My, oh my, oh my! I just had the most disturbing morning listening to your new Stars broadcast with your first interview, your daughter Alexis. May I respectfully ask that you do not have her on again unless she can treat you, her Mother and Benefactor, with more respect. How dare that young, spoiled, Mother treat you with such disdain! Her tone and attitude, though maybe she thought she was being cute, (which I doubt) was appalling. The business about the airplane return trip from Florida and the luggage had me screaming at the radio. I noticed you tried several times to defuse her attitude to no avail. She continued to belittle you and I was going nuts. I’m sure I wasn’t the only one. Good for her that she has two nannies and the money to buy from all those “upscale” and “European” clothing websites for a 1 and a 2 year old. I have sympathy for the fact that she is so overworked she doesn’t have “the time” or the inclination to “blog” anymore. What an attitude! Gee….life must be hard on her. She needs a reality check about who gave her the life she has and maybe a good spanking!
I absolutely agree with Linda’s post. Alexis was extremely rude to her mother. It wasn’t cute, it wasn’t funny. What a rude girl. Maybe Alexis thinks it’s great that she ‘tells it like it is’. That’s fine, but she can have a little respect and some manners. I don’t care how much Alexis makes or has, or if she can afford expensive clothing for her kids. Her manners and rudeness toward her mother made her look like a selfish and ignorant brat. Martha is her mother. Like her or dislike her, show her a bit of respect, especially on a talk show! Thank god I don’t know this Alexis girl in person. Perhaps someone needs to embarrass the hell out of her (in public!) in the same way that she was so disrespectful toward Her own mother. What a jerk.
I too was appalled at how utterly disrespectful and dismissive Alexis was to her mother. Her mother opened the show by telling us how we surely missed hearing Alexis on the radio but that couldn’t be further from the truth. I was so glad when I didn’t have to turn off the radio every time the show with Jennifer came on. Her voice grates on me as it screams “I’m so freakin’ bored with everything and everyone.” If her attitude disproved this, I might be able to tolerate her voice but it doesn’t and I prefer to listen to positive people who have something to share which makes this world a better place. Incessant whining and belittling those around you is NOT the voice or message I want to hear on a daily basis if ever. Alexis, you do not have a voice for radio, nor do you have the personality for it. Stay off the airwaves please and respect your mother who has worked very hard to have the life she lives and deserves. She deserves TONS of respect especially from you, her own flesh and blood whom she has raised up far higher on the social ladder than you’d have ever hoped to climb on your own.
I must tell you how disappointed I am with the change in xmradio broadcasting ..I have turned in several times to catch Martha’s new show on 107 , is not a station that I will be listening to. Sadly 110 was a constant in my car and no matter what the program it was interesting, I may not have always agreed with the host but can say I never found it offensive. When I’m listening to the radio while driving I’m looking for relaxation not to her an adult daughter being disrespectful to her mother, I did not hear the broadcast with Martha and her daughter but I can only imagine from what I’ve read here from other listeners that it was anything but enjoyable. I’m hoping somehow my voice will be heard that this change was not a good change and not what the listeners wanted.
