Considering the ageism that occurs all the time in the entertainment industry, I’m not mad at her for lying about her age. I get it. Who cares? She got her “break” in the states in her late 20s early 30s and thought she’d buy herself a few more years of getting roles before she became “too old” for certain parts…

You had to figure something was up when Leonardo DiCaprio didn’t date her.

You can’t study enough to make your eyes do that. I usually call bullshit on the insanity defense thing, and would love to in this case, but healthy people can’t fake exophthalmos.

Thank you for having the decency to respond.

This is the second deliberately-ignorant Cattelan-bashing piece on Gawker Media within a week. I hope GM fully realises that this is a perpetuation of exactly the same type of wilfully “my ignorance is as good as your informed perspective” genre of non-thought that your writers ascribe to Trump supporters.

You seriously might want to look into the funding for those dissidents. The most famous, Yoani Sanchez has quite a nice career, always leaving Cuba to fly to various countries, on a blogger’s income, to talk about how Cuba is a veritable concentration camp. Then she goes home, where, oddly, she is not shot. She has…

I can’t tell if its conservatism or just ignorance in this case. On the one hand, maybe Davies grew up being told Cuba horror stories by an “exiled” family member. On the other hand, maybe she is just one of those Jezebel writers that is profoundly knowledgable about trends in popular culture and online activism, but…

Thank you. The fact that Cuba, despite living under a punishing embargo for half a century, is more stable, and has a healthier, more educated population than Puerto Rico, the US’s colony, is pretty fucking astounding. What’s happened to Puerto Rico in the last ten years is a goddamn tragedy.

Thank you. Even if you don’t like Fidel Castro, its pretty disgusting to describe Cubans as “living in misery.” Cuba is NOT the third world. (A disgusting term in its own right.) Yes, there has been austerity. But “misery”? I work with Cubans all the time. This is an extremely educated country, with lots of skilled…

That’s a whole lotta misinformation. Banning all religions? Cubans can’t go to beaches? Women treated as disposable? All the Cuban women who have advanced and have leadership in traditionally male arenas, including the government, might disagree. Or were you talking about Fidel’s wife of forty-six years? I don’t agree…

“Concentration camps” don’t usually offer the best medical care a country can offer and better than average food. Cuba is a small island with a very sex-positive culture and strong commitment to public health. In the eighties, quarantining people with hiv made sense. As understanding of the disease increased,…

Obviously, there is more to it than that. They have anti-discrimination laws, the government makes statements against homophobia and transphobia, etc. Gender reassignment surgery is called a human right, light other medical procedures.

Came here to be all “Really, the embargo the U.S. enforc...”. Was not disappointed with the lack of me having to say it.

You’ll be pleased to learn that the Cuban government admitted their errors with the gays and Lesbians.

Jezebel is really conservative— just not in the full fledged Republican sense.

Right?! At least Cubans got health care for the last 50 yrs. Also, I'm pretty sure the misery was the result of American foreign policy regarding Cuba.

IDK, I think his economic policies have been better for Cuba than what the U.S. would otherwise have wanted. Just look at Puerto Rico

Like a popular leader doing his best for his country under difficult circumstances. And being instrumental in defeating apartheid. And fighting against corporate dominance of Latin America. And promoting universal literacy, universal health care, and women’s equality.

Is Jezebel an extreme right wing site now? Fidel is admired in most of the world.
