Is Chrisann Brennan really that much of a piece of *beep* ?


I seriously feel sorry for Lisa, stuck between an insane, egocentric megalomaniac and a gold digging, pathetic wench. Wow.

She might be nutty and selfish but she wasn't a gold digger. She was with Jobs in high school. Well before Jobs hit it big with Apple.

Explain how she's a piece of s**t? She was abandoned with a kid that was proven to be his, and she had no support. She was asking for $380 a month, or something like that, and she's a gold digger?

She did ask for $25 million in ~2005, she even asked Job's widow for this money.

Aida:
She asked for $25 mil, not $380 a month. $380 a month is what he WAS paying already. And Jobs later bought her a house and a car. Most importantly, he paid for his daughter's education--at Harvard, no less. The mom SQUANDERED the money and assets he gave her and was begging him for money right up until he died whilst blackmailing him with a book that painted him as a monster. She was scum. Even today, she's trying to squeeze money out of his memory. She's constantly ruining things for herself and blames him for it.

Yes she was and is. Jobs was a monstruous jerkoff, but as a Wozniak line in the movie says, it's not binary : the man can be a meany at the same time as Brennan can be a flaky, lazy narcissistic hippie who trapped somebody with her uterus. The way she behaved many times throughout Lisa's unbringing is quite telling. Wasting money doesn't really matter because Big Poppa Steve is rolling in it. So let's go around and whine about being on welfare, but then let's buy expensive antiques and then later sell them for peanuts because I need money right now. Let's spend $1500 1988 dollars on blessing a house Jobs finally bought for the kid to grow up in. Let's sell that big house for nothing and then go travel Europe on the spoils.

But what takes the cake is that she offered Jobs not to publish her memoir if he would provide her with $28 million. Most people would call that blackmail.

It's evident she's indeed a piece of s***. Zero sympathy for that hippie.
