I’m just happy for anyone who can live their truth. However, that awful shade of pink lipstick Eddie is wearing in that other article needs to go. Years ago she did a colab with MAC Cosmetics England. I don’t remember the name of the color but it was a blackened red and came in a lipstick and gloss.

It’s possible she is having a complete break with reality, and it is more possible that she has exaggerated in her own mind certain aspects of the relationship. But the simplest explanation, to me, is that a manipulative asshole who is in jail for fraud saw someone he could manipulate to his own ends, i.e. receiving…

There’s so much to unpack in that article.

This whole thing is Harley Quinn-Joker levels of insanity and tragedy. This woman needs help.

Eddie Izzard was positively diabolical as Grandpa Munster in Mockingbird Lane, the 2012 reboot of “The Munsters”. It was based more on reality (as much as it can be with a family of monsters) than the 60s sitcom, and was very dark. Warped, even. We loved it.

Right? This would end with my 4yo daughter saying she wants to watch another episode of Pokemon, and me needing to yet again say that she can’t do that right now because it is bedtime, launching her into another bout of wailing.

Lately the best strategy against THAT lately is to not say “no” to her request and…

At the risk of being overly cynical, does this work because of the technique, or because it ends with the toddler getting exactly what he wanted in the first place?  I say from my own (painful and ongoing) experience that a lot of, if not most, toddler tantrums stem from wanting something and not being able to have it…

His writing is eloquent and nuanced, and does a really good job of telling exactly how he felt during and after his experience with the show. Larter’s response, when it came, is deep-dish bullshit: centring HER feelings of being “heartbroken”, and offering the smarmy non-apology of being sorry for what she MAY have…

Navigating sexual politics on set seems like a minefield. The standard should be everyone has control of how much one is willing to expose in any given situation. This includes the ability to change your mind on a whim without having to explain yourself. The scene only required a suggestion of intimacy which could…

It’s just a coincidence that she was fine discussing intimate scenes with a white co-star, even being open to improvising, and left a Black lead entirely out of the (shouted) discussion of how disrespected she felt about being asked to show bare shoulders in a scene with her character’s husband. 

Almost invariably means “we will work you shamelessly hard, and expect you to do it for love not overtime pay.”

Respect. No happy marriage exists without it.

Totally starring that last sentence. It is fucking exhausting having to be the outlet for my husband’s needs because he’s too scared to make friends.

“We’re a family” is always a coercive tactic...

This is one of the better reports, in that it does not blame it all on Ali Larter. The black man vs white woman wins quote exposes the false scarcity of opportunities created when minorities are pitched against each other. Ali Larter could be disrespectful to Leonard Roberts because the show runners already signaled…

After “Heroes” became a success, our scripts came with a warning of our immediate dismissal, should any material ever be disclosed. “REMEMBER … WE’RE A FAMILY AND A FAMILY IS ONLY AS STRONG AS THE SECRETS WE KEEP” each script read.

Given who his grandfather is, I’m shocked he even got four months. This whole event is just so awful from start to finish. I’m not even a religious person, but in this case, I hope that Daisy and Audrie are somewhere filled with warm sunshine and puppies. And I hope Melinda is there with them. The worst part of this…

I sent this in earlier through the tip email because I didn’t want Barnett to have the last word. Also, as a rape survivor, I wanted to talk about it and figure out why this hurt so much. When I think of all the trauma we’ve all been through this year, it’s places like this that help me see that I’m not alone in a…

Fascinating. Harriet the Spy was one of my favorite books as a kid and when I reread it as an adult, I was surprised at how sad it is. Never knew anything about the author, because who did before the age of social media?

Some more context on her time in that office, from the AP:
