I (Sort Of) Don’t Give a Damn About My Bad Reputation
There seems to be a major issue with me doing anything but scamming people out of their money these days. Try to do something with your life, and you get lambasted with negative comments about, well, everything. Want to fuck on camera? People complain. Want to write for a website or magazine? People complain. Want to work for a charity, saving AIDS babies from global warming? People complain.
The point is, after you fuck up, there is little you can do to rectify yourself. Everyone will always see you as what you were; which in my case is “The Hipster Grifter.”
Anytime you veer from that path, people will have something to say. If you do try to do good, people will chime in, saying that you don’t care about such and such cause, and that you’re just doing it for the publicity. If you don’t try to do anything and wish to remain in the low-light, people will get on you for not making a difference, and not using your notoriety for positive things. It’s a lose-lose situation, and it pretty much sucks like a senator (R) in the little boy’s room.
I recognize that I made huge mistakes, and this is what I get; made my bed, now I have to fuck in it. Everyone has to deal with the subsequent consequences of their decisions, and I understand that completely. I’m not trying to skirt my “fate,” but it gets pretty obnoxious, knowing that even though you are sorry and regret what you did, no one will ever believe you.
So, to all of you who have an issue with me: Thank you. I don’t think that you realize that the more you hate on me, the more publicity I get, and the closer I come to getting paid real money for doing close to nothing at all. Keep it up.
Oh, and I’m paying a visit to good ol’ Gawker this afternoon, to do a live Q&A. Come and talk shit! Check in with them for details.

"it gets pretty obnoxious, knowing that even though you are sorry and regret what you did,"
I hardly see how making money off of your infamy is showing how you are sorry and regret what you did. Nice try but your still a piece of shit.
gook go back to your country and die.
so does that mean you will post your hipster shit elsewhere?
not only are your posts vain and vapid, but you totally lack charisma and style.
this was one of the coolest most original blogs around, until your posts starting showing up.
You are to blogging as HIV is to Sub Saharan Africa.
dk: Ever-present? Something you can't get from virgins? I'm confused.
I'd say she's doing quite well over at Gawker: http://gawker.com/5485699/kari-ferrell-will-now-t…
Just wait. The plot will thicken.
@Bucky – Did you read the comment thread over there – extra crispy
@Not really, I scanned a few, there's way too many and Gawker commenters truly are the bearers of the 7th ring of Hell.
Girl, the thing is, now that you've been lambasted you can rise above it and speak the fuckin' truth because you really have no one to please at this point but yourself. I've done a lot of fucked up shit to but I've realized that it is possible to rise above it and become something greater than our previous selves. Rebirth, bitches! It works!
i actually like the shit out of this blog you're doing. you did your time, it's over. the blog is good.
good luck ma'am.
I just like that there are naked pics of you on the web…is that so wrong?
GOOK TAKE A BATH IN NAPALM.
It's a total lose-lose, Kari, but at least you're losing in style. Keep it up!
I think I might have to grow my beard again for you!
I'm still waiting for my slow-dance. (smile)
(First of all, to those of you calling Kari a "gook"….get fucked forever. Seriously. Kari being Korean has nothing to do with anything.)
Now, the thing is, you're NOT fucking sorry. You've never once given a genuine apology to anyone. Not anyone that I know, anyway. Not me, or any of my friends who honestly cared about you and your well-being. It makes me want to barf that you are getting a chance to write, a chance to make any money off of any of this. If you would just get help (which you most certainly need, no matter how much you cover it up with "wit" and faux-nonchalance) and try not to be an obnoxious piece of garbage, any decent person would forgive you. But, of course, then no one would care about you any more. Not that anyone truly does. You're either going to die alone, or surrounded by people who are only interested in you because you're a novelty. That will pass, though, too, and then you'll be nothing, once again.
Oh, and thanks for "borrowing" my old phone, even though yours wasn't stolen. That was nice of you.
Kari, You wrote, "…after you fuck up, there is little you can do to rectify yourself." You are mistaken. You can turn your life around with productive behavior that benefits yourself and society as whole. You will still make mistakes from time to time, but as long as you are committed to not harming others and improving yourself (your character, job skills, education, etc.), you will do quite well as time passes. Your whole life is in front of you. You will determine how the story plays out. Some people start in life and turn themselves into Mother Teresa, others turn themselves into Pol Pot. Look at your strengths and build on them. Look at your weaknesses, recognize them for what they are, and take corrective action. Be careful about the choices you make, we all have to. Hang in there, pal!
wahts a gook. i thought she was a zipperhead.
Looking at the comments on this page and gawker really put me on your side. All of these guys wouldn't be commenting "I hope you die lonely and alone!!!" if you were a male ex-scam artist, they wouldn't bother to comment at all. Your "story" or whatever is dredging up the same old ugly sexism– it doesn't even matter to guys like this whether you did something heroic or cowardly, all that matters is that it's intimidating to men.
After all, we all know it's only ok to steal and lie if you're a white man in a position of power. How dare you do those things while female, and Asian no less? I'm glad you're famous and I hope you get more famous to piss these losers off.
Jamie, since I'm the one who said that Kari will die alone, I think that it's important for you to know that I am not a male who is intimidated by her, I'm a female, the exact same age, and was a good friend to her, even after I (rightfully) suspected that everything that came out of her mouth was a lie.
If one of your "friends" told you she had cancer and was dying and was constantly coughing up blood and going to the hospital, and you found out it was 100% fabricated, wouldn't you be a BIT incensed about the whole thing? When you discovered that she had been running scams on people, taking their money, and you realized that you had invited into your home, the home of your friends, that you had gotten her a place to live with someone you knew, never even THINKING that she was capable of fucking with completely innocent people?
I didn't do a single thing. I'm not a "white man in position of power". I'm a completely normal person who Kari tried to fuck over (luckily, I didn't have money to give her in the first place, despite the check scam she most definitely tried to pull on me, after I had purchased her meals, metrocards, etc). I wasn't some dude who wanted to have sex with her, I was just a girl who thought she was a neat person who had just moved to New York and might want some people to hang out with. I would listen to stories (literally, stories, fiction…) that she would tell about her ex-boyfriend stabbing her, beating her up, and get so infuriated that someone would do that to her. How would you feel about all of that when you found out you had been duped?
And if a GUY friend of any race or social class had done the same thing, I'd be just as saddened and frustrated. While some people who have commented on this and other things pertaining to Kari are possibly, literally retarded, don't assume that everyone who is pissed off at Kari is some misogynist asshole trying to bring down a strong, brave feminist. I work at things that I want and I treat people the best that I can. So, you're totally right. I'm a complete loser.
On the next, As Animal Turns…
gooks are vietnamese not korean
why did animal have to turn into some cunt's shitty livejournal account?
NEWCASTLE FUCKING SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YOU FUCKING SUCK, ANIMAL NOW FUCKING SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
except Marina……..
Hey Kari, remember me. We were friends in Utah before you scammed our friend out of a grand. I hope you know how much of a dumb ass you are. Not because of stealing money, although that was stupid, but just because of the great people you chose to fuck over. The friends I’ve made because I spent months in your dog-piss smelling house (by the way folks, Kari’s two adorable dogs Botch and Elliott had to be put to sleep because of her stupidity) are some of the best people I’ve ever met. I just want you to know that we are still all friends and all you are is a funny story about a dumb girl with a stupid tattoo. So enjoy your brief stint with celebrity and I’m sure you’ll love getting shat on in porn for a few bucks but just know that to all of us you are nothing.
