Extreme Makeover's Ty Pennington bounces back with new ABC contract
Published on Jun 24, 2007
"Ty, you've really proven yourself to be a true hero and a great role model. Despite your mistake, you took the bull by the horns and took responsibility for your actions. I can't imagine what you went through as you tried to get through this, but I'm sure it must not have been easy. We're all still rooting for you and hoping you get a second chance at staying on the show. Ty, you're one heck of a fighter, and because of you a lot of people have the confidence to face their problems the same way."
Christian has reported a postive outcome,
"Well, in the end, Ty Pennington has proven himself by clearing up all the problems himself. In the end, he plead "no contest" to his charges for driving under the influence, one of which was dropped and he recieved 3 years probation, 90 days suspended driver's license, 90 days in an alcohol treatment program, and for community service, he will be attending a meeting with the "Mothers against Drunk Drivers" support group. On top of this, he has made amends with ABC and they have since let him back on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition as host. They have already filmed the season premire in Hawaii for the fall and we can look forward to seeing more of Ty in the future. As for the 450 signatures this petition has gathered, they will be seeking another purpose. Instead of sending them to ABC, I have sent them directly to Ty himself, to show that we were all supportive of him and we wish him the best in the future. To everyone who signed this petition, thanks for supporting Ty during this incident."
