Her worries about her brand and image have caused her to damage her brand and image.

I don't even get this explanation in refusing to sit for a deposition for two plaintiffs who sued the same hip replacement provider she sued, unless her brand and image was just being being a run-of-the-mill dick.

Truth is, though, that two or four mil probably ain't going far.  You know she has a million-dollar-plus house and a good chunk in cars, too.

If an employer ain't footing most of the bill, that shit's expensive.  So, she probably didn't have health insurance.  But it was mostly a matter of choice.

Still grifty.

NBA players Gold medal winning gymnasts with huge endorsement contracts, announcing careers, and well-careered ex-husbands make a lot of money.  But they spend a lot of money, too.

Paying for insurance sucks until you need it. Then when you need it they fight you on things. I had melanoma several years back and it’s a hoot…funny ha ha…with how they look at me. It’s fucking  fabulous. This whole Mary Lou story is like the Blind Side stuff. Dig under the surface of what appears to be a wholesome story and yuck.

it wouldn’t surprise me if she was anti-vax. Certainly not at all anti Obama care or insurance. Need the money to stock her bar and probably the butler’s pantry. I bet she has hooch hidden in drawers and closets all over her mansion. Literally. 

The space time continuum has been fucked by Covid. It’s not like we weren’t in our separate camps before that but now it’s irretrievably fucking broken. The people I pushed into Lady Bird Lake should be grateful they aren’t dealing with all this. They’d be ravaged like the swamp man from all the algae anyway. Like a superhuman but molting. 

Mary Lou looks pretty bad. Didn’t know about her hip shit but she seems like someone who could put away 48 Zima’s without breaking stride or even getting a buzz. That’s what’s tragic. I just don’t like all the go fund me crap people are abusing. It’s like every day is a new one and some are really needed. Mary Lou made her decisions but because of her fame she doesn’t have to pay for them (via medical bills) and won’t learn a damn thing from this. Yuck.

Boy, she really handsprung'd her way into fringe, batshit mediocrity and won't be around to stick the landing.  Kudos to her and her family though for taking advantage of the stupids and getting rich doing it.  A fisherman always sees another fisherman from afar.

She is ~1½ years younger than me but seems to have "smokers lips" type creases.

& As to her crowdsourced fundraiser... imagine, getting large masses or people to share in your medical expenses (socialism).

By all accounts, Retton has the money or assets to pay for her medical bills. If she gambled without insurance, she should take the hit. Now maybe it's possible that while she was unable to make decisions in the hospital, her daughter made the wrong choice to beg for money but Retton is in a place to correct that mistake. 

I also doubt we see many more Retton interviews unless it's like with an entertainment reporter or perhaps on ABC's coverage of the Olympics. With any real reporter, Retton won't be able to explain her recent lie that she couldn't get insurance because of pre-existing conditions. And if she couldn't afford insurance due to low income, the govt helps with that.

She aged about as I expected.
