Benneton, Balenciaga, Dolce and Gabbana (remember the “Slave” sandal scandal?), etc.

That wimple, though.

It’s not the only reason or anything, but the total erosion of wages and workplace security hasn’t helped. Normal people now can’t afford to whistleblow and just “quit”; they NEED that job. They’re scared to lose it. They can’t afford to have bad references and be job-hunting. I feel like we’ve regressed in the sense…

But it does, he deserves forgiveness, especially if the victim has forgiven him! They even dated years after!

Exactly what I came here to say. It’s annoying, but understandable, that a lot of people want to give Michael Jackson a pass, or at least not think about it. What on earth has Chris Brown contributed to music?  JAMES Brown I understand. Chris Brown...what?

People enabled his behavior for four years. . . .

If you are not African American I hope you are checking your implicit bias at the door.

Not only has he done nothing to warrant forgiveness, he’s been accused of other assaults since Rihanna.  Even if Kelly Rowland believes in “grace”, Brown has burned through all of his. 

Abusers, defenders of that abuse, bullies, and other monsters have destroyed and weaponized the term “forgiveness.”

Oh I agree, by Aussie standards these are easy to take.

There is no way this was an accident or oversight on their part. 

“Nicole Kidman, 55, went from playing the wife of Alexander Skarsgard, 46, to his mother in the span of three years.”

BRB, gotta go tell the dishwasher that he’s incredibly privileged because he only gets the newspaper to do crosswords between his 3 jobs.

Do you really think it’s the privileged that don’t keep up with the news?

Ok, but to be fair, by Australian standards Ryan “Fitzy” Fitzgerald and Michael “Wippa” Wipfli are not even the most out there nicknames.

Good point! I’m starting to like Kroll, but what the hell was he doing in this? He’s as out of place as John Travolta in Thin Red Line.
