He’s a gross fucking pig and even if he was acquitted, he lost all his restaurants and his reputation, so that’s something.

I don’t disagree but I think you’re mixing up societal issues like police violence, with what a judge has to go with when judging the particulars of a single case that has to be judged on its own merits, not in light of societal issues at large that aren’t directly related to the case. Otherwise you’re just giving the…

I agree. But you’d think avoiding an actual trial and potentially a sentence would be an incentive? I know it wouldn’t work in all cases but I do think it would provide another alternative. 

I agree. But when an entire case hinges on witness testimony and there’s no physical evidence, what more do you have to go on other than a witness’ credibility? As for his admission, it’s probably vague enough that it can’t be used as an admission of guilt in this particular case.

Thank you. The only writer at Jez who has any business writing about the royals is Kelly Faircloth, who actually does research instead of just vomiting progressive Gen Z speak randomly onto the keyboard and hitting ‘publish’.

I wish we’d stop using this over the top language for everything. Weaponizing when all you mean to say is that one side is politically exploiting events, the way all political parties do and have done since forever... gaslighting any time anyone disagrees or pushes back on someone’s version of events...

I’m reticent to even say this because I really don’t want to imply that her doing this is a sign of anything bad anyway but I just want to highlight, even if she does exhibit signs of some degrees of, well, unwellness, that does not make a conservatorship justified. The argument here was never that she’s totally, 100%…

I’m guessing Jezebel would take issue with anything he says about Israel, unless he’s telling the Orthodox Jewish community that he’s joining the BDS movement... 

I mean, I’d defend them too if they paid me millions of dollars.

Eh, I don’t know. I’m not sure that the ultra-sanitized, bland and toothless approach to nostalgia is helping anyone.

No but I’m not surprised.

It’s not. I don’t know where Jezebel got that information but you can’t rent anything in London for a grand a month. Maybe they didn’t realize that rents in the UK are usually advertised by the week and not the month? l

That’s exactly it. Basically, it’s a job for a posh girl who wants something to do before marrying a rich dude and quitting her job altogether.

I barely know who Barker is but I know enough to know he’s miles better than all of Khloe’s exes, who basically just cheat on her and use her, except for the one who did all that and OD’d in a whore house and spent months in a coma while she took care of him. And whoever the cheating loser was that got the younger…

Um, it’s Kris Jenner who decided Kourtney’s kids shouldn’t be there, not Travis Barker or, tellingly, Kourtney who is the children’s actual fucking mother. 

This is the part that really stood out for me:

I hate Blac Chyna for creating a situation where I was on the Kardashians’ side. 

• Kaley Cuoco and the hot guy who plays Laura Linney’s brother in Ozark are apparently dating. [Instagram]

When I first heard about this I didn’t think it was a big deal because a) the context of the divorce made me question the ex’ motivation for blabbing to Finch’s workplace which just seems petty and weird and what can I say, I automatically question people who like to air dirty laundry in public, and also because I…

I can’t wait to watch this.
