Because we have nothing better to do with our time, this website’s crack staff spent the weekend pouring through thousands of text messages belonging to barbecue heiress Candace Bessinger –

the erstwhile lover of former S.C. Rep. Thad Viers (and several other gents, it would appear). As we noted previously, Bessinger’s text messages (all 4,182 of them) are a treasure trove of

information – providing the kind of detail which rarely sees the light of day. Not only are we privy to all sorts of mundane details (i.e. Bessinger complaining about the cable guy being

late) and personal problems (i.e. Bessinger acknowledging her use of Adderral to stay awake on the job), they are also loaded with newsworthy items – like Bessinger’s intimate relationship

with a political donor of one of Viers’ political rivals. But the gist of the texts is Bessinger and Viers’ toxic relationship … Today, in the first of what we hope will be several

installments of “Thad and Candy’s Text Tales,” we examine a conversation between Viers and Bessinger that took place in mid-May 2011 – seven months before Viers was arrested and charged with

stalking Bessigner. In it, the former lovers argue over repayment of a $12,000 loan Viers gave to Bessinger – and discuss whether they will ever be able to get back together again. Enjoy …

_Candace: Did you call?_ _Thad: Yes._ _Candace: I was in chiropractor. what did u need?_ _Thad: Just need to touch base on some items. U r busy._ _Candace: I mean im working, but what’s up?

got stuff I need rehang._ _Thad: Ok._ After a break in the conversation – during which Bessinger tells a girlfriend she is “back on adderrall and cig wagon” because she had “2 major trials”

that week – the dialogue between the two lovers picks back up … _Candace: I don’t want u to think im giving u run around about paying u due to checks not arriving. I though they would have

arrived and u could just write what checks urself in amt i text u but i can certainly just give u cash to avoid further confrontation … Lmk and i can just drop cash off at conway office on

monday or text me acct num._ _Thad: Would you like to go to pf changs and see pirates of the carribean?_ _Candace: Um…. where is this coming from?_ _Thad: A nice guy. Who kinda misses a

now. If you cant handle that then maybe we shouldnt meet up_ _Thad: What?_ _Candace: Im sorry i never meant to hurt u. I do love u and im very thankful for u. I want u to find someone who

truly deserves all u have to offer._ _Thad: I want to be with you u just can’t treat me like that. We both have needs and mine is affection and kindness …_ We’ll pick up the conversation

again soon … Oh, and if you think Viers is syrupy, wait until you read the texts from Chris Johnston – the Andre Bauer donor Bessinger was allegedly seeing on the side. Stay tuned … ***
