Bachelorette 13 - Rachel Lindsay - SM Media - *Sleuthing Spoilers* Discussion - #4

This is how RS has done things in the past. He suggests possible monetary compensation. So now he apparently, goes back on that word? Or suggests that was never a possibility? Because this is not the first or second time I have heard this. Nor the third.

Good on Jade IMO! I'd need about a million to talk to RS for an hour or two. And he makes his money off these people, so they're stupid to give him content for free IMO.

@mindless Check that you mean five million for an hour.

He hasn't paid any of his podcast guests and none before this have asked for compensation. It's a silly one hour conversation. I can't imagine asking for payment for that. Then again, this is Jade and her whole life is sponsored so it's no surprise she'd do this. I just find it ridiculous. Well and funny because I'm now picturing her asking for compensation for every little media tidbit she shares and some of those people probably laugh on her face.

JMOAA

it's not just jade. i listen to a lot of different podcasts on different subjects and guests dont get paid for appearances. they do it to keep their name current. jade be dumb.

But why give RS an hour he will certainly make money from? Are they friends? He isnt anyone important, just an opportunist like all the others. I see nothing wrong in deeming one's time valuable. She doesnt need or have to be on his podcast as she is doing okay shilling. so if he wants her bbad enough, he should pay! IMO

BTW, I am not a diehard Jade fan, I just dont see why people should toe RS's line.

It's a simple yes/no thing.
Do you want to do this? Yes or no?
Will you do this interview? Yes or no?
Do you compensate? Yes or no?
Will you do this for free? Yes or no?
Done.
There are members here who have dealt with this slime ball for years and when he does not get what he wants he schemes, twists and manipulates. Nothing is simple with him when it's not his way. I have seen this first hand. Not just my first hand. I have seen this with others sharing their first hand with me.
She may be of the same ilk. So add two peas of from the same pod and you get pea soup. JMO

Exactly!! Why call her out just to make her seem like a money grubbing person that you yourself are? If he was a decent human being, he would have moved on and booked someone else.

He makes his money from spoiling and writing about a tv show he doesnt contribute to producing, so he is no better than the person asking for compensation. Both leeches. IMO

Preach it mama. The reason this dude was able to turn this into a "career" is because he had the dumb luck of being chosen to expose the Jason fiasco. Since then it's been bribery, manipulation, and plain old butt-kissing to keep himself relevant. Now all of a sudden he wants to put on airs? Please. If he doesn't want to pay this contestant, tell her/ him that and keep it moving.

I don't see what the big deal is. If Jade doesn't think it's worth her time to do it for free then more power to her IMO. I guess she's not desperate enough and she gets points from me for that, anyone would, even if it was Robby. JMO.

Good for Jade imo maybe pregnancy brain is actually helping a lady for once
