Josh Duhamel, Famous Liar?

Josh Duhamel, Movie Actor
Josh Duhamel wed to songstress "Fergie" of The Black Eyed Peas, is currently filming the movie, "Life As We Know It" in Atlanta. Recently, a stripper, Nicole Forrester came forward, saying she had slept with Josh Duhamel after meeting him at the strip club in Atlanta where she works. Forrester says Josh first identified himself as "JD", and said he was in town to make a porn movie. She claimed they'd exchanged numbers, and she's gone to his hotel room, which ultimately led to sex, she says.This would be quite an embarrassment for Mr. Duhamel, who only wed Fergie earlier this year. Josh's rep is vehemently denying the story, saying, "This story is absolutely ridiculous." continued...
Considering Fergie admitted in May of this year that she is bisexual, she could have been upset that Josh did not share the stripper with her, however, Fergie has said, "These allegations (against Josh) are nonsense." She is trying to stay positive throughout all of this. A friend of hers said, "Fergie says nothing is wrong. Every time I ask her how married life is, she says, 'Awesome!' Josh told her it didn't happen, and she believes him."
To make matters for the movie star, Forrester took a lie detector test with polygraph expert Kenneth E. Blackstone, who claims she's telling the truth about having sex with Duahamel. Blackstone said, "In my 30 year career I have conducted between 15,000 and 20,000 polygraph examinations. The polygraph examination showed Nicole Forrester was being non-deceptive, telling the truth when she answered my questions. One of those questions was had she had sex with Josh Duhamel. And she answered yes."
Either Forrester should win an award for being the best liar ever, or Josh Duhmel will have to come clean and suffer the consequences.
Recent Lies
Jaycee Lee Dugard
Ms. Dugard was kidnapped at the age of 11 and held captive for 18 years. Jaycee disappeared in 1991 after being abducted at a school bus stop in South Lake Tahoe, California. Garrido and his wife, Nancy, have been accused of kidnapping, raping, and holding Jaycee captive. They have pleaded not guilty to the charges.
When Jaycee Lee Dugard was finally found and questioned about her identity after she had been missing for 18 years, a government report says she lied about who she was and defended her alleged captor, Phillip Garrido.
It was only after Garrido confessed he had abducted Jaycee, did she identify "...herself as Jaycee Dugard and confirmed that she had been kidnapped and raped by Garrido." After several more interviews, she finally admitted that Garrido was the father of her two daughters. continued...
Phillip Garrido
(Continued from above) Jaycee suffered from "The Stockholm Syndrome" a sad bond that develops between a hostage and his or her abductor. It is amplified in captivity situations based on the dependency of the victim on the kidnapper, coupled with the captive's instinct for survival.
The victim becomes obedient and passive in order to allay the abductor's anger, which tends to lead the hostage taker to reciprocate in more humane treatment of the hostage.
Furthermore, the victim begins to view police in a negative light the longer the captivity goes on. In essence, the captive starts to believe authorities are not doing all they can to secure his or her release. This cycle eventually perpetuates the Stockholm syndrome, which gets stronger as time passes.
Sports Teams Lies
One reader wonders why the Rangers weren't called out for hiring Clint Hurdle two days after denying that an offer had been made:
"Can you tell us why Rangers management can tell us a lie and not get called out on it by the media? All of what was said earlier this week by them about the decision not being made to hire Hurdle was lies."
This is a situation similar to an experience with the Florida Marlins, I heard that former Cy Young winner Mark Davis was with the team. I happened to then spy him throwing in the bullpen. Later that day, I cornered GM Dave Dombrowski and questioned him: "So, you guys have signed Mark Davis, huh?" Dombrowski replied "nope."
The next day, the Marlins announced the signing of Davis. I went to Dombrowski, incensed. I thought he had lied to me and said so without actually using the "l" word. He replied he had not lied. Davis worked out the day I saw him. He signed the next day. Moral of the story: There are many hoops GMs and other baseball officials can and need to jump through on occasion to avoid outright lying. continued...
The TRUTH
In the case of Hurdle, the Rangers didn't officially extend an offer, according to our sources, until Wednesday. Out of courtesy to the other candidates, they did not want the information to leak at all, but at least not until after they were able to inform the other candidates that they'd made a decision and were going in a different direction. Fair enough. If you were applying for a job, you'd want to know from your prospective bosses that they were going in a different direction, rather than hear it from another source. That's not to say they had lied, only withheld information officially until after all the candidates had been informed.
So, no, the Rangers didn't lie on this matter. They may not have been as open about things as fans would like, but there was no outright lie.
