I think if Olivia Jade has taught us anything, it’s that extremely wealthy young women don’t have to go to college if they aren’t into it.

Paris Jackson gets so much hate from all sides. People who hate her dad take it out on her. Her dad’s fans hate her for not defending him publicly, which isn’t her job. I wonder how much a girl can take. 

What was the endgame for Lori Loughlin? I assume she figured she could just continue paying people off to complete her daughters’ work? Olivia Jade couldn’t finish a college application - how did her parents expect she would do when faced with actual course work? I get grade inflation and all that jazz, but I believe…

She actually did her Master’s studies at LSE, in social psychology. I was also a postgraduate in the UK at the time and recall there being a big to-do about it. But she was a serious student and spent most of her time studying in the library, much to the chagrin of the thirsty tabloids.

If my dog doesn’t like you, I’m pretty sure I won’t like you.

You and me both, lady. You and me both. 

Gah, you’re right, I’m fixing. I should have just sold highlighter palettes.

Yes she did. She went to Oxford or Cambridge after getting a bachelor's. She has stated multiple times all the other jobs she applied for and didn't get.

Let’s also note that shitty Ken Starr got to go on and have a career that included writing a letter of recommendation for a confessed pedophile, representing Jeffrey Epstein - another sexual predator pedophile, and fostering an environment of sexual assault at Baylor and CNN is more than happy to have him on and get…

Not only in a position of power, man infamous for his charisma and womanizing. It would be very hard for most people, especially young and inexperienced ones, to put up resistance.

as the world finally catches up to the fact that she was a young intern who made a mistake was taken advantage of by an old white man in a position of power.

And that’s the problem. She tried to move on and do something different, but she couldn’t because that’s what she was known for. He continued to be very successful on the speaking circuit and still polled well with women. He got to have a life. She didn't.

She has far more grace than I could ever imagine having in her situation. I imagine the bullshit will more or less persist until her eventual obituary, which of course will reference Clinton.

I really admire her. That’s not to say that what she did when she was 24 wasn’t wrong and a little dumb—but people are finally attuned to how ludicrously unbalanced the power dynamics were in the Clinton scandal. She is still the butt of SO many jokes. I wonder how many married men who’ve slept with their subordinates…

The weirdest thing about all of this is that none of these kids needed to go to school or do anything for the rest of their lives.

That one baffles me, since not only is she claiming that she would’ve been accepted at USC if not for this bribery scam (possible! Not likely or provable, yet possible), but also saying that had she been accepted to USC, she would’ve gone there instead of Stanford. Don’t get me wrong, USC is a good school, but unless…

Exactly.  Did they control for smoking?  What about obesity?  Diabetes? 

Based on the women over 50 I’ve been around who drink diet coke, I really doubt a causal relationship, as opposed to it being that the type of women over 50 who drink diet coke are also the women over 50 who have many other factors that are leading them to be more likely to have a stroke or heart attack.

May we suggest a refreshing seltzer water?

Understanding full well that the plural of “anecdote” is not “data”, I’ll offer this: I was a 12-can-a-day Diet Coke addict until just after my 37th birthday, when I had a stroke.
