What do you mean? How can you not help but see the rigorous attacks on the British Class system and social norms in her works about Upper-Class people marrying slightly more or less Upper-Class people.

there’s only so many times one can enjoy watching something that effectively boils down to the negotiation of property rights of Georgian England, but with added “swooning”

This is not shade or a dig, but I can’t believe KK is only 33. That means she was young AF in all my favorite movies of hers, which are all of her movies.

“I hug all the female artists and the male artists,”

because of his role within his church.

Many would say that it was disrespectful to wear a floor length sequined dress to a funeral, but this was Aretha’s funeral and I think she would like for everyone to wear what makes them feel fabulous.  

“Men of the Cloth" of every religion and denomination are some of the skeeviest motherfuckers around, almost without exception. What do you expect from conmen who make their living off the backs of the gullible?

I’d bet he’s been “too friendly” a few thousand times.

Watching that clip lastnight made me ENRAGED. All women have been there. We've all experienced groping in a public place. We've all tried to ignore it because we didn't want to be "that woman" who called out the dude in front of everybody, ruining the vibe. We have all been there. He's a piece of shit. 

“I hug all the female artists and the male artists”

It really pisses me off that of all the pastors who would have been proud to officiate Aretha Franklin’s funeral, this is the one who got that honor. This conduct really spits on her legacy. And I would still feel that way even if I somehow knew that Aretha herself would have excused this.

That is an ESPECIALLY bad apology after the “Taco Bell” non-joke. WTF

He is probably used to getting away with behaving like that because of his role within his church. People probably don’t DARE question his behavior. She is young and attractive, and much smaller than he is physically - he thought he had a right to put hands on her.

Come on, telling someone their name sounds like a menu item is NEVER acceptable; specifying “a Taco Bell menu item” is racist af whether you’re referring to someone who is latinx or not.

She’s not, but I know people with that last name that are. I think that was the point. 

Fuck this guy. Fuck him, fuck him, fuck him. He knew exactly what he was doing. I get hugged all the time and somehow women’s hands never end up on my breasts(or buttocks), even “accidentally”

I don’t know much about this bishop but I do know a lot about churches and my husband and I concluded that this is probably how he acts all the time, both the questionable ‘jokes’ and overly touchy/gropy in his own church (which Wikipedia tells me is a megachurch and that he basically inherited his position there from…

You can literally see her pulling against his hand the whole time, clearly trying to create some separation between the two of them. I’m pretty sure he didn’t have any of his male guests in that kind of iron grip.

He knew exactly what he was doing.  What an asshole!

“Maybe I crossed the border” You don’t say! Seriously, this is a bad apology.
