Do you really see that identification as such a conscious choice, though? It’s not like she was passing for white. She was just existing. And yes, as she herself says, she got certain privileges out of being light-skinned (not to mention gorgeous), but I feel you’re assigning or implying a certain level of…

The initial installation of her conservatorship was done without any evaluation whatsoever. That was one of the things that her lawyer used to declare the whole set up invalid to make the case for dissolution.  

But it's their whole identity!

Same as any cult-like organization? In times of chaos and turmoil (personal or external), being told what to think and do can provide a sense of security—and someone reached out in a vulnerable time.

It has been so long since I considered the possibility of giving a fuck about something Azealia Banks says or does.

Given the historic take in conservative religious circles that women should quietly tolerate abuse, it’s particularly worrying for an alleged abuser to be all “my life is so hard I can’t even get a taco without someone accusing me of punching Sia, I’m gonna go become a Catholic.”

Considering there stories on both the set of Fury and Lawless about how Lebeouf behaves I am willing to bet there is truth to her account. Whether she specifically fired him to his face for his behavior or decided to seize upon scheduling conflict as an excuse to get rid of him who knows? And any person who has worked…

It’s really telling that she’s doing a lot of handwringing about her children “because they’ll have to see that,” when she is literally the only one of the two children’s parents who has spoken publicly in a disparaging way about the other.
I think a kid is far more likely to have difficulty processing a) reading an…

“there’s a reason I left that relationship.. and that reason’s name is Harry Styles”

This will all look so weird in a couple of years when Styles has moved on.

The profile also makes note of a “14-minute tangent” of Wilde’s which involved how “the cycle of not believing in women stems from the post-Depression ideal of a nuclear family unit led by the father, a deeply internalized system designed to control women.”

So how did she do on her SAT’s?

Will admit I was not expecting anyone to take my comment too seriously. I am sorry if you were offended.

Didn’t they say they weren’t going to get married until gay people could and then got married anyway?

I realize that there is a rush to get these stories published in some misguided belief that “first” matters ... but woah nelly, take a look at the headline. Read it slowly. There are words missing. Words that matter.  [Also in the subheading]

My understanding is that the FBI didn’t file charges because Pitt had scratches on his face. Read that in some article yesterday.

Why was the FBI involved in a domestic dispute?

I think having beer poured on you by your drunk husband in front of your kids is a deserving candidate for 'last straw'.

The idea that men and women in our society—in *any* society—have had similar enough journeys to evaluate their comments in identical contexts is fucking ridiculous, and it’s exhausting seeing it in comment after comment here on Jezebel.

Which is funny, because I think Ted Danson plays pretty much the same character every time I see him on TV.
