I am not trying to be a jerk or a offend anyone especially not the dead. I love their love story and think Diem was beautiful and so full of life and gone too soon. I can delete the post. Just was thrown off by her ex's photos. They seemed crazy serious, dated a long time, he was around at the end, and dated I think even last year.
Diem's relationship w/Sasan was over when she moved to New York in 2013. They remained friends. They were a couple for five years; her friends were his and vice versa. He is apparently a very nice man and I can imagine he was devastated when it didn't work out for them. He was very close to her family.
She and Chris got back together after Rivals II in 2013 (like September-ish). Chris went on vacation with Diem and the Brown family a number of times, starting w/Christmas that year including a trip that coincided with his birthday. Although I'm sure that Diem loved Sasan, Chris was the love of her life.
Can we please drop the talk about him. Please. This is the reason why every Diem thread get shut down. People just don't know how to act.
Anyways.....
I think the idea of a Medgift dancing competion fundrasier would be fun! Maybe not now but later on I could see them trying that. It would be such a fantastic way to honor Diem's memory and keep her spirit alivie.

Excuse me? How is this conversation any different that all of the "egg" speculation on this thread? Because her ex's name is written? It was in all the articles and photos recently and it is following the advent of articles which seemed to cast aspersions on Chris' lovely tribute to her. I take offense to your comment that people don't know how to act.

The reason why we were talking about it is because CT posted that dedication for Diem. I dont think there is an issue with talking about that. Diem just passed, he posted a sweet letter to her and that is where the discussion went. Although, I dont think we should debate all the details of their relationship. I dont think there is any harm in talking about CT and Diem. That was a big part of the Diem we grew to know and love. I wish the best for that guy, I really do. I hope he takes his time to mourn and then he shows us a better CT. The man Diem knew. Im sad and excited for him but everything in good time.

I dont care what age she was. Fact is Diem was an INCREDIBLE human being that handled the cards she was dealt with grace and strength.
Furthermore. That people article is very insensitive. Diem hasnt even been in the ground 48 hrs and they are posting about her relationship?? What the ****? How about let her family and CT mourn instead of creating a bogus story to keep traffic on their websites. How is if that they can not name sources but before, they named every **** body that Diem knew. It is disgusting and quite frankly I feel they are exploiting her.
And am I the only one who doesnt want CT to just move on as if none of this happened? Of course I want to see him prosper and excel and have an amazing life. But so quickly? I beg to differ. Diem just passed away, it hasnt even been a month. I think he should take all the time he needs to grieve and then move on but not so hastily...I think he may disappear for a few months and then reemerge. Maybe I am different but, I have lost a lot of people in my life and although I kept pushing on, it took me a while to be ok again.
I agree. It would bother me if Chris moved on too fast but at the same time I don't want him dwelling on it too much either. I think Chris will be just fine though and strike the right balance. The new Chris and what he is working on right now might even have to do with a project or MedGift, you never know. Time will tell.
I would love if he got involved with Medgift. I am super excited to see what his upcoming project is. His friend seemed super positive. His friend promised Diem he would take care of him. His moving on isn't going to be to another women, it is going to be making something of his life and living life with Diem in his heart. We will never know what their final conversation was but "Don't be afraid to live" was probably in it. It coincides with his, "I won't be scared" comment. I know when my grandmother died of cancer fast (back in 06' - on Aug 30 she was totally feeling good, a few days later she went down hill quick and Sept 16th she was dead) - she stressed to us and to my dad that she didn't want us sitting around sad and that we should not be afraid to live happy lives.
I agree, other women is not what was meant by a new CT. I think he does have special plans in mind for his future and helping others. If he does find someone new in a few years, I would understand though because Diem wants him to be happy, but I know CT really does not want to be with anyone else anytime soon. I also know that any new woman will know about Diem and he will let her know that he loves her but he will also always love Diem and she needs to understand that. I don't think it will be like you are second best type thing, more like him having two loves of his life. But anyway, that is way way down the road and I think his plans for 2015 could be around charity work or help with MedGift in some way. Should be interesting to see. I think Diem has inspired him like never before!

I won't shut any Diem threads down. I feel some of the discussions are a bit mind blowing at times but we were all fans of hers and I think it is important to have an outlet to discuss our feelings.
I'm going to let it alone. I'm just going to articulate my feelings first. I can't help but being very confused with all of this. Please don't jump all over me for venting, but I'm sure someone here must feel the same way. I know it's "none of our business", but I just don't get it. This "relationship" seems kind of one sided. I love Diem, and I am NOT judging, I am just trying to understand. She put her family and friends out there. She took us through her cancer journey. How much more open can someone be? This is why I don't understand the "privacy" about her relationship with CT. I mean Sean Penn, who HATES papparazzi, doesn't try to hide his relationship with Charlize Theron and they are likely hounded. It kind of makes me think that she may have loved CT, but not been in love with him. Most people are happy to let the world know they have found their soul mate. NONE of her friends or family have posted about her being in love. It's actually kind of denied. It's just him and HIS friends. It kind brings me back to Wes yelling about the "fake relationship". I totally believe CT's feelings, I just don't see them being reciprocated and I find that kind of sad.
The conversation on here is mindblowing, jesus. You guys don't know them personally. You know what you see of them once a year on television and what they CHOOSE to put out there on social media. Before the end of her battle CT didn't post too much about Diem either.
RDP the fact that you could derive your own conclusion that their love was one sided is mind boggling to me. He just posted one of the heartbreaking emotional posts I've ever seen, shedding light on a lot of things we've wanted to know since she started fighting. We also know he was in New York with her the whole time.
Don't create your own absurd conclusions that CT loved Diema nd she didn't return it because one it's irrelevant and two it's totally far-fetched. The girl just died, mourn for her family, mourn for her friends, remember her. Don't make crazy assumptions like she's one of your good friends. Because, she's not. She's a public figure that we all feel sad to have lost so young, but it's absolutely disrespectful for you to treat it like this.

Sorry. Disrespect was never my intention. I won't post anymore.
Today has actually been a good day. I havent felt too sad or cried. But the whole thing still seems unreal to me. I cant wait to see what her loved ones do to keep her message and spirit alive in the future. She lived a beautiful life. I will always remember Diem( Danielle Michelle) Brown Hope everyone is having a great day!
Man.. Is everyone always this sensitive around here? All this doubt came when People( the very mag she blogged for) published their article. I don't think it's disrespectful to discuss THEIR claims. It appears her age is in question and I for one never knew her real name was Danielle. I knew Ct's real name was Chris though. Also, as stated by rdp she has shared all kinds of personal stuff on IG and other media but never really shared about CT. When did Wes say anything about a fake relationship? I never heard that. CT did say a couple of times on past episodes that she didn't want him.
Over the last year or so, I have searched and found every sighting or picture of CT and Diem together. I know they were together at least in some aspect, and I believe that she truly loved him and was planning a future with him. I just don't understand why not even one of her friends has even alluded to him being her love. The video montage of her was beautiful and captured her spirit, but certainly didn't give any indication that he was as big a part of her life the last year and a half as the sightings and pictures etc would suggest. I'm sure they wanted to keep it very private because of social media and possibly even because of the theme of the upcoming challenge towards the end, but I just find it really odd and sad that Chris is, at least publicly, being cut out of her life by those closest to her.
There was also another picture in the video. It was at her 80's themed birthday party. They are posing together and CT is standing beside her in a pink wig with funky 60's glasses on. The wig looks like the one she wore when she was on Rivals 2.
Go read the comments on the People article... There is a lot of stuff being said. One guy is claiming CT got a girl named Dani pregnant from Bad Girls and that she's going around discussing it. If y'all think we are being disrespectful here then u better head over there and yell at the people over there bc it is 10000x worse!
I say if they spent Christmas and NY together they had to be pretty serious.. Unless they were just together for promotional events??

Yeah Bananas went with CT/Diem to the 80s themed party. He even instagramed a picture with them both awhile ago. They were 100% together and if people don't believe that then so be it. They were in love and will meet again one day and that is all that matters.
Also did anyone else see the picture Ace instagramed with some cast members that attended Diem's funeral. They all looked to be in good spirits, celebrating Diem's life the way she would have wanted.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinions and thoughts. I am not ok with you attacking anyone for opening up about how they feel.
I said I would keep this thread open as an outlet for us all to heal but everyone should try to relaxe today. I personally struggled with yesterday. CT posted such a beautiful post and it left me feeling so at peace and that People article really upset me, I thought it was super screwed up. I spent the rest of the day ranting on People, and talking through my feelings. I have plenty of thoughts but I think we need to try and get back to positive posts about Diem in here.
I am more then happy to talk through any CT/Diem stuff with anyone who wants to PM me but let's try to relaxe in here. Continue to be open but let's try not to make it a whole day of going off about what were CT and Diem.
Her legacy touches new people every day. I just heard on facebook that my old law school buddy's wife is having another surgery for an ongoing condition and he is creating a medgift support page for her as she's been having complications and he's been overwhelmed by paying for bills. He is very relieved medgift is out there.
(Also, nice to see CT with his family getting suppport, and holding yellow flowers - her favorite. And Nia posted a moving instagram about Diem's ongoing impact on her: http://instagram.com/p/vnAJD5l0l-/?modal=true. Jemmye and Jess both posted nice replies. Nice to see everyone expressing, connecting and supporting each other during this rough time.)
I'm not attacking anybody. I'm just tired of people taking the wrong things out of this. I just don't think it's right to act like people were in their personal lives and fill other people's heads with most likely wrongful assumptions.
Just saying.. Maybe Sasan was People's source. Interesting that it came out pretty soon after CT's beautiful post today.
Diem's relationship w/Sasan was over when she moved to New York in 2013. They remained friends. They were a couple for five years; her friends were his and vice versa. He is apparently a very nice man and I can imagine he was devastated when it didn't work out for them. He was very close to her family.

Thanks nmanderson for all that Info. That clears everything up for me. RIPDIEM
