I imagine that they want to finally be able to tell their side of their own story without being muzzled by Royal protocol. And far, far more people will watch/hear that story via an interview with Oprah than via any newspaper article.

Um...it’s a primetime interview. With Oprah. When you have a business (or more) to promote, a ton of malicious bad press, and an entire media ecosystem heavily invested in your downfall, you need a life profile appearance like this to even the playing field. You need to make sure your appearance is more prominent than…

I haven’t read that, but now I’m interested.

Oh Christ...they STILL don’t know he tossed them under the bus. Every excerpt I see off their godforsaken websites is talking about how HE was betrayed by everyone else and thus couldn’t join them all in rioting, or something. These people are dumber than a bag of rocks.

Wait, paintballs were used against rioters? Did that happen? Does that ever happen?

These were, without any doubt, a collection of some of the dumbest people this country has to offer.

Michetti probably thought by telling his ex about his wanna-be Rambo activities, that she would get all excited and take him back and they’d be boning tout suite. The stupidest booty call ever made.

I read this a teen.  I am not sure if that’s when I decided fuck it, I was gonna be who I wanted to be, or if I was just born stubborn af.

It was required reading in my women’s studies class. I like to say that class was far more beneficial than the therapist my parents sent me to when I was 13.

In one of the anecdotes in Reviving Ophelia, a teenage girl talked about how her male therapist wrote off her depression and didn’t think sexism and misogyny were relevant to her life. He wrote her off as lazy for not wanting to get out of bed and go to school instead of, you know, finding out why like a therapist is…

Why any women would fight over any dude in Blink 182 is beyond comprehension.

“I wanted them to do this,” he told Vice News. “This is a great day for me.”

Anything from this former crack addict and failed professional gambler surprises you?

*just gestures at the hundreds of people who did irreparable damage to their lives trying to murder congress members last month*

Yikes that’s eerie.

The comment about “Woody Allen the steamroller” (as opposed to the public image of Allen as a neurotic) reminds me of how Orson Welles absolutely pegged him for what he always was decades ago.

This. The guy has SHOWN who he is. Ending up with a child you met when she was twelve is the creepiest goddamn thing in the world, and only a creepy creepy creep would be capable of it. That’s even leaving out the fact that he was supposed to be her goddamned father. If someone shows you who they are, believe it.

I don’t understand how anyone could believe Allen after the business with his stepdaughter.

Yeah, all of his films are pretty much, “They can’t get enough of me! Young, old, young, young, younger, whatever... ME, the bespectacled nebbish with attractive characteristics...”

Does the series touch on the fact that Allen tells us repeatedly, in film after film, who he is? How many movies has he made now about a young, barely legal woman getting ensnared by a creepy old man (often played by Allen himself)?
