Post Let Lisa Bloom know how you feel for basically killing Gary

If anyone can find her email from all the different shows she is on.. post it here!

Here is her Twitter -
http://twitter.com/lisabloom

Here is a person with TV Show "The Insider" wanted to push a troubled guy over the edge! Everyone has done this joke of making fun of yet another 1980's star! For some reason it is still ok to have Gary & other 1980's child stars as a punchline to every joke.

You have Charlie Sheen watching porn, going with hookers, doing drugs, etc etc etc... but barely gets joked on because he is making $2 Million an episode. BUT on the sameday Corey Haim dies and we hear lies about overdosing.

The Insider had Gary on a bunch of times and it was so easy to get to him, make fun of him and get what they wanted.. a guy flip out on the show! Clearly he had health issues.

Let Lisa Bloom know how you feel and ask her how she feels about "helping" to kill Gary Coleman. Its so easy to see he was going down hill and he was tried of being pushed.

Howard Stern's callers, which are prescreened/fake callers pushed Diana. Sure its a joke and we know this and that. BUT I think anyone can tell in the middle of the "preplanned" joke with Gary or Diana and seeing these 2 aren't well.

A normal caring person would stop!

I respectfully disagree, nobody killed Gary or had a hand in his death. He was a very sick man & God felt it was his time to go.

On the topic...I don't think Bloom killed Gary but her kind of aggressive "I already know the truth and you've got to prove yourself innocent to me because I've decided you're guilty" questioning is abhorrent, but typical of modern "legal analysts".

Obviously, if someone strikes his wife that's horrible and wrong and that behavior must be punished. But I am so sick of these self appointed avengers on television basically telling the viewer what he or she should think. That is what an ACTUAL court of law is for. Now you have people saying ON AIR that 'so and so is guilty' and that is a disgrace to our entire system of justice (though to be fair, it does a pretty good job of disgracing itself).

You know who Lisa Bloom's mother is?She's none other than bigshot attorney Gloria Allred,who is just as aggressive-and just as not compasionate-as Lisa.

Watch it again for yourself, it seems like from the comments allot more people are agreeing!

Sure she wasn't the biggest reason, but that show clearly knew what they were doing.

I think that Gary did the right thing by getting up and walking out. Had he stayed there, he more than likely would have done something that he might have regretted doing later on.

He got mad because he felt that his buttons were being pushed too far.

They KNEW that he's not an easy person to try to get along with, which prompted him to lash out. Lisa Bloom was putting him on the spot and didn't wait for Gary to answer one question first before hammering away at him with the next one. They knew that it wouldn't be long before they woke up a sleeping Frankenstien!

Gary started using profanity and was boiling mad, so he told them where to go and walked away. It was the gentlemanly thing to do.

obviously she didn't kill him but she is just a straight-out bitch that planned to intentionally do everything she possibly could to get Gary pissed off and insulted him to try and get him to react and get her show bigger ratings.

According to this report Gary was weak after the treatment for his congenital kidney disease. He slipped and fell and that's what killed him. It was a horrible accident. That doesn't mean I excuse Lisa Bloom for doing what she did. She ambushed him and used him for her tabloid show. These tabloid reporters get great satisfaction in tearing down celebrities. Gary had a lot of problems. He was a very unhappy person. It's a shame what happened to him after the DS years.

This, in a sense, was just another unfortunate nail in the coffin for Gary.

He was a sick man, and it seems as though they went to every conceivable manuever their sick childish minds can think of to get Gary riled up. What a shame!

The sad thing is, Gary should have been set for life from all that money he made from DS. He shouldn't have had to worry about anything other than his health. He should have been able to vanish from Hollywood if he had wished that.

I wish just once Lisa Bloom would be on the RECIEVING end of a ruthless cross-examination-like questioning she gave Gary.,to know EXACTLY how he felt.

The closing moments of that interview;

(Bloom) "Why aren't you denying any of these accusations? Do you or do you not abuse your wife? Do you hit her at all? You talk that way to your wife?"

(Gary) "If I have to. if I need to, but I don't."

"I don't like her. She's starting to get on my nerves and she's pushing my buttons. They can all go to hell. You can go to the same place!! You can walk of the same plank and drown yourself in the ocean. You can go F yourself. And you know what? I'm leaving now because I've had enough of this!!"

(Bloom) "Gary, come back."

(Gary) "No. F you!!"

Gary was then seen in a later episode in the studio's parking lot making gesters on the way to his awaiting limo.

It was also reported that he had suffered a seizure backstage on the set. An emergency call was made to 911 to summon an ambulence.

I think that they worked his nerves to a frazzle, and in so doing, Gary was too upset to calm down and the tension from it all most likely brought on the seizure. He was rushed to the hospital then.

They pushed him to the breaking point.

Another thing that we'll never know because I wondered if he would reappear in a later episode on the show to try to set the record straight in a more calmer mood.

He did exactly what they were looking for him to do. Leave there in a bitter mood! So sad!
