Uh, you totally missed the real story.

For more information and to help his ex-girlfriend, there’s a GoFundMe page started for her that’s doing well. Some people are commenting that they’re surprised he didn’t try to light her on fire as well - he did. The Memphis community is talking about this extensively and rallying behind the woman he abused.

He talks about 2012 like it was the way-back days of yore. As if we had all just crawled out of the cave and women just won the right to vote. IT WAS 2012! Five years ago. He’s telling us he didn’t have any qualms about posting an exploitative picture in 2012 but suddenly 24 months later in 2014 he’s achieved moral…

Yeah. I really cannot stand Rich. My only hope here is that her complimenting him on his preparedness was shade, because that is how I read it. I read this entire article making a :/ face as I was fully aware that he had published her upskirt pics and basically caused the entire Matt Lauer fiasco. Then he goes on to…

I had a very similar thought— “This whole interview reads like a 50th high-school reunion, where the bully finally sits down and speaks to the bullied girl, and admits he did something kinda crappy a long time ago, but we’re cool now, right?”

We’re private citizens, we’re just internet randos— we’re allowed to hate and love anyone we goddamn well want to, for any/ all/ no reasons. But when you drag your personal little 8th-grade-mean-girl grievances into the public arena under a big banner, and then proceed to make a meal of it for a couple years in a row,…

I completely agree. Like I don’t want to shit all over someone who’s obviously trying, but this whole thing was very surface-level, stopping just short of the real, uncomfortable work that is required to actually grow in a situation like this. The author talks about accountability but then also spends a decent amount…

It’s similar to rape apologists. Like, “Sorry, I did this terrible, dehumanizing thing that affected you in ways I can’t even imagine, I’m sure you’ve thought about it a lot since I did it, but I’m just thinking about it for the first time right now, and realizing it was a bad thing to do. I’m so proud of how far I’ve…

We definitely were aware it was wrong in the early 2000s when it was Britney Spears or Lindsey Lohan or Paris Hilton. I don’t believe for a minute that anyone just wasn’t aware that posting pictures of someone’s exposed genitals when they haven’t agreed to having the photo taken or shared is wrong. It doesn’t take an…

That was weird. I also found it strange that the author tries to justify (at least a little bit) posting the invasive photograph in 2012 by saying that we as a culture didn’t wake up to how horrible stuff like this was until 2014. Ummmm, what? No, I’m pretty sure most of us knew well before then that it’s not OK to…

“Anne Hathaway was under no obligation to talk to me—in fact, given her feelings about Jezebel, she had good reason not to”

Man, you guys owe this woman a 50-page apology. I don’t know why anybody hates her— someone didn’t like the sincerity level of a speech she gave and that’s why so many years of public abuse and loathing? Or something? But she sounds 10x smarter & more self-aware & more gracious than any writer here, in any event.

Yeah, that was a WTF? comment as far as I’m concerned. Even were it true, “Estuary English” is about as easily an understood English accent outside of Received Pronunciation as any you’ll find. Estuary English is basically what we hear from the average Brit over here, anyway.

Hmmm, I think society might actually be pretty good at this whole celebrating pregnant women thing.

Yeah, I was going to say. I lived in England for years, every black brit I met had the same dialect as any other British person in relation to their upbringing, and the generalization that the majority of black British people were raised in council flat housing/poverty is absolutely absurd and offensive.

You are perpetuating a stereotype. Adele may speak Estuary English. David Oleyowo and Thandie Newton do not.

Can we all applaud and celebrate that he used landscape mode?
