Tears? I was there most of the evening and the only tears I saw were tears of laughter at the trolls that swarmed the room. It sure wasn't from sadness, grief or anything of the like. She was trolling the trolls and it was funny as hell.
The 2k tip is for a raffle she has going on, which is the first one I have ever seen her do. It must be a hit, she had to change containers to put all the tickets in because she filled the first jar up in less than a week. She now is using a trashcan (ironically) to put them in, which is already half full on the 8th day of the month.
These guys must really want to meet her and spend some time with her. The raffle is to go on vacation with her somewhere around the planet. She has 7 choices on her profile for 6 to 16 day trips costing between $6,000 and $26,995 that the winner can pick from. Not sure who is picking up the tab on this. I would think Olivia is since it is a contest. We will see at the end of the month. Don't know how much of a win it would be if it's gonna cost the winner $20k to take the trip. No matter who a trip is with, that's pretty pricey for your average perv on MFC. I know I can't afford that kind of money to go on vacation.
As mentioned, i was in for like 30sec, and she didn't start balling, but looked like she was going to start tearing up. Her reaction just seemed over the top for some one who at that point had made more in a 2hours then lots make in a year. That's not unique to her, you see it lots from all range.
As to who pays, be worth finding out, purely from a curiosity stand point. Like to give the benefit of the doubt, but would she really take a random deperate from the internet on a week's holiday ? Sounds like a nice way to end up in a hole.
Already been said, you don't like her, don't watch, i don't, but she seems good at marketing herself, and can't fault her for that
