Honestly, the price of high-def, big-screen TVs has dropped so much in recent years that I really don’t think this whole thing was worth it.

I need help reconciling something here. This doesn’t have to do with the actual case itself, just more about some of the general opinions I’ve seen in many of the comments that have to do with the idea of slut shaming.

Ava DuVernay talks about how, when she was offered the chance to direct Selma, she was the seventh director they asked. Her budget for the film was $20 million, which was a big jump for DuVernay. She tells a story about meeting a friend, a male director, who had also recently gotten a movie with a larger budget…

You wanted all three to be guilty of assault in order to remain a fan?

Her salary for The Affair of the Necklace is listed as $3 million. She may have been grossly underpaid for Boys Don’t Cry, but she was way overpaid for that flop right after. Each time she won a major award, she proved how little box-office draw she has by headlining a pretty big failure. None of this has to do with…

After her second Oscar win, she was offered a part across from a male lead who had recently become “hot,” but had no critical acclaim. He was paid $10 million and she was offered $500,000.

As many others have said in earlier updates: Thank you, Diana and company, for your refreshingly un-Gawkerish coverage of this...thing. Who knew that an (essentially) otherwise unreported story could make for such a compelling read without editorializing and zero jokes per post? I don’t know if this has been some kind…

I think it was inbetween. I’m sure Doe was under the influence of alcohol [but not pass-out/black-out/slurring/stumbling drunk] and/or weed and coke (they were partying, after all); I suspect she agreed to group sex, and the next day finally put the pieces together that Rose didn’t give a shit about her and basically…

I can’t help but think that the plaintiff’s attorneys overplayed their hand - the theory of the case that Rose and his buddies broke into her apartment to gang rape her sounds fairly incredible.

Good?

Good?

Voting for a third party is doing something. It’s the assholes voting for Trump or Hillary that are literally doing nothing. Also some of us are rallying together and trying to be heard, but it’s hard to get past all the money and influence of the major parties.

Doe argued that the texts she sent to Rose that night were out of character for her and therefore suggest that she was drunk “out of her mind” and unable to consent. It’s fair game for Doe’s attorneys to seek to rebut that by pointing to other text messages where she says similar things.

I’m pretty sure i’d be charged with contempt of court from laughing every time I heard an attorney read this line out loud.

It seems like there MAY have been a sexual assault, or maybe Jane Doe just decided that she’d have sex with Rose and his friends then cry rape later. For the sake of future rape victims, I hope this isn’t the case. But based on the text message that was leaked to Baller Alert, she absolutely comes off as a gold…

Especially considering the article I just read... fuck rose for getting mixed up with a woman who needed a new tv and couch that badly. Only IKEA employees for you from now on, derrick!

Ya, fuck that whole innocent until proven guilty thing, ammirite?

Diana thank you for keeping this story front & center, it is not really being reported on that heavily.

Yes, but that’s kind of the point.

Hogwarts, duh!
