    Ya know, this is the biggest bull. I am majoring in being a reporter, and nevee in my life have I ever read something so far from the truth. You all should be ashamed of yourselves. You are setting examples to younger reporters to lie. Some reporting. You didnt go out and get the truth, You heard gossip and ran with it, because your too lazy to actually get up and do some real work. What a shame!!! That is what are world and media is coming to. Tyna and Tony are the ebst people I know. They give back to the world ten times what you say that stole. For your information, she did have a brain tumor. I watched her hair fall out. I watched here go throught hell taking chemo. I watched her throw her guts up. I was ther. You werent. She has doen so much for so many people. I love and adore her, along with thousands of other people. Yall dont listen to those people, do you. You go to the people that have nothing better to do than talk bs about tyna, and yall write that in the news. I hope you guys realize what damage you have done!!

    The shame is not with the media and the facts that they report on. The
    shame is with a person who deceives her children, her husband and the
    community in which she lives in. There are no medical records showing
    that Tyna Larry ever had a Brain Tumor. Tyna Larry herself testified in
    court and I quote \”I told that one lie and it snowballed,\” Tyna said.
    Tyna Larry admitted lying that she had a malignant, inoperable brain
    tumor in order to get money from people — when in fact she was healthy.
    She admitted to putting Nair on her hair to make it fall out and taking
    pills to make it appear she was sick and undergoing Chemo. She
    admitted that she lied to her husband for over 3 years and she said she
    concocted the cancer story to try to save her marriage. \”He was pulling
    away from me,\” Tyna Larry testified. \”I had been around cancer so I knew
    about it.\”
    The person you need to be angry with is Tyna Larry, for she is the one
    who has caused the damage not the media. Her lies, deceit and
    selfishness has been harmful to many people.

    If you are indeed pursuing a career as a journalist than I advise you to
    do some research of your own before accusing another journalist of
    reporting lies. In fact it is quite simple do a search in google on
    \”Tyna Larry\”. There is not a conspiracy against this woman to make her
    out to be a liar and a fraud; she did that all on her own.

    Here are a few links you may want to read for yourself to get you
    started.

    I am someone who spent time with tyna in prison and she is a liar. She is still getting into trouble being locked up. Of course her own flesh and blood would stand up for her because that is your mother. But she poured nair on her head to make her hair fall out and she was probably throwing up because she had such a guilty concience. She really does know how to manipulate people into doing things for her . All she does is cry all day and it is actually sickening. She deserves the time she will serve at FMC Carswell.

    I did make terrible choices…not for the reaasons the media said I did. I stood in court and told the 100% truth…I plead guilty THE FIRST MOMENT I COULD.
    I ran form my lies instead of standing up and telling people what I ahd done. I took the easy way out BUT it caught up with me. I have paid for, not only that but EVERYTHING I have ever done wrong. I am a good person that made some really terrible choices. I have learned much from my self-inflicted punishment. ONE of the many things I’ve learned is that when the very worse thing you have ever done is aired for everyone to sit back smuggly and judge you then THATS when you find out who your friends are. I have certainly forgiven worse in others and am SO thankful my real friends and my precious family have forgiven me. I pray each of you can examine your own private wrongs and learn to beless judgemental of others. Imagine your sins being posted across the newspaper and tv…really imagine it. It changes your entire perspective. I’m sorry…truly sorry for what I did…the things I said…the people I hurt. I wish I could take it ALL back. I was sorry LONG BEFORE I was caught…so I ran from it and moved to Dallas. It caught up with me, I paid, and now I’d like to get on with my life. God bless each of you as He has me.

    I have the privelage of being married to, knowing, and loving Tyna. She is a beautiful person that made some bad decisions. Her motives were right…her choices weren’t. All a person can be once they’ve done wrong is be sorry. She is. If someone did prison time with her and then posted that crap about her then 1. prison did nothing for you in the way of teaching you a lesson and 2. you are a hateful, mean-spirited person to say she cried all day yet deserves what she got. You’re pitiful and I pray for you each time I talk to God.
    Society…get over your pompus selves…judge your own closets and leave everyone elses dirty laundry alone. It would make for a more loving world and God KNOWS we need that.

    Seriously people…I don’t even know this lady but for real you all need to get a life. So. She screwed up. God doesn’t require us to answer to people, just to Him. And it sounds like she has answered everyones call and done her time and is now a healthier person for it. And her family sure has too. I admire her for taking the punches she has and STILL saying she is sorry to you self-rightious punks. Get over it and let her and her family be. Seriously.

    Okay…so the lady did wrong. Who hasn’t?! I got to know her…saw her at her lowest…and believe she was extremely remorseful. She’s got a good heart…she just f—ed up. Haven’t YOU? She was in love with a man that didn’t show her much attention…not saying he’s bad either…but she went about things the wrong way. I agree. But its so easy for people {you and me} to sit back and judge and criticize when in the same situation COULD have done the same thing. She had just had a baby and had been through her husbands infidelities and his abuse so maybe, just maybe, it triggered a hormpnal reaction. I think they call it postpartum something. Does serious things to a person. I know I have faked headaches to belly aches to get attention. Tell me you haven’t too. LIAR! Yes she went to the extreme but having gotten to know her I honestly just think it had a lot to do with her history and hormones and that she, of all the people I ever met, was regretting of her actions. Give these people a break. Okay, Society?
