The Fall of HSN Shopping Host Chris Scanlon

Post by pumplover »

So in the recent post of those old Mickflux clips, it came to my attention that beloved dangler and occasional dipper from yesteryear Chris Scanlon had not so much of a great time after leaving HSN.

On May 3rd of 2019, Christine Scanlon was arrested as a FUGITIVE in Talahassee, FL for two charges for felony theft, two charges for felony forgery and one felony tax evasion charge out of Routt County, Colorado.

She had "fled" Colorado and was living in FL.

This QVC board (even thought she was HSN) had decent conversation about everything. Some of the real fans of shopping networks had insight into her life. Who knew?

Apparently though she was escorted out of HSN the day she left the network, the general feeling is that is was not just the standard security protocol - more like she was pushed out the door.

Supposedly, she left with her "ski instructor" husband for Steamboat Springs, CO. She supposedly signed a deal to present a line of products she developed on SHOPHQ. A few years ago she appeared on EVINE and according to a poster:

"A couple of years ago,she made an appearance on Evine as a vendor rep selling household items, knock-offs from stuff being sold on other shopping channels. Her presentation was completely off the wall. At one point she took off her shoes and ran around the set barefooted. Neither she nor her products ever returned."

She still has a Linkedin page up that said something about a bar/restaurant she owned in Steamboat Springs called Moose Knuckles.

I looked it up and it's now permanently closed. Moving on...

So in 2018, she sold her home at 36882 Tree Haus Dr. for $750,000 - she bought it in 2010 for $600,000. She was listed as the sole name on the deed transfer both times

It was recently sold in 2020 by the property group that bought it from her for $905,000. Here's photos of it on Zillow. Kind of meh.

At this point I guess she split from Colorado and took refuge in Florida, She was arrested at her apartment in Tallahassee. Im guessing she was hoping to live under the radar as long as she could.

I did an extensive search of the Florida and Colorado Department of Corrections. IF she served any kind of prison time, it was minimal, she was in and out, but since they were state charges, she would have went to the Women's prison regardless. I might go look some more, but I couldn't find any kind of court docs or news articles about the outcome of her case. She was arrested and held in FL under $10,000, then extradited to CO - Routt County specifically.

So now I am guessing that she is most likely out, served or is serving a short probation and is just getting by. I It sounds like she had no previous criminal history, so she probably was able to plead down and pay the owed taxes - at least that's my theory.

The QVC board and a couple other places had interesting opinions on her - seems she had trouble with relationships and marriage, and personally I get the feeling that she was not the most loved among the hosts. But that's my interpretation.

I though it was an interesting "foot"note to the life of a woman who in her prime made so many people that have been on this board and others like it go crazy when she dangled that shoe or bared those hosed toes.

While we are free to choose our actions, we are not free to choose our consequences. Just my two cents.
