Ilana Angel

Do you know who Ilana Angel[1] is? Most people don't but if you do, I'm so sorry.

To make a long story short, Ilana Angel is a mentally deranged cyber bully who is employed by JewishJournal.com[2]. She has delusions of grandeur where she believes that country singer, LeAnn Rimes[3], is obsessed with her and speaks negatively about her on a daily basis. In reality, LeAnn Rimes has blocked Ilana Angel on Twitter and has had her lawyers issue cease and desist orders because Ilana likes to make up wild stories (aka LIES) about her without ever providing a source or shred of evidence. Ilana Angel has also stalked LeAnn Rimes by breaking into her concerts and has had to be escorted out by police on more than one occasion.

Naturally, Ilana Angel will have critics but she has a very thin skin. When people criticize her ethics and lack of morals, she attacks them by posting their private information in her JewishJournal.com blogs in order to encourage her "troops" to harass them and get them fired from their jobs.

Many have contacted JewishJournal.com with their stories about how Ilana Angel has been abusive but JewishJournal.com responds by either saying nothing or blocking the individual.

JewishJournal.com features a number of respected writers who actually went to school to learn journalist integrity. Something Ilana Angel knows nothing about. She often tells her readers she is drunk while writing her blogs. She commonly has numerous spelling mistakes and her grammar is atrocious.

LeAnn Rimes

LeAnn Rimes is a Grammy Award winning country music singer. She's know for such hits as "Blue," "How Do I Live," "Can't Fight the Moonlight," and "I Need You." In 2001, LeAnn met dancer, Dean Sheremet[4] and the two were married the next year when she was 20 and he was 22 years old. LeAnn decided she wanted to get into acting and, in 2009, she starred in the Lifetime movie "Northern Lights" with actor, Eddie Cibrian.[5] At the time, Eddie was married to model, Brandi Glanville[6], and the couple shared two children, Mason and Jake. LeAnn and Eddie shared more than just an on-screen romance and it was soon in the tabloids that the couple were having an affair. This resulted in both couples divorcing their spouses and LeAnn and Eddie married each other in 2011. Dean Sheremet became a chef and married Sarah Silver[7] in 2011. Brandi Glanville became a reality TV star and best selling author.

Enter Ilana Angel

Ilana Angel is a divorced, middle aged blogger for JewishJournal.com. She writes two blogs: "Keeping the Faith" where she writes about random shit and "Keeping it Real" where she blogs about shitty reality TV shows. She was previously married to Michael Burg (aka "Asshole"), where she became the mother to Snickerdoodle (aka Charlie).[8] Michael cheated on Ilana with someone better and Ilana has been single ever since. She even writes blogs titled "Dating 101" where she pretends to be an expert at it but can never seem to land a boyfriend. She tells people she gets asked out often[9] but that's hard to believe. She tells her readers "Dating is driving me to drink."[10] As if she wasn't already a heavy drinker.

Ilana Angel does not approve of LeAnn Rimes. She doesn't like the way she looks, the fact that she is the stepmother to Brandi's kids, or the fact that she cheated on her husband with a married father. Ilana still hasn't gotten over Michale cheating on her and still bitches about him in her blogs.[11] She takes her bitterness from her own experiences and directs a lot of it at LeAnn. Even though she has been married to Eddie for some time now and all parties involved have moved on, Ilana will never move on. Ilana says of LeAnn: "She is famous now for being a stupid, spiteful, idiotic, whore."[12] She has written dozens of blogs about LeAnn, usually without any substance whatsoever. Any excuse to call LeAnn a "whore" again.

#Allegedly

Ilana Angel has convinced herself that LeAnn Rimes is obsessed with her. She will often tweet that LeAnn is talking about her but there is never any evidence of this. It's not on LeAnn's Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram account. Not even on her official website. When asked to show WHERE LeAnn is talking about her, Ilana either ignores or blocks. SHE JUST IS! OKAY?! Ilana claims to be writing a book about her "relationship" with LeAnn which she will title "Allegedly" which is in reference to her always having to write "allegedly" in her blogs about LeAnn because they're usually filled with lies and LeAnn's attorney has threatened to sue. Ilana will often use the hashtag #Allegedly because she thinks it's funny that she lies so much.

Ilana proves what a liar she is in her own articles

Ilana Angel is an incredibly stupid individual. It's not clear whether she knows she's lying or if she actually believes in what she is saying. But here is a clear case of her deliberately misleading her moronic readers.

Have you ever seen an article posted on your Facebook feed and made up your mind about it just based on the title only to find out that it was a complete misrepresentation of the actual article? That is exactly what Ilana did with her 2014 blog titled "LeAnn Rimes threatens Brandi Glanville." [13]

Naturally, any person who reads the words "LeAnn Rimes Threatens..." would assume that LeAnn Rimes threatened somebody. Why wouldn't you? And if you actually read the blog, you will continue to think that she did alllll the way until paragraph SEVEN when Ilana writes "While it wasn't Ms. Rimes who sent threats, she supported it by saying nothing." Excuse me? So it WASN'T LeAnn Rimes who threatened someone?

That's right. Ilana instead talks about this nameless Twitter individual who "suggested Ms. Glanville kill herself and the people who said it were then sent messages of love from Ms. Rimes." Okay...so where is the...ya know....THREAT??? Telling someone they should kill themselves is not a threat. A "threat" is saying "I'm going to kill you." And that was never said in any shape or form. But how do we even know this was said in the first place? Ilana provides ZERO quotes from the individual and she provides ZERO evidence that LeAnn Rimes ever "liked" their mean spirited post.

But she doesn't stop there. She finishes out her blog by saying "Brandi Glanville needs to not only watch her back, but seriously consider the safety of her children while they're in the care of a woman who supports threats against her." What Ilana is suggesting is that LeAnn Rimes is a dangerous individual who could potentially inflict physical harm to Brandi Glanville AND her CHILDERN! ....WHAT???? She has provided ZERO evidence of a threat, ZERO evidence LeAnn Rimes EVER condoned a threat, and jumped to the conclusion that Ms. Rimes is a homicidal maniac.

All of this was brought to the attention of JewishJournal.com and they refused to comment.

Chance Encounters and Salons

Ilana Angel is a very lucky woman. She has a lot of nasty things to say about people and she's always in the right place at the right time in order to acquire the dirt on people she hates.

Hookers

In 2013, Ilana wrote a blog titled "Manicures, Hookers and LeAnn Rimes."[14] This story starts out with Ilana needing an emergency manicure while in West Hollywood. She went to a salon and, lo and behold, she is recognized! By a hooker! Ilana writes "I laughed a little, turned to the woman next to me, and was immediately asked if I was Ilana Angel." What are the odds? She's in some random nail salon in West Hollywood and a hooker recognizes her. Because Ilana's face is so well known. Right? From that tiny little picture of her face she has slapped on her blogs that barely anybody reads. But wait! There's more! You see, this hooker also hates LeAnn Rimes! What a coincidence! Ilana hates LeAnn Rimes too! Ilana remembers "In a truly perfect moment she told me she gets pissed off when I call LeAnn Rimes a whore because Rimes gives whores a bad name." That really is a perfect moment! Not only did you come a across a hooker that reads your blog, it's also a hooker that shares your hatred for a country singer!

Lamar Odom

Ilana has a lot of moments like this in salons. In October, 2015 Ilana wrote the blog titled "My Brief Encounter with Lamar Odom."[15] This time, during her visit to the salon, Mr. Odom comes walking in. In a very touching moment, Ilana writes "I said hello, told him I thought he was a sweet guy, and a great basketball player. He was separated from his wife then and there was a lot of tabloid fodder. He said thank you and put his hand out. I shook his hand and told him he had a Jewish mother in his corner. He smiled then and said, “Everyone needs one of those.”" Awww! This sappy blog came at a good time because it was right after Mr. Odom was hospitalized. A great time to get clicks!

Coach "David"

This chance encounter wasn't at a salon. It was at a party. And Ilana LOVES to party! Usually by herself. In the blog titled "LeAnn Rimes – Team Mom?"[16], Ilana tells us about "David." David is very interesting person. Not only is he one of Ilana's favorite people, he also JUST HAPPENS to be the coach on Eddie Cibrian's son's baseball team. And guess what? He also just HAPPENS to have some dirt on LeAnn Rimes! What a score! David tells us that LeAnn is a brat who insists on hanging out with the kids in the dugout. When David tells Eddie she has to get out, Eddie throws a fit. blah blah blah. None of this sounds real. Ilana writes "The entire thing was ridiculous and David got a good laugh out of how dumb they were." There isn't one quote from David in this entire blog. And David isn't even his real name. So, we have to just assume Ilana didn't pull this entire story out of her ass.

The airport lady knows who I am!!!

This next story comes from her October 9, 2015 blog "Australia: Brave New World Part 3."[17] Ilana can't go ANYWHERE without being recognized! Not even Australia! At the airport, Ilana is freaking out due to her fear of flying. So she heads to a kiosk to buy some water for her Xanax. When she goes to pay for it, she hands the cashier her credit card. "...then she really took a look at me and gasped. “You’re Ilana from the Jewish Journal!”" Uh huh... "I bid my new friend goodbye, grabbed a quick cocktail" ... "I boarded, took a Xanax, and prayed I would sleep the entire flight home." I'm willing to bet Ilana hallucinated this woman from all the alcohol and Xanax in her system.

Looking forward to your next chance encounter, Ilana!

Ilana Angel vs Andy Cohen

Ilana Angel only has 3 loves in her life: booze, drugs, and reality TV. Probably her favorite is the Real Housewives of whateverwhogivesashit. She's too unattractive and pathetic to actually be on the shows so she does the next best thing - she blogs about them and stalks the Housewives and tries to become their best friends. She stalked Brandi Glanville until Brandi realized what a psycho she is and dumped her. Now she has her eyes set on Gamble Breaux.

Ilana isn't Ilana if she isn't being a horrible human being. When the shows are airing, she will often live Tweet her thoughts. And her thoughts are often vicious. Andy Cohen[18] had finally had enough when he Tweeted out "@ILANA_ANGEL have you ever enjoyed any season of any housewives ever? you have been tweeting nasty comments since I joined twitter!"[19]

This was probably the biggest blow Ilana has ever received. Even more so than when her husband dumped her for a more attractive woman. Ilana worships Andy Cohen so having this be his first Tweet to her was devastating. How did Ilana respond? Why, by writing a blog, of course![20]

"I have been watching for 19 weeks, and blogged the entire season, only to be questioned by Andy Cohen as to whether or not I even like the show because I never say anything nice."

"He is the most likeable and engaging Jew on television and I am proud of him. For him to question me however, is just silly."

"His comment was childish."

"I make a living writing about the shows he makes a living talking about, and he should embrace how that works."

"Lighten up and be nice to the funny Jewish writer."

Good, Ilana. Tell Andy Cohen more about what he should do.

Ilana tries and fails to be featured on Dateline NBC

Ilana Angel is really sad and pathetic. Apparently JewishJournal.com doesn't pay all that well because she's constantly begging for work elsewhere. But it seems she's not even qualified to write top ten lists for BuzzFeed.

In January 2015, Ilana made a pitch to Dateline NBC for them to feature a story...on her.[21] "Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Ilana Angel and I'm a writer for the Jewish Journal of Greater Los Angeles. I have two blogs with a large readership." So large that nobody has ever heard of her or her blogs.

"I am a loyal watcher of Dateline and not ashamed to say that you Mr. Mankiewicz, are a celebrity crush of mine." Yes. At the same time, Ilana was harassing Josh Mankiewicz on Twitter with a series of sexual advances. He never returned the interest.[22]

"There have been petitions to get me fired, letters to my editor, and threats of violence. All because of my writing about reality television." Sounds like people don't like her if they'd go through all that trouble. One petition to get her fired reached 110 signatures.[23] And letters to her editor? So? She speaks her mind. Are her readers not allowed to speak theirs? "Threats of violence"? Like when she accused LeAnn Rimes of threatening Brandi Glanville ...except...she didn't?

"Important to note that Twitter has policies in place to protect users from this kind of thing, but the death threats have gone unnoticed by Twitter, so here I am sharing with you." Okay wait...people are sending her death threats and...she goes to Dateline instead of ...ya know...the police?

"I write about the shows but have no delusions about relationships with these people, nor am I invested in the shows" Bull...shit! she just stalks them and try to become their best friends.

"I got a series of menacing tweets and threats from “Dean” and “Alexandria”. Both my employer and myself forward them to Twitter, but they're still active users, even with the death threats. The harassment is quite fascinating and I wouldn’t pay it much attention except for one thing: Dateline." Oh, wait, wait, wait! It's "fascinating" and she "wouldn't pay it much attention" so...that means...it's not really that serious. Right? If she wouldn't pay it much attention then how bad could it be? Oh! That's right! DATELINE!

"These people are crazy and I am not exaggerating when I tell you they could easily be on your program one day with everyone shaking their heads and feeling sad for the poor Jewish blogger who reached out for help as they publicly threatened her for months and nobody paid any attention to it." So, after telling them that these "threats" aren't really all that much of a concern to her, she tells Dateline that if somebody kills her, it will be Dateline's fault for not coming to her rescue. ...Smart.

"I have all the details, along with the tweets and threats as back up" So show them.

"You can follow my Twitter timeline as it will blow up after posting this blog." It didn't.

"“Rebecca” needs to get over her ex-husband and come to terms with his younger, more beautiful, TV star wife. She needs to think more about what will happen to her children when she is convicted of conspiracy to kill." Umm...WHAT??!

"It is ridiculous, possible, scary, and at the end of the day classic Dateline." God, she is shameless! This isn't about her feeling threatened at all. It's just so she can get on TV.

"There is a real dark side to reality television that goes beyond the people who choose to be on a show. For those of us who write about it, the fear is real." Jesus Christ...I just can't.

"I am employed as a writer and have back up, but what about the writers at home who work for themselves and have to deal wtih these types of attacks? This needs to be talked about." Maybe when she's writing an open letter to Dateline NBC she should use spell check.

"While I would date Josh, I have no interest in being one of his stories." He has no interest in dating her or featuring her as one of his stories.

"I’m watching my back and keeping it real." Again, she said herself that the "threats" were not a concern to her. She's just trying to get on TV

She closes by finally posting what we can only assume to be the alleged "death threats."

A bit vague, isn't it? Can we really call these "death threats." "You're next" isn't really a death threat. And neither is a screen shot from Kill Bill. These are clearly meant for intimidation but "death threats"? She'll have to do better. Dateline clearly isn't interested in covering stories that should be handled by Twitter Support.

Misogyny

Oddly enough, the people Ilana usually trashes are women. And she likes to use color language like "bitch" "whore" "slut" and "cunt." She will often go after a woman based on her appearance even though she's not exactly a beauty queen.
