Emily, that comment was incredibly tone deaf

She just said the move to PA was going to make HSN bigger and brighter than before. Not even 1 hour since saying goodbye to Guy, a couple of days after saying goodbye to Helen, Valerie has one more show. That was a classless remark.

Lemme guess. She started that comment by saying her oft overused expression ‘my friends’. I cannot watch or listen to her. She irks me. Bad. Bad irking!

  I think you would win that bet. If we had drinking games where we drink every time Emily repeats a phrase over and over and over in the same paragraph (4 times for “of course” in three sentences just today), and the ignorant “my friends” – who told her that was a good way to ingratiate herself with viewers? Wrong. It’s patronizing and condescending when it’s overused. She needs to go back to hosting school. All the hosts and vendors are her good friends and she falls all over herself when they come on.

Sorry I don’t think so! She’s moving ahead and is letting us know she feels HSN will be stronger and better,.and I wish that upon them.I’m sure the rest were offered to go. The ones that are going are making huge life changes and I wish them all the best!For the others staying behind I wish them best,too!

  That comment WAS tone deaf since the longtime hosts that are leaving are so well-loved and respected by co-workers, vendors, and viewers…and it includes longtime models as well. To make a comment like that was TONE DEAF, but I can’t say I’m that surprised that it was Emily who said it. Keep the comments like that to yourself AT LEAST UNTIL St Pete campus closes its doors and turns out the lights.
  
  Thank you, Kimberlie for “getting it”.

  Sorry, I wasn’t speaking about you at all. It’s not about you. I didn’t realize you were still here, bless your heart.

  Today, I watched Guy’s last show. It was emotional, but he did say he is still thinking about coming up to Pennsylvania. He is just not ready now. Also, just now, Suzanne announced that the Origami vendor, Rebecca, is becoming an HSN host. Sorry, I do not remember her last name. I do like her and wish her the best. She will be training in Pennsylvania in July.

  Wow really?! I hope Guy does eventually make his way to Pennsylvania 💙 I’m sure they will keep the door open for him because he is a fan favorite and it seems the staff loves him as well😊 I saw Rebekah welcomed as a new host last night! I think she’ll do great! Bet she is so excited 💞
