Then Jezebel could have chosen to not report on this. I believe rape victims or alleged rape victims should have the right to privacy to avoid further victimization.

You nailed it. I feel like using her name was clickbait and definitely not how a victim, alleged or otherwise should be treated.

While this doesn’t maybe rise to the occassion of Gawker’s choice to publish material and names that led to their destruction; it’s also not somehow not in the neighborhood of that when it comes to maybe deciding to maybe not write this article.

Oh man, I don’t think this is right. Katy Perry should have her privacy respected. This is not cool.

100% agree. Why is Jezebel reprinting this with Katy Perry’s name??

I would argue that reporting on this is a further violation of Perry, whether she was or was not a victim of Luke’s. It doesn’t feel like she had any agency in this breaking and that’s gross even if she’s a public figure I’m not particularly interested in

Personally, it’s the black-or-white thinking. If everything isn’t perfect, it’s terrible. Unfortunately, life is 20% shit even when it’s going well. Close runner up is the overreaction to mild criticism.

The toughest thing I’ve found when dealing with a love one with this disorder is that quite simply they can act like a total fucking asshole. The narcissism is staggering. Mind you, they are ill, but it’s hard to deal with. Then the guilt you yourself carry for succumbing to your anger at their actions can really do a…

Not BOPD, but have lots of personal experience with Bipolar disorder in my family, which shares a lot of the same impulsive, risk taking and self destructive behaviors. I guess what I meant by not facing any real harm was more financial, neither of them will be ruined financially, neither of them will lose their…

Somebody tell me again how it’s The Gays that will ruin the sanctity of marriage?

How high and or drunk are both of them?

“They’re just two people who found love quickly and make each other happy all the time.”

I hope she gets a strong pre-nup. This is going to be a rough ride...

Oh for God’s sake.
