Some people might think "oh at least laurel apologize and admit that she's wrong" blah blah blah ... but I still think she is ... somehow ... not real. It's fine to let your friends and fans know that you're writing a note about it, but there is no need to ask others to post it for her. I fell like she's afraid to lose the amount of fans she has. It's not like this is the first and only time she's attacking somebody personally.
C U Next Tuesday, Laurel. What a piece of trash. I never liked Eric much, but to see his face while being attacked was hard to watch. Where was Katie when this was happening? Hopefully she woulda had the balls to stand up to that scuzzball. I hope this turns everyone against her & she is a target from here on out. Or better yet, she never shows her face on a challenge again.
[QUOTE=Entropy;213954]I hope someone calls her out on this either on the show or on the Reunion.[/QUOTE]
I agree and I think it's a guantee that someone will. I was surprised Diem called her out, not that she has participated with Laurel or that I'm surprised she actually did it, just nice to see castmembers outside CutThroat puttign their two cents in. Wonder if this will affect Laurel involving future challenges.
I hope she doesn't try to brush it off as being drunk/stupid, and is appropriately shameful when it is brought up. I honestly don't know how I would be able to show my face [I]anywhere[/I] if I ever said that kind of thing to someone.

Not sure if you saw it or not, but she posted her apology on Facebook and someone posted it in another thread (the episode thread, I think).
I saw the apology. I know she wrote about how she feels ashamed and embarrassed. I want to see her actually be that way, on whatever reunion or aftershow we may see her on next.
[QUOTE=townie;214020]What exactly did she say/do to Eric? My Flash Player is on the fritz right now so I can't see the preview.[/QUOTE]
To put it nicely, she called him a fat ginger with a small *****.
She called him: fat, ugly, said he has not seen his *****, has not used his *****, that outside the show if he was walking on the street she wouldnt touch or talk to him, among other things..all this while Paula and Emily made out in the hot tub lol.
Wow I just saw the clip and it really was heartbreaking especially when you see Eric's face, but the apology (whether you believe its sincerity or not) is a huge step, and it takes a big person to own up to what they did not just try to make excuses for it.
But regarding the Mandi situation, there were some pretty hurtful things that Mandi has said to Laurel, so I think its quite different from Eric's situation.
Nonetheless, Laurel's comments were absolutely wrong. Sadly, almost every single person has said something horrible about someone else at some point or another, but I do believe Laurel crossed a line. Hopefully, she is sincere and she learns from this experience and recognizes its not okay, and others learn that there are lines that should never be crossed.
But bashing a person that you don't know and whose intentions you don't actually know, doesn't make you much better.

She's like a politician. Apologize because people resent her actions. If it was in earnest, she would have been less vile in the first place.
She's pathetic! Regardless of what anyone says, she thinks she's this big time challenge queen, when she wouldn't even stand a chance against Evelyn, Aneesa, Tori, or even loud mouth Sarah.
Eric, all I can say is be strong! There are idiots out there that feel necessary to put people down for the sake of masking their own self loathing.

You don't know that for a fact, how do you know she wasn't honestly bothered by the person she saw and wanted to change herself for the better. There have been reality show contestants that have changed after seeing their problems from the side.
But I absolutely agree with you 100% about Eric.

I just think that if she was "bothered" by it, she would have realized her actions during filming, not 5 months later. When you make a "mistake" and degrade a person that badly, usually the feeling of guilt settles in a lot quicker. Her actions and her response are inexcusable, and the only reason she chooses to apologize now is because of the backlash she is probably receiving from anyone with even a spec of conscious.

Her apology right now is to her fans and people the look up to her, she apologized to Eric earlier, that's why I'm inclined to believe her apology.

Totally agree. How many time did she see herself acting dumb while being drunk and verbally attacked people like that? And has she ever apologized? I'm sorry I'm not dumb enough to buy it.
I'm glad she apologized. She mentioned she apologized in interviews and during filming, so if she did that, it's not just damage control for the viewers now. Just as beecee said.
If Laurel does apologize during the next episode, like we've seen many people do in these shows for being drunk then its better then her damage control.
[QUOTE=JustAGurl;213911]I was on twitter and Emily (from DC) and Cara Marie tweeted something about Laurel apologizes about something. I click on the link to see what the big fuss is about but it just goes to my homepage on facebook.
So..not sure what thats all about :D[/QUOTE]
The "apology" is posted on here.

[strike]that's true. i agree with you 100% that we don't see everything (not even 5% of what goes down on these challenges, probably) so we have no idea the history between her and Mandi. for all we know, mandi deserved it.
i dislike laurel b/c i thinks shes super immature and has the social skills of a 13 year old. she has no sense of humor and is just stupid and overly defensive about stupid ****.[/strike]

Hi. I have read a few comments on here. I understand where you guys are coming from. I get the anger. I deserve this backlash. I don't even know what next weeks episode will be like, but it is probably disgusting. I'm so horrified by my behavior and I just can not believe I would even act like that. I want to apologize to all of you who watch the show and talk about the show on here. Fan of me or not, that is not for me to decide. I respect everyone's opinion and I am not happy that this happened, behavior like that that is just plain disgusting. ******* disgusting.
I hope that none of you are ever subjected, were ever subjected or will ever be subjected to someone acting like that. I want to thank anyone out there who has been able to forgive me - I am working on forgiving myself. What I do know is that this is a real moment in the timeline of my life. I did those things. I am ABSOLUTELY not proud of it. I was ashamed of that behavior and I apologized to Eric the next day. He did not accept my apology. I understand why. I'm sorry Eric - again. I'm sorry to all of you who have to watch it. And I hope that no one sets that as an example of how to be or how to act. It is NOT RIGHT!!!!
I can only move forward from here. There is no going back. To be honest, the reason that I didn't want to do real world when I made it to the finals is because I thought that something like this would come out in me because I am somewhat aware of who I am and I know that I had the ability to do something like that. Well, you can not hide from who you are forever. I will own up to everything I said. I will continue to say it is wrong, and that I hope no one will ever repeat or act like I did then in Prague. And I understand all of you who are angry. I am so sorry to have even put this on your television screen. I'm sorry.
Thank you for even reading,
Laurel
Laurel I was a big fan of yours on FM2 and I was excited to see you on Cutthroat and to be honest, I was completely dissapointed in that preview yesterday. I was a friend on Facebook and followed you on twitter and erased you on both (yeah big deal I know), as someone who I think is older than you, I do hope that if you do realize that your drinking and being as blunt as you are in that hurtful matter is something that you should take care of, more than apologizing to a bunch of internet people. I am glad you did apologize to Eric the next day and I hope they show that on camera cause that takes balls especially after everything you said, but for your own sake (and im just a random guy on the net) you really should take care of that issue cause in the long run your gonna alienate a lot more people than just some Challenge fans. Look at Dan and even Derrick, who had problems with drinking and they fixed it. I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't read or care about a word I've written but in the end you are a human being with flaws, just that yours were exposed on national television (the downside of reality tv) and they were ugly. I hope if you do read this, you do find a way to fix it cause deep down you are probably a cool chick, who just makes some mistakes like many of us do.
I agree with the main gist of what Entropy said.
I've been watching RW, RR, and the challenges for a very long time now. I've seen some cast members say and do some messed up things, and some of them have recovered and viewers/cast members seem to have a general overall positive opinion of them. Having so much of yourself filmed can be a good learning tool. I am hoping things will improve and go better for you, not just in your TV life, but in your regular life as well.
Thanks Entropy. I read it. I know what you mean. I am not just trying to apologize to a bunch of internet people, but currently as I am feeling these emotions that is who I can reach. I don't know if the apology to Eric will be shown. I don't know what will. All I know is that I will call him and say it to him personally if someone will just give me his number. I'm sure you can understand that he wants nothing to do with me. If he is on the reunion I will tell him there if I am unable to reach him by phone. I will own up to this. I will let that terrible behavior change me for the better. I am just sorry to all who were exposed to it.
As RW stated, use this as a learning tool, if you really mean what you are saying, which I get the vibe you are then the best way to prove it is by changing yourself, trust me you will feel a whole lot better.
