She is right. Praise creative people for their specific talent. Engage with what they produce and move on. They are not your friends, you are not owed access to their lives and they don’t care about you. 

Funny how, because of this one instance, the knives are out for Jezebel previously pointing out that missing women of color often don’t receive adequate coverage in the media or concern from authorities. Yes, the current crop of writers leaves a lot to be desired, but it's not a lie to point out that black, brown, and…

It’s almost as if he’s running a shitty campaign on purpose so he can be the Florida meth trailer park version of the Kennedys.

Probably because this is going to have devastating consequences for the next black woman who actually goes missing. 

Whole thing is massively stupid - stupid behavior by Doja Cat getting shitty about her fans’ name for themselves, even more stupid response from those fans showing entitlement over her music and success (they should mock her for being Colonel Tom Parker-ed by Doctor Luke).

There was an episode(s) where she couldn’t buy her apartment because she spent too much money on designer fashion, and rather than learn a lesson, she got money from her friend to make a down payment.

The portrayal of money has always been an issue with this show.

Yeah, if Monica’s grandmother owned it, it was probably super affordable (relatively!) back in, what, the 50s or 60s? Didn’t Peggy on Mad Men buy an entire building in the west village working as a copy writer? Woulda been around the same time as Monica’s grandmother probably.

IIRC that’s one of the main reasons why his X.com thing failed while at PayPal. Focus groups hated it and thought it was definitely associated with porn. Considering he named a room “s3Xy,” I can’t really give him the benefit of the doubt that he had no idea.

AND ugh, why would you discard the well name brand of the company you bought? He is such a moron.

It’s a corporate snuff film.

jesus jackrabbit christ, this is the first I am hearing of this rebrand. My phone hasn’t updated yet. It’s SO WEIRD how he thinks “X” still has some edge or cachet like this is 1993 instead of 2023. Didn’t he also saddle a kid with some version of X-something?
ALSO: That logo reminds me of the old Xerox logo or some…

That whole thing looks and sounds like porn. 

He just likes screwing with people.

The rich did get much richer during the pandemic, so it shouldn’t be surprising that any of them would be affected by it.

Seriously, that was such an unnecessarily bitchy take to include. The staff were all so sincerely worried about her but trying to keep on trucking regardless while ALSO helping with efforts to find her. Plus they’ve been attacked online for having any association with the case. While my money is on Russell having…

The author also conveniently left out the bit about the spa being harassed due to its affiliation with the so-called “victim”:

I read a rumor somewhere that the boyfriend was cheating on her and this was some misguided attempt at winning back his affections? No idea if it’s true but it might explain why he’s still sticking up for her?

Im surprised a missing black woman in friggin Alabama got any national coverage at all.  My guess why she did this was maybe some kinda manic episode or psychotic break. Explains why she was so sloppy. 

I’m sure having to deal with the busiest day of the week at your job, while also having to deal with the fact that your coworker committed a disgusting and heinous crime, would be “really devastating” for all the employees. Not sure why you’re coming for the guy who owns a spa that formerly employed someone everyone…
