A WBRS Sports Blog Investigation: Was Kim Etheredge a Real Publicist?
After I and fellow WBRS Sports Bloggers MC and Easy discovered on Tuesday that Terrell Owens fired notorious publicist Kim Etheredge, we watched the improbable "25 million reasons" press conference a few times just to remind ourselves how bad of a publicist Etheredge really was.
Did she really say "when I see a man of his statue"?
When asked if she took pills from Terrell's mouth did she actually state "It's been a really long night, I can't remember everything"?
And did she really utter the now famous words "Terrell has 25 million reasons why he should be alive"?
We weren't sure if Kim could have handled this press conference any worse than she did...which got us thinking, is Kim Etheredge even a publicist? Is this her real job? Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. But we do have a reason as to why she seemed a little rusty on her publicist skills during the TO press conference...
Let us be the first to introduce you to Mixed Chicks...
Yes, apparently Kim Etheredge is the co-founder of a shampoo and conditioner company, named Mixed Chicks.
A little synopsis on the product:
"finally, a curl-defining system designed for "us." whether you're black, white, asian, latin, mediterranean, or any glorious combination of the above, you'll love the way these non-sticky, lightweight, products leave your hair inviting to touch as they define and lock moisture into every curl. be a proud part of our multiracial movement, show your curls and radiantly roll with mixed chicks."
This photo from the Mixed Chicks webpage shows Kim and her friend Wendi Levy, the two who established Mixed Chicks together. Under the "Who are we?" section of the website, Kim gives an exciting biography about her life, although she never does mention that she
"i grew up in los angeles, entertainment capital of the world. sun, water, fun, convertibles...the west coast is a beautiful place, but it is hard on hair. participating in all of these everyday activities was a privilege, but try blow-drying your hair to style — now that was a nuisance, not to mention bad for my hair. in a place obsessed with looks, my life was hell. my hair is naturally curly, but i could never wear it out because i had to use too many products to get the right look. i had to search from one end of the store to the other to concoct a combination for my "unruly, kinky, wild hair." that was not only a pain, but expensive too! lucky for me i met wendi."
So there you have it. Maybe little Kim was a little bit awe struck and out of her element at TO's press conference simply because being a publicist isn't the highest priority in her life. We at WBRS Sports Blog congratulate little Kim on her new project and wish her the best in the shampoo and conditioner industry, however we aren't sure how successful she is doing at the moment if she has to rely on advertising on our blog.

you guys are like the Woodward and Bernstein of the blogosphere. investigative SOB's!
Lol, great find, good work!
Personally I think I should step into the ring as TO's next publicist.
"yeah, uh, the reason TO dropped so many balls is because of that Tony 'Romo' guy. Yeah, apparently he refused to throw the K-ball and my man TO here finds it the easier ball to catch. Mm k?"
I'm convinced she was sleeping with him.
Very nice work on your investigative blogging. You guys really do a great job, keep up the good work!
Are you serious, LOL? This so wild, good lord!
She needs not only a career advisor, but a clue...

Kim Etheredge is a personality! And we love it or we wouldn't be talking about it. So let's give her a reality show. She's fine as hell, why not?
