Here's a pretty messed up story for you to start your week off with. Brooke Shields was just going about her day on Thursday when the police called her. She wasn't in trouble, but they just wanted to let her know that her mother had been checked out of the nursing home she lives in by two people from the National Enquirer. Brooke's mother Teri has been diagnosed with dementia, which obviously led Brooke to think they were trying to get a tabloid story about her. Brooke is ripsh*t, and rightfully so.
My mother Teri Shields has been diagnosed with dementia. For her safety, she has temporarily been in a senior living facility, a very difficult decision for me. Late Thursday afternoon, I was alerted by Old Tappan Police that my mother had been signed out of the facility by two reporters of the National Enquirer … who falsely claimed they were friends of hers. They then drove my 75-year-old mother around looking for a tabloid story. As anyone knows who has a parent who suffers from dementia or Alzheimer's, it is one of the most difficult experiences you can go through as a son or daughter. The idea that the National Enquirer took advantage of her state is reprehensible and disgusting. I intend to take every lawful action against all who were involved or who authorized this despicable act.
The National Enquirer is defending themself, saying that the reporter that checked her mother out of the home was an old friend that had known Teri for over 10 years and wanted to just catch up over lunch. I don't really buy it for a second, though. You know who your mother's friends are -- I know who my mother is friends with and the peeps she works with...the Enquirer is lying out of its paper bumhole.
