Publication: National EnquirerDate: 12 July 2010
Back in March after her son committed suicide, the National Enquirer started a vicious attack on Marie Osmond that lasted about a month. She was suicidal, she had lost a scary amount of weight, she was giving up show business. The last story about her was in the Flagship's sister publication, the Globe, and that usually nasty rag said she was getting back together with her ex-husband Steven Craig who was helping her through her hard times.
For three long months, the tabloids were thankfully Marie Osmond free, but now the Flagship is back in full nasty mode, saying she is going to a psycho ward.
I'm not an actual fan of Marie Osmond, but I am a fan of letting people grieve in their own way and not disrespecting them in obviously trying times.
With this story and another I'll talk about on Wednesday, the Enquirer easily wins Nastiest Rag of the Week.
