Erika, I agree. And it is hard to think that way because it's Dustin. This is the last thing I want to be talking about, I wish we could be discussing his brand new tv show or how he's become a famous comedian...but no. We see a man we've loved since many of us were just starting school, beg and plead for money...and for what? Even if he gets this money it's just to keep his house...that doesn't include the monthly payments that come after it. And it's hard to see the world talking trash about him, but this time I can understand why they are doing it. I don't like to see it, and I still don't approve, but at least this time I understand a bit more. I'm not saying I don't like Dustin, I'm just saying that it's hard to see someone you've looked up to, turn his life in this direction. It's quite sad.

Erika, I think that brokennewz article you linked is from a fake news website.

That's odd. The article reads like it could be legit. However, the bottom of the website (next to the copyright symbol), it reads: "Broken Newz, The Internet's Premiere Satire." I don't know what to say about that. |

I think it's legit. It sounds like Dustin, and it sounds like everything we've already heard?

The part that sounded to me like it could be fake was where he mentioned how much he likes porn. I don't recall him ever saying anything like that before.

Eh, I took that all kind of jokingly (he is a comedian and that is his humor). But I think he knows he won't do it so he can kinda blame the fiance...you know how that goes LOL But maybe he does. It's not the first time I've heard him mention porn before though. |

Oh, boo-hoo. Here was an 18-year old kid with a half million dollars and now he's broke. We're supposed to feel sorry for him?? Why, because he was a character on a TV show?? How many of you graduated high school with a half million dollars already?
Diamond believes he deserves more money than what he has, and even though that is true, he had more than enough to make a great living for himself. Why should fans support somebody to have luxuries fans themselves don't have? He had money. He blew the money. Now, he begs for money. If he really wanted to, I'm sure that he could make a decent living for himself now, but this whole "save my house" angle could just be a way to get his name out there, since his acting career has hit the bottom of the barrel.

You know...the more and more I hear about his story and learn new aspects of it....the more and more I am not feeling any sympathy for him.....I hate to admit that...because he seems like such a cool guy and all....but ugh....his irresponsibility just irritates me!!!   He needs to shut up about his home...get an apartment...pay off his debt....get some more gigs...get health insurance...and oh yeah....get a financial advisor for goodness sake!!!! He's 29 years old....have he started his life with $250,000!!!! Who starts off like that? Do you know how much I wish I can start my life with $250,000!!!! Since when is that "little" money....PLease give me a break....People start off their lives without any money.....and they get by OK and work their way up..... Ok I need to stop....because I am getting myself all worked up here...lol I am really disappointed. By us helping him...do you really think he'll learn? The best thing, in my opinion, is to watch him hit rock bottom (which he shouldn't be afraid of since he's already showing this low point in his life and how he's handeling it) As much as I hate to admit it, he needs to get to that really, really, really, low point in his life to learn from this....if that means living in an "apartment" for him...well then so be it....a lot of other people have it harder than him.....he has so many oppurtunities to get money...ways we WISH we could earn......ugh....I am really saddened by this whole thing.  I read the link you posted, read your post and figured, why post what I think? You already did! I will always support Dustin as a fan. Outside of what you posted Erika, I'm speechless. |

Okay, I'm getting all mixed up with what's going on. I know the basics. Dustin has bad credit and has come to his fans to save his house. Some parts of this section, I feel bad for him. Other parts, I feel like he is acting like a total jerk. So, could someone please explain to me who is running the site? Who is in charge of the d-shirts? Exactly what is the situation here? |

Dustin himself is running the website. And the shirts. He's handeling it all.  |

Thanks Erika.  I was just reading on another thread that there have been SUV's in his drive-way and I saw the link about those songs, but I didn't listen to any of them. I do know the basics, there just seems to be something new once in awhile. I can't wait till this is over. I really do hope this turn out for him and Jennifer. |
