Tanning Mom Calls Her Critics 'Jealous,' 'Fat' and 'Ugly'
Patricia Krentcil, Tanning Mom, Criticizes Her Critics : People.com

Patricia Krentcil, the slender, leathery New Jersey mom who's pleaded not guilty to bringing her 6-year-old daughter into a tanning bed with her, is heatedly lashing out at those who may criticize her look.

"They're jealous, they're fat and they're ugly," Krentcil, 44, told TMZ, after saying that "there's somebody out there my whole life who doesn't like me."

She agreed with the reporter's suggestion that she is the victim of a witch hunt, and once again proclaimed her innocence in the matter that has gained national attention.

"I'm a great mother, and I would never do that to my child," Krentcil said while loading her shopping into a car.

Krentcil's daughter, 6, apparently showed up to school one day with a sunburn, telling friends she went tanning with her mom. But Krentcil – whose skin is an unnatural shade of dark brown as a result of bronzing under lights – says the whole thing is "preposterous."

Tanning Mom Patricia Krentcil Lashes Out at Critics

The New York Post calls her the "Toast of the Town." Dermatologists suggest that she suffers from "Tanorexia." And tanning-booth veteran Snooki, of "Jersey Shore" fame, slammed her for being a bad mom.

But Patricia Krentcil, the Nutley, N.J., woman accused of taking her then-5-year-old daughter into a tanning booth, leaving the little kid with burns severe enough to alarm the school nurse, says that her detractors are just jealous. And fat. And ugly.

"I saw the headlines today, but I don't care! I don't care what anyone thinks of me!" The New York Post reported that she said outside of her hair salon yesterday. "There's somebody out there, for my whole life, that doesn't like me because they are jealous, fat, and they're ugly."

"I don't always sit in tanning booths," she insisted. "I have a life."

The 44-year-old mom of five repeatedly told reporters that she doesn't think she has a tanning problem. "Some days I tan more than others," she told the New York Post. "Do you drink coffee some days and some days you don't? It's the same thing. It's just like that."

"I like the sun. I'm from Long Island," she told reporters later at her home. "I lived at the beach."

She told reporters to look at Anna, who recently turned 6 and whose report to the school nurse about "going tanning" with her mom started the firestorm. "Look at my daughter," she said. "She's white as a ghost. She won't tan."

"If I had brought her in there, which I didn't, she'd be tanned from head to toe," she added.

Tanning bed veteran Snooki, who now prefers spray tans to tanning booths, doesn't buy it. "That b**** is crazy," she told "Extra." "You are not supposed to take kids there. Everyone know you are NOT supposed to take kids there."

In New Jersey, children under the age of 14 are not allowed to use tanning booths, and minors age 14 to 18 must be accompanied by an adult.

Krentcil's husband, Rich, says that Anna got sunburned while waiting outside the salon on a warm April day; the owner of City Tropics Salon in Nutley said that his employees told him that the little girl waited outside with her father and brother while her mother was in the tanning booth. But Krentcil told the Associated Press "We went for a walk and I tanned…. I'm in the booth, she's in the room. That's all there is to it."

Krentcil was charged with second-degree child endangerment, and is out on $2,500 cash bond. She was on probation from a 1999 arrest for credit card theft, forgery, and writing bad checks, but that has been terminated, the Associated Press reported Friday.

'Tan Mom' could face 10 years in prison
'Tan Mom' could face 10 years in prison | HLNtv.com

Patricia Krentcil, now known as 'Tan Mom,' could face up to 10 years in prison if she’s convicted of child endangerment for allegedly taking her five-year-old daughter into a tanning booth last month.

The Essex County New Jersey Prosecutor's Office complaint warrant states that Krentcil took her daughter “in a stand up tanning booth causing first-degree burns on her body.” The warrant also says Krentcil was granted release on $25,000 bail.

Krentcil, 44, denies that she brought the girl into the tanning bed, and says she had burns from being out in the sun.

Her attorney John Caruso issued a written statement to In Session Thursday urging the public to not rush to judgment.

“The fact that she tans does not mean she could ever imagine bringing her child into a tanning booth or bed. Patricia would not and did not do this. All of us as children have heard the old adage, 'Never judge a book by its cover,'" Caruso says.

The Prosecutor’s Office is not commenting on the case, but a spokesperson says the “the investigation in active and ongoing.”

The court has not set a date for Krentcil’s trial.

'Tanning mom' Patricia Krentcil banned from over 60 tanning salons, report says
'Tanning mom' Patricia Krentcil banned from over 60 tanning salons, report says - Crimesider - CBS News

NEWARK, N.J. - Patricia Krentcil, the deeply-tanned New Jersey mother accused of causing skin burns to her six-year-old daughter by taking her into a tanning booth, has reportedly been banned from at least 63 tanning salons in the tri-state area.

The New York Post reports that some salons have taken extra precautions and have placed "wanted" posters behind their counters informing employees to keep her off the premises.

"We don't tan people like that," manager Nicole Simon of Body Works in Garfield, NJ told the paper.

Krentcil has said she loves tanning but wouldn't - and didn't - take her then-5-year-old into a tanning booth. Krentcil pleaded not guilty last week to a child endangerment charge. She says her daughter got sunburned outdoors.

"I'm innocent and it's proven... I would never -- never -- put my daughter in a tanning booth. We go out shopping. That's what we do," Krentcil told TMZ on last week as she was entering a car. "Any mother that makes an accusation about me is not a mother, because I'm a great mother and I would never do that to my child."

When asked by a TMZ reporter if she considered the case to be a witch hunt, Krentcil replied: "Yes. Yes. There's somebody out there on my whole life that doesn't like me because they're jealous, they're fat and they're ugly."

Police in Nutley told The Nutley Sun newspaper they were called to the child's school April 24 because the kindergartner was in pain from a "pretty severe sunburn." In an interview, Krentcil told The Associated Press that her daughter, who was five at the time of the alleged incident in mid-April and has since turned six, got sunburned by being outside on an unseasonably warm day. She said her daughter, however, had mentioned to officials when she complained of itching that she had been to a tanning salon with her mother.

The owner of City Tropics Salon in Nutley said employees who were there that day told him the girl remained outside with her father and brother. She didn't go into the tanning booth while Krentcil was inside. New Jersey state law bars anyone under 14 from using a tanning salon.

Krentcil, whose skin has a deep bronze color from regular visits to the tanning salon, is scheduled to make her next court appearance on Friday. The state's child welfare agency is monitoring the family.
