The National Enquirer’s response to these allegations is after the jump:

“A freelance reporter who has known Teri Shields for more than 10 years visited her Thursday at the assisted living facility where Brooke says she moved her.

Teri asked the reporter to take her out to lunch and to run some errands. The freelance reporter then got permission from the facility to do so.

Teri wanted to go to her old house, so the reporter took her there.

She also asked if they could stop at her bank.

Afterward they went to a restaurant next to the assisted living facility and spent time together catching up. Teri ate a cheeseburger.

Teri has long considered this reporter a friend.

Teri returned to the facility in the afternoon.

At no point did the facility, which had given its permission for the outing, contend that there had been any wrongdoing in a situation where two people who had known each for more than a decade.

Even when police were wrongly called in, they confirmed that Teri had left the facility with permission and that no wrongdoing had been committed.”
