Melissa Rycroft & Tye Strickland - Discussion

Nothing since then has changed me mind about her.  She has cute children, but it doesn't actually make me like her.  Just hope that the children have a better influence than their fame ho mom in their life.  

When she came out trashing JPG last year, I just wanted to smack her and tell her to shut up and get off my tv again!

Not that I am a JPG fan, but how does she trash JPG after admittedly continuously and desperately chasing a guy who was posting billboard size, flashing neon red flags that he just wasn't that into her?

And admitting to everyone that she basically lied to everyone in America when she went on AFTR and claimed that she was upset that Jason was breaking up with her, when in fact she had been back with Tye from the day she got back from filming. "Why didn't you tell me in private?" Probably because you weren't answering his phone calls and were spending all your time with Tye instead! I can't dislike this woman more.

Ditto all the above posts. 
I never liked her on TB and found out quite a bit of "dirt" during the season it just completed the picture. It was no wonder her parents wanted nothing to do with the show. 
Somehow I would like to think she met her Prince, but really I don't think so. Time will tell. 
I can't imagine other than monetary reasons why someone would publish such a denigrating book about themselves and then follow it up by a movie. 

I think she has a right to criticize JPG if she wants just as he has the right to not care. 

I actually liked her during Jason's season and afterward but she's losing me now. This is just icky & not worth it. My thought when watching the video is that she went on TB to make Tye jealous and I guess it worked.

Yep, exactly. The cheerleader outfit didn't work, but being on tv did.

It's very cringe worthy. I hope they paid her well.

I don't know exactly why or how I stumbled over this, but it made me throw up in my mouth.

IMO that's exactly why she went on the show but I believed that even before her book came out or seeing this video preview.

I actually recorded the episode and watched the rest of it recently. I couldn't make myself watch the beginning again. Of course that was the part where Tye couldn't live without her blah blah blah. I would never have done that show in a million years. How embarrassing. She still gets GMA work & I'm sure other things so why do it?

I have always felt she was screwed up--so that could be the easy answer.

What what show is this?

I always knew that the narrative she (or perhaps I should say whoever was representing and advising her at the time) constructed as the injured party in the post-TB breakup wasn't the truth but then I could never understand how she could then write things in her book that proved that narrative was not true. And now she's unabashedly supporting a TV edition of her book which equally shows how different reality was from the narrative. Screwed up may be the best explanation.

Her parents' reactions over the year, say a lot.
