I’ve worked on behalf of many women that survived or were working hard to survive domestic violence. It really, really worries me that Mel B dissolved the restraining order against her husband. Really worries me.

Actually, no. In a nod to diversity, he is the loser kid of non-celebrity rich people from Long Island.

13-17 year olds don’t have a completely developed emotional system for dealing with relationships. That’s why we have laws to protect them from adult predators. She’s coming from a fucked up place, but she got into it as a child, and couldn’t figure out how to get out of it as an adult.

I want to be your friend. I like the cups. I like robins egg blue, and I already have a theme going in my house of “cups that look disposable, but aren’t “My breakfast would be fancy AF

Does it give her a pass? I just read a long, damning expose of her behaviour that makes it almost impossible to think of her as anything but an abuser. It doesn’t seem like charges have been filed, however.

The fact that she was 13 when she started might have something to do with it.

I got this for my bffs husband as an inside joke. It’s a ceramic red solo cup! We like to get each other tacky zodiac mugs too!

Really only seems a few steps removed from this story. https://www.google.com/amp/nypost.com/2017/07/20/woman-jailed-for-wearing-fake-penis-tricking-friend-into-sex/amp/

I don’t work at Tiffanys.

She really doesn’t seem to address the abuse and coercing these women to send naked pictures. A lot of “I felt trapped” but not a lot of “I was really shitty to these people for no discernable reason.”. The deceit isn’t the worst of her actions, but it’s the only one she’s addressing.

I know what you mean. This is very triggering for me too but when I found out he was found guilty, I literally screamed in joy. One rape victims justice is all our justice. We are together in this. Peace and love.

Whatever your journey is, I wish you continued peace and healing. You deserve your peace, and fuck anyone if they try to take any part of that away from you.

Meh, it’s okay. “They’re Real” by Benefit is also okay. I’ll always just go right back to good old $5 “Great Lash,” especially now that they have the big brush.

I’ve kind of avoided this story for triggering personal reasons, so this is the first time I’ve read it. I’m crying for what that girl and her family have been put through. I hope they find peace and healing.

so, so, so NOT BINGO. everyone is running to defend themselves for plugging their ears and not showing one shred of doubt where there was damn good reason to be suspicious. TEAM JEZEBEL ALL THE WAY ON THIS ONE.

Bingo.

I will not condemn a man on rumor alone.

I don’t even think it was malicious. Just, “FUCK MAN WHY ARE PEOPLE YELLING AT ME ABOUT THIS? WHAT, JEZEBEL SAID WHAT NOW? FUCK YOU JEZEBEL”. A totally understandable response when you’re under fire.

I’m not sure why you’re bringing up the Washington Post? The New York Times broke the story earlier this morning — two different cities, two completley different media outlets.
