Sister Accent Grave: Fauxmicah's Family on What Lies Beneath

Our apologies, possums, for a headline combining a Whoopi Goldberg-film pun with a French grammar pun, but we were so gobsmacked at what we are about to reveal that we couldn't stop to think of something less postmodern and pretentious.

During tonight's broadcast of "Watch What Happens," during which, we are told, Raggaydy Andy indirectly alluded to Amuse-Biatch when discussing the Fauxmicah controversy--because, let's face it, who else posted her yearbook pictures?--we received a fascinating little missive in our inbox.

It purports to come from Micah Edelstein's sister, and from Wayward and Biatchstein's enterprising preliminary investigation it certainly appears to be genuine. However, we of course cannot and do not vouch for it. And with that disclaimer out of the way, let 'er rip:

ABSOLUTELY FAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Trust me, I grew up in the same house as her, she is my younger sister!

Our father is from Cape Town, South Africa, and we have been there. But we were all born and raised in Massachusetts, but we absolutely don't have the typical pak the cah accent, but neither our younger brother or me sound like Micah.

All our family and friends have no clue where she invented this from.

Ciao
[redacted], nee Edelstein

Im so fucking glad you posted on this bullshit promptly...I came home expecting a competition show and got a bs reunion show of only maybe 1/3 of all the contestants of all the past seasons. Somewhat pleased that finally Season 2 (Albeit all Marcel Haters)was present for a mini reunion. Marcel needed to be there but couldn't.

Fauzmicah spewing her shit..Hopefully that is really her younger sister spilling the beans.

Argh I am so furious. And what else? Please post promptly on Ilan's wardrobe this day. HORRENDOUS. Who ever said wearing glasses with tape is fashionable?

I am suyre y'all enjoyed the fashion spoof for Padma. But certainly calling gail's wardrobe more WHorendous was weird.

I can only hope this is authentic since it confirms the observed truth.

Regardless of whether or not Micah's accent is fake, only a shitty sister would send that kind of email. In the hope that Micah's siblings are more loyal than suggested here, methinks the email was faked.

My chuckling was that they referred to your blog and also Micah's comment that her friend made her watch it on TV. I was waitng for her to say, "I have heard you americans like TV's but I have never seen one before."

Well, if that indeed was her sister, no wonder Micah is fu-ked up. Regardless, she makes for great loony bin t.v. and I, for one, appreciate her ability to keep our collective toes on edge and funny bones tickled.

Think of what a phony bitch Micah showed as on TC: maybe SHE's a shitty sister. Just because you're related doesn't mean that you have to put up with crap from your family. I have a sister who is pretty much a POS and definitely a "bad sister". Now, I don't go out of my way to mess with her (don't really have any contact with her)- but if she went on a reality show and told a bunch of self-serving lies? I very well might. Maybe I'm a bad sister too.

That said, I have no knowledge as to the authenticity of the email, but I can believe it.

Anything's possible. ;-) The thing is that Micah's statements, true or false, about her country of origin simply don't matter. Who cares where she's from? Does it affect hehr ability to cook? Or is she running for public office? Come on now.
