IP can’t be stolen?  Please go on...

While this is true, I think the debate is more about personal integrity and patterns of siphoning work without credit and not quite whether or not conducting oneself in such a way is against the law. Of course it’s not illegal to do this, but should one continuously support the work of an artist who might be willing…

if they were selling Euphoria? Yeah, probably. I’m sure it helped tremendously, of course.

Sam Levinson defines the concept of “undeserving nepo-baby.”

Bingo. They’re clearly pissed about that.

And god help me if I have to see more shit-ass comments on this post about how wonderfully magnanimous it is to forgive fucking rapists. It sucks when people you care about do terrible things. No one’s psychic, you may truly be blindsided.

Unequivocally supporting your rapist…

They could have presented “another side “ without gushing about his “character” and making meaningless statements about trusting him with their children. They could have simply stated that their experience of the co-worker and friend they’ve known for decades is different from that presented in the court proceedings,…

“If I had a family member or close friend that was convicted of a crime, even a particularly disgusting one such as rape, it would be pretty hard to refuse a request to write about any redeeming values that might lighten the sentence. It would be akin to disowning them entirely.”
I don’t know if you’re a serial troll…

They can’t really “retract” it, though. They submitted it to a court. Now, it’s an official government record. It’s out of their hands, and it’s permanent. (Also, obviously, the judge already announced the sentence.) This new statement is quite literally too little, too late.

It’s clearly mixed emotions. I think they meant what they said, but they do seem a little irritated, Mila especially. Poor thing had to get up in early in the morning and explain to the internet how two things can be true. (which to be fair, always needs to be explained to the internet).  She can barely look at the…

Ashton Kutcher is absolutely fuming that his time spent telling us that “real men don’t buy girls” a decade ago didn’t buy him a little goodwill here. Isn’t being against some forms of rape enough???

Maybe it’s just me, but that so-called ‘apology’ sure AF comes off as more like they were seriously pissed off having to make it and doesn’t seem sincere at all. Their nice little speech sounds nothing like empathy and more like it’s based in anger. Anger that it got too hot for them and that they had to retract their…

No one knows who they are and Mila and Ashton are A-list.

Maybe don’t use the term “hands on dad” about how a rapist raised his daughter, or “older brother figure to me” (josh duggar comes to mind) when trying to soften the image of a serial rapist.

Innocent until proven guilty is a judicial term. It has no relevance anywhere else. If you had multiple brain cells, you’d know that from, I don’t know, reading a fucking newspaper or book.

A travesty that he’s held responsible for his actions against other people?

Great Interview. I’m glad to see she’s doing well in her writings. I really miss reading her stuff here, she was one of my favorites. That piece about her brother was outstanding and really stuck with me. 

I still vividly remember her story about her brother. Looking forward to reading her book. 

Great interview.

Hard to believe it’s been four years since her essay. A lot more people need to read it. A lot more. Her book sounds like a must-read too. I see a lot of people here in the comments quick to slap those black-and-white labels, especially “racist,” on these toxic communities when there are other, broader terms that are…

Is it weird that I see Sydney and Richie being a thing eventually? She told him he smelled good. There was a weird tension with them from the beginning. Might be crazy but I think Sydney has a thing for the formerly grimy dirtbag cousin.
