Misplaced Loyalty?

deedledeedeedle — Mon, 13 Jun 2016 10:00:24 GMT

I really don't understand why QVC continues to stand by Lisa Rinna. There are a plethora of other vendors that QVC has thrown under the bus, so why not Lisa Rinna as well?

Some person in power is obviously smitten.

It seems that a person's character, values, manners and respect for others doesn't mean much these days. No one is held accountable for being disrespectful.

I'm overweight and forgot about what she said the day she said it.

I'm torn on this. What she said was wrong, rude, disgusting, mean, and ridiculous. One of the last few things that it's ok to make fun of in our society is being overweight. It's wrong and hurts people.

At the same time, she didn't incite violence, bigotry, and hate like so many in the public eye these days. Where are those who are upset with Rinna when people say those things? Yes, she said something totally rude and insensitive and mean.

If we fired everyone for what they say on their own time, there wouldn't be anyone on Q. I thought Joan Rivers was much worse with what she said about others. It could also be that it has nothing to do with her contract.

I agree although I was quite vocal on these boards regarding Ms Rinna.......and her views and why would QVC allow this type of person to stay in the "QVC family of vendors" the entire thread was deleted .... all the hearts that I received were deleted

as well

QVC can sweep Ms Rinna's remarks under the carpet .....they could delete posts and hearts but the damage is done what was said is out there........... and true colors of Ms Rinna have been revealed

Ms Rinna could backtrack all she wants the remarks should never have been said......

they were hateful

and QVC well...it is a shame they edit and delet the boards for lesssor infractions you think they would delete Ms Rinna from their programing

This topic is getting old and tired. When it first happened posters ranted and raved and no action was taken by QVC. Certainly nothing is going to happen now. She sells merchandise and that is all they care about. This is beating a dead horse.

IMO, her words DID incite bigotry & hate toward people who are overweight.

@2bacat

She went on a horrible rant about overweight people and much more, on Instagram.

It's best that you google it, 'cause if too much is said here about it, this thread will be locked, just like the other threads were on this subject.

I'm fat and didn't feel one bit of hate or bigotry because of her words. What she said was WRONG. She shouldn't have said it. She should apologize and learn from it. Rinna has a big mouth and what she says carries no weight with me.

We can find disrespect everywhere. Or we can focus on the good people and good things in our lives and world.

Joan Rivers was always putting people down about weight and looks. I remember when people on this board asked for QVC to get rid of her. Maybe in QVC's eyes she didn't go over the line like Paula Deen did. Just a thought.

She and she alone is held accountable. The only thing one can do if they are so offended by her is to not watch her or purchase her products. You can't control what others say or do in her regard. You can only control how you react.

What is so hard to understand? QVC is running a business. They do what is best for their business. If Lisa Rinna does not do well in the future, then it's up to QVC to make a decision.

Krimpette — Mon, 13 Jun 2016 11:23:22 GMT

I don't watch her at all. Whenever she appears on QVC, I change the channel. I don't spend a dime on her offerings. And I'm not among those she seems to abhor. To me, she's a rude, foul-mouthed individual. No redeeming social value, IMHO.

Re: Misplaced Loyalty?

tototwo — Mon, 13 Jun 2016 11:57:59 GMT

I'm out of the loop on exactly what Lisa Rinna said. But I know that some of the most hateful, nasty, insulting people in the USA are the most popular. The more insulting and disrespectful they are, the more loved they are. Lisa, Paula Deen, and the like are probably heroes to people who have the same beliefs.

Not me. I agree with @CalminHeart ~ " ... we can focus on the good people and good things in our lives and world."

Re: Misplaced Loyalty?

QVCkitty1 — Mon, 13 Jun 2016 11:58:11 GMT

If you are in business you shouldn't insult the people that you want to separate from their hard earned money. Actions should have consequences, and I think QVC dropped the ball by not axing her immediately.

birkin baby — Mon, 13 Jun 2016 12:14:33 GMT

There is a difference . Joan Rivers was a comedian. She made derogatory JOKES. Rinna is not a comedian. She signed up for a reality show(that she was dying to be on,btw) and the fans were harsh about her storyline. She got mad and let out a Twitter rant,unloading on overweight women in an unbelievably cruel way. Her daughter was on an episode and called fat people "chub chubs" while talking with Rinna. Clearly that was not a surprise random statement,as Rinna didn't blink a beautifully made up eye. When Rinna was on private time,tweeting her thoughts, her true character came out. I don't care how angry a person gets ,those CRUDE ideas don't just pop out unless they are in their head. So the Q seems to love her and she is going nowhere. That's their right. It's mine to watch or not watch her shows and buy or not buy her wares. I choose to NOT.
