Are there legal ramifications from this? You have an agreement and they are not living up to it.

I’m not sure if I’m misunderstanding you, but Portman openly talks about how damaging it was. She’s said in interviews that she wanted to be seen as bookish and smart as a result of the sexualization she experienced so young, including the countdown.

Please tell me she kept that fax. Not because it’s from Moby (because who cares) but because an 11-page breakup fax has got to be quite a sight.

Further: “My account is accurate, her experience is not, y u do dis, Gossip Girl?”

Not to mention Trent Reznor and Eddie Vedder who now seem like the dads who bring the best food to the PTA potluck.

Billy Corgan, though.....drowned in bitterness at 26 and never swam out of it.

RIGHT? Shouldn’t you be embarassed to admit that you dated a 20 year old when you were in your late 30s? Even if it were true, why is he saying it.

Natalie Portman was 18 in 1999 when he claims the brief romance happened.

Because if a woman accuses you of being creepy when she was barely out of childhood, the go to is to double down and insist that you almost certainly fucked. What a creep.

In his own words he seems like a douchey, creepy and pretentious asshole. And when you couple that with what appears to be a fairly delusional (at best) representation of his and Portman’s encounter, yeah, he seems like a guy who just kind of sucks.

No, it’s not a Me Too situation. Are Harvey Weinstein and Perfectly Likable Dude the only points on your spectrum?

It is absolutely astonishing that Natalie Portman got through her early career without much, much more damage/assault/incident. She was literally being marketed as a pedo-fantasy to millions of men (with one movie specifically about this, “Beautiful Girls”), and was the subject of a “legality countdown” on the…

Yes, and sleeping in a dorm room at 33? That’s another level. 

I mean, did you read the stories in the article?

Holy shit, 33 and 18? Like, I can understand 45 and 35, 35 and 25, because those might have overlap in life stages and maturity. But shit, 18 is right out of high school, not knowing what the plan is for 12 hours from now. 33 is in-career or between careers, and having a life plan for at least the next 10 years.

GRODY.

So I guess Eminem was right about his diss of Moby... who would have thunk it...

I’ve always thought Barr looked like Garfield, but this is swaying me.

Yes. That line of questioning was priceless and extremely enjoyable to listen to at my desk. I was cheering as she was pounding into the ground. Barr is such a mega ASSHAT!

Harris did a great job today making Barr admit he had not read the evidentiary documents Mueller submitted before he wrote his summary. 

The Root did a thing on her a little earlier today.

Lindsey Graham:  Wilma’s here, bae, Wilma’s here.
