This is really shocking. And I kinda thought I was past that, in terms of iconic mag editors being unceremoniously dumped once they reach an expiration date. I know Michelle—she’s great and I’m sure she’ll do amazing things at Allure. But Linda Wells out...that’s a real blow.

Linda Wells was Allure! I know her face better than I know my own: refreshingly candid and makeup-free.

Exactly. DUCKS? It sounds like this lady is trying to start her own toddler cult.

Now that you mention it, it does seem potentially relevant. Certainly the manipulation tactics and communication style are familiar.

This is ridiculous. You can’t treat parents this way. They have the right to know what is happening at their child’s school and to bring up their concerns. The school I work at does have problems but we make sure to treat our parents well and address their concerns as best we can. There are some parents’ demands that…

Not exactly on topic, but is she a scientologist? Bragging about getting her product on Jenna Elfman and Kelly Preston (both known clams) gets her a side-eye.

I know. Deklan is a terrible name.

Is it just me, or do you stop taking someone seriously the minute they use the word ‘hubby’ in a professional email?

I mean, above you just said it was ok for Crudup to do that and now you have a problem with Danes?

This. Super douche move by Billy Crudup and that is what I always remember about this guy.

Seriously, fuck that shit. My oldest son’s father left me for my best friend when I was pregnant. It’s ages ago and life moved on, but a part of me is still hurt by that double betrayal. It was a bad, bad time in my life, and I felt so completely vulnerable and rejected. I totally get MLP’s letter.

I think we disagree about what a relationship "not working" means. I don't see it is a reason to give up or get out. Especially when your partner is 7 months pregnant.

OK, I don’t know why your POV is so precious and pristine that it cannot be disputed while the rest of us can, so I’ll just leave it that you’re focusing on entirely the wrong person and be done.

You really have a bizarre, twisted take on this. I’ve seen you make the same comments on other cheating stories. You are seriously fucked up.

Didn’t Danes and her current husband also get together while he was still in a long-term relationship with someone else?

You only have a problem w/ Daines? Wtf?

As an aside...it’s really sad how common this narrative is. A close friend saw her husband run off with his high-school crush, leaving her with pretty much full-time care of their nine month old son (despite lots of lip service from the guy about how he’s still suuuuuch a good dad, eye roll). Another mutual friend had…

His face has always seemed so douchey and punchable and this story is a big part of it. Ughhhhhh I mean good on her for venting and finding peace in a way that wasn’t just rehashing all the drama but if there’s any famous ex-bf who deserves a bit of mud-slinging it’s this guy.
