I'm interested in some of this Matt stuff!  Have we heard from him at all lately?
With his $$ and connections, I don't think she'd drop him entirely.
I think he'd have to step aside first.

I'm not sure of when Matt started but I think it all ramped up after Kenny left. I feel like he knew where the line was..

 
Dr. Anolik and Dr. V used to make appearances when Kenny was on. I remember Kenny had a man crush on Dr. Anolik and he compared Dr. V to Jessica Rabbit. But I think the timing more coincided with her divorce and her feeling that she was now "poor." Prior to her divorce, Dr Anolik came on occasionally but he wasn't Taylor's dermatologist, and Taylor's dentist was her family friend back in Mass. Also soon after the divorce was when she tagged along to Kenny's show in Miami and charged some obscene amount for behind the scenes video coverage online and also when she joined Carin for the Goddess Girls Retreat. What a shame.

I can't imagine she was paying Matt, he probably got a percentage of any gigs she was paid for that he got her. It would do her no service to sever ties with him, he's got to be one of the only solid connections to a new job she has. He was a fan, anyone else she's worked with knows her work ethic and I can't imagine them giving her a reference and pollibly tarnishing their own name.

Are they many job options that would give her what she had? To make that kind of money again, she's going to have to go to a full working day, no? If it was something legal and thenFCC is involved, no one in any sort of broadcasting is going to touch her with a ten foot poll. She needs to get on a podcast or something and start building an audience.

 
In a periscope when she did the "Ask Tay" segments, someone asked that & she claimed she paid him.

Ever since Matt came around I always got the vibe that she was the type that would use her job to bribe or threaten people when she was out and about.  I think it made her feel powerful to tell people she could "ruin"  or promote them by talking about them on the radio.  She definitely misused her job and misunderstood her "celebrity".

I think he got a cut of whatever work he got her.
Remember that in 2+ years she has only done the recent Getting Younger and Survivor FB Live,
Taylor is Matt's only client, hard to live off of no income.

 
Matt is very well taken care of financially thanks to his daddy. This is why Taylor is his only client and he follows her everywhere. There is no way Taylor pays him a salary.

I agree, I think both Drs have been on the show for a while but it wasn't until after Kenny was gone that she mentioned seeing them in their office and joking about free treatments. I thought it was strange because she always talked about her dentist friend in Mass. but suddenly she sees Dr V.. and she always seemed DESPERATE for any of the dermatologist to do free sculpting.. I swear there was a month where she talked to at least 3 Drs about it and it was SO obvious what she was doing

The longer this goes on the less I think she's involved with legal issues initiated by Sirius (ie. the trip or anything else she said on air). They wouldn't sue her for any damages, they would just fire her. If she's pursuing some sort of wrongful termination suit against Sirius, #1 I don't think she has the cash to keep a decent lawyer around this long and #2 even if she is suing Sirius, I doubt her annual salary is much more than the legal fees they'd incur by dragging something like this out. Even if they know they would win in court, they would most likely settle just to get her to STFU.

 

I agree. And I feel bad for Emma- I think there's a good chance Taylor will bail, and I'm not sure Emma is fully aware of Taylor's track record of bailing on friends.

I still think its an FCC plug/play investigation and Sirius fired her over it.  Only thing I can't figure out is if the FCC can issue a gag order to keep her from posting on social media, etc.  Anyone seen that Christain slater radio movie lately??? haha

 
If that was it though, would she be able to do the Philly show? That's what I don't get.

I personally think Taylor was fired and is staying quiet not for legal reasons, but because she is hoping this will all blow over and people will forget about it. She doesn't want to swallow her pride and admit she was fired, especially considering the satisfaction the E sisters would have.

Sooooo these are interesting:

"According to the government’s guidelines those “material connections” include such things as a business or family relationship, monetary payment, or the gift of a free product. Importantly, the rules apply to both endorsers and marketers paying them.

“The legal responsibility for disclosing the relationship between an influencer and a brand is a two-way street,” Fair writes in an FTC blog post. “Influencers should clearly let people know about that connection and marketers have an obligation to make sure they do—usually by educating their influencers and monitoring what the influencers are doing on their behalf.”

Whether or not its why she was actually fired, she definitely violated this because she did not disclose that she was getting anything free from the resort. And let's be real, we know she was.

Ok so this is more conspiracy theory but I noticed when Dr. Laura was talking about prizes for her corny joke show, she EXPLICITLY stated that she is a part owner of “glob and glam”, a company providing some of the prizes. She said it multiple times. I wonder if all employees got a rules refresher after Taylor’s getaway debacle?

It was the TRIP. She got herself fired. I feel bad for her though. Getting fired especially when it was something DUMB you did is really devastating.

What's funny is the people on the FB page don't get it. "Like why would she be fired?". Because the trip was a heinous misuse of Sirius and her radio branding and she was trying to profit off of it in an illegitimate way. CC info over email? Please, i would fire her too.

I just hope she takes responsibility for it. This will go down in the books as one of the stupidest things ever done. She destroyed her own trite career because she was dumb and greedy.

 
I had not even thought about it like that. Of course... she was using ‘wake up with taylor’ Which she didn’t own. That makes complete sense actually.

I was in the realm of her havin called out how many people not the air that actually work at Sirius and that she probably (finally) pissed off the wrong person... ie; “he kissed my shoulder” guy. Given the climate around harassment right now, I figured that mixed with her constant “people subscribe for me not Howard” repetition, she just pissed off thr wrong people. And.. “people here don’t like me, I know who you are.” And “Taylor and my mom say if I had a reality show it would hurt my image because I can be too outspoken and rude.”

Yeah so thanks again the the FB message board friend for introducing me this forum. I was calling out those FB WEIRDOS a lot and it was just pissing me off more then I’d like to admit. Dumb people. WHOA. Happy to be in a real actual discussion about a public personality and realistic situations and not the “my life hasn’t been the same since she left!” cry. Lmao.

We’re happy to have you! Those chicks need a real therapist, not one who wants to play one on a Summer House.

Welcome from me as well!!
