I had an 'a-ha!' moment earlier. This is all publicity for their upcoming tour, they're 'On The Run' from the bad publicity!

maybe the star she's talking about is Gwyneth Paltrow, who tells nothing but salubrious stories.

Celebrities are not Gods. They're just people. Often they are assholes. Fame is not a sign that a person is more worthy / valuable / exciting / good to know than anyone else. Fame is just a whimsical mother-fucker who confers public attention on people in a rather haphazard fashion.

Honey, a cop rarely stops people in the case of sexual violence. 18% of reported rapes are prosecuted. 97% of rapists receive no punishment.

You say that like rape kits are always on hand and actually processed.

I always hate these kinds of stories. Because I want to know who it is about.

I think you are so right with this. My whole experience with the police and the legal system was beyond horrible. I was treated reprehensibly. I NEVER should have reported mine, I should have sought therapy and discarded the notion that justice would ever be done.

Oh, honey, you are so not her friend. Paid or otherwise.

"Salubrious" means healthy. The word you want is salacious.

Just a quick comment— sometimes rapists wear condoms. Sometimes your clothes sit in a paper bag on a shelf FOR YEARS before being submitted for any sort of testing. Almost a full year (it will be a year in mid-May) my dress is still sitting in evidence. Yes, I went down to the station and followed up. It had not been…

Agreed. This doesn't sound any different than working for a generally terrible boss in any profession.

Where is the fulcrum?

Apparently "paid hollywood friend" = the latest click bait term for "assistant."

Similar thing happened to my friend in college. She was raped by two co-workers. They sent her texts threatening not to tell. The police told her it was a "waste of time" to press charges because the texts weren't enough evidence, and she should have known better than to be alone with them.

Brah, what utopia do you live in where cops, as a rule, give a shit about rape survivors? Where do you live that rape kits are given priority? Take a look at any other piece on rape on campus, of minors, committed by famous people, and you will find the people that DO care are few and far between, and not in a…

I'm not a psychologist, but here: maybe these dudes are known rapists who haven't been punished by any authorities even if they were reported, and the maker of the list wants to protect other women from predators because the system that you think is so fool-proof didn't work.

"get proof via a rape kit"

Well gosh...thanks! Problem solved.

Not all rapes are violent. Furthermore, with some sex, there will be, to put it crassly, wear and tear. Doesn't mean it was rape. More importantly, the rape that takes place in colleges is usually date rape. Not all date rapes involve drugs and/or alcohol, but a lot of them do. With decreased faculties, it's not all…

Unfortunately for me, your tips got nothing done in my case either.
