Interesting that the media did not talk about HER checkered past as a stripper/call girl/ but kept calling her a "swimsuit model". There are so many girls like this one in Vegas and LA that I'm surprised that more tragedies haven't occured.

Don't feel badly for him though either.

Weird. Your post seems to put some sort of blame on the victim because she may/was a stripper/call girl, etc. I didn't realize that was a precursor to being a stigmatized victim.

What has her occupation got to do with her murder? She wasn't killed by a stranger, her husband murdered her.

Not blaming the victim but why was HER background sanitized to make her appear more sympathetic?

Sorry to be blunt about it. I don't think that she deserved to lose her life over it but she was living a life that opened her up to a lot of shady characters all in the pursuit of a life of luxury.

I wish more people on reality shows would off themselves.

... just kidding of course, sort of.

Sure, and the local drunk/dorm ****/dancing chick at the bar open them all up to that as well....I don't get it. They all should be looked over, cops roll their eyes over them, etc.? I don't think so. I see what you're saying, but someone's background/career should not make people corner them into some sort of ending.

Gh. Just when you think there's a thread we can all agree on, somebody comes up with a spin that's guaranteed to send it into the terlet.

Bravo, my friend, bravo!

You know, let me backtrack a bit by saying that I am personally annoyed by the Jasmin Fiore story for different reasons.

The only reason that this story made the news nationally is because Jasmin Fiore has (had) blonde hair in her DMV photo and the media latched on to the bikini model angle. Then they sanitize Jasmin Fiore's background to make her more sympathetic to the viewing audience.

At the same time, another young and aspiring model, Ashley Nicole Lilly, was found murdered in a hotel (also in Orange County, CA) a few days after Jasmin Fiore. The only difference is that this girl is Black. And she only gets a short byline on the news and zero national coverage. There isn't any international manhunt being launched to search for this girl's murderer.

I guess this is in the politics section because you assume somebody will soon blame Obama?
