Don’t Laugh At Kari Ann On The Next Sex Rehab!

Kari Ann shares the same last name I do.

I say if you want to go home so bad, why did you agree to be on the show. It’s not like someone came and kidnapped you and dragged you to the set…I mean Pasadena Recovery Center. I really think it stinks when any of those folks act so rude to the staff, ESPECIALLY in the first 24-48 hours…seriously? You can’t endure anything for that short of a period of time? I have not walked a mile in Kari-Ann’s heels, but seriously - don’t pretend you have nothing else going on - no one is buying your excuses - I need a cup of juice…really??? Go ahead home. So far as her saying Dr. Drew asks weird questions…um…all he was trying to do is figure out why you are there.

Has anyone noticed that the manager of Kari Ann is the same douchebag David Weintraub who was involved with Mary Carey on Celb rehab? Why is this jerk allowed near any people? Why does Dr. Drew tolerate his presence (by cell phone this time) on the show?

The show is excellent , the patients are coragious and I wish them the best. Sex addiction is a hard habit to break …Sex adddicts have all the “drugs” we need in our heads. For many of us the “High” comes from fantasy and flirting , telling our selves how we are going to get “high” thats why we saw the Surfer going crazy in the first epasode I believe . In the Second epasode the drummer is most likely getting high thinking how beautiful the model is…they are doing it to “escape ” all the tough work they have to do to work on their recovery. Kari ann(?) seems to be desparately trying to avoid treatment and i think it is good for the rest of them to have her there to give them an extreme exaample of what they are going through or will go through… in treatment it is a pain ,but it is good to have someone going into withdrawl ,because for me it soon dawned on me “that is me” in an “exagerated model” as my issues were oblivios to me after years of using sex . Dont discount the “shame factor’ i believe it fuels the addict to stay out of recovery , go back to using etc. Did you notice how Kari Ann said her abuse was’nt an issue and then clamed up after Dr Drew brought up that “maybe ” it ties in somewhere ? Is she anticipating more questions and thats why she won’t “get outta bed” if she can make it past this she will be a great “go to ” “model” for the rest when they hit their “walls” i believe.

I wish I could laugh in her face. She needs to grow up.

This show is great. I agree Kari Ann did look dissociated. She’s also acting like a BPD (real borderline) and maybe drugs might be involved as well. I also agree that the not laughing thing seems to be coming from a real deep place of pain. I can’t stand Jill though. She’s not professional enough. Cracking up in a patient’s face is not appropriate regardless of what she may have been thinking. She’s a bit annoying as well and does not complement Dr. Drew’s style. I love Dr. Drew. All the other patients and their stories are very moving.

I agree w/ Chris’s comment. This show highlights how unbelievably common sex abuse of children is & there should be an educational show attached to this one for people to learn how to protect their children from this. What an outrage it is to hear these stories & I have not yet heard one of these therapists ask what happened to the offender- did they ever get prosecuted or treatment?? Part of these victim’s ongoing struggle- I believe, is that they’re not getting reinforcement for holding their abusers held accountable. They tell their stories to sympathetic faces and that’s the end of it! Now this girl says she was abused from age 5-7 but it’s ‘not a problem’??? That’s the philosophy her perpetrator taught her to groom her to go along & it’s coming out of HER mouth 20 years later- like she really believes it!! If this perpetrator was held accountable & what happened to her was labeled as ABUSE from the get go- she might feel differently, but if these perps don’t get caught I think that hurts the victim’s thinking even more. This girl is still reliving her abuse everyday, trying to rectify in her mind why didn’t she refuse or repel those advances, which shows that she is blaming her (5 year old) self (internalized the offenders projection of blame) and is actively trying to repel everyone around her. She’s become her own worst enemy, stuck in a cycle of inhibiting other’s from feeling empathy for her (smiling like everything’s fine) which then justifyies her feelings of invalidation (what her offender projected) and isolation. As a therapist myself, I find her to be a perfect candidate for DBT. That clip where she was talking to the therapist about wanting to be isolated without really being isolated is a great example of a dialectical dilemma she’s grappling with & looking for more balance with these 2 extreme ways of dealing w/ people (sex contact vs. isolation).

this girl needs to grow up! shes so selfish and bratty!!! i hope she watches this show and changes cause its not her sex life she needs to work on seems like her attiuted and the way she talks to others is what her real problem is. is she like bi polur?

Kari Ann is a big baby starving for attention and throughs fits way too much. Everything is NOT about her and the world does not revolve around her. I feel bad for the others that have to spend their time there with her, I’d choke her if I had to live with her for a night.

kari anne seems to be a huge egomaniac. She actually believes jealousy is the reason none of the castmates have befriended her!? Actually it has more to do with her selfish, demanding, and condescending personality.
