If I were one of Jackie's clients, I'd be wondering what she says about me when the cameras are NOT rolling!!! Hukd, this is an issue close to my heart. My grandmother was diagnosed many years ago, when she was 81-years-old, with breast cancer. She had a mastectomy and lived to be 98-years-old. Two very close friends of mine also had breast cancer - one has made her 10-year survivor anniversary and the other had her 5-year anniversary earlier this week.

OMG the ONLY reason they are pulling their sponsorship is because people are actually writing in and complaining. (WOW) that's just a bit too much for me. Neither Jackie or Lisa knew the girl had breast cancer. Lisa stated that she felt horrible and apologized. <93>

I did stop watching Angel. And yes I am taking this seriously as a human being and as a breast cancer survivor.

There are 2 issues here. The horrible comment about the person recovering from breast cancer and the shoddy treatment of Peeler. I guess I thought she would redeem herself and make it all good in the next episode. After reading her blog on the Bravo site clearly she thinks she did nothing wrong so I am glad people are expressing their outrage. I guess she is no longer acepting comments on her blog space which I think is telling also. The people there want her head on a platter.

Mocha, good for you. I gotta say I read/post on a couple of boards and this is the only one that is an uproar over what she said and care about Peeler. Peeler needed to go last season, he has NO respect for her and after all she is the boss.

<93> it was horribly offensive and crossed a line. if a sponsor doesn't want to be associated with that kind of behavior, more power to them.

I also frequent other boards and have seen MANY people upset by them mocking the woman's breasts. It hits home very hard if you are a breast cancer survivor and are actually disfigured. <93>

<93> We must be going to different boards because the ones I frequent they are not making a big deal out of it. Lisa apologized for her comments and that's all that matters. Those sponsors I can bet my life would still be sponsoring if it hadn't for people writting in complaining.

and this is NOT the only board that is in an uproar over how she treated Peeler. No, he was not a model employee, but she was wrong in this case. Totally refusing to discuss it was childish and imo showed that she knew that she was in the wrong.

They only apologized because they got caught. The fact of the matter is, they made fun of a paying customer (their bread and butter), who just happened to have disfigurement as a result of breast cancer. Saying "I'm sorry" doesn't cut it, it isn't enough. They KNEW they were being filmed, yet they sat there and mocked someone out in their gym? They deserve everything they get.

Acutally the lady in question was not a paying customer, she was Peeler's private customer therefore the gym makes no money off her. Women are catty and they constantly talk bad about each other..which is what Lisa was doing (I don't remember if Jackie said anything harsh...) Once they found out she had breast cancer then she apologized which IMO should be enough.

Someone posted on Jackie's blog that Jackie should get rid her assistant. That ever since she started there she has been stirring the pot and causing drama. 1st w/ the Jackie and Rebecca relationship, causing fighting between 2 of the trainers, tattling on one of the trainers when Jackie got back from her trip, making fun of the woman's breasts and now she is trying to get two trainers hooked up. I don't watch the show that closly, so I don't have an opinion on it. I ws just curious what everyone else thought about it.

Well it must be a big deal to someone if Lisa was axed,and sponsors are pulling out.In the previews I hate seeing Brian < Imho > begging Jackie, he needs to just leave her alone. Surely there other nice gyns in LA or he can make lots of $$$ as a personal trainer. Granted few gyms have staff who are tied to a reality show.

Peeler could be a personal trainer but I think he wants to be tied into the show. Yeah where did you read Lisa was axed?? It's probably the best course of action since she is a tattle tale.

I question Bravo though. WHY did they even show this stuff if they knew these comments and actions would hurt people? They also shot themselves in the foot, because what kind of dumbhead powers that be would think this would be good for the ratings? They probably had to show it because it leads into Brian getting fired...they probably didn't want to air it because the editing seemed really choppy when Lisa said it & they didn't show them apologizing to the woman's boyfriend. Bravo knew people would want to know what happened to Brian & he would say what happened so they edited it as much as possible but it still sounded horrible. I think maybe Jackie could have been way more compassionate & nicer. (I've watched every season so far & agree the premise of the show changed) It seems to be more about Jackie being a lesbian than working out <66>

Nice purple, 2boys, lol! You're probably right about why they showed it. I hadn't thought of that angle.

I just saw Greg Plitt on Designed to Sell. So I Googled that and he is apparently a carpenter by trade and he did a whole slew of the Designed to Sell episodes. Who da thunk?

I've seen him on there, too. He seems to be a very good carpenter.
