Oh my god. How horrifying. I’ve encountered Munchausen by Proxy once before, when the manager of my mom’s store was finally exposed. At first, she was a totally charming person who was super good at her job. And we all felt terrible for her because her 5 year old son was constantly sick or recovering from something.…

This actually sounds like self-defense. I realize it doesn’t fit the legal definition, but given the torture this woman endured at her mother’s hands, is it really so difficult to understand how someone in her position could snap?

It would indeed appear this is the son of that same one. I think. Wikipedia is a little confusing on the respect of what “Jr.” means, because Nixon’s Cox was a Junior, but it says his son was also Junior. [insert shruggy man]

See, I think he has the oddest face. A quarter view and a profile view? I think he is gorgeous. Fashion model hot. A straight on front view of his face? His eyes are way too deep set and his nose looks like someone smashed it. It’s not pretty. But it’s the same face! Weird how that works.

The number of guys in the world wearing speedos that are too small for them is one douche smaller today.

Assaulting a staff member over a meal is a dumb mistake.

F that...if you’re now saying it was a mistake, you’re saying that basic company policy (which is probably very lenient already, because showbiz) is perfectly okay with personal assault. I’m not okay with that, as much as I loved TG. There comes a point where your top celebrity or top salesman just can’t be kept…

Totally, he would put porn on for them when they were young teens and Nick was still a child, walk around practically nude. I watched a documentary in which other failed boy banders allege that Perlman always selected one kid from every group who got “special attention”. Seems like a classic abuser to me. Very sad.

If I recall correctly, there was a young man from Hawaii who was an original member of O-Town. He quit the band and left the show early and went back home to Hawaii. It was a big deal. He was not in a good place and was desperate to go home. Come to find out later, he was very uncomfortable around Pearlman. His father…

I haven’t thought about Lou in years. I didn't know he was in jail, but when I saw the headline, I figured he was in jail for worse than a Ponzi scheme.

The security guys were going to call the cops. The swimmers were begging to pay damages on the spot to avoid popo involvement, hence a compromise was struck. There was no extortion.

I, for one, appreciate that Ryan put on his serious hair for his almost apology.

Hmm. I feel like you should test this out. Go find a 7-11 with an armed guard, piss on the walls and start tearing down signage, attempt to jump in a cab and tell me how this goes*.

That and the “they demanded money from us!!” which is horseshit. Those guys were begging to pay on the spot and be free to walk without police involvement. Actually it totally would have worked in their favor if dipshit Lochte could just shut the fuck up. I had thought they were all morons but really those other three…

Remember when the deadspin comments where full of “why would anyone made up a story like that?” And “that’s the corrupt police covering up for their dirty cops” and “that’s just third world country bs”? Good times!!

The only people that come out of this looking bad are Jack Conger and Gunnar Bentz, who’s obvious lies tarnished the reputation of an American hero. And now that hero, who was made to cry by hard hitting journalist Matt Lauer, is modifying his own story in order to protect their reputations! Is there no justice in the…

I feel bad for his teammates, Bryson, Dillon, and Brody. I mean, they seem so insignificant in these stories. So much so that I just made up all three of those names and you didn’t even notice.

He doesn’t get much credit from me just because his actions weren’t as shitty as a child rapist. It’s a low bar.

I care, because I KNOW that Beyonce is actually 73 years old and this whole yacht jumping business is just further proof of the media cover up.
