Olivia Newton-John Gets Mail From Dead People

Filed under: Wacky, Tacky & True > Australiastic

wenn-ooalive.jpg

In 2005, Olivia Newton-John found herself heartbroken when her lover, Patrick McDermott, disappeared while on a fishing trip. Presumed dead all these years, it has now come to light that in fact, he is alive!

Officials hired to investigate exactly what had happened to Patrick claim they have received a fax letter sent on his behalf from Mexico, where he is alive and well!

The story goes that Patrick faked his death in order to escape his problems and for the last four years has been working as a deckhand in small Mexican village. He obtained a second passport and cleared out his life savings in order to make the transition. This most recent fax is actually sent from a person claiming to represent the former cameraman:

"Pat has asked that I portray to you his innocence. Pat has committed no crime. Pat simply wishes to be left alone. Let him live his life in peace and harmony. He is safe and has started anew again in a new place both physically and mentally. Stop this search immediately."

We find this to be fairly insensitive and completely creepy.

How could he do that to her?

Stay in Mexico, you bum! Everyone is better off without you!

    That's just wrong! :[



  6. 6

    He's committed no crime except for being a completely irresponsible douchbag! What a low-life piece of shit. Grow a pair and deal with your problems like everyone else, idiot!



  7. 7

    What a horrible man to put a lovely woman through that! Better off lost and she is better off without him. That is for certain.



  8. 8

    re-make of Zanado!!!!!!!!



  9. 9

  11. 11

    it's pretty official that this guy is nuts



  12. 12

    soooo old.



  13. 13

    more importantly, how can he do that to his kid.



  14. 14

    Mario you should try this………….. :o )



  15. 15

    poor her :( …is an REALLY BIG ASS!



  16. 16

    Wow. And I thought my ex was an asshole. Yikes.



  17. 17

    WHAT AN IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :P



  18. 18

    It cost a lot of money to send an investigation about someone lost and therefore what he did should be considered a crime. Not dead? No, but in prison. Yes!



  19. 19

    Yup, I remember when this was happening. I felt so bad for Olivia. Glad she moved on.



  20. 20

    i say lets get him!

    I wonder if he's related to Dean McDermott. Yes, he's a creep. He put her through a lot of pain and worry. That's how cowardly men break up with someone, they fake their death, move to Mexico and become a slave. How much does a Mexican deckhand get paid ? A taco a day ?



  22. 22

    Honestly I don't believe that fax - hmm does someone get a bonus if this dude is found? Seriously a fax - unless it included a pic with it I am not buying it - in fact I think he just fell off the boat initally and somone is playing cover up for liability sake- if true well yes I agree burn in Mexico and add some extra hot chilly peppers to that burn!



  23. 23

    He didn't write that and didn't tell anyone else to. no way



  24. 24

    they were actually seperated at the time he did this and it is the best thing for her. she has met a man 10 times better! he should have to face up for what he has done! hoplessly devoted to ONJ!



  25. 25

    I saw Patrick 2 weeks ago in the Romantic Zone in Puerto Vallarta. He was only wearing shorts and walking out of a little store with a plastic cup of beer. He said "Cheers!" as we passed. He is most definitely alive.

    Poor Olivia! She's such a lovely lady and she deserved so much better!



  27. 27

    The hell with Olivia…what about the kid he's bailed on, and all of the child support he owes his ex (actress Yvette Nipar)?

    This guy should be brought back and tossed in the pen!



  28. 28

    what makes you think that fax was legit? perez, were you in mexico recently?



  29. 29

    I believe there was also a videotape of him living a whole different life in Mexico that an investigator captured.



  30. 30

    Oh, brother. No balls.



  31. 31

    Total Douche



  32. 32

    what an effing bastard. hey loser, deal with your problems just like the rest of us do!



  33. 33

    god he is sooooooo good LOOKING!!!!!

    to the poster who said he committed no crime, not sure, because he owes money in back child support. If someone had collected on life insurance, that would have been a crime (faking one's death, although he didn't actually specifically do that).

    i could see fleeing Olivia. But leaving your kid, not cool.

    And did I mention…he is soooooo GOOD LOOKING!!!!!!??? swoon



  34. 34

    receiving a typed fax would not convince me that someone presumed dead was actually really alive. I sincerely doubt that fax came from that guy. Whomever killed him is probably who really sent it.



  35. 35

    stay in mexico?????? no fuckin way. i say yank his dirty ass back here and make him suffer in jail for every one that he has hurt in the process and pay back all the money he owes. and then some.



  36. 36

    PLEASE, PEOPLE! HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU WISHED YOU COULD JUST LEAVE ALL THE MADNESS BEHIND AND START OVER? WELL..HE ACTUALLY DID IT. WE DON'T KNOW THE WHOLE FUCKING STORY, WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THEIR MARRIAGE WAS LIKE OR WHAT ELSE WAS GOING ON. WE DON'T EVEN KNOW MUCH ABOUT THE KID. HE IS PROBABLY MUCH HAPPIER NOW AND SHE HAS RECUPERATED. AFTER SOME THERAPY, THE CHILD MAY BE FINE, AS WELL.



  37. 37

    Damn he could have at least said good-bye to her. Have a nice life!



  38. 38

    IM HOPELESSLY DEVOTED TO YOU!!!
    may i say that i loved her in grease! :D



  39. 39

    IF he is alive what's the betting Olivia NJ knew all along, before he "vanished" in fact…….?



  40. 40

    Real death - fake story, if ya ask me. Completely fishy, ha ha.



  41. 41

    Actually he could've committed a crime if any kind of money was paid out in life insurance or other death benefits. It's considered fraud.



  42. 42

    WHAT A DICK!!!!!!



  43. 43

    are you kidding me?! DEAL WITH YOUR PROBLEMS LIKE ANYONE ELSE YOU DOUCHE! HE HAD A KID & A WIFE !! WTF IS WRONG WITH HIM?! BESIDES, DISSAPEARED IN A FISHING TRIP? LAAAAAME



  44. 44

    "Do this to Her"! I believe she has been aware of his
    games all along.

    The Miss.



  45. 45

    that is so messed up!!
