Was the survivor thing she did FB too? I wasn't listening the week she did that, so I can't remember.

I wonder if these dead with her old boss are what did her in.

I have no idea who any of these acronyms are...but hopefully if anything good came come from this is this douche face getting fired.

Durst_Burp · 10/26/2017 6:50 pm

Have we seen this yet? I just listened to the part of Snooki's podcast where Jenny talks about the cruise but she didn't say much, and it's painful to listen to so spare yourself.

I mean, sounds like the trip was it then. Not to brag, but we are the shit at predicting or calling basically everything.

Her greed did her in...

10/26/2017 7:12 pm

I didn't listen but yep I believe it. Will she learn anything from it? Prob not. She will never take responsibility for that. The legal action that is going on just means she's trying to fight it. And it was her fault. Or her "teams" fault. Did no on tell her this wasn't a good idea? I would fire them all.

starfishout · 10/26/2017 8:17 pm

Ok definitely the trip. I wonder who came up with this shady trip idea and all the details? It's just not something Taylor is capable of doing on her own. Old boss from Sirius who was also her boss on Younger and her Turks trip partner? That boss' husband owns the hotel in Turks and they also have a house there. I have to believe she had a heavy hand in it. Makes me wonder...that boss was at Sirius for less than a year. Did she leave on good or bad terms? If Sirius had been wanting to fire Tay, they could have just not renewed her contract in October, but it seems they did renew her contract right before she got fired for this shady trip. So Sirius was just that pissed about the trip or there's a legal investigation and they had no choice.

This is how I think it went down. Taylor (possibly Matt & TD as well, but I don think think initially) was out to dinner with T&C chick. Talking about how nice the resort is, Taylor really wants to go, can't afford it. T&C says something about doing the Goddess Getaway there, or something similar. Taylor has a 💡 moment and figures she can't pull off the same trip, cut out the middle man.

Takes the idea to TD & Matt, they tell her she's nuts, but she says no, it'll be perfect, no issues, same as all the other (GG, kennys show, her after hours FB live) stuff, just mention it on air, the sheep all pay and away we go. I really don't think anymore thought then that went into the whole thing. No running it past Sirius, no lawyers, nada.

Is she really that inept in the business side of things? Is Matt?

FKFriday · 10/26/2017 8:35 pm

I don't think it's inept, I really think she (they?) thought it would be ok because of the other things. I think it was just a really stupid mistake. I really don't seeing her being malicious at all, I don't think she set out to scam people (well other then the $1k or so that she was pocketing, but even that I think she saw no different then them making money on the GG or the webinars with Carin), it just wasn't put togeather well.

I will respect her if she ever comes out with a "mea culpa" and owns this mistake. I have a hard time buying this Melissa chick didn't know better tho.

No, especially because she worked for Sirius. She may have assumed Taylor would go through the proper channels though?

I can't imagine Taylor will ever take responsibility. I'm sure mommy & daddy are paying for lawyers because she got screwed and isn't at fault.

Wakeupfan420 · 10/26/2017 9:10 pm

This article is interesting...makes sense why they got along...
“She followed her own rules and treated publicists across the country like s—,” one source tells us. “She screams and yells and never calls anyone back.” "Her aggressive approach was apparently polarizing"

Wow...that is interesting. Good find 420.

If Taylor aligned herself with Melissa while she was at Sirius (and apparently even after her departure) and if what the article says is true, I can see that not being a good look for Taylor and her career with Sirius.

Fascinating.... I've been wondering how much this former boss played a role in the whole thing. She doesn't exactly sound like a gem, does she?

Wakeupfan420 · 10/27/2017 5:36 am

Seems like she had quite the influence on T, but I wonder what made her leave SXM after only 7 months? And if she has so much experience in the biz, how could she think that janky ass website/ gmail was a good idea to promote this trip?? It just started out soooo sketchy. Still kinda blows my mind

WhosBecky? · 10/27/2017 7:36 am

I think Mel planted the seed or offered up their hotel, but from there it was all T and her minions.
Does anyone know how you paid for the GGs? I assume Carin's website is set up to take payments in a legit way and that's how?

I'm just thinking that, since she did leave Sirius after only 7 months, maybe her stint there did not end well- Taylor having dealings with her might have put her on the company higher-ups radar. If this woman was the one getting Taylor all of the side hustle that she spent WAY too much time on Sirius's airwaves promoting it might have pissed some people off and they were just looking for a reason to ditch her. The trip may have given them just enough reason to be able to legally get rid of her.... I feel like the swiftness of her firing (if she was, of course) means she was being looked at hard- it took only a matter of a couple of days for the show to disappear after this trip came out.

PrincessPoppy · 10/27/2017 1:25 pm

This board has always predicted what's next - for Taylor or the show. The fact that it's been two weeks without a PEEP to me is completely crazy. Sirius has wiped her name off every piece of the website. No podcast has been created with her name, Google yields nothing, and perusal of the FCC site comes up empty too. I'm an auditor (by trade) so digging and researching runs through my veins and I find this so frustrating!

She must be in some deep $hit.

Don'tEverGoToTheBeach · 10/27/2017 1:35 pm

If she doesn't make some kind of announcement today, I think she will lose a lot of support. She promised some news this week. There's been nothing. People's attention spans aren't that long these days.

I agree. I imagine her being a long lost memory if Sirius fills her timeslot soon with something similar.

Completely agree!

Matt, if you are reading this, make some kind of announcement.

Deep down I think she’ll always have the support of the crazy Facebook fans. She’s the only thing good in their lives it seems, and that’s sad. It could be three months and they’re still “miss my tay mornings! I’m depressed! Hate every other show but I will listen just cause!”

Yes she will have an audience wherever she lands.

Hawr-rible · 10/27/2017 2:11 pm

I'm actually really hoping Sirius does come up with a new similar show to Wake Up, I would totally listen to it. Think I'm ready for the some fresh blood; old Taylor was super fun and I could relate to her somewhat. New Taylor, not so much. It would be nice to have a new little cup of espresso who has new, unheard stories- how great would that be? I miss the familiarity of Taylor's show but I'm kind of over it now.....

HAHA yes, you're right on that. But how big is that audience? If it is even most of that facebook group that's only 3000 people. That won't make a person famous. They really should be saying more if they want to keep her out there. She may do better targeting a local audience.

I agree! I'd love to have a new fun, fearless female host.

10/27/2017 2:27 pm

Yea she's done for. She squandered every opportunity she did have while at Sirius and she fucked up. There's no coming back from this. Esp with legalities still going on. It's gonna take forever and you are right people will move onto the next thing.

I def forsee a TD breakup in her future too. She considered herself the breadwinner and now she's not. Who's paying for that apartment now? Esp if this was Taylors own fault, I wouldn't be able to look at my so the same knowing the lost their own job because of their stupidity.

Let the guessing begin!

I agree- I don't see how she and TD will last. They want completely different lifestyles, that will catch up to them in the end. Which is sad but if they don't have the same goals in life, how will they not be doomed to fail? TD wants marriage and children and a normal life; Tay wants no kids and to be a reality star. It doesn't mix- one will have to sacrifice the life they want for the other one. I feel bad for TD; if I had a boyfriend who always said how much he loved me but he just can't see himself settling down and that he doesn't want kids and wants to be a famous rock star or something (and said it daily on national radio to everyone)and that's the life I was banking on having, I would be so hurt. I wish the best for both of them, but I don't think they will wind up together in the end. (Unless now that Tay lost the show she decides to switch gears and live a regular, non-famous lifestyle....who knows?)
