Good fences make good neighbors, but Dr. Phil’s guests say no matter how high the fence, they can’t seem to end their vicious feud. Linda says Tamara is a menace to society and should be kicked out of their community. She says Tamara sent her harassing e-mails and threatened to kill her. Tamara says she’s the victim in this neighborhood war and is on the verge of losing her home because of Linda’s false accusations. She says Linda and her daughter, Holly, stalked her, tormented her family and spray painted the words “lying bitch” on her home. Then, Holly and Tamara's daughter, Jessica, join the fray. Jessica claims that she and her husband, Scott, are the victims of discrimination because he’s black, and she says they were harassed so much that they had to leave the community. Holly says that Jessica is the troublemaker and says she threatened to beat Linda over the head with a baseball bat. With all the finger-pointing, who’s telling the truth? Can Tamara and Linda bury the hatchet and move on before someone is forced to move out? Tell us what you think!

Find out what happened on the show.

Disgusting.

I remember being in a fight like this when I was 14... Even then I knew I was a little old to be behaving like that.

I doubt anything changes with those families. What a waste.

Very disturbed about the show

My name is Stephanie and I was extremely bothered by the result of the show "More Nasy Neighbors" . I have personally had conflict with Tamara and I am 100% positive that she is a pathological liar.

 

I was selling my mobile home to her back in 2003-2004 and had nothing but trouble with her from the start.

There were some things that needed to be done with the home so I was only asking $2500. The utilities had been shut off for a little while and my fiance and I told her that if she would like to go ahead and get them turned back on in her name then she could let us know and my fiance (working in the mobile home service and repair field) said that he could do the work on the home that needed to be done. The work could not be done until the power was turned back on because it would thaw the pipes and burst them.

We tried to reach her to find out if she got the power turned back on yet because we had not heard anything from her and she proceeded to say that she tried multiple times to try to reach us (not true because my cell phone was always on) and that she got the power turned back on and turned the water supply back on as well which, of course, resulted in the pipes bursting and the bathroom flooding.

She stated that we had to pay for the damages caused which consisted of the toilet (due to cracking) the floor (because of it getting warped due to flooding) and the tub. So she was saying that she would only pay us $700 of the price that we asked for because of everything that went wrong.

When we refused to accept that amount because it was a problem that she caused, she proceeded to hang up on me and my fiance and told my Aunt and Uncle that we called her the c-word (why would we do that when handling a business transaction? We are not those type of people) which then caused an upset between us for a while.

 

I was a 21 year old trying to sell my mobile home and all she did was make it the worst experience ever. We offered to help with the work (for free) and sell it to her for ONLY $2500, I paid $10,000 for it. I just wanted to get rid of it and all she could do is try to milk as much off the price as possible.

Of course I refused to accept only that amount and by the end of it I did not recieve the full amount that I was asking for and my Uncle had to make up the difference just to solve the situation.

 

She is a compulsive liar that likes to bring drama to the people that surround her. She used to be friends with my Aunt and Uncle until she decided to steal from them. She is money hungry and just likes the attention (I think). Not to mention, I do know for a fact that she has hacked into my relatives computers and done things.

 

To Linda, I completely understand the problems that you have had with her and I feel too that you might have been a part of the nonsense in the beginning until you realized what a crazy person she could be. I am sorry that you were treated unfairly in this situation.

 

To anyone else that ever comes in contact with her, keep your wits about you. She's a problem child.

that makes a ton of sense..

Quote From: sydney1973

These women sound  envious of you or your home.   I have a woman neighbor almost as bad. She called child care services when my mom couldn't watch my  two sons one summer and  who were going into 6th and 8th grades.  If she  actually cared, she would have wanted to come over and check on them.    Too bad you can't move.   I saw my neigbor out front pointing at my house to some lady and I know it's because she is really jealous of us because my neigbor has rotten teeth and is not very attractive and she is very controlling.  The other neighbors do not like her either.   Your neighbors need  husbands who will pay attention to them.  That is why they are behaving like this- they need attention.  I hope their kids will be hell on them when they become teenagers. 
That makes a ton of sense.  The main woman HL and her husband struck it rich when they made up a website.  Neither of them work.  HL's husband is always golfing and when he is home he watches TV.  Whenever either HL and KA go to the pool their husbands do not come and my husband comes with me to play with our kids.  I rarely have ever seen these men play with their kids at all.  The wives are always with the kids.  I know they love attention and bad mouth anyone who they think has a life that does not revolve alcohol and partying.  I went to college and got that out of my system.  These women did not and HL even lied about going to college and being on the cheerleading squad.  Unfortunately she did not count that my husband who is the same age as she is would have also been on squad at the same time.  (I know it is ironic but we also have another male cheerleader who cheered with my husband who moved in across the street.) My husband tried to warn  me that she was a liar and that I should stay away from her.  I think these women have very low self-esteem and that they prey on anyone that has it better than them.  Idiots!

09/03 More Nasty Neighbors

Quote From: knickfan1

I live in a one bedroom apartment. A couple of years ago the guy above me moved in his girlfriend, his father and his niece from Africa. Since that time his girlfriend had a baby who is now a toddler, and she is again pregnant. The kids can be heard running around in the middle of the night. There's constant screaming and crying. And they have no apparent bedtime. If you dare to knock they cuss you out and intentionally stomp around harder. Sunday 3:30am I had to call the precinct. The noise they make is both loud and constant. You can more than hear it. You can feel it. It shakes the light fixtures, one of which fell and broke. There have also been occasions of flooding which left major water damage in my apartment. My ceiling fell TWICE. I withheld rent until management made the repairs. It took almost a year. It sounds like they're bowling. This goes on all day and night. I've called the precinct but they say all they can do is ask them to keep it down (last time it was 2am) and that management would have to resolve the problem. They have not. It's so much stress and impossible to sleep so I rarely stay there. Tomorrow I will send management a certified letter letting them know that I am now looking for a new place to live and since they can't help with the situation I will be forced to break my lease and move from a place I've lived 23 years. Because if I can't sleep I can't work. If I stay there I will go crazy. I can't really afford the expense of moving right now, but I see no choice. And my jaw hurts from grinding my teeth trying to sleep this craziness. Bottom line, it's not worth it. So the thought that these women from today's show are creating this drama is incredible.

I know how you feel.  I bought a new condo this spring, and I was so happy, it was perfect!  Just 5 mos after I moved in, I got new neighbors upstairs -- a divorced woman  and her 2  young kids.  Ever since the day they started to move in, I've had no peace in my own home.  I can't blame them entirely, most of the problem is crummy soundproofing, but I can hear EVERYTHING up there, from heavy footsteps to loud voices, running around, doors slamming, TV, up and down the stairs, fighting, laundry, kitchen noises, etc....  I realize when you share walls you're going to hear stuff but their noise is constant and I'm so tired of it.  There was a family of 3 up there before them, and I had no problems with them, hardly even knew they were home, so I'm stunned at how much I hear.

 

Anyway, I finally got up the nerve to say something to the woman but she didn't get it.  She was irritated with me, didn't look at me, and she wasn't really listening.  Nothing's changed, it's just as bad as before.  So I just feel sick about this -- I put everything I had into my new home,so I can't afford to sell right away.  And who will buy it with all the noise from above, and in this market?  The worst part is feeling so helpless b/c I'm at their mercy.  Talking to her again will do no good as I think she just doesn't care about being a good neighbor.  It's all I can do not to pound on the ceiling and walls or scream at them, but I don't want to be that kind of neighbor.  I have resorted to wearing earplugs in my home when it gets really bad.  How ridiculous is that?  All I can hope for is that she decides the place is too small for the 3 of them, and she sells soon!  Just my luck, no kids in the whole complex -- the only 2 live above me with their loud, inconsiderate mother!

 

I pray every day that they move out!  And I've talked to the Pres of our homeowners association, but there's really nothing they can do to help me.  Honestly,  I can see how stuff like this can push reasonable people over the edge -- I think I'm pretty tolerant, but after 2 months of living with all of their noise, I feel like I'm going to have a break down.  People just don't understand unless they have to live under these conditions.

 

Anyway, good luck in your situation.  I feel your pain!

MORE NASTY NEIGHBORS

My car is in the auto body shop being painted after shaving cream was sprayed all over it and had been keyed by my NASTY NEIGHBORS. It was all from me reporting to the police that a truck ran up on our lawn and pushed our trash barrels out of the way so that this person could park in front of our house. When the police caught up with him the police had to bring him to the police station because he had drugs in his truck. Come to find out it was a relative of the NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR. We were already having trouble with them using all the parking spaces in front of our house for junk vehicles their son was fixing all hours of the night plus the family owns 7 vehicles. My vehicle had some type of damage done to it every weekend for 8 weeks. I can't believe any of this! NEIGHBORS can be so cruel..sad but true! Now I still worry that they might do it again after I have it fixed. Worrying about every day problems is bad enough without having to deal with NEIGHBORS hastling us. Except for these NEIGHBORS our neighboehood is clean and quiet. ItLs like we are living next to an auto mechanic's shop with cars and parts everywhere. You never know what it is like to live near Bad NEIGHBORS until you buy your HOME! We have now realized we have to take the GOOD Neighborhood with ONE BAD NEIGHBOR!

Linda & her daughter are lying!

I just watch this show. I have to say that Linda and her daughter are the liars. They couldnt even admit to sending emails! And calling the cops 150+ times! COME ON!! It seems like they are the ones with nothing more to do than cause trouble. As Lindas daughter kept saying "My kids, My kids" I laughed. If she truly wants this to be over with then stop taking pictures, stop stalking them at home and school, and stop being childish! As Dr. Phil talked to Linda, guilt was written all over her face! She acted defensive, not innocent! Tamara may be a "Nasty Neighbor" but these ladies are enjoying fueling the fire!

If you watched the show, did you pay attention?? The 150 calls to the police were mostly from Tamara and her daughter. And guilt on Linda's face?? More like astonishment that anyone with a working brain would believe anyone would send such incriminating e-mails. From forged documents to fictitious e-mails,and lies about pictures and race discrimination, this show was the most ridiculous and contrived waste of airspace ever. The truth would have been a much more interesting story, if anyone had cared to find it. Are the viewers really that naive?
A friend once told me "Those who matter know the truth, Those who don't know don't matter". I can't think of a more fitting statement for this situation than that..
