So all stepmothers are evil then? Doesn’t sound sexist at all!

I want to be Team Diana, but you’re right. If a man that age had done this to a woman in his family, no one here would be laughing. Though I too have awful relatives I fantasize about chucking down the stairs...

This sounds pretty violent and horrible. Why are we treating it as a lighthearted anecdote? Did I miss something?

“the ‘Bad At Love’ songstress put her arm around the American Horror Story star’s waste [sic]”

valid point — yesterday I watch this season first 4 episodes (didn’t get selected for jury duty - spikes imaginary football) to see if I could pinpoint when it all went sooooo off the rails. I think the real thing is that some of these ladies have legitimate off screen relationships which is why some of their behavior…

so you’re saying I need to go to a different website for non-garbage succession posts?

They intentionally ignore Carli B’s worst tendencies.

The last time the Basketball Wives tag was used was nearly five years ago. The show isn’t even on Jez’s radar, and there’s no reason for them to be covering this story at all, other than to gawk at these black women acting like fools.

I’ve complained about this for years. It’s really Gross for a man to be commenting on women, it’s especially gross when it’s a white guy commenting on women of color. But people say, he’s gay, so he’s a minority or some BS. He’s a misogynist. Period. 

Agreed. Rich cannot do a deep dive on this because he’s simply ill equipped. He’d need a translator to understand the subtle violence and politics of race among women who identify as part of the African diaspora and those adjacent.

Thanks for the link. The most shocking thing to me is that King George V’s doctor euthanized him so that the announcement could be made in the morning papers and not the “less appropriate” evening journals! (And also to end his suffering, I suppose.)

The granular questions about the inborn cultural entitlement of someone who (sometimes, seemingly) identifies as Afro-Latina notwithstanding

I mean the show isn't called "independent wives" it's kind of right there in the title isnti it?
