Yes, those words were pretty harsh and the reason I said them is this: The Ramseys thought Jameson to be a friend and supporter and even though she may want to prove them innocent, it's not right, in my opinion, to think we know what's best for others. That is for them to decide. When you are a true friend, you leave the decision up to the people who will be directly affected and hurt. The "it's for your own good" reasoning is not always right and certainly not fair. I feel she led the family to believe she was fair and honest, even getting Pam to come to chat, and then they had to find out that she went behind their backs and sold these things to the National Enquirer - the tabloids of all things. No matter what the motive, that is back-stabbing and you wouldn't like it if a friend of yours did something like that to you even if she said it was for your own good - because YOU should decide that.

In addition, I don't feel those tapes really belonged to Jameson to sell...it's like selling "hot" merchandise because I don't think she was really supposed to have them. Whoever gave them to her could get into trouble. If someone gave you stolen merchandise and you sold it and it hurt someone, how would you feel? You only have to look at how the Ramseys feel to see they are hurt and again, no matter what the motive, it wasn't fair to ambush them like that.

Edited to add: I believe that jameson still thinks they are innocent. I don't think jameson is stupid or naive. I can't imagine her trusting the NE to do right by this family. They will use the information she sold to them to make the R's look even guiltier because they can and that, imo, does not help to prove their innocence. So what was the purpose? What was to gain?
