why did this take 11 years to go to trial?

Are any of his conspirators/enablers being charged with anything as well? Like this manager of his who went above and beyond to basically sex traffic a minor to R. Kelly (for which I believe, in this case, was probably not the first or last time).

Totally. It’s about being kind to yourself. Treating yourself with love.

Girl same! Im a queer black latina and I could relate to their straightest, whitest men in that respect. I could specially relate to the self-deprecating groom from this season, and Myles from last season with the messy room.

Yeah true, prob not the only reason, but I wanted to point out there was an additional reason for the backlash.

Oh for sure! It definitely can contribute to toxic masculinity. And I honestly think so far, the guys they’ve helped are more aware than that, and want to do better, but they literally don’t even know where to start, and the Fab 5 teaching them they can just start with themselves, doing simple things, makes it way…

@Gwen Ihnat

Many people are saying it’s not the vegan diet that caused her health problems, it’s her lack of proper nutrition and the ill-advised 20-day water fast she went on. Most of her vegan fans are mad that she chose to do unhealthy things with her diet and is now making it seem it only had to do with being vegan, and not…

Exactly. Very well said. I also don’t get why this concept gets so questioned. It’s not a selfish practice at all, it’s literally about not neglecting yourself, and shedding whatever societal pressure or guilt that’s preventing you from prioritizing your wants/needs on the most basic levels.

First of all, LOVE your username. Also, kudos for reading through my lengthy and type-o ridden post and understanding what I was trying to communicate, haha. I completely agree with what you’re saying, specially this, “Very, very few people are unselfish to the degree that when sunk into such states of depression they…

I personally think if the Fab 5 just focused on telling them to execute the basic responsibilities of just being an average accountable adult, that some of the men they were helping would still not grasp it. I find it is was more effective of them to use the “Self Care” angle to introduce concepts like that to…

You can still use the code when you are not in view, or earshot of the threatening date.

True. But they can still “ask for Angela” when they are away from the guy. 

Have you ever been in a position to have to turn down a man nicely? I can only speak from a woman’s perspective, and say it’s not always that simple.

Perhaps by asking for help they can sneak them out another way, and stay with them till they are sure they have gotten a safe ride home. Or depending on the case the bar could kick them out, call the person who asked for help a cab, and make sure they get in it safely. Obviously depending on the situations there are…

I read a story of a flight attendant noticing a frightened looking girl being accompanied with an older man, so she slipped the girl a note that told her to meet her in the bathroom (or something like that) and it turned out she was being flown somewhere to be trafficked. Having a sign like that can help women and…

She didn’t even know “clout” wasn’t a slang term either. So she learned two words!

I think spitting on someone is one of the most offensive and humiliating things you can to to another person. Hope someone does file an official report on this incident, and she gets what’s coming to her. Such hateful behaviour.

Ohhh! thanks gain! ‘cause tbh really wan’t understanding the google results either, haha.

OMG! That’s terrifying!! Thank you so much for explaining that for me. I still don’t know what “stalling” means in plane terms, but hopefully google could help me on that, haha.
