Saw her on HSN a few days ago selling some teeth-whitening device. Took me a minute to realize who she was as she looks different from her Q days.

What happened to Patti Reilly? She lost some weight & her whole personality changed. I know a lot of people who lost weight whose personalities stayed the same.

She's been working steadily in the beauty industry since her QVC days and now she's representing that product.  She's looks beautiful but she she was always beautiful.  It was so odd that so many QVC posters reacted so badly when she lost weight.  Yes, she was proud of her weightloss but I don't recall her being obnoxious about it.  Patti and Lisa R both lost weight and began seriously working out the same time; and LR did go on ad nauseum about being size 2 and her workouts.  Patti didn't do that but went on the attack against Patti and loved and supported LR.  It was the weirdest thing.  I remember  Patti had great hair at the time and omg...posters hated it when she said that...lol  The excuse was that Patti's personality changed.  Maybe it did because she had more confidence after she lost weight and firmed up but is that a bad thing?  Although, I don't believe her personality changed.  Posters just resented her for changing her body.

I always got an " Eve Harrington " vibe from Patti. I thought she was obnoxious.  It was uncomfortable watching her. However, I hope she is happy and sucesssful in her current endeavors.

I wonder if it's the same tooth whitening system that Lisa Mason used to represent? Dr Smiley???

I didn't mind Patti that much but I loved Lisa Mason.

She went from being a pleasant informative QVC host, to a narcisstic, "all about me" Lisa Robertson wanna be....she became obnoxious....flirting with all the male vendors....I was happy when she left QVC.....

Patti was selling It Cosmetics on HSN for about a year, until Jamie left completely over the summer/early fall 2019.  Loreal either let Patti go, or Patti left on her own.  Good for her for jumping right back in with a different brand.

I was looking at her FB, I had forgotten about her. Desiree Z from IT is her BFF, so working for IT for awhile makes sense. I forgot she worked at Foxwood Casino too. Cute house in ATL. Still full of herself though.

@remeI agree with you Spurt.  I remember thinking that it was all about her.
