I read this woman’s article in the NY POST. She is hate-filled and hateful. If you look at her photographs, she is smirking and smug in almost everyone of the ones that are calculated to “SHOW THEM!”

I am not a Satmar, I am not chassidish in hashkafa or even yeshivish in the sense that most people understand the expression. But To show such disrespect by publicly airing your own personal hashkafic dirty laundry, is unacceptable. She is doing it to make a buck now, not because she wants to enlighten anyone about her former “plight.” And do Satmar chassidim really believe that a 19 year old girl is on the late side of marriageable?

The retzicha with which she talks about b’davka eating crabcakes, shows a very skewed person. I know people who have gone oTD, but they are still respectful of MY frumkeit. I ahve a feeling she would be this kind of personality no matter WHAT her background would have been. There are plenty of people who stop living their chassidic lifestyle, but remain shomrei Torah uM’itzvos nonetheless. She is just a bitter woman who wants to “stick it” to all Jews.
