Ben is that a-hole who rather than just tell you its over, humiliates you to force your hand. Recall strippergate on the eve of his wedding to Jlo. And nannygate with Jennifer Garner. I think he expected Shookus to read the tea leaves from the fact that he let his divorce petition lapse and when that didn’t work, he…

The coercion part makes it wrong even without even question of his age. But depending on where it happened, he may or may not have been a minor at age 17.

This is some bs. Firstly, he is being centered why? He is a new dancer, he should earn his way to the front like the rest of the squad. 

Is anyone else surprised that none of those girls have come forward in the MeToo age? I get that he isn’t forcing them into it and that they are technically adults so there’s no legal questions there. I’m just surprised that none of them have in the fullness of time thought that a man in his 40s cycling through women…

There’s no harm to what Arianna or you guys are saying so I’m being a bit of a dick here but this is classic Hindsight Bias aka the ”I knew it all along” bias.

Telling a newbie who idolises you the words “nothing you say matters when the camera isn’t rolling” for making meaningless banter with you is just plain dickish. There are kinder ways to teach. 

Except she isnt bringing him to heel. She is turning him into a matyr. If you are gonna troll you need to be smart about it. I don’t even think this cake signage issue is a clever place to position the battle.

I think Jennifer has been the huge driving force in keeping him engaged with his children. His own father was an alcoholic and they barely had a relationship growing up. Casey has spoken about how both he and Ben had to relearn what fatherhood looks like. We still often see pics of a miserable (probably hangover) Ben…

But his camp is extremely open about his struggle. His sources give an almost monthly update on his day visits to a rehab centre. It was he that disclosed he had a sober companion. And they never phrase it as “he is over the worst”, it’s always “Ben is committed, he will keep tryinh”. Jen is hardly dropping news by…

Oh one of them will definitely run for some level of office one day. Trump becoming President made anything possible. And to be honest, the only thing that could save us is good ol’ misogyny. It’s easier to dismiss female reality stars as friviolous than it is to do so for male wrestlers, comedians, action stars and…

So its now legal for men to whip out their piss sticks on the sidewalk? Ny first encounter with a grown penis was as a 5 year old girl seeing a man pee about 2 feet from where me and my friends were playing. We knew intuitively that we may be in danger so we ran but we saw enough to be very shaken.

Kung Fu Panda is not her vehicle. It’s already hard to link success of animated films to the voice actors but more so when the actor isnt even voicing the main character or even the most beloved supporting character. They all know this, which is why she doesn’t even bother to do the publicity circuit for that…

Well, immediately they broke up she surrounded herself with one of the best crisis teams out there. Starting with Laura Wasser whose real genius is her ability to work the media to force a fast settlement. She is famously tight with Harvey Levin, which is how TMZ used to have the big exclusives told from Angelinas…

Yep. I think her first mistake was running to TMZ with those vague but ominous tellings of an “incident on the plane” two years ago. Either tell the story or don’t; the insinuations just seemed like an attempt to gain an edge in the divorce rather than a sincere need to call out an abuser. If you choose to make vague…

Agreed. It’s shockingly irresponsible for anyone to use language like “nutjob” and “mad woman” on a person who in all likelihood has an untreated mental illness.

I just did. I expected a raving lunatic, I got a woman literally listing the grounds for appeal his lawyer has filed. She is basically just regurgitating that document.

I read her account and honestly don’t feel it’s a MeToo moment. It just sounds like she dated a lying cheat. And his text messages don’t bear out her account so I don’t know why she released them other than to highlight the stuff she was saying to him after the break up. Her son mentions a tape but she doesn't and her…

This. She has an untreated mental illness and doesn’t seem to have a support system that will forcefully intervene. I said the same thing about Kanye here for years and was regularly excoriated here for saying the obvious. In his case, it took his enabling wife being across the country for his friend to get him…

I’m with you regarding Tracey Chapman. Its not villainy that a mother and sister don’t believe their son/brother is a child molester. Its just human psychology. Generally, loving tight nit families struggle to process the worst of a member when the victim is an outsider. It’s not just that they love him or want to…

Yeah, subject matter aside, I found it so unremarkable I barely remember it. Chloe was exceptional though. The one scene I recall is when the creep director lectures her on the “dangers” of feminism. Up until that point she plays the character as a typical over confident know-it-all teen but in that scene, there’s a…
