September, 2019: “Britney Spears’ ex-husband Kevin Federline has obtained a restraining order against the pop singer’s father Jamie Spears, according to Federline’s lawyer. Los Angeles divorce attorney Mark Vincent Kaplan tells NBC News the order restricts access to both Sean Preston and Jayden James and includes…

Kevin Federline quietly becoming the most responsible and sane adult in the extended Spears family drama was certainly not something that I saw coming in the early 00s.

Poke around enough behind those organizations pressing for these actions against “trafficking” and you’ll find the driving force is often people/groups that are purely anti-sex work in general. For those people, this is not a bug, this is the intent.

Ha! In yer face, Locke! Always knew your comeuppance would come sooner rather than later.

Yep, they wanted to make sex work less visible. The talk about catching sex traffickers was just the political cover they needed to make the bill harder to oppose. It was blindingly obvious from the start that SESTA/FOSTA would deplatform sex workers and force them to to conduct their business in more dangerous ways.

If she’s able to tour and do a Vegas residency, then there’s no justification for the level of control Britney describes. This isn’t just fans filling in the blanks. The fact that her team felt they could even ask her to perform at that level undermines the argument that she’s too sick to be able to make basic…

“The control he had to hurt his own daughter, he loved it. I worked seven days a week ... it was like sex trafficking. I didn’t have a credit card, cash or my passport.”

Aniston was dating and then married to BRAD FUCKING PITT for much of this time, wasn’t she?

Exactly; it’s pretty fucking insulting to bitch that this ruling was “teehee Becky can complain!” but in actuality it’s pretty significant for what constitutes free speech out of a school setting in a world where our words and locations are increasingly disparate from one another. This is why this site needs writers…

It’s gotten better in some ways. The fact that Chrissy Teigen’s bullying of Courtney Stodden is now getting pushback is one example of how it’s changed—that kind of thing was (unfortunately) extremely normalized at the time. That’s why it’s taken almost ten years to catch up to her, even though she was already a…

In a recent interview with The Guardian, Barton reflected on her career and the intense scrutiny she was under as an “it girl” during a time when the vicious beratement of female celebrities was the norm.

I think we overestimate how much cultural knowledge kids have at 13-14. In some ways and in some subjects they may have great sensitivity and depth of knowledge, but in other ways they’re still completely products of their environment and they can’t know what they don’t know.

Okay but the Courtney Stodden bullying is still true so do you have any comment on that, John?

Fuck off

The other dismissals and deaths make it seem suspicious, but this particular dismissal seems like just good “lawyering” (I don’t agree with it, but it seems like the lawyer made a good point). On the other hand, the judge could have been paid off. The possibilities are truly endless.

What did Serena do to you?

One of the things that gets me, though, is that she keeps describing her past behavior as a desperate attempt to be funny and cool, but Stodden was referring to private DMs. No one in chrissy’s much desired general public would even see those messages. She sent private messages encouraging self harm to a young person…

Courtney Stodden shared a screenshot showing that Teigan had blocked them on Twitter, AFTER Teigan supposedly apologized to Stodden.

I’ve never been a big fan of hers, and she absolutely deserved to have her comeuppance, because the things she said were horrible.

we just constantly need fresh meat. in 7 years someone will be having this same conversation about anya tayor-joy
