When Youtube first started it's community, I was one of their first video bloggers. In fact, I've kept a video journal since 1964 and continue in to this day. During this journey, there have been ups and downs, laughter and tears, panic and pure euphoria, love and hate, pain and healing and almost anything else you can imagine. I shared my entire life with viewers and over several years became one of the most viewed and subscribed channels in the history of Youtube. Sadly as I was diagnosed with terminal illness, hooked up to oxygen and heart monitors some vicious and evil cyber trolls decided they would take on a new mission. Unknown to me at the time a group of "cybertrolls" some that I knew in real life and others that decided to target me just as a vulture circles over their soon to be dead prey, I waited in the hospital for a verdict of whether or not I would live or die. During the same period of time I was "Jane Doe #8" waiting to testify in the Anthony Pellicano trial. I had waited for 15 years to be vindicated for what this man and his thugs did to my life. Sadly, even though I did survive those 15 years, I was entering a new phase of my life that would victimized, humiliate and ridicule me again just as Pellicano and his corrupt cops and political Hollywood connections did 15 years ago. As I documented these years, I posted the video diaries I had made on the internet, this group set up to destroy not just everything that existed about me on the internet, but they seemed hungry to make me the "Adult Version of Megan Meier". For those of you familiar with the Megan Meier case, trolls find it thrilling and a "SCORE" in their world of games, evil and manipulation when they can drive someone to suicide through their constant harassment, humiliation, ridicule and worse. Megan had committed suicide. My viewers were familiar with my innermost thoughts as I shared my life with them. They knew that I suffered often from depression and since I had already been told I was terminal I had already looked in to physician assisted suicide so that my family would not have to suffer with my choices. As I prepared for my testimony in the Pellicano case, I was told that I could no longer "vlog" and had to keep quiet to focus on the tasks at hand. My ONLY desire during this time was to stay alive long enough to testify, so that what happened to me would never ever happen to anyone else.

Below is the original intro to my Youtube Video Diaries:

"If You Knew Exactly How Much Time You Had Left to Live Life As You Know It....How Would You Live the Rest of Your Life? After being diagnosed with a terminal illness, today I live each day as if it might be my last. To best describe my "life story" it's somewhat like a fairy tale, soap opera and chick flick combined in a video diary that I'm sharing with you. My goal is to get to know you while I can and make the best of every minute that I have now. I grew up as a child of poverty with one of those "rags to riches stories". The media has referred to me as the "Real Life Beverly Hillbilly". I hope that it will be inspirational.

As you've read in the channel description, I've been smacked in the face with a health crisis. There's a saying that when you're dying, your entire life flashes before your eyes. Well, in my case, I've worked in television and celebrities practically my entire life. In addition to that, I started keeping a video journal in 1974 to record my thoughts and experiences. I was always too tired to write in a journal, but I found my video camera to be my best friend and confidant'. It is my hope that as I review some of my history, memories and experiences with you that you will learn, laugh and grow and perhaps even be inspired by being a part of my life as I embark upon this journey with you. Because I don't know what my future holds, my plan is to simply try to live each and every day to the fullest extent possible and to share that with you :-) It is my sincere hope that we can become friends and get to know each other. It is also my hope that I can add something positive to your life through my experiences. That being said, I'm cutting and pasting the background information about my career and company so that you will know more about my life so far, workwise anyway. :-) You'll be getting to know much more about me personally as we continue this "Video Diary" experience. I must stress, that this channel and the experiences and videos are all real. There is nothing scripted here like the LonelyGirl15 series or some of the others on YouTube. I'm not putting them down, it's just a completely different channel. The videos and my experiences shared with you are very real. I am NOT now NOR HAVE I EVER BEEN AN Actress! I've never had a desire to act. I have worked in television, yes, but my work in television has been that of what is considered to be an "expert" commentator in my respective fields of work. I'm looking very much forward to getting to know all of you as one human being to another. That being said, I've pasted a backgrounder on my career below. I've had a tendency to be a workaholic my entire life, so forgive me if it somehow seems out of place, but I thought it was important that you have an idea of "where I'm coming from" Here it is: In 1978, at the age of 18 Cheryl then known as Cheryl Peart, made her debut with the Bob Braun show on WLWT-TV in Cincinnati, Ohio and was dubbed America's Coupon Queen. Braun was so impressed that he offered her a position as a regular on the show. Within days another offer was made where Shuman appeared nationally on the popular television series PM MAGAZINE. As an entrepreneur and the nation's youngest syndicated television journalist, her couponing and refunding system made her a branding expert with America's biggest corporate brands. Shuman's career was cut short by a near fatal car crash that ended her career. Transforming herself, Cheryl served an apprenticeship with Dr. Michael Byars of London, Ohio and survived with her backup plan as a Licensed Optician. She moved to California and married Extra TV and Fox News reporter Phil Shuman. After a chance meeting with Michael Jackson, Shuman became the darling of the film and television industry by making house calls with her eyewear to the most famous faces in the world. Beginning in 1984, Optician to the Stars, Cheryl Shuman, was one of the pioneers in marketing the fashion industry to the entertainment industry. As an Optician having direct eye to eye contact, Shuman, realized the power of celebrity and how that power can make a designer or product a household name overnight. Shuman is single handedly credited with some of the biggest trendsetters in the history of sunglasses and eyewear. Terminator 2, When Harry Met Sally, Thelma and Louise, Bat Man, Mission Impossible and Erin Brockovich are just a few of the more than 3,000 feature film and television projects that she is credited with during her 20 year history. Cheryl Shuman. has appeared on hundreds of television programs, newspapers and magazines, including, but not limited to: Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous, Entertainment Tonight, Access Hollywood, Extra, Mike and Maty (ABC), Today Show (NBC), HBO Entertainment News, and more. Through her personal relationships and connections with Hollywood Royalty and the media, Cheryl Shuman shares all of the latest trends in celebrity inspired fashion trends, hotspots for travel, spas, dining, sports, comedy and everything else you can imagine all through the technology of streaming video on the internet and television syndication outlets.

Seagal Ends Six-Year Legal Battle With Producer Partner
8 Jan 2008
Action man Steven Seagal and his former business partner Julius R. Nasso have ended their bitter six-year legal battle, which at one point saw allegations of Mob extortion surface. Nasso filed a $60 million lawsuit against Seagal in 2002, accusing the actor of reneging on a deal to develop and produce four movie projects with him. Seagal maintained no such agreement was ever made. Now, in an out-of-court settlement to end the dispute, Seagal is expected to pay his former best friend Nasso $500,000, while the producer will drop his lawsuit. Nasso says, "I'm glad it's behind us. I wish him the best." In 2002, FBI agents arrested Nasso on suspicion of conspiring to extort Seagal. The producer was charged alongside 16 people with alleged ties to the Gambino crime family. In 2003, Nasso pleaded guilty to conspiring to extort Seagal and ended up serving one year in prison. He now hopes to secure a presidential pardon removing the offence from his record. As part of the pair's settlement, Seagal has agreed to write a letter supporting Nasso's application for a pardon.

"When we would not pay, a phone call was made to Child and Family Services, which started this investigation." He offered no further details.

January 1993: Anthony Pellicano's greatest strength lay in getting people not to talk. Larry Feldman charged that Jackson's side had deliberately used Pellicano in the 1993 Jackson sex scandal "to be out front and make slanderous charges about [Jamie] and his parents." He further states in court documents: "Muzzling independent witnesses, while allowing defendant's investigator to say anything he wants in a declaration for the press, is not justice."Cabell Bruce, a producer for Hard Copy, told of going up to the front porch of a woman who worked at Neverland and trying to talk to her. "She literally started shaking, her eyes filled with tears, and all she could say was 'Call Mr. Pellicano.'" Diane Dimond of Hard Copy complained that every time she found a source who had been close to Michael Jackson the response is "Mr. Pellicano has asked us not to say anything." Pellicano went as far as to offer to pay Kevin Smith to tell him who had leaked the Department of Children's Services report to Splash. When Smith refused, Pellicano pointedly said, "You're not even a citizen" and "I don't want anyone to get hurt in all this." There were also reports that Jamie's father had found a bug on his home phone, and was roughed up at his office. Pellicano denied that he had anything to do with this, saying, "If I had wanted him roughed up, he would have been roughed up." Diane Dimond, who along with local KNBC has broken more new developments in this case than anyone else, says she has received messages via other reporters from Pellicano: "Tell Diane Dimond I'm watching her." "Tell her I hope her health is good."

January 30, 1992: Because of the gaps, Anthony Pellicano said, even more doubt remains about the meaning of the conversation. In addition to the apparent editing, Pellicano said he has a "subjective" judgment that some of Gennifer Flowers ' statements on the tapes may have been dubbed in later, making Bill Clinton appear to be responding to remarks that he never actually heard. "The tape is suspect at best," Pellicano said, adding that, without access to the original tapes, he cannot prove his suspicions. When the Star released the copy of the tape, it labeled some gaps, but Pellicano said the ones he found would not have been noticeable to a casual listener.

March 8, 1990: The Enquirer's chief goon, Anthony Pellicano, began a nonstop campaign to hound Lurie, de Becker and Stuart Goldman (three journalists who were doing an expose on the National Enquirer). He threatened, bullied, wheedled, and cajoled them. (At one point, Pellicano sent Suart Goldman a personal check as "hush" money to keep him from incriminating the Enquirer.) When Goldman changed his private telephone number -- which he did frequently -- Pellicano would call just to let him know he'd "made" the new number. Pellicano never really harmed Goldman, just wiretapped his conversations and terrorized his family. However, Pellicano had "a major hard-on" for Lurie and de Becker, who he said he was going to expose as "a couple of fags." Pellicano stated ominously, "Their lives are going to be disrupted in ways they can't even begin to imagine". subsequently, Lurie, while riding his bicycle, was knocked fifty feet in the air by an unmarked car and wound up in the hospital with two broken ribs and a busted back. Lurie was resolute after the accident, "It was no accident.....they made good on their threat".

He refused to reveal the identity of the informant to police. "All I'm asking is that the states attorney call Pellicano before the grand jury and have him reveal his informant," Archambault said. The states attorney refused to subpoena Pellicano and the investigation was closed.

November 28, 1971: Tony Pellicano, a private detective who specializes in finding missing persons, said, "To many people, the image of the private eye is terrible. They have this stereotype of the gun in a shoulder holster and a bottle on the desk. Maybe there still are guys who operate that way, but I don't know any." Pellicano works out of an llth floor Chicago office designed in rich reds and blacks with S900 mirrors and a giant carved zodiac glazing the walls behind his huge desk. His car is equipped with a telephone for which the monthly bill is $300. "That's why I laugh when I see some television detective handle a case for $100 and get shot a couple times besides," he said. Pellicano, 31, said, "Private investigating is highly competitive, except for me. I'm the best." Pellicano was reluctant to divulge his investigative methods. Pellicano, attempting to explain his approach said, "A private eye needs logic, common sense and a fantastic imagination."

Wiretapping Trial of Anthony Pellicano

2008-03-26T14:23:00.000-07:00

Mr. Pellicano has plead innocent to a 112 count indictment handed down in federal court where he and thirteen others are accused of crimes that include racketeering and conspiracy, wiretapping, identity theft, witness tampering and destruction of evidence. He is being held without bail in LA County. The indictment comes after Pellicano finished serving his 30 month month sentence for illegal weapons possession. An attorney, Terry Christensen,who used Pellicano has also been implicated in the wiretapping scandal in a new ammended indictment. Six people have already plead guilty in the federal investigation and are co-operating with the prosecutors. Assistant U.S. Attorney, Kevin Lally, has indicated that more indictments are forthcoming in the next few months before jury selection begins.

Mr. Pellicano now has asked the court if he may represent himself in the case after he fired his second attorney, Victor sherman and hired Stephen Gruel, a retired federal prosecutor and San Francisco defense attorney. His first attorney had been Bert Field's first criminal attorney as well, Donald Re. Sources say that Mr. Pellicano's funds have run dry and that his current defense is being paid for by one of his former A-list employers. If convicted, he will serve up to 20 years for each charge.

The Los Angeles Times has featured prominently in the reporting of recent current events about Mr. Pellicano. Interestingly though, they have still failed to publicly disclose the extent of their own newspaper's prior involvement with the investigator. Sources say that the in house counsel for the Times had frequently used Mr. Pellicano's services in the past.

There is still an investigative Grand Jury ongoing in Los Angeles probing wiretap and extortion issues with Mr. Pellicano and many of his celebrity clients and further indictments are expected over the next few months. Assistant U.S. attorneys Daniel Saunders and Kevin Lally continue to head the Pellicano investigation and prosecution (213)892-2272 . Stanley Ornellas and Stephan Tidwell are the FBI agents in Los Angeles still working the case (310)996-4305.
