On the contrary — she DID accept Natasha’s explanation that it was a term of affection, after nvc posted an apologetic tweet. See:

I’m sorry that you’re offended is one of the shittiest things that other people say. It’s condescending as fuck.

Yep. I really do not appreciate all the communist flag waving here since I’ve had relatives who have DIED from Mao’s rule. I’m just going to stay on Gawker and Gizmodo...

Yes why

It was meant as a term of affection! Jeez!

It’s to be expected from a self proclaimed communist living in the first world.

You’re right he’s a total jackass, on a totally different level. I don’t even need to have met him to know this. But I’ve also heard she’s not the nicest person either. All I said (and there was a lot of tongue in cheek in it) is that it sounds like neither is a cake to be with. Because he’s an abuser, and she’s not,…

Because it wasn’t meat to be smarmy or condescending. She really is a fucking bitch, if even 50% of the stuff is true. And yes, Sean Penn is a fucking asshole known to engage in domestic violence. But that doesn’t mean he ever did that with her. There is no proof of that.

So the hero is the person who provided the cash, and not the person who’s ideas and hard work led to the result?

I ghosted a gf once, but it was a lot her doing. We had previously dated in college, and reconnected like a week prior. First time we’d talked in a couple years, hung out once that week.

I hate to break it to ya, but by all accounts I’ve read, Charlize is nearly as big of an asshole as Sean is. I mean it seemed like they were literally meant for each other, if for no other reason that by getting together they would deprive 2 other people from having to be with them.

I have a dear friend who was ghosted. It was one of the cruelest things I’ve ever seen and it took so much longer to recover that I think it would have from a “regular” breakup.

Except that America, this is Tuesday.

Oh he shot people?

Word.

Most of the TV and Radio shows he presented in the 1990s were produced by his own production company, which when sold netted him about $50m.

He’s that “charismatic” bloke that lent them a car once right?

For British context, Chris Evans is probably more famous - in the UK - than Jeremy Clarkson. He ruled breakfast television in the 90s, ruled Friday evening television in the late 90s, and currently has one of the most listened-to radio shows in the country.

He’d never get a job there, he’s not mentioned any house prices.

Now that is investigative journalism. Have you considered applying to the Daily Mail? They need more people with your skills, Raph.
