They may be long winded, but nowhere near as delusional as the “believe every woman” stans that defend Amber and her nonsense to the bitter end.

The purpose of the disclaimer is for the audience. Guthrie made the same disclaimer when she interviewed the Depp team last week (who obviously would have known already). I’m assuming the interview was done after the Depp team interview aired and would have known that way at minimum but it should have been disclosed…

I mean, the counterpoint is that Amber’s team really did not have to pick Guthrie. They were part of picking where she would do the sitdown.

I’m not saying I believe Depp. But frankly speaking, this...

Wonder how the judge will react to her doing exactly what the jury in her case found to be defamation, again, before the case is even settled. You know, jez there’s a 50/50 chance that Johnny is the the one telling the truth and the dogged holding on to the idea that a woman can’t lie is getting to be misogynistic…

God, this. All the people here in the “believe all women” camp should fucking HATE her for lying and ruining that narrative. As you pointed out, if you lie on the stand and they clearly catch you, it’s over.

Exactly. I actually came into this wanting to believe her badly but her story just didn't add up, not even remotely.

“How could they, after listening to three and a half weeks of testimony about how I was an un-credible person, not...believe a word that came out of my mouth?”

You’ve made really good points, and said what I have been struggling to articulate myself.

So it turns out that the very organization and activists are doing work behind the scenes on masking and shielding the very perpetrators that it’s supposed to be fighting against.

I hope Tara Reade is enjoying a well-deserved helping of schadenfreude.

Tina Tchen was also the one who contacted Kim Cook on behalf of Jussie Smollett’s family in order to get his charges for filling a fake hate crime report dropped. She seems less an activist than a fixer for rich people.

It’s stories like this that keep QAnon-style massive conspiracy theories going. If I already believed there was a secret cabal of political & celebrity elites who formed an international pedophile/trafficking ring, this would just be an extra squirt of gasoline on the fire.

Yeah, that bit is odd - while mental health issues might explain bad/abusive behavior, they don’t excuse it, or oblige others to forgive it.  She can champion mental health issues but still not be able to forgive her own abusers.  

I want to acknowledge you, my PTSD sister or brother. I have a similar narrative and experience as you. Thank you for so clearly articulating the danger of the forced binary that there is only ONE way to recover. My choice to focus on somatic therapy, recovering from and resolving my personal traumas and learning to…

Fuckin’ a, man. I’m glad you’re getting through it.

The other people and I were specifically talking about BP because of Lovato’s being open about having it. And yes, there are different levels of BP, and there’s BP1 and BP2. I also think it’s a diagnosis that has been thrown around a lot and plenty of people that have been misdiagnosed. Sure, everyone is different,…

Do you have bipolar? Because if not, it’s very different. Smoking weed all the time basically makes the meds not work, so it’s almost like you’re unmedicated. It also puts that person in a situation where as soon as the high wears off, the BP kicks in hard. Alcohol, with a lot of BP medications, can destroy your…

I’m so glad I saw this review, because this is not something I normally would have watched. But I just finished episode 1 and my goodness, this is so compelling. And I hope it helps people. They’re talking about addiction in such an unvarnished way, it’s really refreshing and I think will connect with a lot of people.…

Does she not have every right to “shun” her abusive father, regardless of his mental health status...?
