Aaand cue the Racist Uncle (TM) posts on Facebook in 5....4....3....2....1....

Glad they caught him.

Statute of limitations has long passed, so unfortunately anyone abused in the 80s would be unable to pursue criminal charges now. A civil lawsuit, however, is a definite possibility.

HOW DARE YOU! Anyway, Pitt was a baby himself in the 80's.

I thought the same.

So are we giving it two weeks before this comes to a head, like the Charlie Sheen case? Or since this goes deeper, darker and for a lot longer, will they just continue to hide like they’ve been doing all these years without fear of being caught/named? Because Hollywood can’t afford for him/them to be named?

“The closeted perv has never come out as gay”

Because he very well may not be; being a child predator /= gay. Abusive sex is about power, not identity.

Right-- so out of respect for her grieving, can you take this post down or add a serious apology?

Or you could take the post down. You know, that is a thing you could do.

So, your entire post is effectively “this woman should smile more in public,” then when it’s pointed out she just lost her father you add a line at the end - but don’t change the headline or anything else in the post?

Cool.

This was such a sad attempt to stir shit among female entertainers.

Then why the fuck don’t you edit this to be a sympathetic to her loss?

You should have told her how pretty she’d be if she’d only smile.

That added sentence doesn’t make up for the shit pile that is the rest of this article.

Plus, the weird insinuation that she’s being catty because McKinnon won over Chlumsky? All women are pitted against and rooting against one another until proven innocent or something?

Even if she hadn’t just lost her father, it would still be a dick move to say she should look happier.

Yeah I don’t think that last line is enough. The headline – and essentially the whole post – is pretty much stirring shit like, “smile pretty, honey.”

Why not just remove it? The story doesn’t provide any new information and runs counter to what Jez is supposed to be about. It’s literally the asshole following you down the street yelling at you to cheer up three days after your dad died.

Yeah, clearly amending doesn’t include admitting their article is a fuck up and that they should apologize for its nonsense.

Accountability is key here, ladies. Someone should apologize for such a rushed, click-seeking article. I thought Jezebel was supposed to be about more than scruntizing a 1 second cutaway of someone’s face.
