Is revenge worth $250,000?

According to this woman it is:

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned -- and then there's this lady.
A fuming mistress catapulted retribution into a new orbit by plastering the country with billboards that show her nuzzling a married New York business honcho and adviser to President Obama, sources said.

The spurned squeeze, YaVaughnie Wilkins, went nuclear after she learned that Charles E. Phillips -- president of tech conglomerate Oracle and a member of Obama's Economic Recovery Advisory Board -- reconciled with his wife despite his lengthy affair with Wilkins.

Three signs have popped up in the city, as well as one in Atlanta and one in San Francisco -- where Wilkins lives, Phillips owns a home and Oracle's world headquarters are located.

The very public humiliation campaign may have cost Wilkins upward of $250,000, at an estimated $50,000 a pop.

Not only did she put up billboards in three cities, she also set up a website documenting their 8 1/2 year relationship. Apparently her friends and family are claiming that she didn't know he was still married, although she has remained mum. In the meantime, NYC took the signs down yesterday.

Now, damn, I've dated some jerks in my time, but I don't think I'd spend $250 on a revenge scheme, much less $250,000 (even if I had it, ha!).

He probably should've consulted the oracle before gettin with that fruitbat alright...

A rabbit and a pot of hot water would have been cheaper

$250,000 is nothing to a rich b*tch like that.

She had an affair with a married man - live by the sword and all that.

Also, If they'll cheat with ya, they'll cheat on ya.

I make that five signs.

America has gotten a lot smaller since last time I was there. :rolleyes:

Well if you have a definitive goal that you want to achieve I'd say she got great value for money considering it's made it's way to this forum and she's made an international ass out of her target.

What a total waste of money.

There's not a cheated woman who hasn't thought about, come on!

Could have had him killed for less than that. Not a very efficient revenge scheme.

I think most people will think she is imbalanced individual and that that guy cut his losses not a minute too soon. Who cares about the marriage of some bloody oracle exec ? Seriously ? It's like she is trying to soap-operatise her boring un-interesting life & relationship probs. Total utter waste of money imo. Considering it's america she will probably write a book and do the oprah circuit & get some of it back but jesus get a life woman.

It seems like an even bigger waste if you go to the website. It looks like it was designed in 1995.

I think the idea is brilliant. Charles Phillips was clearly taking her for a mug. She'd no idea he was still married and that he was planning on reconciliation with his estranged wife. It's a total cliche. Good on YaVaughnie for showing what a worm that guy really was.

I don't think she needs Oprah or a book deal out of this. If she can splash $250K on this type of stuff, she's already loaded.

TBH, if it were me, I'd spend that same amount of money on something else but then again, I'd never dated a dick of such colossal proportions.

She'd be better off wreaking vengeance on the parents that handed her that name. It likely would have cost quite a bit less to legally change it, too.

Yah right! 8.5 years and she didn't know he was still married?
She never heard of google, no?!?

She got dumped; suck it up.
