Martyr DefinedA person who seeks sympathy or attention by feigning or exaggerating pain, deprivation, etc.
Always eager to assume the role of
martyr, Heather Mills
recently revealed that she suffered through the last season of "Dancing
With The Stars" with a broken pelvis. What's that sound I hear? No...
Not the world's tiniest violin... Why, that would be the sound of no
one giving a shit.
She says, "I had a broken pelvis when I danced in Dancing
With The Stars. I've had a broken plate for a few years now and it just
pops out now and again."
The injury forced Mills into a wheelchair, but now she's walking again
after her hip was "realigned and cracked back into place by a
chiropractor." Mills now has to find time in her busy schedule to
undergo surgery. She adds, "I just can't take four months out right
now."
You'd think that having a broken pelvis would have been a good
indicator of why someone shouldn't... oh, go on a celebrity dancing
competition show in the first place. Although, if not having two fully
functional human legs wasn't a clear enough signal -- then yeah, I
guess the pelvis thing probably wasn't going to make much difference
either. Although, to be fair to Heather, clearly she'll never be a
woman known for her good decision making skills and strong moral
compass. Nope, she'll just be known as the whorey gold digger who
publicly humiliated a beloved cultural icon and starred in a crappy
reality show with one leg and a broken pelvis. Que sera!
