Blind Item #5
This former movie actress turned fired television actress loves to pretend she has a service dog. At a restaurant this week she brought the dog and when she couldn't provide paperwork was asked to remove the dog. She then left the dog locked up in her car for hours while she partied away.
Selma Blair
ReplyDeleteNikki Reed.
ReplyDeleteSome actress who is pretentious and cruel.
ReplyDeleteIf this is Nikki, she had better hope Ian doesn't find out about this because I can't imagine he would stand for it. He's dumb and whipped, but not that dumb.
ReplyDeleteWhoever this is, needs a service dog. Whoever sent in the blind should have reported the dog being in the car .
ReplyDeletePeople like her are the type of people I want to see failing.
ReplyDeleteIDK, he seems kind and honorable, but he also seems too smart to be completely duped.
ReplyDeleteWhat service does the dog provide Blair? Chop out lines and roll up a dollar?
ReplyDeleteI did see Nikki Reed and Ian Somerhalder walking through LAX with their "service" dog... Um. Yeah. Okay... IDK exactly what "service" the dog is providing.
ReplyDeleteI wish someone would of called the cops and had to break the car windows.
ReplyDeleteThis is awful! NO ONE should EVER lock an animal in a car!
ReplyDeleteIf this is Nikki and Ian found out, that would NOT be good. He's super vocal on Twitter and on social networks about animal rights, rescuing dogs, and is DEFINITELY an animal lover. If she did something like that, he would be super pissed at her.
ReplyDeleteJust read an article about airlines complaining people were dragging 'therapy pets' on board and it's getting out of control. Considering there is a huge surge on antidepressants, I can see this happening for those that choose pets, but it's not hard to get papers from the doc. Anyway, leaving a pet unattended in a car is a problem.
ReplyDelete"when she couldn’t provide paperwork"
ReplyDeleteObvious fiction is obvious. It is against the law (under the Americans with Disabilities Act) to ask for "paperwork" for service dogs. The most one can do is inquire if the dog is a service animal for a disability and what service does the animal provide. A first year law student knows that.
File under Enty's Fan Fiction.
This service dog stuff is crap
ReplyDeleteFor neurotic a-holes
The people who actually need dogs -the blind are going to be hurt by this cause everyone gonna get mad at these fools
The only people that need a service dog are the BLIND
ReplyDeleteNot true - you can request the paperwork
ReplyDeleteYou also need a tag for a parking spot
Except that now service dogs are used for neurotic people losers with emotional distress that is not covered by ADA
ReplyDeleteYou can ask does your service fog fall under the categories of ADA -no category for
I'm a loser who doesn't want children so I treat my dog like a baby except my dog will never grow up and won't talk back to me cause I just can't deal with people
AH is absolutely correct. you can ask if it's a service animal and what service it provides and that is all you can ask. and by "you" I mean the proprietor, not some nosy customer.
ReplyDeleteNo tag or paperwork is required. the animal had to be well behaved however.
i believe it is now legal in California to break a window to rescue an animal locked in a car, as long as you have first called the police. you don't have to wait til they arrive.
Kathryn are you serious? i met s woman with an inoperable brain tumor who had seizures. she wad the caretaker for her 90 year old mother who was a survivor if the Japanese internment camps. she lived in a distention city and couldn't drive becsuse of the seizures. then her rescued chihuahua (you can't make this stuff up) began alerting her to her seizures. giving her enough time to lie down until she had the seizure. do she could start driving again. if tog saw her sitting in a restaurant with her chihuahua you'd probably give her the stink eye because in your infinite wisdom she looks healthy to you and she's obvuously not blind? Please.
ReplyDeletesorry for typos. fingerswipe typing on a smart phone.
ReplyDeleteWow Prunie, reality really is stranger than fiction. I hope that lady and her daughter are ok.
ReplyDeleteThere is a huge difference between a Service Dog and an Emotional Support dog, and most of the comments are using them interchangeably.
ReplyDeleteService dog - trained to provide a service for the owner (Guide dog for blind, seizure alert dog, etc). The ADA allows these dogs in all venues AS LONG AS THE DOG IS WELL BEHAVED, and you can only ask if the dog is a service dog and what service the dog provides.
An Emotional Support Dog is used for people with situational anxiety and they are guaranteed no special privileges under the ADA. And YES, this is the category that is being most abused.
