Exactly. I commented elsewhere, but she was in my film school class. She definitely is the embodiment of Hollywood privilege--the type of person who hung out with other rich actors’ kids (Max Winkler was one of her good friends, I remember). Very privileged and sheltered. You would hope as an adult she would at least…

There has been a history of labeling men’s storytelling work important and women’s fluff. Maybe that’s what was being addressed. We don’t take stories by women, for women as seriously. And I can’t imagine anyone doing the same kind of article for a serious male director. That’show it came across to me. Not that her…

I think it’s also fair to note that Meyers-Shyer probably wouldn’t have made any movies if her last name wasn’t Meyers-Shyer. Obviously if you go into your parents’ line of work and in the same genre, you’re going to get comparisons. Brandon Crobenberg gets it too. Just thank your lucky stars that you had the…

Definitely no other biases at play for Cam Newton, nope. None at all. Definitely proves the point you think it does.

If her daughter was solely responding to the claim that her mom “ghost-directed” her movie (the one with Reese Witherspoon), I get that.

She did leave. That’s why the bridesmaid was so horrified. How could the photographer leave the bride like that, on her wedding day?

What do you expect these poor lovers to do, get legally married now and reschedule the wedding until after the pandemic?

Came here to paste that quote. As I said in a post here earlier about Cardi B’s COVID antics, selfishness is going to be the downfall of this country. And five bucks says the happy couple is divorced in ten years. 

Thank you so much for taking the time to respond! I’ve read many of your comments here and know that we have similar opinions.
As I said to another poster, I do realize, after some thought, that there may be some good to this post.
I may have been slightly triggered, but the reasonable responses I’ve gotten to my post…

I sent this in earlier through the tip email because I didn’t want Barnett to have the last word. Also, as a rape survivor, I wanted to talk about it and figure out why this hurt so much. When I think of all the trauma we’ve all been through this year, it’s places like this that help me see that I’m not alone in a…

I’ve attended a handful of weddings in the last five years or so, and with only one exception, the people getting married have said ‘I’m so glad that’s over’ once they get to the reception.

I don’t know any of the people involved, but my guess is these women might rest easier in peace if we all got a little more outraged at a system that allows this person get a four-month prison sentence (“rough” or otherwise) and now have to cope with some sadness.

To each his own.  I want to make stories like this not…

Public Service Announcement:

That bridesmaid may be the funniest unintentional comedian ever.

If someone had invited me to a wedding this year, we would no longer be friends.  Even my Fox News infested Florida relatives scaled the wedding they had back to like 10 people.  

You’re right. Great kicker, but the final line in that story is a gut punch that perfectly encapsulates why I’ve lost so much faith in Americans, for sure, and maybe humanity (for context, the photographer wasn’t told anyone had tested positive, and has asthma and 3 kids):

I’ve had 1 friend and a few acquaintances elope this year (which honestly seems like a dream) and one friend get legally married, but who has postponed the actual wedding twice now.

I didn’t see Sia doubting anyone else, but I understand your point.

she can have a bad take here and still have had the experience she’s claiming to have had with labeouf. one doesn’t invalidate the other.

The biggest con of all is convincing someone named SIA to date someone names SHIA...seriously, wtf?
