They can’t all be as great as the S9 reunion. That shit was epic

You know, it says a lot that I really got into this sparring during the initial watch but only a few hours later what moments I remember most are the Vanjie segment - because how can you not? - and Mercedes’ really talking about her experience and current feelings (I was getting a little teary, I won’t lie) which does…

Pregnant in the past and (?) gave birth in the past??? Where the fuck is the other baby(ies)?? This whole story is super horrifying, from the rape, to the facility negligence, to the fact that nobody visited her for at least the last 3 months before she gave birth. I just. I can’t even.

Yep. I’m going to start stockpiling meds and I’m taking them all before I need to go into a place like this. 

..new documents allege that the woman had been repeatedly raped and had possibly been pregnant in the past.

My husband gets a little sensitive when I say shit like that. But unless we have some real systemic change in this country regarding healthcare, I don’t want to burden my family with costs like that down the road.

But I thought that regulations are bad, that we should have fewer regulations and with fewer enforcement powers!

I’m also pretty sure he hasn’t provided any actual “evidence” that doesn’t equally point to him being a creepy older dude trying to get with Natalie Portman when she was 18. 

Yeah, experience alone tells me Portman is overwhelmingly more likely to be telling the truth here. I’ve had a guy claim to have dated me when the closest we ever got was attending a few of the same events separately. That was weird. And I spent two fraught summers in college working on a landscaping crew where more…

I blame The Professional, but so many craggy, creepy guys wanna be around the sort of beauty that Portman has- seemingly fresh and unforced. I specify her beauty because it’s clear that they don’t give a darn about her intelligence or spirit.

Yeah, that pretty much sums it up. Making a note for my family so they never ever put me in a nursing home. Just give me a hug and let me go.

“Jesus Fucking Christ”

Jesus. Yeah I saw that story and I was just “?????”

There’s no ‘he said, she said’ about her age. She was 18 (probably, maybe even 17 since her birthday is in June) when they met. That’s verifiable fact.

I mean, the appropriate mature/adult thing to do here would be to realize, “Wow, I really misconstrued things back then, didn’t I?” not start yelling that she’s lying to make him look bad because reasons.

Poor Natalie had some similar shit happen with Jonathan Safran Foer too, she worked with him on the Eating Animals movie and apparently he went and told his wife he and Natalie were in love and he was leaving her. Apparently that was news to Natalie who is happily married.

That’s why I don’t know why he doesn’t let this go. If it happened, it’s still sketchy. Something about Natalie Portman just makes dudes who love the idea of her go crazy and she’s had to deal with this shit since she was a literal child.

Moby stated they dated in 1999. According to Portman’s IMDB, she was born in 1981. I’m no mathematical expert, but that would make her 18 in 1999 and not 20, as he initially wrote in his memoir.

Here’s the infuriating thing:

I would like to point out that Moby is, in fact, 16 years older than Natalie Portman, which means that their age difference lines up with her being 18 when he was 33, not 20.
