Tuesday September 15,was the birthday of Myrna Ford mother of city councilman Edmund Ford Jr. After the council meeting on Tuesday Ford was driving fellow council member Janis Fullilove home who can not drive due to her present legal problems. As the two city officials pulled out of the city garage on Front street Fullilove after hearing that it was Mrs. Ford's birthday stated that she would like to present her with a bottle of wine.Edmund Ford Jr. stopped at a liquor store on Front Street where Fullilove exited Ford's SUV and went in and made the purchase. As Fullilove returned to the SUV Wreg's Keli Rabon met her with mic in hand questioning her as to why she was coming out of the liquor store
Fullilove not driving or breaking any other law blew Rabon off with pleasant comments and returned to the SUV where Ford fulled off. Rabon out to get a story even if there was none begin sending emails (Which I have copies of) to Ford because she does not have his cell number.
Ford does not return media calls from his cell phone but returns calls either at the family funeral home or when he has breaks as a teacher at Central High School. After several emails and after Rabon contacted his mother he returned her call where she told him that the station had been following Fullive for four months and that she wanted to see the receipt from the wine that was purchased. Ford refused telling the stalking reporter that what the councilwoman had given his mother was none of her business and that Fullilove had broken no law.
Myrna Ford who went out to dinner with her husband Edmund Ford Sr. on Tuesday night and was unaware that her son had placed the bottle of wine in the fridge was unaware of what Rabon was speaking of when the reporter called her and stated that she had not received anything from Fullilove she then called her son who told her to look in the back of the fridge. Myrna Ford did however tell Rabon that she should be ashamed of herself for stalking Fullilove.
Neighbors of Fullilove often call her and tell her that they see WREG's vans in the community or parked down the street from her home. While the acts of the council woman have made the news for the past year or more does the TV station have the right to harass and stalk. No matter what your opinion of the legal plight of Fullilove may be she does have the right to live her life without a TV trying to just create a story when there is none.
Fulliove's entering or making a purchase at a liquor store is not against the law and thus is not a story. I wonder how many other city officials are being followed by WREG? Are we to think that only Fullilove drinks? Has any White city officials been followed? Some issues in a persons life is their personal business and not the business of the public.
What if I had reported that while sitting in a local downtown bar inside the BenchMark Hotel watching election night returns,I saw a gay reporter of WREG in a drunken state looking for his live in gay lover who happens to be a reporter at another local TV station?................YOU WILL SAY THAT'S THEIR PERSONAL BUSINESS,WHICH IS MY POINT.

The legitimate WREG reporter was doing exactly what the illegitimate investigated (sp) reporter, does all day and all night long as he snoops around with his mini camera while he whispers in the ear of his so called sources while breaking away only to photograph mutilated cadavers in the backroom of discount funeral parlors.
The difference between illegitimate Thad and a legitimate reporter is that Thad, being broke, is judgement proof which allows him to speculate and destroy as he blubbers within some seedy places.
Thad, can't you think before you post your stupid thoughts?
BUT WHERE WAS THE NEWS STORY? EVERY ONE KNOWS THAT JANIS DRINKS SHE BROKE NO LAW IN GOING IN THE STORE....... SO THE SO CALLED MAIN STREAM REPORTER HAS NO OTHER ISSUES TO REPORT OR IS IT THAT ONLY BLACK OFFICIALS DRINK?
who is the gsy rabbit reporter
who is the gsy rabbit reporter
What does this have to do with skin color?
This is tabloid journalism following a bleach blonde woman that has acted a fool many times and is one of the lawmakers of our city.
It's ridiculous but has nothing to do with color.
I have 5 year of soberity one day at a time and if I need to run to the store and buy liquor for a wedding,etc, doesn't mean that I am going to drink. There is someone somewhere always around in recovery, I am resonsible for Me and the relationship that I maintain daily with a God of my understanding. I said all of this to say WREG need to mind there own business, what ever is done in the dark will come to light. Where were they when she came to a meeting. My mom always said believe nothing that you here and half of what YOU see.Thanks Thad for the info.
you know and i know that janIS has a jones for "BLUE-TOP" VODKA
5:40,
I KNOW IT TAKES A LOT OF PRATICE TO BE AS STUPID AS YOU.
I know those fag reporters; one works for 3, the other for 5.
Thad 90% of your posts don't have a "NEWS STORY". And some of them..no most of them are just lies and sensible people know that..so don't hate on WREG.
Fullilove brought all this on herself....
Janice should have never went inside a liquor store...for no one. If you are battling acoholism, why in the hell would you think of buying a bottle of wine or liquor...for anyone. It sounds weak to me. I say Janice is making excuses. That's just like being on drugs...go to rehab, come out, its your friends birthday...for her gift, you get her some drugs for her birthday gift knowing very well you have no business being around drugs. Janice, that was real foolish of you.
I agree with Thad on this one. I AM NOT a Fullilove fan and beleive she should be in Jail. But this is not news. Everyone knows she is a DRUNK and she looks like a drunk. as long as she was not driving let her drink all the Wine she wants. Who gives a fuck what she drinks ? I do think the wine was for herself and not the mother. WHO puts a GIFT in the FRIDGE and not present it to her to let her know she had a gift. The biggest LIE ever told. Whoever game up with that LIE is not good at all. But like i say let her ass drink all she want it is NOT news.
Why were you at a gay bar Thaddeus?
So she is encouraging alchohol use by her friends?
tHE HOTEL WAS NOT A GAY BAR BUT THE BENCHMARK HOTEL WHERE THE REPORTER CAME IN DRUNK LOOKING FOR HIS LOVER IN HIS BLUE JEAN CUT OFFS SO DONT GET IT TWISTED.... AND
Like it or not, Janis Fullilove is a celebrity and thereby fair game for any reporter. Ms. Rabon merely wanted a scoop, but for some reason she missed the obvious.
It is not the wine purchase that enquiring minds want to know about, but what about the relationship she has with cool dude Edmund Ford, Jr? Janis is known to like her young men and all of Memphis know the reputation of the Ford men. Could it be that a little romance is brewing after council hours?
While anyone not just personalities are fair game the so called main streamed media has bragged about being above certain practices. Edmund Ford is not the only council person who takes Fullilove home and as will be seen in their story tonight is not the only council member to make a stop.
But was it their business to call Ford's mother to ask for a receipt of purchase?
If Janis doesn't want "bad press" then she shouldn't go in places that would give her that. She consistently shows very poor judgment in her decisions concerning her lifestyle when she knows that it will be used by the press
Since when do you worry about appropiate and newsworthy? This is the go to place for gossip, inuendo and personal bias. Not to mention terrible grammar and poor writing skills.
Janass Fullofit deserves every bit of the harrassment she gets. She signed on for being a public "personality" and has provided much fodder for our entertainment with her blonde moments and personal challanges. She is in it for her plain and simple. At least let her work for it.
Janis Fullilove and Edmund Ford Jr. an item? A few years ago, my doorbell rang and when I went to see who it was, there stood this attractive, shapely middle-aged woman who said she wanted to see my nephew, a strong, handsome, charming young man 25 years old with a reputation for romancing anything that moves. When I told her that my nephew was not at home, she said to just tell him that Janis had come by and he knew where to reach her. After she left I recognized her as the one and only Ms. Janis Fullilove. Now Edmund Ford Jr. bears a strong resemblance to my nephew: strong, handsome, charming, and, above all, young. And we are to conclude that nothing is going on? Enquiring minds want to know, Mr. Matthews, enquiring minds want to know.
Edmund Ford, Jr. has the physical appearance of a terrorist, wouldn't you say?
Edmund Ford, Jr. is used to working with politicians under indictment. He has probably driven the get a way car many times for impaired relatives and other politicians. He may have the drive by talent, but is it good enough for the office he holds. Certainly the name Ford should disqualify him from the start, but then the voters spoke through their eyes rather than their mind.
9:52am
Why in the FUCK was a 25 year of Man living with your Stupid ass ? Sounds like a FAT lie to me. Go sit your idiot ass down and stop putting lies out on Mr. Ford. Can't he give the Women a ride home if he want. No one wants your ulgy ass Nephew and you know it. YOU WISH the hell you did have someone in your ULGY ass Family that looks like a FORD. WISH on you bastard.
"years ago, my doorbell rang and when I went to see who it was, there stood this attractive, shapely middle-aged woman" 9:52 you must be sick or need glasses to refer to janis as such click on to see if you want to take back your comment and ed ford jr. is not attractive either
seven years ago I saw Thad at a whore house. He was trying to get a white girl, but he didn't have enough cash. So he settled for a sister. Is that news?
C'mon Thad!! Let's call a nigger ho a nigger ho! Man you know she is out boozing, taking pain killers, snorting ridlin and fucking any color dude to get the money to support her habits. I told you repeatly I have proof but you won't post my blogs againest the bitch! You must be banging her to Thad! Are you supplying the LoraTabs to her? Maybe I just need to call WREG and get a real reporter to expose this HO! She makes me ashamed to be black! Man I hope old Vernon makes that Ho brush het teeth before he kisses her!! If not... he can taste cracker dick! I think since you are fucking her to Thad.... it will be easier and faster to make a list of dudes with money and power she is not fucking and sucking!! Vernon Chalmers must be a dam loser to put up with her shit. Dam man must be broke! I know he ain't got NO Ball's!Her daughter's Janeen and Shamala are following in Mammy's slutty footsteps! Hoing they way to the top!

What about this article Thad? Is it lies also? Man you niggers sho stick together! It makes hard working black folks look bad!
Edmund Ford Jr. is no more than a hack school teacher who came into office as a result of vote by color, by crook. At the time he was elected by the same people who voted for his under indictment father, he was only one of thousands, but his appeal to the voters was there, based on color and notoriety.
The reporter is wrong for stalking her, but she knows she is under scrutiny. Why not just have bought a box of candy. Don't give them reason to persecute her, although she has the right to go into a liquor store.
Janis' sobriety and recovery is her business and God's business first and her faimily's second. You can not control what another adult chooses to do. Remember that if you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem.
Kind of hard to defend her with visits to three different liquor stores.She will screw up again before long,,flip out a a meeting.Need to kick the old ugly bitch off the council.
The Keli Rabon story on Channel 3 last night revealed that Janis Fullilove at her age is still a strikingly beautiful woman with a lot of pep in her step. Forget the silly wine purchase or who it was for. None of that matters. Ms. Fullilove is finding it difficult to overcome her addiction and we should be praying for her recovery instead of trashing her at every opportunity. There are entirely too many of us who have become mean-spirited and just plain lowdown. Lay off of Janis Fullilove and pick on somebody else who deserves this kind of torment.
All of the ignorant ass people who wouldn't know fact if it hit them on the head. They want to talk about Edmund Ford, Jr. but don't know what they're talking about. Bring some facts and back it up! Oh I'm sorry you can't or don't want to then you won't have anything to write.
Anonymous 10:53, you still are mad that his father was acquitted. He was not guilty. Get over it! A majority WHITE jury made that decision and its probably killing you inside. Also, Ford Jr. is the Councilman; if you got a problem with that, vote him out, even though I don't see why because he's working hard in his community. Oh I know, you probably don't live in the district he represents or in the city. You probably live in a trailer with your wife...I mean cousin...same thing...oops!
"Hack teacher"? You're a true dumbass. He had an almost 100% pass rate on the Gateway exam at Central High School. His students learn and graduate. Have you been to his classroom? No you haven't. You just want to be heard by idiots just like you. You probably can't count or spell and you're probably white trash living off of the welfare. Do you have a diploma?
Anonymous 1:22 and 1:26, you have no life, probably no job, don't vote, and can barely type. You are of no use in society whatsoever. 1:26 look at yourself in the mirror. You probably wished you looked like him; you probably are uglier and look like a baboon's ass.
Edmund Jr. you seem like an intelligent and caring person. You have a promising future. Its good to help people.
However, sometimes people make their beds so hard to lay in and when they drag good people in - like you helping them - it hurts people like you.
I know you mean well but the company you keep is still the name you can establish for yourself unawares.
Just pay somebody else to transport her. Don't smear your good name and trust up with her.
You know the bible say, "let not your good be evil spoken of". Don't hurt yourself like this.
That bitch ain't know news reporter. Thats the biggest damn problem with those so called news station they lazy and they do more cheap tabloid gossip reporting Bullschitt. Things like YaYa pregnant - who gives a damn about a Panda bear in the zoo on a news channel. The news reporting on american idol -why don't they get some reals news instead of tabloid -TMZ stories.
What kind of news reporter is that - reporting JanisF. went to the liquor store. The bitch boss should find that repulsive and a bullshit joke and fire the so call reporter. I am sick of those tabloid news reporting folks anyway.
thats the price you pay when you are in the spotlight..if she don't like it tell fullilove to go sack groceries which she is probably more qualified for than being a drunk cith council woman................some people in the spotlight can't even go to the beach without being photographed....just deal with it
Anonymous 1:12 p.m.,you have gone into a rage about nothing concerning celebrity gossip about Janis Fullilove and Edmund Ford, Jr., because that's all it is---gossip. You assume too much, and your vulgar ghetto language speaks volumes about your educational level as well as your mentality. But beware: if your young friend is unable to resist the sweet charms of this ancient seductress, romantic sparks could fly, and a scandal could emerge right there from the City Council.
I have been sober for a while now and I did not go to a liquor store in my 1st few years of soberity but with 20 years on day at a time I go there an cash my check, Janis need to get honest with herself this DISEASE is killing an taking names those who don't understand should show have empathy....... Janis choose another gift and stay out of the liquor store like they say if you go to the barber shop long enough you are going to get a hair cut......
The story doesn't even air until tonight. And it is not once, but THREE DIFFERENT times that WREG caught Fullilove on Camera walking out of a liquor store.
I'm going to watch. She's an elected official, that is the difference between her and other people's personal lives. Obama drinking beer didn't make top headlines? I think it did.
Terrorist, political hack, not attractive---some of the descriptions posters have of Edmund Ford, Jr. With comments like these, characterizing Edmund Jr. as another Ford playboy seems like a compliment.
Ain't nobody stalking Janis Fullidrugs ass!!!!! Whatever publicity she gets, she deserves she brought it on herself. Buying the wine as a gift for Mrs Ford? yeah right.....so the other two times they caught her holding a sack coming out the liquor store on tape who's birthday was that? Janis?
Punk boy (Bobby Ojay) talked about her this morning. He don't know JACK SHIT about nothing. He's only 5' 2". Poor little fellow. Now have a good one.
I am sick of those tabloid news reporting folks anyway.

So you come to this trashy ass blog to get your fill of good journalism? Hahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahaha. Idiot!
SO THE SO CALLED MAIN STREAM REPORTER HAS NO OTHER ISSUES TO REPORT OR....
Blah, blah, blah...the so-called blogger named Thad has nothing to write about so he makes shit up.
Same damn difference. So you are just another god damned pot calling the kettle black.
Your kind are the most racist bunch that could ever live. So fuck off with your snotty crying about these po' po' innocent (not) black folk getting the attention they crave and brought on themselves with their own BS character flaws.
After the council meeting on Tuesday Ford was driving fellow council member Janis Fullilove home who can not drive due to her present legal problems.
_____________________________
DUE TO JANICE having NO RESPECT for the law and driving drunk and lying to the state of Tennessee by getting another license because of her FRAUD.
If the sensitive whiney fuckers can't stand living in a fish bowl, I suggest they get their silly asses off of the public servant roll.
Boo fucking hoo!!!
Tom Powell of Channel 3 and Jason Miles of Channel 13 are the gay (lovers)reporters that were at the Benchmark.
Anonymous 5:07 a.m., you appear threatened by the comments of 1:22 p.m. and 1:26 p.m. as well as the comments of some of the other posters. Just be grateful that when Edmund and Janis were alone in his SUV, no one noticed the vehicle when it was parked rocking back and forth. So you win: these two are not having an affair. But don't say that people look like a baboon's ass when you could not win a beauty contest yourself.
this is some bullshit we have 7000
mickeyfickeys running for mayor and all they come come up with is this let us talk about Kiner Kash
taking all to money from the children making cuts and the children still don't have books or that Myron Lowery is a damn fool send out that what important not what Ms. Fullilove does on her own time Hell anyone over 21 call buy as much wine wiskey blue top as they want MIND YO OWN DAM BUSINESS
"Don't give them reason to persecute her, although she has the right to go into a liquor store."
They don't let sex perverts get near little children. Why should they let an alcoholic near a liquor store? The little girl that Janis injured while under the influence of alcohol can be more seriously hurt as the injuries received where an automobile becomes a lethal weapon.
A recovering alcoholic stays clear of alcohol in any form. If anyone believes these two F'in liers, Ford and Fullilove, then they contribute to the mess this city is experiencing.
5:07 a.m. is probably one of the lower rung members of the Ford family who feels that the entire Ford family is under attack and must be defended. But any local celebrity is going to get his/her share of unfair criticism because they live in glass houses and are always excellent targets. I am sure that Edmund Ford, Jr., is getting a chuckle out of all this commotion and is surprised by some of the hysteria of a few friends or ill-tempered family members. A good public official must remain calm, cool, and collected at all times and simply ignore meaningless public chatter. To do otherwise is to show a lack of basic intelligence and common sense.
"Ms. Fullilove is finding it difficult to overcome her addiction and we should be praying for her recovery instead of trashing her at every opportunity."
Poster, let her pray for herself. For most folks there are better causes than this self destructive
misfit with the loud mouth.
Janis Fullilove would be thought of in a better way if she would just remove herself from the city council. This city does not need a person with the shakes and a craving for booze voting on important government issues.
Janis should be treated like any other individual that shows up on the job with alcohol in their blood stream. Pay'em for the day, call and pay for a cab to get them off the premises.
"Kind of hard to defend her with visits to three different liquor stores.She will screw up again before long,,flip out a a meeting.Need to kick the old ugly bitch off the council."
8:18 AM
Only a fool would believe any statement made by a Ford or an alcholic nit wit going by the reputation of Janis Fullishix. When they next pull her up off of the pavement she will probably be claiming that she thought she was in a pharmacy, not a liquor store.
Story goes that he "pharmacist" asked he for the dosage on her prescription. Janis replied, "Three fingers in a short bottle".
"The Keli Rabon story on Channel 3 last night revealed that Janis Fullilove at her age is still a strikingly beautiful woman with a lot of pep in her step. "
Good god, your kidding, right ?
My God, My God, she's an abomination.
Actually Thaddeus, those two above mentioned reporters are married, or as married as you can get in Vegas.
Thaddeus. . .Miss Rabon is an investigative reporter as ANON states. She was INVESTIGATING to see if there was a story because as you well know (being the thorough credible "journalist" that you are) that Janis Fullilove has numerous DUI charges, has attended city council meetings intoxicated, has lied and tried to cheat her way out of trouble and into a license. It's not an issue of whether any WHITE officials drink. It's a question of has Ms. Fullilove confronted and dealt with her OBVIOUS drinking problem. You are so quick to jump on Myron Lousy as you call him but you want to DEFEND a drunk city council woman who can't clearly represent her constituents because she's too damn drunk all the time. Mr. Matthews, I am a black woman and Miss Fullilove's behavior is an embarrassment to me as a professional and should be to you as well. But then again you have the nerve to call Myron a Bubble Butt and you're running around town in red leisure suits looking like a big ass tomato. But I digress. Anyhoo - Miss Rabon is doing her job by doing research under the auspice that there may be a story relevant to Memphians. Stop trying to play the race card all the time and stick with the facts.
There should be random drug testing for all city employees. I am sure Janis has Rx's for pain meds, but is she fully competent to perform her duties as councilman while under the influence? Is she fully competent to teach in Mississippi while under the influence? How does she get back and forth to her teaching job in Mississippi without a drivers' license? How can she deny Memphis city workers the right to work if they live outside Memphis when she herself works outside the state? curious in every facet.....Her actions have shown her to be a corrupt, drug addicted, gambling addicted, alcoholic woman who is a complete danger on the road. She made death threats to Janice Broach and nothing was done about that. Does wee willie go to bat for her?
Sounds like sour grapes to me. I think you tried to pick up the reporter at the Benchmark, but were rejected, so you are backhandedly trying to "out" the two reporters to get even...very passive agressive of you, Matthews.
Another case of whitey going after a sister for simply being a lying, drunk, pill-popping, drunk driving, lying, car-wrecking, gambling, lying public servant.
Shame on this reporter for ignoring the race card.
Janis should have used the wine bottle right and smacked the taste out of her mouth with it....then used "I was under the influence of drugs" as her defense.
Since, they are expecting her to do something crazy, if I were in her shoes I would do it. THEY NEED TO JUST GIVE THE LADY SOME SPACE!!!
THADDYBEAR-
"CONGRATULATIONS! YOU HAVE OVER 1/2 MILLION VIEWERS ON SYNC-LIVE!"
Remember the circus freak shows that used to come to Memphis where there was a barker named Thaddeus, possibly, that conned dumb asses to view the same thing that you can find on this blog, and it cost you nothing more than identifying yourself as a pervert.
Bring on the shot up brothers, Mr. Matthews, your fans are waiting.
Listen here MelloYello72301 you needs to stop bad mouthing the white folks! They is one of the reasons you can stay home all day and eat Bon Bon's and drank your own Urine. See the white folks work and pay taxes so us lazy worthless niggers like me and you can lay around on our FAT asses and draw a welfare check from them taxes they pay. So STFU and drank some mo Urine and fantasize about sucking ol ThaddyBears Cock. Do you drink that shit warm? Right out of the ol pee hole? Dam bitch....you is nasty!
janis needs JESUS and i have been praying for her that HE will deliver her. cause until you have been in her shoes we can't talk about her or anyone else.only GOD can deliver her and anyone in her condition. and i beleive HE WILL HELP HER.IN JESUS NAME AMEN.
