I hate depression. I’ve struggled with it all my life, and feel it has taken so much more than it’s given me. It’s hard to think about what I might be without it. I do not think it’s beautiful, and generally bristle at any hint that it is.

So, he misses his youth and a global pandemic is making an inherently difficult transition even more difficult? But when it’s over, he’ll once again be able to use his fortune to fly anywhere he wants, to see anyone he wants, any time he wants? I can certainly relate to the first part. 

I was thinking, it looks like something out of a John Waters movie. 

What is it with rich people and slippery bathrooms full of hard, sharp angles? They always look freezing, too. 

I think what causes celebrities to think their opinions are necessary, desired and valued is that they’re constantly asked for them? They’re looked to for advice on so many subjects - parenting, nutrition, exercise, marriage, psychology, spirituality, politics. I really hate to defend them, but if people have been…

This piece was specifically about how she has to pay the bills. 

I agree with Barb that Madison and Peter are terrible for each other. She’s right, but where were these histrionics when her son told her he was going on this show in the first place? That would have been the best time to put a stop to it. 

I’m not a fan of Madison, but she was as respectful as she could possibly be. I don’t know how much more she could have done without completely rolling over, which she should not be obliged to do. 

Whether she has more admirable reasons like that, or simply sees that Madison has totally different values than Peter and they obviously aren’t compatible, she is right. She’s just taking it out on Madison when the truth is it’s just a bad match, and she’s being incredibly manipulative towards Peter. Who, yes, is…

Also, re: Soon-Yi, his side of the story sounds just as bad.

“No, you totally don’t get it, she wasn’t my step-daughter! She was just a kid I knew but ignored for most of her life, while arbitrarily paying attention to some of her siblings, until she was starving for my attention. Then we started having sex!” 

As a psychotherapist I’ve done a couple of phone and Skype sessions in my career, and I find the connection to be severely lacking. I considered joining Better Health at one time, but I don’t think I will. In my experience, if you aren’t face to face, you lose something so valuable. 

Agreed, and also, whether or not it’s literally true, I think we do bring our ancestors back when we have children. Even though her dad will never see her children, he still influences them. That is one adorable baby, too. 

Stepmother took her shirt off, mother reported it. 

I’m ambivalent on this particular case, but believing children in such matters is actually massively important. They’re perfectly reliable narrators at that age, and 13-year-olds can be and often are victims of abuse by adults. 

Harry’s grandma is utterly defenseless!

Hopefully she’s only inconveniencing other rich people. I was irritated with her audacity until I realized it’s probably a high end gym. 

She said plant based, but I think she also said “I”. Her husband and kids aren’t necessarily vegan.

But Kim won’t be the one cleaning it. She doesn’t care.

Agreed. And that enormous waste of space she creates by not having any shelves in her pantry and having a separate refrigerator for each perishable good isn’t doing any good, either.

Agreed. I wouldn’t eat vegetables or have an IRA if I had reason to believe I only had one day to live.
