Important Message
September 1, 2008
I have tried to keep this situation private but it is apparent that that is no longer possible. I initially thought it was best to ignore the rumors and let people think what they want, but I now realize it has taken on a life of its own and I have no choice but to address this matter. I would like to state, unequivocally and for the record, that I am not pregnant. Furthermore, the fictional fetus is not half-black, as has been rumored, nor is it a quarter mestizo indian, which has not been rumored.
Shame on those who started and perpetuated these rumors for their own amusement or gain. Peoples’ lives are affected and forever changed by these nefarious fabrications. I don’t know how these people sleep at night or what their sleep schedules are, for that matter. Perhaps they are up all night concocting these ridiculous lies and they sleep during the day. No matter, I will not stand idly by and let my character, or that of my fictional baby, be falsely attacked.
To my family, friends and fans, thank you for standing by me during what has been one of the most difficult periods of my career/life. I will never forget the cards, letters, emails and texts I received. I didn’t receive any pages because it’s 2008 and if you still have a pager I don’t want to be your friend. But seriously, you (and my sense of humor) are truly what has kept me going during a dark and difficult period. Again, there is no baby so please stop sending stuffed animals or baby shoes. While small and cute, I have no use for them at this time.
I have learned a lot and grown stronger from this and I promise to return more determined than ever. If and when a baby comes into my life you will be the first to know as I will alert you through the appropriate outlets, my website or blog.
