Default It is NOT Jewel on Facebook [confirmed]

Alan (MrBB) sent Kiera and myself an e-mail asking us to clear up the situation regarding facebook.

Quote:
I'm contacting you in regard to what *seems* to be Jewel chatting with fans on Facebook, which is apparently causing a minor controversy on the WJF. Several have written me about it over the weekend. I was going to let it go in hopes that it would clear itself up but since it seems to be escalating instead, I thought you can pass on this message about the reality of this situation.
I regret disappointing those who are clearly excited by this, but I can assure WJF members that it is NOT Jewel chatting with any of these fans. She occasionally answers questions on her own Facebook page and in her blogs on Jeweljk.com, but she has never chatted one-on-one with anyone directly via Facebook.
It is actually somewhat of a coincidence, as we are discussing the possibilities of doing one-on-one chats with fans and how to possibly make that an occasional happening. She has been doing this quite a bit with Almost Famous contest winners each night of the tour and it has been quite interesting and enjoyable. Some of these one-on-one in-person interviews have been extraordinary with great questions by wonderfully intelligent fans. Often much more impressive interviews than the professionals, in my opinion!
However, the current online conversations are simply somebody impersonating her and amusing themselves by fooling unsuspecting fans. It is unfortunate, but is nothing new. Impersonators have been actively doing these things as far back as 1996. Such is the nature of the Net.
Until we figure out how best to safely facilitate one-on-one online fan chats, the best way to have her actually see and respond to questions is via her blog comments or the new message board on her website. She is personally and actively involved there and fans can be sure it is her. ANYBODY currently chatting one-on-one with fans via Facebook is NOT Jewel.
Please pass this on as well as my regards to everybody at the forum, Alan

Thanks for posting this Robby. Time differences can be a pain so I am only getting this now.

Well it is confirmed so it's unfortunate but I have to admit, I did suspect it but didn't know for certain but I'm glad we know now. It's just sad that this silly person held up so many peoples hopes.

Thanks for the information, but I have never went to chat on Facebook. I just go to these two website; jewelkilcherforum.com and jeweljk.com where I can go for the right news and authentic Jewel blogs.

Yep Jewel is aware of it but hasn't gotten involved. She has left it up to her team and MrBB to let us all know. We just pass on the messages. Or in this case Robby as I didn't get it until a bit later than him.

Thanks again Robby
