The fact he’s so openly admitting it was only “verbal abuse” means he’s got much bigger skeletons in his closet. No way is a major producer like that gonna get the boot just because he’s verbally abusive; are you kidding me? That’s 80% of them. Dan Schneider has been a massive sleazeball since forever and people…

It doesn’t help that a) women are perceived as exaggerating their pain and b) there still persists a widespread sentiment that menstrual pain (along with the pain of childbirth) is essential to the experience of being a woman.

You think it only takes an hour to rehearse for a 90+ minute show? Seriously, GTFO. It’s likely 3 hours *minimum* on top of the time devoted to hair, makeup and wardrobes, meetings, plus whatever workout routine her trainer has her on to help keep up the stamina she needs to dance for 90 minutes. It’s this isn’t a…

yes, ok, maybe but 20 hours a week that she did NOT agree to work

I looked it up, and yes, it seems she “only” did about 250 shows over a four-year-period. I still maintain that if you can do that kind of work — live performance is not exactly an office job; you need that time off — you can decide whether you want to ditch the IUD.

I’m pretty sure the Doctors she is seeing shouldn’t be talking to her managers. That’s a bit odd. 

“The control he had to hurt his own daughter, he loved it. I worked seven days a week ... it was like sex trafficking. I didn’t have a credit card, cash or my passport.”

I would think if she has been in therapy for 13 years and things still are hard for her I would question if she is seeing the right person or has the right diagnoses.

“during these proceedings, Jamie Spears has sold the family home and is currently living in an RV parked in a warehouse full of Britney Spears memorabilia in her hometown of Kentwood, Louisiana.”

I was an 18 year old college freshman at the movies with my skater buddies, I’m a chic, and the preview was for Kids. We had brown bagged 40's and I am sure we were stoned and I just remember watching the trailer and thinking “Nope not ever gonna watch that movie”. To this day people are so surprised that I’ve never…

kids isn’t even larry clark’s worst film (ken park, anyone?). larry clark and harmony korrine’s obsession with teens is disturbing.

I’ve seen Kids exactly once, back when it first hit VHS and I was 14 of 15 years old. It was more effective than any anti-drug/drinking/sex PSA could have possibly been

I’ve seen Kids exactly once, back when it first hit VHS and I was 14 of 15 years old. It was more effective than any anti-drug/drinking/sex PSA could have possibly been, and it horrified me. The worst part of it, though, was that a large portion of my small town glorified it. So many underachieving white boys wanted…

Stars, they’re just like us!

Liberals and conservatives alike are hankering after a new Cold War so goddamn badly they can taste it, huh? Literally zero evidence out there in favor of the lab leak theory, but the neatest little turn in the “just asking questions” framing is that the lack of evidence becomes, in itself, evidence — after all, who…

The problem is to push the theory as fact vs a theory that should be proven. 

To a degree it’s completely beside the point - if it was a lab leak, then it was a virus that was already out there in the wild and could have gotten to humanity at any time.

(Unfortunately, either way, the time happened to be when the dumber among us had partnered with a 220-year-old mistake to put a syphilitic game…

I did go and read the piece and the comments that are posted to it. I find it interesting the number of people who are minimizing the types of comments that Tiegen made. She was not just making fun of Stodden and Lohan, she was encouraging self-harm and suicide, and she was an adult in her mid twenties when this…

Agreed.  If an attempt is being made, stand aside and let them make it.

I’ve never been a big fan of hers, and she absolutely deserved to have her comeuppance, because the things she said were horrible.
