The Gander Can’t Take the Heat

There appears to be no end to the ridiculous, obsessive and sociopathic behavior of Charles E. Phillips, Jr. He has his “hack” of a lawyer, Lisa Bloom, continuously attempt to have my websites shut down because I have chosen to document the egregious stalking and harassment that my family, friends and I have endured for over 3 1/2 years at the hands of Phillips. First, Bloom writes...

KIN TO PATIENTS OF OKLAHOMA DENTIST

As the story broke last week regarding Dr. W. Scott Harrington, a 30-year dentist in Oklahoma, I immediately became physically ill. He is accused of extreme disregard for public safety in that possibly exposed more than 7,000 patients to HIV, Hepatitis B and C. This parasite of a human being not only reused dental equipment without sterilization, but he reused equipment he previously used on...

THE BOY WHO CRIES WOLF

More than three years after ending my sham of a relationship with Charles E. Phillips, Jr., he unfortunately is still very much a part of my everyday life. Though I have moved on from that chapter of my life – starting several businesses, executive producing and directing my documentary, writing 2 memoirs, etc. – Charles Phillips has relentlessly sent lawyers and private investigators...

HOME TEAM ADVANTAGE

After the ordeal surrounding the last four film festivals around the country, I assembled my team to strategize our game plan for the next two film festivals screening THE GLAMOROUS LIE. More determined than ever, it was my mission to beat Charles E. Phillips, Jr. at his own game of waiting until 24-hours before each screening to send cease and desist letters to the film festivals and theaters to...

Desert Storm

Although I have never been a fan of Las Vegas – the city bores me to tears – young members of my team have never had the opportunity to visit Sin City so it is fitting the fourth film festival to accept THE GLAMOROUS LIE as an official selection is Vegas Cinefest (Cinefest). With guns-a-blazzing, I asked my press agent (Henry Eshelman) and legal eagles (Marty Singer {Lavely Singer},...

THE CHINESE WALL

As my redeye flight landed from LAX to JFK on September 18, 2012, I began tweeting about my excitement over the “world premiere” of my feature length documentary, “THE GLAMOROUS LIE” at the Harlem International Film Festival, which was to be followed by screenings at Atlanta DocuFest and Salt Lake City Film Festival later that weekend. “This is going to be a great weekend,” …or so I...

Note From A Morgan Stanley Investor

Although Facebook launched its IPO with several underwriters, my concern is with Morgan Stanley.  As an investor with the financial powerhouse, it is deeply troubling that Morgan Stanley skates the line of insider trading by claiming it acted in compliance with all current regulations.  (This is the same insider selective disclosure that brought down Merrill Lynch’s Henry Blodget back in...

Being Religious Doesn’t Make You Anti-Gay Any More Than Being Gay Makes You Anti-Religious

I had never heard of Chick-fil-A (CFA) until 2001, when I began dating a man from Atlanta. Dubbed the queen-of-all-things-Gen-X, the man was shocked to learn that not only had I not eaten at a CFA, but also that I had never even heard of it. He immediately booked us a flight from New York to Atlanta that morning just so I could try one of his childhood favorite foods. Skeptical, I proclaimed...
