A Reply From "Everybody Loves Raymond's" Debra Barone
I recently received a reply to my letter to Debra Barone. This is what she had to say.
Thank you for your concern, Marie, but I really don't care one bit that you think I'm a bad person. Yes! Yes, I am a bad person. But I'm a bad person who can buy a good person. I can buy fifteen good people if I wanted to, Marie. Fifteen!
As for your "list," here are my replies:
- Raising children is harder than having a job. It's like three full-time jobs! Ray only has one.
- ... What do you know?
- Alright, fine! I like to sit at home and watch Montel Williams and Dr. Phil. They tell me that I should empower myself, so that's what I do!
- I can't argue with you there. Those were the only twins wearing more than diapers during auditions.
- What can I say, I was the only one wearing just underwear during auditions.
And, frankly, Marie, I don't care about fan letters.
As for my "contemporaries," I have the following to say:
- Maybe it's that Brother Justin is the devil's conduit, or maybe it's that he also had a sideshow-horror for a child, but I think he's hot. I might write him a fan letter.
- 24 is beginning to look a lot like those soaps I watch while Ray makes money for me.
- Kelly Ripa!? You take that back, or so help me..!
Again, thanks for you concern, Marie. You remind me of my meddling mother-in-law so much that I'm calling you by her name.
Go away,
Debra
PS: Take that picture down, or so help me..!
What a pleasant woman. My response is...

You don't scare me.

May 20, 2005 at 10:13amI dont think that Deborah is a bad person, she just wants a life alone with Ray and the kids.
Marie has to stick her nose in everybodys business, no wonder why frank is mean to her, she uses guilt to get what she wants. That is not right at all.
Marie says be a loving family! Well Marie, you are just like my mom and she spreads rumors about me and my soon-to-be wife. How is that loving?
Deborah, you should have taken rays advise when he told you to move far away with him, even though that was the only time he was right.
Deborah, you have a strong supporting fan on your side, just email me if Marie starts any more crap, because you dont have to take that from her.
A fan of the show
