Soledad O'Brien Hates Dogs
And by the looks of that dog's face, he hates her ass too. Or maybe he's just pushing out a shit bubble? Probably the latter. This pooch's butt wind, among other things, is why CNN's Soledad O'Brien is trying to get him evicted! Soledad, the secretary of her NYC co-op board, sent a 20-page affidavit to Ugo the dog's owners stating he's nasty as shit so he must get the fuck out. Yes, I'm sure that sentence was somewhere in those 20-pages.
Soledad and the other board members claim Ugo is too big and he slobbers, sheds, drools and farts everywhere. Steven Lyons, Ugo's owner, told the NY Post, "She told me at a shareholder's meeting that my dog stinks. Her behavior has been particularly outrageous." Steven also said that he tried to work with the board. He takes Ugo to get groomed three times a month and offered to use the freight elevator when walking him so that his neighbors don't have to see him that often. None of that shit impressed the board, because Soledad signed a notice canceling the family's lease. So either the family will be homeless or Ugo will.
Poor, farty Ugo. Doesn't he look sad? He knows that soon he might not have neighbors to crop dust on and that depresses him. I want to know how bad are Ugo's farts? Are his farts so fucking awful that they are seeping through the walls and singeing nose hairs? Or is Soledad hanging out in the hallways and elevators all the time? I'm sure this dumb bitch hardly comes in contact with Ugo and his toxic butt. How would that ho like it if someone sent her a 20-page affidavit saying that her queefs are making eyeballs sweat. That damn witch wouldn't appreciate it. I hope one of Ugo's deadly farts creeps into Soledad's closet and melts on one of her shoes.
That said, I've witnessed a Mastiff going doody time before. It was an experience my tongue will never forget, because I could seriously taste it. It tasted like overboiled corn and fried chipped beef.
Thanks Liz

The guy is willing to make alternatives as going in the freight elevator and taking the dog to the groomer 3x a month which has to be costly. Fucking people get me sick. How can they possibly smell his farts and how bad can they be? Bulldogs farts are the worst and its it a NYC Coop Im sure they were built with soundproof walls, so they cant hear the farts, this is such fucking nonsense...it's so ridiculous, that is why I hate people (the majority of em) and prefer to live my life with animals.
Having worked for many years with news anchors (from entertainment to 'newsy' desk reporters) I can tell you 11 out of 10 of them are some of the most awful, mean spirited, bitter, nasty people you will ever encounter in your life. Fake, artificial, over the top and usually in dire need of attention with mounting insecurities. Trust me, this is YEARS of experience talking. So with that said, this story does not surprise me in the least. Most news anchors think (and act) as though they own their entire living (usually gated) communities and demand you jump when they bark (all pun intended with this story). I think it relates back to years of competing in such a cut throat industry that makes them such egomaniacs.
In the case of Solasad, I've ALWAYS found her to be a cold, frigid ice queen on camera devoid of any charm with a snob"esque" delivery. CNN's hiring practices with 'journalists' have been soooo questionable lately. Homophobe Roland Martin, the man who got arrested for illegal substances and now this sorry excuse for a human.
Omg, MK... that's nasty, even for YOU!
Damn, I love you, man...

This sort of shit happens all the time in these expensive ass co-op buildings.
Very true. The dog owner is making it about Soledad because she can be professionally embarrassed, but it sounds like a decision made by the board, after getting complaints over a period of time. It doesn't necessarily mean they don't like dogs or are jerks; it just means the dog violates the rules.

I'm not a fucking "family slave". I don't even live in the same state as Soledad and her family (i.e. her kids, and husband), so she is not the shotcaller. Not even close. I guess I should change my articles (work "with" as opposed to "for").
Either way, since Soledad isn't exactly a celebrity (I like to keep my news personalities separate from the celebutards), I'm not even sure how newsworthy this is. This sort of shit happens all the time in these expensive ass co-op buildings. Get over it, move on. There's more than one side to the story. Obviously she's not the only one in that building who has beef with this dog, so that says a lot. The owner could take the dog to the groomer every day, but it doesn't mean that it's being taken care of properly.
So is Soledad paying this man rent? If she is not then she should shut the fuck up. She thinks the sun rises just because she gets out of bed every day. What a bitch.
Soledad is a really nice woman, please don't do this..
We don't know if the dog is really nasty, leave it alone. Maybe the dogs owner is a pig!
I know someone who used to work with Soledad and loves her. Says she's "sooooo sweet". But this person is a shithead social-climbing phony, so I take that with a bag of salt.
Since you know her...tell her fuck you from all of us...thanks

I know Ms. O'Brien, I work for a family member of hers, and she is NOT terrible. I know this is Dlisted, and I love this damned website, but this is the first time anything has been written about someone I actually know, so I feel compelled to defend her.
Some people just can't deal with dogs. It happens. It doesn't mean she's rotten or a "cunt", as so many people have called her.
Yes, yes, Dlisted, snarky, I know. Its weird reading about someone you actually know, and reading comments about their character when you know otherwise. EGADS.
Soullessdead O'Brien lives up to her initials: S.O.B. Go figure. And no guesses for what she wrote in the 20-page complaint: "I'm a bitch but I hate dogs" over and over again. Pathetic excuse for a human being.
How much time does she spend with her twin spawn? I am sure NONE...they are probably brats...complain about them!

What a bitch. We should all start writing CNN to tell them to fire the bitch because her farts stink. See how she likes it.
we were visiting our friends who have a great dane and it dumped an enormous load on the lawn. coupla minutes later our 7 year old daughters were examining and discussing how much the poop resembled pangea. "that's north america, that's south america, that's europe and asia..."
To the owner: get a lawyer ,call PETA, and do not move...eviction takes FOREVER! She can move..bitch.

I was just talking about what a cunt she is... everyone hated her at NBC..thats why she's at low budge CNN..her ass was canned for her shit attitude. She is a notorious trouble maker... I hate people like her..she isnt even ever home. Its not in her apt! What. does she hang in the hall? FUCK HER. The owner should sue..he has permission to have the dog already..so there! I would lay a huge shit on her doorstep on my way out if they got me out... and then blow a fart bag thru the vents.

Okay, I am on Ugo's side here. I just wanted to state that right off. But just because someone's not crazy about dogs doesn't make them a bad person. Dog owners tend to get kind of rabid about that issue. My mom's smart and talented and caring, and she's never liked animals at all - although she does take pity on strays that wander into her yard. I myself get grossed out at the thought of a dog jumping up and licking my face and mouth. That dog was probably licking it's own asshole five minutes earlier! And now it wants to kiss me?! No thanks.
Again, I am on Ugo's side, but I wonder if it wasn't the owners being obnoxious in some way that caused this. For example, in my condo complex, we all have yards and I cannot walk to my front door on a daily basis without holding my breath due to the nauseating stench of rancid dog feces in at least three or four yards on the way to my house. That definitely makes me resent the dogs' presence there, even though it's not their faults, but their owners'.

I don't trust people who don't like animals. I used to like her but she's a cunt in my book. Boy that books is filling up fast too.
That said, I hope Ugo's owners put a flaming bag of dog crap in a bag, light it on fire and put it at her doorstep.

Like her shit doesn't stink worse. And at least the pooch's hair is his natural color.
Why doesn't she move into Paula Zahn's building and they can complain about how much Zahn's husband stinks. Remember Pale Male!
She's mad because the dog knows what an ASSHOLE she is.
what a horrible bitch.
The dog wouldn't even be in contact with anyone enough to be that much of a problem. And the owner even offered to use the freight elevator.
We should all write to CNN and complain.

but its an apartment building....that many people close together WILL lead to petty annoyances. Everyone does something that irks someone else. If you are sooooo sentitive then apartment living probably isn't for you--buy a fucking house somewhere. Its not like this chick couldn't afford it. Although I agree, you shouldn't impose your dog on others, if they are just going in andout of the building, that's not imposing. What's next, you don't like the way your neighbor smells, so they're out too?

For the record, I do not dress my dog and would rather have him in my apartment being a dog and not take him to a doggie sitter, as most dogs he howls when he hears people in the common area, my neighbors don't want to hear my dog even though I have taped him and his barking is for about a minute a day (if at all --sometimes he sleeps all day). I am forced to take him to a sitter. Not everyone that has a dog thinks they are human, in fact most people do not, so do not stereotype dogs owners. With that said, I am out to take my dog to the park so he can run free and smell some dog butts.

ok, i was not a dog person before i got my own.
but i would never complain about some one else's dog unless they were totally uncontrolled, jumping and sniffing and barking all the time.
i'm sure the only time this dog is even in the building (not the apt) is to walk from the apt to go outside. how much havoc or stench can he really wreak. even if he is right there when you are you could certainly walk on the other side of the hall, or wait for another elevator. the fact that the man has gone out of his way just to make other people happy, when they have no legitimate complaints, should be more than enough. i can't believe that this bitch is so self centered that she thinks the entire building should be run around her prefrences. he paid to live there too bitch. and the dog comes with.
'fuck you guys. i'm goin' home.'
Stupid bitch. What, her shit doesn't stink? Another dog in a shelter because of a stupid ass bitch. I guess Ugo isn't cute enough to be someone's fashion accessory so it's off to the meat grinder. I would like to see this stupid hooker have to take a shit in front of everyone and see what the comments amount to.
Henry Miller wrote don't trust anyone who isn't absolutely gaga over dogs. From my experience this is true. There is something psychologically wrong with people that don't like dogs.
That's right, Clarisse... That big adorable mastiff likely has no desire whatsoever to go run around. I have an English Mastiff, a 3,000 sq ft home in the 'burbs and a nice sized backyard. Needless to say, my big 'ol dog would much rather be in the house. She barks and cries if we leave her out in the yard any longer than it takes her to do her business. Soledad's just being a snatch.
As far as your comment about marriage, my point was only that the human attributes that people assign to dogs are absolutely laughable -- getting married, getting "their feelings hurt," wearing sweaters the cost of which could feed a small child in a poor country for a year, needing babysitters....the list goes on. Dogs are NOT people. Even if you are rich and live in a nice condo in NYC.
For the record, my belief is that any person on this planet deserves to have the right to be married. Dogs...not so much.
Nice try, though!

Like Samantha on Sex and the City, I also don't think I should have to put up with brats in restaurants they don't belong in, flinging spaghetti on the floor while dipshit mom praises the beast. Babies don't belong in fancy restaurants, and large canines don't belong in luxury apartment buildings in Manhattan. I'm just saying! Flame away.
I am with you on this, I am sick of mishbehaving screaming kids ruining my experience.
lexylex66,
"if a person came up to you and slobbered all over you, smelled your crotch, and walked away"
Bullshit. This guy takes the freight elevator so his dog doesn't "offend" anyone.
"What sort of compassionate person keeps a huge dog like that locked up in an apartment?"
Bullshit. It's a 4000 sq ft place. I doubt it's cramping the dogs style. Mastiffs would rather nap on the couch than run the block anyway.
"The last thing you want to do when you get home from work is deal with other people's annoying dogs"
Bullshit. The last thing I want to deal with are peoples spoiled obnoxious children.
"They're not people. They can't "get married""
Wow.

Like I said before, then move to a building where the coop does not accept dogs if you dislike dogs. There is nothing worse that those self-important asswipes who move in to a building that allows dogs and then when one moves in freak out because it barks when people are n the hallway or are scared of them. Most buildings here are no dogs/pets allowed, leave the few that are to animal lovers instead of trying to change them just cause your ass moved in.

I am sure you should be able to smoke in your apartment if you want to it's just when you are dealing with these vacuous, self important personalities the boards feel like they have to cater to their every whim no matter how outrageous the demands get, I understand someone complaining about anything if it is done in excess but most of the time these people that complain are unemployed with too much time and money on their hands and make it their life's mission to destroy their neighbors,

YOu hit the nail right in the head.
Of all the complaints I have heard from others here -- they usually come from people stuck in their apartment all day with nothing better to do than complain.
As for this man, I wish him luck, I will never get rid of my family member (sparky)and I hope he fights them, but the truth of the matter is that living where you are disliked is hard and his best bet is to go and move out (at least for me the chicken shit -- and am a lawyer go figure).

So -- if a person came up to you and slobbered all over you, smelled your crotch, and walked away....they would be put in jail. Why is it any different, just because it is some self-absorbed New Yorker's dog? What sort of compassionate person keeps a huge dog like that locked up in an apartment? I am 100% pro-Soledad. The last thing you want to do when you get home from work is deal with other people's annoying dogs, especially when you live in a nice apartment building. Why do New York people assume that dogs have the same rights as people? They're not people. They can't "get married" (true fact - I have a friend who told me her dog got married). I could list the number of human attributes that dog people have tried to tell me their dogs possess but I don't have the time and it will make me nauseous. Dogs deserve to be treated with respect but that's where the line is drawn. They're not babies. GO SOLEDAD!

The good ole not smoking in your apartment even though it is not prohibited by the rules. I do not smoke and living on the top floor I can tell you someone does, somewhere below I think. Anyway, the board is going crazy sending notes about smoking being a nuisance. Hell, I hate it but I got me some nice candles and I can't ever smell it except for sometimes late at night and barely. As a background, last I heard only one co-op building in NY prohibits smoking and that is cause it has not been challenged -- thus this is a new trend with anti-smoking becoming the norm. It has been tried in other places but it was challenged and the rule withdrawn. You can prohibit smoking in common areas but not in your apartment. Of course an argument can be made that if it permeates the common area it is a nuisance and not that long ago this nuisance argument was tried but I believe was unsucessful in court.
Too many co-ops here in New York and too many people that are power hungry and assholes on these boards. My neihbor had to sue the board for not fixing a leak and I have personally seen them sending notes about her being a nuisance (no dogs no smoke-- loudness complaints) and I live next to her and she is not loud. Speaking with the president of the board one time he said of my neihbor, that her suit lowered the apartment values for all the building and she should leave. Talk about retaliation. They have left her alone after they fixed her roof and repainted her apartment and she dropped the suit, but those boards..... lucky for the system a housing judge has to approve removals and forcing you to sell, but living in a place where the board (who sometimes does not need majority approval to send these letters, etc) is against you after you spend a list half a mil ( a price of a measly studio in Manhattan and am not talking about the monthly maintenance fees on top of that of 1k), is aweful. Lucky for us NYorkers the co-ops are on their way out and most new buildings are not co-ops..... ____________________________________________

I completely agree. I'm a southerner myself, but the only times I have been to NY was in the northwestern farmland... I've never experienced NYC. Hell, around here, 3 million will buy you a good sized plantation, mansion included.... or a huge beach house. Kind of on topic.... My boston terrier is the grossest creature ever.
