He just went old school and bought a building. Now, I don’t care who you are, if you give a school $70M, then everyone in your family should get in.  As long as they have the grades and test scores.  

I would happily be named after a video game character

I’m glad that this Harlow chick can leech her 15 minutes off of Olivia’s misfortune and all, but it just begs the question to Lori...why the fuck didn’t you just let her be a vlogger in the first place.

I’m telling you why it’s a bona fide scandal. I can’t convince you to care, nor do I really want to. Like, people did actual illegal shit. That’s basically what it boils down to. Again, it’s not just “underqualified kids got accepted to universities.” There was genuine fraud involved.

Their parents committed several instances of actual fraud to get them accepted. That’s why there’s a scandal. Like, we’re talking about ringers taking their SATs for them, heads being photoshopped onto other people’s bodies in order to make it look like they participated in various school sports, etc. It was genuinely…

Still, I can’t help but feel slightly sorry for Jade....

All I have to say to this Olivia Jade girl is “Ya basic”! I don’t even really know what that means, but it cracks me up every time I hear it on The Good Place.

I recall people saying that MJ was trying to look like Diana Ross, which to me, made sense. She, after all, was the person who ‘discovered’ the Jackson 5 and was especially close to Michael for many, many years. I remember reading how he idolized her. When he started getting surgeries, the resemblance was certainly…

Well, perhaps go back and read my comment again before you get all wounded and want to leap to Jackson’s defense, because I was talking about when they were kids.

Yup. It’s a massive field, and I live in the state (California) with one of the largest communities of programs for forensics and its varying certifications in the country. Not sure why you’d assume that’s such a stretch — I’ve discussed it plenty of times, usually re: law enforcement issues, in the past here,…

Their dad fucked them up something fierce.

It’s especially vicious because the kind of behaviors that get women labeled “crazy” are usually consistent with trauma. Double victimization.

I have thought that too. I really and truly feel Joe Jackson did some really terrible things to his kids, physically and mentally, and they were all traumatized, especially Michael (who I think got it the worst because he was the golden ticket), and it manifested itself in a lot of different ways.

Although it is quite possible Macaulay is lying and MJ did molest him, it’s also possible that Michael realized that Culkin had too big of a microscope on him to risk going full pedo on him...

Growing up in the 90s taught me to pay attention any time folks seemed super invested in discrediting a woman.

I was still a child in 1993, so I don’t remember much from the first allegations. However, I remember people defending his super weird and creepy behavior by saying he was too child like himself to understand why anyone would accuse him of abuse. Macaulay Culkin continues to deny that MJ abused him but his description…

The public labeling someone speaking about abuse and airing family secrets as “exploiting a personal matter” is why so many people stay quiet about abuse, rape and incest. Who wants to open themselves up to criticism and questions about one of the most painful periods of their life, especially when they feel they…

People always forget both things can be true. Michael was a pedophile and La Toya was exploiting that for her own benefit. It’s not an either or situation.

She's both, a person who fell into an abuse relationship that we've seen with all the Jacksons. Janet has an album about gaining her control. Michael has talked about being afraid of his dad, they all have a history of abuse and we've seen the repercussions of it in their lives. Saying the father is a wonderful man is…
