Not that I think much of Renata myself, but in all fairness, she likely has little choice here. If she doesn't want Thug and Diane to cut off any & all financial support, then what else can she do but go along with whatever bullshit the Fords are going to continue shoveling? She doesn't look particularly employable to me, and she (presumably) has the kids to think of. Plus whatever lovely little drug habits of her own she's continuing to nurture.
Somebody said she could probably clean up handsomely by participating in a tell-all book now that the Fords' golden goose has kicked the bucket, but remember that these people are highly vindictive and actively seek to harm their enemies. I doubt Renata wants to be thrown off a balcony any time soon.
I was willing to give her the benefit of the doubt until now. She sounds just as stupid as the rest of them. Who would think it's a good idea to let a 9 year old boy do an interview the day after his dad died? Those poor kids should have chosen their parents more carefully.
"I do give my permission," she said Thursday. "He loves the media. He wants to be on camera. He's a little rascal. He sees the media and he runs to them."

It's nice to live in a world where money solves everything.I was chatting a bit with some old football teammates. Some of them are really upset about Ford's passing, even though we played for him so long ago.
Here's one positive story from back in the day. We had this new running back who transferred over from another school. Guy was an amazing athlete--best player on our team. But he'd be slipping and sliding all over the field. Rob asks him what's up, and he says his family was too poor to afford football cleats so he had to use this cheap old running shoes with no traction. Ford just hands him $100 out of his own pocket to go buy himself some real shoes. Then he starts running through the league's best defences almost single handedly with little help from us. So Rob definitely had his good side.
My understanding is that Rob was considered the responsible one, was he not? Wasn't he the one who CAS would give the kids to if it came to that? She has no job and yet her parents are the kids day to day caregivers.
But it is true that she has to be a puppet for Thug and Diane, lest the purse strongs be cut off. Renata's statement about the kid loving the media and always running to them has Doug all over it. Isn't this the first time we have ever heard from the kid? It's obviously what he told her to tell the media after he realized that his little scheme blew up.

I'm getting the feeling that Domise didn't like Robbie.A good reminder about Ford's legacy of helping "the little guy" : http://tvo.org/article/current-affa...-rob-ford-legacy-that-many-refuse-to-confront

Doug says John Tory has 'bent over backwards' to accommodate the family's wishes for Rob's funeral, along w/ police and city officials.
But even his compliments are back handed, "bent over backwards" indeed. He really does have a way with words.A Ford says something nice about John Tory. Hell has frozen over.
