Oh look, it’s the worst take. Glad we got that out of the way.

Nope. If he simply shut the fuck up from the jump, he wouldn't be relentlessly hounded. He's not young enough or famous enough or beautiful enough or rich enough for the paparazzi to care about him at all if he'd simply kept his mouth shut at the beginning. The only reason they continue to go to him is because he…

LOL NO.

For all we know, Meghan or someone from the palace did try to prepare him. They probably told him not to speak to the media, but he's doing it anyway. If he would quit talking, I think interest in him would fafe pretty quickly. If all the paps could get are pictures of him buying groceries or walking on the beach, no…

Nah, that whole side of her family is a bunch of attention-seeking narcissists that are desperately trying to control her narrative.

Yeah, look at how her mom’s life is totally ruined....OH WAIT. Even though the woman volunteered to appear at the wedding in front of millions (billions?) she’s doing just fine because she hasn’t given public statements, while asshole Father is “suffering” because he won’t shut his mouth.

Nope. All he had to do was keep his mouth shut. Not easy, perhaps, but doable, and if you make yourself a nonstory reporters aren’t going to bother past a certain point--they’ve got deadlines to meet.

Please! His daughter married someone, that’s all. No matter how fascinated the press was about it, all he had to do is say, “No comment.”for a few weeks and they would have gone over to pester someone else. Instead he and his other kids have started yapping which now ensures the paps will be glued to their front lawns.

This just makes me think you don’t have any idea what’s appropriate behavior for a father towards his daughter.

No. He is creating this mess. No one should feel sorry for him. 

The entire maternal side of Meghan’s family seems to be managing just fine without turning into a salty, thirsty, embarrassing hot mess.

Which is a perfect example of why all of us (married or not, with kids or without) should be pushing for things like universal paid family leave - because this shit should be automatic, not contingent on having coworkers who both care enough and have the time to spare.

Same. Late thirties here, no kids, got married at the courthouse. I’m getting a little tired of spending time/money celebrating other people’s life events. I couldn’t imagine giving vacation time to a coworker, and I don’t really care if that makes me selfish.

You say selfish bitch (like it’s a bad thing), I say we have healthy boundaries.

Yeah, this is nice but no.  I’m not giving my vacation time to someone else.  Mostly because I’ve spent a lot of money and energy celebrating other people’s marriages and kids and will never get any of that back since I’m perpetually single and have no interest in having children at all.  Yes, I’m a selfish bitch and…

Yep.  I often wonder when we can officially recognize GoFundMe as the preferred healthcare company in America. 

And unfortunately too many people will interpret that commercial to mean “See, you don’t need the government to guarantee sick/family leave, pay, or health insurance. Let the free market decide.”

This and the GoFundMes for people to be able to afford basic life-saving medications/surgeries

This is basically a bright shiny commercial for how fucked up america is right now.

I never understood why his attack on the woman who went unconscious, and woke up with her nether regions exposed, laying on the floor of his office, was classified as mere “misconduct” by the press. If some one having sex with you while you’re unconscious isn’t rape, what is?
