i read today that he didn’t even go!! LOL he used his dads money (sent to him thinking it was going twds USC tuition) so he could start his clothing company and he fudged fake marks so his dad wouldn’t catch on!!

I think the idea that in America anyone can grow up to become president has really come back to bite us in the ass.

Just more evidence that being rich won’t stop you from succeeding no matter how stupid you are. You can even become President of the United States. The last republican president and the present one are literally idiots.

Call me old-fashioned, but I find the word ‘influencer’ to be unnecessary when we already had the word ‘shill’, which was a perfectly good word for the exact same thing.

Olivia used her Crew experience to get back from the yacht as soon as she heard of her moms arrest.

Nope. Which is why this scandal will be a plus for her in the long run. When you make money off being famous getting more attention is only a good thing. We’ve seen this path walked before. It was forged by Paris Hilton and then paved with gold by the Kardashians. I wouldn’t be surprised if Olivia Jade gets an E…

did anyone else not know who these two people were before these headlines?

just me?

$500K non-cash bail they’re back in the house by now uncorking some chardonnay to drive the blues away while the lawyer vultures circle overhead.

Was in my 20s when it happened, must echo others saying it seemed reduced to a punchline or joke back then. I have no recollection of hearing or reading that she’d been abused, or even that she’d “claimed” (as they probably would have put it) to have been. The overarching theme was definitely CRAZY BITCH!

It was well done and becomes a very difficult watch. First, because as the evidence of his abuse builds up, cutting to him in his living room in the present day lying, blaming her...and then you get to her trial and hear her testimony in which she is clearly traumatized...and there’s this one juror who STILL thinks…

Yup. I’ve only watched the first episode so far, but my first thought watching the police search was “that’s entirely too much effort to save this man’s penis.”

Would not surprise me if that was deliberate. Unless she grew up bilingual with equal facility with English and Spanish, the prosecution did that to make her sound even less intelligent and more “hysterical”.

“More than half of murder victims in 2017 were killed by their partners or family members, leading the U.N. to conclude that the most dangerous place for women to be is in their own home.”

I’m mystified by the first episode and wondering why they didn’t have someone interview her in Spanish? Can you imagine trying to talk about a traumatic event in a second language? 

On one had, cutting off someone’s genitalia is horrifying. On the other hand, that’s just about the perfect punishment for a monster rapist.

Same here. Amazing how things get stripped away like that. A case from the “good old days” - where the world was just starting to come to terms with the idea that consent isn’t implied at all times in marriage.

I was a teenager (young man) at the time it happened. I was today years old when I learned he actually raped her. I just thought she was crazy.

I remember when I first heard this story & the reactions of outrage that a rapist lost his penis & the silence about the woman getting tired of being raped.

I was still in elementary school when this happened, so the only memories I have of it from the time are those of the jokes and punchlines, of a woman so crazy to have done something like this. And that’s all I really understood of it well into my adulthood.
