Hari Kondabolu’s bit on Weezer is hilarious and relevant to this:

SJP is producing and starring in a HBO series right now. She’s far from an “absence of a career.”

Ah, good catch! I meant custody proceedings.

On the off-chance that this is the correct take, this quote is super interesting:

Totes.

I think just the opposite. Clearly his fiancee had a very close relationship with his mother that meant a lot to her. He also chose HIS time on stage to make the moment about her (as someone in another article mentioned, as opposed to proposing during HER moment or acceptance speech). I think it’s the opposite of…

I would never want a public proposal for myself, but I’m not everybody. And I’m assuming, since he’s known this woman for going-on 17 years, that he probably knows what she likes. Judging by her response, she did. If you’re in a healthy, long-term relationship, you generally know if your partner will say yes to a…

I always imagined Jet as Japanese or Korean...

Yeah. If this is custom Rodarte, why does it look like it was made for someone 6 inches shorter than her? Not good.

I’m absolutely not claiming that they get a pass. Allen and Previn absolutely share the responsibility for these kids turning out pretty fucked up. It sounds like every adult in this situation failed to the greatest extent they could. 

Oh, no, I’m not claiming that her official age on her birth certificate was inflated. I’m saying that the pictures were very likely taken MUCH earlier than when they were discovered, and she appeared to be closer to 16-17 in them than her age when they “officially” began dating. So the assumption there is that the…

Huh, interesting. That wasn’t even my point, but that’s an additional level of disturbing.

I can’t speak for Ronan (although his excellent journalistic work on the Weinstein case speaks for itself), but it’s pretty fucked for you to say that Dylan, the VICTIM of childhood sexual assault, is way too invested in her own abuse allegations. 

And Brett Kavanaugh’s 60 classmates all said he was a stand-up guy! 

All of her other 7 children who are STILL ALIVE. At least two of her deceased children have spoken to her abusive tendencies. 

To be fair, many of Mia’s children who have since passed away have also corroborated the claim that she was abusive. Mia can be a flawed and emotionally abusive mother and still be protecting her children from a serial abuser. That seems the most likely explanation.

Yep, this. 

The part that squicks me out most about Previn’s description of the affair is that she DIDN’T come onto him - he was “interested” in her and found her “impressive,” and was the one who kissed her first. That, to me, is pretty telling.

Yeah, it’s clear that these kids had some REAL shitty parents growing up. I think it’s pretty plausible that Mia was a loving and extremely emotionally abusive mother, and that Woody saw an opportunity to swoop in and groom a few kids knowing that they would never be believed. The whole thing is disgusting. 

They both maintain that she was 21, but there is mention of evidence in the divorce proceedings of a nude photograph Allen took of Previn when she was 16 or 17. So it’s likely that they are inflating her age quite a bit.
