Blind Item #7

This former top 5 pro female tennis player is dying of AIDS. I think a lot of people could see this coming despite how quiet she has tried to keep it.

I don't know if she is top 5, but thought of Jennifer capriati (sp). Lots of substance abuse..

Unknown said...

Jennifer Capriati has had a drug history and seems pretty messed up. Not sure if intravenous drugs but I think she was probably top 5 at some point. Haven't heard much about her the last few years.

Sherry said...

I think whomever it is we should respect their privacy.

Its just U said...

@Sherry, I feel the same way. This isn't gossip.

Sherry said...

I mean in regards to their health issues.

Sherry said...

Glad I'm not the only one who feels this way IJU

bruce said...

i don't like the tone of this...makes it seem like there is something shameful about being HIV+

FrenchGirl said...

@Sherry @Tom Stockdale +1

Lurker Girl said...

This person should be contacting Magic Johnson's doctors...he has lived for over 20 years with this..

Tru Leigh said...

Throwing out Chris Everett for something different.

Angelina said...

Jennifer Capriati has to go to court in December for allegedly stalking and assaulting her ex-boyfriend. That doesn't seem like a person trying to keep out of the spotlight...

FrenchGirl said...

and except if you're not treated, anyone dies of AIDS .Now AIDS is a extended diseasa :you can live 20 years with AIDS

THIS really is fucked & should be private. We shouldn't even speculate and reinforce this kind of post. Shame Enty. Shame.

amused bush said...

@Lurker Girl - Greg Louganis too.

Sad for whomever this is.

Martina Hingis....ex cited her as sex addict in their divirce/court proceedings

And as a substance abuser.

@Rach Around

Enty has been increasing his number of HIV blinds lately. Must have received a great increase of clicks after that Britney reveal.

FourthTurning said...

HIV and AIDS are different illnesses. The people who are living for long periods of time have HIV. The goal is to never let HIV manifest into AIDS. The meds help stave that off. AIDS is much more difficult to combat and life expectancy is much shorter.

Ray said...

What Britney reveal?

Meanie Rhysie said...

wtf @gypsy girl, English, please?!?!

Yeah, this is private and should remain so. Unless they're out infecting people.

FourthTurning said...

Oh yeah, I have no idea who this is. I would it expect it to be either someone older or someone who engaged in high risk behavior, ie, needles, lots of high risk sex.

@jodi : ohhhh....I haven't been visiting here long enough to know that.

MISCH said...

So sad, I hate reading these blinds

Mary Pierce. Her ex is Roberto Alomar and he has aids and gave it to her a long time ago.

Anonymous said...

EXACTLY Lost Soul. I almost posted that, but people don't seem to really care. The point is to try to avoid HIV. And spreading it. Hence my nagging about safe sex.

Unknown said...

@gypsygirl - I assume you meant Capriati never had top 5 status - wrong - she is a former #1 and in top 5 for months. Don't know if it is her and Hingis might be a good guess but get facts correct if going to cite them- all you have to do is google them.

amused bush said...

@gyspygirl - jcap was ranked #1, has 3 grand slam titles and a gold medal. Yes, she had substance abuse issues cleaned up and put together a nice career for herself.

Seven of Eleven said...

AIDS blind?

discoflux said...

#1 - Magic Johnson does not have AIDS - he is HIV+.

#2 - If you don't know the difference between HIV and AIDS, please go utilize the google. We all have the ability cure our own ignorance.

#3 - Enty's obviously had his soul sucked out by a Canadian Demon Hound.


Bit dams said...

"its not real...this should be private...I call bs...google your shit you freaking scum of the earth who should be put to death for not writing the facts as I SEE THEM (although i then get to act high and mighty when I correct you, so, yeah that's awesome)". you people need to chill. this is a gossip site. it posts private information (none of our business) everyday of the year. you think the person this blind is talking about cares if YOU know? really?

Anonymous said...

Assumption correct but what Ibwas "citing"was top 5 players of all time-one of which is Hingis for her 5 grand slam wins....JC kinda small time in.comparison..but my bad i imagine...i was thinking bigger and contrary to DM visits and overuse of google....i am able to do so from recognizant/ective memory/knowledge:)

Anonymous said...

Cognitive/collective memory was what i meant

Anonymous said...

I thought of her originally...but Hingis outranks her in an of- all time reference

Jolene Jolene said...

@Tom Stockdale--How is gossiping about HIV (and making it seem shameful on here) any different than gossiping about other STDs, which people do on this site CONSTANTLY. Men are called dogs and man whores and pigs and women are sluts and cum dumpsters when blinds are about the herp or whatever else and it's perfectly okay, yet HIV is off limits? I guess I don't see the distinction.

gypsygirl - if looking top 5 all-time the list would probably be: Martina N., Steffi, Chris Evert, Margaret Court, Serena? I don't think Martina H. would make the top 10 ;)

Unknown said...

@Me - not really sure what you said there but I do agree that I get sick of the 'we shouldn't be talking about this' 'it's private' comments we get. It is a gossip site.

Unknown said...

@gypsygirl - I hear you.. I made an assumption also and can see the miscommunication.

Unknown said...

@ME - upon further interpretation of your drivel above - fuck you!! Don't throw out 'facts' when commenting unless they are accurate.

Desiree said...

I had to reread @ME's comments several times. I don't see where they are "throwing out any facts" and don't really see where the "fuck you" is warranted. That's a bit much.

It must be a full moon because everyone is on edge today LOL.

Iskateboarding said...

i get annoyed with all the losers complaining about whats ok to gossip about i.e. Aids or child molestation, then continue to read and comment every fucking day!!! hypocritical idiots. STFU!

it took forever said...

i know i sound retarded bit i am surprised its a female and not male

it took forever said...

didnt venus explain her illness? doubt its aids

Seven of Eleven said...

Stop complaining! Stop complaining about complaining! Stop complaining about complainers complaining!

We can't stop.

Anonymous said...

This person seemed to think JC was a prime suspect back in 2004 because of the IV drug use

nancer said...

it's capriati. it fits.

Sandy said...

Anyone can contract HIV for a couple of reasons, usually unsafe sex or needle sharing, and the sex of the person has nothing to do with contracting it.

Also, HIV is a condition, not a full blown syndrome - that's AIDS, which is not a disease but a syndrome through which people get life-threatening diseases. No one dies of AIDS but rather the diseases one gets due to AIDS' total suppression of the immune system.

HIV or AIDS are no more "shameful" than any other conditions, syndromes or diseases (diabetes, cancer, COPD, herpes, etc.). Tom Hanks has type-2 diabetes = no big deal. Yet if he had HIV = OMG, horrible person! This is stupid and bigoted in the extreme.

Angelina said...

@Katie: I think you're right. Pierce was world ranked #5 in 2005. So incredibly sad.

Anonymous said...

Sheesh. Chill the fuck out. What's with everyone? We're all allowed our own perspectives, and to express them and should just take a deep breath and calm the fuck down....'breathe in through the nose - hold..... Slowly release from the mouth.
Fluffy kittens.

Hanwi said...

Mary Pierce also looks way older than her years (38) and not exactly healthy. Capriati looks just fine.

msgirl said...

I feel terrible for whoever it is.

I've been a tennis watcher for 25 years, didn't know Mary's husband had it. So so sad.

Serena had something else, I think a clot in her lungs? She's fine now, and winning almost every match she's in. Vanessa has Sordgrens, not her.

msgirl said...

Just checked, Monica Seles is doing great, phew. I loved her, and she's got a great attitude about how her career was destroyed.

msgirl said...

And oops meant Venus not Vanessa above!

Mark B said...

Hingis?

The Real Dragon said...

@sherry Agreed!

amused bush said...

@msgirl, not Mary Pierce's hubby. Her former fiancé Roberto Alomar is rumored to have AIDS (he's been sued twice for exposing former partners to HIV).

Do you also play? I love the sport.

msgirl said...

I used to just a little but now I've got Multiple Sclerosis. I totally sucked, but it sure does give perspective on how the pros get those impossible shots and make it seem easy1 :)

amused bush said...

Ahh, sorry to hear msgirl. My aunt has MS too. Hope you are able to live well! And I hope your symptoms are mild.

It amazes me watching pros get those shots off and also run the court! I'm mediocre at best, but I do love playing.

Rufus II said...

unfortunately I think it is Mary Pierce. It's been rumored for years that her ex Roberto Alomar gave her AIDS.

Rosso said...

Mary Pierce was recently featured in a French news report on tv about how she's gone uber religious & now lives in some kind of religious community in Mauritious, full on evangelical style. She looked fine & happy.

Jennifer Capriati has had more problems & issues over the years that I think could sadly fit this. Hopefully it's no-one & this is just a made up blind.

NaughtyNurse said...

If, indeed, it is Capriati, I hope Matthew Perry practiced safe sex with her.

Christy said...

Mfirst time poster long time lurker.Mary Pierce. Formerly number three tennis player. Dated baseball player Robbie Alomar who later was sued by two exes for exposing them to HIV. Sad if true

Venus is dealing with some issues...

Venus Williams vs. Autoimmune Disease

Reese said...

Very sad for whoever it is. I saw some pictures of Gabriela Sabatini recently, and she wasn't looking very good. Capriati wouldn't come as much of a surprise.

Hegg said...

I heard back in June that Monica Seles was very sick. But she also admitted to bulimia, so not sure. But I have it from a reliable source that she is indeed, not doing well.

auntliddy said...

Whoever it is, godspeed. And positive loving thoughts to everyone sick or I'll:)

Hegg said...

Monica not looking well

I don't think it's Martina - she was in a pap photo at some stage in the past week and looked incredibly healthy - glowing in fact

Lizzie du said...

And this is the reason i stoped commenting all the judgement BS jet this mtfkrs comment every fucking day and if someone's does not agree with what they think then " its fucked up and should be off limits " just dont fucking read it and move on

White.God.of.Fuck said...

Rene Richards for the win

Bubbles said...

The blind doesn't say the person is a top 5 of all times, just a former top 5 player, plain and simple.

And I think people are upset mainly because of the sensationalism of saying the person is dying of AIDS when in fact they may be just HIV+. Because I can't imagine anyone with that type of money and access to the best medical treatment unable to maintain their health if that's what they in fact wanted to do, stay alive!
