I doubt that Rowling knowingly advocated for the casting of a wife-beater. Considering that filming for Fantastic Beasts was completed 5 months before Heard filed her divorce complaint, he would have been cast long before her abuse became public. In 2015, when the movie started filming, Depp and Heard were a…

What is it with this?? I had one of those last year. Got sort of “pre-invited” via DM to the wedding of a college friend who I’d recently reconnected with after almost 20 years. After responding (i.e. “I’m so happy for you. I’d love to come. I look forward to receiving the invitation!”) I almost immediately received a…

I’m fine with his family suffering. His wife has repeatedly tried to slut-shame the accusers while simultaneously claiming ‘marital privilege’ when questioned about his actions in deposition. His daughter is adamantly defending him despite his having thrown her under the bus when she reported being raped by Mike Tyson…

“...maybe some of it is genetic, I don’t know, I’m not smart enough to know the difference—but I do know that negotiating skills can be something that can be honed, and they can improve.”

He drugged and raped a male acquaintance he’d gone to a bar with then dropped the unconscious man at a hospital claiming the victim was drunk.

Anderson is an Executive Producer on the series.

They are mostly substances (like hyaluronic acid and collagen) that are synthetic mimics of substances already found in your skin and tissues. Like Botox, they slowly get metabolized by the body over several months. That’s why they need to be touched up/reinjected every 6 months or so.

No. An additional hate crime charge needs to meet very specific criteria establishing intent, such as the assailant having a history of posting specific threats against a specific class online (“I hate all women. I’m going to make women pay!”) or making a statement at the time of the crime (“I’m going to hit you…

Hate crime charges usually require proof of intent such as the perpetrator yelling a racial, ethnic or homophobic slur prior to or during the attack. The police may very well believe that the reason (or even part of the reason) the accused chose these women was because they were dressed in a way that made it apparent…

And now I’m having a late 80s Tone Loc flashback and singing “Funky duodena” in my head, so thanks for that.

It was remarkably softball considering all the build-up. Heavily edited with the “hard-hitting interview” boiling down to:
Kelly: “You say incendiary things!”
Jones: “Well, I just repeat what people are saying. So that makes it news, right?”
Kelly: “Oh. Okay, then. How does my lighting look?”

Ew. He looks like he’d struggle to benchpress a kitten.

Is that a thing people do? Because I know a whole lot of people who have grandfathers who were in WWII and they just say “Grandpa”. I know of no-one that calls their grandfather a weird infantilizing nickname. I get the sense this woman’s sample size consists of her three awful sorority sisters who spend a lot of time…

This is particularly bad timing for Banks considering Spielberg is in the middle of directing Meryl Streep in a biopic of Katherine Graham. Oops.

In my experience, when one is usually getting shit-faced drunk and possibly hooking up with people one tends to be at a bar/party/gathering, usually with friends or, occasionally, concerned strangers/bartender(s) who often will say things like “Are you good?” or even “Let’s get you a cab.”

For years Demi was touting a VERY restricted ‘health’ diet so I’m suspecting this may be due less to stress than to poor nutrition.

If this is something you feel you have to say to other people about yourself you are wholly inauthentic and deeply aware of it.

No, because reality shows aren’t documentaries. While documentary filmmakers try to avoid influencing the events they are recording, reality shows are somewhat scripted and events are actively influenced by the producers to increase entertainment value.

So it seems DeMario Jackson’s version is that he was performing oral sex on Olympios in the pool while cameras were rolling but was too drunk for intercourse.

Just for context, it’s not easy to convince a court to legally separate you from your parent(s). And money doesn’t hold much sway in the process. Courts are loathe to allow a teen to live independently and require substantial evidence of real wrongdoing and abuse rather than claims that “Mom’s a real meanie and she’s…
