It’s been a while since we picked on Hilary Duff. From the the July Elle, Hil’s description of boyfriend/Good Charlottean Joel Madden:
“He doesn’t socialize. He’s very real, like, he’s from a pretty ghetto place in Maryland. . . . I like that.”
BWE asks, where, precisely, are these mean streets of which she is so enamored?
Waldorf, “the shopping capital of southern Maryland.”

Wow that was fast!
“In a June 2006 article of ELLE, Hillary Duff referred to Waldorf as being “pretty ghetto”.”
Parts of Maryland ARE ghetto…but I’m not thinking Waldorf is one of them.
I grew up in MD. Yeah, there are ghetto spots in MD, Waldorf not being one of them. Waldorf is basically a long strip mall on rt. 301.
Growing up in Maryland, I’ve spent a lot of time in Waldorf and I can assure you, it’s not ghetto. One of the only bars there is a Bennigans.
No, Waldorf isn’t “ghetto.” It’s about as “ghetto” as the Stuff by Duff or MADE clothing lines, which I think you can find at the Target down there. Come north an hour to Baltimore, hon.
Hillary’s veneers are pretty ghetto.
I’m a graphic designer living in Baltimore. I can tell you that Baltimore is a tough town… they don’t call it (C)harm City for nothin’.
Waldorf is in Maryland, but isn’t much like Baltimore… or D.C. for that matter. For the most part, it’s an upper middle class community with pretty low poverty numbers.
I hear some of the residents play hockey.
are you really a graphic designer? like a really, real one? You guys are the best!
On topic, Hillary is just sticking up for her mans because he gets crapped on by many. More on Hillary and Joel Maddens inferiority complex after the jump.
shouldn’t that guy be in jail? maybe that would give him some street cred.
This gives me terrible flashbacks to five or six years ago when I was a big fan and wanted to visit Waldorf very badly.
I like to call it Bodymore, Murderland, ’cause I’m so clever! That almost makes me feel bad for Hilary Duff, it’s so cringeworthy.
The racial makeup of the CDP was 61.11% White, 31.98% African American, 0.54% Native American, 2.59% Asian, 0.02% Pacific Islander, 0.88% from other races, and 2.88% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 2.91% of the population
The median income for a household in the CDP was $68,869, and the median income for a family was $71,439. Males had a median income of $45,293 versus $35,386 for females.
They are livin’ in the ghet-to!
If she thinks Waldorf, Maryland is ghetto she wouldn’t last a week in Detroit…trust me. Not that I’m saying anything bad about either place…but…it’s not so nice up here in the D right now.
im curios where are the ghetto places in Maryland?
im curios where are the ghetto places in Maryland.
Kevin, ever been to Baltimore?
Just to be fair though, don’t most people her age/demographic use “ghetto” as a synonym for something that’s “lame?”
i know his sister. i grew up in mont. co. on the OTHER side of DC… waldorf isn’t THAT ghetto. c’mon…some areas are just kind of…well…hick…like laurel and stuff…
PG county! would never live there again, though… blech
well, I live just north of MD in Lancaster Co. Pa, and I know that inner city Baltimore and D.C. can be pretty bad–but the rest of Maryland is mostly a suburban sprawl. Except for maybe western Maryland, where they still have some redneck Klansmen.
and Good Charlotte is about as punk as the Archies.
Waldorf is a ghetto of whiny white hot topic fattys.
Haha…Waldorf. That’s where my family and I would stop for bathroom breaks and lunch on car trips from Virginia up to Pennsylvania.
Everyone is absolutely correct about Baltimore (pretty much anywhere outside of the inner harbor and Ravens/O’s stadiums).
Yeah, it’s so ghetto they don’t have a Williams-Sonoma
so ghetto they don’t have a Williams-Sonoma. Baltimore isn’t totally ghetto outside the harbour. Fell’s Pt., Canton, Mt. Vernon, Federal Hill – all not ghetto. West BMore & N.E. BMore – very ghetto. But Madden doesn’t go there Im sure.

Robbie_fearless is right. I live in Owings Mills, about 20 miles outside of Baltimore, but I’ve been going to school in Baltimore since grade school. There are specific places in Baltimore, especially Fell’s Point, Canton, Mt. Vernon, Federal Hill, and the Harbor that are beautiful places (and not too ghetto at all). If ghetto people started moving in, everyone else would move out and relocate to a newer and better place.
But Waldorf…with a median income of almost $70,000, and basically the entire place being a giant strip mall…yup that’s pretty damn ghetto.
wheres it say she’s referring to waldorf? he’s probably lived in other, more ghetto places, too.
can we just chalk this up to hillary being an idiot?
The homies from Waldorf — home town of Good Charlotte lead singer Joel Madden — took exception to teen queen Hilary Duff’s description of her boyfriend’s birthplace as “a pretty ghetto place in Maryland.”
La Plata HS, ’97 writes: I graduated from high school with Benji and Joel Madden of Good Charlotte and they are NOT from Waldorf, despite their claim. They grew up in Charlotte Hall, which is actually “the sticks,” not “the ghetto” . . . Ha! Those guys are the biggest posers.

Trying to Clarify a ‘Pretty Ghetto’ Statement
Duff Says She Wasn’t Talking About Waldorf
Duff issued a statement last week through a publicist claiming she “never said any of those negative words” in the Elle article. She fired that publicist late last week, and her new publicist, Samantha Mast, said Duff’s comments to Elle were taken out of context.
When Duff used the words “pretty ghetto,” Mast said, Duff was referring to an apartment in downtown Baltimore where Duff said Madden once lived.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/06/24/AR2006062400015.html
waldorf is an example of how humans don’t have to be homeless to be trashy.
Stupid celebrities trying to cover up their stupid, lame dumbassitude. If she was talking about Baltimore, why wouldn’t she have said that and not “a place in Maryland?” Where the fuck else in Maryland would we think she was talking about? There is nowhere else. Spin did an article about the Baltimore hip hop scene before it became a gossip rag. Apparently it has the highest murder rate of any major city. You have to love a city whose football team’s name is a Poe reference. The Ravens have (or used to have) 3 mascots named “Edgar”, “Allen” and “Poe.”
I think she meant to say it is “pretty hoosier” and she “has low standards”.
Her third publicist, who is expected to start on thursday, will issue a statement that she was misquoted. The actual quote should have read, “a pretty grotto placed in maryland.”
why do u waist your time posting things like that who cares if its ghetto or not there aloud to have there own opinions and if they think its ghetto let them think it.. so give it up because i think you guys are the losers for waiting your time grow up some!
i guess for hilary duff its pretty ghetto compared to the life she lives its, but i guess she would think that staying at a best western is pretty ghetto. pshhh rich people they really need to wake up. i have been to waldorf its pretty normal…

If Duff thinks Waldorf is Ghetto, then Joel better not take her ass to Clinton, Capital Heights, Oxon Hill, College Park, Seat Pleasent or Landover. Or God forbid, cross the Maryland line into S.E. Washington D.C.
Joel…wy do u hav 2 pick on hilary? She suks… I love you!!!! Can you plz come 2 Malaysia plz… I really love you! But now im only 12…but i think we can be couples by smsing!!!!Plz give me ur handphone number plz… i’ll give u mine if u give me urs!!!! E-mail me ur phone number…
Lov ya, Carissa. I LOVE YOU!!!!
Been there. It’s not depressed like many of the folks in the Ozarks but many of the houses are smaller ranch types. There’s some tornadic activity there as well. Many parts of Maryland experience the wigger phenomenon and they are a few years behind the trend of New York or L.A.
The High School proficiency for Math and English is below 70%, with English closer to 60% side. The schools are probably a little on the rougher side.
Sure, one can talk urban blight having been in Jersey City and near Newark for a few years. Hilary can walk behind the Capital Building in Washington DC to see some. You’ll see plenty there. Just a few block behind it.
I wouldn’t call Waldorf ghetto as much as I would dumpy white trash americana. But I guess that’s harder to say and not as hip.
I was a fan of Hilary until I read the article, I’m from Waldorf so I’m pretty upset with her statement..Waldorf is a pretty nice and decent place
I grew up 10 minutes from Waldorf, it’s not ghetto, but it’s definitely for the white-trash, hence Joel Madden & Hilary Duff.
I was raised in Va. until I was about 10 we lived up north….and when new kids would come from Baltimore we stayed the hell away from those people. Baltimore is scaryx023802348. It was when I was a kid.
The rest of Md. is a big,sad, ugly shopping center. Worst place evAR!
Fuck all of you. I am from Maryland and I know some of you NJ and NY assholes are not calling any other state ghetto.
Fuck all of you. I am from Maryland and I know some of you NJ and NY assholes are not calling any other state ghetto.
Im from Silver Spring, Maryland, and I have a bunch of family in Walfdorf… two of my cousins went to school with those guys, actually … But I would’nt call Walfdorf “ghetto” exactly, but there is definetly a lot of white trash. Trashy. Maybe that’s what she means?
^^^ oops I meant to say “Waldorf” … sorry bout that.
yeah, maybe she meant dundalk. cause that place is just horrid…
I grew up in Western Maryland. Lived in B-more for a while…. yeah… ghetto be in that city! I take offense to Miss Duff saying a part of Maryland is ghetto though. Has she been to South Central LA lately? (no offense!)
You all are so stupid! Maryland is the best place in the whole world! Ever heard of Howard County?!!
You all are clearly poor because you have only named the places in MD that no one ever goes! You could never say Maryland itself is bad if you knew what you were talking about!
Ok..i live in glen burnie, md..which is an hour from waldorf. If she thinks waldorf is ghetto..i warn her not to come to jack st..stole st..46th st..or 8th st in brooklyn park,md…maryland itself..mainly baltimore..anne arundel co..nd pg county is just a big piece of shit..so yes much of maryland is ghetto..fuck it..keep it real

Anascostia is ghetto…. Temple Hills is ghetto… a lot of cities that border DC are ghetto. But Waldorf? NO
Clearly, Hilary has never been to Waldorf if she thinks it’s ghetto. The only ghetto part about Waldorf is that everyone modifies their cars, but other than that, it’s perfectly decent.
She’s obviously just some naieve little rich b!tch whose never seen a real ghetto.
I think she should bring her chihuahua to B’more for a little walkie. Dodging bullets is a great calorie burner, haha.
omg i thought that “Duff was referring to an apartment in downtown Baltimore where Duff said Madden once lived.”..i thought you were joking..haha..what the crap is wrong with her.she fired her publicist because she made a mistake.what a dumb bitch.i hate celebrities.
well check out the ghetto straight up!
ok so im from waldorf, It has it good parts it bad….. I mean how many malls do you know of permentally have an ambulance outside the food court doors b/c of shooting and stabbings( aka the st charles town center)… its was nice when benji and joel were there .. its getting bad now… ok yes b-more is bad wooopie doo.. also waldorf isn’t the size of b-more either…leave hillary alone, god like u ppl never call ur home ghetto… dumb bitches… geez just b/c the damn girl said something that u all think.. get the hell over it
Hilary needs to back off my man! Shes skanky and ugly and needs to get something done to those horse teeth!You best do as I say and back off my man!
Awwww, Joel madden….Aw. I love to just think about him….And yup….He’s pretty ghetto somtimes….But he’s still cute! You cant pick on him for that..I know you arnt but. Im just saying you know….
-Kiwi L.
Jami, Your just jelouse and she does not have horse teeth! Your just real jelouse cause she’s dateing “YOUR MAN”….Yeah right….You know almost ever girl likes him for his looks and not his music!!! You stupid Teenies!!!!

…Ghetto? My god. Where I live in Florida is more ghetto thn Waldorf.
I must say that I have been all over this world, I’m not rich nor do I think I am of a great upbringing. But I can honestly say that I look forward to leaving this place (Waldorf). It is by far the worst place I have lived. I’m not being unfairly critical,I have met some fantastic people, but few and far between. The people here are rude and would just assume spit at you rather than smile and say hello. I don’t like it. Plus, nevermind the crime wave that has picked up over the last few years. This place…If it wasn’t ghetto before…It is surly becoming ghetto now. Sorry, but it’s the truth!
ohkay seriuosly. i live 10 minutes away from waldorf. i can assure you that it is definitally the farthest thing from “ghetto” i have seen. i mean all it is is a bunch of shops +’ some run down houses, but there are definitally some upscall homes there. far from LA but also far from “ghetto”
I know those faggots Benji and Joel they didnt grow up in Waldorf first off and second off Waldorf if a a very very shitty place to grow up. it’s outside the most violent county in the united state (Prince Georges County)and a suburb of D.C. and Baltimore. I have live all over America and Waldorf is one of the shittiest places I’ve ever been. However those fake faggot fucks are indeed not from Waldorf.
Baltimore Maryland is a getto. Ive lived here 38 years. I cant afford to move. My family is here and we own property here. I hate it. I could use a bunch of politically inappropriate language but I wont. To be honest I would rather be dead than live here. Most of the people are anti social. We have typically 350 murders a year here. The nations highest syphilis rate, aids, Heroin you name it. We have people here from Africa, Israel, China and Mexico in massive numbers. Most of them cant speak decent English nor do they have decent social skills. Maryland is so bad because were next to Washington DC, the District of criminals. Its Hegelian theory in Action. Problem reaction solution. If you have money you can buy yourself out of the problem. If not consider murdering yourself before your neighbors or the government does it first. : ( I f***ing hate it here. Rather be dead.
some parts of waldorf is bad some are okay
no its not worse than bmore and d.c p.g but believe me its getting there.if your white betta get a head start and move to calvert are some where.i have seen so many fights in my school and mall and movies.it used to be nice now all i see is mexicans and blacks.
rowing up there in a big house going to the same schools as him i Know its not a getto But we did move out because the high school
HEYYY I AGREE WITH WHAT ANGIE SAID! TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT! AND BECAUSE I DATED ANGIE TOOO! FROM POF LOL LOL
