The people of Louisiana probably don’t care if it is for publicity or to rehab her image or whatnot. They’ll take it.

As Megan said in the article, it’s going to motivate her fan base to give. And yes, it looks good on her too.

I’m sure someone will find a way to shit on Taylor Swift for this.

Let me mansplain your rape for you. It wasn’t actually rape you enjoyed my dick in your mouth its totally fine you don’t remember.

As a victim of rape (and a woman of colour), I was unable to get through the whole transcript. I feel like throwing up, to be perfectly honest.

A guy once told me how he had sex with a girl who changed her mind half way through and cried afterwards. He called it “bad sex” while I scrambled to pick my jaw up from the floor. He just thought it was an annoying incident, a nuisance. Needless to say I ghosted him and warned mutual friends about him. But I suspect…

I usually don’t gripe about people constantly “you know what I’m saying?” at the end of every sentence, because it’s a habit, but maaan.

Oh damn. Fuck this asshole. Those transcripts are sickening. That poor girl.

Yup and yet here he is acting like a victim

I’m sorry, but his statement sounds so disingenuous. The fact that he keeps emphasizing his innocence instead of focusing on the tragedy of this woman’s suicide is just frustrating. By referring to himself as a “father of daughters” and a “person of faith,” he continues to depict a morally superior version of himself,…

Wow. That transcript is fucking brutal. That poor woman.

“I’m profoundly sorry I’m getting called on my shit and may experience slight discomfort my shite behavior has been exposed to the world”

As a black woman I have to get this off my chest. If I see one more black man say this shit was brought up because of Birth of a Nation I am going to scream! I have known about this for at least 3 or 4 years you didn’t want to know don’t start with the conspiracy theories.

So much this.

It’s a particularly galling assertion given that a witness - a friend of Parker and Celestin - testified that the victim was clearly unconscious.

He is unambiguously determined to make sure Fox Searchlight and Sundance stay unambiguously in his corner and audiences unambiguously embrace his film with unambiguous sexual violence and an unambiguous $17.5M + marketing to unambiguously recoup.

“I should have used more wisdom.”

I just...there really aren’t any words. I will not be supporting this man or his career in any way, for whatever that is worth.

How is Jezebel still writing posts on this story in such ambiguous terms? It seems no other case with such clear evidence (multiple witnesses, him inviting other attackers, intimidating her, not taking responsibility) would get anywhere near this type of reception. I get that we want to be supportive of a…

There are a lot of “I” statements in this statement. Hm.
