Hello Susie,

Thanks for asking my opinion but I don’t really believe my opinion is any more significant than anyone else’s in this situation. Everyone has a different perspective on his situation and the outcome. Now that his lawsuit is settled and over, everyone needs to put it behind them, forget about it, and not dwell on it. I am happy for Steve that he has settled his lawsuit. It is good for him and he can now move on with his life. I was “involved” longer than I should have been. I got caught up with the drama of it all when I shouldn’t have but I did learn a lot from the experience. I really don’t have much I want to write anymore regarding the Reality Steve lawsuit except that I am glad it’s over.

There were things I knew that many people didn’t know. There were many things I was dark on just like everyone else. Don’t read too much into those two statements either good or bad. I know I have not really answered your question but I have my own reasons for that. Sorry.

The best thing I can say is that everyone should just put it all behind them because very few people will get the answers they want. Some things will have to remain a mystery.

I wish you and all the Reality Steve readers who followed what I wrote well. Nearly everyone from his readership was kind and respectful to me and I greatly appreciated that very much. I will remember it fondly.

I kind of find it upsetting Steve said he made no contacts with any contestants and didn’t pay any of them. Know after the settlement Steve comes out and says he did email previous contestants but; they never responded back to him. To me this is still contacting contestants even though they didn’t respond back. I still consider Steve lied to his readers.

I would love to know if you would have stood by his side like you did if you would have know the truth that Steve contacted contestants from the show.

I will be waiting anxiously to hear what you have to say.

Thank You

I agree with you that the lawsuit is a bit weak on the legal merits but it is attracting a ton of publicity. I also agree with you that the “Bachelor” racial discrimination lawsuit could regenerate interest in the Reality Steve Lawsuit.

FYI, I thought you did a fabulous job on your Squidoo lens. I think I pointed a link to it in one of my prior blog posts. In fact, you helped inspire me to expand my Squidoo presence with what you did. It is nice when other people chip into help as you did.

I am looking for links for the actual press conference

https://abclocal.go.com/wpvi/story?section=news/entertainment&id=8627081

can’t seem to locate the press conference but I will send a note to TMZ and
see it they will put it back up

this seems to be generating a lot of interest more than I thought it would

The lawsuit has been filed and a ton of new information has come out. I will try to share some of what I found soon.

this is the article https://www.tmz.com/2012/04/17/the-bachelor-the-bachelorette-sued-lawsuit-african-americans-black/#.T4-FkS8XiuY

I am sure the video of the press conference is on the site somewhere I will just have to keep looking but it was interesting and they are filing the suit soon from what I understand

Do you have a video link to the press conference? I could not find it.
