I am absolutely obsessed with the Mitfords, especially Jessica (who I met and who complimented me on a review I wrote of one of her books and I almost DIIIEEEDD yes I’m bragging because it is the most awesome thing that ever happened to me). Her memoir, Hons and Rebels (sometimes published as Sisters and Rebels), is…
This is her sex tape. Those assholes are going to have a reality tv show when this is all done.
Social media participation is the primary identity for many people like Jade. That’s gone now. The nature of the medium will ensure that no matter what she puts out there, a critical mass of replies will disrupt it. In the span of a few hours, a big chunk of her orientation to the world was obliterated and will likely…
Yup, I kind of agree. The cult of the ideal family is so strong in society that even when it patently doesn't exist in your world (by virtue of abuse) you still have to force it. No matter what your parents do, it seems to be your job to kind of ‘make it go away’ by forgiving them and ‘moving past it’. It is similar…
I’ve dealt with this first hand. I just completed a film about an unsolved missing person’s case, that I’d been working on for six years. This person disappeared while on a class trip, and so I sought to interview his classmates. Some spoke with me, others didn’t, and I wondered why. I wondered, “What do they have to…
I hate that people are shipping Brienne and Tormund and are gleeful whenever they share a scene. Brienne is clearly uncomfortable and doesn’t want any of his advances. That such a crush on such a “manly man” comes across as funny doesn’t make these interactions enjoyable.
I find it noteworthy that both of these men are angrier with their mothers than they are with Jackson.
The only excuse would mental illness. He was a child actor in an acting family, so it isn’t a stretch to believe he has a mental problem. Baring that, he’s a sociopath getting his #metoo moment. All I know is that man broke my heart. Sadly, from the start, I thought WTF?? Who would leave a rope around their neck or…
One alleged motive touted early on was a fear he was soon to be written off Empire, and a (real) incident of this nature would surely have made it awkward to ax him while going through such a trauma...Empire denies this of course, but it holds some merit for me...
yeah, I read a piece today by a psychologist who specializes in this stuff. They were also pretty baffled by this. Apparently faking an illness (since it’s usually an illness that is faked in this scenario) etc for attention is really only ever done by very average people who want to either feel special or recall…
It’s stuff like this that makes me want to actually use the word “sociopath”. Like, I know people throw that word around a lot, but this fits the bill. Everything and everyone in this whole situation were just objects for him to use to achieve his goal.
I mean, yeah we’ve all made bad decisions that we’re ashamed of. But usually it’s something done in the heat of the moment, or out of sheer desperation. But this is something that took a lot of planning out, for the sake of the desperate need of... being able to say you were the victim of a hate crime?
Me too. I’m so perplexed by the motivation and how in the WORLD did he think he would get away with something like this? It sounds like they are also trying to collect evidence that he sent that magazine letter to himself, which would wrack up additional charges. Just an all-around complete and utter shitshow.
Sigh. Now they’re saying he may have sent himself the threatening letter he talked about. If this guy did this, he’s clearly a narcissistic sociopath. I thought it was odd that he was performing and doing interviews so soon after a vicious attack. But then again, he was being accused of lying so I thought he might…
I don’t know where things go from here, but I do know that the inevitable ripped-from-the-headlines episode of Law & Order SVU about this is gonna be LIT.
It is infuriating. He just handed such red meat to the very group he was trying to orchestrate his hoax against. The fuck is WRONG with this person? Is he mentally challenged?
Ok, and?
A stunt like this would have me rethinking my relationship, and not in a “together forever” way.
A ring? A partner?
