Welcome to Someone Else’s Home: The BrendaD Ickson Story - Part III 🥔 🥗

Part Too.

Very clever OP! Got the potato salad in the photo as well as the emojis in the title. Bravo.

I didn't realize Brendad appeared on Love Boat. When did her episode(s) air?

She’s going to have an animalistic meltdown if they try to take her away.

Well, hello to part three!

I should have put three 🥔🥔🥔 instead of writing III. Oh, well. Let’s finish off Part Too before we get this one officially going.

Well hello, and welcome to the dumpster behind the venue where Roger Neals throws his Hollywood has-been parties!

If she's blocked you on Instagram then this is what you'll see:

Shouldn't it say, "Well, goodbye!"

R2 She wasn't on The Love Boat. There are programs on the Internets that let you put a photo in the recognizable Love Boat frame and download it.

Brendad is on “Fantasy Island” 24/7.

Teh Bells and Aaron Spling were in kahoots and kept Brendad off the ❤️ Boat!

Brendad would have been perfect for Love Boat. Now I'm scratching my head wondering why Match Game saw her as such a good guest, but Love Boat didn't. What a missed opportunity.

And don't blame the Bells. Love Boat ran from 1977 to 1986. Brendad was still on good terms with the Bells during that time.

Well hello, Welcome to my Love Boat.

Even as a gay kid I thought she had nice tig bitties.

She was gorgeous when she started on TYATR. I remember it well.

was she ever on the love boat? I would love to see that.

And if she fell overboard she's already equipped with personal flotation devices.

R16 meet R9.

I admire how her eyes mismatch and turn from two different planes, in a Picasso-esque flourish. The cosmetic surgeon was a true artiste moderne.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

What does she live on, really?

She is one of those incomprehensible people who somehow keep going with relentlessly self-absorbed demented absurdity.

She hasn't been the same since the jail times, meaning she went from cuckoo to full-on cray cray.

Brenda’s entire existence dances on a thin veil of plausible deniability, blaming others, and outright denial when challenged.

My mom did this successfully for many years. The two most important aspects are that you float on a lie that repeated enough times becomes truth, and that you manage to alienate any and all friends willing to tell you the truth or advise you to tuck in your ego a bit.

Her argument was that she should stop paying the HOA because of a burst pipe in her condo- that’s not how it works AT ALL.

Owning a condo is NOT like a rental unit, and LATE is LATE- she needs to pay fees that over ALL THESE YEARS the other board members have to make other arrangements or pay additional assessments end of year to make up for the money she didn’t pay into, The added paperwork, hiring a lawyer, and all the back and forth required to tabulate and track down deadbeat owners requires extra hours and resources. Condo boards are regulated and required to keep a cushion of funds for emergencies and planned capital repairs over the years.

When I bought my condo, we are responsible to pay for any plumbing that juts out of the walls- the HOA pays for clogs, leaks, etc. that happen within the walls or underground. As a member of an HOA I enjoy group benefits aside of my own condo, swimming pool, water bill paid, flood insurance, etc. THAT STILL NEED TO BE PAID every month whether I am dissatisfied or not.

When I used too much Draino, and the drain under the sink connecting to the wall became corroded and leaked, it was on MY dime to pay for it.

If there was a catastrophic failure of a pipe, I would call the management company that would file a case with the insurance company to make necessary repairs and if needed put me in a hotel until the pipe is fixed and pay for any cleanup or damages.

It is also HIGHLY UNLIKELY it is one person’s decision or retribution as Brenda alludes to over and over- a well run HOA uses legal counsel to make prudent and lawsuit resistant decisions because they want to avoid costly lawsuits, and the management companies manage dozens of other complexes and have seen and dealt with with lots of people like Brenda.

This is/was all just a ploy to avoid paying.

Well hello! Welcome to my veneers.

You'd think her firsht ex-hushband would let bygonesh be bygonesh and give her shome new cozmetic dentistry work for free, since that's hish specshelty.

Her ex-husband seemed like a pussy. She probably bosses him around and his mother demanded that he divorce her.

She lives on social security and hooking for the blind.

BrendaD’s massive tatas.

She’s turning into Angelyne.

Bodacious!

If that bitch starts selling shit out of the truck of her car, I’m suing!

Ahh, but Brendad doesn't have a pink Corvette like Angelyne does.

I bet the registration tags on Brenda’s car expired in 1993, and the interior is littered with Gelson’s potatoe salad containers and autographed copies of her book.

I've wondered before if that (2003) Mercedes CLK, she's previously been seen driving (ref: R28) was something she bought or was just leasing? .. In some video not that long ago, she mentioned that she didn't have enough money to get her car repaired. There are two different buses she could take to get her the 8 blocks to Gelson's.

It's time to go see that Elvish Preshley movie again, because it's (not) hish birthday today.

New demented video. BrendaD is everything: an actress, a filmmaker, a real estate developer, an astronaut, a US senator, a…

r28 - where on earth did you get that raw, unfiltered photo of Brendad??

r34 - she actually admitted online that she didn't have enough money to repair her car? I didn't realize she ever let the facade down to that degree.

"Some" of the people on this thread might want to dial down their sanctimonious MAGAT rants elsewhere on DL.

Now I will be FFd. But I will be back to say it again. If this thread is a hiding place for MAGATs it will be closed..

Why do I have the suspicion that it's the people who go around saying "I will be FFd" who are actually the ones FF'ing posts left and right?

Try again MAGAT r39

R40 is NOT taking the opioids as prescribed.

[quote]"Some" of the people on this thread might want to dial down their sanctimonious MAGAT rants elsewhere on DL. Now I will be FFd. But I will be back to say it again. If this thread is a hiding place for MAGATs it will be closed..

Genuinely asking, WTF are you talking about, R38? I know Brendad is a MAGAT, but I don't see any MAGA nonsense in this thread. What am I missing? Are you hearing voices again?

They turn up on other threads r42

To qualify, r42 when I see an extreme racist post, or an extreme homophobic post, or an an extreme MAGA post, i look it up, place it on ignore to see who I am dealing with I dont FF unless it is particularly egregious.

This thread is severely infected with a poster who is a racist MAGA.

However, their posts here do not reflect that side for the most part.

Brendad attracts the crazies to her threads. What a surprise! 😮

This thread is severely infected and R44 is here to drain the pus!

R38, wrong thread.

Unfortunately not 470

R44 - ah. Okay. I mean... I hate MAGATs, too, but that's bordering on a little obsessive. I think you just have to accept that DL attracts its fair share of reactionary, right wingers. And, YES, there are plenty of right wing gays... even if they choose not to describe themselves that way. It's the demo on here... I mean, if you were born in the 1970s, you're a youngster on here.

Such up about MAGA and let’s get back to BrendaD!

BrendaD as Angelyne. Brengelyne

I wonder if BrendaD ever stands outside the CBS lot, and hurls obscenities and potatoe salad containers at Eileen Davidson and Melody Thomas Scott as they drive in.

R36 "They stoled my home."

Oh, Brendad.

R37 Yes, she said that about her car. And that's why I remember it, because, like you, I was surprised that she would admit that.

Another time she admitted how broke she is was during last year's court case about all the money she owes the HOA. She told the judge in the case that she didn't have enough money to hire a lawyer. She also said that she'd originally found an attorney who took her case pro bono, but then said that he quit after he found out that the plaintiff wasn't a bank or mortgage company. So that's why she had to go forward "pro se" (defending herself).

I guess when she calls herself a "filmmaker," she's referring to her blockbuster video, "Welcome to My Home."

Isn't there an attorney or paralegal on DL that could help BrendaD? Of course, it is likely impossible given the situation she's in legally. She needs to let social services help her, but she's probably not willing to yet. I'm pretty sure they would be able to prevent her from ending up homeless given her age and lack of financial resources. If she can't even repair her car or hire an attorney, she has likely exhausted any savings and maxed out her credit cards. Since social security is based on an average of your highest 35 years of earnings, hers is likely not very high. She would have earned a decent salary as an actress, but that was only about 11 years. That leaves a lot of zeros to be averaged in. She may also get a small pension, but again, she worked so few years that it's not likely to be much at all. I did a quick google search for what income qualifies for Section 8. For an elderly individual in Los Angeles, Section 8 eligibility, specifically the Housing Choice Voucher Program, is primarily determined by income and household size, with a focus on low-income households. Generally, the gross annual income of the household must be below 50% of the Area Median Income (AMI) for Los Angeles County. HUD sets specific income limits, which are adjusted based on the number of people in the household. For example, a single-person household might have a limit around $52,700, while a two-person household could be closer to $60,250. I seriously doubt our BrendaD has anywhere close to an annual income of $52K and virtually no net worth.

And she's a "real estate developer," because her mother's condo has gone up in value from 2008 to 2025 like every property in Southern California over the last two decades. .. This is what has allowed her to get not just one, but four loans against the place since she inherited it. Besides the lender who foreclosed on her and forced the current sale, county records indicate she has another loan against the place that she got in 2015 for $150K. That one is more like a 30-year mortgage with an adjustable interest rate, which she's supposed to be making monthly payments on until 2045.

R56 The wait time for HUD housing in L.A. County is long. One report states it can take up to two years, and that was before her beloved Trump started cutting social programs. They also give preference to families with children due to not wanting kids to be homeless. It's very doubtful they'd find her something on the Westside. They might find her something out in the eastern part of the county (i.e. godforsaken Pomona). She might do better in San Bernardino County or go out of state altogether. Maybe she should think about finding a roommate situation. Her credit rating must really suck.

[quote]Isn't there an attorney or paralegal on DL that could help BrendaD?

Zbornak had told her to call their friend's nephew who was a paralegal at Jacoby & Meyers, but Bdick ignored them.

R58 Those big tits will move her to the very front of the line. Between those 2 "assets" and her star power, she may get the first Section 8 apartment at the Beverly Hills hotel!

What do you suppose caused the disintegration of her last marriage?

R58. Dear God! Not Pomona!

You really wonder what the cause was, R61?

[quote]So that's why she had to go forward "pro se" (defending herself).

Pro se tute?

It came out in court that she had 150 feet of clothing (gowns and furs) at their home in Honolulu. Her unpaid bill at Neiman-Marcus alone was $35,000.

They measure her clothes in feet?

Oh, her closet.

Here is the infamous footage of BrendaD getting into a car accident with a bus. She posted this herself. She couldn’t afford the repairs.

Did the judge teleport into Brendad's Honolulu closet to measure the furs R65?

R68 Why in the world would she post that embarrassing video of her speeding up in front of a bus, cutting in and then slamming on the brakes. I'm surprised she doesn't have "Copyright by Brenda Dickson" in the video like she did with the eviction video from Hawaii.

She believes it shows that she wasn’t at fault.

R68 I'm assuming she's the one who got the ticket in this accident. Clearly, it was her fault.

R68 I just wanna know where she was going that day. To Gelson's? To the Hollywood Museum? To a ribbon cutting ceremony she wasn't invited to but planned to lurk around in front of anyway?

The County Recorder’s office—to see the latest default notices. She loved seeing her name in print.

[quote]Her unpaid bill at Neiman-Marcus alone was $35,000.

So -- like two pairs of shoes and a handbag?

BrendaD should break into the Y&R studio and start squatting in the Chancellor mansion set.

R66 During the divorce there was discussion about the property inside the Honolulu home and how it was going to be divided up as well as her argument that her ex- should pay for the shipping costs of her things back to Los Angeles; so that type of closet space dimension was presented.

She'd be meaner than Melania Trump in a divorce. I'm surprised one of her ex-husbands hasn't had her bumped off.

Oh Brendad, your days are numbered!

Her latest video from Friday 8/22.

She's shopping at Gelshon's and is buying mostly hoarganic!

And when she says "buying" I'm guessing she's using her CalFresh (SNAP) benefits on her EBT debit card.

Can you imagine seeing that giant faux cowboy hat coming at you in the aisles at Gelshon's?!

“Sir, sir. I need help. Don’t you know who I am?!” 🛒

Her book sold very well at that big Gelson's, but many fans later complained that Brendad's signature and personalized message on the inside cover were covered in smears of potato salad.

How the fuck can she afford Gelson's? She should be shopping at Grocery Outlet.

I wish we had Gelson's in SF. I really like potato salad (if there's not too much onion) and am curious to how good Gelson's potato salad is.

^ POTATOE!

Thank you, r80

I like her moxie! It’s a hard knock life, but she is making the most of it.

R80 I like it when she turns the phone around and there's that big guy in the gray t-shirt and white shorts looking at her like, "Who the fuck is this crazy broad?"

R80, continued thanks for screenshotting and posting for those of us Brendad has banned.

R80 I wonder if she's sitting in a motorized scooter in that video.

Itsh my indoor Mershedes!

Despite being a Trumptard, which at her age, is not uncommon, plus she's daffy as all get out- She really is a nice old broad. She's just utterly delusional, but maybe that delusional nature lets her enjoy life?

What's sad is she cannot run from eviction for long- maybe another month or two?

She's off her rocker in the most adorable way.

And she DOES look good for her age-

R91 At first I wondered that as well. but I think she's just sitting on a chair with a table in the deli area where people can eat their potatoe shalad if they want to dine there. In the middle of the video, you can see a table in front of her where she's put her sunglasses that she took off in the beginning.

That’s Gelson’s!

Gelson’s is an important part of her life. She can take a nice stroll, sit at the cafe for a while, do an insta story to remind us that they stocked her book 10 years ago —which sold quite well btw.

I am left wondering how she gets there. I know it isn’t far but I thought the red Mercedes was out of commission. She did mention that the HOA wouldn’t let her use valet parking so is it running, but still dented?

Who's minding the shop here? Didn't anyone, anyone at all, read this book before it went to press? I don't think so. No book after editorial scrutiny can be this badly put together to make its way to print. That is why I firmly believe that all the five-star reviews at Amazon.com and b n dot com are--yes, all--fakes. This is a pretty temerarious statement to make, yet every such review on these two websites sounds like a carbon copy of the other. Full of gushing praise, yet no mention of anything that is so obviously the editorial elephant in the room. I will bet that Dickson, or her proof reader Larry Link himself had a first-hand role in soliciting these five-star reviews from sycophant fans or friends.

Brendad has truly become a national treasure.

Well btw what? Btw aisles 7and 9? Or btw produce and the butcher?

It’s sold well in the space btw Brenda’s ears.

R97 It's pretty obvious that her book was "self-published." It shows the publisher being "Blue Boulevard Pubns" (2013). Per bookfinder, it's the one and only title that Blue Boulevard has ever published. And a company search at Zoom Info has a redirect to its website, which is brendadickson.com. As for the way she spells, etc., she has previously admitted to being dyslexic. I think I remember her saying that she'd mentioned this so many times n the past, that she wasn't going to talk about it anymore.

Here’s Brendad thanking an outfit called Design for Books Covers for their "invaluable" help designing her book cover (scroll down a bit). She probably got a discount in exchange for the endorsement, which she signs "Brenda Dickson, Hollywood Star, Blue Boulevard Publications". She really is a kook.

They didn’t do a bad job when it comes to the hardcover. The dust jacket however…

She and her drama make for a fascinating kook. Being new to this orbit I still ask myself sometimes how someone’s life can come to this.

The book has poor grammar, lack of punctuation and is chronologically all over the place. You can tell she wrote it herself instead of using a ghostwriter. I give her props but she most likely did it for narcissistic reasons rather than authenticity. There's also a lot of date fudging due to age fabrication on Brenda's part as well.

The book may be out of print with brand new copies selling for a small mint, but something tells me Brenda has tons of new unsold copies in a closet or storage unit somewhere. A la Karen Black's Bambi Le Beau character in Gypsy 83.

Ghelsun’s potatoe salad is jhust the besht!

My husband has just ordered me to stop all BrendaD Ickson activities. He has stated that I have had enough.

R106 is Lee Phillip Bell, from the grave. Leave BrendaD alone, you dead rich bitch! You’re both 6 feet under and she’s a bag lady.

I don't let my husband know I read these threads. He checks them and shakes his head.

Now I'm probably caught and he has something else to make fun of me. I can handle it. He's a political lawyer so I have endless defensive ammunition.

She’s a legend in her own mind.

She's lost her mind though R109! What then?

“My Hidden Hollywood Gelson’s Story”

Brendad should get a job in the deli at Gelson's? 🥔 🥗 sales would go through the ROOF!!

Here she is as a writer.

And that lady DOES sing. I recall that dance track she released on... was it Dropbox?? 😂

That moment actually made me think she MIGHT have a sense of humor and even a camp appreciation of her public persona. If she weren't such a nitwit (and MAGAT), she could have become some minor cult celebrity and meme-generator for gay men... like a tier below a Real Housewife. But... she always just gets in her own way.

BTW, does anyone still have that song downloaded? And... would one of you that hasn't been banned ask her about it on her IG? Tell her how fabulous the track was and encourage her to get it on Spotify and YouTube!

Is this the Gelsons in Century City? Why hasn't she transitioned to Eataly?

I don’t think she’s an early adopter of anything.

R115 The gay guy who composed the song, musician Austin Riva, probably owns it. He never put it with rest of his songs on Spotify, but as you wrote, he did put it on Dropbox -- "exclusively" -- where you can sill find it.

It's called, "She's A Bitch." .. But BrendaD does no singing in it, R114. All she does is come in during the last five seconds and speak the words, "You can take me home ... because I'm a bitch."

I notice BrendaD doesn't feature Austin on her IG any longer. Seems like he left WeHo and moved to the Monterey area. He hasn't put any music up on Spotify since 2020. A year ago, the Pizza Factory up there said they were making their "Director of Ops Services."

Do links to Dropbox work here, or does one have to sign in? If you can access it, here's the song.

Via the Pizza Factory Linkedin (2024):

[quote] Meet Austin Riva, our Director of Ops Services! In this new role he will help streamline technology at the store level in order to Make Awesome for our guests every day. A big thank you to him for everything that he does!

From partying with BrendaD at The Abbey to The Pizza Factory!

People are telling her to join The Real Housewives. She said that she would love to do it but thinks you have to be married. A person responded that there are a lot of unmarried people on the show.

Shoapp OperrA aEmmy award winning Achttrss! Well Hello!!

R119 Austin's a nepo-baby. Mary Jane Riva is his mother and CEO of Pizza Factory!

Don’t forget Best Villainass

If Brendad were more ambitious, I could see her as a madam at the bordello, welcoming in the rich men with her giant teefs and knockers.

The Real Unhoused Unwives of Century City

What are you looking for today, Sham? A little shex? Shome actshun in the back? A little handsh down the pantsh?

R118 Isn't that her voice throughout the whole song?

How many of the "Real Housewives" have been 76+ years old? I don't think she's their demo. An article a couple years ago noted that Lisa Rinna was their oldest at age 59 (now 62), but she started when she was 51.

What about Kathy Hilton?

Ramona Singer is the oldest. Not Rinna. Lisa was fired.

Ramona Singer is 69.

Gays watch these shows. A hot mess like BrendaD is exactly what they want to see. Pair her with Faye Dunaway.

R132 I've never ever seen a Real Housewives episode (even part of one), but I would 100% tune in if BrendaD was there. No question.

R116 Because Eataly never carried her book, which did you know sold very well at Gelson’s?

BrendaD and Faye should do their own version of Welcome to Crappie Lake.

I would like to see them careening through some Rust Belt shamehole in BrendaD’s busted Mercedes.

BrendaD can give style and poise tips to the fraus. Faye can meet with the menfolk to build a community theater, where she can finely perform as Norma Desmond and/or Maria Callas in goddamn peace.

Fey and i wil doo The Wails of Augist at Gellsun's Diner Theeter!

Brendad on Real Housewives would be hilarious. I have not watched the show, but does one have to be currently married to be on it?

BrendaD and Faye as Luann & Sonja

R137 you are Too Funny!

As if

Faye is too old and simian. Brendad needs a younger sidekick, maybe a non-binary to spice up the relationship.

A Danny Romalotti?

People bought BrendaD's book at Gelson's in order to get the coupon it came with for a free quart of Potato Salad at the deli. Plus, the way they rang that up also satisfied the $10 purchase required by the grocery store to get your stub validated for three free hours of parking at the Century City Mall.

R118 - thanks for the download link for She's a Bitch. It's actually better than I remember. She knows how to deliver a song the way a novelty song the way a seasoned drag queen would. It's a shame she's so mentally-emotionally troubled (and a Trumptard), because if she had more gay men in her life, she'd perhaps understand her potential on the B-list and milk it for all its worth. And, you know, be able to pay her mortgage.

I don't think Brendan could be on RHOBH, because she'd insist on the same kind of filtering she uses for her Insta posts, and I don't think TV camera technology can do that.

R144 - Don't worry, R144, Brendad will bring her own Vaseline. It was on sale at Gelson's!

She could be homeless in a couple of months, but she wants to know if hats are for her. Yes, or no people?

Also, one of the videos mentions that she’s on her way to do a “mailing.” I assume this was not to pay a bill.

Yes, R146. She'll need something to collect the change people will be throwing at her when she starts panhandling in the Gelson's parking lot.

Fun fact-the General Manager of Westfield Century City (Home of Gelson’s) is none than the son of BrendaD’s ex-Y&R castmate, Lauren Koslow.

R118 you're doing God's work!

Is "150 feet of clothes" remarkable for a legendary forgotten glamorpuss?

[Quote] With fashion, your eye will be attracted to things that you like.

Words of wisdom from ‘Welcome to my Home’

Eataly is a physically as far away from Gelson's as you can get in Century City. They are diagonally at opposite ends of the mall.

Besides, I've never noticed potato salad for sale in Eataly.

[quote]Dear God! Not Pomona!

Better than Pacoima!

[quote]Although Pacoima is closer to all the red carpet events Brendad lives for

Since her red Mercedes isn't working, that means Brendad could take the bus from Pacoima to the Hollywood Museum where some many of those red carpet events she loves happen.

Imagine the paparazzi photographing Brendad descending down the steps of the bus in her finest.

Ahh, if only the paparazzi still cared enough about Brendad to take her picture like that.

That sounds like the PERFECT prompt for an AI image generator, R154!

She’d take the bus to the Metro…

I think she's been banned from public transit since she crashed into the bus and blamed the driver.

[quote] Fun fact-the General Manager of Westfield Century City (Home of Gelson’s) is none than the son of BrendaD’s ex-Y&R castmate, Lauren Koslow.

Is that the son she gave up for adoption?

Koslow is a MAGA cunt, so maybe she’ll help her out.

Can you actually be banned from public transit? Isn’t it paid with your tax dollars?

Different son, r158. When she gets thrown out of Westfield Century City for panhandling-it is because the Bell crime family placed one of their associates inside the mall to take her down.

[quote]Hello everyone! Hope you're enjoying your Thursday. Im pictured here in LA with actress Brenda Dickson who originated the role of Jill Abbott on Y&R Fun times & good memories. Have a good weekend!

This must be BrendaD’s fake account. No way this guy wrote that. It’s totally BrendaD.

How sad.

Paper plates? Oh how the mighty have fallen!

[quote]Gays watch these shows.

Not those with even a modicum of taste or intelligence.

[quote]Can you actually be banned from public transit? Isn’t it paid with your tax dollars?

Yes, but does Brendad actually pay her taxes?

OMG R163 Thank you! I can't stop laughing picturing her crashing a kid's birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese.

[quote]Not those with even a modicum of taste or intelligence.

Which the majority of gays don’t have. What’s your point?

She probably sleeps with her wig on a mannequin head, a turban on her head and her face completely bandaged up. I bet she snores.

R163 I'll bet that was supplied by Austin Riva's mom at Pizza Factory.

R159- please tell me that's not true- Fuck ,man.

Laverne Cox would work @R140

R162 That looks more like Tomi Lahren than our Brendad.

Tomi “Toilet” Lahren

BrendaD and Fayed.

[quote] please tell me that's not true- Fuck ,man.

Very true. Anti-vaxxer. The works. Her following list on Twitter is legendary.

Yeah. It's okay to hate the stupid bitch and wish her the worst.

R166 We know she doesn't pay her property taxes. The L.A. County Treasurer and Tax Collector shows she defaulted on paying her property taxes on the condo in the 2022 tax year and now owes the county $19,464. The taxes on the condo are around $4000 per year, but due to the growing delinquent amount, the penalty for non-payment is now up to $214.50 per month.

She'll be removed this year, correct? Poor crazy cunt.

You know, her delusional life and the way she is would make a funny series starring some drag queen. Honestly, the series pretty much writes itself.

She needs to call up her first love, Barry Goldwater, Jr., to help her out. He's MAGA and I believe he's still single (after his second divorce). He's 87 now and might need Viagra, but maybe BrendaD could rock his world again. In her book, she says she lost her virginity to him, and laughs that she was "jail bait" (age 17) when she and the 28-year old Barry hooked up. Sounds like she'd fit right in with the crazy family. He could advise her on filing for bankruptcy,

I’m just spitting here—the new owner of her condo, purchased back at the foreclosure, is letting sleeping dogs lie for the time being…

Whether that purchaser is friend, foe or a publicity seeker remains to be determined…

R178, shouldn’t she be arrested?

No, they won’t arrest you for delinquent property taxes. The county can auction off your home though.

R184 is typing from a while back.

Jesus H Christ.

Is this really possible?

I obviously don’t live in California. Around here it takes years before action is taken by the county clerk to seize property.

[quote] Whether that purchaser is friend, foe or a publicity seeker remains to be determined…

R182 The purchaser is just a young man in his early 20s who appears to be none of the those and simply went the auction route to buy his first home, which he intends to live in and will also be a good investment. From his current address that the trustee filed with the new deed related to payment of the transfer tax, it looks like the purchaser now lives in a (rental) condo over in Woodland Hills.

And I'm not even sure the purchaser has to appear in court for this matter. The trustee and/or attorney filing the Unlawful Detainer might simply need to present the two required legal documents to the court, which we know they have because they were already properly filed with the county: 1) the Notice of Default, and 2) the Notice of Trustee's Sale. Then, they just need to show that the Notice to Quit and the Unlawful Detainer were properly served.

Also, it's my understanding that Unlawful Detainer (eviction) cases in California remain private for 60 days after the filing, so unless BrendaD carries on about it (and we can't trust what she says) I wouldn't expect to find anything from the court or the other side on this matter.

R186 obviously. It’s already happened. Assuming she’s still at CPE, it’s a grace & favor from the purchaser in foreclosure.

That poor young man. He was just trying to get on his feet and he has no idea whose condo he purchased. I hope he doesn’t have to be present and it doesn’t cost him any more money.

Good luck to Brenda. She needs to hang this up and start looking for a new accommodation.

If the Hawaiian court appearances or anything to go by this is going to be a disaster.

Nah—bank/tax foreclosures in LA are rarely bought by “innocents.” It’s a shell game for sophisticated investors. That’s the way it’s played, as it’s all cash—up front.

Wake up, people. If she’s still there, it’s because of a friendly “fan” purchaser-in-lieu.

Brendad's million dollar upgrades to the condo make this investment a sure thing.

R191 This isn't a bank or tax foreclosure. The original lender BrendaD defaulted on is a private individual who loaned her $65K back in 2015. Between non-payment of the loan along with all the interest, she now owes them $132K. They're exercising their right to sell in order to recoup their money, so they turned it over to a trustee company to administer the auction.

FTR, the young man who purchased the place has a slightly older brother who's a real estate agent, so it's possible he received advice on navigating this auction purchase from him. Also, his family doesn't necessarily look broke and may be helping him out with the all-cash payment. Plus, he will have immediate equity with the condo - since it's worth far more that what he's paid - so he'd be able to turn around and get a loan against it himself if he needs to pay anyone back.

It’s the same thing. Sophisticated iinvestors make these loans all the time. Jeezus.

Your are unsophisticated r193. To the hilt

You ARE! Blanche, you are.

I can’t believe that you don’t believe that only a sophisticated investor held her 3rd 4th whatever deed of trust …too funny

R194 R195 Not sure how you jumped to the unfounded conclusion that I think any of the investors are somehow unsophisticated. I never wrote anything related to their level of sophistication. I simply relayed that the original lender is an individual rather than a bank and gave some information about who the current purchaser on record is. And in his case, I even noted that he could be drawing upon the more sophisticated resources of his brother who works in real estate.

And of course, it should be perfectly obvious by now that ALL of these people are related to the highly-sophisticated and complex bi-coastal Honolulu mafia who is out to make BrendaD's life a living hell and steal everything from her. That' all one really needs to know in order to understand what's going on.

The Bells are teh God furthars of the Hana Lula mafia.

293 is BrendaD’s flack intern

196 too!

R193, give us the young man’s name. We need a visual!

[quote] Assuming she’s still at CPE

CPE?

R194 Actually, they're quite sophisticated and know what they're talking about.

You, on the other hand, are just another fart sniffing troll.

[quote]That poor young man. He was just trying to get on his feet and he has no idea whose condo he purchased. I hope he doesn’t have to be present and it doesn’t cost him any more money.

We need to chip and an get the buyer a membership in DL so he can read all about the exploits of the former occupant of his new residence.

Threads like this are why I can't quit DL. People are dissecting all of nutty Brendad's claims of multiple mortgages and delinquent HOA dues.

It’s not ovah until it’s ovah

If she had gotten her shit together years ago, she could've started attending SoapCons and sell signed photos, posters and copies of her 1987 "reality show pilot."

I think it is telling that no other soap hired her after she left Y&R. BrendaD’s return to the show, and the reigniting of the Kay/Jill feud, were a big factor in the ratings rise of Y&R. When she returned in 1983, it was in 5th place. It was in first place by the time she left.

She was charismatic on screen and the leading villainess , on a popular soap known for its toxic backstage environment , but no other soap would hire her. Difficult soap actors have had no problem finding a new job after being fired, like Robin Strasser. But nobody would take a chance on hiring her.

She must be a real handful.

R207 She was allegedly briefly considered for the role of Sally Spectra on Bold and the Beautiful before they settled on Darlene. Bitter Bill supposedly put a stop to it.

Darlene was iconic. I don't think I could imagine Brenda going toe to toe with Susan.

R207- She was up for a role on OLTL. Paul Rauch called Bill Bell and Bill trashed her.

I believe it was Blaze during the 1888 Western Storyline-

I’m new to this, only a couple of months in, but I thought there was a grain of truth in the story about them poisoning the well so that she couldn’t work.

Of course it’s Brenda that we’re talking about so this becomes a conspiracy about every fucking thing in her life. She is crazy after all.

I wonder why she didn’t try again? Was she content splitting her time between Saks and Gelson’s way back then too?

I know she was a stilted mess, but she was effective in a campy way. I think some of the clips with her and Jeanne Cooper are really entertaining.

R210 - I agree! I don't give a shit about soap operas, but she had some undeniable presence and an instinct for just the right amount of camp. I think you even hear that in that silly novelty song she recorded. But, she's her own worst enemy.

It sounds like either she didn’t invest any of the money she made, didn’t have proper management, and/or lost a bundle to be in the predicament she’s in. She either trusted the wrong advisors and handlers or didn’t have proper representation.

She also got her knees knocked out from underneath her at the top of her game and height of her game/ production.

I think she relied too heavily on the men in her life to make all these decisions, than recoiled rather than take any responsibility for herself when they bowed out.

I think she needs to start a YouTube channel with an old queen or two and talk about the old days, it would be riveting.

R212 the old days of what? Also she needs CASH.

I could handle BrendaD in small, YouTube clips… gossiping churlishly about other actors in the 80’s and/or doing a “Mystery Science Theater” type show about old soaps and TV shows. Pair her with Amanda Lepore and you’d have a hit. Some clever wealthy gay guy could front her the money with a contract and save her home, it would be great pre-publicity as well for her YouTube channel.

She’d need to buy a new wig though and show some leg.

I am only in for this podcast or show if it is shot in FisherPrice video resolution with her signature filters.

R215 She wouldn't have it any other way.

Or John Waters produces it, he’s the ONLY man I’d trust to take it to the very edge of high camp and still have her come out the other side of it a star

[quote]She also got her knees knocked out from underneath her at the top of her game and height of her game/ production.

A decade earlier, #1 rated Another World fired its top-billed and most popular star George Reinholt for having a temper tantrum on set and throwing objects on set. Reinholt's portrayal of Steve Frame had helped bring AW to the top of the ratings. No one could believe AW would dare fire its star, but they did. One Life to Live quickly hired him.

Brenda was in a similar situation at Y&R. The specific details are different, but essentially a top-rated show suddenly fired one of its most popular stars.

Really surprising no other soap hired her. Or even Dynasty. She would have fit in well on a night time soap.

R218 Does anyone know the actual reason for BrendaD's firing? Was it just that she was batshit crazy?

It is odd that no other soap picked her up. She must have been radioactive.

Vanity Fair: Well, Hello: Thirty-One Years of Welcome to My Home

How a brilliantly cheesy 80s artefact became a viral phenomenon—and how star Brenda Dickson plans to parlay her infamy into a new career.

BrendaD should team up with Victoria Rowell for a reality show.

Although Vicky would probably outcrazy dear Brenda…

I wanna see her do makeup and wig tutorials. I think she said that she was thinking about doing YouTube after it was suggested in the video comments on Instagram.

Her makeup is fine with the Crayolla crayon filter these days. Not sure many people beyond Bianca Del Rio want to see how to look like a clown in a wig.

If anyone has to ask why Brendad was never hired again………..

BrendaD has never looked better than she looks now, using her "Live Action Andy Warhol Celebrity Silk Screen Portrait Filter". I wish I knew what filter it was because I would like to do try it as well. It's so glamorous and uncanny.

R224 Why?

Guys, the not paying property taxes on a condo you own is taking it to next level and is definitely a sign of mental illness and denial about her situation. My mom was every bit as jaded and stubborn as BrendaD. She didn not take aging well at all either!

My mom would wait out the due date until the town was ready to snatch her property away from her, my brother and I would have to go to the town hall the very afternoon it was due, she did this to us twice and would hide the tax bills every year deep inside her pocketbook. If BrendaD has kids, this is likely why they don’t help…

We were both in our early 20’s just starting out and this was really a shitty thing to hang over on your kids. We had to scrimp, save and sweat several jobs but NO my mother wouldn’t sell her property even though she couldn’t afford it anymore. When we finally did sell it, there were so many issues and it wasn;t anywhere near what she thought it was worth.

I still cannot watch any show or movie without getting triggered, there was a Steven King short story about jilted property owners I had to put the book down.

R227, go away.

Brendad would've been great as a slam piece for JR Ewing. Another one of his sluts that would've driven Due Ellen to drink more. Maybe Brendad could've pushed her in the Southfork pool.

BrendaD has a new Labor Day video up all misspelled thanking Donald Trump for low gas prices.

Streamable and Files FM won’t let me upload so you’re shit outta luck if she blocked you.

BrendaD’s Labor Day message.

Here.

Caption: Happy Labor Day, freinds Have a blast! This is a fabulous year. We are blessed to work in the good old USA. We are rapidly becoming strongest country in the world love you

Why yes, BrendaD. We have such an amazing President. The rich are getting richer, the poor are getting poorer and he's doing all he can to dismantle that ridiculous "safety net" used to protect those lazy disabled or down on their luck people and their families. He's also showing the rest of the world that we just don't need them and they shouldn't count on us. We have such a bright and sunny future ahead under his great leadership.

[quote]BrendaD’s Labor Day message.

"We are rapidly becoming strongest 💪 country in the world."

As queer for Trump and delusional as ever. ("Yes, we have a great president," some loon responded.) In this video, she resembles a talking goldfish whose head is magnified by its fish bowl.

r227 "I still cannot watch any show or movie without getting triggered,"

Seek help, snowflake. Take a writing class while you're at it.

She’s losing her home and this is the greatest country on earth. According to her it’s screwing het over and Pam Bondi is doing nothing.

[quote] As queer for Trump and delusional as ever.

What?

I missed her second reel until I rewatched it. She picking up lilies at the flower shop as she is entertaining guest this weekend. I hope they are helping her box things up for her move.

She is as stupid as a fencepost! However, I think she has a good heart despite her utterly insane political "beliefs"- WHAT A NUT!

Whoever did her teeth did a great job- I dig her veneers.

Her political statement is utterly NUTS, like she is!

Does she wear colored lenses?

R241 Her eyes look really weird, but I think it's the filters that do most of it. It's certainly no normal human eye colour.

She’s half elf. Her mother was Galadriel.

I only use Facebook to occasionally check in on elderly relatives. And I completely forgot that Brendad and I are friends on there. I'm one of the people she banned on IG (for no apparent reason... I never commented on her posts,) but she didn't give me the ax on FB for whatever reason so now I'm seeing all the stories she syndicates to both platforms! It's good to have this glamour-nut back in my life!

She has a car? Let her sleep there. let her hit bottom

She probably still has that old white Mercedes with the parking tickets under the window wipers.

I'm surprised she has money to pay for fresh flowers. .. I always thought that she probably just goes downstairs at the end of the day and nabs the bouquet that they have in the lobby of Century Park East before it gets thrown out. .. The money she spends on flowers would pay for an avocado toashts, although I suppose she might be able to put that on her EBT card since it's food.

Can’t some old fairy soap fan with a spare bedroom take her in.

Preferably a fan in Florida.

That would probably last under a week. It's extremely difficult living with someone who has narcissistic personality disorder.

Yes, Brendad. Trump keeps his word. Wars ended in 24 hours.

[quote]Can’t some old fairy soap fan with a spare bedroom take her in.

I was always a big fan of that soap!

she may not have malignant narcissism, however. which is why she probably has a few friends.

Since she already has her own head far up her own withered and cavernous "snacketeria" she should move in there completely. Tons of room.
