Don’t know about the money running out part but he definitely seems to have done that.

And they really want to gloss over the fact that Oher tried to extort the family for 15m when his football money started to run out.

“What they’re doing here is trying to take the stink off their movie, and some nice platitudes about human kindness aren’t going to cut it.”

By only publishing Oher’s point of view today, the Root ignores the charge against Oher that he threatened to tell his “truth” about the family that helped him if they didn’t pay him a huge bribe. If they can document that he demanded money or he would ruin their reputation, he appears to be more of bad guy than a…

So...grievous industry starts thriving, crackers are all deemed evil, and here comes yet another example revisionist history.

This guy’s credibility is zero at this point. In 2011 he wrote a book which told a completely different story. I can’t believe he would stoop so low just to try and sell his new book. 

Youtube drama pissing matches are just stupid.

His initial response of “well ACTUALLY we didn’t sell it, we auctioned it” was so spectacularly stupid and ill-advised that it made me actually believe him that he’s doing too much work to actually function.  

Linus consistently painting himself as a victim in his responses is kind of tiring, too. He’s got that sad-faced woe-is-me schtick down cold.

The fact that the apology video was an EDITED video speaks volumes. Not only does Linus not understand GN’s criticisms (ethics/rushing inaccurate videos for a bottom line), but this mindset is shared by the writers, the editors, and the performers. Let’s be real, 100% this video was a performance. All this could have…

He didnt win an Oscar. 

Not to mention Oher himself claims to have only recently found out. If he himself wasn’t aware and it’s literally him and his life, I’m not sure how actress lady was supposed to know fourteen years ago.

Last week the internet was claiming Jennifer Aniston was a racist because she wasn’t dialed into black church culture where using antisemitic tropes is totally not racist because they are part of black church culture. Not sure how that is any different than claiming the confederate flag is not racist because it’s part…

I don’t get why the author is trying to call into doubt whether or not Sandra Bullock knew about this situation. How would she know? She was given a script, and probably met the woman she pretended to be a few times in controlled situations where that woman would have been pretending to be great.

It is absolutely not an exaggeration to say she had nothing to do with this.  She got a script, was given a role, and performed it well.  Why assume otherwise without a shred of evidence?  What exactly did you learn as a student of journalism?

Seriously, that was such an unnecessarily bitchy take to include. The staff were all so sincerely worried about her but trying to keep on trucking regardless while ALSO helping with efforts to find her. Plus they’ve been attacked online for having any association with the case. While my money is on Russell having…

Wait, you didn’t know that black women are physically incapable of committing evil and/or stupid acts? Psh... and you call yourself a Jezebel reader.

I mean look, in all of this Jezebel had to try and find a different bad guy than Russells. Just like Santa just is ... white, Russells just ... checks too many boxes for them to point out that she’s the obvious bad guy here even after the truth comes out. Like unless she’s gone full MAGA-dumbass like Diamond and Foxx…

The small business owner was asked a question by a journalist (you should look up what that is!) and answered it. He wasn’t pushing himself forward, he didn’t say or imply he was most affected by it. In fact, he didn’t use the first person singular at all in the bits you quoted.
