@rednrowdy: It's a question of whether you are impaired in one or more major life activities and can be accommodated. It's easy to accommodate a person with diabetes — not so easy with a person with a mental illness, although in some settings it is possible.

@WashingMyHair: She's trying to buy things to feel better, I suspect. She's a terribly silly woman and she would do well to get a strong dose of reality.

@Peppermint: Oh, well, if it's their beat then *of course* they have the right to slag off the mother of a dead soldier.

Armchair warriors often fail, as the song goes, and so does the writer of this post. The last line destroys any point he thought he was making which is....what? That Fox News didn't go insane for once? That's hardly worth the inkjet, and really, no reason to slag off a woman whose son actually died in Iraq — and…

@brokenscope: Yes. What an incredibly shitty note to end on.

@WashingMyHair: Classy with a backwards K.

This event has always seemed like a gang rape waiting to happen, to me. I recognize that she's a famewhore and that she's unreliable, but this story rang true to me from the start.

@queenhobart: Did you watch the show? I think she did in fact write it herself, like the two before it.

She was pregnant and getting married and writing a book. Why the hell wouldn't she cry?

A well, James L. Brooks — explains how this can look so good. He's great.

Dina, you are not helping. Just stfu and help your kid get better. No one is buying what you are selling.

@bitchyolympian: There is a concentrated audience for this kind of hatred and ranting — just like there's a concentrated audience for Fox News's evil pandering. I don't know that the numbers are that large a percentage of the population, it's just that they are committed and adoring of the scum that feed their…

Phoenix's show was better!

@JinxyMcDeath: Oh please, I practice in the backwater of Chicago. Let's not be patronizing. And as for contingency, what are her damages? They are certainly vague about what financial wrongdoing they are talking about, apart from keeping samples too long, and if she has gotten work since the show aired, there may…

@miss_sassy_pants: Unless she signed a non-solicitation agreement, there's nothing wrong with that. It's how lots of people get work when they have moved on from a job.

@poodlescoot: Agreed. And the vague way they referred to her having done something wrong financially tells me it's not as solid as they are implying. A

@That-Dude: The piece is trying to compare the saturated coverage of the triangle to the paucity of coverage of situations like the Keys/Beats one. The comparison is plainly an effort to draw an analogy.

@JinxyMcDeath: Well, first, she is unlikely to have known they were saying this until the show aired. It's not like they were in communication. Second, in order to have a claim for slander, she'd have to be able to show they published false information, which they arguably didn't do until last night. Finally, you…

@SNEAKERS: Again, though, why would they be outraged that she was working with people she knew who clearly were no longer working with Zoe? I don't know what the rules are either, but this all seems way too much dramz.

I have no doubt that there's racism in the gossip world, but I don't think the analogy to Brad-Jen-Angie really works. All three of those people were well known and hugely in the public eye before the scandal struck, so part of the reason it resonates and sells is that people feel in some way like they know these…
