Balloon Boy's Family Was Homeless!

Filed under: Sad Sad

shelter.jpg

We'll this explains their mediawhoring, get rich quick mentality!

According to a former client of Mayumi Heene (aka Balloon Boy's shameless mom), Sunda Croonquist reveals that the family were until recently inhabiting a work studio.

She never noticed that the two of them lived there, but when the children were born, she noticed the conditions worsen.

Apparently, they "were living in conditions that were not acceptable" especially for children. They lived in squalor and "slept on the floor or couches" in a space that did not have a bathroom.

Croonquist continued to say that it "wasn't a home," there was "no cleanliness" and the place "was a mess".

Also, Mayumi worked so hard to make ends meat that she returned to work just two days after giving birth.

And was Mr. Heene too busy in jail?!

    …"Up, Up and Away!"

    It's "MEET", not "MEAT" YOU IDIOT!! MEAT is something you EAT or BEAT! There's this thing called 'spell check', try using it once in a while!!



  3. 3

    Hey fatso, it's 'meet' not 'meat' It's 9am and you already have a juciy porterhouse on your mind



  4. 4

    Who cares? We're sick of hearing about these people. They mean nothing in the grand scheme of life.

    Put the kids where they will be taken care of. And be done with it. The parents are obviously both half crazy.



  5. 5

    "We'll this explains…"
    And that's the quality writing that keeps us all coming back here, you flopping land-whale.



  6. 6

    Making ends MEET, not "meat"! Golly, Perez!

    I feel so sorry for these kids. They would have been better off if they all climbed in the balloon and floated away from that crazy freak of a dad forever.



  7. 7

    "worked so hard to make ends meat"
    I missed that one the first time, you inbred morons. Could you idiots get someone who rides a regular-length bus to do a story once in a while?



  8. 8

    all recent incidents aside….so what.. they went through hard times at one point.. who hasn't?? looks like they've come a long way..



  9. 9

    make ends "meat"?????



  10. 10

    There are so many freaking typos and grammatical errors in this article it's embarrassing. Come on Perez, take a minute to proof read your posts before you submit them.



  11. 11

    MAKE ENDS "MEAT?" They may be homeless and hoaxsters - but I bet they can fucking SPELL!



  12. 12

    "make ends meat"?…. good one perez



  13. 13

    "To make ends meat?" Did you mean "ends meet?" Seriously….does a 10 year old write this site?



  14. 14

    i feel bad for Mayumi . . . she should ditch the famewhoring dad and find a new man :P
    the dad can start a famewhore dad retreat with michael lohan, mitch winehouse, peter andre and john gosselin lol



  15. 15

    hahahah m e a t - maybe it's an obscure reference to selling anal pleasures in order to pay the bills



  16. 16

    Uh…she's not shameless (the mother) she's from another culture and can barely speak english so likely she just defer's to what her husband wants…especially if reports of her being smacked around are true and if he is that much of a tyrant. Sad, Sad? Rip them apart one minute and say you feel for them or that it is sad another minute? Please. You're as much a media whore as anyone Ms. P. Oh, and they are truly a screwed up, unconventional family but the ones I am concerned about are the kids. And the mother if she is indeed just doing what hubby wants/dictates.



  17. 17

    "ends meat?" That's what they make hot dogs out of, right?



  18. 18

    Meet not MEAT.. come on… You know better than that.



  19. 19

    ends MEET — God you are stupid. You have no spelling ability nor use of the English language probably because you didn't even pass the grades in an English speaking school. How did you get this job???!?



  20. 20

    Maybe if Mr. Heene would get a fucking JOB, they wouldn't have had this issue.



  21. 21

    Its "MEET". Whoever has been running this blog for the past few months cannot spell worth shit!!!!



  22. 22

    It's "m-e-e-t" NOT "meat"



  23. 23

    so hard to make ends meat

    Meat.. what steak, liver, lamb chops. mince meat, burger meat?

    Get an education dickface



  24. 24

    She was working hard to make ends MEAT??? WTF???
    *
    Was she working in a deli? Was she working in a butcher shop? Maybe she was working on a cattle ranch?
    *
    MEAT? Barb hun, I never thought this was possible but you are at least 10 times more stupid than that fvcking moron brother of yours. MEAT???
    *
    Jesus girl, give it up and go get that G.E.D.



  25. 25

    sad



  26. 26

    Damn, I don't mean to be the spelling police on your site, but really, make ends "meat". Who writes this stuff? Six-year-olds in China? Oh wait, even they would know the difference between "meat" and meet". It just makes your site look so stupid.



  27. 27

    When are you going to take some pride in your WRITING and proofread your shiz before posting? MEET not MEAT. COME ON!



  28. 28

    srsly Perez, teach your ghost writer some editing skills.



  29. 29

    Re: playergnslngr – I don't see how spell check would have helped. It's his word usage that's wrong, not the spelling YOU IDIOT. There's this thing called "common sense," try using it once in a while!!



  30. 30

    Perez, i don't know who is writing up these articles, but you have to tell them to write well. Read this post and you will see that they used MEAT instead of MEET…and WE'LL instead of WELL……its just annoying…



  31. 31

    Dumbass!! "Ends MEAT"?! Really?! Um…it's "ends meet"… She wasn't making MEAT… Who the hell types for you?!



  32. 32

    That's really sad. …meat lol



  33. 33

    How many times are people going to correct the meat thing? Did you all post at the exact same time or something?



  34. 34

    Can someone on your staff please learn to spell? "…make ends meat…" just pushed me over the edge and that's not the only error. Please!



  35. 35

    Worked hard to make ends "meat", huh Perez? Idiot.



  36. 36

    TBH i always thought it was the father in the wrong because Mayumi is so quiet i feel sorry for her

  37. chlyn says – reply to this


    37

    Crossed my mind that they were just squatting there because they were too cheap to rent a place.



  38. 38

    Who gives a fuck abot this fake ass balloon boy story



  39. 39

    I do kinda feel a bit sorry for these folk(the kids especially),as idiotic as the scheme was- obviously they are troubled.



  40. 40

    Asian people love to live 10 in one room and they are happy like that and the crazy dad is just a loser!



  41. 41

    Also, Mayumi worked so hard to make ends meat that she returned to work just two days after giving birth.
    .
    spelling correction, meet not meat



  42. 42

    God, learn how to spell, Perez's employees, please!



  43. 43

    Please learn to spell!!! Or should I say use the correct grammar—"to make ends MEET not MEAT!! I know spell check doesn't correct these kinds of errors.



  44. 44

    Enough with the balloon boy story. I think you have done considerable coverage and the media has caused damage already. Whether the family did it for selfish reasons or what not, they might have learned from it.

    Please, just stop.



  45. 45

    How do you make ends meat? Usually people make ends 'meet'…but what do I know…
