My first encounter with Vivienne Westwood was when I encountered these impossibly hip young Brit dudes sporting her “bondage” clothing in London pubs. I was quite a bit younger then and the clothing completely entranced me; I’d never seen fashion so strange, so layered with subversive meaning.

I always assumed it would be shut down to some sort of out-of-control infection sweeping through the “contestants.”

No, unfortunately that’s not the law. Couple of things:

The thought of a sober person showing up and telling two drunk humpers they are too torched to consent is a real buzzkill.

I guess I’d like to say that if two drunk people fuck and then later cant remember it/regret it, then nobody. Unless a producer suddenly flies into the room screaming about consent.

right, because it’s not like she has a history of drunkenly throwing herself at men while obliterated........

Yup. Men also get blackout drunk, not just women. We don’t know what happened, so we can’t assume he knowingly took advantage of her.

This story annoys me because now I feel sorry for Corrine and DeMario; two of the least likable people in the entire franchise. I mean obviously each individual is responsible for how much they drink but I have no doubt an empty glass was quickly filled and nonsense was highly encouraged. People with cameras,…

I hate that all of this seems to only focus on her as if she is the only victim here.

This. It’s also the one aspect of consent I’ve always struggled with: when both people are shit faced, who is responsible? Neither person was in control of their behavior. DeMario’s narrative is that she sat on his face, not that he forced himself on her.

So DeMario says he was too drunk to consent, and Corinne says she was too drunk to consent.

I’m getting the impression both were too drunk to know what they were doing, so producers not stepping in and breaking them up right then and there could be an issue for both contestants.

I mean, a long time ago I got hired for a job I was totally unqualified for...and yes, it was some the hardest I’ve worked in my life. And I STILL sucked at it, and eventually got fired. Because I wasn’t qualified to do the work the job demanded. So, just because you’re “working really hard” doesn’t mean you’re…

Ivanka’s “job”: Show up somewhere dressed expensively, look concerned/understanding, nod, mention the word “women”, and the day’s work is done!

“Big bold things” - like yank health care away from over 20 million Americans, pull out of the Paris Accords, permanently damage our standing as world leaders, alienate our allies and give comfort to our enemies?

Batting 1000 there, Princess.

I have no opinion on his gayness or otherwise but the murder thing? I have to shamefacedly admit that for me Spacey IS one of those actors who if it ever comes out that the reason he’s so eerily convincing at playing murderous sociopaths is because one day he’s suddenly arrested in relation to a string of cold case…

Oh no, he’s gay...VERY gay. I know way too many people from Montclair who have slept with him.

lol. He is definitely gay. It’s been an industry “secret” for years and years.
He likes them younger. He hit on my best (male) friend repeatedly.

The persistent rumor isn’t that he likes them too young as much as too straight and coerced. Like, if you’re a guy working on the House of Cards set and Spacey wants you, you’ll be fired if you don’t put out. He apparently did this a lot at The Old Vic as well.

There are much more damning rumours about Kevin Spacey than just whether he likes men or women. Specifically, there have been rumours for years that he is quite predatory and likes ‘em young. Too young. So maybe he’s been cagey about it all these years b/c if he keeps us guessing, he’s hoping we’ll all just guess, “Oh…
