HarryCarter Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Lucy has the dubious honor of receiving her own special issue of the tabloid The Globe. It's quite negative. The cover exclaims "Lucy and Ethel Gay Scandal" and "Lucy's Affair with Married Man." Inside, they debunk the former and devote only a single sentence to the latter. Most of it is about how Lucy was a tyrant on the set, a bad mother, and victimized by Desi. There are so many errors that you'd lose count trying to keep track. It's as if the people in group who "wrote" this didn't read what each other wrote. There are tons of contradictions throughout, sometimes on the same page! On one page, they give two different dates for Lucy and Desi's second marriage - and neither one is right! There are a lot of nice pictures, but I'm sure we've all seen 99% of them before. Save your money and don't encourage them to attack Lucy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Save your money and don't encourage them to attack Lucy. That's disgusting. She's been dead nearly 24 years and she can't defend herself. I think they were just having a slow news day (before the Boston Marathon bombings today). I think they must pull dead celebs' names out of a hat and then make up BS to sell issues when they don't have anything more useful to write about.

Lucyilove Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 This is at least the third "special issue" of a tabloid in magazine format in the last few months, the others being on Doris Day and Elizabeth Taylor. I'm kind of surprised this one is apparently so badly done as the Doris reportedly was fairly nice. Of course Doris is still with us. Most of these type magazines are not very good but wow this one sounds horribly done by what you mention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeySanJoaquin Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 It's all about making a buck, no matter who they screw over in the process and I'm sure you're onto something that they were overly vicious with one who isn't around to defend i.e. litigate over the perhaps libelous verbiage but then...they do have heirs don't they, protecting their estate, use of images, etc. etc. so who knows? Get 'em, Lucie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annaleigh Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 I bought it for the pictures and duh it's Lucy. Read it during my lunch and wanted to shred it to pieces. Shall I say more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brock Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 Globe is re-hashing the "secret daughter" angle on their cover this week. :MrsRichardCarlson: Globe is giving this story more performances than South Pacific. Also... "Plus: Why Richard Burton wanted her DEAD" (emphasis theirs) lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mot Morenzi Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 Maybe they'll have Armand White review all her material and publish it. That'll be a flattering read, no doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get 'em, Lucie! No, Lucie can't sue anyone over defamatory statements against her parents. She can only sue if she, herself, is the target of libel. Once someone dies, unfortunately people are free to write whatever they want about them with no consequences. http://jonathanturley.org/2007/08/18/defaming-the-dead/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
