I’m sure there was a thought out comment here, but what you posted is pretty much what I’m thinking.

As a business owner myself, there is nothing I can hate on about this. I’m getting a bit older (36 years) and as my business has grown I have found lots of inspiration in other women that run their own Shit and do it well.

What are the profits? Revenue is meaningless without knowing the margins or ROI.

Not just clothing and shoes! Her bedlinens are FAB!

But he’s a dude! Why should anyone question his intentions!?! This whole thing is so disheartening. He should spend his life in prison and she needs to be honored beyond her privates being paraded in court.

Same here. I have a pair of her (god forgive me) jeggings and they fit and look great! The pricing is great too although it’s all probably made by children.

Even though I don’t own anything by Jessica Simpson, it feels like whenever I’m browsing Macys or one of those sites I see a bunch of things that I think are really cute, and then I look at the brand name, and it’s Jessica Simpson. It always catches me by surprise.

and so weirdly comfortable! Some of my craziest heels are J. Simps and I can wear them all night.

The defence claimed it was a “tear” caused by digital penetration. Which- I just can’t even fathom.

I’m actually pretty confused, because multiple people in the comments with more background knowledge on the case is saying the defense wasn’t arguing that a knife was used, but they were arguing it was consensual. The last Jezebel article on this, linked in the above article, says the defense claimed there was no…

Thank you SO MUCH for covering this story. I know you guys don't touch a whole lot on Canadian content, but this is so seriously fucked up, and goes hand-in-hand with the systemic mistreatment of First Nations Women in Canada

I was just being a nit picky asshole anyways. But yes, I can see how that might confuse.

I dislike how people think vaginas are not actually part of our bodies. Like somehow a cut or bruising on the face means so much more than a cut or bruising on your cervix.

An honest mistake during consensual sex is accidentally getting a wristwatch tangled in hair, or perhaps a penis hitting a cervix. An honest mistake during consensual sex does NOT result in an 11 cm vaginal wound and a person bleeding to death. I feel as though this should be common sense.

The miriad of excuses available for men who commit crimes against women is shameful, shocking and terrifying. The only thing more terrifying is that when a woman is accused of a crime against a man she is crazy, a bunny boiler; there are so many reasons to excuse a man of a crime against a woman and probably the same…

It is beyond bizarre and the jury obviously made a terrible decision. This man should be in jail for the rest of his life.

After he stabs her in the vagina with a knife!!!!

This is baffling. The only stories I’ve read where women die of vaginal bleeding is after they’ve been gang raped. How are they arguing that this happened after PIV sex, I just...can’t.

Am I the only one terrified by the fact that someone can literally fuck you to death and just because it’s presumed to be consensual, it’s considered ok?

I guess “rough sex” is the “stand your ground” for sexual-related deaths.
