LAWMAKER SHELLED OUT THOUSANDS ON DRESSES
S.C. Rep. Thad Viers – the fifth-term GOP lawmaker whose harassment arrest ended a U.S. congressional campaign (but kicked off an immensely enjoyable Palmetto political soap opera) – has said that he will not seek any public office in 2012.
But will he be able to hold onto his current office until his term expires in 2013?
If Viers is indicted on harassment charges, he would be temporarily suspended from the S.C. House of Representatives. If he’s convicted, he would be removed from office.
Viers is accused of harassing his ex-girlfriend Candace Bessinger, the granddaughter of barbecue baron Maurice Bessinger. Viers invested heavily in his relationship with Bessinger, and we’re not just referring to the $6,000 breast implants he purchased for her in 2009.
Sources tell FITS that Viers also purchased nearly $3,000 worth of ball gowns for Bessinger during the course of their relationship, which began in 2007.
There are also allegations that she obtained a loan through Viers’ connections with an area bank – one of several financial entanglements that we’re delving into.
While we continue to peel back the layers of this saga, here’s another email we’ve obtained in which Viers allegedly harasses Bessinger. We’re especially alarmed by his reference to “cuddling and holding without sex.”
Check it out …

Subject: Little things count
Candace,
For a long a time I always thought the big things counted in our relationship: the dresses, trips, dinners, money,gifts etc—but I was terribly wrong. I thought those were enough to show my love to you.
I missed the whole concept of what counted. You see as a man who grew up in a trailer park that paid for his own way through college I never felt worthy of love;especially not yours. I felt very insignificant in your presence. So, for me the greater and greater successes I achieved the more worthy of your love I was able to receive. Its crazy-but that was my warped thinking.
The problem is I failed to realize-my greatest success in life was your love.
What counts more than anything-is the time and energy I devote to you; not just that, but the personal energy, effort, and attention to show you the love which your heart deserves-the little things like:
1. Not watching tv when your’re talking
2. Showing you affection everyday
3. Rubbing your back, neck, or bad foot
4. Treating you as an equal
5. Listening about your work day
6.Saying and showing my love everydy
7. Making you the #1 priority
8. Talking with you about my problems
9. Sending you flowers for no reason
10. Let u do my laundry anyway u want
11. Taking out the trash
12. Spening more quality time with you
13. Making you feel important
14. Bringing u water before bed
15. Holding you tight
16. Cuddling and holding without sex
17.Calling u for no reason
18. Turning off tv when we talk
19. Letting u talk without cutting u off
And so much more…
I love you so much. I have been doing a lot of self reflecting about our relationship. I know the many mistakes I made. I wish I could change the past;I can’t. All I know is I can change the future and hope and pray that I am given the chance.
I pray everyday for you and us that I have a chance to prove that I can right the wrong I have done in our relationship and give you the Caring, Understanding, Respect, Devotion, Validation, and Reassurance to you and meet your love needs as they deserve.
I love and care for you very much.
Always devoted to you,
Thad
FITS has reached out to both Viers and Bessinger in an effort to get their views on this unfolding drama. Obviously Bessinger was reluctant to move forward with her compliant against Viers, although that doesn’t necessarily mean she didn’t have legitimate grounds to do so.
So far, neither has been willing to comment.
Viers’ candidacy for the newly-drawn seventh congressional district was endorsed by S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley last August. It’s unknown who Haley will support now that Viers is out of the race.
Stay tuned for much, much more … and in the meantime, here’s a high resolution version of our cover image …

Either way, both sides appear to be “white trash”.
By Harry Reids Bitch January 10, 2012 at 9:02 pm
I think Viers is a fucking tool and even I feel sorry for the whipped SOB. He needs a hug and a girl that is not out to keep his nuts in a jar. True love is first degree harassment.

On a serious note, does she really work for the solicitors office where he is charged? Seems pretty fishy.
By hahahohonomo January 11, 2012 at 5:15 am
If she does work there, then it appears this could be both a vindictive and a malicious prosecution matter.
I have seen before where entities within the legal system have used their offices to get more favorable results in domestic cases and the like.
Keep in mind, its very easy to have most anyone arrested. A simple one sided complaint filed with police, then a warrant or warrants can easily be taken out. People will, and do, lie in complaints to the police.
On another note, her boobs are very fake looking.
By Big John January 11, 2012 at 7:55 am
^^^ Doesn’t matter, because boobs.
By I smell a rat January 11, 2012 at 11:29 am
The 15 Circuit Solicitor’s office won’t be prosecuting this. You might know that if Fits printed anything besides booby shots and gossip.
By Garden City Girl January 10, 2012 at 9:12 pm
Candace is a stuckup bitch. I met her one night when she was out with Thad. He was nice and personal and she was bitching about a particular type of wine she wanted. Her loss. I would fuck him! In ten years she is going to be old and wrinkling-no man will have anything to do with her. She just cares about money and nothing else except a ring which she was bitching about all the time to everyone. So i guess the joke is on Thad!

I think this letter Sic has posted makes it pretty obvious this guy was in-love with her, was bending over backwards and treated her pretty dam good.
Where is the record that she told him to leave her alone? Where is her email or snail mail to him stating that? Did she send the police to tell him that she wanted to be left alone?
By horry republican January 10, 2012 at 9:17 pm
Rumor mill in Horry county is that a heavy set female solictor Richardson?? pushed big breast girl into filing a complaint and that Hembree specifically told MB Police to charge him with harassment. Question, if Candace works there and Thad got her the job should Hembree have opted out due to conflict?
By Flunky State of SC.Gov January 11, 2012 at 4:19 pm
I would not doubt that boob girl complained to her co-workers and gave them some bs sob story. Just look at the news reports. The woman obviously is using state equipment and materials to put together scrap book of her side of the story. An all on tax payers time.
What else is going on inside this solicitors’s office?
By nmb elephant January 10, 2012 at 9:19 pm
Wait! Thad got her a job at the Solictor’s office and she works there? Hembree should have stayed out-wait till this hits the press!

Those flicks never, ever, have a scene where the guy is in leg shackles & handcuffs, do they?
Any way you slice it, these emails are in no way evidence of harassment.
It sticks of a set-up.
This story is a loooong way from being over.

I hope there is more pics of bessinger’s-i mean thad’s nice paid for rack. He is a god! Oh how i hope there is more pics. Everyone at the HC County courthouse will know and now know he owns that pussy and those tits! even if she moves on with another guy- everyone knows she is a crazy, unstable bitch-who will be following Thad’s seconds!
Thad is a no saint-actually he a complete first rate asshole! I hate the prick-even after he has been arrested he still strutting around like he is the man–anyone who fucks her after that is just getting fucked by Thad!
I would hate to be her at work–everyone thinking she is whore who was bought and paid for by Thad. What an asshole viers is..
What really sucks is Thad is going to play victim and get pussy like its going out of style-what a dumb bitch! He might have been a Congressman-now he will just be making a shit load of money lawyering and everyone will see her as Thad’s whore. Imagine at work with other lawyers or police office or out at dinner—excuse me, are those Thad Viers’s titties?

11. Taking out the trash
14. Bringing u water before bed
16. Cuddling and holding without sex
WHAT HE MEANT
10. Bitch, better not mess up my laundry.
11. Fuck, gotta take out the trash again, bitch better at least give me a handjob.
14. After the bitch sucks my dick she better drink some water before trying to kiss me.
16. I can cuddle with a boner can’t I.

The real problem that this reveals to me is that, because of email and social media, everyone thinks he or she is a writer.

By Mrs. Ethel Krabitz January 11, 2012 at 5:03 am
The private correspondences you are publishing are pathetic and certainly indicative of desperate douchebaggery. However, I still find it in bad taste to publish them. Bad taste almost equal to that of whoever selected and paid for a dress that clearly does not fit. If Viers just misses those gigantic fake bazoombas….well, aren’t they a dime a dozen in Myrtle Beach? Get out and find some new ones, Thad!
By hahahohonomo January 11, 2012 at 5:08 am
Nice love letter from a man who truly loves the woman.
I see nothing harassing in that email.
By hahahohonomo January 11, 2012 at 5:18 am
Hey Sic?
Can you get a copy of the police complaints? They are a matter of public record; although parts would have to be blocked out by the police department.
Use the FOIA. Criminal investigation or not, they are not exempt from disclosure.
By hahahohonomo January 11, 2012 at 5:45 am
Dylan Goff, the attorney for Rep. Thad Viers said there could be a need for a change of venue since Bessinger works in the “Horry County Solicitor’s Office.”
So this little gold digger works for the Prosecutor’s Office … hmmmm? I smell abuse and misue of public office and ethical violations all ready.
What is Bessingers position at the Prosecutors Office?
Who advised her to secure an arrest warrant over something that appears upon it’s face to not even be harassment?
Where it the evidence that she told him to leave her alone and to not make contact with her?
Where is the evidence that proves beyond a resonable doubt that he did, in fact, harasss her?
Is a love letter in a dissolving relationship harassment? Did he call her “bitch”? “Slut”? “Skank ass ho”? Threaten to cut her up and stuff her in a suitcase or rearranged her face??? Is she on some kind of mind altering medications?
Although anyone has the 1st amemdment right to file complaints with law enforcement, inter alia, abusing that right can bring serious consequences – even to those who may have encouraged such.
This solicitors office has been in trouble before over not following and obeying the rule of law.
By hahahohonomo January 11, 2012 at 6:16 am
“Because Bessinger works as a victim advocate in the 15th Circuit Solicitor’s Office, that office will not prosecute the case, said Solicitor Greg Hembree. The state Attorney General’s Office or another solicitor will handle the matter.”
“Hembree said Viers recommended Bessinger for a solicitor’s office internship, which she received. When a position opened up, she was hired full time.”
http://www.myrtlebeachherald.com/v2/content.aspx?ID=43341&MemberID=1807
Where is the proof that she told him to leave her alone?
The more I read across the internet on this case, the more my gut instinct tells me this woman is not exactly telling the truth. She seems to have a vindictive side to her personality. And I am willing to bet some of her co-workers are jealous of her and him.
Domestic drama. The key here is, did she really notify him through an email or text message that she wanted to be left alone. She has to prove that.
This is nothing more than a former lovers fight … a four year relationship ending … the very young woman wants to spread her legs and experience life. She thinks she is hot shit because of her job title and where she works ( a job that he obviously landed for her ).
By having this pathological narcissist arrested over bull shit, in the long run she screwed herself. Would any reasonable man want to risk a relationship with her now? Why not just send the cops to go tell him to leave her alone? Thats how it is normally done. You let the cops give the warning. And if he didn’t obey, then have him arrested.
If this case is not dropped, I would pick twelve.

Not to be a buzz kill, but he is never going to get those dresses back either. The top fabric has been stretched beyond the design parameters. Fibers can only take so much punishment before they fail to retract to their original cellular configuration. She has devoted too much time and effort searching alternatives to traditional hangers and fabric restorers to simply give them up. Besides, she will need her financially enhanced mammary assets displayed as often as possible to attract another boozed up sugar daddy.

By Dr. Sheldon Cooper January 11, 2012 at 7:00 am
The OWB estimated that the Bessinger Islands come in at 3.5 lbs each. To put it another way Mr. Viers spent approximately $53.57 per ounce to display his love and affection. Come on people, the man doesn’t want Candy back. He wants his investment transferred to another bimbo who isn’t so mouthy.
By Dr. Leonard Hofstadter January 11, 2012 at 7:11 am
Too bad Balsak hasn’t piped in on Nikki Haley’s lack of breasts, dresses, bling, anything. If Candy could get 10K out of Thad, you would think Nikki would get millions out of Will, Larry, Thad, Nathan, Mark, Bill, Mike, James, Toby, Earl, Wilford, Stan, Nick, Tim, John, Paul, Peter, Hank, Buddy, Dan, Damien, Dean, Don, Alfred, Richard, Roger, Samuel, Ramo, Pierre, Francois, Henri, …….

And this does seem to reek of politics.
By PeachyKeen January 11, 2012 at 9:59 am
Seriously. I’m still waiting to see any “harassment”. Why is this news again? So he sent his ex-girlfriend some really bad, sappy emails at the end of their relationship. Isn’t that just what people do? The only thing I see wrong is the fact that he doesn’t know there are three letters in the word “you”.

By Flunky State of SC.Gov January 11, 2012 at 4:38 pm
Yeah. There are hundreds of women who would rattle his bones.
Love sucks when it ends. But he has to move on or she will destroy him if she can. He has to be on his p’s and q’s from here on out and not even so much as drive by her home.
If he keeps his cool, he will come out on top. And 5 years from now he will look back and see that she was not really worth it.
Most of us men (even women) know how spiteful and vindictive women can sometimes be.
I wouldn’t trust this woman at all. If she had him arrested, she doesn’t give a flying f*ck about him.

By I smell a rat January 11, 2012 at 11:35 am
Listen up, you dumbasses, when a man keeps emailing and calling and showing up at your got-damn WORK place after you tell him to stop bothering you, it’s stalking and harassment. The begging and pleading in those emails makes it even creepier.
I don’t know anything about Ms. Bessinger, she could indeed be a “stuckup bitch” as some bimbo said in a comment above, but she’s entitled to be left alone.
By sid January 11, 2012 at 11:52 am
She could have simply deleted any e-mail messages if she didn’t want to read them. Even better, she could have had them automatically deleted. I don’t know about any phone calls or showing up at work, so perhaps that’s an issue, but receiving unwanted e-mail that in no way conveys any sort of threat is not, in my book, harassment.
By I smell a rat January 11, 2012 at 11:57 am
I’ll be you’d be singing a different tune if your email inbox was filled with emails from someone you had told to stop contacting you.
I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that most of the commenters on this site are stalker-supporters.
By sid January 11, 2012 at 1:29 pm
I doubt it. I know how to use “delete.” But to put things in perspective, define “filled.”
As for your conclusion regarding those who don’t completely buy the whole “harrassing” angle of this particular story, stop sniffing your rat. It’s affecting your cognitive skills.

By interesting thought January 11, 2012 at 12:11 pm
I actually feel sorry Candace even though she is stupid. What an idiot to think that she would not be exposed by all of this. She didn’t want to press charges and wants to remain private. Maybe she shouldn’t have had a state rep and leading candidate for Congress arrested and shackled. Her lawyers and the female solicitors that obvious have other motives here should have known that her name would come up. WHy not a restraining order first? I mean really-straight to a general sessions charge? Really?
Her attorneys did her a great disservice. Now she will be remebered for their actions as a gold digging whore who wants her boyfriends to pay for her stuff, get her breast implants, and get her money.
Everyone now at the courthouse knows now about Candace and who she is and what she is about…great job!
By Flunky State of SC.Gov January 11, 2012 at 5:27 pm
Restraining orders are easy to get. And with her working in the Prosecutors office, easy access to the forms and a judge.
My opinion, you use the police. You use restraining orders. Its her word and her father’s word against his. She works in the Proecutors office as a victims/witness advocate? Then she of all people would know the norm … you ask the police to give the ‘no contact’ notice. I have had to have this done before over a psycho female stalker.

So, she was Thad’s first pussy. How old is he? 35?
(She’ll drop the charges.)
By Flunky State of SC.Gov January 11, 2012 at 4:48 pm
I think it would be in her best interest if the charges were dropped and the records expunged.
If this goes to a full trial, media will be all over the story, that this was just a lovers fight, that a picture would be painted as to how she and others inside the Horry County Solicitors Office possibly abused their government employment.
There are no reports of domestic violence nor have I seen anything where the police told him she wanted no contact.

Here’s a possible scenario for you: Someone in the solicitor’s office “befriended” Candace, and pretended to want to get her and Thad back together. That person (no doubt female) also encouraged Thad in ways to win her back, including that romantic-girl’s wish list. That “friend” was playing both of them.
That strategy assured that Candace would have a bunch of “evidence” against Thad. She may have really been reluctant – but if that were the case, since there was apparently no violence or threat of violence involved, there would have been no reason at all for the City to press the cops to arrest him, and to parade him in leg irons & handcuffs for the media.
Set-up, sure as hell. Dirty tricks by the “Myrtle Beach Mafia” that wants Rice to win in the 7th, in yet another dirty election where they are using Whetsel & his gang.
Stay tuned. They will try to take out more candidates with similar machinations in the next few months.

So let me understand. You have a guy who grew up poor, worked his way through college, and made something of himself. He loved Candace. It’s obvious. He showered her with gifts and poured out his heart to her. Candace used him, and kicked him to the curb. Hey Candace, money does not buy class…but it does buy a trashy look.

Candace is a slut. Supposedly she is trying to fuck a RL Johnson family member for his money. He’ll fuck her, but won’t get to close to her because she is money grubber! Bitches are crazy!

We have a right to our opinions. This story is well known all across the State of South Carolina, and then some.
Future runner for United States Congress pulls out because girlfriend who works as victim/witness advocate in State Prosecutors office has him arrested for stupid sh*t without any creditable warning to him that has surfaced, where he was properly notified by the police or her lawyer to not make any contact.

I don’t know which of these two is the more grotesque. How pathetic!

Maybe Candace can fleece another man,return the boob job money to Thad so he can pay his legal fees.

Thad,Thad,Thad,sweetie,dontcha know? While your email is more than worthy from someone with trailer park beginnings,let me clue you in to a couple of things that will help you when the next love of your life/soulmate gets that crazy ‘I’m going to dump you’ feeling and you want to proclaim your love in words.
One,never,EVER,and I do mean Never, list the ways you show your love.The written list is best left for the grocery store. In this case, you don’t want it sounding like a To-Do’s of Love list.
Second,once your one and only takes that first crucial step to deposit your butt on the curb,(pay attention,now,cause this is important)you can never go back. It just ain’t gonna be the same,bucko.
Now then…tuck this away in your wallet for easy future reference and you’ll be good to go.
