I've gotten shit from a few burners about being passionate about this, but that's one of the things I find so frustrating about this situation—the fact that people are making assumptions about her victim based on nothing but her word. The word of someone who readily admits to stalking people. It's just awful, from

I vowed never to watch his show when I saw that commercial. I don't know which was the greater crime there—how sexist it was, or how incredibly tired it was. And then he confirmed my initial reaction with his support of Hale.

The review is gone now, but I saw it right before it was taken down. Blythe really didn't like the book, the review was very snark-heavy, and it caused a big kerfluffle between a defender of the book and several people who also didn't like it. Was it a nice review? Nope. The book had clearly really gotten under

She's defending her actions left and right on Twitter. Just because she writes well and can be charming doesn't mean she's acknowledged her wrong-doing. In fact, an abusive person telling the world about their bad behavior in a self-deprecating way is called gas-lighting, and it's a form of aggression against their

Blythe was not trying to "ruin her career." Do you have one single shred of evidence of that outside of Hale's claims? Blythe wrote a negative review on a book reviewing site, and defended that review there when people disagreed with it.

I'm so infuriated by people playing devil's advocate on her behalf.

Her 50 Shades recaps are some of the funniest things I've ever read.

The review was factually correct. Your hypotheticals make no sense. There's no bias involved in identifying stalking. There is no world in which what Hale did doesn't qualify as stalking. It wasn't sleuthing. It wasn't an investigation. It was stalking AND HALE HERSELF REPEATEDLY SAID IT WAS STALKING.

So great. A+. Would star the shit out of this again.

Of COURSE that loony tune would support her.

And if you think even that justifies calling someone at work repeatedly and going to their home, I've got a shitload of side-eye for you.

I am definitely all for anything that makes Jenny Trout more successful. She deserves to be a Really Big Deal.

Jenny Trout is a million times too good for Jezebel. I wish much greater success for her than that.

Blythe did NONE of the things you describe. Zero. Nada. Zilch. She reviewed books. There is no evidence anywhere that she bullied or stalked authors. There are, however, multiple authors who've made a point of saying that even though Blythe gave them scathing, one star reviews, they developed relationships of respect

It's appalling, especially because of the way she grabs onto it with glee. She's spent the past few days endlessly retweeting praise of herself.

Also, I wish more people were pointing out that Hale's article about Blythe is a direct act of aggression against her. It is nothing more than an attempt to scare her, harm her further, violate her boundaries more, and worm deeper into her brain. It's disgusting that Kathleen Hale is being allowed to essentially

I think I was going to explode if you guys didn't cover this story. Thank you for giving it the attention it deserves. Kathleen Hale is a deeply disturbed person. It's horrifying to see so many people—including writers I thought highly of—defend her actions. If she had been a man, no one would be calling her piece

Awesome. I can't think of better attire for bank robbery.

I will be undoubtedly documenting it extensively on Twitter: @saraterror

I would like to use this opportunity to say I AM GOING TO BE A MURDERY UNICORN FOR HALLOWEEN. A MURDERCORN. AND IT WILL BE THE BEST COSTUME BECAUSE IT WILL HAVE MURDERED ALL OF THE OTHER COSTUMES.
