So a grown single man and a grown single woman dating each other is disapproved of by the Kardashians because it makes things uncomfortable for the teenage girl who started dating a *not single* grown man at age seventeen and has been financially supporting him ever since?

Considering certain television and magazine interviews, I wouldn’t call them a supportive family. Last I checked Kim told a mag that Rob’s fat and he smokes weed all day, adding that, “Maybe if he smoked meth he wouldn’t be so fat...”

If I were him, I would hate his family too. Notice how they’re trying to throw Black Chyna under the bus and turn her into some scheming temptress taking advantage of poor Rob. Yet they treat him like shit. His own mother didn’t come to visit him after he was rushed to the hospital. Kim kicked him out of her wedding…

wouldn’t it be reasonable to say that his weight gain wouldn’t be so devastating to him if his family wasn’t focused so much on their appearance? i’m not super well versed on the kardashians but i’m pretty sure his sisters were critical (not supportive) of his weight. willing to admit i might be wrong on that point

This is the beginning of his exit strategy. He never intended to get this far and is desperate for an excuse to flounce out.

Presumably because there might still be sane people left alive in the republican wasteland who will find his refusal to participate in a debate based on his personal interactions with a moderator to be an ill omen towards becoming a president expected to deal with foreign leaders.

It’s beyond crazy that we the readers have to look at the comment sections to get actual truth AND/OR go look up the details of the case on our own because the so called writers here in Gawker Universe are unwilling to be ethical and accurate in their writings.

I doubt you will get an answer because 99% of the people upset about this don’t even know what was actually said.

FINALLY! Some sense. I hate that I had to scroll this far down for it. If the people in these comments want Elliot locked up for his tweets, the Gawker keyboard warriors would be charged under the same standards.

Did you read the case at all? I see a lot of outrage in this thread and not a lot of factual information about the case. The reporting by Jezebel is, of course, also pretty biased. This idea that he was “stalking” them I see in the comments is insane - he mentioned a bar that the girls were at because they geotagged…

Thank you for being the voice of reason. Here was an excerpt that stands out

Thank you! I’m in the same boat as you (except I’m American) and was just reading through the court’s decision and it seems like both parties let things get out of hand and were being immature. I am shocked this became the huge case that it did.

You’re not going to mention how Guthrie lied and even admitted to lying .

Yeah, I understand the knee-jerk reaction of support for the accusers given the topic at hand, but when you start looking into this case, they come out looking as bad if not worse than Elliott does in any of his tweets

“Does this feel like judicial mansplaining to anyone else?”

Is this a serious comment?


eta: Channeling basic principles of proving the alleged offense here.

Why didn’t you mention the fact that Elliott was also targeted by the feminists? They ran accusations saying the man was a pedophile, when the “13 year old” abused girl was in reality 18 - 19 years old. And she wasn’t abused at all.

Worth noting: The acquittal was not due to the accused lacking knowledge that he was harassing the complainants. The court found that the accused *did* know he was harassing one of the women (Reilly), and was reckless regarding the potential for harassment of the other (Guthrie). Recklessness is an alternative to…

I love Jezebel, I’m a Canadian, and I identify as a feminist. I was wondering, have you read the 75 pages of court proceedings that are available online? I’m part way thought it and it doesn’t seem so cut and dry like this article seems to make it out to be. I think we should believe anyone when they say they have…

While I don’t think what he did was good, right, or moral, based on the letter of the law, I agree that it wasn’t criminal. Also, there were a few things that the judge listed as reasons he found the women did not really fear him that you’ve somehow failed to mention in your article.

Good for him. Poor guy lost 3 years of his life over an internet argument. lol
