Why anyone would use a real person’s name in this fictional story but lie about her achievements is beyond me.

It just seems so weird that they felt they needed to use a real person but in an inaccurate way. You can’t claim authenticity when you take a real person and then change their story because it doesn’t suit your purpose.

Gaprindashvili probably doesn’t have a legal case here, but it still feels like Netflix did her dirty. The line mentioning her only playing women is the only acknowledgement she gets in the whole movie, which sucks considering that the main character is partly based on her; specifically on the fact that Gaprindashvili…

Yeah it depressingly doesn’t sound baffling at all quite frankly. There’s no reason whatsoever for the boyfriend to stay silent unless there’s something that would incriminate him in some way and the lawyer’s excuse is obvious BS.

That lawsuit against Manson was one of four, and it was dismissed due to the statute of limitations. Per Rolling Stone: Judge Dismisses One Lawsuit Accusing Marilyn Manson of Sexual Assault; Rocker [currently] faces three additional sexual assault suits

To me he always looks like a sleazy dude who cheats on his wife. Which he supposedly did one too many times. She filed for divorce once and then withdrew, hoping to work things out. She deserves better. 

Lock me up!

Not something I’d personally put in a “Dirt Bag”

It’s almost as if people were waiting their entire lives for a makeup brand to actually give a shit about color ranges being inclusive

I’m in ScarJo’s corner, but only because I think the landscape of entertainment like this is changing drastically. I don’t think theaters are going to disappear, but I think more and more people will prefer to watch first run movies at home. Contracts in the cinema industry for blockbusters like this have had a long…

I saw someone on Twitter say this, but: If you accuse a corporation of breach of contract, and that corporation responds by immediately referencing COVID, that corporation 100% breached that contract.

The landlord seemingly, pending confirmation of that filing - which wasn’t accomplished by the deadline for submitting this article. So you’re reading speculation ... but it’s about a reality show persona so not really something with stakes that would require rigorous adherence to journalistic process, right?

I’m guessing the sued part was her former landlord accusing her of immoral behavior as a way to get her to move out. He might have dropped the word “sued” informally, but didn’t actually go through with filing in court. It’s a really shady tactic by landlords because the process itself takes a long time, and if the…

Kitchenette goes, Pissing Contest goes, but Dirt Bag is apparently not going anywhere.

This feels more like TMZ than I’d like to see here, if I’m being honest.

Right - its someone claiming they are being abused, monetarily drained, and legally controlled by their family due to a disability and the article reads like a Jan and Marsha fight...

Came here to say this, too. Jezebel is once again talking out of both sides of their mouth. You don’t get to claim to support Britney, and then go back to the same gossip and trash-talk that is literally the poison running through her entire life. Do better. 

Thank you for this. I’m in consistently unimpressed with just how tasteless and awful Dirt bag posts can be, especially on such matters. This shit is especially awful.

I understand that this is dirtbag, so the flippant tone is expected, but it seems oddly callous and weird to me that you’re treating a situation involving alleged guardianship abuse as a sibling rivalry. If Britney Spears’ testimony is anything to go by, she holds her entire family responsible for the abuse she has…

I actually hope we don’t see the rebirth. I want her to have privacy as she sorts through the trauma of what’s she’s had to endure to achieve freedom. I hope she has a chance to fade as much out of the limelight as she likes, and maybe in 20 years we’ll have a happy-ending “Where Is She Now?” article pop up on…
