I kindly request that all members participating in the MM and Harry thread dial back the vile rhetoric.

I am not opposed to discussing public personas on TPF, including the constant torrent of news surrounding the couple from this thread. But I find it troubling when their looks are being nitpicked apart to a degree that is just not appropriate.

This thread has drawn criticism over the years, and I discussed it at great length with Megs and the mods. I am not looking to close it down, but the vitriol needs to be dialed back.

My personal feelings about hate threads aside, this ultra-negative vibe is something better suited for other forums, Reddit, or elsewhere. I am holding our community to higher standards.

Thanks for reading.

But we need a special T-shirt for Megsy Baby as well, we wouldn't want her to feel left out. You KNOW how upset she gets when she feels ignored. :wtf:

As always, Shakespeare said it best...

"Mega-lies, get thee to a nunnery, go. Farewell. Or, if thou wilt needs marry, marry a fool; wise men know well enough what monsters you make of them. To a nunnery, go, and quickly too."

Since a nunnery at that time was a house of prostitution, I think she sort of already did (Soho House).

A few strange rumors, falsehoods?

True. A friend’s relative is a realtor in Montecito. It is not listed for sale on public sites, but is brokered Privately. Any prospective buyers are thoroughly vetted. Having been occupied by the Suckesses has added NO value to the property. In some circles they were the brunt of jokes when they purchased it, although the successful agents who sold it would have celebrated, it had been on the market for five years. The size evidently impressed H and TW, it’s listed as having 19 bathrooms, not 16. Some may be half baths. Most of the main house is not used, maintenance has been minimal. Any profit, when and if they can unload it, would be due to overall inflation in real estate prices, not any noticeable enhancements.

Allegedly, they have not been looking for other homes in the area for purchase.

Information on the property data sheet published on line shows the Property Taxes, $144,427 annually, or $12,035.58 a month. That amount should be pocket change for them, but probably is a shock to H, who likely thinks people should be paying he and TW to live there, them being linked, at least tenuously, to Royalty.

Montecito has a local, widely read I was told, free magazine, the Montecito Journal. A local columnist, Richard Mineards, is a 13 year resident, an expat from GB who once wrote for the Daily Mail and the Telegraph. He pointed out two years ago that, in contradiction to H’s claims, they had not become a part of the community. That hasn’t changed. My friend has shared people continue to be put off by them. It was hoped Harry might join the Polo Club, but his only participation has been with Nacho and once his bromance departed, it ended. Rumor is she doesn’t like it and it costs too much. She is memorable only for her gauche behavior with the Polo Tournament trophy and her staged pap shopping trips. Mineards mentions them infrequently in his local gossip column but recently was interviewed by a Scottish publication seeking his opinion on SPARE. Sparing no words, he said it is “reprehensible” and calls H out for his failures. Only 30 copies have been sold at the local, independent bookstore. Montecito is a city of 8,638. One resident said “they are like a soap opera.”

It did not go unnoticed that H and TW appeared to be the focus in leaked pictures of guests at Ellen’s birthday party recently.

Pretty much the attitude about H and TW resembles “don’t let the door smack you in the azz on your way out of Montecito”. And no one seems to be speaking up to dispute their disastrous popularity ratings.

Isn't there an ongoing issue with an unpleasant odor in the vicinity of the house? I recall reading some blather by MM about seeing the listing for the house and dreaming of being able to buy it. Sounds like they made the classic first time buyer mistake of buying with your heart not your head and are now stuck with a white elephant they can't afford. And didn't they buy it at a very steep discount from the original listing price? Can't wait for the sheriff's sale. Or maybe Ellen and Portia could bail them out and then flip it.
