motorcitymom65 July 4, 2017 Share July 4, 2017 Bringing this over from the divorce thread, because I love our mods, and I want them to love me too... TO quote Dorinda, "there are pictures." Tinsley has a photographic history of her abuse. I don't necessarily think the claim that Tinsley might not be being 100% honest about all that went down, or is sharing all the details, is saying that folks don't believe she was abused. It seems like there is a lot of evidence that she was and I haven't heard anyone claim otherwise (I feel like I need to add this almost as a disclaimer to all my Tinsley posts). 3 Link to comment

breezy424 July 5, 2017 Share July 5, 2017 Dale didn't file charges because of her daughter, the publicity, maybe her own embarrassment, and going up against a high powered family. Add, that Tinsley probably didn't want her to either. DV is such a dirty little secret that too many people don't want to talk about and then there's the tisk tisk that the victim is at fault. It's truly screwed up. 11 Link to comment
lunastartron July 5, 2017 Share July 5, 2017 (edited) Practically speaking, it's not like it would be that simple for Dale to file charges if the only witness (Tinsley) was uncooperative. Edited July 5, 2017 by lunastartron 5 Link to comment

I'm going to ignore her arrest because it was all part of a very dysfunctional abusive relationship. An arrest because her billionaire ex-boyfriend beat the crap out of her and manipulated her into violating the restraining order against her is very different than Thomas' arrests for cocaine possession and distribution and a DUI. Plus he has two kids from his off and on relationship with unstable and immature Kathryn. Though they both have arrests, they are not in the same league. Tinsley is from an upper middle class family. Topper's family is very wealthy and connected in a way that surpasses Thomas'. Even Nico Fanjul's family wealth and influence surpasses Thomas'. Tinsley is out of Thomas' league. 6 Link to comment

I'll bet they'd be unintentionally hilarious on a date together though. Whitney from SC would likely be a better match for her. They both love dogs and fashion and his fabulous society maven mother Patricia would adore her! But that's nice that she seems to be so happy with her latest rich fellow. Hopefully he treats her well and makes her happy. Edited July 6, 2017 by Sun-Bun 5 Link to comment

But Fanjul kept the relationship clandestine and mainly confined to after-hours hookups. In December 2012, they embarked on an often-secretive relationship, which only ended earlier this month, according to a source. The two stuck to dates at less sceney restaurants in West Palm Beach so as to not be spotted by his disapproving family, who allegedly thought Mortimer was too old and not good enough for Fanjul, and her friends, who had heard of their altercations and wanted her to cut ties. 3 Link to comment

Even with her current PTSD suffering due to dealing with her recent arrest/abuse/fall from grace, it's just a variation of the same "Poor Tinsley the victim" theme from this show highlighting her suffering from her recent separation and struggling to rebuild herself socially/mentally. She looks the same, dresses the same and acts the same: still smooching on random younger men, still whining about her recent struggles, still spinning her social wheels while shopping/partying her cares away....although at least she secured herself that fabulous loft apartment in Midtown/Chelsea back then---I still intensely covet that place, antiques and all. I'm guessing it was only a 1-2 year lease or so since she left to move down to Florida not too much longer after that. Still beats living in a hotel or living in Sonia's daughter's bedroom; and what about Tinsley's multiple chihuahuas? Where are they staying these days?? I still like her and all, but Tinsley really could stand to freshen things up and try on a new style and attitude already.

Some people tend to never evolve past their self-perceived era of greatness, or when they were truly their happiest/most successful.

We now know that Kelsey was using the show to give Camille the housewife heave-ho. Adrienne was on to publicize all of the Maloof businesses; they're not doing as well as they used to, but they still have more than a billion dollars.
