It’s incredible how many of you have to resort to lies to bolster yourselves. I don’t care about Johnny Depp. Or Amber Heard, tbf. I care about victims of domestic violence and facts and evidence. Y’all should try that on some time. Much easier than having to make up lies about strangers on the internet. It’s also…

I .. am calm? Now you’re going to make up how I’m feeling and act like that’s a fact? What’s with y’all making up so many lies about people you don’t know on the internet?

They had to edit the audio because the Virginia trial didn’t allow any audio that had voices of people who could not testify.

No it’s not. The pressure is indeed quite strong. But there are other ways to deal with aging beyond spending thousands of dollars for inherently risky medical procedures you don’t need. Lots of women find ways to grow old without this nonsense, and while I have my issues with supermodels, I don’t think so poorly of…

“Not retiring would entail remaining in the public eye, which would mean she would continue to be judged for her looks.”

Real relationships? With people who would (in her head, anyway) judge her for aging? No one’s saying she has to live under a rock. But presumably she has some friends/family and a life that DON’T revolve around her being hot and young. This idea that it’s reasonable for a model to define herself by her looks and we…

This is a woman who has spent most of her life being told and sent the message that her value as a contributing member of society centers around her looks.

I get that too. I feel sympathy for her the same way, I’d feel for anyone who had complications from a cosmetic procedure. You’re absolutely right that this isnt happening in a vaccum and that she helped create and profited from this impossible standard of beauty. I really don’t think that younger Jezebel readers and…

I too remember this from the 90s; maybe it's why I have so little sympathy. It's hard for me not to see this as a sudden problem for her, but rather as an accumulation of life choices...

As I said, I’m not judging Linda Evangelista. I’m happy she did this, as the dangers of plastic surgery aren’t talked about enough. My problem is with the article’s implication (particularly in the quote above) that the pressure to be young and hot is so overwhelming that plastic surgery is a reasonable response.

I said this in a comment above, but I honestly didn’t know the press did this kind of shit to people who aren’t big anymore. If people are trying to leave the spotlight and being hounded, then yes, that sucks. But I don’t think it undermines the argument, at least in the case of Linda Evangelista. As long as she has…

I agree about that pressure, but it’s on every woman. I understand that it must be particularly acute for a supermodel, but only if her entire worth WAS her attractiveness. I like to think that Linda Evangelista (and models in general) understand that looking hot is a job, and construct a private life full of things…

sir this is a Wendy’s

When the discussion is about misogynist power dynamics and your contribution is essentially “Eliza is hot,” maybe best to just not contribute.

When he claims he was powerless when it came to sleeping with Buffy actresses, I was genuinely shocked. How does he not understand that that’s not an acceptable response. This article isn’t going to rehabilitate this dude’s reputation. 

Yeah, “an attempted racism cancelation” zealously led by Jezebel and the Gizmodo family of sites. You can’t just put your torches and pitchforks behind your back now and pretend you weren’t the ones at the front of the mob trying to whip up outrage.

I fixed that headline for y’all.

Wby does Jezebel keep calling this event racist? I know it was founded by a confederate veteran, but is that really enough justification to use the word racist? Has the organization done anything since thats blatantly racist? Does the secret society ban people of color joining? It seems the whole Eye Wide Shut…

Stop. Bitching. About. Ellie. Kemper.

I firmly believe that the only people who felt that an apology was even necessary were the least deserving of one.
