The Panache Report Exposed (PART SEVEN)
Myra Panache and her aliases often boasted about The Panache Report’s traffic. It was said that PR gets 50-70 million hits a month! In part seven of our ongoing series, we take a look at Myra’s claim and we also compare the site to other black entertainment sites & blogs to see where PR REALLY ranks. 70 million hits a month? We think not!

YOU SAID IT: I always had a few questions about the site
The following was sent to us by Alycia. We thank her for coming forward!
I am now over my initial shock of looking behind the curtain and seeing the craziness, the fake, the pseudo-elitism, etc. I am done with the krazy kool-aid. I knew something beyond major must have gone down when, without fanfare or real explanation, she decided to go private with the site. I even emailed her to ask whether or not she intended to contact ppl, or how she planned to do a membership thing (because I damn sure wasn’t going to pay). It felt as if her game had been called, and she was trying to hide before stuff really hit the fan, and boy did it hit the fan.
I always had a few questions about the site, like: why did they go so hard on Read more »
YOU SAID IT: If the board does return, I certainly NEVER will….

I am Philly Poet who at one time posted regularly on PR, left, and just recently came back.
I liked the site at first due to the fact that it seemed to be filled with bright, intelligent, Melanin dominated people, however there where some things that I could never understand, fathom, and my spirit did not agree with.
#1 was ELITISM. Why would a person or persons that are truly for the upliftment of Back people encourage/celebrate prostitution, gold-digging(which they claim to be against), degrading of single Black Women(which they also claim to be against), superfluous materialism, and dating Read more »
BREAKING NEWS: Blind Item Archives? GONE! Comments? GONE!
Looks like someone is getting their granny panties in quite a bunch. The Panache Report commenting section is no more and the blind items archives that was previously accessible have suffered the same fate.
From Myra:
FINALLY!
(MEMBERSHIP BLIND ITEM BLOG)
This was originally scheduled to be implemented earlier this year, we apologize for the delay!
Moderation has become too time consuming for staff and we experienced technical problems regarding the comment section last week. This was an indication to ready the private/membership “blind item board,” without moderation.
Effective immediately!
Blind items and the blind item comment section will Read more »
YOU SAID IT: The elitism that they tried to emulate was truly nauseating
The following was sent to us by former Kool-aid drinker, AngieB. We thank her for coming forward.
Ok. I first started to get turned off by Panache Report when the regulars, specifically Gorgeous Sable, would post the disgusting tidbits she did about Sallie Richardson. Then, the BI’s about Aaliyah and Shakir Stewart really got to me. The lies that she would post when I knew that she was lying got on my nerves as well.
The clique-ish atmosphere, the mean girl “troll” bashing, tag teaming, and the way they treated certain posters was the last straw. Namely Ms. PDyse, Golden Girl, ShellyBelly, KOS, and SheKnows. I didn’t specifically correspond with most of the posters that they have run off, but the way Myra allowed them to be treated was the last straw. The elitism that they tried to emulate was truly nauseating.
I hated Lit/Lau. Pompous, arrogant, “Halle look-a-like”, high-strung, Eddie George & football player-chasin’ shoe whore bitch. Sable was a wannabe gold digger, green-eyed, fake-hair wearing tramp. Madison was the “retired in her 30’s” elite wannabe ho. Lobbyist was the “Capitol Hill” wannabe politician but stuck being a Lobbyist azzhole.
We think a lot of people were dismayed by the blind items that were purported to be about Shakir Stewart and Aaliyah.
