I expected this attack on us long ago. No way is this about Jackie
being Gay. Have you actually read the posts? It is about behavior.
Very Bad Behavior. Very bad Jackie Warner Behavior towards a
paying client and an employee. Jackie Warner is acting like a Tyrant.
This entire third season has been a nightmare. I am so sad about this
as well as Angry. I loved this show. I loved Rebecca and Jackie. I
was first sickened by Jackie's behavior towards Rebecca. I felt even
sicker when Jackie first intruded on Erika and Rebecca's boot camp on
the cruise and then shocked once more when Jackie outted Erica's
bulimia issue. Has Jackie Warner NO BOUNDARIES???? Then the
absolute outrage. Jackie Warner fires Brian Peeler because he wishes
to speak to her about how she disrespected his client. What kind
of sic monster have we the fans created? Then I was deeply saddened
when Jackie Warner denied saying anything about the paying client
whose name my shock and sadness at your accusations made me blank
at this very moment. How can anyone read our messages and then
conclude we dislike Jackie because she is a Lesbian. How absurd. It
is bad enough that Jackie is behaving so meanly to people. Now the
fans who are angry because of her behavior are being accused of
being anti Gay. How dare you?

This is from another GAY blog! I can't take credit for it but just wanted you all to know that not all us fags are having twisted hissy fits about Work Out. I agree with everything he says! You're just a bunch of hypocrites!
Daniel said... Self-righteous, ignorant, hypocritical, and bigoted straight people are out in force to destroy Jackie Warner. They will say this has nothing to do with Jackie being a lesbian but it has everything to do with it. There is a pattern of straight people bullying lesbians into submission when they do not like what they have done. Remember when Ellen came out in 1998. Straight people tried to force sponsors to abandon her show and get her off the air. Remember when Rosie was on the View. Straight people tried to force sponsors to abandon that show and force her off the air. Now you have this situation with Jackie. Once again they are trying to bully a lesbian.
Where was the outrage when Jonathan Antin screamed at his employees on Blow Out? Oh, he's straight so that's ok. Where was the outrage when [expletive deleted] on Big Brother 8 made derogatory comments about women and gay people and pored water over a female contestant? I could go on and on but it doesn't matter because straight people have selective outrage.
Straight people have been gay people's long time oppressors. For thousands upon thousands of years they bullied gay people into pretending to be straight or else face a severe reaction. Look at this study to see the viewpoints and tactics straight people have used against gay people in order to get their way:
http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m229...une/ai_66011966Straight people can't stand that a lesbian asserted herself and told a straight male to get out of her office or else she would fire him. Brian Peeler from day one argued with Jackie and tried to undermine her authority. Should anyone be surprised? No. Straight males are highly disagreeable. That's why they argue and cause violence. I warned Jackie about Greg Plitt. He is headed down the same road Brian already did. Greg Plitt has already questioned Jackie several times. He stayed with Brian during the mud run not because he was trying to be nice because he didn't want to run with the gay men and that's why he didn't go on the bus ride with Sky Sport to the resort this last episode. Greg Plitt is avoiding being near the gay trainers. Military people tend to be anti-gay so it's no surprise. He like Brian are only on the show to further their acting careers.
In light of Brian Peeler's derogatory comments about Jackie's gender (calling her a [expletive deleted]) and gender expression (saying he wanted to fight her like a man etc.) here are a few studies on the reactions of people to women in leadership positions and those with "masculine" tendencies. You will see that his reaction match up with the prejudicial ones in these studies.

Here is a study that shows people like women significantly less when they become successful in a male-dominated job.
http://psycnet.apa.org/index.cfm?fa=main.d...=2004-95165-003There are a lot of straight people saying they will watch a show by Brian Peeler. Bull. They said this same thing after Rosie left The View. And what happened there; the ratings plummeted after Rosie left. These people might get their chance to put their remote where their mouth is. Brian Peeler announced that he has been developing a pilot for over a year now. I wondered why he always wanted to be on camera…
Keep going Jackie! Don't let the bigots get you down.
