The thing I honestly keep coming back to in all of this - and it’s a question that may never be answered - is, are women not buying or wearing her clothes because they don’t want to be associated with Marchesa or because there is no longer an ax over their head telling them they have to?

Not sure I’m the person you want to respond to then because I don’t necessarily disagree with the tone of the post. I’ll say I 100% don’t think she should be held responsible for her husband’s actions and sexual assaults (full stop on that), but there are things I believe she did in relation to making her label what…
Ummm...just because something “happens everywhere” doesn’t mean that people shouldn’t be called out when they get caught doing it. I mean, shit, sexual harassment “happens everywhere,” should we just let it go? That the lazies excuse there is for allowing bad behavior.
Yeah. I absolutely do not blame Georgina Chapman for the fact that Weinstein is a rapist and an overall horrible human being. I don’t blame her for the things he did to his victims and I don’t blame her for his temper or intimidation tactics EXCEPT when he bullied women into wearing her clothes to get the brand off…
Totally fair point, and I agree. I think her following helped to propel her forward a little more after she was on the show and that was something she maybe had over on the other girls who haven’t gone further, but I do question the idea that it didn’t help at all. That being said, I don’t remember her as the most…
I think that’s a narrative that other people tried to push in the aftermath. At the time it was pretty clear that in his (probably pretty drunk) mind that he just thought Beyonce should have won.
No...I think they saw some she had personally posted, BUT that is one of the bigger differences between her and some of the other girls. She already had an online presence. If I remember correctly, that’s how ANTM found her to begin with. So what she got from the show might be quite different from what someone who…
Ummm. It was the VMAs and while it doesn’t change the fact that his behavior was childish and stupid it was actually more about thinking Beyonce specifically should have won, not black artists as a whole or “destroying” Taylor specifically. This is what people are talking about with the victim narrative surrounding…
I agree to a point, but in the beginning she did also make it sound like the “made that bitch famous” line was part of the problem...and specifically the “famous” part. There are tons of think pieces on her Grammy’s speech where she tried to be slick and say something about people taking credit for other’s…
There’s an odd irony in the fact that Kanye might do more damage to the Kardashian’s reputation and business than they’ve ever done to his.
You might be right (I disagree, but I might be wrong) if not for this:
There’s a part of me that wonders if it really is the death of his mother, but not necessarily in the way that people think or have projected. I suspect that yes, he does have legitimate mental health issues and that they were exacerbated by his mother’s death, but I also don’t think there are people around him…
I think there is a great benefit to showing kids “This is what a fucking busybody looks like. Did you like it when someone was all up in your business, for no reason? No? Good. Don’t be that person. And also, assume that everyone else IS that person, and be ready for it.”
The only problem with that is deciding on what, exactly, is professional.
Agreed. I think she’s the product of a mother who was both too controlling and too permissive and now she’s trying to find the correct balance in her own life without her mother’s control. If the worst thing she does is show her ass and dress “too sexy” then she’s got a lot of other people with mommy and/or daddy…
I feel like there is a degree to which Kim is the albatross they all sort of deserve to have hang around their necks...Sheree, Nene, and Kandi all gave her cover for her bullshit when they should have dropped her ass off in a parking lot like a stray dog and carried on with their lives.
I was honestly so confused when I heard she was going to be on this season. She clearly doesn’t want to be there, she clearly isn’t needed for ratings, and the other women clearly don’t want her there. I’m not sure what the goal was with that.
This! Most of the time I am completely, 100% against posting videos or images of other people’s kids online, but when your kids are bullying another kid and taking videos with their own phones while doing it, nope! Post that shit for all to see. I’m actually more concerned about her child in this situation than the…
