The only reason I was worried it had to do with the Epsteins is because I, and I totally take the blame for this one, just got on here last week and said that I thought Taylor had said her SIL's name on the air and mostly was just confirming that with the other members on here. I even said the name to see if I was right. The other member confirmed that I was right and she has said her name; Taylor always claimed she never did. I didn't mean any harm- I didn't fathom anyone important at that company could possibly read this forum- but if someone does I might have tipped someone off. I hope that's not the case, and I feel truly badly if I caused any trouble for Taylor..... 

I don't think any of the co-hosts are shady enough to audition behind her back (well except for maybe Rob- he is a naughty little thing! But I love him!) But is it terrible of me to hope that maybe one of them would inherit the time slot? I will really miss them and would love if someone I really liked took over the show, or a similar show. 

Interesting theory about her demanding more money! Hmmmm.....she has complained about her salary in the past.

No worries, that s-i-l's name has been posted on this forum and others for the past couple years.

Is it possible she got so drunk at the food and wine festival she made a fool of herself while representing Sirius?  That would be a reason she was fired Saturday.  Although from her comments with Katie on Thursday it seemed something had already gone wrong, which would point to the trip to T&C.

 
On her IG story though, she seemed really happy Saturday (house they were at for the weekend), then Sunday it was about eating her feelings and apple picking to cheer up. I think whatever happened, went down Saturday night. Which is also a super odd time to be fired, so maybe that's not it either.

Nah nvm it really doesn’t seem like that’s the case

I think it’s bad that there’s no explanation. Not that it’s our business but it’s causing everyone to speculate reasons and some of these speculations are damning for Sirius. I understand if she can’t speak on it but still it just sucks.

So I re-read the pdf flyer that was sent for the getaway.  It didn't say SiriusXM on it anywhere!  And only used the show name in quotes - A special "Wake Up with Taylor" hour to be taped and broadcast.
So if she did get in trouble for that, it had to be because she was promoting it on air, right?  Do we have any legal eagles here?  I'm wondering if maybe it was something she did Saturday?  SiriusXM was a big supporter of the NYW&F festival, right? 

edit: Answered my own question, yes a Gold sponsor!

I've been a listener since 2009 and lurker here since right before the divorce announcement.  I just never bothered to make an account because I tended to agree with pretty much everything here.  I used to relate a lot to the show, but I'll admit the past 2 years I haven't been nearly as devoted and find it all a bit much at times.  Although, I am sad I waited until the show was canceled to join.

My thought is the trip had to be last straw.  When I read that flyer, the thing that stood out most to me (aside from the credit card emailing) was that the name of the show was used/affiliated in it and promoted like it was going to be broadcast from there.  If she didn't get permission first, I could see that being against something in her contract, like you can't use the show to promote outside events.  

Other minor things stand out too.  Someone mentioned here that she said needed Monday off because she'd be tired from working this weekend (I didn't hear that show so I don't know), she obviously doesn't prepare for work too much, and just generally sounds like she was happy with doing the show and the pay. I've also noticed over the past couple years she talks about drinking a lot more than she used to and have wondered if this had an effect on her performance as well?  Maybe showing up hung over?

I'm not too convinced it has anything to do with the back kiss convos, knocking Trump, or the in laws though.  I don't know, I'm pretty much just repeating what everyone else is saying, but wanted to chime in anyway!

I just have to say the name you picked made me laugh out loud! It also reminded me of the “good ole’ days” when Taylor was the old Taylor (not on repeat) and her hilarious stories about wearing the “triple dipe stripe” suits!! Thanks for the laughs...

I love this page and I joined the fb supporters group. I'm caught in the middle of loving the show and missing the show but also have criticisms about it and Taylor's professionalism and performance. The people on here (the pink pages) are not trolls...in fact these ladies are very insightful and very business smart. We've come together to discus something we all like or liked and that has created a community. I look forward to visiting this page. Many podcasts and radio shows have similar message boards/pages.

Sidebar - I feel really bad for the cohosts and her regular guests...except for carin, she drove me nuts.
 

I was SHOCKED when Carin said that was her main source of income. It answered many of my questions about her. (and they were not positive) Everyone else has gigs. I really do wonder what she's going to do....

WU was Carina main source of income?? Where did she say that? Wow that is shocking

She posted a video to her FB
 

Ohhh got it!

Carin is awful. ugh.

yes, i saw that too...it is horrible. probably why we didn't see the pic until now.

Taylor seemed to really want to hide her body recently with oversized clothing.  I get it... It can be uncomfortable to gain weight and not be comfortable in your body.  I've always thought she was really cute but definitely not a fan of the recent style!

Completely off topic, but I made the chicken chili she always talked about over the weekend.  It was really good!

I am really confused with the comments about Carly signing her contract. Would Sirius have a co-host sign a contract for a show before they renewed an annual contract for the host? Do you think she (Carly) actually meant her Sirius contract??

What recipe did you use for chicken chili? I didn't know she ever shared it!

http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/chicken-chili-recipe-1942939

She said it was the Barefoot Contessa recipe online.  She talked about making it a few times and said listeners asked her to share the recipe.... One more example of Taylor failing to interact on social media!  She finally said what it was a couple weeks ago when she talked about featuring more food on her blog.
