I hope this woman wins enough to get the help, both physically and emotionally she needs.

We have a lot of Iraq war Vets who have been permanently disfigured and who are much more deserving of help. I can't pity this woman too much just because she thinks bigger boobs are going to change her life for the better.

When I saw the headline, I thought this was another Cindy Sheehan story.

If they (ABC) compensate her for her time, that is the end of their obligation. It's not as if they started the surgery & dropped her.

Unless a person has a serious deformity, I don't know how they think becoming what they aren't will make them a better person. You just have to have it inside, and ifyou don't, you could look like brad pitt and you are still ugly.

The people who put on these shows don't ever get a dime from me. They're hopeless degenerates, not worth the recognition of any right-minded person.

With all this PC bull***t and the liberal judges and courts in California, you never know what this woman might get.

OMG that is horrible. I don't think I'd be able to watch the show anymore knowing how cold hearted they are. They make themselves out to be a God send to these people and yet to coldly turn away one you've promised a new life to is unforgivable.

Her sister tho should have had more fortitude with babies to raise. Nothing tops raising your children.

Reality TV - now there's an oxymoron for you.

What a sad story. Maybe she can end up owning ABC and doing an extreme makeover on it.

What a horrible family. This poor woman probably wanted the surgeries so "they" would stop berrating her. The suicidal sister had to be loopey to begin with, the mother in law just seems nasty.

I for one am glad that attractive people are not the only ones that can be married. I would be a single woman then.

Someone thought enough of this woman to have sex with her. She wasn't that ugly.

I hope this lady gets a sizeable settlement. The network did cause severe emotional distress. They made a promise then backed down..I believe that is called fraud.
My guess is ABC has some major clause she does not even know she signed..and the poor lady gets nothing.
Reality shows are a terrible concept, Just like advertising that shows teenagers you are either skinny and beautiful, or you are nobody.
It has done wonders for kate Moss...

What is so surprising here? When the public like gladiator fights, people get killed.

And this is what "reality" shows are: gladiator fights, so much adored by the public. The analogy is valid because it is one form of pain or another is sold as "reality." True reality includes a miraculous liver transplant performed as we speak at the University of Pittsburgh, a communication with a satellite a gazillion miles away, heroism of our soldiers and good deeds performed by them in Iraq and New Orleans, and much, much more that makes this great country great. This is not in any way "reality" so much desired by the public: it wants pain and suffering.

At the bottom of it, all those that watch that "reality" garbage are the culprits, and not just ABC.

I don't know who would subject a mother to this kind of treatment. I don't know who would subject their own kind of mother to what transpired. Whatever happpened to the commandment of honoring one's parents? We're a society obssessed with how people look. Its sad we don't pay as much attention to people's character.

Maybe FOX can pick up a reality show based on this lawsuit.

Egads, I hope there are no FOX executives on this board.

I'm willing to bet she signed away any legal rights to sure ABC. She is going to the press to generate sympathy, perhaps justly so.

I don't feel any sympathy for the sister who killed herself after she was so willing to trash her sister on national television.

To please the producers, Williams' mother-in-law also laid it on thick. "She said things like 'I never believed my son would marry such an ugly woman.' "

Nice family.

triggered her sister Kellie McGee's suicide

Huh??? This suit is absurd. How many other people has ABC dropped from consideration? I would bet she was not the only one. If this "ugly" woman's life was "destroyed" from not getting the plastic surgery she dreamed of, then the entire culture of looks-worship is to blame, not just ABC. "How can I go back as ugly as I left? I was supposed to come home pretty." Is this what America has come down to? Is our spiritual life so devoid that this is all we value? What about people who are disfigured from fires or chemicals, mutilated soldiers? There are millions of Americans worse off than this woman is.

We NEVER watch any 'reality' shows. They are all so very tacky.

The 31-page complaint begins with the line "Deleese Williams is considered ugly."

Yikes! I would hate to have a legal document stating that!
