Extreme Makeover suicide

I hate this show. I refuse to watch it. Poor dysfunctional people are "helped" by a group of "well meaning" people looking to exploit them to make a profit and make themselves good. If they want to do something worthwhile with the money they dump in to this show they should make a program where they help critically ill patients get life saving procedures done.

When you kill with your own hands there is a Reverance. There is no honor in what you do.

So how did Kelly's sister applied her when she was chosen to get an "extreme makeover" when that television show was canceled?

I don't believe that for one second.

The woman chosen to do the makeover is Deleese Williams, her sister is Kellie McGee. Make a long story short.......ABC people asked Deleese's family to talk about how ugly she was....her sister Kellie talked about her ugliness.....anyways...Deleese makeover was cancelled....Kellie hid out from her...embarrassed to face her sister after all the mean things she said....and then 4 months later....killed herself.

It's sad that she killed herself....but I don't see how they think they can pin the death/suicide on ABC. I mean...if the actual person who was to have the makeover killed themselves, I could see that being a lawsuit.....but a sister of the "makeover candidate"??? That would be like me suing an employer for my brother's heart attack after they fired me. I mean he was really distraught.....

America, the land where you can sue anyone for anything! (if anyone writes anything mean after this....I am go to sue)

wondering if we'll hear how it turns out????

'Extreme Makeover' sued for suicide of canceled candidate's sister

UPI News Service, 09/18/2005

A Los Angeles lawsuit claims producers of ABC's "Extreme Makeover" dumped a makeover candidate at the last minute and shattered her Texas family.

The 31-page lawsuit filed in Los Angeles claims "Extreme Makeover" promised a "Cinderella-like fix" for Deleese Williams' deformed jaw, crooked teeth, droopy eyes and small chest that would "transform her life and destiny," the New York Daily News reported Sunday.

Williams' pending makeover was announced on air Jan. 7, 2004. Producers then coaxed family members to say mean things about her looks on videotape, while she sat in earshot of it all, the suit alleges.

"Extreme Makeover" flew her from Texas to Los Angeles and as she sat in her hotel room reading pre-op instructions for the next morning, a producer showed up and told her she was being dropped because her recovery time would take too long, Williams' attorney, Wesley Cordova, told the Daily News.

Her sister, Kellie McGee, "fell to pieces" over the mean things she said about her sister and killed herself four months later, Cordova said.

Williams, 30, and her husband, Mike, are now raising McGee's two children, along with their own two children. The suit seeks unspecified damages.

ABC has declined to comment on the allegations, the Daily News said.
