Victorious NJ 'tanning mom': 'People suck' and she's moving
NUTLEY, N.J. (AP) - A New Jersey woman widely known as "the tanning mom" is celebrating a grand jury's refusal to indict her on a charge she unlawfully let her 5-year-old daughter into a tanning booth.
Patricia Krentcil addressed reporters outside her Nutley home Tuesday night by yelling: "cha-ching!" Prosecutors announced earlier in the day she no longer faced a child endangerment charge.
She says her life has been "a living hell" and she plans to move to London for a year to decompress while her husband and kids stay in New Jersey.
Krentcil became a tabloid sensation because of her own deep tan and professed love of tanning. She says "tanning is not a crime" and she'll keep at it.
Asked what she learned from the whole episode, she replied, "People suck."

44? Looks in her 60's to me!
Great logic there Mrs. Loompa, get out of a charge of Child Endangerment and then Abandon your Kids for a year to decompress? Absolutely self centered, maybe you should not have kids after all.
Well there Mrs. Oompa Loompa, Sucks is not allways a bad thing. She must be headed back home to the Wonka Chocolate Factory for some privacy with her family.
She's 44? Looks 64 to me! And by the way, I'm 40 with 2 kids of my own, wear hats and sunblock all the time, and people think I'm 30. Go figure.
"People suck", not People are concerned because you like like a piece of walking horse hide and could make you kid an addict like you are? Â I have never heard of anyone taking a young child into a tanning both. Â Maybe not a crime but damned questionable judgement, especially looking like you do. Â By all means, go to London. Â Maybe your family will discover how they feel when you are not around...?
Now everybody wants to be an Oompaloompa.
Someone take that woman out of the oven...she's done already!
When she dies and they cremate her, it won't take long. She's already half baked.
Thank God I'm normal....ahem.
My son and I have a "code phrase": someone lied to her / him. Meaning: whoever said that looked good, lied!
She has baked her skin beyond redemption and bleached her hair until it looks like straw. Someone lied to her.
Obviously she's an advocate for pre-death cremation.
Take down her picture. Every time I see it I feel like vomiting.
Like being in London will help her blend in? She's going to be in for a big surprise with how blunt they can be across the pond.
@JGalt Maybe she is banking on their National Health System.
@WendyTeagarden More like bankrupting it.
This is one that I am really tired of hearing about! I do not think,that she will be treated any better anywhere she goes. Shes the type of person,that gets the attention the way that she is doing this! The kids will be better off without her!
That is one whack job of a lady. Cancer will catch up to her soon.
How does that things skin not crack and fall off?
The reporters should have asked her:
Orange you glad you didn't get indicted?
@WendyTeagarden FTW...We are done here. :)
Maybe she is trans-racial
@Bert --- Reverse Michael Jackson.
Hey, Patricia Krenwinkle....I mean Krentcil, could you take John Boehner with you?
@WendyTeagarden  A Manson reference, really?
@Kushfan Just gaze into those eyes......
@WendyTeagarden Yeah, and here comes Helter Skelter.
She looks like an Aborigine. Tanning is not a crime, but she is an argument for it to be. Evidently she lacks common sense. Come on lady, you take your kid into a tanning booth? Idiot!
You're going to move to London for a year and leave your family behind? You know what? You're right, people DO suck and you're one of them.
That realy sucks for the kids. Mom disapears for a year, kids are young, it is important for children to be with mom. Except maybe not in this case?
wow
So you run around looking like a freak and say people suck.. Hey guess what freaky, you suck.. You suck as a person, as a mother as a wife.. So there you have it !!! You suck !
@dougrpdx Good for you doug I am sure she comes here to read your posts...
Everyone seems to be sorry for this woman's FACE! I'm sorry for her apparent lack of a brain cell!
She seems to have some serious issues. Hopefully her kid is not severely effected by those...
@Nocturnal Daydreamer She has 5 kids, poor things.
@GladiOla @Nocturnal Daydreamer :(
So a grand jury can indict a grilled cheese sandwich but not a grilled woman????
@WendyTeagarden Good one wendy..
Perhaps she is unaware that Hyde Park is not a place to park your hide.
Nice one Wendy.
She looks like a pair of my old boots.
You have boots that bad?
@tptpttp  Yes.  That's what I wear when I remove the tumblin' tumbleweeds from my yard.
@Kushfan ...and the tumbleweeds spontaniously explode.
@tptpttp They certainly smell that bad
@Kushfan snake skin?
@WendyTeagarden @Kushfan Parchment paper.. and I think it looks better!
Another KATU misprint. Â
44 years old?? Â C'mon man.
That's one scary lady. Â
Hope she enjoys the rainy, gray weather in London. Ought to do her tan a lot of good.Â
Might give her family a need break.
London is a great choice. She won't stick out at all there lol.
She's quoted as saying that ". . . people suck . . .". Interesting. The woman BLOWS!
