Social media

Editor’s note: Facebook is full of comments about Anna Gristina, the Monroe woman charged by the New York City District Attorney’s Office as operating a high-end prostitution business in an apartment in the city’s Upper East Side for five years. Here’s a selection of comments from local residents posted on the social networking site this week regarding Gristina’s bail hearing. A decision was made to note disclose the names of those commenting.

“News crew is in my development to get the scoop on “The Millionaire Madam!” How sad for her children.”

“So that Madam from Monroe is 44 with 4 kids..............I am 44 with 4 kids....oh how our lives differ............... :)”

“We are placed on the Map Ladies! Monroe’s tourist revenue will now go up.”

“Boy makes you realize how truly boring my life is!!!! Hahahahahaha. What I do feel bad for is her kids.”

“I have to admit, I was intrigued at first, but then that feeling quickly diminished and was reminded that none of us are Saints nor walk around without sin..going to leave the judging go the Courts and the Man upstairs...”

“As far as the madam, the only people hurt are the children. I found it more crazy that they have wild boar and pigs roaming the property...”

“Of course the news will be around. Maybe they could do a report on Our Fathers Kitchen or how my niece is a cancer survivor!!!!”

“Those poor kids, how mortifying for them. And I know my hubby’s not in the book, there is no way we could afford it.”

“Yes ... those poor kids! It’s just not right.”
