Expecting Lisa Marie Presley wounded by ‘Vicious’ Remarks
Posted on March 8th, 2008 by Hot Momma
Lisa Marie Presley wasn’t thrilled when pictures of her emerged looking rather bloated and the cruel comments that followed. She wrote on her blog that she was sick of the media calling her a fat pig, so she had no choice but to reveal her pregnancy. Here is what she said:
” After being the target all week of slanderous and degrading stories, horribly manipulated pictures and articles in the media, I have had to show my cards and announce under the gun and under vicious personal attack that I am in fact pregnant.
Once they got a glimpse of my expanding physique a few days ago, they have been like a pack of coyotes circling their prey whilst eerily howling with delight. Starting with a London publication and then New York and Chicago all writing false defamatory degrading stories about all of the dark possible reasons I could be putting on weight. The US tabloids have been calling all day wanting confirmation on all kinds of insane theories. They couldn’t wait to find out if my weight gain was because I was just overeating, in which case It would be open season and they can do the old following in her fathers sad and unfortunate demise story again or less interesting for them and probably much to their dismay, I could just be pregnant and therefore have a legitimate reason for weight gain at which point they should probably wipe the saliva off of their fangs and put them back in their mouths or they may expose the black little souls that they are.
Now that things are confirmed, hopefully they can stop all of the harassment and I can stop dodging the continuous bullets. It is unfortunate that I couldn’t have announced something that is this much of a blessing and that has made us so incredibly happy under better circumstances. How they have handled themselves with this has been nothing short of irresponsible and disgusting. Pardon my seething contemptuous tone but ladies, You KNOW if you were pregnant and you felt you were expanding uncontrollably by the moment as a result and the worldwide media started badgering and harassing you for it, plastering you everywhere in an unflattering light, you would be mortified as well.”
Presley, 40 says she hopes this will now “stop all of the harassment, and I can stop dodging the continuous bullets.
She laments: “It is unfortunate that I couldn’t have announced something that is this much of a blessing and that has made us so incredibly happy under better circumstances.”
Update: Presley according to reports now plans legal action against the Daily Mail newspaper the originators of photos and media comments about her weight, which forced her to reveal she is pregnant.
Her lawyer Simon Smith said Presley was “deeply offended and upset” by the claims, which featured in numerous tabloid newspapers.
The BBC reports her representatives have filed a libel claim against Associated Newspaper’s the Mail’s parent company, in the high court in London.
Amen Lisa. I don’t know why I read this stuff. A lot of it seems so mean.
LMP needs to seriously get over her fat pregnant or not self……she’s not that important.
if she wasn’t so vain and didn’t care what anyone thought she wouldn’t have released ANY statement. she acts like she was forced to. NOT
