Is Fabian Basabe possibly less rich and more despisable than previously thought? WWD's Memo Pad steers away from its usual chronicling of style editors coming and going to hunt down the truth of Basabe's supposed fortunes. With nary a sexual orientation mention in sight, we almost didn't bother with all those words devoted to the supposed philathropist — and then we found our moment in the sun:
He won't likely be taking his talent to ABC, though. A minute later, Basabe wagged a finger at the network's "20/20," claiming it had fleeced him.
"The interview wasn't meant to be on party boys gone bad. It was supposed to be about a nonprofit foundation I've created this year and am working on building. I was pretty disappointed," said Basabe, who recently appeared on the E Entertainment network reality show "Filthy Rich: Cattle Drive." "I don't normally bend over backward to give access to people."
It's true! Fabian only bends over backward to give access to skinny male model types.

It is a true disgrace to see someone take so lightly that it is ok to smash 2 BMW's in one weekend and not even bat an eye, too bad his father spoiled this kid rotten, Mr Basabe, you may be a philanthropist but you are not helping your son in any way. What he burns up in one weekend would have paid for my mortgage and I would be out of debt. I have worked all my life, married, raised 5 children, left my husband and started out on my own after the youngest moved out. I had no money, bought a home, car and furniture. It is truley a struggle but it is mine. When I see waste like what your son wastes, I want to scream, why do those who have so much not appreciate anything they have?Do you have any idea how many children go to bed hungry every night while your son is partying with your money? Of course you do.
What a shame. Shame on you for not making your son become a man and work for his belongings. May then he won't be smashing up bmw's.
