I've been over Antonella and her grifting for many years now.

Antonella on Facebook.  Again.   Just sayin'

Why even post something like this??  It makes no sense whatsoever.

Some people like to hear updates about former hosts.  I don't think it's all that unusual.

My take on it is I think yhey are asking why is post worded like that... there is so little info on the original post as to what it actually means, aka why her being on FB is something to point out

I think a lot of posters here are hung up on Lisa Robertson.

I don't mean this to be snarky but the young man needed an editor. The title of his book which I just saw on this forum should read A Tale of Haribasko not Tail.

Self published books almost never generate money. This is common knowledge. If the project was enjoyable and rewarding for Antonella's son, that's great. But it's certainly not a substitute for a job.

My friend self published a book which was very well written but I believe mostly friends and family read it.  However, he has a Ph.D in English/literature.  It is very difficult to get a book published.

I guess I am in the dark about the Antonella story--knew she had cancer and was living on a boat but nothing more than that. And can I also say--what is up with that one poster who always post about LR and her adventures??? I've never read any of those--just not interested-- but man alive, THAT person needs to get a life--outside of LR World!!!

I don’t understand why Antonella doesn’t try finding a job!!! I’m guessing that she thinks she’s too good to work an ordinary job after she’s been a QVC host, or it’s easier to ask her “followers “ for a handout. She definitely don’t mind playing the woe Is me part. Geez, get a job and quit mooching off people!! 😡

Using "Tail" in the title was probably chosen on purpose as a dual wordplay or a lore-specific metaphor and creative symbol. Based on that I believe it is correct.

That's a possibility I hadn't considered. I hope you are right @Lovestheshores.

@Glitter51  Wasn't Antonella a medical lab technician? I would think with a refresher that would be a good career  but maybe a job limits the boat life?

There are millions of books available. Every author thinks that their book is the best and everyone should buy it. For Antonella to abuse her loyal followers by asking them to buy it and write reviews, and then whine within a few weeks when things don’t go their way is just too much. I hope people wise up and stop supporting her at every turn. She has worn out her sympathy card.
