I reject the premise of the thread title because it insinuates Joseph P. Buddens is capable of "winning" at anything.
Did Tahiry take a personal loss? Sure. She's getting older every day and I doubt her career is much of anything these days. That's the life of a video vixen/hoe. You get a few months, maybe even a few years, to be hot...then someone takes your spot. It's a dirty game. Probably made worse by nikkas in her circle wasting her money to finance business ventures that flop.
Isn't she gonna do TV soon?
