Agree. Very distasteful to publish...especially after the beautiful post he just made. You notice how Alicia said CT was one of the people she loved but a "source" made the rest of the comments. Very distasteful People Mag.
Now we have people posting hateful comments on People and now everyone will start analyzing stuff in here. SO annoying.
I get the impression Diem's family either didn't like CT or didn't accept him. Her other ex-boyfriend was a pallbearer and her friend's comments that they were friends seems very opposite to his post about long term plans and the ring. Just a feeling I get. Her ex-boyfriend posted a pic on FB and it looks like Diem's dad is in it.
IMO ct and diem knew what their relationship was..Whether other people accepted that is another thing...it also really doesn't matter anymore...shes gone. ..the only thing thats important is that they all loved her while she was here.
That article was unnecessary and uncouth if you ask me. Who are these "sources"? And why are they staying anonymous? Expose yourself if you want to be real. Are they accusing CT of lying? His friends and family were lying? How dare they. If they wanted to protect Diem's privacy they could have just said they won't comment of that because it was Diem's business. Or could have just said something along the lines of what Alicia said. And Of course People's shady magazine is running this story. The same people who put the Kardashians and Duggars on the cover 5 times a year. Smh
Even if they weren't in a relationship with titles again, they had something going on atleast judging from this pictures taken on the summer before leaving for the challenge:
I read CT's beautiful instagram post and I became overwhelmed with sadness. Especially At the part about keeping their promise to each other and that they will be together forever. I'm telling you that wrecked me.
The only thing that cheered me up is that photo of people wearing the cheesy sunglasses.
Is it tacky to wonder if that people article is at all placed there because of the nature of their contracts with the upcoming challenge theme? Could an MTV person be the source ?
It's very weird to me that the very magazine getting all the exclusives and interviews with her friends - are now quoting "sources"
From my perspective, CT's own insta post was as honest and as genuine a statement as you could ever need on their relationship ever. I think a bunch of conjecture on whether he was "really" still her man officially is besides the point. She was fighting for her life, the odds were dire, and that was (and needed to be) her entire focus towards the end. That said, it's pretty clear what CT's intentions were.
I feel quite moved after reading his post and seeing the picture (with rosary and ring). He clearly loved her with all his heart, is heartbroken but positive, and I'm very sorry for his loss.
I'm sure her family was supportive of any relationship they had. Parents want their children to be happy.
Separately, Diem's memorial video (from her service) is posted on Youtube. There are pictures of her with family, loved ones, ex-boyfriends, and yes, even CT.
RIP Diem. I read that she wanted people to continue to donate to her Medgift page (now at $81 K) and the money would go towards funding ovarian cancer research and others' cancer battles, even after hers ended.
As ct would say it not none of our business...:) i also think they enjoyed keeping whatever their relationship status was private.
All that matters is Diem loved him...and he loved her. i think diem understood who ct was and is and maybe her family weren't too high on him...but, diem seemed like a strong willed person even if people didn't like him...she was gonna do what she wanted to do...and i think they are lucky for living life that way it makes everything they went through that much more special and important especially since her life was cut short.
Even if they weren't in a relationship with titles again, they had something going on atleast judging from this pictures taken on the summer before leaving for the challenge:
Plus, multiple people that live with them on upcoming challenge say they were "together".
My Vevmo friends, please believe that Chris and Diem were together from the end of Rivals II until she passed away. They chose not to showcase it in public and I commend them for it. There's not a doubt in my mind that their love was true and real. Whatever is being written about them would cause Diem much consternation. If you have read any of what his friends are posting, you will walk away knowing that they loved each other very much. Also, she was with her previous bofriend (Sasan) for five years in LA. Many of her friends are his friends as well. I was happy to see the pictures of Diem and Chris in her memorial video. One of my favorite pictures of Diem is her "Diem Claus" one from last Christmas' Santa.com in NYC. She just radiates happiness in that photo, the kind that make people say she glows (sounds like Rudolph??). In the memorial tribute, Carrie ran the picture and Diem and Chris are both in Santa wear, holding each other for dear life.
It is total bull$hit about how everyone was speculating about them then CT posts that beautiful post that answered all our questions and within hrs People publishes that trash to make everyone speculate again.
That article may be the worst thing I've ever read in my life. We're now at the point, unfortunately, that we've moved past the initial blow of sadness from her passing onto invading Diem's, CT's and all of their loved ones' privacy for the sake of writing bullshit articles and sating our own curiousity about people we only know through a television screen. I don't want to cheapen the impact that Diem may have had on a great number of viewers, but at the end of the day I'm sure there will be days going forward that most of us wake up and go to bed without thinking about Diem and without being actively saddened by her passing. CT has to wake up every day without her and even though I'm sure he has a lot of good thoughts, her not being there will likely be a minute to minute thing that affects him, and now there have to be articles basically calling him a liar just so people can have their "OMG WERE THEY TOGETHER? DID HE PROPOSE?" fantasies answered. A human being, a geniuinely good person, just died way before it was her time. Grieve and donate to MedGift. Beyond that, leave them the hell alone.

I agree I do think it's time to just Let CT and Many others of Diem's friends and family be. But you know that's not going to happen.
I do think that what CT wrote was sweet. Almost brought me to tears Damnit!

Thank you.
This article was useless but w/e. They need to run a story on the future on MedGift and the pathetic excuse for a healthcare system in this country that led Diem having to ask for donations to recieve treatment for sickness she didn't cause and didn't want.
Even if they weren't in a relationship with titles again, they had something going on atleast judging from this pictures taken on the summer before leaving for the challenge:
I was gonna post at People, but lets face it. They will probably think its good for business even if its a "how dare you!" comment.
that article was so tawdry and dirty I had to take a shower after reading it. Really I expected better from a magazine that was her former employer. First off they can't even bother to look into their personnel records to get her age correct. For Shame! She always has been very protective of her personnel life (for example, she never mentioned she had a boyfriend (sasan) untill after they were dating for three years). Surely she did not want this to become her legacy.
I remember her saying a long time ago she thought CT was the one but wanted to make something of her own life first. And look what she's accomplished since then- how many woman now get regularly scheduled gynecological visits, how many cancer survivors found solace in her blog, how many people she informed about ovarian cancer, and how many patients she has helped with Medgift. She has done more in her shortlife than most of us will who will live almost three times longer.
CT post was beautiful and touching and shows the kind of effect she has had on his life and that he is gonna be okay. Thats what I took from it. and People magazine should have respected it.
But instead they release this article that basically equates her life with a kardashian, when she has accomplished so much more.

Ok I feel better now. Thank for letting me vent.
I'm so glad you popped up again and posted that wonderful rebuttal to the People article. I, too, was sharpening my claws to go after the author (who has been very thoughtful in writings about Diem until now). But I agree with you, it's not worth it. Chris' poignant, heartfelt, loving, beautifully written note to her with the rosaries and the ring says it all. I'm making the choice to let his words speak the volumes they do and let the trolls on people.com be who they are.
Thanks for posting this! MrChunkyExpress is the Man! He is certainly getting the right story out there and he has an awful lot of credibility, given his professional description. Wait until the "egg" speculation really starts on freakin' Twitter and Instagram. That drives me crazy. Leave it be, please.

This is the video from her memorial services that Carrie Ainsworth posted on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FdbtKoLCik4&feature=youtu.be&app=desktop
oh I thought it was different one. Nevermind lol

I so loved them together. This is heartbreaking.
Just watched the video on YouTube -- that was beautiful. The last pic of her at the end -- wow.
Its bologna, how can readers take this seriously when they cant even get her age right?
Ok I had to pop out of the lurkerverse again.
