Jul 23 2007Tammy Faye Messner (1942 - 2007)

i heard she died of mascara poisoning

Primeiro.

Frist?

That poor woman has been through so much. She certainly had her part to play back then but she seemed genuinely repentant and torn apart by her husband's cheating. Bless her.

sad that she died, but she was full of crap.

that cat looks possessed, but not as much as she does. someone call a priest.

And so ends the longest-ever animal testing of cosmetics. It was reported that she had 26 tumors, all in different garish colors.

That was wrong, Funder... but it was still funny. lol.

Tammy Faye was such a beautiful person, she was strong and funny til the end. I hope she's happier, wherever she is.

You know her bastard ex-husband never bothered contacting her throughout this whole thing? I hope he burns.

Meh. She was a retarded dayglo squeaktoy, so I had to make her suffer a little at the end. I fuckin hate retards, I don't know why Dad keeps cranking them out. The big irony is that her will says she'll be buried in a giant vat of cold cream. Go figure.

**************************
WHAT! Are you serious? Unbelievable! He was married to that woman for 30 years and she was the mother of his children.

remember that talk show she had?

This woman was an emotional basketcase who was brutally used and exploited by her husband. I wish he had died.

She was a thief and a con artist and used the gay community to further her career, but still, noone deserves to go that way.

♥ I loved Tammy♥
Everyone knowz that it waz a baztard man that
cauzed that mezz in the old dayz....
totally not her fault...men R greedy mutherfuckerz☻

I learned to love her when zhe waz on the Zurreal Life
with Ron Jeremy, and Ice Ice BABY..GOD, I love Ice...
and thoze other crazy people in the houze..what a funny
and great zhow that waz..I feel zorry for her kidz & huzband
♥love U Tammy♥

Well, if she's dead, she's not up here with me. Lemme call Lu downstairs and see if she 's with him.

BTW, Hash, are you portuguese? I ask from the way you spell first.

Yeah Mruei, she's been thru so much....so much effing makeup.

I read this site every day and I totally enjoy the irreverent style. I have to say, though, that when I noticed Tammy Faye's picture I expected the caption to be the normal putdown. I was very pleased to see that it was a simple mention of her death. One problem with some putdown humorists is that they don't know when to turn it off.

Good for you.

She was more of woman than Victoria Beckham will ever be. She was honest with the world in regards to who she was.

RIP

Ok...For everyone who had something bad to say about this lady, you should feel VERY bad! Never speak ill of the dead! She was very brave and made a point to show people everywhere suffering the same fate that death was something to be embraced because of what waits beyond it. RIP Tammy.

Grow up- you aren't even remotely funny.

Well, say hello to GOD for me and if you see my mother tell her I STILL HATE YOUR FUCKING GUTS!!!!!!

um...R.I.P. whoever you are (were)

good call, #16.

I can not believe some people can be so cruel. It doesn't matter what you were in life, leave it alone when someone is dead. It's called respect. Thanks for having some Superficial.

Yeah, anything she may have inadvertently done to gays, or anyone else, was likely 99% just that -- inadvertent.

Her douchebag husband used her as a pawn and her life became a series of unfortunate events that you wouldn't wish on your worst enemy.

She may not have been the President of MENSA, but I think she was a genuinely well-meaning human being, which is pretty much the best anyone can hope to be remembered as in their life.

RIP

It's probably unnecessary to badmouth her now that she's dead, but I fail to understand why anyone feels the need to wear a cyber-black-armband here.

if you can be taken advantage of THAT MUCH, you fuckin deserve it. in the end, everybody is responsible for their own actions, and for the impact their actions have on others. even the most rose-colored glasses types get a clue after awhile, when they're with the wrong person or involved in bad stuff, and after that there's no excuse to continue on with a big fat fake smile pasted on your face. it's not innocence, it's lack of courage. her spineless apologists make me sick - what, she's innocent because "Tammy Faye" is such a cute name? Grow up.

which one do you think has got their finger up the cats ass?

Tammy Faye past away (rip) and a whole country (Cayman-Islands) is in mourn for her.

Ding Dong the Witch is Dead!!

Ew. Look at him. You know he gladly took it up the ass in prison.

Can you post a picture of her with her current husband, instead of the cheating jailbird she rightfully dumped? She's been remarried for several years, now.

I never actually knew much about her, but I hope she rests in peace. <3

Good, along with Falwell, another horrible person died. I don't get the free pass this woman gets with the media. This bitch, along with her horrible ex-husband, took advantage of millions of idiots back in the 1980s. I love how in her last interview she talks about going to heaven. I mean, if she really believes in such nonsense wouldn't she be going to hell? Good riddence.

She was so ill during her appearance on Larry King. At least her suffering is now over.

Rest in Peace, Tammy Faye.

Who cares...lots of younger people die every day for far more tragic reasons. Jim Baker was a douchebag Holy-Roller swindler and she was a gullible semi-moronic, jesus-freak simpleton. She isn't in a "better place"...in a few days she'll be in the ground.

I don't think she was a bad person, but come on people....

(29) That is probably so true...look at his fake nasty smile.
You can see that he is hiding something.
R.I.P. Tammy

Rot in hell

I loved this crazy bitch, back in the day. A bunch of us used to sit around, get high, and watch the PTL show until our sides were splitting. It was easily the funniest thing on TV - it's beyond me how people actually fell for it. Tammy Faye was the best part of the show, because she always seemed really high herself, and always said the wrong thing with perfect timing:
Jim Bakker: "These are deeply disturbed sinners, and we must-"
Tammy Faye (tearful): "Offer our love to them!!!"
Jim Bakker: "-condemn their evil actions."

Only Tammy Faye would physically improve after getting terminal cancer. Shame she couldn't live longer with her new and improved looks.

thank the lord for no. 16

all of the cruel stupid ass people that are on this web site..that have anything bad to say about her...may god have mercy on your souls! She did not deserve to die like that! i damn near cried when I saw her on Larry King! It was so sad..to see her wasted away like that! I couldn't believe my eyes! they showed previous clips of her on the "Surreal Life" and she was like the glue that held them together, and she seemed like such a joy to be around! GAAWD it almost makes me question..God why? I know that she isn't the only one that has died from cancer, but it was like a rude awakening to me! She couldn't eat solid foods..only Chicken soup, and rice pudding...BABY RIP, YOUR NOT SUFFERING ANYMORE!

When she died and they pulled the sheet over her head, it created the whole Shroud of Turin effect. Except this time the image looked like a wrinkled rodent with a too-many-teeth smile and glittering unfocused psycho eyes.

That was HER on Larry King?!?!!

I was flipping channels when I saw that, and I assume that they had substituted a piece of beef jerky for his scheduled guest, so I just moved on to another channel. Had I know it was Tammy Faye, I would have moved on, but laughed first.

It's karma or something - at the end, she physically resembled a mascara applicator. Must be like owners eventually resembling their pets.

#32 - Here's are some new concepts for you to learn:
1. forgiveness of sins
2. repentance
Start by looking their definitions up & then get back to us.

I never understood why she applied so much makeup to herself the way she did, or why Jim Bakker found that attractive enough to want to marry her. Still, the way she was decimated by cancer when she was on Larry King's show was tragic. May God have mercy on your soul, TFM.

man, when she was on Larry King, she looked like she weighed about 60 pounds........and 40 of that was eyelashes.

#44 - "Here are". Sorry for the typo.

that's her in the middle, right?

My daughter was watching the Larry King interview and wanted to know why Larry wouldn't give Donald Duck a sandwich.

Someone needs to kill that cat or whatever the fuck it is. Everyone should be reunited with their pets in the afterlife, not right away if the animal still has some life in it , but that fucking thing looks like it some how cheated into 10 lives...............

These two shamelessly ripped off a lot of gullible people who thought their faith-based donations were going to something better than an air-conditioned dog house and hotel rooms so Jim could get his freak on with Jessica Hahn. I don't think God sent her cancer as payback because He doesn't work that way - but I think she might be kinda shocked regarding the free pass to heaven she smugly expected after she died.

#25 Fuck yourself. It is wrong to take advantage of someone simply because one can. You said everyone is responsible for their own actions - well, that includes being responsible for exploiting/cheating/manipulating someone just because you can.

The mentally challenged get off work at Goodwill at 5 p.m. - why don't you go down there and be a pickpocket? Be sure and tell them it's their fault.

that being said, I do think she knew on some level that it was wrong to be in the ministry and have 24kt plated faucets and an air-conditioned dog house no matter how huge her sense of entitlement was. I think she ended up being sorry for that but I wonder if she would have sorry if Jim never got caught.....

#16 and #21 are retards.

Since when is it a good thing to hold back from laughing about the death of someone evil?
Evangelists, nay, ALL promoters of religion should be made fools of in the most vicious and unrelenting way.
Fuck you for not having any guts you cunts.

People defend her as if she were some type of retarded innocent. She's neither. She stuck with Bakker not just during the PTL heyday, but 5 full years after the evidence of swindling was presented, railing with him against the "conspirators" looking to take them down (and ignoring the families they ruined). Then she divorced him and married Messner, who built churches for PTL and spent 2 years in jail on bankruptcy fraud charges. Women who smile sweetly and say "I guess I'm just attracted to the wrong type of guy!" should be shot. There's being taken advantage of, and then there's purposeful ignorance and avoidance. I know she didn't die of cancer of the guts because she never had any.

This is very sad. She battled this cancer for over 10 years before doctor's gave up on trying to treat it. My thoughts and prayers go out to her and her family at this time.

And shame on all of you who have said nasty things about her. Yeah, her husband ripped off thousands of people, but she was more a victim than anybody. I know she's in a better place now.

RIP Tammy Faye

Woodhorse, I think #25 was blasting Tammy Faye for being taken in by Jim Baker, not making fun of the thousands of people the two of them ripped off.

You may not like Tammy Faye and you may even hate her, but any form of cancer is a horrible way to die.

That does not mean that we should all come together and sing Kumbya for her or offer prayers for her after life, but suffering through any kind of cancer truly sucks. I know that at least a few of you have had cancer affect you first hand, so just try to be a little civil to someone who died in so much pain.

If it were Warren Zevon we were talking about her, not too many people would wish him to 'rot in hell'.

shame on those of you who are bashing this poor lady. have you even read anything that was written about her other than the tabloids, or seen anything about her that wasn't on Entertainment Tonight? she was a cool lady, a sweet generous soul. don't blame her for her ex-husband's bad deeds. despite all the shit she went through she managed to raise a couple kids who turned out to be really cool adults.

know a little something about the things you rant about before you open your fucking mouth.

Apologists. Fucking spineless losers. She did a few things ok in life so she's absolved from participating in a giant scam that ripped off thousands of families in God's name? Yeah right. Oh wait - she got cancer. Now she's a hero. Fucking weak-minded losers.

i hate when people say "have respect for the dead" why? they're fucking dead. plus respect needs to be earned & not by way of a Death Certificate.

rip

Gee, geuss the cancer diet didn't work out after all. Bummer.

"If it were Warren Zevon we were talking about " ...

...then none of this would apply. Only wives can play the gullible, innocent, manipulated, blameless fool. It doesn't work for husbands, because we assume that men are competent adults until proven otherwise. But some very traditional guys and some women - the ones who watch all the victim movies on the Lifetime channel - are very ready to believe that a wife could sit right next to her husband every day, at home and at work (remember, those two were together 24/7), and not have the slightest clue that something illegal was happening. Like innocent trusting little children. It seems like warm-heartedness ("after all, she had CANCER! MY GOD! CANCER! THE CHILDREN! I MEAN, THE CANCER!!!"), but actually it's treating women like children instead of adults (like men). That's especially well illustrated in Tammy Faye's life (hell, even in her childish name...). So thanks for doing your little part in holding us back!

A pair of stinking ugly creepy little thieves. Having said that, the people they swindled were fatassed moronic retards who richly deserved to be cheated of their money. Damn the USA was great in the 50's. And now it's just full of ugly, fat, stupid, repulsive idiots...

#44 - what does TFM mean? Thanks For Mascara?

ps. is that the movie poster for Gremlins 3?

Dumb-ass apologists! These two lived the lavish lifestyle of the rich and famous; Lear jets, private yachts, mansions, estates etc.

For selling gOd!! The very Babble they thumped warned against that lifestyle.

Try to follow along here....not everyone believes in your heaven/hell, your afterlife, your imaginary gawd or any other superstition thats part of organized religion.

Why not talk about her after her death??? The things said about her are all true. Oh, superstitious are you? Afraid your gawd will unleash a tsunami? Or a Katrina?

Dumbasses!

his son Jay is pretty cool, he's nothing like his parents. i wonder how he's taking this, since he was really close to his mom.

#66 Too fucking much if you ask me. She had cancer - yeah, it sucks. That doesn't cancel out what she did in actively swindling all those trusting idiots who were sucked in by her oh-I-just-like-to-be-glamourous-but-you-can-trust-me-Jesus-does jiffy-pop hair and make-up put on with a spackle trowel. And she never acknowledged what she did, she played the victim all the way down the line and rated at being persecuted like the Lord when she sure as hell was not.
When you're raising money for a Heritage USA, with a special house for crippled kid Little Davey - and none of it gets off the ground, but your dog house has air conditioning and you pocket $3.5MILLION, more than enough to build the place twice over, don't fucking tell me Jesus blinded you to what was going on. He'll be dealing with you later.

#59 Maybe you should read something other than Reader's Digest. Try a financial report or a court transcript.

#57 thanks
#58 actually, that's a terrific idea. let's all sing kumbaya - only sub in "kumbaya my wally" and end with TCLTC

I am truly grieved by the passing of this great woman of faith. However, I am trusting Jesis that he will take care of that cat, according to Leviticus 11:13.

Blessings,
Roberta

#37 I think you captured her charm exactly. She was the original wacky christian (OWC). I think her biggest flaw was that she didn't see how nasty the "christians" around her truly were. I'm not talking about the stealing. I think even the stupidest woman on earth would have noticed an extra 3.5 mil, I just mean that she was the only one of them that didn't spew hate 24/7, so I'm giving her credit for being a little wacky, a little greedy, but still a human being deep down. No one deserves to be compared to Falwell.

#64 Right On.

#74 I refuse to believe that this interpretation is the Lord's injuction telling us not to eat pussy.

I hate this woman. What a CON ARTIST. I found it very interesting that she stated that she was afraid to die. WTF. I thought she believed in God.

I guess she knew that she was going to Burn In Hell for all the money she stole from little old widows all over the world.

I would like to dance on her grave. Party ........ Party..........I'm goin' to a Party......

I only hope Jessica Hahn goes next. I saw her years ago at a Velvet Turtle restaurant in Thousand Oaks, CA. She was with her stupid rock star wantabe boyfriend. Both of them looked so disgusting, like they just came down from a heroin and snake sex binge. Her boyfriend kept making loud slurping noises all the time. It was as if they wanted everyone to look at them because no one was.

Actually, I think we should make Jessica Hahn a Saint for getting rid of these two for us. It takes a whore to know the other whores, and Jessica did the job.

is it me or does she look (not) surprisingly like the crypt keeper?

The world is suddenly a better place.

you all need to get over it, hardcore though. who cares. she lived. she died. get over it. your next. ; )

RIP Tammy Faye, RIP. I you had to put up with that much make-up AND Jimmy - you woul welcome the peace too!

#55 (Nancy) Very well said. I think those are the important facts, and although cancer is terrible, she not only was a thief, but used people's religion and the "love of God" to steal money. I'm not religious at all, but the amount of hypocrisy in that is disgusting.

#59 - shame on those of you who are bashing this poor lady. have you even read anything that was written about her other than the tabloids, or seen anything about her that wasn't on Entertainment Tonight? She was a really cool lady...She raised a couple kids who became really cool adults...

SHUT UP. SHUT THE FUCK UP.

LOL #77 - oh and #25, normally I would use the "A word" but all the apologist bashers up there would crucify me.

That poor woman. It's better off this way though, she was in so much pain.

I know we are not all perfect... and I know shes has had her past ..and her ex ..just gave her more to fight ..People always dresve a chance, and even though we dissagree with alot know one can really jugde but the lord..
I pray that She can finally rest inpeace ..
I know she is ina better place. so Miss Fye GodBless Hon ..and shine on inthe afterlife with the lord :)

everyone who has made fun of this poor woman's death should be ashamed. she endured a lot in her life-time and doesn't deserve to be disrespected. unlike most "christians" you see and hear on tv, Tammy Faye was the real deal and a true example of what a real Christian should be. She preached love and acceptance, not hatred and exculsion. May she rest in peace.

It's amazing people can make careers out of selling invisible probably non-existing products. Religion is big business...

I'm not sure that I always agree with the idea "Never speak ill of the dead." There are plenty of people I can think (historical/political/celebrity figures and personal acquaintances alike) whose ill-service to humanity lasts beyond death. To speak well of them seems hypocritical, and to say nothing might allow for their deeds to be exacerbated or repeated.

THAT SAID, I don't feel it applies to Tammy Faye. I do think that any part she may have had in the PTL scandal she paid for and more. She stayed strong, unbowed and she kept her sense of humor to the end. If some think she used people, well I think she was more bitterly used than she ever used anyone else. I hope she finds peace.

Tammy Faye did what exactly to repay all the millions? What restitution did she perform? None. They acted as though they were entitled to that rich and famous lifestyle, at other peoples expense. Until they were caught, of course. I suppose her pity party, tears ruining her mascara and make-up was how she "paid and more".
