Adrianne Curry's "Controversial" Comments About Hurricane Ike
Filed under: When Celebrities Blog > Adrianne Curry
Here's something to chew on!
Adrianne Curry just posted the following on her official blog:
"September 14, 2008 - Sunday
Hurricane Victims pay for their own rescues?
Current mood: aggravated
I am sorry, but I believe all these people should have to pay the bill for their individual rescues! When they issue a "certain death" warning and you are fucking dumb enough to stay, you do not deserve free aid. I watched people being interviewed on the news claiming they bought a bunch of beer and BBQ to sit through the storm. I bet these same people are crying for help as I type. This is fucking stupid! Why should we have to foot a dime for these dumbasses that ignored these warnings?
FREE transportaion was provided, many buses left half empty. FREE shelters were provided, many not filled up. People value MONEY and POSESSIONS more than their own lives? IDIOTS!
I feel like we reward stupidity in this country, and this is the perfect example of it. What do you guys think?
edited note:: I never said they should DIE, I said if they value their MONEY and POSSESSIONS more thn their own LIVES they should have to pay for endangering the lives of rescue workers, and sucking up more money this government DOESN'T have. someone claimed they didnt want to lose their job…I wasn't aware the bank was open that day!"

If it really is a case where the people had been warned, had a chance to leave, and yet chose to ride out the storm… hell yeah, they should be liable for the tax payer-funded resources used to rescue them…
.
The problem is, it's not realistic for rescuers to go up to a couple hanging for dear life onto a detached stair case in the middle of a storm surge and say "Did you have a chance to leave but stayed anyway?".. those people should be rescued — but, then, what does the State do? How do you itemize that biz? Decent idea Adrianne — just not pragmatic.
she's mostly right
Re: cali vilano – By your comment I am assuming that you do not live in a state that has ever been hit by a hurricane. Although the storm was a category 2 it had the impact of a 3-4 so not it is not a huge difference. The residents of Houston were told to stay put only after it was too late to leave. EVERYONE who was expected to be in the storms path was told to leave. Many waited around thinking it wasn’t going to be too bad, there have been several storms that people evacuated for only to find out that it wasn’t anything compared to what the media was making it out to be. I watched the television all day listening to news of the storm, government officials were telling their residents to leave, guess you didn’t hear that part. And yes Houston is inland that doesn’t mean however that Ike was not going to hit and do major damage. Houston is known for it’s traffic but the traffic was nothing compared to Rita, people could have gotten out of harms way yet they didn’t. Why can people not pick up and leave if it means that their lives are in danger. There were busses to get people out, why stay? It is obvious that you do not know enough about this subject to put your two cents in. Don’t believe all that you read about what happened.
i agree, my mother was one of those people that refused to leave, and i disagreed. thank god nothing happened to them, but why have to go through that. better safe than sorry.
and if you choose to go left when everyone says go right, you can't later complain because all you will get is "i told you so"
Unfortunately, she's right. Thank God it wasn't a whole lot worse. I dig my house and all, but I like my life a whole lot more.
Honest question here. For those who live in areas where evacuation notices are given a few times per year: If you dislike having to evacuate so much, what motivates you to want to live in an area like that? I mean no disrespect. I honetsly don't understand why you want to live there year after year. Every area of the world comes with pros and cons. If, for me, the cons of an area included performing evacuations due to potentially life-threatening weather, and I were vehemently against those evacuations, I would look into moving away from that region rather than insist on going against the evacuations.
I couldn't care less about Adrianna Curry as a "celebrity", however I completely agree with her comments. The message could not have been clearer to those in the past of Ike's destruction.
Couldn't agree more with Adrienne! How DARE people choose not to leave and then have the audacity to call during the hurricane and ask first responders to risk their lives to come save them?
i TOTALLY AGREE! yea its harsh but they had every chance to leave… if you tell me there is an ax murderer in the house im gonna fucking run right? why on earth did they stay when they were told it was a KILLER storm???? thats just plain stupid
Re: wifey #11 – Let's talk about priorities here. If you put your pets before your own health, the health of your relatives and children, then there is something seriously wrong with you. Also, there are special pet shelters set up by Red Cross. I'm not a 100% sure that they were available around Houston/Galveston at that time, but I'm going to guess that if they have them in random places in VA, they would have them there. Yes, losing a dog is a terrible thing to go through, but comparing it to losing your own relatives? Come on. That is not a valid argument at ALL.
She makes a point, but one thing that she says irritates me. She says the reason that some people stayed is because they value money and possessions. But, if we make people pay to be rescued, aren't we valuing money more than good deeds? Are we no better than them that we're criticizing them for valuing money and yet we expect a monetary reward for saving them? Sure, some people made the dumb mistake of staying and trying to ride out the storm. But, haven't they suffered enough hardship from the hurricane to earn being rescued? Why not just rescue these people out of the goodness of our hearts? Who are we to judge who deserves being rescued and who doesn't? I just wish people would be more compassionate. There are people suffering in Houston and Galveston and whether or not they decided to stay, they need help. And yet all anyone can think about is money. This is ridiculous. What happened to doing things because its the right thing to do?
She is a total idiot, as is anyone that agrees with her. People react irrationally when faced with the possibility of losing everything in a natural disaster. Some people, due to their financial status, are overwhelmed at the prospect of leaving their entire lives behind. They shouldn't be penalized by being deprived of aid. This idiot should stick to what she does best….being kicked off Top Model and dating B-list celebrities. Good grief!?!?!?
she is right. think about it. if they were offered the free help then they should have taken it. its crazy to think that they wanted to stay after all the warnings. I live in richmond texas, we didn't have the mandatory evacuation but I wish we did leave because it was still bad. No damage here, only power out for 2 days. people are stupid and crazy thats why they stayed. putting their life and their families life in danger is irresponsible and just plain old STUPID— they should pay for their own rescue!
SORRY ABOUT THE ALL CAPS BUT I FEEL LIKE PEOPLE NEED TO SEE THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS SINCE SO MANY PEOPLE ARE AGREEING WITH HER. MY BIGGEST PROBLEM WITH THE LOGIC THAT MANY OF PEOPLE WHO AGREE WITH HER IS THE "VALUING POSSESSIONS AND MONEY OVER LIFE OR HEALTH". WELL, IF WE MAKE PEOPLE PAY TO BE SAVED, THEN ARE WE NOT VALUING MONEY AND POSSESSIONS MORE THAN SAVING A LIFE?? HOW CAN WE CRITICIZE THEM WHEN OUR MOTIVES ARE THE SAME? WHY CAN'T WE JUST BE THE BETTER PEOPLE AND RESCUE THEM? ISN'T THE FACT THAT THEY ARE IN SO MUCH TROUBLE THAT THEY NEED TO BE RESCUED ENOUGH OF A LESSON FOR STAYING? SERIOUSLY. THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE SUFFERING AND YET ALL WE CAN THINK OF IS MONEY??? HOW PATHETIC HAVE WE BECOME?
Re: 29 – First of all, the cussing isn't necessary. Caps will do. Second, if you put material possessions before your OWN LIFE then you are an IDIOT. So what if you own a nice car and a nice house, to which you have put your entire life savings. You get a warning, pack up and leave for a couple of days. You come back, the house is fine : YAY.
However, in this case, the house was NOT FINE. It was flooded, damaged, or even destroyed. THERE IS NOTHING THAT YOU CAN DO except NOT BE IN THE FREAKING HOUSE. Do you think that they should have stayed and tried to protect their house with their own bodies? Because that's what I would call 'impossible.' Also 'moronic.' No offense, but try to think through your arguments in case they don't make any sense at all.
Re: SnakePlissken – but staying in the wake of a hurricane…that's not stupidity? You're the stupid one.
ok ok so she sounded like a cold-hearted bitch but uh… it's kind of true! I mean they were giving warnings WAY far in advance. When the So CAL fires were happening my neighborhood was evacuated and me and my family got the hell out of there. It's like HELLO?! do you not want to live or what. Staying behind is not going to make the storm pass by your house, so you might as well comply and not risk others (rescue crews) getting killed.
Re: ewtewt – Alright, calling about 85% of the people here idiots seems kind of unnecessary. Think about it… if the majority thinks so… there must be some kind of point here. Also, I feel like everyone is missing the point here: Adrianne concentrated on those people who bought GRILL SUPPLIES and BEER.
…
Please, try to justify that for me without sounding like a moron.
I CANT STAND ADRIANNE BUT FOR ONCE I AGREE WITH HER IF YOU KNOW THERE IS A STORM COMING AND HAVE BEEN WARNED THAT IS DEADLY
THEN GET THE HELL OUT OF THERE DONT STAY PUT AND PUT YOUR OWN LIFE AS WELL AS THE RESCUE PEOPLE'S LIFE'S IN DANGER
Wow. I'm from Orange which is about ten minutes away from Bridge City–one of the cities that was destroyed the most in Southeast Texas.
Yes there were some dumbass people who left simply because they didn't think it was going to be THAT bad. Ever since Hurricane Rita and Hurricane Katrina there's been so much hype in the SETexas area that people freak out about it 24/7. Basically, the word hurricane is in everyday conversation.
However, there were some people who didn't have the money to evacuate. It costs a crapload to evacuate. Gas, food (yes people need to provide themselves up to 5-10 days worth of food because some shelters couldn't provide it!), basic toiletries and necessities.
Adrianne Curry as well as many other Americans cannot really grasp the concept of evacuating until they've experienced it. That's all I'm saying.
Re: ScarletMiiks – Yeah, she's may be only referring to those who bought grills and beer but why do we have to fine everyone? How are we supposed to separate those who bought grills and beer and those who genuinely had no way of leaving? Sure, people are saying "there were free buses, shelters" and the like but I'm sure that there were some people who genuinely had no way of evacuating. Why punish those who were not at fault? Why are we thinking about money when there are people who are suffering, regardless of their decision whether or not to stay.
Re: hearay1010 –
thank you, finally somebody makes sense. not only were Galvestonians told to leave, everybody else was said to stay. "Hide from the Wind" is what Bill White stated. But what truly made this hurricane worse than the others was the storm surge pre-landfall. Bayous and the seawall were already filled to the max BEFORE the storm hit, which it had never happened before.
But to everybody comparing hurricanes to forest fires and tornados and all that, that doesn't matter. All things are relative, until i experience a blizzard, i am in no place to talk about a blizzard and vice-a-versa for a hurricane. This was not fun. choices had to be made, whether we believe them to be wrong, those people stayed for a reason, and instead of insulting them for making those choices, let's pray for their survival. WE ARE SPENDING BILLIONS OF DOLLARS PER WEEK FOR A POINTLESS WAR, WHAT'S ANOTHER (maybe) BILLION TO HELP OUT A FELLOW AMERICAN??
She is the idiot… she only sees what the media shows… of course they want to show these people… but what America doesnt see is the preparing that you have to do save a lifetime of memories in such a short few days then have to leave your HOME and LIFE behind and pray that its all in one piece when you come home… the stress that you have to endure… the weeks you go without power… the days of work you miss… the family and friends you have to be separated from… yes those people who dont leave are taking a risk but sometimes its just so hard to leave after you do it so many times… the media doesnt show that but i would love to show her what its like… im not complaining or crying for help because i love Louisiana and i wouldnt move for anything… its a choice i make to live here and go through this every hurricane season… there is nothing like Saturday nights in Tiger Stadium and Sundays at the Dome watching the Saint play then heading to the Quarter for a night of good times… if you get a chance come visit us! but maybe ms. adrianne should just stick to doing what shes good at… nothing…
I agree with her. Would I want to leave my home? No, but when the warnings are that dire, I love myself more than my home. I heard a lady being interviewed on Galveston Island, before Ike hit & she said she didn't leave because she didn't want to have to sit in traffic. I wonder if that same lady even made it through the storm. When you have means & things are available to leave, then you should do so. I think it's extremely selfish not too.
Re: sssssteph – your obvious ignorant and stupid because those words both mean the same thing and you used the almost consecutively. Your probably 12 years old and have never paid taxes shes 100% right. GET THE FUCK OUT IF YOU KNOW A FUCKING HURRICANE IS COMING TO DESTROY YOUR TOWN. (OH AND YES I DO KNOW).
and.. plus. everybody on the OUTSIDE is telling us what they saw on the news. Ever get it through ur heads that that is what the media wants u to think and how they use certain interviews and pictures to influence their audience? now i am a born and raised houstonian and i agree that those fuckups that wanted to get wasted and go surfing and all that shit shouldnt get help, but when those waters were rising faster than anybody predicted (bet u didn't see that part on the WEATHER CHANNEL), a full 16 hours before the storm, with a large percentage of the population living, with oalready a dozen blocked roads, how do u propose to get the people who want to, but can't afford it, off the island? ANSWER ME THAT!! THEN COME DOWN HERE AND ASSESS THE DAMAGE.! then i give u permission to talk to me about the hell we're going through down here.
Re: ohjustshutup – Because there's a hurricane season…its not like all year long we have to worry about hurricanes. Galveston is a great place to live. Living anywhere along the coast is very peaceful, laid back, just a different kind of life from big city living or even country living. Its where people consider home. Every city in every state faces potential for natural disaster. Its not that the people are on hear crying "whoa is me"…they are simply saying, if you've never been there then don't be so quick to try and understand or pass judgement.
I used to live in Texas and have been through at least 4 hurricanes. I also worked as an EMT. I think she is right. You should have fined if you have to be rescued after ignoring an evacuation warning. The emergency personnel are putting their lives in jeopardy rescuing these idiots. And yes, they are idiots.
well the HUGE difference between "IKE and KATRINA" was that in "katrina", there was no help… warnings were issued but we didn't really have the means of transportation to leave, no money, no destination and no clue… we were basically left to die. And besides the point that's exactly why kanye said bush doesn't care about blacks…
i completely agree with her. if people were told repeatedly that they are more than likely to die if they stay in where they are, they are provided with free transportation and housing etc, and they still don't leave, tehn they are idiots and are selfish to be taking up money from people in this country who could actually use it. like, couldn't the education system use that money instead of a bunch of stubborn rednecks
even though she sounds like a complete bitch, what she said is kind of true…
Re: Renfamous –
Hey you dumb ass motherfucker.. Bush was born in Connecticut!!!! Do your fucking research you piece of shit! Not all Texans are republican, you ignorant fuckface. This is nothing deserved and if your family was apart of this, you would feel the pain too. Then again, someone who can say what you said…. was born without a moral compass so fuck you and the fucking horse you rode in on!
As much as i hate to admit…I have to agree with her.
I don't see the point in shelling out OUR tax money for people that are too stupid to ignore warnings, the warnings are there for a reason, the evacuation is there for reason, if they're too dumb enough then i say let them enjoy their bbq and beer and storm on their own accord WITHOUT our tax money coming in to save their dumbass
i think she should shut the F UP!
She's 100% right. Our tax money is spent saving these people who were told to leave and given plenty of warning and opportunity. I've been saying the same thing for a while. Same thing with people who go hiking in the mountains or sailing around in their yachts and need to be rescued. Thousands of dollars are spent and many rescue workers have been injured or killed saving people who knowingly put themselves in danger. They should be charged for their rescue.
Re: sssssteph –
What a moron you are. Congrats.
I tend to agree with her.
sometimes she doesn't think things through. A huge percentage of people who died in Katrina were senior citizens. They are not that mobile, they are poor, they sometimes have pets, and their homes are ALL in this world that they have. Many, many of them don't have a way out or a place to stay comfortably once they get out. My heart breaks for them, and for those that evac-ed during Gustav, and then couldn't afford to do it again so soon. People NEED TO STOP JUDGING THESE PEOPLE. If they were rich, they might live somewhere else. It's an awful gamble every time, go or stay, go or stay. Sometimes you go and nothing happens and you lost all that time and money. Then the next time, you stay, and it's the big one. STFU anyone who judges people like this.
Proof positive… it's called "DOPE" for a reason!!!!!!!!!
Who in their right (sober) mind would say something like this let alone put it out there for the whole world to see?!? Shame on you Adrianne.
she's such a douchebag! i'm here in houston and we just got power back at my home and i know there are still many many others without. unless you are in this situation, you cannot say what you would or wouldn't do. there are so many more things other than money involved in this situation. have a little compassion. stop being shitty just for attention. it's completely unattractive. fucking cow!
looks like adrianne hasnt had enough attention lately and just wants to stir up some controversy
I have to say that to read the comments from her, and from American citizens below I'm shocked that anyone could be brutal to people in a time of need. Being a TX citizen, and after have lost half of our house on Crystal Beach due to a boat crashing into the side of our home, I must say to anyone that does not live here, you cannot fathom the pain we are dealing with at this time. Yes Ike was considered a "Certain Death" hurricane, but that headline was not announced on TV until the TX coast was being slammed with 17 ft. waves. I was sitting in a hotel in College Station, TX watching our homes being ripped apart just like the rest of you (if any) were and those allegations of it being a life or death hurricane was not shown until late in the evening. No one, not even the weather channel could predict exactly what was going to happen to us.
Oye Vey Jan Wicked…start a fucking revolution of bullshit why don't ya…
Alright…the bottom line here is that there should never be a celebrity like Adrianne Curry who lived in the Midwest all her life and then moved to California commenting on hurricane evacuation. It's really not about tax money, or warnings, or free buses. It's not about what could have been. It's about HUMAN BEINGS and their lives. She would rather save a couple of bucks that she would blow on another bag of weed than save some people's lives.
I mean if you think about it…those of us who work hard for our money probably could get a little miffed when we see some dumb wife beater wearing hillbilly on the news saying "Im'll ride this one out with beer and some bbq." Especially if the coast guard has to go in later and save said hillbilly from his flooded house…but generally this isn't the case.
It's not ignorance that keeps people from evacuating. It's circumstance. It's not being able to afford it, not having another way, being burdened by helpless animals, not being in physical shape to leave…and not having anyone there to help you. There are countless reasons why a person wouldn't be able to leave.
Im surprised to hear that there were free buses just offered up to the public because in all my life and experience evacuating for hurricanes this has never been offered in my town. I know that they generally use the school buses for hospitals, hospice, nursing homes, and jails. All the major roads are clogged with cars, gas stations run out of gas and close down before some can gas their cars. It's a mess.
I posted responses to Adrianne last night and basically told her to fuck off, and she banned me from responding to her blogs…but not after responding and getting the last word in.
I hope she's enjoying all the attention she's getting…it's probably the only time she gets it. She posts something retarded and then she can't even deal with the fact that it might be really offensive to people.
I live right on the Atlantic coast of Georgia, and if we were faced with a catagory 2 storm or below I wouldn't leave because I really couldn't afford to go anywhere…but if it was a cat. 3 or higher that's too much danger to stay around and I would do what I had to to get out…
Like I said…it's not about ignorance…just circumstance. It's not black and white and as Americans we should band together with each other and help out when there are people in need.
I can't believe I actually saw someone say that a person's Debit card should be charged before the coast guard gets into a helicopter. I hope these people are faced with the same decisions…when it's you in the situation, trust me…it's not as easy as it sounds.
Oh and for anyone who is saying "why would you chose to live somewhere if you know hurricanes are going to hit" all I can say is…you don't always chose where you live…sometimes you have no choice. We aren't all fortunate ones.
Re: JanWicked – Well said! I relocated to England not too long ago, but am from Houston. I've not been able to speak with my family since Friday and it's driving me nuts, but they are safe. We'll see about their homes later. Again, well said. It's about the bigger picture
LAR22: Sorry for your losses. I've been watching KHOU.com for days and my heart, prayers and thoughts go out to you guys who lost just about everything.
The city only issued a mandatory evacuation for certain zip codes and if you did not live in those zip codes the city did not help you leave. Also the city told everyone not in an evacuation zone to stay put and not to leave. That turned out to be a big mistake because most of the rescues were for people that were in a NON evacuation zone. Most people in the mandatory areas did leave. The national media only tells a small part of the story. Stay strong Houston.
Re: pole dancer –
Hey, I don’t like wasting my tax dollars to bail others out too (even those on Welfare). I work two jobs, but it’s my duty as American to pay taxes and it’s not about the money, it’s about the stupidity and ignorance disease spread by people like you and Adrienne Curry that infect the rest of this country, it disgusts me. You have the right to your opinion, but to discard the events of Katrina because it’s like totally different (even though you mention “they” have implemented new policies makes me 100% sure you are uneducated). Whose they? FEMA? George Bush? The mayor of New Orleans? In politics sweetie there are local, state, and federal laws that differentiate from one location to another. Everyone did what they could do with the exception of a few that the media has highlighted for your entertainment and I don’t buy all this. If the majority of people stranded were poor black people, I’m sure everyone’s statements would be different and concerning, but because it hit Houston, TEXAS (oh, no George Bush land!) “The city of black gold” which is OIL where everyone must be white and rich.No way should they get aid or help! I find it discouraging. And it’s self evident of a doomed nation.
100% agree.
the people who stayed are wastefully using the countries assets. Not doing their parts as citizens. They just hope the government will come save their asses every time and when they don't get the aid they think they should get, bitch and moan. Fucking stupid.
Re: hearay1010 –
I was born in Houston and grew up in the neighborhood Piney Point in Memorial which my parents still reside and had to evacuate this past weekend. Currently, I reside in Orlando, Florida and have survived 3 hurricanes. My parents said the exact same thing you said, but they noted that Houston has over 6 million people (correction to my previous statement) and with freeways that need to be restructured and that cannot evacuate everyone efficiently: I-10, I-45, and I-90 (become two lane roads once outside of Houston’s city limits. Also, there’s not enough gas stations and hotels to accommodate all 6 million plus people think about it
Not to burst everyone's bubble but I am an Ike evacuee and I would like to school Ms. Curry on a few things.
1) Ike was a category 2 hurricane however the storm surge for the storm was a category 4 maybe even a category 5. The water level rose 22ft, when in a cat. 2 hurricane is should have only risen 4-8 feet. Houses in Bolivar, West End and Tiki Island are all on stilts which are 17 feet high. Therefore, the water was not expected to rise into their homes. They STAYED because we didn't know how bad it was going to be, and by the time we realized it was going to be bad it was too late to get out.
2) The media over exaggerates. All we have seen on the news for the 2 days prior to Ike was "hurricane coverage". The weather patterns had Ike hitting 200 miles SOUTH of where we live. We didn't know it was going to hit houston until 1 day prior. Most of us went to work Thursday without knowing.
3) if you were put into the same situation we were put in would you want to be rescued? If you had to pack all your precious belongings in 2 short hours, could you do it?
4) You all have NO IDEA how bad it is. I live 20 miles north of Galveston in Friendswood and we lost our house.
HOW DARE YOU PEOPLE SAY SUCH MEAN AND INCONSIDERATE THINGS SUCH AS THESE.
i think she's totally 100% right
she has obviously never experienced a hurricane b4…you NEVER know which way its gunna go!!! for the longest time it was projected to hit corpus christi and when it finally did shift most people had either choosen to stay or go, my fam and i left but my bff stayed behind and they weren't asking 4 help, they just rode it out…
well i agree with her in the fact that the ones who stayed even though they were warned are fuckin idiots….but people are bound to take up what she said wrong!! its true about rescuers havin to put their lives at risk to help these stupid fuckers!
Re: silver – Well said, i totally agree…(number 300)
And cute dog!
i completely agree with her. Good for her for having a backbone and not trying to sugar coat shit. GO ADRIANNE!
SHE IS 1000% RIGHT. Anyone who disagrees with her and bashes her is an idiot. They were warned, they thought it was funny and cute and tough to stay and now they cry for money from the Government. Fuck them, they should of left like the rest. Sometimes being the tough guy isn't always right.
She's annoying, but has a point. Everyone was told to get out, those who stayed despite the warnings should have to pay for their foolishness.
I'll be giving HANDOUTS from my butthole to anyone who agrees with a talentless act like adrienne 'nobody' curry!
…..and you know what CUNTRAGS me and my fellow TEXANS can support ourselves and we'll take OUR OIL and ENERGY RESOURCES with us too! Have fun riding donkeys bitches BUhBUYYYYY!!
i get what she's trying to say …but this is really bad timing and poor delivery of an otherwise (somewhat) valid message. But very insensitive of her, and also there are some good reasons why some of those people can't evacuate in time for the hurricanes!
I should know. I've been through 3 of them..
Re: sssssteph – The reason that she doesnt know what living like a hurricane is like is because I bet that she would leave the city if she was warned that it was coing. I mean come on in the middle of a hurricane evcuation, who cares about their jobs its not like any company would force you to work overtime during a fucking hurricane. She is right, America should spend their money on people who deserve it and ot on people who think that they are indestructable and then expect other people to help them. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for hurricane releif but for the people who had no warning and no choice. These people knew that it was coming but they still decided to stick around for the show. They even had free transport.
she better watch out cuz karma will come around and bite u in the ass
unfortunately, she is right. I am in Katrina land and witnessed first hand the public's abuse of the government. It was sad…everybody just wanted a handout. The worst part was that the govt offerred unenployment pay for a long period after the storm… then NO-ONE was willing to go back to work!!
I agree with her 100%!!!!
Those people were not stuck in Galveston. They chose to stay, despite warnings of a likely death and mandatory evacuation orders. If they had not been able to leave, did not have easy transport to get out of there, then I'd be saying otherwise. However, these dumbasses were interviewed on tv saying they saw no reason to leave. They were going to get some beer and wait it out. They were clearly MENSA candidates. Rescue workers should NOT risk their own lives to save these people.
Here's a quote from one of the people that stayed behind from a BBC article: "If it ain't your time you ain't going anywhere." …The grammar alone shows the stupidity of this person, and his actions only add to that assumption. Your God isn't going to save you from a deadly hurricane, idiot! Adrian Curry probably falls into the idiot category as well, generally, but she does make a great point here.
well im not the biggest fan of adrianne, i think she is annoying 90% of the time..but this time she is so spot on!! i mean did these people not learn their lesson with katrina? i mean seriously? they were warned for many many days to get out but they didnt and now they want to be rescued and want everyone to feel sorry for em? stupid…im an australian and if we were told by the government to get out of town cause there was a bad storm coming, we wouldnt care about anything we would leave..i mean why are these people so dumb?
I know nothing but Adrianne Curry …but SHE IS 100% CORRECT. Lets call it for what it is. These people were provided with options and THEY CHOSE NOT TO TAKE IT…therefore, it is now there responsibility to get themselves out of the mess they are in.
I don't think it was the right thing to do BUT many of those people had just ran up to San Antonio for Gustav and to turn around and do the same…with what money? And they are scared of the shelters due to what happened in the arena during Katrina. A friend of mine had 30 relatives to come up and stay with her during Gustav. Some did run all the way to San Antonio and can't return due to having little to no funds. It is all on the radio on how silly mostly whites…do not think the government should help them return home but make it apparent they are wanted in San Antonio! I always find it SO ironic how some silly whites have such an out cry if they feel that minorities or low income whites are getting something from the government. BUT where are the posts about the government bailing out all of these financial investments firms by the millions???? We pay these CEOs millions to run a company, millions to leave when they are fired…and when the company goes under we bail them out by the billions. Adrianne where is your post about that? Did you even bother? Were you even aware?
I see so many comments from people who have family in Houston, claiming that we're all evil people for agreeing with this blog. We're agreeing with her because she's speaking about the people in Galveston who were ordered to leave, but thought it would be fun to get some beers and stay to wait out the storm. The people in Houston were NOT told to evacuate. This isn't a response to ALL hurricane victims. This was only a response to the few that CHOSE to stay, not the ones that had no choice but to stay. If you're told to stay in your home and need rescue, then you should be rescued. If you're told that you MUST evacuate or face a certain death and refuse to do so, I see no reason why others should risk their lives to save you. If they do, you should 100% be prepared to pay for it.
I've lived in Florida my whole life and have only evacuated once.
They tell you it's going to be one way, and then it changes everyday even where the hurricane is going to hit. Also, a lot of people don't want to leave their homes because of looters. The storms usually ends up being of less damage then reported. We don't fear them anymore.
I understand her anger. Did we learn nothing from Katrina? Granted sometimes the hurricanes don't turn out as bad but sometimes they do, if not worse then expected so if you choose to stay you should be on your own. Gambling with your life is one thing but to expect others to risk there lives for your bad choices and then expect the goverment to pay for it, well that just pisses me off to.
I like this girl, she's smart. I agree with her. I also would like to burn a big blunt with her. She looks like a lot of fun.
i totally agree with her! what the hell is wrong with these ppl? when a killler storm is headed your way, you get the hell out…is a bunch of crap that you own really worth your life? or the life of someone who has to come and rescue you? that is just pathetic.
Blah blah blah! She's talking out of her ass again! She says we are rewarding stupidity in the u.s. Yeah we really rewarded her stupidity by putting her on tv. She is such an idiot! She doesn't know what the hell she's talking about. I would love to see her in the situations these people are in with no money or home or any of the damn resources to help her out. Big words from such a lil person! She wouldn't survive 1 sec and if we were to do what she sai then she'd have to pay for it herself anyways, cause we wouldn't want to reward stupidity!! Did she ever think that the people who stayed didn't have anywhere else to go. Maybe she should just go get her boobs done again and act like a spoiled jackass on tv. Seems to be what she's good at. Stick to your day job Adrianne
They had DAYS not a day to decide to leave Mario. And I'm so sick of people sitting on their asses demanding the government to save them and pay them.
I agree with her. People knew what was coming, and if they chose to stay and risk rescuers lives and suck down lots of money for the cost of rescue, they deserve to have to pay the bill. I still however think Adrienne is a flake, I just happen to agree with this point.
She's right!!
Adrianne, honey listen to me..people pay T-A-X-E-S in this country so that they can depend on their government..not so that you can write off your botox, boob jobs and face-lifts as a "career" expense. You will never know what it is to huddle by the few meager possessions a lifetime of real work has provided as a killer storm bears down on you, so why don't you just zip it and write about things you know, like marrying a guy you're not in love with for a little celebrity. And I do mean little.
Im not a big adrian curry fan but she does have a point here.
i think shes right. stoooooooooooopid americans
She's totally right!
I think she's right. After Katrina you think Texas would of known better than to stick around. What were they trying to prove by staying? They obviously had death wishes
I don't know who this girl is, but I thought the same thing (sort of) when reading some articles about the hurricane. People were told it was dangerous to stay. They were offered places to stay and ways to get there. It's their own stubbornness if not stupidity that left them stranded, they should have to pay for their rescue. My heart goes out to everybody who lost anything and who had to go through the hurricane.
She is 110% right! Is it harsh? Of course. But I live in a hurricane ridden area. I have been through the song and dance of waiting to see if it will hit. Then you get all your stuff packed up and you leave, only to turn around and go back for nothing. But you know what? THAT IS WHAT YOU CHOOSE TO DEAL WITH LIVING IN A COASTAL AREA! When officials tell you to leave, you leave. If you choose to stay, you are choosing to give up all rights to a timely rescue. Why should families have to risk their wives, husbands, mothers, fathers, daughters or sons to come rescue your stupid ass who didn't leave? I can understand back before they provided free evacuation methods. Since Katrina, there is absoltutely no excuse. Yes, of course you feel bad for the suffering of people. But they choose their fate. They need to take responsibility for their actions. Oh wait, this is America. I'm sorry, I forgot that. No one has to take responsibility for themselves here!
She is ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!If only people like PEREZ and these other Idiots made half as much sense as her, the world would be such a better place. VIVA la Adrianne! BRAVO BRAVO
Sorry…I agree..when people are told that they are facing "certain death" if they don't evacuate, they should absolutely have to pay to be rescued if they choose to stay behind.
SHE IS RIGHT PEREZ. People should be responsible for themselves. PLEASE!
I completely AGREE with Adrianne (if she did indeed make these statments, sometimes Perez puts his spin on things) These people were foolish to stay, because it was predicted that it was going to be very bad and many people would die. What I heard on the reports was that people could not "afford" to leave. Why would you put more value on possession than on you safety?
I'm sorry, but I agree with her.. People knew the high amount of danger they would be in if they stayed and yet refused to leave. I think they should foot the bill for endangering rescuers lives and costing more money for the government on top of the cost of rebuilding the devistation. She may have put it more eliquently, but she has a valid point.
First off, I have no idea who this this chick is, but…
Being a Texan myself, I have to agree. There were soo many notices/alerts/warnings to these fuckin ediots to EVACUATE !!! Why the fuck did they stay !?! When everything was provided for, for them to LEAVE. They stayed ! Now they should stick continued to "stick it out" as they had planned in the first place.
She's right. You were told to get out and decided to stay. They should pay.
I agree 110%!!!! Warnings were given…..and then they call wanting rescued while the hurricane is going on. Total stupidity. They have no right to disregard warnings and then decide to risk the rescuers lives to go get their sorry a**ses when it gets bad LIKE THEY WERE TOLD IT WOULD. And YES, THEY SHOULD BE PAYING FOR THEIR OWN RESCUE!!!
i agree completely with what she said!!!! if ur stupid enough to stay somewhere when they've just told yo ass to evacuate then dont sit there and scream for help and pretend like u didnt get the warning because even if u didnt see it or hear it u saw ppl leaving and im sure ppl called and said hey u kno they issued a warning right? shooot!! like i said i completely agree and all u ppl jumping down her throat can kiss my ass and hers because obviously ur one of those ppl tht value material things instead of YOUR LIFE!! sittin there b b q'ing WHAT KINDA STUPID CRAP…? UGH MAKES ME ANGRY!!!
Re: Jennifer Garza – Why didn't your family leave, they didn't have to be sitting in the dark if they would have left.
I AGREE with her comments!
Being a Hurricane Katrina, Rita and now Gustav survivor: You really never know what you are going to do till you are put in that situation. Think of all the hrs spent on the road trying to evacuate. During Rita people were stuck on the road in TX- they had to ride out the storm on the road. Maybe they were scared that would happen again and that's why they did not leave? I left during Katrina/rita lost everything then rebuilt- when gustav came we stayed. Mentally it's drainning going through evacuations with the fear of coming home to nothing-again. I saw make her come down to New Orleans and view the destroyed houses still standing three years later.
Re: manda panda 84 – you say you stayed because you didn't expect the hurricane to be that bad…….and they gave the warning if you did it was certain death. YOU ARE A FUCKING DUMBASS!!!!
i agree with adrienne.
its sad that these people lost everything they had BUT being in the home as it was getting destroyed was a dumb move… theres no way they'd be able to protect their house or themselves by staying in it.
they were ordered to evacuate and they stayed which put their lives in jeopardy and the lives of the people that had to rescue them in jeopardy. i think its a very selfish decision and one that will cost the government a lot more money that could've gone to rebuilding the area.
what she is saying isnt controversial… its the truth.
shes kinda right if they said imminent death and u stayed its ur own damn stupidity. the only ones i can understand are invalids and those too poor to leave
Re: SnakePlissken – Because . . . she was given a pile of gold for writing this blog? She's not "rewarded" for anything, she's just stating her opinion. The only claim to fame she's ever had is winning America's Next Top Model & being on two lame ass VH1 reality shows. She never even gets invited to premieres anymore, she's so Z-list . . . so . . . try not to be an idiot next time you post.
ummm….I actually agree with her…….but the bad news is that most of the idiots that ignore the evacuation warnings don't have the money to pay for the rescue help. Good theory, but not very practical
