What in the world was Tan Mom high on during her interview. She could barly speak proper sentences was all fidigity, sweating. Twitching of mouth and odd hand movements. Her husband had to speak several times for her. So sad.
What in the world was wrong with Tan Mom? she acted like she was tweeking...on drugs or has a serious neurological disorder. This woman just made a complete idiot of herself being on this show and for you on the show to give her air time after seeing how she was acting I think is a bit troubling.
With all the erratic hand movements, jaw clenching, slurred speech and talking in ways that really only made sense to her...she should never have been allowed on the show. Or at the very least we should have been told she has a neurological disorder or she needs to go into a drug treatment facility. Because it's obvious to everyone watching, she has major problems.
The tanning "bomb" mom is absolutely crazy. I saw her on your show this week she acted like she was on drugs. She was moving her mouth constantly, hands waving all around. She is a total lunatic and needs to be evaluated for mental disorders. I feel sorry for her daughter and husband. Totally disgusting.
Wow, I can't believe she was given air time. If she isn't using some sort of speed she definitely has some sort of neurological problem, perhaps from past drug use. It was so obvious by her uncontrollable hand motions and her jaw clenching. I also thought her husband seemed on edge. The fact that he stands by her is very concerning to me. I find her bazar behavior and her obvious drug use way more concerning than I do her allegedly taking her daughter to a tanning salon. I hope social services is able to get this family some help!
On "TAN MOM", she was tweaking. could tell by her facial actions and her body movement.
Please don't do anymore stories with "Tan Mom". She is seriously impaired and she is going to continue to perpetuate this lie to the public? She doesn't deserve any more air time-just a few visits from social services.
Is anderson cooper the new Jerry Springer? I use to love anderson. Now I have second thoughts.
I was at this show, This lady made no sense when she spoke,why she felt the need to announce she fell 3 times *upstairs* is beyond us!and the *joke* about the martini, I think she was the only one involved in that joke, no one got it. She looked as though she was on *something* VERY odd interview people had to help her on an off the stage,and the backstage interview, just as odd, as she was/is. Hope to the heavens above this one don't get a reality gig. OHVEY! what people will watch!
There is no doubt in my mind that "Tan Mom" was high on kind of drug. Just the way she could not control her hands and mouth was a dead give away. No wonder the school called the police, they probably have already witnessed this kind of behavior.
What a train wreck...
Oh my goodness;
Tan Mom seemed a bit off. I am not a doctor but she must have taken some nerve pills or something before the interview.
Anderson! Did she smell like she had been drinking?
Christin and yourself were very kind to not ask her anything about her "um" illness.
I love your show Anderson, I wish I could be there in person as I do have tickets but I just can't afford the hotel bill. Maybe you could run a contest for free hotels in your area once a week for a lucky fan?
About tan mom -- I'm not as concerned about her tanning as I am about her behavior. She seems to be a little off mentally. Her speech was slurred, her hand movements were erratic and she couldn't complete a sentence. What's her back ground. Is she an alcoholic, drug addict, hearing impaired...anyone know?
i have been tanning for years. i also worked at a salon 20 years agoe we would never let parents take the children in the rooms ever! My question is about the mothers interview, was she drunk or on drugs she was having trouble completeing a sentence. Also she had commented the she had fallen 3 times before she came on your show. Really was she believable not as far as i'm concerned. Her husband looked on edge like she was going to say the wrong thing. What a mess, she looks like a nice lady just a hot mess as honey boo boo's mom would say.
