REST IN PISS, BETTE FAVOR TERRY (a.k.a., Shoalanda Speaks)

The identity of Bette Favor Terry, a.k.a., “Shoalanda Speaks,” was already exposed on this blog a few years ago. Well recently I learned this worthless waste of humanity that apparently lost her nursing license for selling pills and had also served time in prison has joined Valerie “Valigator” Parkhurst in hell. 

Bette, Rest In piss, You Won’t Be Missed!

No posts have been made to the Shoalanda Speaks blog since Bette Favor Terry croaked. It had been suspected for years that Terry worked alone, aside from a couple of guest posts. This seems to validate the suspicions of those who believed Trollanda was a one-twat show.  Her other side hustles, the Pen-n-Sword website, which she used to claim she would "end" me, is defunct as well. LOL

Too bad the cunt was creamated, I wanted to piss on her grave.

NEWS ALERT FLORENCE, Ala.

MORE DETAILS EMERGE ON SHOALANDA’S DEATH

BY WB FRANKS

Staff Writer 

Shoals Insider has confirmed additional details surrounding the death of Bette Favor Terry, 69, of Florence — better known to many across northwest Alabama as the anonymous blogger behind “Shoalanda Speaks.”

Terry was reportedly discovered in late September in a semiconscious state inside her Florence apartment by a maintenance worker conducting routine property checks. She was transported by ambulance to North Alabama Medical Center in Florence, where according to family friends, she gained consciousness and gave personnel permission to do a surgical procedure to remove an arterial blockage. Sources say she never fully recovered from the surgery and was later placed on a ventilator.

Terry was eventually transferred to the Intensive Care Unit at Helen Keller Hospital in Sheffield, where she eventually passed away. According to those close to the situation, she had no immediate next of kin, and Williams Funeral Home in Florence handled her cremation arrangements.

A CONTROVERSIAL VOICE

Operating for well over a decade, the Shoalanda Speaks blog became frequently criticized in political, law enforcement, educational, and civic circles across the Shoals. The blog regularly published unsourced political commentary, criminal speculation, and opinion pieces, often stirring public debate — and sometimes anger — due to its anonymous nature.

At the same time, Terry was known for consistently posting about lost and missing pets, boosting community awareness and adoption efforts for local animal shelters — work many credited as impactful and sincere.

Her final post to the blog was published September 16, 2025.

Several individuals were believed to contribute updates or commentary to Shoalanda Speaks over the years, but it is unclear whether any of them intend to continue operations or form a new platform. As of this publication, there has been no indication of a reboot, transfer of ownership, or continuity plan.

“It may have simply ended with Bette Terry,” one acquaintance told Shoals Insider.

She wasn't well liked:

One Shoalanda Speaks troll has been identified as Bette Favor Terry

I remember back in 2010 trying to file a police report with the Sheffield PD about Shoalanda when she pushed a pic of me and my ex-wife and made a threatening comment on her blog and it was ignored. Fast forward nearly 12 years, and an officer at the Sheffield PD exposed a member of Shoalanda Speaks because of the blog's negative portrayal of his work:

Since this man has asked people to share this, I am sharing this here because exposing any member of Shoalanda Speaks is relevant. And since this was posted by a member of law enforcement, it does make this info far more likely to be accurate than not. 

So it seems that Ms. Terry has a felony conviction herself. So if she is indeed a Shoalands blogger, it seems like a case of classic projection. 

Bette Favor Terry puckering up to kiss my ass

Based on the comments, it seems the Shoalanda blog isn't as popular as some may think:

"That blog is toxic and pisses me off"

"I can't stand her blog, I don't even read it anymore because I haven't read a single truthful thing in all the years I've seen it. It's literally gossip and hate speech."

"I found it, have no idea what kind of craziness rabbit hole it was."

"you def know my disgust for this pathetic blog. I cannot wait for justice to be served one day! In the meantime, let’s alllll remember that Ms. Bette is NOT the only pathetic soul involved in this blog. I often wonder what makes someone so angry that they would defame the character of their fellow man. Tragic."

"She said terrible things ab a friend that died in an ATV accident and ran his name through the mud on her page. She’s trash and I cannot wait until her day comes."

"And just think, this terrible woman is a nurse"

"F*** her! Don't worry about anything that pos says about you."

"I shared this about a year ago because she had stuff to say about me and my daughter and she blocked me, and kept talking about me. Others showed me what she was saying about you but, people who know you like I do, know to look over it, shows she’s a piece of shit to have the nerve to speak on your name after all you’ve went thru. She isn’t worth the attention she gets"

"Shoalanda speaks is nothing but trash."

"I don’t put one thought into what she writes. It’s all garbage. Only people who do are gossips who are so miserable in their in lives they feel better about themselves when they make others look bad. Or just need a hobby. Not that this changes much but I’ve been told she only writes a little or what she actually posts. She takes submissions from randos and publishes them. I think your reputation speaks for itself and anyone who thinks otherwise doesn’t know you or just likes drama. Keep doing you."

"I’m afraid she’s not the only one who writes that. It’s a group of people that all use the same page to write under. There are many “sholandas” and they are all afraid to say those things without the Facebook page and website to hide behind."

This means only one troll has been outed. Hopefully, more will be exposed soon.
