Chrisann Brennan - mother of Steve Jobs' child - is releasing her memoirs on October 29.

[closeupready]

LATE Apple founder and former CEO Steve Jobs has always been known as a tyrant.

Nobody knew this better than his long time girlfriend, Chrisann Brennan, who has broken her silence on her life with the entrepreneur in a tell-all novel, revealing how he tried to control everything in her life from her appearance to her spiritual education.

They had a child together - Lisa - but Jobs denied paternity for years, despite having taken a paternity test in 1979 proving he was her father.

He even told Time magazine in 1983 that "28 per cent of the male population in the United States could be the father."

2. The more I learn about Jobs,

the more I realize he is a totally appalling human being. I've have long been perplexed that so many people admire him.

11. I think we can admire what he accomplished while likewise feeling disdain for Jobs, the man... n/t

3. If he had been black think of all the "moocher" "irresponsible" "low morals" tags that would have

been on him..despite his billions.

5. He DENIED paternity of that child; didn't support her, tried to bullshit the judge, was a total

cretin. UGH. Nasty pig. Claimed he was sterile -- lied in court!!

Revenge IS a dish best served cold. I hope it's a best seller.

10. What a complete shit.

One e-book edition of Walter Isaacson’s authorized biography of Jobs quotes him saying that he didn’t attend his daughter’s 2000 Harvard graduation because Lisa “didn’t even invite me.” In fact, according to Brennan and two other sources, his daughter did invite him and he did attend. (According to a newspaper account at the time, Jobs used his daughter’s graduation to get excused from jury duty.)

13. Interesting

"Brennan says later Jobs apologized for the way he’d treated her and Lisa. After developing a closer relationship with his daughter—who legally changed her name to Lisa Brennan-Jobs at age nine—he increased his support “in small increments,” eventually to $4,000 a month, says Brennan. “He was cheap as he could be. He under-provided for everything. It was always like pulling teeth to get him to step up.”

Over the years after their daughter’s birth, Jobs bought Brennan two cars and a $400,000 house, paid Lisa’s private school tuition, and at times offered other financial help. Despite this, Brennan filed for bankruptcy in 1996."

Are you (&(@+@*(& kidding me?

Imagine if someone bought you a house - a $400,000 house at that - and then you have the gall to complain and try to blackmail more money?

Fuck, that pisses me off. How many people go thru life without these advantages? And then to piss it all away?

Listen, I have no love for Mr. Jobs, and he was definitly an ass in all this, but reading this makes my blood boil...

No mortgage, no car payments and you STILL cannot get ahead???

No sympathy...

15. He was a billionaire, living in a palimony state. If she had sued him she could have gotten

much more. I don't know why what she did should make your blood boil.

This is a guy who didn't even bother attending his oldest daughter's graduation. He's not worth getting upset about.

[dumbcat]

16. If someone bought me a $400,000 house

I'd have to sell it. I couldn't afford the approx. $12,000 annual property tax and insurance bills. Someone would have to help subsidize that.

14. Is it a "memoir" or a "novel"? They are NOT supposed to be the same thing. n/t
