[redacted after learning it was a bench trial]

Yup. This is Clooney’s statement on the matter. It’s one side of the story, but it matches Russell’s reputation and Clooney has a good track record for being honest about pretty much anything aside from, perhaps, his romantic relationships, so I’m inclined to believe it.

What is the purpose here? This is just mean and not even funny.

Wow can you imagine the field day Jezebel would have tearing apart some BroBible type site for publishing and mocking a woman’s beauty purchases? Especially if they then claimed that they were “worshipping” her which just about as gross and flippant as the post itself. Just amazing what a lot of click throughs can do…

Natasha Vargas-Cooper & Jezebel: Worst article yet. I feel embarrassed for you.

Seriously. If almost anyone other than Jezebel had posted this piece, Jezebel would have pounced on them for body and age shaming. You can call it worshipping but it reads like mocking. New low.

Wow, forget Regina, this is taken from the Heather Chandler Mean Girl playbook.

I literally just defended the new writers on a previous thread and said I had high hopes. This is mean and catty and I thought we were above this.

You realize that this is fucking evil, don’t you? And particularly horrendous given that it is so-called feminists who are humiliating this woman using her illegally stolen private transactions. You should be proud.

Humiliating a woman for her personal hygiene routine? I’m embarrassed for Jezebel.

I have to agree with everyone else. I expect more of Jezebel. Gawker? Ok, I wouldn't like it, but I have no expectations of them. We are better than this. Please rethink this article.

Well, this is a fucking awful article. Reminds me of the bitches at the grocery store who check out my cart while standing in line. Pay attention to your own shit.

This is just thoroughly unpleasant. By all means criticise her for being a shitty person but this post is really shameful. Way to scrape the barrel, Jez.

This is garbage, even for Gawker. Cruel, grade school bully bullshit.

This is mean and disgusting. It goes against what this website should be celebrating. Shame on you.

Interesting choice by Jezebel, who I seem to remember being ENRAGED by the celeb nude leaks that happened, to be picking apart this woman’s private emails to figure out what she does to her body.

I knew I shouldn’t have clicked on this post. I knew it I knew it I knew it. I hate everything about this post.

This is some mean girl shit. How can Jezebel even remotely claim to be a feminist blog and then put this kind of crap up. For all the complaints about misogynist trolls, this is pretty fucking troll-y.

I would love a Sally spin-off. I’m actually quite sad that there are only three episodes left. I think we’re at a very interesting moment in Sally’s life. Don is a pig. And lol at the fact that they couldnt find a single kid to play Bobby for 7 years straight, because I’m sure they would’ve been able to develope his…

From the story above, there doesn’t seem there was anything illegal done — it’s not a crime to go on vacation and turn off your phone and not log into Facebook, and Costello isn’t the one who called authorities, or gave anyone any false information — so not sure why your surprised that no charges are being filed.
