I am surprised I got an e-mail back from her. I was wondering if anyone else e-mailed her and got the same response. Disappointed in her response really but here it is:
Thank you for your email on behalf of Nelson Branco's recent Twitter comments. TV Guide Canada is disappointed by Mr. Branco's recent behaviour, and his comments do not reflect TV Guide Canada's views.
As a result of his poor judgment, Mr. Branco has deleted his TV Guide related twitter account, @SudsReport, and any future commentary or views under any unrelated accounts he may or may not create should be considered strictly his own.
Mr. Branco has been a valued contributor to TV Guide Canada's soaps and primetime pages for over four years, and he continues to be one of the sole advocators in this dying industry.
He will continue contributing to TV Guide Canada, and work with his editors to provide insightful and unprecedented coverage of the soaps industry both on screen and behind the scenes.
Thank you for taking the time to write to us.
Sincerely,
Amber Dowling
Editor in Chief
Tv Guide Canada
BTW, Nelson did not acknowledge what he did this weekend on twitter in his column today.
According to former DOOL and Y&R writer, Tom Casiello, "someone" which is safe to assume is Nelson, sent him a threatening email Sunday night because of his tweets about Nelson, and for Tom retweeting and responding to @F_Nelson_Branco, a parody Nelson twitter account. So, it's ok for Nelson to call Kristian Alfonso "anorexic" "a bitch" "hair model" "bad actress" and for insinuating that Kristian got actors fired on Days of our Lives. So I guess "free speech" only applies to Nelson, and not anyone who speaks truthfully about him.
Oh em gee! Well... All I can say is...I doubt he's learned a lesson other than watch what and how you say things about people.
ReplyDeleteSo that's it? Is there a chance the douchebag's editor could change her mind if people keep up the pressure?
ReplyDeleteI replied to her email. I told her that if TV Giide Canada does not approve of NBs tweets, they should remove his Summer Preview article due to the Hope eats a cheeseburger comment. I made it vey clear that NBs cheeseburger comment was nothing but a "safe" way to say "What Days actress is anorexic? And a @@@@@."
ReplyDeleteThe editor is also a douchebag.
ReplyDeleteI guess this proves that the soap press can act like a bunch of dumbasses and get away with it. What a pity!?
ReplyDeleteBy all means, go ahead and email her.
ReplyDeleteWow. The Summer Predictions article has been moved to the top of the page...
ReplyDeleteYeah, I have to agree with the person who said the editors a douche bag too.
Why would they fire someone who is increasing the number of hits to the tv guide Canada website ($$$$) and giving them free publicity? Angry fans, nasty blog posts & tweets has only solidified his current position and gave free publicity to DAYS. The majority of the time the media and publicists play the fans/readers like violins and damn it worked better than they could have ever imagined.
ReplyDeleteOh please. Talk about spin!
ReplyDeleteHe's a lawsuit waiting to happen. I will bet he will have a hard time getting DOOL interviews after this.
I seriously doubt KA, CC, PR, and DOOL wanted this type of publicity.
