Well, The Insider just ran a little more of Rita’s visit in The Bahamas, in re: the nannies.

It’s still confusing because they don’t say who shot the footage they showed or why. It starts with Rita and her publisher Tom (not sure about his full name) walking in to a little office. You hear a female voice welcoming her off-camera. Then Rita introduced herself.

Then we find out that the female is Elizabeth Thompson, the nannies’ current attorney, called “Liz” in the piece. Lincoln Bain is also there, standing or sitting next to Ms Thompson.

They seem to already know why Rita is there and they start talking about an offer from InTouch Magazine for $10-15,000 for an interview with the nannies.

That goes back and forth as the discussion, with mostly Thompson talking and Bain sometimes interjecting.

Thompson asks again what else Rita wants from this. She says she wants the affidavits.

Thompson asks what affidavits. Rita says the ones about Larry and Howard.

Thompson says she doesn’t know about any affidavits on that subject.

More to come later in the show.

Late breaking

A Bahamian TV crew confronted Rita ...

Rita confirms that she wasn’t offering any money herself, but Bain was asking for it.

Bain starts objecting ...

Cut to one-on-one CU of Thompson.

“I believe she realizes the value of the nannies,” Thompson said. “But, no such affidavit that the nannies signed said they saw such a homosexual encounter. They are disputing much of what was attributed to them.”

Thompson says the homosexual thing is important to Rita and her book, but is not important to the nannies.

Bain says that Rita came to The Bahamas to be on his show with the nannies ... (then I missed the rest of what he said when my doorbell rang!)

Amazingly, The Insider went on to say that despite the controversies, Rita’s book continues at #13 on NYT Best Seller List!

[Ah, I just realized that this is probably a sticking point in HKS’s lawsuit, so they have to play up how widespread the readership is! You just know there’s always an ulterior pro-HKS motive when ET or TI say something apparently positive about anyone HKS hates.]
