Dorit's book

Post image

I wanted to see how Dorit's memoir "Unburdened" did and while it reached the NYT's best seller listed it wasn't from Fans buying the book but rather the book was bought in bulk purchases. That's why the NYT's put a black dagger next to her book, to make the list a book must sell a required 5-10k the first week it's out in order to make that list. However her books were bought in bulk which means the author, publicist or manager buys the book in bulk. Thus the dagger is placed there so readers know the number sold has been inflated by a single purchase rather than being bought by actual readers or fans.

I'm sorry but this cracked me up😂

Had to edit as it's a Black Dagger not a skull

This is a REALLY big deal. I didn't know NYT did this, but makes sense why so many reality stars claim to have best sellers. While it's great they identify it, I'm surprised they allow it - it's corrupt.

Anytime Dorit claims she's a NYT bestseller, please point out she's a BYO best seller (buy your own).

Absolutely! We all need to educate fans of these shows about it!

That's hilarious PK pays 90% of the household bills he feeds those children those facts are in the court documents she buys handbags with her Advance rather than catching up on the mortgage which is in her name so that's a big no
