If you want to see transparent lying, I wouldn't need to look at Tinsel Korey (who is telling the truth). I'd look at the person who was mysteriously "impersonated" then swooped in within hours of the initial post.<br /><br />I have a yearbook photo of a "Joshua Jackson" who bears a resemblance the actor of the same name and is close to his age. That doesn't mean it's him. She's already got a "stooge" picked out with a different name. It fits with the established pattern of behavior.<br /><br />To believe this lie, we must conveniently ignore that Oxford is pushing 30 (and showing it) and that Korey is no older than her mid-twenties at most. Of course, if people believe I'm Tinsel Korey, I suppose people will believe anything.Nangbabyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15149165621092886924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-46140060041357066842009-10-07T11:39:03.705-07:002009-10-07T11:39:03.705-07:00Another thing I notice is that depending on who sh...Another thing I notice is that depending on who she hangs out with, determins what nation/tribe she's from. Way back in the day when she hung out with Kinnie Starr (who is Mohawk) Tinsel said she was mohawk....now she's claiming anishnabe, and if you notice the most recent music video she did (on you tube) with Wab Kinew....half way through Wab turns around and is wearing a sweatshirt saying 'Team Anishnabe' on the back....um...ok??<br /><br />(Sorry for any spelling errors by the way)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-8497311799185164282009-10-07T11:33:49.649-07:002009-10-07T11:33:49.649-07:00This is just a vicious circle.

People who knew her and who can probably prove (as previously requested) through yearbook photos with names underneath or something of the line her true identity, haven't. But even if they did, all the people screaming in Harsha/Tinsels defence will say it's been photoshopped, or it's a fake image. I guess the only thing we can wait for is if her parents step up, or if it all comes crumbling down on top of her during an interview or something.<br /><br />On the other side maybe she really truly is native, and somehow found this out recently, and I'll be eating my words.

Tinsel was my friend for years. She is definitely lying.<br /><br />2) I've never heard of this Nangbaby. The colour of her writing is like Tinsel's. As in the real Tinsel and not her reputation wranglers. It's possible Nangbaby isn't Tinsel. It's also possible Martians stole my brain and turned me into a zombie who types on a keyboard for the reward of human flesh. I'll let you determine which scenario is more plausible.<br /><br />If anyone has any questions, you know how to contact me. Otherwise, I'll conclude with the following exchange:<br /><br />Interviewer: "Miss Korey, there are rumours you are a Hindu.

Then lo and behold she finds her calling and is portrayed as native in everything she does. (with only a few small exceptions where they were very minor roles ie. "The lookout", "I know what I saw" "The Quality of life")<br />It's hilarious that she first doesn't proclaim herself as anything (when people asked what she was in person she would say Canadian) and now claims she's native but that she's proud of breaking casting stereotypes....um if anything your creating them, from a false image.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-46790174399333777532009-10-02T01:00:00.988-07:002009-10-02T01:00:00.988-07:00Look at this link about Tinsel then click on the l...Look at this link about Tinsel then click on the link for Anishnaabe which is described as a self-identifying term for Ojibwe people - although I suspect anonymous m is more qualified to comment on this subject than wikipedia.<br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tinsel_Korey<br /><br />As for Samuel Bowers - who is the source of the 2005 communication - the only public evidence produced so far - his IMDB handle is path_finder.

NOBODY could question them, otherwise they're 'racist'! Every time an Indian said anything about them, they were labeled as some sort of identity cop or blood quantuum 'nazi'. That is truly sick, considering many of us either are or have friends who ARE non-status or are/know other Indians who've been adopted. I don't go around flashing my papers, nor do I require that anyone else do the same...but I sure as hell know my familial ties and roots. Guess what? Tinsel Korey has none!<br /><br />Quit feeling sorry for this poor privileged girl claiming to be one of US, a marginalized people. She is no victim, she is a liar and thief. She can play dress-up in her promo pictures all she wants (what a hilarious indicator that she needs to grasp for straws as an outsider with no real ties to the culture/s she claims), but she is still an immigrant on stolen land (read: NON-NATIVE).<br /><br />Oh, and Shonto? Go ahead and claim 'Tinsel Korey' as one of your own, but Native women are NOT "yours". You do not own us. Neither does anybody else, and a white guy posting in a blog about a fraud does not constitute as "perverse". You obviously do not care too much about us--"your" women--if you are going to defend someone building a career OFF OUR BACKS. By the way, 'Anishinaabe' does not necessarily = Ojibwe, and Mohawk people do not usually go around calling themselves that. Vague self-identifying does not = Aboriginal.<br /><br /><br />- m.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-9971035087778286562009-09-10T01:00:24.463-07:002009-09-10T01:00:24.463-07:00Someone posted Harsha Patel...

History is repeating itself here, and if she ends up taking down an actress, I will feel responsible because I didn't spread word of Nadia Oxford's treachery sooner.<br /><br />Anyway, the more these attacks go on, the worse they get.<br /><br />Because Korey is supposedly dark-skinned, she can't be Native? What type of thinking is that?<br /><br />By the way, I have plenty of enemies, too. I'll even point some of them out to you, if you want. That doesn't mean what I'm saying is not true, or is.<br /><br />Besides by now, I know Red Draco/Nadia Oxford/Woekitten has concocted some "evidence" to support this, so you won't need an investigator. She'll just get one of her followers to "leak" some information. There probably was someone she knew who resembled Korey, and she thought, "I could simply write Korey is this person and no one will ever challenge me." What's also important to note is that she has "pull" in her community (see the size of her LJ friends list, for instance) and could <b>easily</b> have someone manufacture some proof, if not do it herself. Mrs. Oxford has done it before against me, and she has done it again to Tinsel Korey.Nangbabyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15149165621092886924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-90372387611583132512009-09-06T14:52:51.001-07:002009-09-06T14:52:51.001-07:00Anonymous.Or if u like I can call myself Sue or Bo...Anonymous.Or if u like I can call myself Sue or Bob. Same thing.<br />What is it about this 'topic' that inspires so much anger? <br />If SWK says she knows Tinsel and believes Tinsel and I know Tinsel and think she's a liar who are people to believe and why.People do have information that maybe u don't.<br />Tinsel <br />-admits she "doesn't know".<br />-can't keep her story straight. Ojibwe, Mohawk and Anishinaabe are NOT the same thing. And it is a changing story. NOT that she is from multiple tribes.<br />-She is much darker than her photos look and in person it seems obvious she's East Indian.<br />-Her parents are East Indian.<br />-She claims she's adopted. People have argued that claim as well. <br />-She never mentioned it before 5 years ago? Six? How many enemies does she have? Find one and get the their story. I found just over 10. Wasn't hard. More than one with very damning knowledge of her 'discovery'. People who knew her say they are positive she is lying - Not just this Nadia person.<br />-She gives no reason to for anyone to believe it. She says she's non-status. Some people don't have status. True. But she still won't even say why she thinks she is, mom, dad, grandpa, she won't say anything. Not just online but to friends. Isn't that weird?<br />Ask people who know her in film anywhere in Canada or in the Native community in Vancouver where she lives. Get her side, then get theirs. U'll see the pattern and come to the same conclusions. I have multiple sources with the same story.<br />Its not wrong that she is not Native playing Native. Actresses starting out take what they can. It is wrong that she is CLAIMING a heritage simply to get roles that go out to a small specific group. It is disrespectful. <br />Should Tinsel have to prove her heritage? In this case, yes. Twilight required unknown actors at open castings to prove their heritage so all roles went to authentic Natives. Tinsel was probably not asked because they saw her for Native roles. Why would she lie. Except a chance to act in a really big movie and get lots of money.<br />Can she prove it? Not unless her new hubby's tribe gave her a card. She couldn't do it anytime in the last five years or so since she starting claiming she was Ojib, i mean Mo, I mean Anishinaabe. Hard to keep straight. See why she has trouble. <br />I don't hate Tinsel, I hate what she is representing. If we support her we are saying it is ok to lie, to use our culture and take roles away when people are trying to promote Natives in film. She is making a mockery of a culture that is trying to break barriers - wearing a choker in a headshot picture do NOT make u Native. Neither does asking Native men to marry u so u can be an American.Which she finally did it looks like. Hatred comes in many forms and a 100% manipulated false pride for show, to gain money, is worse than someone or many someones confronting her.<br />Unless someone hires a private investigator we won't ever know the whole truth. Tinsel will crack jokes instead of confronting the attacks, defend herself with false names on websites (or answer "questions from a stranger" on myspace)or have friends who are still duped in believing her to defend her on these sites. <br />Natives are the only race that people have to prove, but u can claim whatever u want, just be prepared to explain it.If someone says we want only authentic Germans for a role and u can't come out and say 'my grandfather is from Aurich' should u be cast? Notice Tinsel is not in any of the promotions but the rest of the wolf cast is with Summit boasting their "real" natives. If she was Native all the Native film people that worked with her would know what Nation she is.Natives when they see another Native u ask where they are from. I'm proud of my ancestors and my blood line. If Tinsel was Native she would proudly say why she "is Native" instead of all this secrecy. Why does she have such a problem with it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-79699872302211864222009-08-28T17:58:44.465-07:002009-08-28T17:58:44.465-07:00The more I look at these claims the more they both...The more I look at these claims the more they bother me. Much of it is based on the information of woekitten who says she knew TK as a teenager. But to quote woekitten:<br /><br />"I knew she was playing aboriginal characters, which is perfectly fine. Lots of East Indians do that."<br /><br />No woekitten East Indians playing Aboriginal characters is not fine and the fact that you don't think so but seem hell bent on attacking TK on a forum about the theft of Indigenous identity in the film industry says to me that you do not get it at all! It makes all your claims smell of personal vendetta and nothing more - heaven help you if this is all a storm-in-a-tea-cup media virus originating only from your gossip!<br /><br />Rob says "...until we see a lot more pro-Korey testimony, I'd say the weight of the evidence is against her..." - I have seen no evidence in either direction - only conjecture and gossip! I actually have difficulty imagining what would constitute acceptable evidence in this case - high school or family photos with the name Patel under them? Would that actually prove she wasn't Native - and if they don't exist what proof will make you give up the attack - the whole thing seems "guilty until proven innocent to me".
