Angie Harmon counsels her Twitter followers, calls them ‘Twangels’

Angie Harmon showed up last night to officially flip the switch on the UNICEF Snowflake at the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church in New York City, and my first thought when checking out her outfit was, “Wow, interesting hankerchief!” Then I realized that it was actually a flower-shaped object that was part of the fabric of her skirt. Angie’s definitely made some questionable fashion choices, including a recent bustier that made her girls look almost fake. However, this outfit isn’t terrible at least in a festive sense. Those dangling sleeves are meant to look festive, right? I don’t know. Also, the skirt makes her seem a little hippier than usual:

Lately, Angie has kept a rather low media profile since her summer-based rant about how life is so difficult since leaving her children and husband behind in North Carolina, but she knew that she was doing the right thing because the “Rizzoli & Isles” script was a sign from God. She also wanted to invent something to cure mommy guilt — delusional bitch.

At any rate, I was very curious as to why Angie has been so quiet lately, and the answer might very well be that she’s discovered Twitter in a huge way; that is, the verified account of Angie Harmon has already 39 times today. And (get this) she calls her followers “Twangels.” Ugh. Tweeting in such an excessive manner seems like just one more way that Angie distracts herself from life itself, but I will give her props for interacting with her fans, especially those who seem troubled and in need of her (very specialized form of) guidance:

Okay, I can’t hate on her for attempting to encourage this young lady and give her hope that life will eventually get better. Angie probably feels like she’s helping this girl out in a very profound way, and maybe she is? Still, this woman decided in her own mind that “God” was a great reason to abandon her family and return to Hollywood for months on end, so any advice concerning “God” from Angie might be, um, well-intentioned but still a blanket excuse for disregarding free will. If this Twangel’s home situation is really that bad, maybe she should move to another relative’s home or contact law enforcement. Staying put just because Angie Harmon thinks that everything is part of God’s plan might just be a dangerous thing to do.

    This post is a classic example of a celeb doing something eg tweeting, and a gossip writer taking it, twisting it out of context and making stuff up along the way.

  2. INeedANap says:

    I wish she would have replied with the number for Hopeline or a suicide hotline…that girl needs someone to talk to, not a tweet! I hope she is just being melodramatic.

    (The skirt — I don’t understand how she looks hippier than usual. Not all of us want to look like teenage boys. It’s still an ugly skirt though.)

  3. Diane says:

    She’s so pretty and never seems to age.

  4. Kelly says:

    She looks so much like Ali McGraw – so beautiful.

    That said, that was an incredibly stupid answer to someone who is crying out in mental anguish. There have been many cases where people have expressed suicidal thoughts on the internet, and have then killed themselves when no-one acknowledged them or reached out to give them concrete advice, like CALL A SUICIDE HOTLINE or SEEK PROFESSIONAL HELP. God has a reason for you to be here? So what about all the people who kill themselves – God didn’t have any particular plans for them, so He let them go??

  5. lucy2 says:

    I don’t understand why someone would turn to a cable cop show actress they’ve never met to help them with a personal family problem, but…hopefully they find help from a proper source.
    I think stuff like that puts celebs in a weird position. I don’t take issue with her response, but agree that directing someone like that to real help would be best.

  6. ROM says:

    She looks like the older version of that Jenner kid. Almost scary. But both are good looking women tho

  7. glyrics says:

    Love her! Rizzoli is my girl crush

  8. Rhiley says:

    I have never liked her. 1) She is a terrible actress and was horrible on Law and Order. 2) She is such a stepford wife: no personality, classic cheerleader looks, fug, boring clothes. 3) She has the personality of Elizabeth Hasselbeck. 4) I think she is probably very socially conservative. I have a hard time understanding really socially conservative people. I get fiscal conservatives and even social moderates but right winged social conservatives baffle me (that’s me, I’ll own it). 5) I bet if given the platform she could probably spout some sanctimonious mommy sh*t to whomever would listen (Twangels).

  9. Catherine says:

    If God works at the suicide hotline, then maybe he will help, otherwise she needs professionals to help her out.

  10. Twangel says:

    This is complete and utter bull*$## Angie Harmon is a celeb that takes time out to listen to her fans. Even the ones that may seem a bit desperate. How many other celebs that you know do this everyday? It shows a sense of modesty and just how down to earth she is.

    Everyone is entitled to their own life, their own view and opinions, so stop hating on Angie. Her Twangel army is bigger than you know. We support and love her and one negative comment about it really isn’t going to impact our world, or hers in the slightest. But I’m super glad you had your rant, got it off your chest and I hope you feel better.

    And Rhiley, Angie Harmon is not in the slightest bit socially conservative. If you took time out to read some of her tweets, you will actually see what a party animal she is. She is full of fun and full of life. Wow, people can be so judgmental. If you personally know her, you are entitled to your opinion. If you dont how can you even begin to judge.

    I have so much respect for Angie moving away from the busy life of LA and wanting some stability for her girls and her family. So they have an opportunity to live a life that’s not full of the glam and spotlight. Everyone needs time to adjust to a new setting. She is human after all.

    We love Angie just the way she is and I can promise you she won’t lose any sleep over this.

    TWANGEL.

    First, the relationship between Angie Harmon and Twitter is more win/win than destructive.
    Angie loves her fans and the fans love her and they/we have a mutually beneficial exchange.
    This particulary tweet is taken somewhat out of context as well: this particular girl communicates a LOT with Angie Harmon, who does her best to keep her spirits up. Mots of these cries for help comes from young girls desperate for her attention, who exaggerate quite a lot to get it. She knows pretty well which ones who do that, so she’s not as clueless as you make her out to be, really.
    Do I as an atheist wish that Angie Harmon would occasionally advice some of her fans who act out to look for a therapist, not a movie star as their advisor? Do I wish she would not let teenagers treat her as their mother? To be honest, yes, quite frequently. But Angie Harmon almost exclusively uses her faith as a method of installing confidence in others and that is far more constructive than most Christians, to be frank and possibly offensive 😉
    She’s not socially conservative. As a gay person, I’ve felt nothing but seen, respected and embraced by her, as has people who disagree with her politics or her opinions on other things. She is an exceedingly tolerant person.
    She might be somewhat naive regarding her fans, that much is true, but that she loves her fans too much is surely a luxury problem, yes?
    She is utterly delightful, which you might find if you saw the whole pic and did not focus on fault finding.

  12. Sneaky says:

    Clearly someone hates their life so much that they have to trash a celebrity who was doing something to highlight a very important cause that you ignored so you can talk about her clothes.

    Angie Harmon is one of the few celebrities on twitter who actually replies to her fans. So she cares about her fans and really wants to help them. And you have a problem with that?

    You don’t like her clothes? Boo-f*ckin-hoo.

    It must be really sad to be you. I pity you.

    And YES, I’m a TWANGEL, you jackass!

  13. Angiefan says:

    You got this wrong. She means here as in this world, as in not to leave it prematurely/suicide allusion. She doesn’t mean that this girl should stay in any bad situation.

  14. Eixel says:

    It is sad to see that a celebrity who truly cares about her fans is being picked on and criticized. How many celebs do you know take time off their busy schedule to be there for their fans?

    Angie makes every single “twangel” feel special, because she knows what to say in every situation. She is like that safe harbor everyone can go to. And just as she is there for every one of us, she has a network of people who always have her back.

    That tweet you were talking about is from a girl Angie has gotten to know, so when she told her that life would get better and to trust God is because Angie knew what she was saying and who she was saying it to. Oh yes, because believe it or not, Angie knows who each of her twangels are.

    I respect and admire Angie so much, because she took her family to NC so her girls could grow in a loving community. That’s what a good mom does.

    I know it’s easy to criticize from the outside and I don’t mean to pick a fight. I just want you to see Angie through our eyes.

    I am proud to be one of her twangels.

  15. Doors says:

    I’m going to start out by saying this – Angie Harmon is an amazing person. I noticed your ‘article’ – if we must call it that – doesn’t have any quotes from the lady herself. Guess you didn’t quite have the guts to actually speak to her knowing you were going to draft this piece of garbage we are calling an ‘article.’

    Her ability to reach out to people on Twitter is a wonderful thing for so many of us TWANGELS. And there is no UGH after that. Angie tries to offer guidance to the younger people who seek out her help/advice, while joking and laughing with some of us who are older and can relate more to some of her comments. Angie is a mother, so if a younger person is seeking her help, it’s no surprise that instinct is going to come alive

    And let us not forget—she was lighting a snowflake for a charity that benefits CHILDREN. Angie also teamed up to design Christmas cards and the proceeds of her cards go to a CHILDREN’S charity. So you see, yes, she is going to try to help where she can.

    Also, since it seems you were actually at the event, did you happen to notice how very touched and excited Angie was that some of her Twangels came to greet and support her. I think she was just as excited as we were to be able to see her! And she was gracious, sweet, adorable and wonderful. Clothes don’t make the woman – hell, she could’ve been standing there in a trash bag for God’s sake – she would have looked every bit as beautiful.

    Angie Harmon is a beautiful person, inside and out. Perhaps that fact would have been a better focus for your ‘article.’

  16. B says:

    Wow, these days where Reality-TV kills many good scripted show, you take the time to diss a real actress? Congrats. Even worse to single out one girl who made the mistake – in the blogger’s eyes – to tell her favorite actress a tidbit of her life.
    It’s kind of ironic, reading the rules for comments, and too bad you don’t give the same respect that you demand.

    You know,some people just might find this article offensive.

  17. Assyrian TwAngel says:

    I just want to start out by saying that Angie Harmon is an amazing woman, and not as you described her. She puts God before everything, then family, then her fans and everyone else, last, herself. She cares so much about eveyrone, and is always reaching to help out in any way she possible could.
    She also inspires people, of all ages, from young ones to older ones. She is a great person who knows love, never hate. She is a down to earth celeb, unlike many others. She loves to meet her fans, without security being around her. She loves to make people happy. As far as family and work, she has to support her family in some way, and she does that by working, and it happens to be she is an actress. It is very hard for her I’m sure to be away from family.
    As far as her clothes, she can be dressed in clothes made of balloons and she would still look gorgeous. Angie always helps those in need, a comment from her puts a smile on a person’s face, even if one of us had a bad day, and to us that means a lot. It means she cares. Angie Harmon is an angel sent from above, always there for us, protecting us, making us laugh. I love who she is and what she does and I am sure all my fellow twangles, agree with me. Angie Harmon is my Goddess, and I love her. Please don’t hate her because she cares, please don’t write bad about her because she loves God. I am sure she was chosen to light the Unicef snowkflake for a reason, and I can assure you it is not because she is careless. She does care for others, trust me, she really does.

    I am a Twangel and I’m proud of it!

    I love you Angie Harmon! Muah

  18. Sonny says:

    To whomever wrote this: You need to get a life. It’s pretty pathetic you’re writing about somebody who just tries to be nice to her fans as though she’s the lead culprit of a mass murder.

    I think it’s brilliant that Angie uses twitter. I also think it’s brilliant that she has so much love for her fans, and that she tries to help people out. Come on. Realistically, people know Angie Harmon isn’t going to swoop down out of the sky and save their day, but kind words and support can go far.

    So why don’t you actually take a leaf out of Angie’s book, and perhaps write something positive instead of negative? Something constructive instead of trying to stir up trouble?

  19. RTR says:

    To the writer of this, what can only loosely be called an article: If Angie Harmon makes even one lonely girl smile a day because of something she tweeted either to them directly or not, she’s done a hell of a lot more good in this world than you.

  20. Kris2813 says:

    I read this article and was so disheartened. How anyone could say the things said about Angie is unbelievable to me! First, let me explain that Angie does NOT encourage people to stay in bad situations! The only encouraging she does is encouraging people to have the strength to be themselves. She lifts people up! Also, let me address the disparaging remarks made about Angie and her faith. Angie shares her faith. I simply do not understand why anyone has a problem with this. She doesn’t force it on anyone telling people what they should believe. She simply shares it. I, and several others, appreciate this. It does happen to be a free country. Also I can definitely tell that this author is not a mother. I happen to be a working mother, and I can assure you I miss my family. Also I can tell that you don’t really follow Angie. If you did, you would see how much she loves her family. Truly are you saying that a woman can’t be a good mother and work. Certainly not. Angie and I are strong women who are raising strong women who can be ANYTHING they want. We love them and cherish. And yes, miss them. I assure you we are no less mothers than the women who stay home. Angie’s daughters are loved. If the author doesn’t believe me, this person should open her eyes and take a look at some of those pictures. Surely not even you, the author could be that blind. If you, the author would look deeper, you would see the wonderful person all of us, the #Twangels are BLESSED to know. Yes, #Twangel and proud of it.

  21. Mari says:

    everyone has her own idea.. but.. it doesn’t give you the right of say such a thing about her.. cause there’s something called RESPECT.. you know.. you don’t like her.. but if u’re gonna talk about her.. first you’ve got to know her..

    You should try to spread more love and stop hating..just saying

    P.S.: the only GOOD THING about the “article” ..THE PHOTOS.. GOD! She looks beautiful, she’s beautiful. THANKS 4 THE PICS!

  22. Britsh Twangel says:

    Angie is a wonderful kind and thoughtful person who only try’s to help and give comfort. She loves her family friends and also her Twangels she’s a awesome actress and an inspiration We love you Angie. #Twangelsunited. Angie please keep doing what you always do. Thank You

  23. diva(twangel) says:

    So here’s the thing. I wasn’t going to comment because really, this idiot doesn’t deserve all the attention he/she is getting. But I thought I would put in my few cents.

    First of all, yes, I AM A TWANGEL. Love it or hate it, we are CONQUERING the Social Network. (Ex: TWITTER.) And second, hasn’t your Mommy taught you if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all?! My goodness… Anyway, about Angie being conservative? She is completely OPPOSITE of that. She loves laughing and having drinks via twitter with her older/LEGAL Twangels..it’s all for good fun and laughs. That’s how down to earth she is. And who cares what she’s wearing?!! She looks hot with a garbage bag over her head.

    Anyway, there isn’t really anything else I have to say to this idiot who just sits around bored and thinks, “Hey!! I’m going to bash a celeb I’ve never met!! And while I’m at it, I’m going to bash an innocent young girl who I’ve never met either!!” I really hope you find God my friend…or…maybe just a life.

  24. sassy says:

    First off this article was RUDE!! 2nd u should never put that tweet on here wasn’t fair to that girl and was uncalled for.. What gets me is why do u care what Angie does?? Why do u care what she writes on twitter?? And why do u care she calls her fans Twangels?? What she does has no affect on ur life so there is no need to write rude/not true things about Angie.
    Her beliefs and morals are wonderful and if there were more people like her out in this world it would be a better place… If only u knew all the charity work and all the things she does for her community its amazing.. she’s such a inspiration to many people and that’s Great!!!
    She’s such a family person and I think that’s great.. So HONESTLY there was NO need to cut her down and disrespect such a Beautiful person.. TWANGELS ROCK!!!!

  25. RizzoliFan1983(PreciousTwangel) says:

    In the words of Jane Rizzoli(Angie Harmon) REALLY?!?!?! you dont even know her so how can you bash her????????? She is an amazing actress and such a lovely person, if your gonna bash someone GET TO KNOW THEM OR SHUT THAT HOLE IN YOUR FACE.

    PRECIOUS TWANGEL and PROUD TO BE ONE
    :))))

  26. Nicola says:

    To give a little context, the girl is one of the regular “Twangels” Angie has some degree of familiarity with. It might sound silly, but there truly is a little community of fans on Twitter that she tries to keep up with. She does recognize people from that group by name and remembers things about them. The girl in question has been outspoken about being a Christian in the past, which may have influenced how Angie chose to respond to her.

    That being said, not sure why the writer took so many jabs at Angie in this article for no real reason. The criticisms were all over the place and came across as just being mean for the sake of it. I can appreciate well-placed, cleverly constructed snark even if it’s at the expense of a celebrity I like, but cheap shots miss the mark for me.
