I've realized I need to let go of the past.
Aug 25 2009

Assimilating back into the dating pool hasn’t exactly been like riding a bike. It has been over 11 years since I dated and I realized I needed to fine tune my old dating skills a bit. I decided I wanted to meet new people and have fun and not focus on looking for my next serious relationship. I want to take my time and just have fun with it! I’ve realized I need to let go of the past and be happy with my life as it is and to just be myself.

What I realized from my date with Jerry is that I had forgotten how nice and considerate a man (a gentleman, really) can be towards a woman. My blind date with Jerry confirmed that I had indeed done the right thing by divorcing my husband. What has surprised me with the dating world is I forgot just how fun flirting can be! Going forward with the whole dating scene I’m going to be sure to not box myself in and have a certain “type”. I’m going to step outside my head and broaden my horizons and see where it takes me.

I just about died when I heard you were 46! You look like 66! Im serious all the plastic surgery I guess its too late now but you are horribly disfigured-you can always get work on one of those E! specials on people addicted to plastic surgery. Your face would definately kill any desire I had to have plastic surgery so I'm proud of Dr Lee for getting rid of you.

Hey ugly woman (Diane) you are too ugly for anyone to date. You would probably go out with a straight guy and he would turn gay afterwards because you gave him such a bad taste in his mouth. Diane you are sickening, stupid and one of the ugliest and homeliest looking women I have EVER seen.

I am hooked on the show...but Diane you show no professionalism whatsoever. Why not take a back seat and I'll come and run your business for you. Shannyn should be pushing boob jobs for Dr. Lee-Natasha, Gary and Ronnie need to grow up and act like adults in a professional workplace. I would let all of them go and start over. But when you do you need to put your business forward as well and act like you are a professional as well!!!! Grow up and think of the advantages you have been givenand stop taking them for granted!!!!!! Some of us are out of work due to layoffs and you abuse what you have!!!

What a sad time for her family in Missouri to be associated with the likes of this selfish, arrogant,ugly, unprofession stupid woman. Having been married and divorced 3 or 4 times makes you wonder what kind of a person she is....I bet if her previous husbands spoke up, we could probably have ourselves a real show and call it "Bitch of the World". Poor poor Dianne... almost 60 years old and she realy thinks there are 20 or 30 year old guys out there looking at her false plastic face and plastic body when all they want is some of the money she took from all those husbands. The real pity is Dr. Lee who allowed himself to be taken advantage of into making the film. He seems like a nioe guy but after seeing this horrible program, I would think twice before using him as my surgeon. PITIFUL, PITIFUL PITIFUL

Dianne, from looking at your "crib" it's obvious that you have some heavy duty bucks to toss around...and a Bentley. It's just proof that money doesn't buy everything. You have had TERRIBLE plastic surgery and I'd love to know who did that to you so I can avoid that doctor at all costs. Let me give you some advice also. If you treat people with respect, you'll get it back. No wonder your staff hated your guts. Even I hated you and if I worked for you, I'd bitchslap your latex mug from La Jolla to San Ysidro. Then I'd quit before you could fire me. I'd probably steal your Bentley too and accidentially run over you a few times. I would avoid the head area because even a car couldn't crush that much plastic.

I can't believe that people keep saying that Diane is jealous of Natasha!! She is a cute girl, but not enough for anyone to be jealous about. I can't say that Diane handled situations perfectly, but a superior always deserves respect. If Natasha, Ronnie, & Gary do not like her they should have quit. To think that Dr. Lee would pick those three imbeciles to run his office shows you what idiots they are. There definitely are worse bosses around than Diane. Look at that jack a** on the Bravo show Flipping out!!! I am sure Diane will find something new to do. The other 3 are a bunch of losers.

I was forced to watch this show, as my girlfriend found it funny. All I can say is ugh, just, ugh. I can't think of one redeeming quality possessed by this person. I wonder if she is thinking that everyone writing against her is just jealous--wouldn't surprise me, her capacity for denial seems to run rather deep. I don't mean to be mean if her face was reconstructed due to a horrible accident, but it seems like her face was an intentional horrible accident in itself. This woman is a horrible role-model, and honestly, one of the most vacuous, entitled people I have ever seen. Oh yeah, that is what I originally wanted to say--how ironic that this empty, empty person is calling someone else 'entitled.' Just like half of the other things she says, it seems like she doesn't even really know what 'entitled,' means. Honestly. just because she is writing someone's paycheck, does not excuse her behavior. What's even funnier, is that it seems like she thinks she is some sort of modern business woman diva. I bet Sarah Palin could've done a better job running that pointless business, and I am not trying to compliment caribou Barbi. I don't know, hopefully this wretched woman can spend some money on something constructive, like a good psychotherapist, and become a bit more self-aware. Why not do some volunteer work, and give something back to the community? Seriously, just try to find a way to be less narcissistic, and maybe you can be a little bit less ugly.

Dianne, you need to listen to yourself the way you treat your employees before pointing fingers at them. You never do "admit" when you are wrong and then when you are, you start blaming your employees!! That is so unprofessional!! You need to realize that you are the leader of these wonderful employees you had hired. They did things for you, they helped you selling make-up, they did make overs on clients!! You should appreciate your employees instead of always bashing them in the head. You arent perfect!! the world isnt perfect!! If you make mistakes its okay to admit them, but blaming or telling your employees that they can do better, or be more organized dont do that when its your own fault!! I have to admit you need to be more professional as a leader. YOu have to be FAIR, EQUAL AND PROFESSIONAL with your employees. You should of had meetings at the end of the day with all your employees. YOu need to be more positive with your employees, because praising your employees will motivate them more and make them be proud of who they work for. You just dont see that in you. Have you ever just closed your eyes and just think of the way you treat your employees? Im not saying everything is all your fault, but I feel that you frustrated all your employees because of the way you handle situations. You should watch the show and see for yourself how you approach your employees. REally you should, and if you dont see anything then you really ARE STUBBORN AND ITS SAD TO SEE SOMEONE LIKE YOU NOT WANT TO CHANGE THE WAY YOU ARE!!

Mark my words...Natasha will land on her feet. Diane will not. I will NEVER EVER buy your products. You couldn't give them to me. What a horrible wretched "human being' you are. You need to apologize to Natasha and others. I am positive this pattern of failure repeats in your life...as you are the common denominator in it all. Suck it up and stop TRYING to be a diva. You WERE a model..and not even one well known by the public. So stop having this sense of entitlement that YOU are more deserving/important than others. Or that you are entiteled to recognition. You are just as deserving...BUT not more. Really if you accept this you will do better in life.

Diane, you really need to stop treating employees like they are your personal servants! This must be a holdover from your childhood at the turn of the 19th century. You are the one who thinks she is entitled because millions of years ago, when the dinosaurs roamed the earth, you were a model/prostitute. Get over it! You are yesterday's news. Stop being so jealous of Natasha because she is young and smart. You had your day...a LONG, LONG, LONG time ago. P.S. I would NEVER buy your products now after seeing how you treat people like dirt. You are not above people.

Diane, you are a bad representation of plastic surgery. You are overdone. I know you probably hate yourself, which is why you did that to your face, but enough is enough. Instead of spending money on more injectibles, spend it on some therapy. You will be happy you did.

FINALLY! Someone here who has said it best! But, I have to disagree in that Natasha doesn't have a real case here. I can see her filing a lawsuit if Diane's behavior created a hostile working environment for Natasha, but Natasha did contribute to the environment as well and the suit would be thrown out the window. But I do agree with you in that Diane's behavior will eventually cost her money. It already has. They lost the relationship with Dr. Lee yesterday, I think.

While we as the viewing audience are not privy to everything that occurred at your business, I would think that the many inappropriate and unprofessional comments/actions made by you that we did happen to see would be enough to warrant a defamation of character lawsuit against you by Natasha. Please feel free to watch the program again and count the number of times you actually engaged in inappropriate banter with your employees. If you have an employee who is behaving unprofessionally, there is an expectation that you will remain 'above the situation' and deal with that employee in a professional way. To think that you have license to respond in the same unprofessional manner is foolhardy at best. Also, please understand that quality managers do not A) have to remind their employees how great a manager they are, B) intentionally sabotage their employees by hiding product or otherwise in the trunk of their car or C) write their business address on a sheet of spiraled notebook paper in lieu of a business card. I watched this show with my wife because it seemed an interesting storyline for a reality program. I must admit, though, that I am routinely appalled at how you behave and wonder with amazement at how you have yet to be sued...

Diane, You must first learn to treat people before you complain as to how people treat you! And you really are not fooling anyone with this whole saint act about the present-day acting culture. I think you know more than you claim to know! Stop blaming others for your mistakes. Your failed marriage and your failed buiness is really your doing. Seriously, stick out your hand and point.

I for one can not believe how unprofessional Dianne is. She is horribly insecure and must secretly hate herself for what she has done to her face. How can she wake up in the morning and look into the mirror? And that self loathing comes across in the way she treats others. She would scare me into running out of the office.

I had a boss like you. I only regret I wasted as much time working with her as I did before I left. Your attitude is toxic and youwill self destruct. You can also expect to destroy any future business ventures unless you learn people skills that you desperately lack. First lesson is, it isn't al about YOU, YOU, YOU! Get your fuzzy eyebrows plucked on your day off like all the other working stiffs and don't ask your staff to cover for you! If you screw up, admit it, fix it, and move on. Do the same for your employees. Treat them with the same respect you expect. You deserved Natasha's harsh words and then some. In short, grow up.

Also, I thinkj if Dr Lee saw how you really treated your staff he would get rid of YOU! If someone told me not to come to an event, I would not. I'm sick of you telling Natasha she thinks she is entitled when you are the one who can't even check on napkins or business cards!

Diane needs to treat her employees better. A good boss does not wait to the last minute to tell her employees about an event and then act hateful and disrepectful when things aren't organized. Give employees the credit for their ideas and no matter how much plastic surgery you get it does not replace class and manners. I was disgusted the way you treated Ronnie and was ot "woman" enough to admit you made a mistake and apologize! No matter how mych you say they are like your children, you don't respect them and act childish when Natasha tries to talk to you about something. And please, you look great but if you can't close your eyes completely then that is enough plastic surgery!

You have great marketing and advertising ideas. You have run a successful business before. Unfortunately, it seems as though you have subpar management skills. Any person not matter their position must realize when they have made a mistake. When the mascara was located in your trunk you should have apologized to Ronnie. Also, you can not blame Natasha for not attending an event when you told her not to come. It seems as though your business can be successful if you respected your staff and they respected you.

Diane, Was that for real? How much was your acting, how much was real? How much did you get paid? I am so glad this is over! It has been very upsetting for family to even think one percent of THAT could really be YOU. I have spent too much time thinking about what you have become? You come from a caring, giving family. I am going to pray that you find a better purpose for your life. You have every opportunity in life to set a GOOD example. I am not going to spend anymore time wondering what you are doing in California, and I wish you would spend some time thinking of what you have become. CHANGES is a good name.

Let me give it to you straight Dianne, women to women. I have bad news; people can't stop watching this show because you are like a train wreck, not because you are a star!! Is this show for real. You are a terrible business women! Has all of that filler gone to your brain!! How dare you complain about the looks of your staff while you look like your skin is melted on your face. I can't believe that Dr. Lee wanted someone like you associated with his business. You should take a long look in the mirror before you comment about anyone's looks. There is a reason that Natasha was chosen to be the face of Changes and not you. As for your management skills, you made a complete fool of yourself. You wouldn't even participate in a sales competition or take your business card while marketing. Talk about NOT leading by example. Natasha covered for you while you were getting your eyebrows done, she organized your life, and calmed the staff when they got upset. You were blind to not see that. You are as shallow as a mud puddle. Jerry was a good looking guy who felt good about himself and you told him that he needed work done? I think you are delusional!! PLEASE JERRY, RUN!!! I can't think of anything scarier then waking up next to an over stretched, orange, freak sleeping with her eyes open. You have had so many face lifts that your yoo-hoo has to be half way to your chin!!

I was offended that you told the gentleman you were on a date with that he needed plastic surgery. You are an obvious addict. Watching you sleep with your eyes stuck open was disturbing. When is enough enough. Your face looks plasticy. I don't want to bash your appearance but I guess you can take what you dish out. You have some major control issues outside of your appearance which is destroying your business. I was appauled that you let Ronnie take the blame for the missing make-up. Natasha asked you if you might have some in your car and you said no. SHAME ON YOU for telling Gary to lie for you. That is so dishonest and proves that you are not a good leader. Why would your staff admit there mistakes when you can't? I think you should have tried to work things out with Natasha. She may have had an attitude but she kept your butt out of hot water over and over again. You never recognized it and one person, contrary to your belief, can't do it alone.

Dianne, I think Dr. Lee had to get rid of you. You look like a plastic chipmunk and that is not good for his business. If a client would happen to see you they would be scared to death to get anything done. You are very bad for his business, not to mention that you have no clue what you are doing. Just because you lay on a table and get a ton of procedures done does not mean that you know the business. Please don't have anymore stuff done to your face. Just get on a good skin care product(oil of olay has great products)and stay off of the operating table.

After watching all the episodes, I am appalled by your behavior towards your staff and how you do your job. I feel that you are only there to make yourself "known" by being on tv and NOT helping Dr. Lee's office grow. You undermine, criticize and you are not qualified to run your office. Even if clients don't want to look like you, which I don't blame them, you also should NOT lie on tv. The situation between you and Natasha was ridiculous. If an employee is willing to go out of their way to help, then they would do it. However, if you blatantly tell them to NOT COME why would anyone still come to that party?! You make no sense. I wonder if any of this is even getting into that empty brain of yours. You should be FIRED.

If I were an older woman, I would not suggest my guy use botox. I think it is actually very sexy when a guy has a few crows feet around the eyes and a few lines on his face. It looks healthy. Like the guy might go out in the sun and do sports. I wonder if she had so much work done due to the ex-husband encouraging her?

Dianne- I cannot believe you put up with what you do out of Natasha and Shannyn.

If you are in charge then be in charge. Your intention was to hire talented people (I don't think they are, but some of the comments on your blong seem to think they are talented)who would EXECUTE your vision, your goals, your conceptions........can employees imput ideas?

You need to grow a pair and speak to all your employee's 1 on 1. Either they will respect your authority as their boss, and this isn't a democracy, or you will gladly accept their resignations. You will be able to replace them. You should hire a professional office manager who can interview and hire a professional staff for you. However, you need to make it very clear to all new employee's that you are their boss and what is acceptable and unacceptable behavior in the office. Cut your losses before it's too late.

You are the boss and you still need to make Melanie stop treating you like she is your boss in front of the staff, I think that is why the staff does not respect you because Melanie gets away with it why shouldn't they.

Diane should take a step back. As a business owner, I would love to have an employee that could be trusted as Natasha is...don't micromanage her! Obviously, you trusted her work or you would have never brought her on again! Not to mention that it's very inappropriate to talk to anyone in that manner and especially a co-worker. Keep up this behavior up and you won't keep anyone and you'll be forced to actually do some work yourself and/or Dr. Lee will throw you out! Wise up before it's too late!!!!

Does it bother you that clients come in and request to NOT look like you?

Dianne, You look terrific in tonight's episode. No more procedures, though. As the old saying goes, "Why paint the pea****?" You didn't need anything to begin with. Trust me!

Diane is so fabilious she makes the show she calls them her kids at the office. The show is great about time Oxygen comes out with something new. Dianne would be a great friend to hang out with seems to work for the guy's.

Dianne's wardrobe is so elegant and beautiful. So perfectly age appropriate, too. Where does she shop? I wish I had her closet.

I have met Dianne many times. She is a very pretty Woman in person and in fact, is very beautiful with little or no make-up. She also carries herself extremely wella and is classy and elegant. This is a Reality Series people... Hello! Of COURSE there will be Drama! Dianne York would not have become such a successful business woman if she were not a saavy and intelligent person. It saddens me how many people whom have never seen her, much less met her can be so judgemental and cruel. Does it really make you feel better to say mean spirited things about another human being? Shame on you.

She had the campiagn in the bag. She is the only young girl image in the main Addicted to Beauty cast. Did you consider that going inhouse to find the image for the skin line would him huge amounts of money in contracting a professional spokes person? Smart man . . .

Does Dr. Lee know that his office is in Carmel Valley not La Jolla?? If La Jolla is so great then he should relocate his office close to Diane's ex-husband. I think it was a huge mistake for Dr. Lee to contract with Diane, even if he did not do her surgery she is still representing his office/practise. Poor business judgement!!!

After watching tonight's show I feel that the decorator, (not designer because she placed furniture and accessories) a was disrespectful to Natasha and Dianna. It's ok for her to disagree, but if you want repeat business you have to treat the client(s) with tact and win them over. I would never use her again.

Dianne will never get a man. She is too critical of them. She really needs to get a new mirror and see the real person she is

I wish Dr. Lee could see these blogs and see how Dianne is so disliked. She told Natasha to be a team player, but she certainly is not a team player. What the hell does she do anyway, besides bitch all the time at everyone. The spa would run alot better if she weren't there. Dianne's clothes are way too tight for someone her age. They don't make her look any younger, just ridiculous. They should throw Dianne out and start over.

She has totally had to much plastic surgery and there is certainly professional help for people like her and I think she should be the first to step outside the box and GET THIS HELP. She has an attitude and I am totally in agreement that this photo must have been her before the surgery as it sure as heck does not look as she does NOW. ANY PLASIC SURGEON THAT COMES UPON HER SHOULD TELL HER TO STTTTOOOPPP!!!!! Enough is enough! And to ask her first date to come in for botox, what was he thinking??? DUH!!!He should not even do this again, the botox or Diane.

Dianne needs to chill out. All she does is criticize her staff and argue about how to run the business. Shannyn was brought on to run the office- let her do her job. Dianne needs to realize she doesnt "know it all" and should start listening to other peoples ideas.

I don't think anybody is a hater. Diane does look way to plastic, I think she probably looked better before the surgery.

if only she looked like she does in this photo, which is either retouched or blurred to hide the plastic look. I agree with the lady from Texas, She has had way too much plastic surgery, and her face looks like Priscilla Presley's. Shame, seems like she must have been really beatiful at some point, since she has a nice nose, eyes and shape of face. The skin is pulled way too tight.. seems like she cannot move her lips, and the eyes are pulled up too far like Joan Rivers. If I were Dr. Lee, I wouldn't want her as a person in the office representing his work(although I gather he didn't do it, as a potential patient or client, that is what I would assume).. I frankly don't know if there is anything that can be done once one is overdone.. Perhaps doing nothing further for a few years, and when there is enough skin to work with - redoing some of it. This is what Bruce Jenner just did after ruining his face with overdone surgery - it relaxed over the years, and a really great surgeon fixed it. He looks so much better now. I am a big fan of plastic surgery, botox and other injectibles as long as they are proved safe(not like the old silicone ones, which were dangerous and looked awful).. I have had a lot done myself, but I thoroughly check out ever doctor, ask to have previous patients contact me(those that volunteer to of course, and if the doc is any good - they will).. so I can discuss their results and satisfaction - and I will be the biggest advocate for the doctor if I am happy. I don't understand why people in the Hollywood area - so many of them - wind up with horrible results so often - a reputable surgeon will, if you ask them for things you don't need and will not make you look better but worse - send you to see a psychologist and not do any surgery on the person. I can only assume(as must have been the case with Michael Jackson for example) these people have a form of body dismorphic disorder - and just go from surgeon to surgeon until one does what they ask, no matter what the results might be - for the money.. Really, can you imagine being a doctor and agreeing to deform someone? Scary..

Dianne, do you have a formal business plan to share with Shannyn where purchases, events, expansions were all layed out in advance and aproved, it would certainly prevent many conflicts and improve communication lines.

dianne, i think you and your staff would have an easier time with you if you would COMMUNICATE with them. i see that as a big problem between you and shannyn, as well as the rest of your staff. for example, ordering cosmetics promo stuff and station: this is something you should have discussed with shannyn beforehand.

Diane I so don't understand why you allow Shannyn to speak to you the way she does..She has absolutely no respect for you..Man up woman and show that one who the boss is or the door.

I totally agree with Janis. I think Diane has had TOO much surgery, injections, etc. However, I think her BIGGEST issue is that she seems to "play" at work. She appears to have absolutely NO business and/or any managerial/leadership skills. Because she is SO lacking in business skills, she should rely on her staff to do their jobs which they seem to be competent at and BUTT out. She acts like a rich wife sticking her finger in with no expertise and now NO RICH HUSBAND to back her. Dianne grow up, get corrective plastic surgery so you stop looking like a plastic lion and take some business classes so you can actually run your business properly and have a clue when talking with your staff. It's obvious you have no clue what it takes to do the day-to-day nitty gritty work of a business. You think showing up in tight clothes and makeup makes you equal to Dr. Lee and qualified to run the business. You ARE NOT and it's embarrassing to see a woman run a business so badly. It gives the rest of us a really bad view and makes it that much harder to get ahead! p.s. What is wrong with you? Why in the world would you make such derogatory comments about your date when he was so obviously in to you? He was great looking, kind and if he's tired of you he's certainly welcome here in Texas! He sure doesn't "need" any treatments in my book. Get real, get some training and get a LIFE!

Working in your office is like going back to high school. So much pettiness,whinning,gossiping, and disrespect. The office work enviroment would seriously give me pause to come in as a potential client.

I doubt Jerry would want to go out with Diane again after her telling him on the first date that he needs botox. How rude!

Seeing Diane would scare any new patient away. Her lips are hidiously big, her eyes are so tight, that she looks cross-eyes, plus she is a real biatch to the staff.
