My dearest fans,
I would like to officially announce that I am withdrawing my name from the 2010-2011 competitive season. My decision comes after months of weighing the pros and cons of competing this season, and I have decided that I need a year to explore and reinvent myself as an athlete and artist.
There are many projects that I’m currently working on and that I want to devote my time to, including my single, “Dirty Love,” my fashion line, “Be Unique,” and my quarter-century memoirs to be published with Gallery Books. I’m also working on the second season of my hit reality TV series, and of course skating in shows around the world and producing my own skating spectacular.
I want to thank so many people: My mom, Patti; my coaches, Galina Yakovlevna Zmievskaya, Viktor Vassilievich Petrenko, and Nina Leonidovna Petrenko; my choreographer, David Wilson; my agent, Tara Modlin, and Fireworks Sports Marketing; and my friends, family, and most of all my fans. I skated for my fans this season, and I was able to skate because of them. They gave me inspiration every day in practice and helped in so many ways to get me back to the Olympics for the second time. I am forever in your debt.
The main reason for my decision is to have more time to reinvent my skating. I want to create a new skating image for myself so that when I return to competitive skating, I can perform in a way that is both unique and inspiring. I say all of this in hopes that I will return as a competitor for the 2011-2012 season.
At twenty-six years old, I have been competing at the highest level of the sport since 2000. Training and competing have been my only way of life for the past thirteen years. While it has been a magical journey, I feel that a brief hiatus will be truly beneficial to my skating and my future.
Although I’m taking a break from competitive skating, I still hope to be on the ice as often as possible, training and performing for my many fans around the world. I have even selected music for my next competitive programs and am already dreaming up costumes.
While my eyes are currently focused on many different projects, my brain will never forget about the Sochi Olympics in 2014. It would be a dream for me to compete in an Olympic Games in Russia, and I think one thing my fans know about me is that I don’t give up on a dream easily.
Thank you to everyone who has supported me. I hope to be performing for you very soon. I believe this is the right step for me to make in my career at this time, and I am very proud of everything I have accomplished so far in my life as a figure skater.
Thank you.
- Johnny Weir
*surprise face*
ReplyDelete*gasp of SHOCK*
ReplyDeleteDo you really not see why referring to gay men by female titles is problematic?
ReplyDeleteYou do realize that gay men refer to one another as girl, she, her all the time. Johnny called himself girl when watching his olympic long program. There are a few ppl here who enjoy being offended by everything.
ReplyDeleteThe only person I'm rolling my eyes at is you, AJ.
ReplyDeleteBest of luck to Johnny for his future.
AJ, leaving the sarcasm aside, are you disappointed he's retired?
ReplyDeleteJohnny said it was his last yr all along. It is not a surprise. His time has passed.
ReplyDeleteBest of luck to Johnny for his future:
ReplyDelete*A failed second season of his reality show because nobody gives a damn about him because he stopped skating
*A horrendous fallout with Yenta Modlin over, well, everything (you KNOW this is coming)
*Several drunk driving arrests
*Being America's Favorite Flamboyant Judge/Guest Commentator on such classy shows as Rock Of Love and Tool Academy
*A couple of "triumphant returns" to skating in an attempt to revive his career, only to look incredibly sad and pathetic because he lacks the drive necessary to make a comeback ala Plushy (but hey, it's a paycheck, and he sorely needs to finance his own Balenciaga bags now that his Japanese fans have moved on)
*A stint on Celebrity Rehab 2013
*A hasbeen by 30
I just love people who post garbage anonymously.
ReplyDeleteGAy men may sometimes refer to each other as 'she' or 'her'; however I am not a gay man, and JOhnny Weir to me at least, is clearly male. Therefore I have not, and will not refer to him as 'she' or 'her' or 'Ms'. He is a he, he is a man, as in 'he', 'him' or 'Mr.'
ReplyDeleteAJ how long have you and anonymous@9:12 p.m.(LL) been exchanging ideas? You two deserve each other. I am heading to classier pastures with Tony Wheeler.
ReplyDeleteLara You need to stop. I'm not privy to what made you decide to take this course of action, but I think it's very juvenile and beneath a set of standards you used to uphold. I think you need to reevaluate your situation and try thinking before pressing the enter button. Please remember that not everyone can conform to the same guidelines nor do they go through the same experiences.
ReplyDeleteI also think it´s offensive to use "Ms." instead of "Mr." and clearly share "WheresmyKoppy"`s opinion.
ReplyDeleteIt hasn´t anything to do with the way gays call themselves.
Personally, I just find it disrespectful.
You should and can do better, Auntie Joyce.
Good luck to Johnny in his future endeavors.
ReplyDeleteShould he pursue a career in fashion, may he be more successful than Sasha Cohen and Amber Corwin.
Should he pursue a career in acting, may he be more successful than Tara Lipinski.
Should he produce skating "spectaculars," may he be more successful than Nancy Kerrigan.
Should he pursue a career in music, may he be more successful than Elvis Stojko.
Should he continue to skate as a professional, may he realize when to call it quits before becoming another Roz Sumners.
Damn. Are these snarky comments really called for?
ReplyDeleteWhatever one's opinion about Johnny, it cannot be denied that Johnny Weir has an amazingly successful figure skating career to look back on, and perhaps, if he chooses, to look forward to again in the future. I challenge every single person who posted a negative comment (including you AJ) to show what they've overcome, accomplished, persevered through that could remotely compare to what Johnny has done. There are only a handful of people walking this planet who have the right to judge Johnny because only a handful of people can rightly claim to have walked the path he walked so successfully. The rest of us can either admire, aspire, respect...or just keep quiet if you have nothing positive to say.
Respect is due people!
@ Anon 9:12 PM
ReplyDeleteIs that you Laura Linger? You're still crazy my poor girl! Oh dear!
You hardcore Johnny Weir fans are delusional. Seriously. I didn't believe it when someone sent me a FB message about these comments, but there it is.
ReplyDeleteI know it's hard for you to believe that there are people in the world who do not worship JW the way that you do, but they do exist, and they even leave comments on blogs.
Seriously. Get help. You have devoted your entire lives to a person who doesn't even know you. It's really sad to watch. To think, you have the cajones to call ME crazy.
As for me, I wish Johnny Weir nothing but the best of luck in the future. Sadly, I think he is going to need all that he can get.
ReplyDeleteAre the Johnny fans any worse then the Evan fans who still insist he never cheated his 3A or he's straight?
ReplyDeletelmao. Laura, there's no point in trying to pretend that you didn't make the anonymous comment at 9:12. It's painfully obvious due to the fact that you are horrible at covering your tracks online. What a shame. You're a 40-ish year old woman who is stalking figure skating blogs and making harsh (and butthurt) comments about a man whom you used to adore, but now can't stand. So seemingly you've devoted YOUR entire life to reading news about Johnny (a person who doesn't even know you) just to leave hateful comments. Now who's the real crazy person in this scenario? I'll let you think about that for a while. ;)
ReplyDeleteNope we are not worse "than" the Evan fans. He's made mistakes and he's not perfect, but he is genuinely a kind and generous person. You should try to meet him some day.
ReplyDelete"People demand freedom of speech to make up for the freedom of thought which they avoid."
ReplyDeleteSoren Aabye Kierkegaard
Johnny Weir has made mistakes and he's not perfect, but he is a kind, generous, intelligent and caring person. I would love to meet HIM some day.
ReplyDeleteI'm also certain he would never attack anyone anonymously.
Ppl, Laura Linger n everyone who seems to hate Johnny..Get a Life!!! If you don't like someone, you shouldn't be reading about him! As for me I have hope for Johnny and I wish him all the best :) He's a fighter and he does his best when he's down and everyone else doubts him :) He just might come back and surprise us all..he need this break to do whatever else he wants to do.
ReplyDeletePls don't comment if you have only bad things to say, n as for AJ...
Clearly the delusional Johnny fans who get their panties in a knot over people referring to Johnny as "girl", "Princess", or any other title have NEVER had gay friends. Christ on a cracker, ladies, get over yourselves. Johnny refers to himself as girl all the time - it doesn't mean he doesn't have a dick.
ReplyDeleteI am a hardcore Johnny stan (and I love Evan and Stephane as well), but the ladies from the facebook page are psychopaths. The problem is that they take everything sooo seriously regarding Johnny. It makes me want to #cutabitch.
Whoa... there a whole lotta crazy supporting Johnny, even though he's about as wishy washy as they get.
ReplyDeleteI, as a quasi-skating fan (AJ sort of makes me watch things I normally wouldn't), have to say that Johnny had the talent to keep training and competing. However, Johnny wasn't a skating sell out (element/expression-wise) like Evan was. AJ has always spoken well about that with Johnny. What AJ is rightfully criticizing is the slow downward slide of Johnny's post-Olympic life. When you put that much faith and energy into supporting an athlete, and then they become a media whore who's constantly making a fool out of himself, you feel betrayed as a fan. And, since so many of you don't seem to understand AJ yet, she is as fairweather as they get... except when it comes to MK.
You people that are offended by AJ or anyone else referring to Johnny as "her" need to just shut the fuck up. It's funny, it's not a dis, it's how gay men talk to each other. Since most of you diehards are women, I would assume you just don't get. So, if you don't get it, shut up.
"It's funny, it's not a dis, it's how gay men talk to each other. Since most of you diehards are women, I would assume you just don't get it. So, if you don't get it, shut up."
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS. The majority I've seen are not only women, but middle-aged women who do not understand the culture and are way too overprotective of a man who doesn't know them and probably doesn't care what they think.
"Laura Linger...I hope you die."
ReplyDeleteI've noticed, karma works in mysterious ways. It won't backfire on you, but rather someone you love / care about.
My sincere condolences, 11:23 anonymous.
And no, I'm not Laura.
@Anonymous 9:17 I agree that Karma works in mysterious ways. Likewise to you, girlfriend.. . I wish you many happy returns for the classy comments you made earlier @9:12;7-8-10.
ReplyDeleteI've been reading this blog on and off for a while now and often find the Johnny obsession amusing. I do get tempted to comment though when I hear comments begin to spread to him as a person or his personal life. I have an understanding of what is going on in his life right now and while I do not know Johnny... I repeat I do NOT know him, I do know one of his dingles quite well and we talk often about skating and Johnny.
ReplyDeleteI can understand the letdown some fans can feel when they've loved an artist or athlete for a long time only to see them go in a direction that isn't what they want or to end it altogether. It's a huge disappointment. I think some people though need to be cautious of how they project that inner disappointment outward, especially when they are saying things that are hurtful and completely untrue. To hear Johnny described as a person whos life is on a downward slide, or someone who is making a fool out of himself and making terrible choices is so far off base that it's actually funny. Johnny was in a real emotionally dark place after the Olympics and needed something to change in his life. He is now as I hear it probably the happiest he's ever been.He's recently much more re-energized about skating and is apparently at his rink constantly. He's kept himself in great shape and other than the entertainment industry contacts he's made he really hangs out with a small, tight-knit group of friends he's had for years and years. These are some of the most stable, wonderful people you could ever know and they adore Johnny.
cont. from previous:
ReplyDeleteJohnny doesn't hang out with Hollywood types often and really doesn't hit up the clubs partying or drinking. I can't believe someone actually had the nerve to say he's going to rack up the DUIs. What a horrible thing to say. On down time he can most often be found at home cleaning, watching movies or listening to music with friends, or indulging in his crazy mario kart obsession.
Johnny's relationship with Galina is better than ever as it is with his family. He's healthy and has a new special someone in his life that is making him apparently giddy. The change in him over the last couple of months is from what I hear all for the better. He's had fun with new opportunities but has maintained he wants skating to be a big priority to him in some capacity. To say he's making a fool out of himself would be to say he has always done that. Perhaps then he's just not your cup of tea because I don't see how wearing a few wacky outfits is something he needs to feel shame for. He's always been this way and perhaps it's just the fact that now he's gaining more attention for his personality that is making some people feel resentful. Perhaps he has so long belonged to the skating community that it sort of feels like a betrayal. I don't know. What I do know is that I can't understand what it is that people feel he's done so wrong? He's attended some red carpets and recorded a song because he was invited to do so. He's had fun with these things and understands full well they aren't serious career choices. He doesn't want them to be. We can't hold him to the fact that he hasn't selected a new solid path because really, that takes time. He's enjoying his life and keeping his options open. I hate hearing people constantly calling him a mediawhore because really all he's doing is accepting invitations, and granting interviews with people who are always wanting to talk to him.
You can say what you want to about his skating accomplishments or what he's failed to accomplish. You can express disappointment in him not competing anymore or what never was. Please, to those who insist on painting him as some tragic, out of control figure who is headed on a downward slope, please consider what you are saying because nothing could be further from the truth. There are many of us who know something of Johnny's life and know that he's probably happier and healthier (physically and emotionally) now than he's been in quite some time.

Sorry sorry for double post above. Obviously my computer sucks.
ReplyDelete@Anonymous10:19;7-10-10 Thank You!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to know he has a new someone in his life. He needs some happiness after Vancouver. Could the "someone" be that guy in all his birthday pics in the grey shirt? They seemed very cozy. :D
ReplyDeletePlease don't judge all Johnny fans by the crazies on his facebook page. Those are mainly people who discovered him at the Olympics and not the ones who have been with him since 2004 or earlier. I've found the ones who have been following Johnny through thick and thin are much saner then the newbies.
ReplyDelete@anonymous 10:17..Thank you for speaking out so eloquently and sincere. IMO, you hit the nail on the head. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteYeah, but the problem with the people who discovered him at Vancouver is that they are the most vocal, too. I've loved him since his first Nationals win, and the newbs drive me crazy. They are a really bad representation of skating fans. And frankly, all that glitter and kitten crap is a bit scary. One of them is going to end up in jail when they try to kidnap Johnny and hold him hostage/try to make him straight. Keep dreaming, crazies.
ReplyDeleteI think not all fans over at FB are that crazy and not all do participate in the glitter and kitten part. There are quite some reasonable voices there also who are long time fans of Johnny and have been through thick and thin with him.
ReplyDeleteYou, anonymous 10.59, generalize a lot.You can´t tar them all with the same brush. That´s too easy.
Thank you for your insightful comments "Anon. July 10, 2010 10:15 AM" and "Anon. July 8, 2010 11:55 PM". It's refreshing to hear a voice of reason concerning Johnny.
ReplyDeleteThanks AJ for posting Johnny's letter!
I have been a fan of Johnny Weir since 2002, and while I agree some of his 'Newbies' fans will drive you crazy, I also think some of them are very good fans, and very loyal for all the right reasons. I think it's unfair to critique all 'newby fans' as 'crazy' and a 'bad representation'.
ReplyDeleteBTW,if JW has someone new in his life, TERRIFIC! It's about time he had a personal life! Go Johnny Go!
I apologize if I characterized all of Johnny's FB fans as crazies. Personally I think I will barf if I read one more post about Johnny's nipples and I cannot even go on the FB page anymore without feeling sick. SO happy to hear that Johnny has moved on from Drew and found someone new. Hope Paris finds someone too!
ReplyDeleteWe definitely need to figure out who this grey-shirt fellow is. :) I am glad, however, that Johnny and Drew are still able to be friends.
ReplyDeleteGrey shirt guy's name is Robert and he is the new special one.
ReplyDeleteJFC, the overinvested Johnny fans never fail to make me cringe.
ReplyDeleteLOVE LOVE LOVE Batshit Crazy FS Trolls (and Trolls in general) who feel they have a say or that their words online have an effect on a public person's life. They make me feel like a better person.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous posters, to me, mean almost as much as "unnamed sources". Unless you're disseminating classified material, something that could put your life in jeopardy... grow some balls. Otherwise, go back to the online forums with all the people smoking Yu-Na Crack (and arguing about how Mao wuz robbed and such) and all the youtube posters who have nothing better to do than argue on videos. I don't need you bitches ruining what are enjoyable snarky posts.
(FYI, I've been a Johnny Fan since 03 Nats SP. Yes, I've been disappointed about some of the results over the years... but I've always enjoyed the skating. You Go Girl.)
@Anon 10:15 AM
ReplyDelete"I repeat I do NOT know him, I do know one of his dingles quite well and we talk often about skating and Johnny."
I doubt one of his closest friends (Dingles) would talk about his personal/love life to someone not close to Johnny, knowing how discreet he is about it.
All you said looked like bits and pieces taken from BGWJ, interviews, birthday photographs, FB's speculations, tweets and the "lover" on his twitter account.
Sounds like Anonymous at 5:28 is one of those ladies from facebook. You know the ones; in denial about him and hoping desperately for some attention from The Sparkly One.
ReplyDeleteI for one am happy for Johnny and Robert - he looked like he was in the best mood at his party, and he deserves it after this year.
Dave (AJ's real name for those who don't know) girl hope you're proud of your post. I'm sure you knew there would be a "wank" fest and I'm sure you'll relish in it when reading the comments. How proud your parents must be!
ReplyDelete@ Anon 5:36 PM
ReplyDelete"one of those ladies from facebook"
Nope, I'm not. Too many cray-crays and too much nonsense.
"hoping desperately for some attention"
You're a funny person. Do you really think that JW reads AJ's blog? You're delusional.
"I for one am happy for Johnny and R."
You could at least respect his private life. He has a right to privacy. Trashy of you to reveal it, just saying.
ILU Anon at 6:08. Too many cray-crays here and elsewhere speculating on Johnny's personal life. Leave the boy and his possible boyfriend (I'm taking that Anon who says s/he knows a Dingle with a HUGE grain of salt) alone. He'll share what he wants to share, when he wants to share it.
ReplyDeleteWow. These comments are just.
ReplyDeleteYou know, AJ, Johnny Weir got me into figure skating six years ago; he is my favorite skater and I love reading about him, but maybe it would be best if you just didn't post about him anymore. Obviously anything related to Johnny Weir just inspires wank. Cheers.
Can someone post a link to the photo of Johnny and the grey shirt guy? Looking at the photos online the only grey shirt guy I see is Johnny's friend Paris.
ReplyDeleteThe grey shirt guy is the one holding him up while he's toasting. He's in a lot of the pictures.
ReplyDelete@ the second Anon 7:10, Johnny inspires wank but he also leads to more hits for the site. AJ knows what he's doing.
ReplyDeleteDon't tell AJ what to post on his blog. If you have an issue, write your own blog. Good Luck being 1/10th as successful. You won't be. AJ covers all skaters and isn't a stan of anyone.
ReplyDeleteAJ isn't fair weather. AJ tells it like it is.
Can't handle snarky comments? And you read this blog? in the wrong place! Kindly STFU peaches.
@Anon 10:15 AM "I repeat I do NOT know him, I do know one of his dingles quite well and we talk often about skating and Johnny."

ReplyDeleteThank you for that very good and logical point and good, keen observation.
To anonymous 10:16 and 10:17; So, you know one of Johnny's "dingles"? Know what I think? I think you are THE dingle posting as the friend of this "dingle". That's what I think. I think when you post about this "special someone" in Johnny's life, you are posting as though you are this "dingles" friend when in fact you ARE the dingle being discussed. And you are implying that this "dingle" is that "special someone". And to think you almost wrote a book about it without royalty or an advance. Such sweet special things should never be for sale at any price. And the "lover" on Johnny's Twitter has nothing to do with a "relationship"; much less YOU, anonymous 10:16 and 10:17.
This also applies to you, anonymous 10:16-17: I know at least two or three of Johnny's "dingles" quite well, and except for this posting, I never mentioned it before. Nor will I after this. I respect and love Johnny and his privacy far too much to use it and waste it as public relations fodder. I was at his Birthday party. I saw and heard everything. And although I know of at least one, two, even three or more dingles who would like to fancy themselves as something more than just a good friend, I doubt it seriously. I could name names but eventually these "dingles" who want and inwardly desire to be more than what they truly are will trip up and probably totally destroy what friendship they do have with Johnny. So, let it rain.
Also to anonymous 10:16-17: Johnny's "dingles" are good friends and nothing more; regardless of what they or their friends think. Johnny doesn't appreciate his love-life being advertised by anyone for any reason. He certainly will not appreciate it or tolerate it from you or your friends. I'm sure Johnny has read these posts; including yours. I'm pretty sure he knows or can tell just who you are. The fact that you are in a way promoting this "relationship" to your own selfish advantage is sickening, immature, disgusting and low. And it shows a great deal of fear on your part; fear of losing something you know you don't really have and probably never really had. Otherwise, why advertise? Where there is fear, there is no love. Or shall I say there is a lack of true, real love. Where love is absent, there can be only doubt and confusion. Therefore, you nor your "dingle friend" (you ARE one and the same to me) REALLY know or love Johnny.
ReplyDeleteTake heart, not all that you posted is wrong. His IS enjoying HIS life on his own terms; always has and always will even with Galina onboard. He IS keeping his many, many options wide open. This includes but is not limited to his very personal and private matters with regards to relationships. And as to your comment about how Johnny doesn't go for "Hollywood types"; Lady Gaga, aka Stefani G., also happens to be one of his many, many very good girlfriends. They've even gone out together. And she is not the only "Hollywood type" Johnny has seriously dated. Kelly Osbourne is another, and I think she is recently free to date others. I could continue. And Johnny did meet someone about two months ago at a gathering in NYC; a professional who is quiet, unassuming, can usually be found in the background and does not seek the photographic limelight, as others do and already have done, with Johnny (like some did at his party). You may have noticed how he got all excited and a flutter when this person mentioned that they were relocating. I'd be glowing and deliriously happy, too, if that were happening to me. So, his fans and all the dingles need to be good friends and happy for Johnny and supportive. Oh, keep in mind that it may not be who any of you readily think it is.
Out of deep respect and love for Johnny and his family, I will remain silent beyond this point. Thank you for your time and consideration.

I have had several gay male friends, and frankly I've never heard any of them call each other 'girl'. Not to say that some don't, but I haven't see it personally. I don't care for JOhnny being called 'she' or 'her', and I WILL continue to say so if I feel like it.
ReplyDeleteAnd I am tired of Johnny's Facebook fans being insulted. There are over 39,000 of us, we are ladies young and old, we are straight, we are gay, we are males young and old, and we are not all the crazy people most of the haters here (many of them anonymously) are trying to portray us as.
And one more thing, no 'dingle' of JOhnny's is going to publicly talk about his love life, and I seriously doubt they would talk about his love life privately to anyone they did not completely trust. If they did so and this person then turned around and talked about it in a public forum they have completely broken that trust and that is really pretty sad.
And Johnny's life is NOT on a downward spiral since the Olympics. That drum has been beaten enough, get over yourselves already and get a life!
@anon 10:51 and 10:52:
ReplyDeleteGiven the fact that certain things anon 10:17 has mentioned are untrue, you are quite busy to pick this post into pieces with an even lengthier post and even more tidbits from Mr. Weirs private life.
I can´t help thinking I´ve read a different post than you since anon 10:17 only mentioned a new special one in Johnny`s life in one little sentence, almost as an afterthought.
To be clear: I am a FB-fan of Johnny´s...you know one of these middle-aged women and we are not stupid because of that.
I don´t take part in some of the craziness over there.
But I am definitely loyal to Johnny and I want him happy and healthy. I especially wish for him to test out what life holds for him and what it could be in the future. In this case, I agree with anon 10:17 whoever the person is who wrote:"We can't hold him to the fact that he hasn't selected a new solid path because really, that takes time."
Thank you for reading and for your consideration.
"If they did so and this person then turned around and talked about it in a public forum they have completely broken that trust and that is really pretty sad."
ReplyDeleteDevil's Advocate: You say he is not on this spiral and I want to believe. If he is not, then he should soldier on and compete. I would hate to think that just as he is gaining momentum on so many levels he is throwing this away on a sexual whim. That is a horrible price to pay just so he can sleep with someone and have sex. Johnny has come so far. If this special someone is "special" then they should prove it by supporting Johnny through the fire or not at all. Life IS pain. Sacrifice equals LOVE and becomes the only thing that will save you from that pain. I pity the fool who doesn't GET it.
If this so-called "special person" isn't willing to fully support Johnny and WAIT to have sex with Johnny until after Paris, France; then Johnny needs to have the guts to say, "Know what? F-You. If you really, really loved me then you would fully support me and my skating career, and wait until after my final competition. You would support me in this regardless of the pain and even if your guts come up into your mouth; you will wait IF you really love me! If not, move on. I can do better." It would truly be the other persons' loss. Afterall, who in their right minds wouldn't want to have sex with Johnny in Paris, France?!? Yes, I would gladly make any sacrifice for that. It would be worth my wait.
You are right. It is very sad. That trust has already been completely broken now with the postings from anonymous 10:16-17. Anonymous 10:16-17 IS one of Johnny's "dingles", and I think I know who it is. Johnny's dingles have leaked THEIR VERSION out first hoping to gain something; I don't know what. But it is never wise to discuss your love-life with anyone; not even a trusted friend. Everyone talks about people not "getting it". I think what I just posted sums it up, nicely.
Lol, there are too many people close to Johnny in this post, who don't want to disturb his privacy and yet writing huge comments doing exactly that.
ReplyDelete@anon 2:03 AM: LOL. My thoughts exactly.
ReplyDeleteTo Anonymous 1:09; I've re-read my postings and cannot find anything that you describe nor do I know what you are posting about. My post only seems lengthier because the last post is a duplicate by accident. Reading it on a more critical level, that should be obvious. Truthfully, Anonymous 10:16-17 did mention a "special someone" once, but kept referring to that someone over and over again. The further implications and references are purposefully quite numerous. One is direct while the others are indirect, but they both make the same point of reference. And anon kept praising the dingles as the only ones who are "stable" around Johnny and that simply is not so; they are NOT the only ones. So, the "dingle" who posted this knew exactly what they were doing. That post is a deliberate post and was done without Johnny's knowledge or blessing. I am not a Facebook fan, but I do know of the person he met two months ago (mentioned by Anon 10:16-17), and I understand completely what's going on from all sides. Also, I noticed how you focused on only a couple of my remarks, and not the rest: such as the final, "Take heart". I never said you were stupid. I would now appreciate the same respect. Thank you.

Anon(s) @ 10:51/52/54pm and 1:51am: What the hell are you smoking?
ReplyDeleteA dingle is trying to insinuate that they are Johnny's "special someone"? Johnny has "seriously dated" Lady Gaga and Kelly Osbourne? Johnny is not competing because his (rumored) "special someone" is a jerk who made him choose between skating and sex? What is this, fanfiction?
The only thing I can possibly conclude from reading your posts is that you have some serious jealousy issues with said dingles.
@anon 2:37, 10:51; 10:52:
ReplyDeleteOut of deep respect and love for Johnny and his family, I will remain silent beyond this point.
Why don´t you remain silent then?
Oh, and thanks for confirming what I believe to have seen...from afar, so to speak.
Yours,truly.
To Anonymous 2:45 am: I don't smoke.
ReplyDeleteThe post made by Anonymous 10:16-17 is very clear and points to one of Johnny's dingles so there is no insinuation from either side. They think very highly of themselves. I wasn't the only one who spotted that at the party. Yes, Johnny has been with "Hollywood types" like the two ladies mentioned. You sound very jealous of that fact for one not so jealous. So, the only thing you just concluded with yours is that what I posted must be true; especially if you care to post a response at THIS hour. And to an what? A BLOG.
I would say that said dingles and you possess some very serious jealousy issues of your own with which to deal; the dingles and you possess some VERY serious and potentially very deadly jealousy issues towards me, the rest of Johnny's very close circle of friends and the professional. Maybe the dingles and you need to face the fact that your group is not as tight as it once was and that Johnny's circle of close friends has expanded and is ever-changing and growing. That can only be a good thing for Johnny.
You can know a friend for years and still not know them in the here and now because people, like seasons, have a way of changing. I am sorry if you are having an issue with that. There are people and medications that can help you. I hope you and the dingles who feel betrayed as you do will seek and find help and very soon before your jealousy turns to rage and causes injury to yourself and others. Apparently, I touched a nerve, but I didn't mean to. I am sorry. Peace be with you.
Anon @ 3:50am:
ReplyDeleteFYI, I literally live on the other side of the world. "This hour" for me is a very reasonable time. This fact also negates your insinuation that I have anything whatsoever to do with Johnny's circle of friends. Thanks for the laugh though. :)

*laughs hysterically*
ReplyDeletePeace be with you.
You know, I'm not even a FB-fan of Johnny, but hell, do people really believe someone who says "but I do know of the person he met two months ago...and I understand completely what's going on from all sides."?
ReplyDeleteI mean, to know what's going on all sides and completely understand situation you need to be Johnny or his boyfriend.
I'm actually quite tired of all this discussion about Johnny's love life based on several pictures, twitter status and "reliable sources" with information very similar to fangirl speculation.
If we are going there, based on pictures and videos he and Lambiel will adopt a child together soon.
Unless Evan will suddenly realise that he is gay and has been in love with Johnny since they hooked up in 2005.
Until something real will come up, I'm sticking to Gaga being Johnny's secret girlfriend. Or Kelly O. Or, you know, Tara Modlin. Because it would explain so much.
Anon @ 3:50am
ReplyDeleteI want to ask what does "professional" mean? He is professional at what, being boyfriend? I'm not mocking, I really don't quite understand.
Anon 2:49am:
ReplyDeleteI am only responding to your posts. Sorry if that so easily offends you. And thank you for confirming something I've always known to be true deep down inside. What do you call a friend who refuses to let you live your life according to your own, individual definition of what happiness truly is to you? What do you call someone who calls themself your friend but then they refuse to let you follow your own path to happiness and they simply will not support you unless they have their way in your life? What do you call a friend who manipulates you at your weakest point, mentally and emotionally, to make you turn from your true path? Your true calling? I call them not a friend.
Thanks, but I doubt that you or I have exchanged anything from afar or in person because you and I are not on the same path; and from the sound of your post(s) that's a great weight off my mind.
The amount of deadly and insane jealousy towards me and what I originally posted truly astounds.
@ anon 4:16: Seems I hit a nerve...*smiles at you really sweetly, still not offended*
ReplyDeleteBTW, I agree with your "definition" of a friend.
"A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart, and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words."
I hope Mr. Weir has friends in his life who "sing" back to him.
"deadly and insane jealousy"
ReplyDeleteit should be a tag somewhere))
Anon 4:11 *laughs* No. I am not a fangirl or anything of the sort. Guess again.
ReplyDelete@ anon 4:31:
ReplyDeleteYes, it should. Its ridiculous.

ReplyDelete@anon 4:16: Seems I hit a nerve...*smiles at you really sweetly, still not offended* BTW, I agree with your "definition" of a friend."
Hitting a nerve was just an observation on my part. On definition: Thank you. I meant well.
"A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart, and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words."
Lovely, poetic thought:
And what if Mr. Weir's friend who claims to know the tune in his heart just because they happen to live closer to Mr. Weir at that moment in time, isn't the one truly meant to sing the song back to him? And what is Mr. Weir suppose to do when there are all these fans and important friends and his oh-so-close-and-stable-we-have-been-here-with-Johnny-forever-and-you-have-not "dingles' gather around him; singing all kinds of songs at the top of their lungs, making all kinds of racket and singing so off key that Mr. Weir is unable to hear THE ONE SONG he is suppose to hear? The one song he was meant to hear? The one that no one else around him can possibly sing? But they rejoice in making so much noise as to prevent Mr. Weir from ever hearing that song? How can Mr. Weir possibly hear a lark or a nightingale sing the beautiful song that is meant for him to hear when those immediately around him sound more like shreiking blue-jays or rapping woodpeckers? And when/where is this lovely lark or nightingale suppose to have their possibly once in a lifetime opportunity? Will Mr. Weir ever really hear the song of a true friend sung back to him if everyone else and his well-meaning friends are around him, preventing it.
"I hope Mr. Weir has friends in his life who "sing" back to him."
So do I; for his sake. And only for his sake.
@anon 5:20:
ReplyDeleteSounds like Johnny Weir, the externally controlled (maybe former) figure skater...poor boy.
""I hope Mr. Weir has friends in his life who "sing" back to him."
So do I; for his sake. And only for his sake. "
Then we are on the same page.
One more little thought: Say this lark or nightingale doesn't really desire fame or fortune or the spotlight, and all they want to do is sing their song back to Johnny? What if the lark or nightingale is willing to risk going through hell, pain, death just to sing one part of one song back to him?
ReplyDeleteI've met some of Johnny's friends and I doubt that their hearts are singing the exact same tune or that the tune is being sung in the same key.
OMG... I take it back! I take it back!
ReplyDeleteVery bad when quotes bite you in the rear end.
What have I done....*runs away screaming*
@ anons who claim to be Johnny's Friends/friends of friends/dingles/ whatever
ReplyDeleteI think (and hope) you're both fans with psychological problems. Hysteria and delusion towards Johnny are reaching a so scary level it's not even funny anymore.
If you actually knew him I'd feel very sorry for him.
Writing personal things about him in a place that almost every figure skating fan read is a disgusting thing to do.
Anon 5:20: "Externally controlled"
ReplyDeleteAt this point in his life, he looks and sounds like he is under some form of external control, as you put it. We all are to some degree; some more than others. I think you may have missed the point. You cannot possibly tell me that Johnny's friends the dingles, family and Tara do not influence him or his thoughts and behaviors in some way; regardless of setting. That's what I meant by all the chatter, input, influence and so on going on all around him.
Wow, I mean, wow. Thereare some crazys on both sides of this fence. This doesn't diminsih the fandom of anyone who loves Johnny as a skater, media personality, or hopefully, as a friend. I have followed his rise through the figure skation ranks since the mid 2000's, and also follow him now. I have only been lucky enough to see him skate live once, and it is how I choose to follow him. I am a strong skating fan, and have always been. Mainly I respect Johnny for his outspoken advocacy of rights for MANY people, children, the underprivelaged and victims of bigotry. I think he will always be a positive influence no matter what he choses to pursue in life.
ReplyDeleteAs any elite athlete, there is little chance that their star will shine for ever. Whether his time has come and gone, don't wish that he will sink into obscurity or become a media statistic. How presumptuous of you.
I will follow his skating career as I have many others til he choses to retire. It's all I can hope for that he, like many others who have been at the top of the elite stage, will be remembered for his sublime skating as well as his humanitarian efforts.
Lets all try to get along and respect each others opinions and viewpoints. I don't know "mr." Weir personally and would never want to, but I would like to believe that he wouldn't want to be the center of snarkiness and bitchiness.
In my humble opinion.
@anon 6:18 AM:
ReplyDelete"You cannot possibly tell me that Johnny's friends the dingles, family and Tara do not influence him or his thoughts and behaviors in some way"
Tell me one person who is not being influenced one way or other? Despite of that, most people make decisions all on their own,even if there are influences all over the place, and they piss off so-called friends or fans or whomever but gain respect with different so-called friends and fans or whomever.
I see, you really worry about Mr.Weir from whatever point of view that is. I accept and respect that.
"I challenge every single person who posted a negative comment (including you AJ) to show what they've overcome, accomplished, persevered through that could remotely compare to what Johnny has done. There are only a handful of people walking this planet who have the right to judge Johnny because only a handful of people can rightly claim to have walked the path he walked so successfully."
ReplyDeleteI'm a stage 3 cancer survivor. Does that count? Also, among other things, my friend survived pre-cancer and she deals with asthma (naturally, without medication) everyday of her life.
Oh, for the love of god, there's no way in hell Johnny dated Lady Gaga or Kelly Osbourne (who's engaged, you r-tard.) What are you smoking?!
ReplyDelete"Johnny doesn't hang out with Hollywood types often and really doesn't hit up the clubs partying or drinking" He did so very recently befoer and after his birthday with Chris, Ritchie, and Malen. Johnny has had more than his share of champagne, vodka and cocktails in his lifetime. He also partied up a storm in Japan, recently.
ReplyDelete"He's recorded a song because he was invited to do so. He's had fun with these things and understands they aren't serious career choices. He doesn't want them to be." How do you know what he wants? If he doesn't want this then dabbling with a music career is a severe insult and major slap in the face to those who have endured and are still struggling for their big break.
"We can't hold him to the fact that he hasn't selected a new solid path because really, that takes time." And what happens when Johnny runs out of time and the opportunity for true greatness passes him by altogether because he was too busy playing with his friends, the dingleberries? The cling-ons? The "I want to bask in your limelight with you"s, The I-know-better-what-you-should-do-with-your-life-because-I'm-your-one-and-only-bestest-friend, and I would never lie to you? But I have no problem grabbing your cell phone, Johnny, and tweeting a message for you on your Twitter as though I'm your g/f and at the same time, just to be safe, I'll pretend to you and others like I don't know how to tweet. But I know how to work a cell phone and text, so.
"There are many of us who know something of Johnny's life and know that he's probably happier and healthier (physically and emotionally) now than he's been in quite some time." Really? Ok, sure if your name is Patti, John, Brian, or his Aunt Diane. But those are about the only names that come to mind. Following this handfull, would be other members of his immediate family ONLY. Not any of the dingles.
"Oh, for the love of god, there's no way in hell Johnny dated Lady Gaga or Kelly Osbourne (who's engaged, you r-tard.) What are you smoking?!"
ReplyDeleteI love how you didn't capitalize "God" but used His name to help argue your point. Johnny has known Gaga (Stefani) for over two years now and they have gone out together. Johnny has gone out with Kelly; who recently went to a shin-dig over in London SANS b/f. And she did party it up with friends at a festival. Again SANS b/f. So before you call anyone a "r-tard", check it.
"Johnny refers to himself as girl all the time - it doesn't mean he doesn't have a dick." And you know this by what process, again?
ReplyDelete"It makes me want to #cutabitch." Maxo, put an ice cube on it, please. Put the firepoker down. Don't embarrass yourself. Is cutting a bitch the only way you know to get your point across?
"It's funny, it's not a dis, it's how gay men talk to each other." Uh, wrong. Wrong. NO, it is NOT! They may call each other "bitch" from time to time, but never "girl". Real gay men will bitch-slap you back to reality when called a "girl". So drop the bs. Johnny is not gay. It's a pretense used by some of the dingles on behalf of one of their own so that other ladies/women will not want to date/sleep with/or have sex (dirty love?) with Johnny.
"So drop the bs. Johnny is not gay. It's a pretense used by some of the dingles on behalf of one of their own so that other ladies/women will not want to date/sleep with/or have sex (dirty love?) with Johnny."
ReplyDeleteomg are you kidding, right???? plz tell me you're kidding.
"Grey shirt guy's name is Robert and he is the new special one. July 10, 2010 3:03 PM"
ReplyDeleteNo, he is not. He did meet Johnny at the party. I think that Robert is actually Nicole's B/F. He's in the photograph next to her, to your right. But Robert is not the one Johnny met two months ago at an event in NYC. He is not the one relocating. There was a Robert who was an assistant to Tara that night but I doubt he is the Robert your talking about.
"So drop the bs. Johnny is not gay. It's a pretense used by some of the dingles on behalf of one of their own so that other ladies/women will not want to date/sleep with/or have sex (dirty love?) with Johnny." omg are you kidding, right???? plz tell me you're kidding.
ReplyDeleteYour nervousness says it's true.
"Johnny is not gay. It's a pretense used by some of the dingles on behalf of one of their own so that other ladies/women will not want to date/sleep with/or have sex (dirty love?) with Johnny."
ReplyDeleteFine. I'll bite. What about his three year relationship with Drew Meekins? Also, have you seen the finale of BGJW? He definitely referred to gay people as "we" during a conversation with Tara. It was blatant.
I've been thinking. I entered the picture with Johnny skating and as a professional skater. Maybe his bowing out of skating is his way of telling me that he no longers needs my love and support. I feel like I'm no longer needed or required. All I wanted was a little love in return but I guess this is his way of saying I'm not worth it. Besides, he's so super happy and healthy with Robert or Nicole or whatever the fuck their names are so tonight I'm giving everybody what they've always wanted: I'm getting completely stoned out of my mind and then
ReplyDeleteI am killing myself.
I knew you never really cared, Johnny. I knew it was all a lie.
Good-bye, Johnny. I will always love you.
Fine. I'll bite. What about his three year relationship with Drew Meekins? Also, have you seen the finale of BGJW? He definitely referred to gay people as "we" during a conversation with Tara. It was blatant."
ReplyDeleteThe issue with Drew could have been created for public relations for all you know. To sell tickets, pop corn, cola, step right up! We've got your hot, roasted peanuts, here! God, don't you people know a soft-sale when you see one. You are so easily lead and mislead. Oh how I love how the GLBT community people HANG on to e-v-e-r-y l-i-t-t-l-e s-y-l-l-a-b-l-e that pours out of Johnny's mouth. IT'S SICKENING. This is beyond ridiculous now. It was rehearsed like all shows are to a degree. Yes, even reality shows ARE REHEARSED. Dear God.
And to think we are discussing this very minor, stupid thing when I just read above me about a suicide???
"Johnny has had more than his share of champagne, vodka and cocktails in his lifetime. He also partied up a storm in Japan, recently."
ReplyDeleteThank God he also partied up a storm. Why shouldn´t he? He´s young. My own girl does that regularly and I don´t have any say in that.
Do you actually expect him to lead the life of a saint to fit in the shelf you want him to be? Imagine he wouldn´t do anything of what you hold him accountable for, in every thinkable way...professional and private.
We would not have this discussion. That would be truly horrible...*cues in very sad music*
"If he doesn't want this then dabbling with a music career is a severe insult and major slap in the face to those who have endured and are still struggling for their big break. "
Ah, jealousy and envy. Now he is also responsible for the failing of all artists who don´t get a chance. You imply, he better should take a step back b/c he doesn´t deserve it.
Don´t you think it´s a bit too big a responsibility you place on his shoulders?
As far as I know, he got called by RevoLucian. It wasn´t his own idea since he very well knows that he isn´t a singer. But well...bitch that he is, he steals any chances of any artist who has endured and is still struggling for his/her big break.
"And what happens when Johnny runs out of time and the opportunity for true greatness passes him..."
And what is when he runs out of time and the opportunity for true greatness passes him just because he doesn´t even try. And I doubt the dingleberries as you put them are holding him back.
He only can find out when he tries different ways. He will fail and he will succeed but he never will have to say "I did not even try" twenty years from now.
Again, we don´t need to worry about Johnny (although it is hard to take that step back needed to gain objectivity). He does that all on his own.
"Really? Ok, sure if your name is Patti, John, Brian, or his Aunt Diane. But those are about the only names that come to mind."
You walk a very thin line here.And you do a disservice to Johnny. I´m sure he has "this very tight knit, small circle of friends" who truly care for him as person whoever they are.
It´s not my business although I would like to know.
Again, thanks for reading and for your time.

@anon 10:34 AM: I think I get your intent. Thanks for the laugh.
ReplyDeleteNow, I try to take a step back. No promises.
German? You are the one walking a thin line. Those postings of mine were meant for Anonymous 10:16-17. She was the one explaining how Johnny doesn't drink or party, and I was the one who corrected her by stating yes, he does drink and party and often.
ReplyDeleteAnd all the rest you totally didn't get and probably never will. I can tell you speak a foreign language so I won't even try. However, I do call them the dingleberries because that's what they are. They are the ones who go out all the time mostly on Johnny's dime and party at his expense. So, my question is, where do you suppose these lovely friends and besties will be when Johnny's money runs out, hmmm? Do you really think that Chris Benz would care about Johnny if Johnny were a nobody with no PR visual attached to him or if Johnny didn't have that Olympic camera glued to his face? Do you really think Ritchie Rich of Nicole would care about Johnny if Johnny were poor and not buying the drinks? Do you think either of them would care if Johnny decided he wasn't going into fashion. No, they would drop Johnny like yesterdays bad habit. I even have my doubts about Paris. Paris DID leave Johnny in a lurch and holding the bag, didn't he?
I'm amazed at how soon and easily people forget.
German? I don't believe you. Thanks for the laugh? How hateful. Someone just posted that note. Do you know how to trace them? Stop them?
ReplyDeleteGerman, are you always this sick and hateful? Are is this some special occasion?
Now you're making my teeth come out, German. And I've got claws to match. I doubt seriously that Johnny shares your brand of sentiment when it comes to suicides.
ReplyDeleteLe sigh!
ReplyDeleteGerman, you have no heart and no soul. Heaven help you because I sure as hell won't. You are not a fan of Johnny's.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, AJ. Another successful shit-stirring post! I'll give you your prize in person.
ReplyDeleteI tried Joyce I tried but I started rolling my eyes in the second paragraph becuase "quarter century memoirs?!" Hah!!
ReplyDeleteAnd whichever annonitwat said that Johnny and Yenta are cruising for a falling out, I suspect you are correct.
I hope these comments never end, I'm crying with laughter at this.

ReplyDeleteThe issue with Drew could have been created for public relations for all you know. To sell tickets, pop corn, cola, step right up! We've got your hot, roasted peanuts, here! God, don't you people know a soft-sale when you see one.
ReplyDeleteThis makes no sense whatsoever considering that Johnny and Drew's relationship was a secret to all casual figure skating fans and only a few insiders knew about it. Everyone else found out when another message board posted the name of the Boston skater who Johnny was dating. And Johnny did take the break up very hard as anyone gay or straight would when a three year relationship, who happened to be your first, is over.
Thank you, Anon @ 1:30. To call such a long-term relationship one created for "public relations" when practically NO ONE knew about it is just laughable. Johnny was devastated when they broke up.
ReplyDeleteIf it was a relationship created for media, then the media would have known something about it. Just saying. Don't try to cheapen Johnny's first relationship, please.
Help me! I think I have Sasha Cohen growing out of my back!
ReplyDelete@anon 1:50 Haha...can I help you. You need to be saved.
ReplyDeleteI would just like to say that if this is the level of some assinine fans here then it's no wonder his skating career is over before it has a chance to really take off. And I can't help but get the feeling that this is all being done behind Johnny's back so that Jeremy Abbott can sail ahead with his lofty skating dreams with great ease. And all because Johnny's "in love"? I think Johnny's current "love interest" was created by team tara/nicole/rob/dingles and put in place on purpose at his party to help create a distraction in Johnny's life so that everything with skating would crumble and fall into Jeremy's lap. Who stands to benefit most at this time from Johnny's w/d?
ReplyDeleteAlso I have noticed a connection between some posts and such. Nicole is also "reet" and "weirsjohnny" and she is rumored to be the daughter of Tara's sister who was also taking pics at Johnny's party (chubs redhead in green with Tara). If "Nicole" aka "reet" and "weirsjohnny" among god only knows what other demonic names she uses (and I love how she pretends to be so stupid and illiterate when it comes to computers but really she knos whats she's doin fo sho), and BBs violet-crumble, becca, Karin, Alice (all who frequent livejournal and other blogs like they don't have anything better), stand with Paris as members of Johnny's very old "close-knit circle of friends" and I use that term very slightly cuz Johnny can do sooooo much better, then it's no fn wonder his career is spiraling down and OOC. Boy I would love to take a look inside their PCs. Oh and they're all connected to "Paris Wonderlust" on Twitter. Check it.

ReplyDeleteyou need a new set of friends cus this set has just shown their true colors and they're not pretty. and zach, I have a redhot firepoker with your name on it anytime you want to use it up yours.
All we're missing in this post is someone claiming to be dating Johnny on the astral plane. Get to it, trolls!
ReplyDeleteThere will come a day when Johnny and Yenta have a falling out, and it will be biblical in proportions. She has gotten away with so much outright ineptitude so far, and let's face it, the girl is just a hot mess and embarrassing to watch, she looks cheap and sounds even worse, you'e making all this money off of Johnny, can't you get your teefs fixed, girl? Can you lose the Carrie Bradshaw necklace, it isn't 2000 anymore? Is Long Island Skank the name of on your box of Miss Clairol? He's gonna wake up and see her for who she is and what she has done for him, and it ain't gonna be pretty. Just like Tara. It tells a lot about Johnny himself as a person that this hasn't happened already.

ReplyDeletethe day for the falling out is here now. nicole give it up. i am a true, longtime and loyal friend to johnny. u are the troll. u may be with the dingles tonight but u are not with johnny. u, alicia, karin, and adrian need to stop pretending to b johnnys friends and stop speading the insinuations. friends don't do that. u r trying to stir shit and its not cool.
"Anonymous said...All we're missing in this post is someone claiming to be dating Johnny on the astral plane. Get to it, trolls!"
ReplyDeleteoh john and I know who u are insinuating here with this shit statement. nicole, u and the dingles are soooo not friends of johnny's if u are trying to start shit this way with YOU-KNOW-WHO. don't even try to bring down his latest and very loyal friend the one he finally met this past spring in nyc after many years->she is a true angel and has done and continues to do so much for him on his behalf behind the scenes. ur skanky shit, nicole, seeks the spotlight at johnnys expense. can't wait for u, nicole, to kick johnny to the curb for a tv producer.
I wish someone woudl translate all this and tell me what the hell is going on!
ReplyDelete@8:05
ReplyDeleteOne person is responsible for the bulk of the posts. It's rather amusing, but unfortunately these are the ramblings of one deranged individual with multiple personalities. Someone forgot to take their meds.
Wow...I had to go back and remind myself what AJ originally posted. For those of us who love skating, I expected these Olympics to be the last for Johnny, Evan, Tanith and Ben. Most elite American skaters, if they stay healthy, have a 2 Olympic, amateur career cycle. Based on his post-olympic activities there was no way Johnny was competing next season, and I highly doubt he will ever go back to training at that level. As AJ said, they will say they're taking a year off to keep their sponsors.
ReplyDelete"Zach, I have a redhot firepoker with your name on it anytime you want to use it up yours."
ReplyDeleteLOL. I do not know Johnny, not profess to know him, nor profess to care about the goings on in his life. He can do what he wants, it is his life... I do find it humorous, however, that people who call themselves "friends" of Johnny would be involved in a flame war with other each other. The fact that you have chosen to do it in such a public forum and not in private, where it belongs, shows me how much you guys value his friendship.
Seriously... how old are you people? I mean, I've seen some scary 12 y/o's on message boards who would say some crazy stuff, but they're 12 years old. What excuse do you all have?
DINGLES. (HAHAHA, that word is fabulous!)
i think its interesting to see that these last 3 comments were posted here right after johnny weir admitted on his twitter that he was still overseas in japan haha. there it is.
ReplyDeleteanon 8:05, zach and dlt847, ur posting some of the same shit that can be found at "reet" and "weirsjohnny" on livejournal. didnt anyone ever tell you not to give the game away? i would tell u to check ur meds but i can see they havent gotten that far in the developement stages yet. on dingles if the stupid word fits, wear it. nicole, alicia, karin and adrian-u were lying and insinuating that johnny was home when he is not.
i want to thank johnny weir for kindly and indirectly calling all of u fools out on that one haha. serves u right. dingle is short for dingleberry. thats a piece of cling-on dried shit that dangles from ur anus.
@9:09 You are one insane lady. You don't even make sense. Why are you even here?
ReplyDeleteWell, as Dave can vouch for who I am, I feel no need to justify who I am or who I am not. I don't read any forums (other than the occasional post on MKF...), follow anyones twitter, or view other blogs besides AJ... so I wouldn't have the slightest clue as to what's going on.
ReplyDeleteAgain, an anonymous person with the "chutzpah" to call me out (wrongly) on something I know nothing about and am not apart of is laughable. People that criticize from the shadows are the lowest form of people (lower than Ann Coulter... and THAT'S saying something). Everything I say on here is under this name and this name only, which happens to be my REAL name. If you can't stand behind what you say by putting your name on it, please don't bother us with your trolling.
I will no longer acknowledge ANY posts that come from an "anonymous" person. ESPECIALLY ones who don't know how to capitalize proper nouns, the first word in sentences, or use "u, ur, etc." as a substitute for an actual word.
Have a GRAND night.
To Anon @ 7.36 pm, 7.58 pm, etc etc:
ReplyDeleteUm, look, just in case you're crazy/serious rather than crazy/trolly, let me spell it out:
I am in no way, shape or form associated with Johnny or his circle of friends. My reference to "dating on the astral plane" has nothing to do with actual people in Johnny's life. It's a reference from the Harry Potter fandom, relating to a batshit crazy Snape fan. Google it, it's funny. I referenced it because I think you are BATSHIT CRAZY.
- Anon @ 5:49pm
AJ, don't you think that this whole post has gotten really out of hand and at least some of the comments should be deleted?
ReplyDeleteThere is a clearly mentally disturbed person here and while it may be funny for some, it is painful to read. There is so much nonsense posted about Johnny Weir's alleged personal life that a casual reader wouldn't tell it apart from the truth, way to start more gossip and wank.
/I have never commented in this post before nor do I have a personal relationship with any of the people mentioned above. Just please, let's keep it sane?
"I have never commented in this post before nor do I have a personal relationship with any of the people mentioned above." And yet of all the millions of blogs out there, you just happen to find this one and post a comment. Right. Absurd.
ReplyDeleteI was going to post something in rebuttal to the last four posts but it is impossible to argue with sick, disturbed and over-medicated minds.
And those who have the last laugh never got the joke.
Later, DINGLEberries
@3:27
ReplyDeleteYes, It is impossible to argue when you are "sick, disturbed and have an under-medicated mind.
"YOU are "sick, disturbed and have an under-medicated mind."
ReplyDeleteWe are on the same page. Clean up on row 5, Bob. A DINGLEberry just lost it. Crappy job but someone's got to do it.
"There will come a day when Johnny and Yenta have a falling out, and it will be biblical in proportions." "A horrendous fallout with Yenta Modlin over, well, everything (you KNOW this is coming)"
ReplyDeleteI know it's coming. I can feel it. Saw her and heard her at Johnny's party. She brought her son and daughter (Nicki) along to the party; after telling Johnny's fans not to show. Johnny wanted his fans there. That's why he posted the locale on twitter. Yenta (dressed in green) was behind her camera the whole time, purposefully getting her daughter, Nicki, and Johnny to pose for her. She purposefully had them pose for the cupcake shot; inspite of the fact that Nicki's boyfriend/fiance was there right beside Nicki. Talk about a cheapshot.
She is a terrible gossip and plays match-maker all the time. Always getting into everybody's business. Here's the problem: She and daughter, Nicki, have and control several blogs, I-net news accounts, etc. that involve Johnny Weir.
THIS falling out is going to be huge. Donald Trump huge.
Why should Dave police the comments? He has a life. Read the formspring. He would prolly delete all but 5 comments.
ReplyDeleteYou're all nuts.
ReplyDeleteGosh! I don't believe it! I read all this stuff! Now I need a drink, maybe two or three, let's have the whole bottle, just in case to forget I was even on this blog. And I don't even drink!
ReplyDeleteNGL, I am -actually- reading these comments with popcorn.
ReplyDeleteLet me get this straight. Johnny is not gay, Tara has suddenly produced 2 children, Drew and Johnny was a publicity stunt, Paris and the dingles have been taking all of Johnny's money and spending it on clothes and booze,and Tara was part of a conspiracy to further Jeremy's career at the expense of Johnny's.
ReplyDeleteI quite like this fanfiction, but could you also include Evan not winning in Vancover, and werekittens if at all possible.
Anon 9:09...Try walking away from the computer once and awhile; it might help.
ReplyDeleteIf you were so upset about what I said, give me a list of all of the elite American skaters who have competed in more than 2 Olympics (not including Boitano, who turned pro and then came back)?
Yenta Modlin is Tara. Tara/Yenta does not have any children. Don't know what that other person was babbling about, although I still feel the same way about an inevitable falling out between the two. It's evident that she is already the butt of too many of Johnny's mean spirited jokes. He doesn't respect her, not a good thing when someone is your agent. considering that agent is also an idiot, you have the makings for a very flammable situation once somebody, either one of them, wakes up from the famewhore coma they are both in.
ReplyDeleteJMO
anon 4:50 Hi, Over-invested Crazy Cat Lady.
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of mean spirited jokes? Personally I think Johnny can do much better than Tara but who? Can't go to IMG, so who are the other sports agents?
ReplyDeleteI'm still eating my popcorn!
ReplyDelete"I quite like this fanfiction, but could you also include Evan not winning in Vancover, and werekittens if at all possible."
ReplyDeleteNot fanfiction. Although, I'm sure the dingleberries wish it were. OMG! What if I am THE Johnny!!!
Fresh, roasted, salted peanuts, here!
"If you were so upset about what I said, give me a list of all of the elite American skaters who have competed in more than 2 Olympics (not including Boitano, who turned pro and then came back)?"
ReplyDeleteWhy not include Brian? Are you saying it can't happen again?
I'm looking deep, deep into your crystal ball (s), and it is saying. *shakes 8 ball* IT IS SAYING:
You will never be anything more than the dumb-smart ass you are right now!

ReplyDeleteTara (older than 31 yrs; try 40-something) has a sister (also in 40s) who has two children. All were at the party. Just open your eyes and see the resemblance. Tara's sister was constantly getting Nicki and MR. Weir to pose together. She directed every pose. See the blonde in the purple and white sitting face-front on Johnny's lap? Straddled? I think that's Beth.
I agree, Tara, her sis, and their connections (using personal accounts solely on the internet as a way and means to further Johnny's "stardom") have made plenty of money off of Johnny (via Tara); and a falling out between Johnny and Tara is coming and this equals a falling out and disconnection with all of Tara's family, and Tara's sister does not want that. She is playing match-maker along with Auntie Tara. Tara is too friendly with Johnny to be a serious agent. Also, if Paris had not met Johnny at an ice show in Atlanta, GA; he and Johnny would not be together, today. Hence the "dingles" would never be. The "dingles" came together when Paris entered the picture and know each other through Paris, and will break up when he is totally out of the picture, for good; as he should be for leaving Johnny the way he did.
What Johnny doesn't realize is that his meeting Paris was no accident. Question: Is Tara's mom retired now and living in Georgia? Just curious.
Anon 6:56~Johnny needs a better agent. Who? They are all over New York and New Jersey, and they're hungry. Pick one. If Johnny wants to go further on all levels and stay on track, this will have to happen and soon.

Looks like Johnny has some very aggressive, evil-spirited, possessive and obsessed fans and friends out there who suddenly take great pleasure in making HIS personal life their personal business and it really needs to stop. Here are the latest, newest Yenta's who call themselves and are posing as fans. Jennavacado knows "reet" and "reet" knows "weirsjohnny" and there are those who know who owns that account. Its all connected.

OMG Hector? Is that you? Apparently the Ukrainian skater didn't work out.
ReplyDeleteJohnny met and was friends with Paris several years before Tara was his agents. He trained with Priscilla Hill as a Junior.
Tara is indeed 31. Her mother Sherry still works as a real estate agent in New York. And she has one older brother, not a sister.
Besides, why on earth would you tempt Johnny with an attractive woman? It would be like tempting me with a cod sandwich. Not interested.
As for the Brian Boitano note... Boitano's comeback certainly didn't match his OGM performance in 1988, it was a weird afterthought on his career IMO, and the sport has become even more physically taxing on the athletes. Maybe if Johnny were a couple years younger he could have pulled a Plushenko, but 29? That's a major stretch for a modern Men's Single.
@12:19 Time to take your lithium lady. Hey pass the popcorn
ReplyDeleteAt first it was funny, then annoying...now it's definitely scary.
ReplyDeleteI think this person is totally crazy and maybe dangerous and I hope she lives in a continent that's not America and far far far away from Johnny.
I just want to point out that there is activity on this post by certain users that could be illegal ....
ReplyDeleteAlso wondering how old some of these people are ...
What is interesting is this confirms that there ARE those fans and friends close to Johnny who honestly believe that they have this solemn right to tell, demand, order, and request just who Johnny is going to be with, date, and can or cannot have and frankly, THAT to me and the other intelligent people here in my office is what we have taken note of and find ridiculous. It's not scary really because this is a blog, and is not to be taken seriously at all. Those who DO take it seriously are in some major dire need of help and counseling. To say whether Johnny can or cannot have someone or visa-verse should be completely off limits from all sides of this equation. Johnny can fend for himself and doesn't need anybody's help; not his manager, not his friends, not his collegues and certainly not his fans.
ReplyDeleteAccording to textbook cases I've studied, it would take a truly crazed and obessessed fan or friend to dare try and control this part of Johnny's life.
Anon 2:38
ReplyDeleteNicely put. I've notice some insane jealousy displayed by Johnny's fans and a few of his friends on Twitter, FB, LJ and other blogs. I'm sure Johnny notices this, too. It probably breaks his heart to see this more than anything else. There are those fans and friends of Johnny's who on the one hand post loudly and proudly on FB and Twitter that they have his back, and then sadly these same ones turn around and take great pleasure in literally pouncing on and injuring a couple of people or so I've noticed with their hateful postings on these social sites. The people who Johnny's "well-meaning" fans and friends pounce upon have issued no injury whatsoever to his fans or friends, personally or professionally.
Disgusting outrage.
One little comment about the Dingles. Johnny has known Paris since 2003, they were and are best friends. Adam who is pictured in many of the photos from the birthday party is a friend from Delaware who Johnny and Paris use to hang out with. Paris is working full time so he is not sponging off of Johnny, Adam also has a job as well as being a graduate of the University of Delaware. I don't know the other two Dingles.
ReplyDeleteWell, I have a question for all the fans, dingles, crazies, and so on--where are all these birthday pictures many of you mentioned--I don't see them on the Facebook page--am I just blind? I googled and found some at other sites, however, and there seem to be a lot of gray shirt guys.
ReplyDeleteAre the pics too racy for the FB page, perhaps? Maybe not fan-friendly? Maybe only dingle-friendly?
It's time to let this one go. This is now a week long debate about a relatively harmless choice of words. Let's all move on from this petty, silly, and childlike behavior!
ReplyDeleteAnon 7:04 and 8:58, It was around just before or after Torin games so 2003 isn't it. More like late '04- late '06. For a time, Paris was mooching off Johnny, or so Johnny, Patti and family tells it. You're right. The party pics were released on very specific terms.
ReplyDeleteAnon 8:18, Johnny is not "done for", as you say. He HAS to work hard now. Ironically, many of his current "friends" (used loosely) WANT Johnny to be "done for" so Johnny can party it up. They're so immature. When Johnny is used up, these "friends" and some "fans" will throw him to the curb. Mark it.
To brooklynkitten (Karin-dingle); stop lying. You are not sleeping with Johnny at this moment inside his apartment; nor at your place in Brooklyn. That is not an option for you or any of the dingles. Stop insinuating and trying to start something, and stop trying to make yourself important to Johnnys fans. Those who believe you and the dingles who are like you are the crazies. Plu said so. Johnny doesn't need this from you or any of the dingles. He is worn out and is sleeping in his own bed. ALONE. Show him and his family just a little respect, please. I feel so sorry for Johnny if you are the definition of his friend because you are not.
Oh and please don't hate me because I was also knew about Kelly's breakup before any of you did.
Saw that. This Karin-dingle-brooklynkitten is obviously a troublemaker looking for a place to happen. If I were in bed or sleeping with Johnny, the last thing I would do is post or tweet it.
ReplyDeleteKarin, stop being such a schmuck. A plutz. Who the fuck do you think you're fooling with your bs. True you were at JFK, but Johnny made his own way home without you. So to ease your suffering and pain for being passed-over, you make this big announcement; supposedly in private but it gets around and you know it. No, I don't think Johnny's fans on twitter are truly friends of yours. Hello, captain obvious.
Whether he is asleep right now or not is not the issue, silly. The sad fact is this person claims to be a friend and is trying to cause and stir trouble by making herself appear more important than she is in Johnny's life. Karin; brunette, dingle, about 5'5", posted a lie as though she were Johnny using Johnny's phone insinuating that she was his g/f while Johnny was in the bathroom at a restaurant. The only one who is a direct danger to Johnny is YOU, Karin. You're a psychopath. A troublemaking psychopath. Get some help.
ReplyDeleteAnd now, not to be out-done by Karin or anyone else, BSonTwit claims she has naked pictures of Johnny Weir from his Japan photoshoot on Tuesday, but she won't post them because her account will be deleted. Another psychopath. Was this the one who was also stalking him at JFK earlier today? And didn't she crash his birthday party after telling other fans not to show because it would be inappropriate? SICK.
ReplyDeleteAnd to think Johnny just happen to be posting a picture at the same time. It was a coincidence or so he said.
ReplyDeleteAJ, I think it is indeed sad you continue to allow this junk to be posted as comments to your Blog.
ReplyDeleteAnd so much of the attacks on JOhnny and his fans is 'anonymous'. You can use Google, LiveJournal, WordPress, Blogger, AIM, or anonymous or anonymous and include some kind of name or URL with it if you have none of the above. I would put a lot more stock in any critical comment that had some name or profile attached to it. It's interesting to me that the very person that is accusing others of trying to masquerade as friends of Johnny's is the one who is indeed masquerading as someone other than who they are.
You have a LJ account at least, why not post as yourself, you faker?
How come no one else can see any of these twits claiming someone is in bed with Johnny or has photos of him nude? IF someone is actually claiming this, post a direct link that works or copy and paste the original twit.
ReplyDeletethen maybe we will believe you.
ReplyDeleteI'm comment 170.
ReplyDeleteYupiiiiiiiiiiiiie!
Ok first, I wouldn't dream of having a LJ account. Those were originally designed for teens and tweens; not immature adults. I am more real than you can possibly imagine. Auntie Az, you are Gail and you know absolutely nothing about Johnny or his whereabouts; who he sees or what he does. Yet you took the liberty of twisting Johnny's own words on his own twitter when Johnny made it very clear that HE is going (alone) to shop at Opening Ceremony (Paris may drop by). Then HE is going (alone) over to Chris Benzs' studio (a designer whose designs Johnny is only considering for "Creme de la Creme") to MEET UP with Nicole and Shawty; a nickname given to Johnny's friend. A guy friend. It may be the nickname pinned on Nicole's fiance, Robert~~>in a very silky, grey button-down shirt, sitting next to Nicole at Johnny's party. You will see in some later party pics that Johnny was still at the party dancing but Nicole was not. That's because she left with this guy in the silky grey shirt who arrived late after long day at the office. Immediately after "Robert" arrived, then "Rob" and Nicole left together; hand-in-hand, arm-in-arm, like the two lovebirds they ARE.
ReplyDeleteDid you forget that Johnny may meet his other friends over there? Or that Paris may tag-along? No, and you are not a fan when you purposefully twist Johnny's own words against him. No, you just want to be starting something. Be careful you do not bite off more than you can easily chew and swallow.
As for anonymous 3:24 & 3:55; because maybe by now BS deleted them. I'm sure I'm not the only one who saw the tweets. I'm quite sure Johnny saw them, too. There may or may not be any tweet-pics, but I'm inclined to doubt that Johnny will indulge every single whim.
Let's also not forget Johnny is meeting up with Tara and Lucian Piane today for obvious reasons. Funny how you left that out. Everyone is gravitating towards Johnny now; but only because he is doing this Dirty Love video and they ALL have a strong desire to be in the video. Ritchie Rich, too. It's all show, and once all this dies down and loses just some of its original punch, we shall see.
ReplyDeleteAs I said, Nicole just now met up with Johnny at Chris's studio with Shawty and others; hence the photos now being posted. None of them at OC because he was shopping alone. You twisted Johnny's words, Gail. That's not nice.
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting that, when you see people referring to 'Anon.3:65' or 'Anonymous 7:82' (examples specifically chosen as to NOT reflect any actual times/persons): that this discussion is akin to 'Bible Bingo'- people bashing each other with Bible quotes. In both places, the level of evangelism / fanaticism is as self-evident. Sad.
ReplyDeleteThe uuberfans seem to miss the fact that, in reality, they have NOTHING in common with their idols!- and could never really be their friends!
'Idols' don't get to be champions by sitting online & obsessing about minutia about their heroes. They hit the rink, they go to Pilates, they watch their diet, they go to bed (to SLEEP). They are self-involved (not a bad thing) to develop THEMSELVES to DO great things. You would NOT catch them wasting the hours away obsessing about another person (as do uuberfans), and they would have NOTHING in common with those who do such things.
If you really want to be a fan- use that person's accomplishments to INSPIRE YOUR OWN. Get off the message boards, get off the comments list, and go DO something, go BE INSPIRATIONAL. BE somebody that would be interesting to your hero! It's not that hard to do!- and you'd have the honest respect of your idols/heroes if you did.
Logging off to 'Go BE AMAZING!' lol - Try it, you'll like it, too! :)
Anon 4:23, while some of what you posted is true, and in reference to whether of not Johnny would ever be friends with some of his "uuberfans" as you call them: I now have to remind you and everyone here who has the nerve to call yourselves friends, fans, "dingles", uuberfans, whatever you want to call yourselves; and I hate to drop this bomb but you seem to be missing a VERY IMPORTANT FACTOID: YOU, Nicole, Paris, Joe, Justin, Jeff, Silas, etc. are NOT the boss of Johnny Weir. Never have been. Never will be.
ReplyDeleteI love how you try to manipulate Johnny and everything in his life. The tighter you tighten your hands, the quicker and more Johnny will slip through your fingers.
Well Johnny himself just tweeted all the twitter addresses of the Dingles and asked everyone to follow his Dingles.
ReplyDeleteWhich is actually kind of creepy. I love Johnny's skating but am I supposed to be a fan of his friends, too? I don't get it. Or maybe the intent is to establish who is who because of all the name-dropping in this thread?
ReplyDeleteBefore this thread ends, I want to thank AJ for the original post. Johnny's letter was sweet, and I do wish him the best in all his ventures. I just wish he'd narrow his extracurricular (ie, non-skating) activities down a bit. It's hard to do things well if you go from project to project. He needs a vacation and some quiet time to think about what is most important to him.
Not sure why Johnny wants us to follow his friends but I did look at their tweets and one posted a photo of Johnny playing MarioKart. Nice to see him relaxing and having fun.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous July 16, 2010 6:05 PM NEWS WE CAN USE: Hey! Guess what! Olympic skater, Johnny Weir, is PLAYING WITH HIS DINGLES on a Friday night!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd what about Frenchie, Karin and the others? This gathering sounds specific; like only those dingles who wanted to join Johnny in hurting someone (obviously) got involved. How cheap. And while Johnny is playing Mario Kart with his dingles and YOU are hanging on his every command; other people are going out, seeing movies, seeing friends, going out for dinner and drinks or inviting friends over for same. Sad.
And using friends for the sake of retaliation against another is never a good plan. This always backfires; and Johnny will end up more hurt and alone than when it started. And Paris sounds so threatening when he says he is going to start something tomorrow. What? His car? Another stupid rumor? Another stupid blog full of lies and photoshopped pictures of Johnny? Obviously, Johnny is trying to get someone's attention; someone he actually likes ALOT and has a huge CRUSH on, and it's not working.
"Logging off to 'Go BE AMAZING!' lol - Try it, you'll like it, too! :) July 16, 2010 4:23 PM"
Is that YOU, Johnny, TRYING to be amazing? With what purpose? Just WHO are you trying to impress? And what are you going to do when SHE doesn't respond? I think you need to talk to Patti about this. This is not the way to win someone's affections.
"Anonycat said...Which is actually kind of creepy. I love Johnny's skating but am I supposed to be a fan of his friends, too?"
ReplyDeleteThat's exactly it. And it is very, very creepy. It totally confirms what I and some other anonymous posters have already posted: Johnny's "friends" want and crave attention and their time in Johnny's spotlight. Paris, especially. Paris had dreams of skating, too. Or didn't you notice. Those dreams fell through and now Johnny is Paris' only hope of any kind of worldwide celebrity and fame. And that's what it's all about with the dingles; they want and crave celebrity, not Johnny's friendship.
Johnny Weir is a fool.
It was good of Plush to send up a flag about twenty-four hours ago that all this was going to go down. I also know now what Paris is planning to start tomorrow. Amazed at how Paris and friends (sans Johnny) love to waste time. So typical. Bring it on, Paris. Bring it on.

You must be one of those jealous dingles who got posted about earlier. Must have been one of your own post or a friend of yours. Johnny needs to earn his fans' trust; not the other way around. And considering some of the nasty things his dingles have done to and said about people (like calling people they think are outsiders "mongooses and trolls") is beneath high-school level behavior. Why would anyone want to be like that, especially Johnny. So immature. And to think Johnny worked so hard to gain the public trust; only to have it destroyed by acting childish and immature on a public timeline. I understand Johnny takes medication for sleeplessness and OCD. If he drinks on top of this, I can only imagine the danger.
"Anonymous said...Tons of trolling! Get over it! I like this post, AJ." July 17, 2010 2:43 AM
And the "trolling" would include yours. Couldn't help but notice that Johnny Weir and his Lexus started dropping dingles off about 3 to 3.5 hours ago. You two must have been among the first. So, did any of you chip in for gas? Of course not. You're always up for one free ride or the other. And you really should be careful about who you're calling a "troll". I could be sleeping with your boss for all you know, and you'd be frying fish or cleaning prison toilets tomorrow. What do any of you bring to the table? What do any of you do for Johnny? Nada. Nothing. Ziltch. I'm sure Johnny drank his pain and suffering away tonight.
Dingles are USING Johnny. Users are LOSERS. YOU need to get over yourselves.
Why can't any of you accept the fact that Johnny has friends? Can't you accept the fact that Johnny is now doing something he couldn't do all those years of competing? He's hanging out with friends, much better than staying home alone vacumming and making hand shadow puppets. And if these friends do prove to be just fair weather friends, that is for Johnny to find out and it will be a learning experience for Johnny, just like it is for everyone else.
ReplyDeleteI take that back. Johnny's career is finished. It is over and done, and there will be no more; ever and regardless of the direction he takes. Know why? It's because of the company Johnny keeps.
ReplyDeleteJohnny? Yeah, I'm talking to YOU; because I know you've been here reading posts. If you want those of us who act more mature, are more respectful, more responsible, hold high-paying positions in a variety of prominent sectors, and can really be of extreme benefit to you and your "friends" (and I absolutely agree with anon who used that term loosely as do I and MOST intelligent people); then you need to seriously drop the dingles who bear the kind of attitude where they love and enjoy calling YOUR FANS and other (professional) people they DO NOT EVEN KNOW "trolls and mongeese".

Dear delusional fans who read my blog,
ReplyDeleteCould you please reach 200 comments because that would make my day?

"Anonymous said...Why can't any of you accept the fact that Johnny has friends?" Why can't you accept the fact that these cling-ons are not his friends. They are using Johnny and his celebrity for their own selfish gain.
ReplyDelete"Can't you accept the fact that Johnny is now doing something he couldn't do all those years of competing?" Actually, Johnny did hang out with his friends plenty during the years of competing. Christa, Paris, ALL of them. Did Johnny not celebrate this past New Years with his friends??? You make it sound like he's been in a lock-down situation and it's never been that way, period. His current "dingles" only want to hang out with him now because of all these other projects he's got going on. Can't wait now for these projects to fall through, and prove everything false. They're clinging on a hope that the camera spotlight will catch them, too. That is all. It's not love.
"He's hanging out with ????, much better than staying home alone vacumming and making hand shadow puppets." Do you really believe that's ALL Johnny does at home? Boy, have you been brainwashed.
"And if these friends do prove to be just fair weather friends, that is for Johnny to find out and it will be a learning experience for Johnny, just like it is for everyone else."
If Johnny wants a clear shot at the Winter Games in Sochi, he has to make up his mind now. Spots are filling up FAST. He doesn't have time to learn all that he must and relearn all that he must relearn for this. He has no time left. This is it. The clock is ticking. Yeah, and Johnny will find out when he is on his ass and on the streets just how close he was to that crown. And he left it for what? A good time?
Why can't his "dingles" be mature about this and know and realize their place in his life? Why must they hog themselves over him. Why can't they be a little more patient and go on and live their own lives and make their own success? Why can't they grow up? Why can't they move on? Why can't they see that they are choking Johnny's potential for absolute greatness and absolute happiness right out of him and right out of his future? Why? Because his "friends" (dingles) are absolutely JEALOUS of Johnny's success; because they have NONE and they want to strip that success and all potential for greater success completely away from Johnny.
I've seen too many talented people fall in places like Vegas, New York, New Jersey and L.A. because their "friends" left them when the money ran out. Do you want this to happen to Johnny? Do you want him to end up like this? If Johnny is going to rise above this, then this is the time to do it and there will be no other in this life. This is it. His moment is NOW.
And his "friends" have no choice but to understand and wait their turn IF they really care about him; or they can leave and go on with their own lives.

ReplyDeleteNicole, that statement is so you. Shut up. Sit down before you hurt yourself, troll.

Apparently, you do, Nicole. Good to know you're not in bed having sex with someone right now. I guess this proves it. Thanks.
And now, if you all will please excuse me; John is calling. :)

ReplyDeleteYou know, I hate to admit but you're right. After taking the time to really look at all the YouTube videos and others out there, I will say that Paris is practically in every party shot with Johnny. And I know by watching these that the other friends (dingles) can't be far behind and are also most likely at these parties with Johnny. For them to complain about hardly ever seeing Johnny or that they are never with Johnny is insane and completely absurd and without merit. But it is in keeping with their general immaturity and total lack of regard for Johnny's well-being, and for Johnny reaching his full potential.
Noooooooooooooo, I ran out of popcorn! Gone to buy some ice cream and plenty of it! This is really a good post! Hope it never ends!! Ha ha ha ha...

Unless you are a member of Johnny's family or someone hoping to reap the benefits of Johnny's paychecks, what difference does it make to you if Johnny hangs out with the Dingles? He's 26 years old, stop treating him like a ten year old who has to have his playdates monitored.

ReplyDeleteWant to share some of my ice cream?
@Anon 6:53:
ReplyDeleteSure. I´ll bring popcorn.
Do you think they get the required 200 comments?
@ Anon 8:35 AM
ReplyDeleteNo doubt.
Year off = unofficially retired.
ReplyDeleteWhat a loony week!

ReplyDeleteIs this by chance Joe B. or is your name Adrian, who also has the name violet-crumble? Your avatar looks the same. Just wondering.
"Anonymous said...Unless you are a member of Johnny's family or someone hoping to reap the benefits of Johnny's paychecks, what difference does it make to you if Johnny hangs out with the Dingles?" Because YOU are a dingle and YOU are fucking up his life because YOU don't fucking care. And so far, no one has been able to make money from his paychecks. One grand doesn't last long in the NYC/NJ area. Oh, and his book's break-even point is 500 thousand copies that must be sold or he has to render the advance monies plus interest back to the publisher.
ReplyDelete"He's 26 years old, stop treating him like a ten year old who has to have his playdates monitored. July 17, 2010 7:41 AM"
Such immaturity. Oh yes, finally. Just like we knew it was from the beginning. The selfish battle-cry of the dingle clan has begun (sans Johnny because he wouldn't LOWER himself to this level). Me-me-me-my-my-my-now-now-now. This proves what someone else posted here. YOU are a dingle and are jealous of Johnny's success. ADMIT IT. Don't you see why Johnny is really doing this? To bring YOU out. YOU don't want that.
I love how Paris refers to the dingles as a "tribe". How pre-school do you get? Could his medication be causing him to mentally go into retrograde? You know, they say that when adults are super-depressed and uncertain about their future, it's not unusual for them to go back to their childhood a lot. What IS unusual in Paris' case is that he is ACTING more like a child. Total mental case. Someone needs to Baker Act him and make room at Belleview.
ReplyDelete"Mommie? I'm going to go play cowboys and indians with my tribe, okay? Be back after sundown."
Thank you Johnny for showing this.
"While my eyes are currently focused on many different projects, my brain will never forget about the Sochi Olympics in 2014. It would be a dream for me to compete in an Olympic Games in Russia, and I think one thing my fans know about me is that I don’t give up on a dream easily."
ReplyDeleteYeah, well it looks like your "dingles" are helping you OUT, LITERALLY. That's right. You're going to be OUT of the Sochi games if you don't get back on that horse.
Fuck. It's your fucking life, Johnny. Do what the FUCK you want to do, but don't say I didn't warn you. And DO NOT put the blame on me or ANY of your fans or TRUE friends. "TRUE friends" do NOT include the dingles. They are more on Paris' side than yours, Johnny. Time for you to face some hard, cold facts.
