At first I saw it as Jenny McCarthy and I literally spit chewed up string cheese everywhere.

Totally overrated, while Melissa is totally underrated.

Unpopular opinion: Jennifer Lawrence is unbelievably overrated.

I didn't say there was a conspiracy. I merely expressed understanding for that mentality. When black people are shat on daily, it's not hard to imagine why they wouldn't believe the media, the law or Hollywood when it comes to black men and what they're capable of.

It’s already not ruining his career. It’s not like this rape case is a new thing. It’s been public knowledge since it happened, and he’s had a solid mid-level Hollywood career for years now. (I found out about it because I liked his performance in Beyond the Lights a couple years back, visited his Wikipedia page and…

celeb gossip site ONTD was talking about the case like 2 years ago. and it had been on his wiki page. dont tell me fox searchlight doesnt have an assistant vetting a film maker before dropping 17 fucking million dollars on it

i dont buy for ONE FUCKING SECOND the studio bought the movie without knowing about the allegation.

To be honest, given African-American men’s history of being ill treated by the justice system, rape allegations and hollywood in general, it’s hard for me to be too upset by people who don’t trust the situation.

To be fair (“fair”), black people in general don’t mean anything to some people, either.

Yes this story definitely needs more made up reasons to pit women we’ve never met against each other for having different methods of getting money to the relief.

Preeeetty sure Britney (and all of her money) is still under the control of her conservators... The clothes and signed albums are probably the only thing that is truly hers to give...

I occurred to me literally only a year or two ago that “gypped” is as bad a slur as “Jewed down.” Maybe because we don’t have a lot of Roma here?

I recently read that it’s more common in the U.S. because of how easy it is to doctor-shop with our broken insurance system. Don’t know how true it is but it’s a thinker.

Oh my god. How horrifying. I’ve encountered Munchausen by Proxy once before, when the manager of my mom’s store was finally exposed. At first, she was a totally charming person who was super good at her job. And we all felt terrible for her because her 5 year old son was constantly sick or recovering from something.…

This is another serious question - who was operating on a patient that obviously didn’t have the conditions that would require the operations? It sounds like a serious breach of ethics on the part of the surgeons. The whole thing is heart-wrenching. The daughter should have been taken away from this monster by social…

I’m going to have to disagree with you on that one. It sort of justifies it. I’m not saying she should go free, but 10 years sounds about right to me

This actually sounds like self-defense. I realize it doesn’t fit the legal definition, but given the torture this woman endured at her mother’s hands, is it really so difficult to understand how someone in her position could snap?

Basing one’s thoughts on racial appropriateness on the behaviors of a group of people who were alive back when lynchings were a fun family event isn’t a particularly good idea. But somehow I think you know this already, you disingenuous little scamp.

It’s important to note that she didn’t use “colored people” as an alternative to “black people” but as an alternative to “people of color.” She’s talking about Asians, Latinos, and every other group of film characters that Hollywood casts with white actors. From a simple language standpoint, the leap from “people of…

As an aside.
