I hope Jessie will be ok
so sad, so many deaths this weekend..
What the heck? This is a horrible story, why in the world wouldn't the driver come to a stop if all this drama was taking place in the car??
10:59 kinda hard to come to a stop when your pulling your girlfriend back into a moving car.
Maybe for some, but I know my arms and feet are capable of working independent of one another!
wow, im glad 9:07 and 12:07 are getting something humorous out of this. pathetic. i hope someone's kids are getting the real message here. petty fights and the sillyness of growing up are just passing, getting killed is permanent. please be carefull and dont play games with moving vehicles. someone always gets hurt, this time worse happened. its a very sad story.
2:21 do you see me laughing?
Jessie is in intensive care unit and just lost her girlfriend, I am sure she is very aware of the "petty" fight
A friend of mine has been trying to get in touch with Jessie. She's very concerned about her. If anyone has a contact number could you please email it to me at bdm073082@yahoo.com? Thank you so much.
Jessie is ok ...Grieving is a personal and highly individual experience. How you grieve depends on many factors, including your personality and coping style, your life experience, your faith, and the nature of the loss. The grieving process takes time.. when the time is righ I will pass on your E-Mail address to her .. but for now she is in good health & with loving family ...
The trueth will come out, Courtney was like a daughter to me! Karma is a bitch, someone will be answering to God!!!!! Rest in peace precious KOrtney
Jessica was in intensive care? whatever.
ANOTHER lie.
Some people wouldn't know the truth if they tripped over it.
Jessica needs to start TELLING the TRUTH about that accident, and STOP smearing Kortneys name to save her own butt.
Remember God knows the truth, and one day Jessica will have to answer to Him.
Rest in peace Kortney, you are greatly loved, and missed. xx
5;20-I'm sure Kortney would have loved to been 'in the care of her loving family', too.
and-
9:07- 'Pulling your girlfriend back in a moving car?'
LIES.
It amazes me the extent some people will go to just to save their own self...and smearing a deceased persons name with those LIES? UNBELIEVABLE!!
One day all the LIES will catch up to Jessica.
God will see to that.
Rest in peace, sweet Kortney.
The truth WILL come out one day.
Some of you act like you were there or something. I realize you are angry about Kortney's death and need someone to blame it on since its easier to do that than to accept that Kortney made a poor decision that contributed to her own death.
I am connected to both girls involved and I can tell you that, yes, Jessie was in intensive care and, yes, she is grieving very hard. She would gladly take Kortney's place and would never have done anything to hurt her. Tests have shown that Jessie was not drinking nor under the influence of any other substance and the evidence coincides with her statement. It is what it is and I hope someday you will come to understand that Jessie loves and misses her as much as everyone.
If you knew Kortney then you also knew she was very temperamental and trying to jump out of a moving vehicle was something she has tried before btw.
If "Courtney" was like a daughter to you then I would think you could at least spell her name the way it was. K-O-R-T-N-E-Y
2:34:
Jessica was in intensive care?
For what...bruised ribs??
She walked out of there, and YOU know it.
And as for tests...those toxicology tests take a LONG TIME to come back...so try again.
And for your information I happen to have known BOTH girls very well too, thank you.
Seems to me, and others who know Jessica too, it's Jessica that has a problem with being temperamental.
And as for Kortney being temperamental, and trying that before...ANOTHER LIE...where did your information on that come from?? Jessica again?? Like shes a real pillar of truth?
Jessica is a pathological LIAR..and if YOU know Jessica YOU know this to be true...she has a BIG problem with telling the truth, and a BIG problem with taking BLAME for ANY of her own actions, no matter what it is... and Jessica would make up some story like this to save her own butt from getting in trouble.
Kortney would NEVER try to jump out of a moving car UNLESS that car was headed towards that POLE for whatever reason...if Kortney was trying to jump out of that car it was because she saw the pole coming, and she was trying to SAVE her life, NOT end it....GET REAL.
She was NOT suicidal by any means.
The only thing "that is what it is" ...is the fact that Jessica lies like a rug. PERIOD.
I don't know how some people can sleep at night, or even look at themselves in a mirror...but i guess you have to have a conscience for that.
And God knows the TRUTH....don't EVER forget that...you can't lie to Him.
You sound pretty heartless, and act as if you could care less about Kortney, her grieving family, or her TRUE friends, who by the way, all love and miss Kortney more than Jessica would ever imagine.
So STOP telling these LIES about a deceased person who can't defend herself.
That's pretty LOW, and downright despicable.
To 4:01am:
I don't usually comment on blogs but had to comment on this because I happen to know both girls too. And I wanted to say that I agree with you 100% on everything you said. Alot of people that knew both of the girls would agree,too.
Kortney was a beautiful person inside and out, with a very good, and level head on her shoulders. She was nothing like what Jessica has portrayed her to be in this accident at all. She was always happy, and full of life.
I also agree that Kortney was not suicidal, or temperamental.
That sounds more like Jessica's personality.
And to you 2:34pm:
If Jessica is telling the truth about that accident WHY did she refuse to take a lie detector test????
Nevermind, I will answer that question for you:
BECAUSE JESSICA IS LYING.
Deny that all you want, but the fact is Jessica refused to take a lie detector test, and that speaks for itself.
Also you said the 'evidence' corresponds with Jessica's story; well maybe for now it does.
In life things aren't always what they seem at first, and I truly hope and pray to God that Jessica's lies are discovered, and the REAL truth of that accident comes out for Kortneys sake, and for her family, and her friends, too.
And another thing I agree with 4:01am about:
STOP telling these horrible lies about a deceased person who can't defend herself.
It is pathetic how LOW some people will stoop to save their own skin. They make up lies to make the other person look bad. And then they turn around and say how much they love the person they were bad mouthing?
It's especially low if the person they are trashing is deceased.
That IS about as low as it gets. Thats NOT love, or any form of it, nor is it compassion.
This whole thing is just horrible, and when someones lying to save their own butt; it just makes things worse.
My heart goes out to Kortney, her family, and her friends.
God please take Kortney in Your embrace, and rest her sweet soul. Please bring her loved ones comfort, and strength to get through these long days ahead without her, and please give them strength to handle all the lies that have been told about Kortney, and please let the real truth of this accident be known, I pray this in Jesus's name, Amen.
Such a sad story....my prayers and thoughts are with everyone affected by this tragedy. May they find comfort in the memories they shared.
So I capitalized the K and The O and forgot the R , People make mistakes you know... I was in the moment and wanted my point to get across. If the person who was close to both girls Then you should know the facts about Jessica being a abusive girlfriend and telling Kortney that if she couldnt have her then no one can?????? Who says that shit?????? I want justice to be served!!!!! Korntey had such a bright promising future ahead of her!
I agree with you 7:35, Kortney had a very bright promising future ahead of her.. and now shes gone by NO fault of her own.
Jessicas lies about this crash is unbelievable.
Jessica is NOT the victim here as she would like everyone to believe...FAR from it...and i believe theres more to this crash than meets the eye.
i knew both girls and i know the way Jessica can be at times, and your right..she could be abusive..i can tell you many things that happened in that relationship... shes pushed Kortney thru a glass coffee table, and thru a bathroom wall before in the mist of arguments.
Jessica is NO saint by any means, and she will never take blame for anything she does.
Also for the record...
Jessica called Kortneys family around 9am that morning of the crash "wanting to explain HER side of the story." And she was acting like she was talking about the weather...no emotion like you'd think.
Who does that???
Hmm...seems to me people who are in such bad shape, and in intensive care dont have access to the phone, and seems to me they would be more upset about their girlfriend dying than wanting to explain "their side" of things.
I truly hope and pray the REAL truth to this comes out, and Jessicas lies are shown.
I too, hope that justice will be served for Kortney...because Kortney deserves that.
Kortney doesnt deserve to have her name trashed, and doesnt deserve to be lied about, or blamed for her own death.. all that because someones trying to save their own butt from getting in trouble.
Thats downright rotten to the core.
You cant get any LOWER than that.
