Cheryl: Heidi did but that's not the worst of it...
Me: What, did she get fired from Target?
Cheryl: No... it's worse than that...
Cheryl: Heidi has BREAST CANCER...
To say that Heidi has made up some tall tales or is prone to exaggeration is an understatement. To put it bluntly, Heidi is a BIG FAT LIAR. Here are some of the whoppers that I have heard, in no particular order of heinousness:
- When she was young and they didn't have any money her mother made her steal... Verified lie by her mother
- She left Kien finally because he beat her and she was afraid of him... Verified lie by Kien - he grabbed her and shook her but did not hit or "beat" her
- She had herself checked into the mental hospital because she tried to commit suicide ... Not a "Verified" lie but certainly not 100% truthful as Minnesota Statute 253B.05 EMERGENCY ADMISSION states that if the examiner is of the opinion, for stated reasons, that the person is mentally ill, developmentally disabled, or chemically dependent, and is in danger of causing injury to self or others if not immediately detained. This detention is usually for 72 hours. Heidi was out in less than 24 hours. Like I said, maybe not a complete lie, but certainly an exaggeration.
Get back to the point Jen...
Reasons why I don't believe Heidi:
- There was no mention of a biopsy. You have to have a biopsy in order to determine whether or not you actually have cancer and what stage it is in... which leads me to...
- There was no mention of what stage of cancer she has
- She "allegedly" has cancer in both breasts - one is the size of a marble and the other is the size of a pea - and found out about it a month ago. Hello! If you've known you have breast cancer do you sit on it for a month or do you start treating it right away?!
- There is no family history of breast cancer in her family. I guess someone has to be first???
- I think it's very convenient that "a month ago" she told Kien (her ex-husband since September or so...) about being diagnosed with "cancer" when it just so happens that about a month ago was when Kien was finally offered a job after being out of work for over a year.
- Heidi did go over to her father's house and told him and her stepmother and probably her sister about her diagnosis. That's a risky move if you are faking an illness especially since her stepmom is a nurse.
- She claims that eventhough there is no family history of breast cancer she was more likely to contract it because she has a condition where she gets cysts in her breasts. I was informed by her aunt that she has the same condition and no doctor has ever warned her of an increased risk of contracting breast cancer.
I don't think Heidi really has breast cancer. I think that this is either her way of being the center of attention or it is a sympathy ploy to try to get back together with her ex-husband (which she has been trying to do basically since before the divorce was even finalized... eventhough SHE was the one that cheated, lied and said that another year of marriage to him was like being sentenced to another year in prison!)
I really hope that Heidi doesn't have cancer because despite the fact that I can't stand her and think she's a terrible human being and would be happy to never hear or see from her again... I would never wish this on anyone. And if she actually does have cancer then I really hope that she is able to get treatment and get through it.
But what does Joe think???
Hey, if Heidi dies I get 5 days off paid for bereavement...
