194. Getting Syked Up
Added 2025-01-22 22:47:04 +0000 UTCRich tells Tracie about how the internet was questioning a woman whose disabled adult son—who was reportedly a former child star—died on her property in the recent LA fires. As they scratch the surface, they learn that the woman, Shelley Sykes, had done something of a press tour about the tragedy. A deeper dive reveals that she was a contestant on several reality competition shows in the past; and raises questions about her son's disability and validity of his "child stardom."

I just don't believe that all three generations were born on July 29th. I was born on my mom's birthday and I've only ever met a single other person like me!

2025-01-29 08:58:16 +0000 UTCI don’t think it’s that’s suspicious that an older mother couldn’t get her adult son living with CP to leave the house. There’s some comorbidity between CP and other disorders like autism and intellectual disability. He could have refused to leave for OCD reasons or not understanding the consequences of his choice to stay. You can’t force an adult to evacuate. She’s clearly an attention whore tho. 👀

2025-01-23 21:20:57 +0000 UTCShe keeps perpetuating that there was no water. There was water, the issue was there was no water pressure.

2025-01-23 20:28:27 +0000 UTCI think it’s weird that Shelly Sykes keeps presenting the story as that she’s on a first name basis with the firefighters and that her recollection of what they told her is always like “Shelly, we don’t have any water.” That either a) didn’t happen that way, except in her head or b) she’s at the fire station all the time because she’s nuts. Neither explanation is good.

2025-01-23 15:35:30 +0000 UTCWell I checked on Dr Skyes. She does live in Malibu. The address I could find for her, the house and the casitas did burn down per the recovery website. LA county has a website and they are posting pictures of all the houses in the two fire areas, so people can see the damage.
