I am half-assed brave. All these other women have come out and shared their stories publicly. I have talked to the two women who blew this story up in private and have vaguely said on Twitter that I had a story and supported Amber and the others and thanked for Judy and Beth listening, but I am not ready to share what…

I went through a similar, though not high-profile experience. I was so angry that I couldn’t box up all the shitty feelings and give it to the person who was causing me pain. Going through it was awful enough...and i just wanted the awfulness to end.

With my story, it’s because I thought I brought it on myself. I was not sober. I felt like shit for putting myself in a position where something like this would happen. For freezing up and not pushing him away when I was very uncomfortable and afraid of speaking up and thinking “maybe deal with this, he will go away…

Same. I know a lot of these women and was so angry and felt sick for them, but when it came time to talk about my story with this dude, I clammed up and felt like I was going to hurl and like if I told my story that someone would say something to discredit me (like I was at fault) and no one would believe me. It’s a…

I was talking to a few other women who work in the music industry with me last night and we were just going back and forth about gross encounters we have had with asshole dudes in our field and I was like “This is depressing. We could sit here exchanging these stories until we die.”

I completely identify with being able to staunchly stick up for other women when this shit happens but not for myself. Interesting to read it's not just me.

I have a friend who used to be a blackout drunk. One day when he came to, he realized he had been in a fight. His friends told him he had started it and that the other guy was hurt, too. You know what he did? He stopped drinking. In all the years subsequent to that — and they’ve been hard — he never picked up a drink.

This actually makes me like her more...

Thanks. :)

Totally. I’ve done things I’ve been embarrassed about while drunk, but nothing that violent or damaging to another person.

I was one of these women. I talked to Beth and Judy last night. It was fairly recent. I was hard to talk about.

Relatives of mine used to work for a major TV station and they had her on a show one day and said she kept a 6-pack under her faux-counter.

Berru didn’t respond to an email I sent to his personal account requesting comment or to multiple phone calls, but early on Wednesday, he released a statement in which he admitted to drug and alcohol problems. In this statement, Berru addresses the women who’ve accused him generally but does not go into specifics, and…

I love her so much. She is delightful, and her recipes are great (I’m making her spicy tomato soup next week, and I’m so stoked).

hahaha I’m so glad I’m not the only one, I thought I was going crazy for a second.

I shamelessly share your unabashed adoration of Martha. I have converted my husband, attempted with my bff, and have sworn for YEARS that I will end up a swaggering, pseudo-crazed WASP a la Martha, Lucille Bluth or Malory Archer. She is a national treasure.

I think they are trying to hide the whole "may actually be a robot" thing with charming flaws like mismatched and boring colors.

I fucking love Martha Stewart.

I did a double take at that picture since that gradient dress made Wendy Williams look, for a moment, as though she was materializing right out of the taupe-colored table.

Martha DGAF. Except about your boat. It better be a big boat.
