What are your thoughts?

So, back story: A couple years ago there was an author that got into some big shit because her husband is apparently a pedo, and an all around creeper. She was at a signing I went to. I even specifically remember calling my hubs from the event because she and her creepy sat behind me and I kept feeling very uncomfortable around him. No you must know, it didn’t come out about him till about 6 months later. She had a cover model with her as well, and he is just a delight. So, for those of you that don’t know, when you request a cover model, there is a LOT of money involved in that. Money not only to use their picture on your book, but also if you want them to come to an event. You have to pay their travel, room, and event expenses. (Not their food from what I understand). She broke a contract with said model, and did not pay him for his photo as well. He was out quite a bit of money on this. He also wasn’t the only one. She broke contracts on about 3 other models she had covers of. That’s a HUGE no no in this business. Come to find out that her creepy was also going around saying vastly inappropriate things to many of the women at the event. She was also asking if some of the KIDS come could talk and hang out with her creep!!! LIKE WTF?!!?! She was a known accomplice to his actions, and their daughter was even one of the victims! It’s sickening really… After the charges came out about her husband, and even her part in his offenses she dropped from Author World. Smart move honestly.

WELL GUESS WHO’S BACK?! Yup… she reemerged yesterday out of the blue begging for people to understand her being a victim and also how people are trying to say she’s a bad person. How she shouldn’t have to pay for the pictures on her cover, or reimburse the models she had at the events. She won’t even apologize for knowingly allowing her husband around children. She wrote some long A$$ post about how she should be given another chance and that she’s not been able to write in the past couple years.

Here are my thoughts: I was not personally approached by her husband, and I steered clear of him the entire event. I even stayed away from being behind my table for most of that event. I knew something wasn’t right, and I was alone. My momma didn’t raise a fool. But, I am PI$$ED about her knowingly endangering the children that were there. Adults can handle their own, I’m not too worried about a woman putting a creep in his place. I’m more interested in her requesting CHILDREN to come hang out KNOWING what her husband is. I’m a teacher of littles. It is my job to protect kids, in the classroom or not. I’m sick to my stomach that she is trying to talk her way out of what she did. A parent should NEVER have to ask their child questions about this kind of thing, especially at a book signing event.

What are your thoughts? Should she be given another chance? Should she crawl back under a rock? Insights please…
