her for the weekend, either, but she is a human being with all of the flaws of human beings. She did the right thing. Maybe you would have done the right thing, too, but I think she redeemed herself well when she helped the cops get him on tape.

It established his motive, and was probably responsible for the conviction.

I guess I'm more tolerant because I haven't seen her *ever* on TV, anywhere. We don't have it, so she and Gloria Alred haven't been invading my home every night.

But I wish people would cut her a break. She did far more that not "support Scott". She put his ass in jail.

I disagree with the death penalty, but I am sure glad he's off the street. Did you know that his former girlfriend also died under suspicious circumstances?

[jellybelly]

20. I don't think 'whore' is hate speech...

But I respect your opinion. She has become a 'media whore' though...Because you don't see her on TV, I can understand your defense of Amber.

I'm not sure if I believe Scott committed a murder prior to this case.:shrug:

[gardenista]

22. I'm not sure if I do either, but I just beg people to try and have some

compassion for this woman. This is the second thread in here in which people have totally denigrated her.

I agree that she's not exactly my idea of how I would like my daughter to turn out, but if she did, I would still be proud of her.

And yes, I'm sure it's irritating to have to hear her story over and over again, but try putting yourself in her shoes for a minute or two.

She has basically no other resources. She is a mother. She didn't ask for this situation, but she's in it. She is basically obligated to her kid to try and make some money from telling her side of the story. She sure isn't going to have a shot at making a decent living in Fresno.

In the same situation, I would have done the same thing.

[jellybelly]

24. She shouldn't be giving interviews to everyone...

Maybe one or two interviews, but now she has gone overboard. It's ridiculous...Can you imagine the kind of life her child will have? Amber isn't making life easier for herself or her family by constantly appearing on TV.

[gardenista]

32. Well, I can agree that she might be going overboard, probably manipulated

by Gloria Alred, but I still don't think that means she's a whore.

We can agree to disagree, eh?

:pals:

[jellybelly]

35. okay...I agree

:pals:
and she is a major whore:P (kidding)

[gardenista]

36. Well, if I were a whore, I'd want to be a major one, too.

Hey, maybe I am one....

[miss_kitty]

42. sounds like she almost BECAME Laci 2

:scared:

[MemphisTiger]

6. her sworn testimony, she f@#ked a married man

She is a ho or tramp or whatever other Jerry Springer verbage you prefer

[gardenista]

10. Oh, and what "sworn testimony" is that? She didn't know he was married.

And when she found out the truth, she went to the cops and helped put him away.

[MemphisTiger]

12. so, she's a ho with a concience

I'm not sure if I spelled that right

[gardenista]

15. Nope, you didn't. I ask you again, what makes her a "ho"? nt

[MemphisTiger]

16. Again, she slept with a married man

It doesn't make her a saint

[gardenista]

19. Again, do you even read the posts or are you just on spew mode?

She didn't know he was married. He lied to her about EVERYTHING.

Gullible. yes.

Not too bright. probably.

Desperate to find a man to take care of her and her child? Looks like it.

But whore? No.

He told her he had been married but his wife was DEAD.

So she fell for his shit and she slept with him on the first night they were together. Big f'ing deal.

What are you, the Church Lady?

[Kire]

38. even if she knew he was married

wouldn't that make her a home wrecker?

sleeping with one married man does not a whore make

[BlueFlu]

41. Let's take a closer look...

Amber has two children from two different men, neither of which she was married to.

http://www.useless-knowledge.com/1234/new/article153.html

She had sex with Scott on their first date.

She had sex with him while her children were in the home with them.

http://www.pych-one.com/new-4984534-4811.html

She sure would have a hard time convincing me she is an honorable, moral woman...

[babylonsister]

7. Thank you lots! I thought my

contsonants(Sp. Sp. Sp.) were dying! OK, so now tell me they are. Yeah, I'm regressing...
OK, spiel works. Gracias! So consonants doesn't? There's a 't' in there somewhere.

[Maat]

5. At this time ... I am so glad I gave up - totally -

watching CNN, Faux News, MSRNC or the networks after the election. I listen to Sirius Left and Air America, watch Democracy Now and other programming on Free Speech TV on Dish Network, watch Jon Stewart faithfully every night he's on, and a little bit of children's programming with my kid.

I am at peace. Thank Spirit I never have to see Amber Frye (or Scott Petersen's) face ever again.

[Taverner]

9. To be honest, lay off Amber

A shitstorm has befallen her, and I really can't blame her for trying to profit off it. At least something good would come out of all of it.

Don't get me wrong, I think Peterson received too harsh of a sentence, even if he did do it. And Amber may not have made the wisest of decisions.

But really, who of us hasn't fucked up and done dumb things? Especially in our 20's....

If she makes a buck off the book, FINE. GOOD. Maybe she won't be pressured to fall for the first guy who has a steady paycheck. Being a single mom sucks, and will make you do unwise things sometimes.

[gardenista]

13. Thank you for a voice of reason.

I feel like I'm in Freeperland sometimes when it comes to the intolerance of people's human frailties and mistakes.

[Pithlet]

18. I agree.

And, I'll add that women are always much more likely to be judged in such a harsh manor, it seems.

[FizzFuzz]

39. boy is that ever the truth

meanwhile, I've seen plenty of threads from men here discussing their perpetual horniness, and how they think it's a little wierd, but mostly sorta innocent and lovable, like for example, about how tough it is for them to listen to women because they can't stop imagining the woman naked. Unless she's not hot, in which case they pretend to care about what she's saying while imagining someone else. (yes this was an actual thread here some months ago)

Gee, no one rips them apart for being ho's or dick-heads. They expect and get pats on the back from their fellows.

Double standard, alive and well.

To be fair, I have also seen some men here who really do understand that women are people and speak eloquently about it. Yay!!!!!

[blondeatlast]

23. Absolutely. I never presume I WOULDN'T do the same type of

thing in the same situation.

I like to think I wouldn't, but damn if I'm not weak and human.

[smbolisnch]

17. How is she a ho?

Can you even begin to imagine what she went through? A single mother who meets this seemingly great guy, thinks things are looking up. Then she gets this BOMBSHELL thrown in her lap. She didn't even know he was married and it turns out he is a sociopathic wife killer.

If it weren't for her testimony and her helping the FBI get him on tape etc., he probably would still be walking the streets.I have to agree with the other posters here. So just what has she done wrong here?? :shrug:

[blondeatlast]

21. Honestly, I can't blame her for trying to profit.

I have little respect for her judgment, but I can't blame her for profiting off of her newfound fame.

[Taverner]

25. Exactly. She's got another mouth to feed...

and she had to deal with a ton of shit the past year or two.

Not that I've been there, but being a single mom is NOT FUN

[SKKY]

26. I think she's getting a bad rap...

...I don't think she's at fault here- really. And now that her business, in all it's ugly detail, is out there for public scrutiny I really don't know what options she has. I doubt she's making a great deal of money off this because on each interview Gloria is right there next to her chiming in. She's probably taking most of the money.

[hoi polloi]

27. More crap

and worthless nugatory from out television zombies who pretend to give news to the hoi polloi, but not me included.
That is why I have stopped watching television.

[madison2000]

28. Sounds pretty harsh to me.

She went through a lot of shit to put that guy behind bars and I don't think she deserves to be called names.

[jellybelly]

29. she is a media whore...that's the point of the thread, I think

[philosophie_en_rose]

30. If it weren't for her, there wouldn't have been a conviction.

Amber Frey bravely came forward and assisted law enforcement at significant risk to herself. She's been through a traumatic experience and is now telling that story to the public.

It's a catch 22. If she's silent, then the tabloids will speak for her. If she dares to sell a book, then she's called a whore. :eyes:

[madison2000]

31. it took some guts to do what she did

She was playing games with a man who just killed his wife and child- I give her a lot of credit for doing that.
When people write books, they go on book tours and do the publicity thing while the subject is fresh. Aron Rolston - the hiker who amputated his own arm - did the same thing, and I don't think people would call him a media whore. He has a story worth telling.
The moment will pass, and people will lose interest. If you don't want to watch, then don't.

[gardenista]

34. Actually, people on this board did call Aron Rolston a media whore.

They did the same thing to Jessica Lynch.

None of these people asked to be involved in tragic circumstances. They were in the wrong place at the wrong time. And when they decide to tell their stories they are vilified and called names.

It was sad then, and it's sad now.

I sometimes wonder whether it's jealousy. I really don't understand it.

[gardenista]

33. Well, I'll bet when she looks back on this in the future, she'll be glad

that she made the choice to tell her own story.

You are so right that the tabloids will speak for her, and she's going to be called names by alienated people no matter what.

I wish her peace, and I also wish peace to Lacy's family. They have all been through a horrible couple of years.

Seems like everyone loses sight of the real bad guy here- Scott Petersen.



edit: spelling

[NNadir]

37. Who is she?

I can't tell the fifteen minutes of fame types without a scorecard.

[Calanus]

40. Sure. She could charge people money to have sex with her.

That would make her more of a ho.
