As a woman who has had a sexual abuser, fuck you Nicki. Fuck you for turning your head and allowing this sack of garbage to walk away from the flames he created.

He hasn’t “been accused.” He plead guilty. He shared videos of it. It happened. You don’t need to hedge your bets here. She just added a song to her album that is a collaboration with a man admitted in court to having sexual contact with a 13 year old girl and sharing videos of it.

It only takes one booze cruise with the kids in the backseat to potentially drive them right off a cliff....maybe she’s just seeing if he can get his shit together so he can be a part of their kids’ lives.

I dunno. When I was in rehab a LOT of people went through divorces while still drinking because their spouse was sick of their shit. I think giving him the chance to be fully present for the matter is a favor. I’m sure she’d like to move on earlier rather than later, plus as someone else pointed out he’ll get MORE…

...and a little bit of searching reveals April 13, 2016.

The Blast article the original Jez article cited to says they filed in 2016 not 2017. I have no idea which is correct. But 2016 makes more sense for the judge being antsy.

The warning by the judge to Garner (who I think is the one who filed) is a little odd, since the statute is a discretionary dismissal after 2 years and mandatory after 5. If she indeed filed in April 2017 she’s still got plenty of time.

It’s not really that insane, if it’s about your kids. If he’s sober, he’ll get more custody, which is good for the kids (as long as he is indeed sober). Basically, it sounds like she’s doing him a favor. Or maybe that’s just how she wants it to sound? I dunno, but as it’s put here, that’s what I’m getting.

Jen and Ben are kind of the opposite of most celeb divorces--stay on good terms, keep your dirty undies out of the press, take care of each other and remember we all still have to raise these kids together.

Ok, I decided to read the Kellyanne Conway piece. Her bullshit about “I’m doing what the feminists say is the right thing to do” makes me want to slap her. Simply having a highly visible, rich-person job and not letting your husband’s opinion affect who you work for is not the end-all be-all of feminism. This bitch is…

Plus it helps preserve institutional knowledge as former colleagues can come and say, “hey John, you’ve left some shitty documentation, why the hell does plan X include step Y and should we really do that given current situation Z?”

Rand Paul praises Trump for revoking Brennan’s security clearance after he recommended it. The guy who just came from Moscow.

But honestly, why do these ex-officials get access to this shit anyway? No, seriously, why?

And the tone of The Root article made their beef seem like one big Team No One joke. She stabbed the guy, FFS. But most people really can’t grasp that not taking female abusers seriously is just a form of benevolent sexism.

For the longest, folks kept pointing to her overt sexual persona and boss bitch rant as if it were the first chapter of some feminist manifesto, and I was like, “nah, Nicki’s only speaking up for Nicki, not (black) women as a whole.” Flash forward to 2018, and she’s shaming sex workers, appropriating Asian culture, kno…

Once again reminding everyone that diamonds are awful.

Dirt Bag is skewed towards white celebrities. I know we have Priyanka Chopra today, but the whiteness of Dirt Bag is something I’ve been tracking. 

So, are we just not talking about Nicki Minaj stabbing her boyfriend? Or Keith Ellison assaulting his girlfriend? I have been waiting for these articles for a little while because I thought we talked about domestic abuse and holding abusers accountable and believing victims on Jezebel but I haven’t seen articles about…

Maybe he’s just not a big fan of pedophiles. You know, like a normal person.

Maybe he doesn’t like Woody Allen or Roman Polanski or Kevin Spacey either? Michael Jackson is a dubious hill to die on, and for the record I have zero hit songs so don’t waste your time Ms. Mills.
