Can we please stop with the Serena worship? She’s a titan of tennis, a superb athlete, but she’s not without flaws, without her faults. She’s petulant, and this isn’t the first or worst instance of abusing an official in her career.

Its not, it ended in 1988 and the 26 year old (who wasn’t born when the business failed) son of Hugh Hefner who now runs Playboy has decided to spend a bunch of Daddy’s money on bringing it back in 2018... because New York needs another exclusive club for old rich dudes to ogle young woman I suppose...

Honest to Gourd question:

I agree. I find it odd to get upset with Lily Allen for not proclaiming she was seeking sexual fulfillment or pleasure. It sounds like she was going through a dark time and it was more of an emotional outlet. Which many people do and desperately crave human connection. And an anonymous human connection. If that’s her…

It’s also telling that sex workers are cast aside in this narrative. Allen was, as she wrote in her Instagram post, in a “dark time” but now she’s moved on. She doesn’t “do it anymore.” She’s “not proud.” What about those sex workers who helped her in that “dark time” and served as “an outlet”? After all, the fact of…

Jamil is right. The factory rebuilt K-people - and what they’re marketing to impressionable girls everywhere - are like Number 12 Looks Just Like You. What the K-people are selling (not just the appetite suppressants and corsets) is a dangerous and extreme product: conformity at any cost.

WAIT. the age of consent question is really secondary here. he says she assaulted him. the hedging on this site of “oh, well, in some states the age of consent is 17" is absolute bullshit. he says she raped him. even if the age of consent WAS 17 in CA, raping someone is still illegal. 

Yeah, just because someone has had bad things done to them doesn’t make them incapable of also doing bad things. I really don’t like how she is handling this either.

Same. If anything I think it shows how being a victim can create a vicious cycle that creates additional victims in their wake. I still believe her about Weinstein, but I also believe that due to her own messed up sexual experiences it led to mistakes which may include the relationship with this underage actor. It…

I don’t know....those text messages sent to Rain Dove where she admitted she had sex with him. The fact that she tried to justify it because she was in a relationship at 17 with a 33 year old. The fact that she’s now pinning the payout on the dead guy who can’t really defend himself. The fact that she’s using the same…

HE WORE HIS NAME TAG TO THE INTERVIEW!!! God, Mr. Owens is awesome.

He had some great spots on It’s Always Sunny in that past decade.

This is peak FOX bullshit.

Yep. And, NO ONE SHOULD GO TO JAIL/PRISON for DEBT. Isn’t it counter-productive anyway? WtF America? Guess we really never did get rid of Debtor’s Prisons, we now just say, WARRANT and pretend it’s okay to jail folks for being poor. I don’t see how traffic tickets make you such a menace to society...that you need to…

People stay even longer for failure to pay whatever fees associated with why they were in jail initially. Stuff like normal court fees. Its war on the poor.

America is fabulously petty that way.

Awful events like this are why so many people fear calling the cops, or getting them involved in any way. Actually, this is just one of many reasons.

Everything about this story is seriously fucked up, starting with why the fuck was she in jail for 3 days for parking tickets?

I mean this when I say it:  fuck these shit fuckers. I hope they die terrible, terrible deaths, alone and screaming for help.
