In Corner #1 we have Richard Heene the father of "Balloon Boy". As most of you may know last week Heene alleges that his boy was inside a home-made balloon that mysteriously floated away with his little boy inside. Heene's son was in fact not inside the balloon, but rather, was in the family's garage. Oversight? Not likely.
In Corner #2 We have Gloria Allred, tv and celebrity media personality who claims to also be an attorney but spends more time in front of television cameras than in an actual office or courtroom.
Both of these personalities, Allred and Heene, are the biggest media whores one can come across. Heene, we learn, was previously on a show called Wife Swap and was currently attempting to pitch a reality television program about his family, because after all, they are "scientists". What better way to get a reality tv show than to claim that a balloon that you made took your son away.
Gloria Allred on the other hand is a real class act. It seems that every time there is any issue with a celebrity and their families, Allred is the first one to come out on TMZ and "fight for whomevers rights." People like her give attorneys bad names, and it is the Bar of California that should make an investigation about her. Currently she is proposing that Heenes parental rights be taken away because of the fiasco he caused. While I think the guy is a total idiot and should foot the bill the city and county had to attain due to his hoax, that does not make him unfit to be a father. Allred has cried wolf so many times that no ones listens to her. Her only real forums are those of celebrity news shows. She claims to be an advocate, but of whom, TMZ? I have been following her closely for a while and I have yet to hear about an actual real case where she really helped someone out or had some type of influence in an actual court ruling. I find it appalling that she is criticizing Heene for starting a media circus, this was the same woman that said that Heather Mills $48 million dollar divorce settlement from Paul McCartney was unfair and sexist. Yeah Gloria, I would love to know how many Pro-Bono cases you take a year and how many low income clients you have. After all, you want to be a "fighter for rights"
So in this fight, Richard Heene, not even your balloon boy idea is a match to super celebrity, TMZ, loving attorney Gloria Allred! Its a Knockout!
Am I the only one who thinks she is a media whore? Thoughts?
