What's the story with this a known drug mule been paraded around on national tv and radio recently to promote her new book and profit from it all?

Because she’s a pure ride and the nation needs something to be outraged about.

I'd say it would be like throwing a pound of sausages up Granby Lane.

Willing to try anyway.

Dumbass ends up in Peru on a free trip and is surprised that she has to smuggle a geansai load of coke and even more surprised at getting caught. Goes to prison and is surprised that it is not nice.

There, saved ye all an easons voucher.

Thats no way to speak about a young woman who has had two kids since being released fron prison in Peru where she had been in prison on trumped up charges. As she says herelf she is a good person

Have to say I completely agree and believe every word she says.

She is only releasing her book before Christmas and abandoning her kids to tour every media outlet in Britain and Ireland because she needs the money to buy a new belt as she just can't keep her pants up.

She's lucky she got out early. F*ck her, f*ck drug dealers, f*ck drug mules, f*ck em all.

Piers Morgan went to town on her. F*ck him too, but he's right this one time

I remember year's ago someone Said this is what will happen, she'll turn into a ride, get lot's of exposure and get to write a book and make money...

She's probably been through counseling and treatment centers, her addiction councilors or recovery sponsor will have her well hardened up and she'll be living a philosophy of **** happened and leave the past behind, get on with it.
A lot of People won't like you Machela, but you'll have to accept it and make the most of your life now.
You're free, you ****ed up but you're free to do what you like.

Therapy and addiction treatment will suggest to turn your Life around and make the most of it.

That's what she's doing, fortunately for her she'll probably do well out of her mishap

She's just a reality star now. She has a well known story, lots of controversy, good looking in a trashy/chavy way. Has a book out. Get some pictures in gym gear, pictures falling out of a nightclub and a bust up on morning TV.

What else do you need for a reality star?

I rarely agree with Piers Morgan, But he was bang on the money there.

Remember when she went Missing?

Here here

Look at the fcuking airtime Ted Bundy got, plus he had ladies drooling over him. AFTER he was found to be a serial killer

Cee-Jay-Cee

The only reason people are up in arms about her is because she’s a good looking girl who is trying to cash in on the only thing she can. It’s not like anyone would employ her after her conviction so she really has no option but to make the most of it.

If the other girl (can anyone even remember her name) decided she was going to sell her story or write a book would there be the same reaction?? No, probably not because let’s be honest here, she’s a bit of a minger and people wouldn’t pay her a second glance.

The two girls could write the exact same story and do the same interviews but Michaela would be the only one drawing attention.

I have no problem with her, she done the crime, she got caught and paid the penalty, she should be allowed to do what she wants now, it’s not like she got away with it and is bragging about it now.

Bob Harris

I dunno, I wouldn't say she's that great looking and wouldn't use her book to fix a wobbly table.

Michaella is considerably less of an odious little cretin than Piers Morgan. More bangable too. (Well unless we're talking about banging with a hammer)

He's not in a position to lecture anyone on morality, decency or honesty!

Arghus

The level of pure froth in the mouth hate she generates relative to her actual importance in the grand scheme of things is downright weird.

corner of hells

The cartel want their money back , she's not the brightest knife in the drawer so writes a book bout her smuggling days to pay back the cartel or something like that.

corner of hells

In saying that , I'd say yer man JohnnyFlash will be along shortly to say he gave her a bang of the snake a few years ago.

There's a big difference in Ted Bundy's story and that of the book been released to raise awareness of her knowingly going to smuggle 1.5millions worth of cocaine.

You could understand if it was a case of her been made do it against her own will or her genuinely not knowing what she was to smuggle then it may call for a book, The book is to raise awareness what is there to raise awareness about?

Just just can't get my head around this comment.

Maybe i'm tired, yes, maybe that's it, or maybe you are for the birds

You really think that's how it works?
The shipment was lost, it's not the mules fault.
They move on and just source/send more. They know not everything gets through. They use mules so they can just drop them and move on if it goes tits up.

Her imprisonment put her family in a lot of debt, so she's hoping profits from the book will pay them back.

She just doesn't seem contrite at all, despite pretending to be. Sure, she's trying to make money out of her story. That doesn't mean people have to like her for it.
She traded on her notoriety, while the other one just got on with her life.

Was herself and her fellow smuggler decoys for the professional smugglers on her flight. Can't believe anyone could be so stupid that they would think disguised packages of everyday food would be legitimate looking to be brought back to Spain.

She has great legs. Having said that, I would prefer if bottom-feeding arseholes like Piers Morgan didn't contribute to making stupid, self-obsessed people like this famous.

Or maybe the cartel used her and Melissa as patsies and got three or four other mules through while the Peruvian security forces were celebrating their great capture

she will be on im a celeb, love island or big brother at some stage id say.

How would you get one mule on a plane let alone three or four ?
There'd be horse ****e everywhere.

from looking at the piers morgan video, it looks like she has done that stupid lip job, shes a good looking girl, pity she did that.

I think she looks like the picture that would accompany a wikipedia page titled; 'Halting site bike'. But, I digress...

Surely somebody should do a Mule Island show .

run_Forrest_run

Just watched the Piers thing, she made the fatal mistake of claiming the media made up stories against her. Never attack the media when a tabloid rat like Piers is interviewing you. Still though, he did it well

it would be funny if it ever comes out that piers does coke himself.

I only saw him for the first time yesterday watching the interview with her which unfortunately ended up in other videos showing him with other guests. I don’t know how people listen to him especially in the morning, what an awful way to start your day! I’m sure he’s crystal clean and never done anything wrong in his life, he must have a lot of people digging for dirt on him, he doesn’t seem like a nice person.


Personally I feel she was 20 and made a massive mistake and probably felt invincible..... Most people have made mistakes , admittedly not as big as that, but she’s done her time.

I would also think a lot of the people slating her have taken coke or do take coke...if not coke maybe grass or smoked a joint at some stage..how do you think drugs get into your hands?!

I don’t take drugs but I think it’s hypocritical of anyone who consumes drugs or who has taken them to look down their noses at her...every single illegal drug used had to be smuggled out of somewhere to end up here!!

Don't tell me this numpty is being made into a celebrity ffs!

she should still be in prision
