“In proportion to career development or life experience." *sigh* Does this apply to Hollywood Divas? It seems like no one really expects them to develop or mature beyond the age of 8. Well, as long as they can keep a solid fan base anyway.

Oh, give me a break. This was an innocent, clumsy mistake. The person who wrote it was trying to emphasize the fact that a black person won a sport in an area where blacks are stereotypically considered not to be strong. The phrase, “blacks can’t swim,” has always been a common trope. Bad writing, but in no way mean…

I totally agree. I very clearly said that although it is serious disease there is a measure of personal responsibility. He has had and still does have an opportunity to seek help. I hope he does, before it’s irreversible.

It’s not an excuse, but if you hang out around an outhouse don’t be surprised when you smell like shit. Amber should’ve left long ago if that’s how things were.

I feel like he acts more like a Crybaby....I’ll see myself out.

He also behaves very much like an abusive alcoholic. I grew up with alcoholic guardians, and this video gave me chills, remembering what I experienced as a kid. I wish there had been camera phones back then.

I was just reading some comments about the Depp/Heard story on other sites and I’ve concluded that a video could emerge of Johnny Depp repeatedly punching Amber Heard in the face, and the internet would still declare her to be a gold digger who deserved it.

So fucking depressing.

Whoa. I really did not think this would happen. I hope he can build a life for himself surrounded by supportive people who can try to help him move past this as best he can. And I hope when he sues he gets a shit ton of money.

This kid never had a chance. When I listened to the phone calls he had with his mother, annd witnessed the ineptitude of his attorney I just wept for this dude. I’m not saying he’s innocent but he has the right to a propper trial with competent representation.

Ive had lots of women do this to me. And its not "Hey, get off now." Its a breathy "Hey" and a smile or a kiss. Ive never done it to anyone.

No, not true, I do it all the time just. It’s to feel out their mental stability before I ask if they want me to call them a cab. It’s just nicer that going straight to “go home”.

An actual criminal act, maybe. An alleged criminal act, no. Think of the consequences if allegations could remove someone’s elected official: unproven allegations could be manufactured for political gain. Most lower-level officials can only be removed through a recall election, and some officials have continued to…

“DNC is a private organization and he has no legal entitlement to being a delegate” —> both of these things aren’t completely true. The DNC is quasi-private/public which seriously complicates unilateral expulsion. Consider the idea that you are effectively disenfranchising a block of voters and potentially swaying the…

Nah... if I happen to look at and/or smile at a woman as I pass her in the hallway of my hotel, resulting in her accusing me of something and having me removed from the hotel, my reservation cancelled, *without* refund, leaving the action on me to seek legal recourse from her at my own cost, with the justification…

1) Call the Philadelphia Center City Doubletree at 215-893-1600 and ask that they modify their guest agreement to include language explicitly reserving the right to transfer or expel guests accused of sexual assault or harassment without refund;

Sorry but if you get harassed at a hotel by another delegate, you go to the fucking police, which this woman did. Why is it up to the DNC or the hotel to have specific policies to handle assaults? I mean, with colleges the justification is Title IX and the fact that these are kids living away from home for the first…

Does ANY political convention have guidelines in place for ANY kind of assault? Genuinely curious— because it seems like they just continue to operate on the assumption that political conventions are a ‘civilized’ event (an assumption which would seem to be totally unfounded in reality, all throughout history). I…

They should absolutely have a policy for this, but I’m interested if there are stated policies on other types of violence/conflict between delegates. Like if one delegate punched another in the face, is there a policy for handling that? And if so, why couldn’t that policy be used for this incident? Assault is assault.

Since we have the three Jewish reporters at Jezebel in one place, I don’t suppose anyone would like to answer why there’s been no reporting on 70% of Jews in the University of California system having experienced antisemitism on campus, the professor going on an antisemitic rant at Oberlin (okay, I know the answer to…
