Except people who think that way are thinking about it with their adult brain, completely forgetting what it’s like to be a child with a child’s brain and on a child’s developmental path.

I should preface all this with the glaring fact that John Carney is not a bae at all

I’ve had a real shitty day.

I another sex worker is not for legalization. I do not want regulations. I do not want to have to register as a full service sex worker, I do not want to pay for a full-service licences. I any health issues that crop up to be between me and my doctor. I don’t want to have to work for a brothel. I other words I want…

I assumed coke bender and one too many excited viewings of American Psycho. Blockading the door with furniture is definitely a drug move.

Also this may have been a clue to his violent tendencies:

As a former sex worker, I don’t understand what is so hard for people to understand. We want our work to be legal, but pimping and human trafficking to be illegal.

Her mental state is not available information to the boys involved. If she gave consent, it’s consensual. There’s also no indication that the boys even knew about this history.

They are the same age and it’s a 99.99999999% probability he knows nothing of her experiences, and if he did, he has little clue of the mental effects. Be reasonable.

Imna start a file of “I just don’t understand how...” comments. JOKING. I don’t have a staff of thousands.

What she did makes total sense. She was feeling completely trapped, and needed to feel completely free. Telling people where you’re going so they can try to talk you out of it/ask you to explain why is not conducive to the feeling of freedom.

I buy talent often and this is actually an extremely tame rider...

How about some antipathy for the old guy who dumps the mother of his children for a child 22 years his junior? Like many middle-aged men, he made a fool of himself, and he is paying the consequences.

For real, just looking at him I can tell he smells like cigarette fingers and a dried out, well-used old leather wine cask.

Unless you live or have lived in or around Hollywood, and have actually interacted directly with the industry on a 24 hour basis, it is basically impossible to imagine just how far off in its own little universe that whole scene really is. Like, the real world has spent decades freaking out about Roman Polanski,…

Eh, I don’t think so. I would be genuinely shocked if sexual abuse of children were not more common in Hollywood than in many other walks of life. That’s because in show business, very rich, powerful, famous and well-liked adults have a lot of access to (and often power over) vulnerable minors. Plenty of middle-class…

Statutory rape isn’t the issue — if she was under 18 when the tape was made and it gets distributed, that’s child porn.

I miss Sassy so much. This would never have happened in Sassy! I’m gonna go put on my combat boots and babydoll dress and sulk in the corner until it’s over.

Seriously. The hilarity of Demi hating on Taylor Swift’s feminism, when she and Demi are more or less on the same poorly informed tier, seems to be lost on her...but not on me!

I like to pretend that “Girls” is set up like the DC Universe, and Lena and pals are on an alternate Earth where it’s very white. “Friends” was also set on this Earth-2.
