about The Cowboy that detailed a sexual assault, then, at her agent's urging, deleted the post. If anyone is interested, someone captured the post and has the url on Amazon.com reader's comments. The author is now denying any assault took place, but I was horrified reading her blog. Her "memoir" is nothing but a how-to book to become emotionally and physically abused. She horrifies me. Now she's with a man who she says is awesome because he relates to her the way Cesar Milan relates to his dogs. AWESOME! So, instead of being "trained" by a lunatic who raps her on the nose with a newspaper or rubs her nose in a mess, she responds to her new guy's "calm assertive energy." The woman clearly has issues.

It's both pathetic and heinous.
