This is a really bad take.

In one episode of their show, Leah Remini and Mike Rinder exposed how CoS had paid a woman who worked as a housekeeper for a Scientology critic—someone they had interviewed for the show—to tell lies about her. They made a whole website slandering her. And they have done MUCH worse than that; a journalist was almost…

I completely agree. We’re talking about an organization that, any time a former member speaks out against the church, will put up a website within the same week trying to destroy that person’s credibility in any way possible, often making totally baseless accusations of domestic abuse, incest, pedophilia, you name it.…

The letter writer literally mentioned her husband once in the whole letter. It wasn’t about him, it was about his parents. This might be the most bizarro advice I’ve seen from Jane.

I know, right? Especially when the letter writer told Jane that she’s excited about her friendships with these girls b/c she really likes them and has a hard time making female friends. I’m sensing a common theme in Jane’s advice: If a friend or lover isn’t perfect, ditch them and find someone better to replace them. N…

I agree 100%. A lot of people judge Elisabeth Moss despite having no frame of reference for understanding the position she is in; to publicly renounce the church would, for her, likely mean that she would not see her parents or brother for decades, if she ever saw them again.

It’s not a revenge baby; the baby was already happening. Dads have to get up five times a night sometimes to take care of a newborn (if it’s their ‘turn’ and that’s how they’ve worked it out with their partner). I didn’t get the impression that Jane was advising this woman to force her hubby to do more than his fair…

The letter writer said this thing had evolved into a full-fledged affair in the last six months. She didn’t want to provide any further details, apparently. Jane took her word for it, which, as an advice columnist, is all that she can do. She’s not an investigative journalist. Her advice was based on the assumption…

Jane’s response to letter #1 is getting a lot of hate, I think unjustly. The sad fact is that what this woman is going through is far from uncommon, and most women in this situation stay, even if they can’t forgive their husband’s infidelity/abuse/whatever. It’s a moral compromise they make in order to preserve their…
