So there were no boys your own age who were respectful? That’s sad.

My brother couldn’t understand why 17 year old me was messing around with a balding 31 year old with three kids.

So I’ve never told this to anyone. But I remember being leered at by construction workers when I was 13. A child. I was uncomfortable, but I kind of *secretly* liked the attention because no boys at school ever noticed me. Then I felt guilty about liking it. Then learned to not trust my feelings at all because they…

It’s a good listen. One of the points I really liked is where she said that at age 12 she was reading a book (I think it might’ve been Enola Holmes) thinking about it as a film, and she thought ‘I probably couldn’t play this part, so I’ll just be a Producer of the film and let someone else play it’.

Yeah, that’s always been fucking gross. I can’t believe there are people who admit to this shit.

It’s gross. Hell I think Natalie Portman’s entire career spring boarded off of being an underaged sex symbol...

I get your point, but I would argue they won’t exactly do anything to get that kid born. None of these laws ever seems to mention the fathers who helped create these fetuses. They don’t seem to be on the hook for any of it. No mention of helping to pay for prenatal care or child support and most definitely no mention…

They’ll do anything to get that kid born, but after that they don’t care. It’s so patently obvious. And yes it is about control and punishment.

This is going to be the strategy in any state that does this. Arrest a woman for any abortion related charges. Publicize that arrest but release her considering its not against the law just yet. And then let a private citizen sue her... Even if Roe v Wade isn’t overturned, we know it basically has a 6 month…

Sadly we’re going to be hearing a lot more stories like this in the years to come. Think about how many women are now going to avoid going to the hospital for fear of the staff calling the cops. Meanwhile, Republicans voted against the child tax credit. They do not care about children. All they care about is using the…

Man I’d really like to get hold of the nurse (and you KNOW it was a nurse) who listened to the miscarrying woman pour out her tale of woe and then just about broke her neck getting to a phone. Someone needs a little discussion about responsible medical care, and maybe a slap for good measure.

If those hospital staff did indeed report her to the authorities, they and the hospital need an enormous HIPAA investigation mounted against them, and whoever was involved in it need to have their licenses permanently revoked.  

HIPAA violation anyone?

Outrageous, unjust, illegal.

Lot of “whataboutism” going on in this article that in no way actually addressed the assault Smith committed on live television and the response by the organization hosting the show, about which this article is ostensibly titled.

I don’t think this means he is banned from being nominated/winning an Oscar. The language states he can’t attend events:

Because what says thanks, mom, better than a few hundred thousand Benjamins?

YEP. Especially because Britney eventually refused to work as a protest against the conservatorship - she could very justifiably say it wouldn’t be financially wise to spend that kind of money when she doesn’t have an income other than royalties, so selling properties is the more viable path.

Well it sound like Britney owns the house, so maybe she should start collecting rent.

As Britney’s lawyer says, I can’t see any possible reasonable grounds for this demand from a legal perspective. This looks like chancing it, as we say in the UK. She seems to be just hoping Britney will decide it’s not worth the hassle. Pretty outrageous.
