Members Contessa Donatella Posted February 27 Members Share Posted February 27 I understand. There will be times when I am talking about something not to your liking but I don't mind at all if you don't want to read it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members carolineg Posted February 27 Members Share Posted February 27 It's a very slippery slope on the KS stuff. If she loses a bunch of weight now it's going to be out there that she is taking weight loss drugs instead of getting actually healthy. The mental health issues tied to her weight (from rumors so..) are much more serious than her actual weight. No one really cares Maxie isn't rail thin. If the poor girl can't figure out what to wear and is having panic attacks that's a real problem. I just feel like people at GH should care a little bit more about Kirsten Storms than having a thin Maxie, who is useless anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Contessa Donatella Posted February 27 Members Share Posted February 27 There are people at the show who care about her & frankly don't care at all about her weight. She puts that on herself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted February 27 Members Share Posted February 27 (edited) It's one thing to discuss the situation with Kirsten we've all seen onscreen and heard tell about for years openly, which we have done before on here over the years. It's another to do an alleged minute by minute blow-by-blow of the (quoted) 'good news' that she might be on Ozempic. That is crass to me. And furthermore, it's not like anyone who doesn't glance at GH twitter doesn't know that most of what some folks are gleaning these days is stuff they simply pick up or postulate from discussions on social media and then proudly tout as scoop. I've had no problem in the past being blunt about KS' obvious issues onscreen in these threads, but there's stuff BTS at soaps I have not discussed publicly because I either can't source it or just plain don't think it's appropriate to discuss or fair to the subject in question. It's really not that necessary to still be perceived as being 'in the know.' No one will be impressed by it.

Members carolineg Posted February 27 Members Share Posted February 27 Okay. But at what point do you just see this woman is struggling and might need a break? I am not in KS's head and don't know her at all, but I doubt her weight gain is about her inability to stop eating. It's a mental health issue and glorifying her taking weight loss pills to get thin isn't solving anything. I'll get off my soapbox now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ranger1rg Posted February 27 Members Share Posted February 27 Donna, I'm again in the minority here, but I have no problem with your sharing the news of Kirsten Storms possibly taking Ozempic. Your post was positive and empathetic, and wasn't salacious or gossipy at all. You focused on KS's happiness. I don't see anything wrong with what you said or that you posted. If we shut down posts like yours, most of social media has to be shut down. KS is a public figure. That means she lives by the media and dies by the media. That's just life. The fact is, Storms gets mostly sympathy for her troubles, medical and emotional, and many media figures don't. This board has been kind to her, and you are included in that group. So yeah, you have a right to share that information without judgment that you're somehow violating some moral code. You said nothing wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members janea4old Posted February 27 Members Share Posted February 27 (edited) I personally felt uncomfortable about this particular thing mentioned in this particular way, and I bluntly said so. But it was not my intent to make a generalized statement about what should or should not be posted here.

Members dragonflies Posted February 27 Members Share Posted February 27 Plus I read he's only taping through March? I don't know if that's true. I can see Spencer back in time for May sweeps 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Aragorn Posted February 27 Members Share Posted February 27 The show has been dark the last two weeks. I imagine that all that March episodes were filmed in early February. When production starts again, will they be doing April episodes, or have they been done already? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members carolineg Posted February 27 Members Share Posted February 27 I don't think there is any ill intent here with talking about Kirsten Storms and her weight loss. I just think we are missing a larger problem. If KS is thin and taking Ozempic everything is good right? You don't physically see a problem on screen, but in general it's just a band aid on bigger issues. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted February 27 Members Share Posted February 27 (edited) It's gross that we're even weighing in on this (and I'm not blaming caroline, to be clear). Discussing Kirsten's obvious past issues and whether she's doing well enough to still be on contract with the show is one thing. Debating the merits or pitfalls of her supposed Ozempic intake on a daily basis and trying to gauge it onscreen from tape to air is another. I don't personally have a burning need to be at the center of every conversation in every single thread on the board that I will just float saying literally anything about a person to pull focus to myself. It's not worth it to me. Edited February 27 by Vee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ranger1rg Posted February 27 Members Share Posted February 27 With all that we know about personaities in entertainment, sports, and politics, Ozempic is where you draw the line? Donna said nothing wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
