For part time work, where the mother is around? I’m from NY, that’s generous, especially considering she has no background in child development.

Other people have responded to you. She was not underpaid. I say this as someone who spent summers nannying for the same kind of people. I worked (full time as opposed to Yoselyn Ortega’s part time) and made the same amount. And Mrs. Krim was there a majority of the time. Yoselyn Ortega was a glorified mother’s helper.

If your biggest complaint about your employer is that they offer you more work to make more money, that’s a pretty sweet gig. I have stories of being drunkenly raged at by an employer at 3 am, another commenter had money taken from her by an employer. Her complaints are nothing burgers and it’s an insult, not just to…

What I’m disagreeing with is you saying the Krims weren’t good to her. They did nothing cruel or unusual to her. She was jealous of their life and their money and that’s on her, not them.

They paid her, they offered her extra work to earn more money, they hired her sister and flew her back to the DR to visit her family. Again, they’re her employers, not her friends. They’re not accused of abusing her, they just didn’t read her mind that she expected money for nothing.

I’ve had a physically abusive employer and somehow, I never tried to murder them or their children. By the logic of some of these commenters, I should be deified for this.

Why the fuck would they offer an employee money for nothing? They weren’t her friends, they weren’t her family. I would never expect my employer to loan me money.

You can’t afford to pay your rent, there’s several good public high schools in your neighborhood and you send your son to private school? Yes, that’s poor financial decisions.

This article is incredibly unfair to the Krims. No, Yoselyn Ortega’s complaints weren’t legitamite. She made bad financial decisions; she sent her son to expensive private schools, she chose to sublet from a someone who kicked her out shortly after she moved in. They paid her, they offered her extra work when they…

According to her Wikipedia, she filed for divorce in 2010 and withdrew it. He also Tweeted a few days ago about Wilson Phillips playing a benefit with Kenny Loggins. Rock on, Wilson Phillips.

I completely agree about how bad he is as host of The Essentials. William Friedkin showed him up so badly.

Reading Billy Baldwin’s Twitter feed, especially after reading Alec’s, is a balm. I also love that he and Chyna Phillips are still friends with Mama Cass’s daughter.

He’s the host of The Essentials on TCM and he’s awful. He makes terrible points about the movies and a lot of time doesn’t seem interested in them. And yet somehow I always end up defending him against the rabid Boomer conservatives who spam the TCM Facebook page. I think he’s a terrible person but I don’t want angry…

Meghan Markle is truly living the millennial woman’s dream. Good for her.

I believe you mean the paid PR bots? I love it when they pop back up, out of nowhere, with either no comment history or a history of only passionate Woody Allen defenses.

My husband knows a woman (American) who is weirdly obsessed with England. She tells everyone she meets about how the greatest day of her life was the day she “met” the Queen on a walkabout (and by “met,” I mean she stood there and cried while QEII shuffled by.) She also hated Meghan Markle with a passion, constantly…

There’s a part of me that wants to find it the names, photos and addresses of the mother fuckers who harass Sandy Hook parents and poster their neighborhoods with their names, face, address and a series of their emails and Tweets to the parents.

His food tastes were much fancier than the Simpsons would lead you to believe.

I love that every Baltimorean has a John Waters story. And a House of Cards story but we can’t talk about those anymore. Thanks, Spacey!

I was shoulder to shoulder with John Waters at a fancy bar in Baltimore. I can assure you that he doesn’t have bad breath and smells amazing. I didn’t want to be a creeper and ask him what his cologne is but this was a few years ago now and I still wonder about it.
