Happy Thanksgiving 2012
Today is a day of thanks and reflection. If you can, reflect on yourself and ask questions. Over the year have you helped? Have you touched someone else’s life? This has been a very trying year for me. I have been tested in every way imaginable. My fight is daily both professionally and personally, but I’m thankful. I have made so many friends along the way and I have really learned about life through others. TheDirty has taught me more than any professor and I’m thankful for this website. If it wasn’t for this website I would have never went to Haiti to help children in need, if it wasn’t for this website I would have never felt how cancer took Sarah Elizabeth Kennedy’s life, if it wasn’t for this website I would have never become a man, if it wasn’t for this website I would have never found my wife and most importantly become a father.
I’m thankful for my reflection. Everyday I intertwine with millions of people’s lives hopefully to wake them up to a world of change and personal awareness. I truly believe selfishness is our worst enemy. I know I’m not the most liked person in the world, but if I can make someone else smile I feel like the domino will keep hitting.
Thank you to our troops who fight for our freedom. Without you America dies. Freedom of speech and expression is what drives our country. Lastly, I need to thank you. Being DIRTY ARMY is not easy, we are the cubical warriors and underground misfits who shake the world. As bad as it might look, we are here to HELP society by shifting the wrong. Our internet invention might be unorthodox, but we are a team that will never give up! Thank you.
Happy Thanksgiving.- saint nik

Happy Thanksgiving Nik!!
DA Strong! xox
This website has made me smile for 5 years straight. Thanks Nik.
That was beautifully written. “Shifting the wrong”, perfectly explains so much. It’s what you do. It’s what I do. It’s never easy but it is absolutely essential.
Happy Holidays to Nik & The Dirty Army.

Shut up you stupid nobody, you are a nothing.
Hahaha that is such bullshit. All you are is a group of bullies.
this was beautiful nik.
Nik, It’s great that you’re learning, reflecting, growing from this…But there are a lot of good people on this site who were put on from HATERS. I don’t know how you can continue to put females on blast and try to embarrass them, when you have one of your own. As a fellow parent to a young toddler, I sincerely hope your little girl or my little girl never end up on a site like this….Your karma doesn’t look too bright tho.
Yep, says you. People who make judgement on others Karma is ruining their own. Look it up or better yet study what Karma is or does. It’s kinda like the passage: “Judge NOT and ye not shall be judged”
I’m thankful for The Dirty, and for you Nik. Your website has taught me a lot too. God bless you and your family! xoxo
i dont understand how he has such a “good heart” and makes people feel AWFUL on a daily basis. if these mothers in Hati were posted he would blast them and knock them down too…its pathetic. UR A GOOD PERSON OR UR NOT. and 99 percent of what you do shows you arent.
Shades of gray, anyone? Not just a bestseller for horny housewives
doing something like this doesn’t erase that you are probably one of the meanest spirited people on this earth.
these people you are helping aren’t connected to media so they don’t know how awful of a person you are. if they did, they wouldn’t want you anywhere near them. You must be bi polar…mr good deeds all of a sudden.
Yepper, I can see how a uhhhh let’s say a 7 year old kid that is homeless & hungry and possibly lost everything they have or a Mother with 3 kids and is homeless would say “Oh, You write a scandalous gossip column in Hollywood, CA so we’ll pass on the help.” Yeah Einstein, we all know hungry, homeless people or anyone in desperate need, only want help from Mother Theresa! But if you’re ever in need, be my guest to ask for the credentials of people offering you help. Good luck with that!
What a nice change of pace for those poor haiti kids,instead of being used as pawns by celebrities they had a nobody come visit them.
Thanks Mr Richie for being an inspiration and helping people in more ways than one I am very thankful
Well I think all you are is a misogynistic, racist bully and your “army” are just bitter losers with too much time on their hands : ) I’m guessing you got a few too many wedgies yourself when you were younger and that this is your reaction to that. I also wouldn’t be surprised if you turned out to have narcissistic personality disorder. Definitely mommy-issues anyway. Also, why did you change your name from “Hooman Karamian”? Whats there to be so ashamed of in your past?
Gave me goosebumps and made me smile.
DA strong !
Nik. You are awesome. I understand everything your doing and trying to accomplish. keep on hittin these people with a dose of reality! God knows the world needs it. Thankyou. And happy turkey day!!! Xo
ps shayne you are awesome too, and absolutely gorgeous.
Thank you for trying to change lives. I am sure plenty of folks have a thousand negative comments regarding you and this website. I am of the opinion however that taking action for these children without a voice is incredible. You brightened their day and gave them a precious gift, hope.
just what africa needs, another white savior.
I hate to break your confidence since you made an awesome negative, nasty comment. But Nik didnt go to Africa, he went to Haiti. At least get your race putdowns right used douchebag. Have a wonderful day!
He’s only wannabe white. He’s a persian jew. He changed his name and everything.
This comment from ink must be one of the most hyporicitcal comments I’ve ever read.
aw this is nice
Wow even on Thanksgiving, some people just don’t know how to be nice. If you ask me, that’s pathetic and mean spirited. And if you think Nik is that bad, stop coming to his website and wasting your time commenting. Happy Thanksgiving Nik, Shayne and Pres !
Hmmm, whats worse, the commenters putting Nik down here on his precious Thanksgiving post or the commenters who criticize the body of a young woman who was murdered under the post about her death in a manner that emulates Nik? Who’s more in touch with reality and humanity I wonder?
you talk about black folks…but yet you are helping them out? you are a confused soul….I am not sure you are helping them from the goodness of your heart…you are helping them for attention.
this is a publicity stunt well played! lol but he don’t rip on kids , he rips on strippers hoes pimps and women beaters. alleged pedos groupies , also some innocent people, NIK hates everyone but not equally he thinks Asians smell , but u should have ur pics on social media secured!!
I have to be honest Nik…I did not read any of this because it was way too damn long….Don’t you bash people who write long things on your site saying how you don’t read it…but you turn around and do the same thing???
Gobble gobble Nik! DA strong!
absolutely beautiful video, warms my heart to see someone actually taking the initiative to actually go and help.Love it!
Well said Nik
Quit being bitches. Just send a text and get over it. I’m pretty sure none of you are perfect or even trying to make any difference, and seriously if you don’t like it go to another website. Meh! Love you guys!! DA strong!
Camille, I agree with you, and some of the other DA commenting. Some of these people are acting like butt-hurt bitches. The answer to their problem is so simple-if you dont like Nik, The Dirty, or the DA, just dont come to the site. Then you wont feel bad about others opinions that you dont agree with. Its an American right; freedom of speech. Nik Richie is one person ensuring that Americans keep that right!! DA strong!
Nik, Great Thanksgiving wisdom. I’ve enjoyed watching you & Shayne this year. You both (and especially sweet adorable Press) deserve ALL the very BERY best! I pray your work together has continued. I also hope your growth as the talented and intelligent individual you are has continued to grow and more importantly; that you REALIZE & understand that the trials ARE tests. How you respond (not react) to them is more important than the test. Keep your eye on the prize good man! Also RE: The Dirty to the Haters ummmm why are you freakin’ reading it? Looking for your Mothers name? It’s en-ter-tain-ment people, not the gosh blessed World News!!!! Not your type of entertainment you say??? What, did a zombie type the web address in your ‘puter, mobile, Mac (insert web access here) Bimbo? Just like a TV show that you don’t want to watch, you do have choices…….and Nik Richie has freedom of speech. God Bless America! Oh, and God Bless the Richie Family for the help they have given those in need & the difference it has made.
✌
Hi Nik. I’ve become a fan of yours from Couples Therapy and started visiting your site daily. It’s a complete turn around for me because I used to loathe you. You are a genuine person with a (surprisingly) good head on your shoulders. I really hope to see you in future things besides this website. I know that reality TV kills relationships, but I would love to see you and Shane on your own show.
Happy Thanksgiving.
That was nice!
Happy Thanksgiving to you, your gorgeous wife & daughter, and the DA
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours Nik, i may not agree with everything that you say, opinions are like assholes, every one has one, but one thing i can always count on is a thought provoking stand on issues by you and most of the people on this web site, if all else fails, it’s great for a laugh…thanks for all that you do…:)
I hope you read these comments, I am thankful for the endless entertainment on your website. I’ve read your site for years and I love it. Happy Thanksgiving, hope you had a great day!
Happy Thanksgiving Nik, to you and your’s!,
Nik, your site provides a great deal of entertainment. However, you are still cyber bully to the 10th power. It is really pathetic when you try to spin it as if you are helping others. The site is still funny tho. Happy Thanksgiving.
Nik, sometimes I give you a hard time for the comments you say. But honestly, I give you props for being so upfront & honest. I also realize what you say is apart of the entertainment. If you weren’t so crass, the website wouldn’t be as interesting.
Ever since I randomly stumbled upon it a few years ago, I haven’t stopped coming back. It’s such a guilty pleasure, as it is for so many.
Keep it up dude. I wish you & your family well over the holidays.
It was all good…except for the Dodgers hat.
why did shaynes brother fck his ex step mommy?
PUBLICITY STUNT!
I have become such a fan of you and your wife from couples therapy and i havent heard of this site before then (yea where the F was I) lol but i love it. Theres so many celebs with more star power and dont give back as much as u do so much respect and i hope u and your fam much love and happiness!!
The people who tell Nik that he sucks but yet reads his site everyday. Who speak ill of him but hates when he speaks ill of people who submit other people. This site is user fed, so everyday people submit everyday other people. Nik doesnt go out and find these people. You dont get it, Thedirty or Nik Richie.. Your behavior should be top notch to other people so you dont end up on this website.
Agreed. There’s so many comments on here hating on Nik, but you’re coming onto HIS website to leave the comment..right?
If you’re so avidly against it and what Nik has to say, then the solution is simple: STOP viewing the website.
Anyways, for every view you’re only helping contribute to Nik’s salary.
I thought you hated blacks? And the publicity stunt is cute btw, you were probably sizing everyone up and thinking how they aren’t to your standards. You are just another dirty persian, you don’t even look like a white person yet you glorify them so much. Your wife hates you.
I hate new fans. He did this almost a year ago. And the DA helped him. This was not a publicity stunt. He did not go to media and say look at me. We did this to help the kids so get over yourself and be ready for the next mission soldier.
Lol damn straight NIK RICHIE YOU HAVE SOME BAD KARMA COMING YOUR WAY BASTARD
Nik, have you burned bridges with Shayne? Because I think she can be helped, with determination and the right therapist. It seems like she desperately wants to connect, but needs the tools to learn how. It’s obvious she keeps you at arm’s length but she could learn why she does it and how to stop, so as not to repeat the same behaviors with her daughter. Oh, and she needs to NOT read this blog! My husband probably notices every little flaw too, but he mercifully keeps that away from me!
notice how in the post it says “i, i, i!” “me, me, me!”
Good for you Nic.
