True be told, our family never had the most upbeat outlook on life.
If something went wrong, they would say, “That’s typical Moss luck or something like that.” We love them, but lots of good things happened, too. But the glass was often half empty to them.
In any event, that brings us to the sad tale of ex-QVC host Antonella Nestor. One could seriously say that if she didn’t have bad luck she wouldn’t have any luck at all.
First, she was abruptly canned at QVC. We know that feeling.
Then her husband lost his job.
Then they lost their house, and planned to live on a houseboat.
Then Antonella was diagnosed with leukemia.
Then she was diagnosed with breast cancer.
Then she was undergoing painful chemo for the cancer.
Yesterday, she posted a video on Facebook saying that her husband had suffered a mild heart attack. He was in the hospital, but he was doing OK.
Seriously, how much is one person supposed to suffer?
Sending prayers to her and her husband. Lord, enough is enough for them.

I think Antonella really means it when she says her FBFS and YouTube followers are a big part of her strength! I have never understood why she was fired.
July 24, 2021 at 2:54 pm |
It is too much to handle. My prayers go out to them with healing prayers.

OMG i am so sorry for her and her family. She doesn’t deserve it, and i think QVC should help her out, she deserves it. I’ve written to them, and i think others should also. Losing their home is horrible, especially what they’re dealing with.
July 24, 2021 at 8:29 pm |
She’s been gone from QVC for over a year. I doubt very seriously that The Qurate Retail group feels any obligation to do anything for her at this point. The sad truth is that many, many, many people lost their jobs over the past year. (Myself included.) Many did not have the benefit of a 6-figure salary or a severance package on the way out. Many are sick and don’t have any choice but to get on a waiting list to be seen at the county hospital. Most of us are not well-known enough to get any more than a few bucks from a go-fund-me campaign. I’m glad Antonella’s husband is okay. I will keep Antonella in my prayers along with the many people who are much less fortunate than her right now.
July 24, 2021 at 10:33 pm
I researched just how little the hosts are paid; even the most popular ones. The network must have one heck of a bonus pay-out! Sadly, lack of money always means second class medical care in this country. Unfortunately, we don’t have county hospitals where I live, nor in other cities I have resided in. I do know of people in as bad as a situation as this one. I feel thankful sitting here, just below the poverty line. I have every thing I need.
July 25, 2021 at 3:43 pm
I’m sure Antonella got paid much more than the average person who lost their job within the last year. Plus, I’m sure she received a severance from Qurate and $123,210 from a GoFundMe campaign that was closed as of last week, but now it has reopened. And she might still have health insurance through COBRA (which most can’t afford). I don’t begrudge her. No amount of money makes having cancer easy. But at least she can get the help she needs while still being able to eat.
July 24, 2021 at 8:31 pm |
Hate to say it, and I’m in the Antonella Has Had a a Horrible Year Club, but QVC as a corporation should not help her out because they would stand to get sued by former employees who aren’t getting the same assistance. If individual employees want to help out they can do so privately.
July 24, 2021 at 9:51 pm |
Forgive me for being a pest. I commented a few times last night in Ms. Moss’s previous blog post. If you care to watch, this is Karen Connelly’s last night on ShopLC. As I stated before; Karen is retiring, but she says she’s going to have some “projects” in the future. I wouldn’t be surprised if she doesn’t come back to ShopLC with a jewelry line or a wig line in about a year. Chuck just re-up’ed and Karen is leaving. I’ll be keeping my eyes peeled.
Okay. That’s all. I don’t mean to hijack by being off-topic. Sorry!
July 24, 2021 at 11:14 pm |
Y’all Chuck just messed up and let it slip that Karen is going somewhere else. LOL!!!!!! She is probably going to strangle him when they go to break. Too funny!!! She is not “retiring”.
Okay, I’m really done this time.
July 25, 2021 at 2:13 pm
Maybe a product rep for HSN, so she can have a semi-retirement?
July 25, 2021 at 3:28 pm
That would not surprise me, cp. Chuck said on air that he’s 68 years old and I’m pretty sure she’s older than Chuck. Probably early to mid 70’s. (You can tell that she’s had some work done, although nothing over-the-top.) I doubt that she’ll be coming back full time, but she’s definitely going to pop up somewhere else. And I think she’s leaving ShopLC for a reason, but I won’t speculate here.
July 25, 2021 at 4:16 pm |
I have to disagree with Ms. Moss. Antonella’s husband did not suffer a “mild” heart attack. Ant said he had 95% blockage and went from the ambulance directly into surgery for a stent.
July 25, 2021 at 9:57 pm |
Did anybody know about this? Libby does not appear on the final list of candidates that was published by the CA Secretary of State on July 21st. I guess she didn’t meet all of the requirements? All I can say is WOW. I’ve seen everything now.

Speaking of ex hosts I did a run by HSN last night, and there was Sara Anderson hosting a lab created diamond show, with the oap being Erin Newburg. Sara had the Saturday morning fashion show at Shop HQ with Erin as her sidekick until she suddenly disappeared and Erin took over. Until she quit. Typical Sara, she hardly let Erin get a word in edgewise, though she did call her a good friend. Sure.

Yes Paula she is annoying AF. She could cut a beatch….

I can’t keep up with all the new hosts. I really missing Gabriella.
August 23, 2021 at 5:17 am |
🙏for the Nestor family. Such sweet people. We all miss Antonella so much! Please Lord, take care of them all and let them see better days soon.
September 13, 2021 at 10:13 pm |
Antonella had to be making big bucks , her home was valued close to one million dollars . You don’t get a mortgage like that when you are not making big money ! Also, her husband had dreamed of living on a boat since they were in college .
They purchased a yacht worth about $100,000 AFTER losing their jobs abs before selling their home . So they are not poor or destitute! Also, Antonella has a non compete clause in her contract for a year and non disclosed clause . She stated that before . In PA, an employer has to make an employee “whole” for the duration of the non disclosure agreement , which means health insurance must also be offered abs income for the year .
Her severance along with a GoFundMe which is $130,000 means she is making more than the donors who send their hard earned money while
working ! Also her able bodied son is living on the boat and not working .
They are docked in an expensive resort area and have a bungalow her daughter we supposedly rented , but I have a feeling they rented it off of severance money.
Antonella’s husband had a shunt put in , he’s fine and driving and outside at parties and restaurants. Antonella also posts pictures at expensive seafood restaurants in the resort area eating seafood which is not cheap .
Sorry , I went through cancer treatments and had to work to get health insurance . I could not dock a yacht and have two family members living without working with me for a year ! She also seems to be very dramatic about not having hair ; a friend gave her a human hair wig are worth at Peet’s $1000 dollars or more and people donated head wraps , but she walks around with our covering her head , which seems to be for dramatic affect .
Sorry, but she tried to grab money on Patreon before the diagnosis. She and her family seem shady to me with money grabs . They also have judgments against them for not paying bills in the past when making s nice income .
I used to like Antonella , but she got weird on the air and she is weird in her videos.
The weird voices , behavior and expressions have been going on when on the air when she was on QVC in recent years . She even showed up an hour late for a show once !
I hope she recovers and is cancer free, health issues are terrible , but she does not need QVC or anyone to rescue her financially. She is way better off than most of the people in this country! She is part of 2% upper class income earner who did not save her money if she indeed is having financial problems, she and her husband were irresponsible with a lot of money since they have judgments from before she was fired for not paying bills.
September 14, 2021 at 4:06 pm |
Jennav
You, and I, may get roasted on here, but I totally agree with you. I’ve read this blog for awhile before commenting previously, and for the most part, you can say your piece. But this subject seems to be very polarizing with everyone. Others here have hinted at what you said, treading carefully, but you put it out there, where it needs to be.
Of course, I wish Antonella recovery. But she has become a spectacle, and is, and has been for awhile, extremely unpleasant to watch. Some of her facial expressions are downright sickening. What you said about their financial situation is completely true. They do not need to beg off people who have much less. “Watch my video, to see why I cried. Watch my video, to see the latest news.” Every time people watch her videos, she gets paid.
She was acting goofy before QVC let her go. And some of her diagnosis, for awhile, were exaggerated. Whatever money problems they had, are not from Antonella being fired, they’re from blowing through their money the whole time she worked.
Again, bloggers, before you send out the lynch mob, I, and Jennav, have both wished good health for Antonella. But she and her family are a bunch of rip off artists.
September 17, 2021 at 4:49 am |
Thank you Jennav and Ella. This is what I have been feeling as well. What you say is 100% accurate. I wish her well but they come across like a family of grifters exploiting everything for more money and creepy attention from her “Bookers”. The family has become like a really bad reality show. Aside from her obvious diagnosis, there has appeared to be something very wrong with her mentally going back to when she was on QVC. What does the son do for work? Edit the ridiculous Facebook “shows?” The husband comes off equally as lazy. I can’t watch and do not watch her updates anymore. The expressions, the extreme closeups of her mouth, etc. were way too nauseating and her bizarre expressions and laughter…. sorry but there is something very off with her aside from her physical illness.
September 27, 2021 at 2:01 am |
A post in Lisa Robertson’s Facebook, eating ice cream with Antonella. Who has a pack of American Spirit cigarettes in the breast pocket of her jacket. I recognize it because my sister smokes them. If that was a borrowed jacket, one would think she’d have taken the cigs out before they went out. And it fits her well; she’s worn it before.
I agree with the last 3 posters above, and am adding this. I hope she beats cancer…..how smart is smoking while fighting it? And where is her wig? Seems she’s flaunting her bald head for effect. Must look cute, with a cig sticking out of her mouth.
The facial expressions, the tongue gymnastics….all for effect, all sickening. Remember, go fund me contributors, you’re also funding her smoking habit. She was gross and weird a few years before QVC fired her; she’s even worse now. She and her family are a bunch of pirates. Now she’s added cigs to her health/recovery regimen. Disgusting, crooked, and did I say, disgusting.
September 27, 2021 at 5:06 pm |
She’s collected over $130,000.00 from GoFundMe. Is she buying cigarettes with that?
September 27, 2021 at 8:46 pm |
Most likely. I saw the LR post yesterday, and there were no cigs in the jacket pocket when they were visiting on the boat. They ended the visit at the ice cream place, where the cigs were clearly visible (on LR’s Facebook feed). Which means she put them there, intending to smoke them.
They are using the go fund me for extras, not necessities. And, if she’s being treated for CANCER, hello, CANCER why is she smoking? There’s a lot of this story that doesn’t make sense, that isn’t true, and these people are crooks.
September 27, 2021 at 9:53 pm |
The last time I watched she was getting a chemo infusion while eating junk food. Literally. Perhaps she should ditch the cigs, booze and junk food while fighting cancer. Her “in your face” spending of the money, the husband not working and the son all partying on the boat like they are on a big vacation is sickening.. I’m also a little suspicious of this person who started the Go Fund Me. The name seems made up to me. Want to bet it was the husband or someone in her family?
September 28, 2021 at 3:00 pm |
Stopped watching her,
I have wondered myself if the GoFundMe was started by themselves using a fake name.
I read Terry’s post, and the cigarettes were not in her pocket till they were out for ice cream. Which means Antonella put them in there . Interestingly enough, you can’t see the cigarettes in Antonella’s version; she cropped the video short. They show up in Lisa’s. I looked at it all and what Terry said is legit. That jacket was on her and buttoned during the boat visit; so she added the cigarettes before she went out.
They are nothing but a bunch of scam artists. How can one take Antonella seriously? She was devastated with her hair loss. People gave her a wig and head wraps. She goes out bald. She drinks, eats junk food (on the regular; what you saw was a usual occurrence) and now her smoking habit comes to light. Gee, do you think that might have caused the cancer to begin with?!?
It’s worse than any bad reality show. And her fake crocodile tears when her friend comes by with gifts (the wig lady; forgot her name) are getting old, too. That beyotch is laughing all the way to the bank, to collect money poor clueless suckers keep contributing.
Through her last few years at QVC, and this cancer thing, I’ve learned she thrives on attention, needs to be in the spotlight, and cries and pouts to get her way.
Oh, and Terry….”tongue gymnastics”…..well said. She makes the most disgusting gestures with her mouth and tongue. And I suspect her tongue is white from tobacco use. Anyway, she turned out to be a disgusting person with a disgusting family.
September 28, 2021 at 10:47 pm |
As soon as things started looking untrustable, I felt the GoFundMe was started by Antonella or someone in her immediate family.
If you look back at her weight fluctuation, it makes sense that she’s smoked for some time. She quits smoking, gains weight, then starts smoking again to lose it. My own sister is a perfect example. However, she is doing it gradually and not gaining weight this time. She wants to be smoke free by Christmas. I hope it sticks this time.
As for Antonella, she isn’t trying very hard to be healthy, for someone so worried about her prognosis. I wish her healthy, and also her husband. But seafood is high in cholesterol, and both are eating that frequently. Sometimes, you have to work a little for your goals. And being healthy is definitely worth it.
I sincerely hope people quit contributing to her GoFundMe and other things. Quit watching her YouTube; she makes money off that. And she baits you to watch it on Facebook; don’t do it. You are supporting a bunch of con artists.
September 29, 2021 at 12:42 am |
I’m right with you girls; I’ve been feeling this, too. They’re a bunch of low class con artists. And I saw the cigarettes….on Lisa’s post. No more to say. You all said it well and I agree with you.
September 29, 2021 at 4:41 pm |
Antonella apparently finished her treatment, which is good .
I found her over the top celebrating , giggling and humming the theme from Rocky, videotaping every moment from walking into the hospital to walking out , including her husband when going in the radiation room to show us the table , until she had to take off her shirt , extremely cringeworthy!
She truly is a reality star wanna be !
What what was worse was her telling her fans that the GoFundMe paid for medicine and housing , and she would have never been able to do it without them . She did this by pulling down her mask and talking about in the radiation waiting room !
It’s obvious she has insurance , or I’m sure the GoFundMe would be set to 1 million instead of $150,000!
But, if anyone is paying attention to her old videos there are many inconsistencies, or outright lies !
She paid for housing ? Where ? She said her daughter rented a place for her to stay in . Of course the house was just a little apartment at first , and then it was a house .
Medicine ? She has insurance and salary compensation in order to have non- compete and non disclosure agreements ! The employer had to compensate you for the amount of time you have those agreements .
She needed s GoFundMe when her salary afforded a mortgage for s 9,000+ square foot house worth close to a million ?
She is also dripping in gold jewelry and even wears it to treatment ! Of course she walks around with no hair , no very expensive wig or no hats or scarves, even though she cried and said she couldn’t handle being bald !
I hope she is ok , I hope she continues to heal , but it sure looks like the grifting will continue!
Apparently there is speculation that she will be working with Lisa R selling jewelry , but she also is planning to be in Caribbean for the winter on the yacht . Probably remote sales will be happening .
Too bad she isn’t honest and doesn’t tell her donors they funded her and her family living on a yacht in snd expensive resort area , dinners our rating pricey seafood in the resort area, her adult son living on the yacht , and the “housing”, SUV they ride in all the time , and her cigarettes and booze , things everyone fighting cancer should indulge in !
She also is ending her video with suspense saying she’s “done for now”!! The cliffhanger and opening to new videos to make sure the kidney keeps coming so she can fly cost free from the Caribbean to her checkups when needed and stay at nice hotels without using her money .
I am sorry if this sounds cynical , but she and her family are not poor or in need of donations . She had insurance , severance from salary which was more than 98% of people make over 10 years , and many luxuries like having adult family members able to not work for
year and live on a yacht while being able to cater to her !
The money grabs are not our or necessity, they are to keep an upper clsss lifestyle going while not touching her own money .
BTW if you check out the GoFundMe me it starts with many lies , one being her length of time on qvc, it states she was on 20 years and it was 17. It also implies she sold everything because of her cancer diagnosis, when in fact the boat life was something her hubby and she wanted to do since college !
September 29, 2021 at 10:57 pm |
Jennav, interesting that she took the time to defend how she spent the Go Fund Me money suddenly. Me thinks the grifter must read here. Anyone who funds this family is nuts. This woman has insurance, her husband doesn’t work, the son hangs with them and they are going to the Carribean this winter??? Sickening!! I feel for the thousands of people going through treatment that face extreme financial hardship and aren’t eating lobster, dripping in gold jewelry and wintering in the Carribean. I don’t feel sorry for this family at all any longer. And LR is an ass for supporting her. Gullible doesn’t even begin to describe these “Bookers” who give this woman money.
September 30, 2021 at 3:20 pm |
I am not sure they are going to the Caribbean, but Antonella did mention sailing to warmer climates and said something about the Caribbean. This was she had mentioned . It is sickening that people think this family is poor and in need of a GoFundMe! To call it a cancer fundraiser is despicable! Antonella was begging for money to support their yacht life before she was diagnosed. She actually has a Patreon account that links to her YouTube channel . On the account you literally can donate to treat her husband to a beer, treat Antonella
to a martini and “feed the whole crew “!
So, these people who had a near million dollar home have two Patreon accounts, one for Antonella and one for there yacht life ! They actually wanted diane’s to suppers them not working and living on a yacht while the sailed to warm climates !
When Antonella was diagnosed they suddenly lied on the GoFundMe and turned it into a cancer fundraiser, even though she has insurance and money from her employer for a year !
They truly are grifters and con artists . To think she was begging for money from hard working people to support their yacht dream is just gross !
Lisa may end up regretting working with Antonella!
September 30, 2021 at 4:03 pm |
Jennav, Stopped watching her
I have seen her thick pieces of gold jewelry; selling them at today’s prices would have brought in some helpful $$$$ if she truly needed money.
I wasn’t sure about the first “sympathy account”, but after what I’ve seen with those con artists, I’m not surprised. And they seem to dock/stay in all the 5 star places. And since she’s such a “great cook”, they could save money if they ate at home instead of fancy restaurants.
I liked her when she first went to QVC, but she evolved into a weird nutcase after a few years and I couldn’t watch her. And now, she is just disgusting and sickening to watch. I’m hoping some “fan” catches her smoking, and posts a picture on the internet.
If they do winter in the Caribbean, I hope those who donated money to her open their eyes to these scammers. If they do go there, I’m sure we’ll get frequent updated, scenery pictures, and of course, the obligatory pictures of her disgusting tongue and mouth antics. Maybe she’ll even accidentally post a selfie of her with a cigarette hanging out of her nasty mouth.
I hope her treatments cured her; glad she doesn’t have those way-too-personal details to drag people through. I’ve never watched her YouTube; I refuse to do anything to contribute to her. Even though they’ll still be in our faces with their latest “crises”, I wish they’d just disappear off social media and other media for good, so we don’t have to see her constant pandering.
September 30, 2021 at 7:08 pm |
Well, kind bloggers, your words ring true. The gold jewelry has always gotten under my skin. That thick herringbone necklace is worth $$$$$$$. So are the bracelets.
I hope LR reads this and other (yes, there are others) blogs where people are spilling the bitter tea on the nasty Nesters. If she hires Antonella, she will be sorry beyond words. S-O-R-R-Y. Her sales will go down faster than an elevator on broken cables. The grifter will bury LR’s business. To her credit, LR has worked hard on that business…from scratch.
Grifter will gross customers out, act her weird nasty self, and customers will go elsewhere.
Come on, people, put 2 and 2 together. WAKE UP!!!! LISA, DON’T DO IT, DON’T HIRE HER!!!!
October 2, 2021 at 2:45 am |
Is Lisa Rinna hiring her?
October 2, 2021 at 2:47 am
Does this mean Lisa Rinna is hiring Antonella?
October 3, 2021 at 7:00 pm
Diane, not Rinna, Robertson. Take a look at Robertson’s website if you aren’t familiar. She started by selling 1 kind of earrings, and parlayed it into a huge business.
September 30, 2021 at 7:32 pm |
So, will Antonella realize she needs to stop boozing snd smoking
to help her stay in remission ?
September 30, 2021 at 8:41 pm |
Jennav
If she couldn’t stop during treatment, especially chemo, I doubt if she’ll stop now. She’s obviously had a smoking problem for awhile. As I mentioned before, that would explain her fluctuating weight. Smoke, lose weight; stop smoking, gain weight, and smoke to lose that weight. I don’t care how hard it would be to quit, I would quit to avoid cancer, or especially if I had it.
Evidently, she has an addiction that she can’t break. And she drinks quite a bit, too. Both should be taboo to a cancer patient. They don’t eat healthy, either. Their restaurant meals are cholesterol laden, and they eat a ton of junk food. Whenever she cooks, she puts cubes of butter in everything. A little butter is fine; a truckload is not. Plus the finger licking, double dipping taste testing 🤢. Couldn’t watch long. Anyway, I doubt she’ll change her ways.
September 30, 2021 at 9:13 pm |
Exactly Terry. Plus, this woman clearly drinks like a fish. One of her cancers is breast cancer. It is a scientific fact that alcohol increases estrogen and someone with her diagnosis should not be drinking. This woman has two horrific cancers and she treats the entire situation like a giant party laughing all the way. Most normal people are shocked into reality and completely overhaul their lifestyle. Her treatments will be counterproductive if she does not change her habits. I am stunned the doctors haven’t explained this to her but, trust me, the traditional medical industry can be clueless to nutrition, etc. and frankly some doctors don’t care what patients do. Remember, she also had POS doctors who screwed up the original biopsy, it took forever for Jefferson to start her treatment and so on…. so no matter what she spouts, she does not have a good medical team.
So just a note to the ignorant “Bookers” and You Tubers, you are pissing your money away investing in this mentally unstable woman.
October 1, 2021 at 8:08 pm |
Stopped watching her,
She has had several misdiagnoses, and I don’t think she has ever specified exactly what her diagnosis is. Smoking, which I’m sure she has been doing for awhile, is most likely the cause of her cancer. My former MIL (I was married briefly long ago) had BC in the late 1970s; she was in her 60s. She had smoked, although not heavily, most of her adult life. When diagnosed, she never touched another cigarette. She had a modified radical mastectomy and radiation. She was cured. Her doctor said smoking definitely contributed to her cancer.
So whatever cancer Antonella has/had, was probably caused by smoking. And she still smokes. And drinks….the pirates on that ship are a bunch of drunks. And better to forego yachting, and stay on land near good reliable medical care 🤦🏼♀️. Forgive me, universe, if I’m wrong, but judging by her actions, her illness may not be as serious as she lets on. And reading Jennav’s post below, she was absolutely entitled and badly behaved in the hospital.
She isn’t going to change; it’s going to be a cringe show of “poor, poor me” from now on. And bookers beware: the Nesters are partying hard on YOUR money.
Side to Judy: your story about Tony was charming. And funny that Antonella sans hair looks like a man in his late 70s!! 2 very different “Tonys”, from what you said.
September 30, 2021 at 9:48 pm |
Jenna, stopped watching her, Terry, Ella,
I wish I’d seen your posts earlier. I agree with all of you 150%. I started noticing foul play awhile back. They are con artists playing on the emotions of people WHO NEED TO DO BETTER RESEARCH AND LEARN TO QUESTION SUSPICIOUS THINGS. I haven’t cared for Antonella for several years. Her camera hog, goofy faces, bizarre behavior and appearance were a total turnoff. I hope she’s cured, that’s all.
I have to add a funny story, may the late, dear Old Tony please forgive me. When I was in college, I worked lunch shifts at a high end food and cocktail restaurant. I went to school at night. I served food and drinks, and all in all it was a likeable crowd of regulars.
There was an older man, near 80, who was the bar “mascot”. He came in every day, had a cigarette (this was before no smoking laws…I’m old) and 1 shot of Jack Daniels. He sat there for awhile. He was “grandpa” to all us girls; protective, sweet, and always had something nice to say. If any new comers came in and tried to hit on us, he’d step up and say “that’s my granddaughter. You leave her alone”. Not large in stature, Old Tony was large in spirit. We all loved him.
What did Old Tony look like? Bald Antonella….almost exactly, except Tony usually had a 5 o’clock shadow. He looked exactly. like. her. I can imagine a cigarette in her mouth. The resemblance would be even more uncanny.
Tony was bald, too. He always wore a hat. But he didn’t have a gross mouth, nor did he do disgusting contortions with it.
I kept looking at her after her hair was gone and thinking “who does she remind me of?” It hit me a few days ago. Old Tony, rest his soul. And yes, he wore it better. 😇🤠
October 1, 2021 at 2:04 pm |
Terry , loved your Tony story !
Antonella does look very manly . She does not have the face for a bald head . Of course it is her choice as to whether she wears a wig or not , but the drama and video of the wig gift where she cried about how hard it was to lose her hair snd look at herself in the mirror now seems like a lot of BS to make another YouTube video for $$$$, and get more GoFundMe dollars !
She also made a video of many head wraps snd hats that were given to her by family and friends ! Another YouTube money video ! But she never wore even a scarf to go to treatment , the hospital with her hubby, restaurants or the boat show !
When asked wny she doesn’t wear the wig she said it was too hot ! Really ?? She’s wearing a Jean jacket and going in air conditioned places and she can’t even put a scarf on her head if it bothers her to walk around bald ? She obviously doesn’t care that she has no hair and also wants people to see her bald for sympathy. Crying when putting on a show and accepting a very expensive wig is totally fake and for show, just like her whining about money !
She was singing Bon Jovi doing chemo , running around video taping her every step to ringing the bell, and even having her husband go in the radiation room to record, shows how she is in need of constant attention and is only worried about her YouTube money . Talking about her GoFundMe in the waiting room with her mask pulled down was just so gross !
The radiation technologist had to tell goofy Antonella not to take a video of confidential information on the computer screen!
Such a gross display of insensitivity to others who may even be terminal and walking around the treatment center to be doing the Rocky theme singing in the hallway and elevator and having her husband follow her around with another camera while she was so goofy !
I had treatment and never saw anyone behave like Antonella ! She just wants content for her show for money! I think her husband and son will be editing a who YouTube series so they can make money and be in a nice warm climate on their yacht while their donors go to work and send them more money all winter! She will whine wne lie about being broke and needing to fly up north for checkups and rent a car . So the money will pour in !
Lisa better have an iron clad contract with the grifter who seems to have some kind of mental problem, or maybe he’s some addiction issues which would explain her bizarre behavior and appearance on QVC over the past few years and blowing through a six figure income and having judgments against her and her husband for not paying bills when working ! Her son seems just as irresponsible and lazy . Why is he able to sail around for a year living off of a GoFundMe when he is 30 years old ? He also doesn’t look like he’s been employable from his appearance. It seems like some strange thing is going on with them financially and Antonella’s change in appearance and behavior the last few years on QVC may be related to this situation .

Jennav,
I usually don’t watch her videos, but I saw that one. What a gross, insensitive display of entitlement and attention grabbing. The medical staff should have refused her treatment unless she got rid of the video camera and the hammy acting. Wasting the staff’s time and minimizing an illness that I’m sure others were there being treated for.
This type of behavior belongs to an exhibitionist……a limelight thief at that. Her treatments are over but I promise, her shi#y videos aren’t. At this point, anyone who contributes to her fund is as cracked in the head as she is. Instead, why not contribute to cancer research? Or to someone you know who needs help? Or, just continue to throw your money into the bonfire. These scammers don’t need your money. A true example of “a fool and their money are soon parted”.
Anyone who thinks they have the right to disturb the peace in a hospital or treatment center just because they’re on their last treatment is an attention whore. I’ve never seen such a despicable display of weirdness, entitlement, and attention whore in my life as the mess these scammers recorded at her last treatment.

I’m glad you liked my story. Tony was unforgettable; 1 of a kind. I was thinking back about those days, and the restaurant, and it hit me: THAT’S who bald Antonella reminds me of.
I don’t watch her YouTube, but I occasionally glance at her Facebook. Her behavior in the hospital is despicable. Taking off her mask in the waiting room to make a video?! 😱 What an entitled bitc#. Running around, humming, with hubby and video camera right there. How about a video of leaving the hospital after the last treatment, and taping a celebration dinner instead?
I have a friend who is a breast cancer survivor. She didn’t have much financially, but made do. She had us…a support group of friends and relatives. She didn’t advertise her illness to gain sympathy, or beg for money. She is still with us and doing well. I’m glad your treatments are over Jennav, and I hope you’re cured.
As for Antonella, she needs to forget about stupid videos, begging for money, and acting nutty. She needs to focus on eliminating her bad habits and getting healthy. But will she? I doubt it.

The fact that she was permitted to behave in this manner for filming purposes within Jefferson shows how unprofessional the hospital is imo. They should have told her absolutely no filming particularly in this highly sensitive part of the hospital. Some people there are very sad and not doing well and in comes this attention whore laughing, filming, the husband acting like some sort of teen and so on. I feel for other family members and patients in this department when this idiot comes through. I hope they file a complaint. Hospitals should absolutely prohibit filming by patients for some sort of twisted Go Fund Me money within their hospitals. It’s lunacy to permit it and encourage it.
I also think she had/has some sort of addiction issue whether it be alcohol or something. I do think she is a drunk. Her nose has taken on that alcoholic extreme swelling over the years like the actor Karl Malden.
October 1, 2021 at 11:26 pm |
I am in remission so far ! It’s scary whenever I have a check up .
I am sure that he doctors told her what she should and shouldn’t do to be healthy, but she doesn’t listen . She was told by her doctors she ouldn’t live on a boat , but she laughed it off !
Her cooking was so unhealthy , putting two sticks of butter on pasta sauce ? Cream cheese in lasagna ? She would put at least a half a pound of butter in her recipes . Nothing like real southern Italian cooking !
She would giggle and laugh about the tons of fat in her recipes! Is it a surprise that her husband had a heart attack ?
I do think something is wrong with her either due to some mental problem or some kind of substance abuse . The change from when she started on QVC is so extreme ! Also, not paying bills while living in a $900,000+ home sounds like money was either going somewhere not so good !

Jennav,
I hope your cancer stays away for good, and you are cured. Checkup time must be difficult for you. I wish you the best.
I don’t get Antonella’s drive for southern Italian food. She’s inherently from Rome… it’s a different region. And, I went to school with a girl from southern Italy. That is, she was born here just months after her parents emigrated. We are, and were good friends, and I ate with them a lot. They use olive oil and very little butter. And wouldn’t be caught dead using cream cheese in lasagna 🤮. They use beef, pork, and chicken. Tons of veggies and fruit. Pasta and bread in healthy amounts. Antonella’s cooking looks like a wannabe Italian/MacDonald’s hybrid. Apologies, Macdonald’s.
My friend’s parents were good cooks. She and I visit occasionally, and she is an excellent cook. She knows her southern Italian cuisine very well, and makes over the top delicious food. NOTHING like Antonella’s food. And yes, Antonella’s cooking, and hubby’s drinking are heart attack bait. I wonder if he smokes, too.
Antonella isn’t about to change her ways. One thing I think is for sure, she got the spotlight bug while working at QVC. She craves attention. And especially if it brings her money. I think she has some psychological disorder triggered by the need for attention. I wish she’d crawl back under a rock.

In the videos that I have seen she speaks in a very, very exaggerated manner and pronounces her words so slowly and opens her mouth wide. This is very similar to what people do who are intoxicated and they are trying to present as if they are sober. She probably doesn’t even realize she is doing it. Almost all of the videos I have seen in the past….the woman appears as if she has been drinking. A lot.
October 3, 2021 at 7:05 pm |
Stopped watching her,
Agreed. And, everyone I’ve known who smokes, has told me that drinking, especially heavily, makes you smoke more. If you smoke, and you have cancer, chances are, smoking caused your cancer. It isn’t rocket science, Antonella.
October 3, 2021 at 10:51 pm |
I really liked Antonella when she first started. As you’ve all said, booze, or something else has changed her demeanor. Honestly, I think it’s more limelight fever and money hunger than anything.
Her behavior at the hospital was terrible. And I saw the cigs….. pretty sure they’re hers. To pretend to be worried about her illness, then not listen to doctors’ and probably friends’ advice is hypocritical. She will not heal smoking, drinking, and eating crap foods. As another poster suggested, maybe she isn’t as ill as she lets on.
I hope she is cured. But I will not look at another thing on line, etc, about her. She is a ruthless, money grubbing con artist, aided and abetted by her thieving family. They’re all nuts.
October 4, 2021 at 6:05 pm |
I used to really like Antonella when she started .
It does seem like there was a drastic change in her in every way !
I agree, I do believe a lot of it is limelight fever . But she also has a strange change on appearance, and as other posters pointed out , her speech and manner looks like she’s drunk or using some substance .
She used to be classy and down to earth. Then she started cackling , having no filter and her appearance became awful, especially the blonde hair . But besides the blond hair she looked messy and like she crawled out of bed . She made weird faces and voices . She also was gross during food segments , picking at her teeth, using that tongue all over and chewing with her mouth open while talking super loud ! I could not believe the change in her when I hadn’t seen her in a while and tuned in . She was cringeworthy and behaved like she had no self control .
I still think something is going on that caused the family to blow through money and have judgments against them for not paying bills when Ant was making six figures!
There is also something strange about how she behaved after being diagnosed with lymphoma which she later referred to as leukemia.
Antonella was inviting strangers to her yacht and taking picture with her arms around them , going to restaurants, and also sitting next to a person who lived near the home she was staying in the resort areas as she filmed a video . She also went to some boat parade which had a crowd and was talking to strangers . She never had a mask on except a couple of times when she was in the hospital area , and then she pulled it down to make videos. How can a person with lymphoma or leukemia do that during a pandemic when they are immunocompromised? Now she says her immunities are “normal”. That makes no sense if you are dealing with lymphoma, you can be stable , but you’re immunities are not normal . And why did she call it leukemia too ?
She seems to be purposely vague to create sympathy and drama, or she is so just so out there she can’t remembered what her doctors say .
Something is definitely strange !
October 4, 2021 at 6:27 pm
Jennav,
I do agree. There is a possibility of substance abuse, especially from her looks and demeanor. The changes started awhile before she was off QVC. Like you said, she lost her filter, and became gross to watch.
And the money…poured right in, poured right out. Drugs are a known bank account emptier. And she kept posting money saving tips, like doing her own nails. Why? With her money, visiting a manicurist regularly should have been no problem. And the home cooking posts …🤢😵😱😖.
And I was shocked at her bringing strangers on board, removing her mask at the clinic, etc. Going through chemo, and radiation definitely lowers immunity…by a LOT. If she were concerned about her health like she says she is, she would be taking extra precautions, not mingling with strangers and going maskless.
Anyway, they ARE a family of grifters, and contributing to their GoFundMe is contributing to whatever vices have previously and currently eaten up their money.
October 13, 2021 at 3:03 pm |
Dianne,
Now Antonella posted picture of the side effects of chemo and radiation, including a burned boob ad she called it ! I had more chemo wnd radiation than Antonella and way more severe side effects that still linger , but taking pictures to show people online while she posts her Patreon account address on YouTube is so obnoxious!
I always thought she add unhinged for the last few years on QVC and was gross snd unwatchable, especially when eating . But this grifting while they live on a yacht is so ridiculous. Using cancer to get money is so so low .
October 14, 2021 at 2:26 pm |
It appears overall that she either has a diagnosable mental illness and/or is an alcoholic and this is going back long before her cancer diagnosis. Any sane person would stop drinking while going through chemo, radiation and her illness however drinking is something she laughs about and brags about and has from the beginning. I haven’t watched her in quite a while but it sounds like nothing has changed. It is clear she can’t stop drinking. Anyone who still supports this grifter family is clearly sick in the head themselves.
October 15, 2021 at 1:01 am |
It all went downhill for her when she dyed her hair blonde.
November 16, 2021 at 3:07 pm |
Antonell basically begging for more money after over $136,000 in donations , and a severance? Her husband can steer a boat to warmer climates but he can’t work now ?
Sorry , but her latest begging is a video where she implies she didn’t have insurance , but then at the end says that insurance doesn’t pay for everything!
In PA employers have to pay benefits and salary for the length of a non compete contract , she had a years worth of a noncompete !
She also said she didn’t make a lot of money at QVC ! Umm her home was listed for over $900,000 and was 9,000 square feet ! How did they get financed for a home that expensive If they were not making a lot of money ?
Right now is just despicable with her begging and saying that now they have to treat the leukemia , which btw used to be lymphoma! So they said to warmer climates when she supposedly needs treatment ,even though in the past she said they were just going to watch the lymphoma ?
The lying , playing with words abs begging when she has had a years salary and a huge GoFundMe is nauseating!
November 16, 2021 at 6:06 pm |
Antonella is asking for money in an indirect way again !
She’s now saying she needs to deal with leukemia, which she said was lymphoma in the past . But, they have sailed to warmer climates?
She also implied she couldn’t get health insurance and then said “insurance doesn’t pay for everything “! She also said that a dancer institute wouldn’t treat them if they didn’t have money and implied that the donations paid doe treatment .
I had cancer, no way are you turned away if your are really in need .
It’s sickening to see her twisting words abs playing with the truth to tug at people’s heart strings for money !
I worked during treatment and didn’t live ona yacht and a home in a resort area so I could recover . But , I don’t blame her if she doesn’t want to work right now .
Her husband had a very mild heart attack , he’s able to steer a boat and is ok. He actually could get a job and so could her 30 year old son!
She actually also said she didn’t make a lot o money on QVC! How did she get financed for a home worth close to a million dollars with 9,000 square feet I’d she was not making six figures ?
I used to like her , now she just seems like a con artist !

I hadn’t watched Antonella in a long time. I recently watched her making stuffed peppers with raw turkey. The dump of a boat she lives on apparently has no consistent running water so her hands are covered in raw turkey and she discovers that can’t wash them. She then goes on to touch everything….. the olive oil bottle and everything else around her. This is the most unsanitary woman I have ever seen. She’ll be lucky if she doesn’t give salmonella to everyone she feeds. She’s revolting. She also mentioned in the video that Elise Ivy was leaving QVC and they were going to “do something” together (all the misfits getting together form QVC apparently). Who couldn’t see that one coming?. Elise and her oddball “Guapo” blog screamed of a desperate girlfriend. QVC has zero good hosts at all anymore and hasn’t for years.
January 4, 2022 at 7:35 pm |
I held a job wherein I inspected restaurants for food safety. This is just terrible.
January 8, 2022 at 8:23 pm
LL, Isumi,
Was that the video where she stuck her filthy nose in the meat 🤮🤮🤮🤮?
And Jennav,
I have seen enough of her Facebook to see the money begging you speak of. She’s absolutely disgusting. She opens her mouth and constantly is moving her fungus covered tongue and I guess she thinks that will bring her sympathy???
She still wears the denim jacket, so the cigarettes were hers. Smoke on camera, Antonella, show us more of the real you. Just to add, my sister has been smoke free for 2 months 👍.
Anyway, they’ll keep scamming as long as people keep contributing. And scamming is what it is.
January 12, 2022 at 7:30 pm |
Not only did she touch everything while preparing her gross version of stuffed peppers without washing her hands , she put plain tomato paste on the peppers and spread it with her fingers ! Then she locked her fingers after they were mixing raw Turkey and also spreading sauce on the raw Turkey !
January 13, 2022 at 9:01 pm
I meant to say she licked her fingers after touching raw meat and said she probably shouldn’t have done that !
For someone who supposedly has leukemia and lymphoma, she is the most insanitary person !
She invited total strangers to her boat abs takes pictures with them and and arm with no masks , smokes , and is totally gross when she cooks and eats ! Blech !
January 10, 2022 at 7:33 pm |
Just thinking about people eating ANY food she prepared literally makes me feel ill.
January 13, 2022 at 9:43 pm |
After chemo, like she has had, her immune system would be very low for quite a while. I cant believe the hospital did not educate her in food safety as even bacteria in salad could be dangerous to her and here she is licking raw meat and living with no real running water. She is an absolute moron and the minions who follow her are pathetic. Are they still giving this grifter family money? What a bunch of suckers.
January 16, 2022 at 2:55 am |

The GoFundMe account is still up and running, and Antonella and her crew of merry Pirates are still taking from it.
I cannot believe people still fall for her lies.
There’s an old saying, “a fool and their money are soon parted”. I think this applies very much here.
January 20, 2022 at 5:38 pm
Antonella and crew are now on their way to the Bahamas according to Elyse Ivy who just left QVC and is buddies with antonella .
I do not get how people do not realize this is not a family in need of a GOFundMe. Their life is not cheap and they are not doing anything to get jobs . Really weird ! Oh
