As a long time bartender, wrapping someone up in a bear hug and walking them out usually saves that someone’s drunk obnoxious shit-talking ass from getting beat. Badly. As well as protecting everyone else in the room.

He’s known for throwing shit and being awful, but I don’t remember hearing anything for a few years now. Even still, she threatened to stab him in the neck with a wine glass. I think being physically removed from the room is about as reasonable of a response one could expect.

Nah, even RZA is corroborating Crowd’s version of events and she was his plus one. Banks has a long history of starting shit with people and then acting as though she was the one who was really under fire. It’s her M.O.

Sure, if you don’t believe people can change or work on their issues. The last “altercation” on that wiki page was over ten years ago.

I am guessing she started threatening people. He told her to go. She wouldn’t. He picked her up in a bear hug, carried her to the door and tossed her out. Then slammed the door shut.

I mean, what are you supposed to do if a dinner party guest starts talking about stabbing your other guests in the neck and makes a move to start smashing dishes? Just let her wreck the place? Wait for her to hurt someone?

Have you been to Banks’ wikipedia page?

I have little empathy for people who use mental illness as a get-out-of-jail-free card for abominable behavior. She’s shown on multiple occasions how she can be incredibly racist, misogynistic, homophobic, transphobic and those are not traits that automatically come with the territory of being mentally ill. If…

Chalking up every form of assholery to “mental illness” is both hugely insulting to people who are mentally ill

Fuck that. Google azealia banks mental illness: first thing that comes up is a screed she wrote about why calling zayn malik slurs was a way to fight whiteness and help him get #woke. If this woman is mentally ill she’s never publicly confirmed it and we shouldn’t act like she is on the basis of this behavior.

I don’t know what mental illness Azealia Banks does or does not suffer from, but to my knowledge Lindsay Lohan has never used homophobic or racial slurs as part of her public persona, even during her breakdowns.

You’re really going to use Lindsay Lohan as an example of someone who’s had an easy ride in the public eye?

I don’t recall people as being particularly forgiving of Lindsay Lohan or Amanda Bynes, for that matter. I’m not sure this is the right example to drag out to make your point.

It’s your responsibility to get help if you have a mental illness. You can’t run around and be violent and destructive, and people are going to continue to feel sorry for you. That’s not how the world works...

Bipolar =/= mean.

Being in a manic state does not make you nasty or bigoted. Rather, it removes the filter that would normally keep those negative aspects of someone’s personality on the inside.

My best friend is bipolar and has been involuntarily hospitalized twice during two particularly upsetting manic episodes. He…

My mother is a schizophrenic. But she’s also an arsehole. And being an arsehole is why she’ll be alone this Christmas. Mental illness isn’t a get out of jail free card forever.

Serious question though, whether mentally ill or not, she’s fucking mean. Where do we draw the line between being mentally ill and a fucking asshole? If I met her in real life and she said the things I’ve seen her say about me/ about other people, I would just think she’s an asshole.

Is she though?

i wish people would stop using the mcdonalds case because that isnt even what the issue was

Sorry to be nit picky, but the McDonald’s coffee thing is a pet peeve of mine. The case was badly reported in the media, the issue wasn’t that there was no warning about the coffee being hot. It was a defective product lawsuit, because some idiot at McDonald’s turned the heat up until it was literally scalding hot.…
