And of course it’s staged. That’s what photoshoots are.

It’s Annie Liebovitz. No one’s pretending Brad took it on his iPhone 4.

We only have third-hand media reports about his continued violent behavior. Maybe they’re true, maybe they’re not—we have no way of knowing. Also, the only person Penn owes an apology to is Madonna. Not you, not me, not the public at large. If they are still on speaking terms, it seems like she has forgiven him.

please don’t waste your time or energy on these people. they think that being right about this particular situation excuses their nasty hypocritical behavior.

Thank you for saying this. Some people, for all their self imagined superiority are really lacking when it comes to coming off as decent people. It's really not hard to do, you just have to want to be somewhat respectful of others, even if you don't agree with them or if you know they're wrong.

yeah,that was nasty of her. i disagree with your opinions but i don’t think that you’re an idiot—just uninformed about domestic abuse and what he did to madonna.

Okay sweetheart you win too. I know that's all people ever want on the Internet is to win. There, I concede.

I know you can't see my life over the Internet but I work with tons of European people who use this all the time, certainly not in any patronizing way. I don't intend for it that way. But I can't make you see it differently and that's fine too.

I'm okay with losing. You can't win them all. But why are you so bothered. Did I offend you?

Look my dear, I’m not going to tell you how to respond to others. I heard what you had to say, but I will respond as I see fit. BTW I don't agree that it's worst. I believe that's a matter of opinion.

I’m at work, can’t google those things from this location. If there is a police report that changes my opinion. Thanks!: )

Were there police reports? Is this actually documented... or hearsay? Documented by people other than anonymous blind item sources, I mean.

I have to admit, witnessing you get so angry and upset over something that didn’t even happen to you, that is only based on things you have read is very amusing. But I really doubt many people personally enjoy you, they would have to be masochists.

Well, you have succeeded in the no dignity department.

Well fuck, you might be a decent human being, that others enjoy and understands that not everyone is going to view every single thing the same way you do. This is a world with billions of people on it. Right or wrong people will agree with you on some days and not others. It's called life. You're just mean for the…

I do understand BDSM, and I think that we have no facts from either participant in that event, just third party sources, and I know that there are lots of fucking scenes I’ve been a part of that could look horrific if described by third parties to the press. Did he break her consent boundaries? What was the truth of…

That section of the book is the Mail piece (it must have been an excerpt) which, to me, seriously undermines its credibility. The source notes for that chapter aren’t showing as part of the Google-books preview. If the police report is publically accessible, I don’t know why no journalist has reported on it other than…

It’s part of a Vogue shoot. I don’t think that anyone’s trying to act like it’s a candid pic.
