Overly tan mom says 'jealous' haters make her see red

5/4/2012

​Dear media members, late-night comedians, Snooki and anyone else who has balked at Patricia Krentcil's overbaked face since it landed in the news this week: The tan-lovin' New Jersey mom thinks you're all green with envy -- "jealous," to be precise -- and "fat" and "ugly," too.

Continuing to insist that she did not bring her 5-year-old daughter into the tanning booth of which she appears all too fond, Krentcil says she's a "great mother" and not the "tanorexic" everyone's been calling her. "I don't care what anyone thinks of me!" she said Thursday. "There's somebody out there, for my whole life, that doesn't like me because they are jealous, fat and they're ugly." And they wish their noses were browned to a crisp, too.
