Jez is not reporting on her mental illness. They are reporting on the exploitation by doctor Phil.

No, no I did not as I said, to take an extreme example. Just because things are distasteful, awful, don’t deserve the attention they get does not mean that we as a society do not benefit from these things remains unexposed.

Did you really just equate Dr. Phil to Syria

But it’s called reporting. I mean, to use and extreme example, 30 seconds of the Syrian war would show us its awful but should we not report on the whole thing?

Oprah is a shameless opportunist and it is about time she was called out for it. She preys on society’s most vulnerable members and feeds them consumerist pablum as way to ‘fix’ their problems.

These tropes are getting very tired and it just points to lazy writing. It would be much more compelling to find something to develop a woman’s character that doesn’t include rape/abortion/murder.

So the most important thing about this movie is that Hollywood is coming clean that Amy Adams and Isla Fisher are the same person?

Don’t know about y’all, but I LOVE the aesthetic of a freshly raped and murdered woman, so I am HERE FOR THIS.

No, thank you. The very last thing this world needs is the glamorization of rape.

Agreed. Toxic people want interaction because they don’t know the difference between good relating and bad relating. To them, it’s relating. They’re the kinda people you gotta ghost with and then don’t even try to look back. No sentimentality, no checking in. Disappear and scorch the earth behind you.

Too often people mistake “person I’ve known the longest/am related to” as someone who must stay in their life, no matter what. This gal isn’t your “best friend” and hasn’t been in a long time. Breaking up friendships/relationships, etc. is usually painful because it was an important part of/time in your life; but I…

My fear for Anxiety Monster is that her “friend” will not let her get off with such a simple email. If she’s truly a drama queen, she’ll rage at her on social media and be ruthless when talking about her to their mutual friends.

My fear for you is that she would take over your wedding. Not necessarily with her presence, but your fears of what will happen and how to get around her difficult personality.

I haven’t read her in a while but I don’t remember being overly wowed by her other novels. I will try this one since my tastes have changed with time, and the premise sounds interesting.

I think that’s the most egregious mistake of all because back when she brought Dr Phil to her show he wasn’t this bad. He was much more light hearted and didn’t take himself too seriously. Then as the seasons passed, he became so unbearable and exploitative. I don’t think that’s in her hands. But the anti-vax…

Oh my lard, this sounds like a Below Deck episode and I beg you for details.

Oh my fucking god I worked in the State Street Barnes & Noble in Santa Barbara (not far from where O lives in the mountains of Montecito above us plebes) and we moved stack after stack of that shitty, awful book because of her. Credulous dingbats with more dollars than sense would by them a dozen at a time. To give to…

Only because you refuse to think positively about the law of attraction. Open your horizons, man.

Yeah, I feel like taking a shower after watching that. Mental health treatment should not be televised. How is that even something that needs to be said, particularly to a guy who at one point received actual medical training?

The fact that he’s airing this is DISGUSTING.
