Re: Patti Reilly on HSN

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.

That's not true her personality DID change, she used to talk about her nieces/nephews, her dogs, decorating her new condo.  A change did occur, and she became self focused and rude.  Here's comments from old posts:

 

  1. Patti was was horrendous on a show with Kathy Van Zeeland.  She constantly talked over Kathy, kept poking her hands into the bag Kathy was trying to display and at one point took the TSV and actually stepped on it after scrunching it up and rolling it into a ball!! If looks could kill...you could tell exactly what Kathy was thinking about Patti, she couldn't hide it. Shortly after, they went to a short break and Kathy was gone and her assistant showed the next item with Patti. Kathy came back on but the show was all downhill from there. Patti acted like a rude self-indulgent brat. Totally unprofessional. 

2. She kept babbling on and on and Dennis Basso actually said, "Shut up Patti" on air.....

 

 3. She was rude to the Clark's vendor 

 

4. She was rude to the models in one show

 

5. Philip Katz with the Jackie O jewelry line put Patti in her place... he told her to "RELAX AND TAKE A BREATH NOW" you could tell he was very irritated by her !!! Philip  had more than he could take of Patti's rude and childish bs.

 

6. Patti is so annoying, forget her looks. She talks over guests and is loud and obnoxious.I hate watching her when she's on. She may know the product, but does she have to talk over the guest speaker and tell them to "hold up, hold up, over here guys look at me" (seriously that's what she said with a TSV). You would think Q would speak to her about how rude she is.

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.

So she lives in ATL now?  I thought after the Q she moved to LA.

@Spurt. You're spot on. I would say " emotionally immature " is about the way I would describe her. Mixed with that narc personality.

Linda Moss's Home Shoppingnista Blog posted her "farewell" and it sounds like her makeover and weight loss wasn't a cure all---it sounded like Patti had a lot of personal issues going on....trying to find herself...

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.


@Caaareful Shopper  - I didn't realize she left IT.  Thought she was still Educational Director.

@Spurt she definitely loves making her FB videos. She's an odd one. Extremely similar to a former Q host.

@San Antonio Gal  No, she's gone.  She never really announced it.  But she started doing homemade, very informal, beauty demonstrations of various brands from a tiny room in her home in Atlanta.  That started in early fall 2019.  A poster asked her if she was still with It Cosmetics and she replied, "No."  She said she was doing her own thing.  Don't know what happened there.

@KKJ the videos posted were current, in her home and yard, talking about her ATL home and loving it.

I love indoor kitty's observation.
