So not only did Ivanka marry a grifter in the image of dear old dad, but just as 45's brother helped him, Jared’s entry to higher education was also fraudulently obtained? The parallels in life partner choices when you grew up with an integrity-lacking personality disordered parent (and haven’t realized it) are…

I’m speechless. “He just likes you/has a crush” I always wonder how did that idea even start? That is why so many little girls become teens and women who stay with abusive partners in emotionally abusive relationships and/or physical abuse - and then have kids, who learn to accept emotional abuse by example... The…

Am I the only one who sees the ‘Elvis has left the building’ look on his face in the header photo? Take a sociopath - they really have no identity or sense of self to being with - add dementia, and you get that completely vacant look

Some of those teams have women coaches, trainers, etc - abuse can still happen. Often “useful” authority figures are targeted & groomed as much as the kids are, the adults are groomed to serve as cover for the predator, and also as character references. It even happens where adults are victims - witness the people who…

Oh no, yes this is a good time for taking personal stock! I could barely read Gomeshi’s Facebook statement - it was too eerily reminiscent of the verbose, overly-formal, deeply offended, self-righteous, self-important, ‘people are out to get me’, I’M THE VICTIM HERE, style of other guilty, personality-disordered…

I would say YES, he was getting off on that, absolutely. What you described is a lovely example of Duper’s Delight, the smug trait of sociopaths walking that fine line, baring their true selves and knowing they could get caught but likely won’t, thanks to their ingeniously evil ways.

She looks at journalists with such condescension, and speaks the same way. It’s so disrespectful and unprofessional, and somehow I’m still surprised every time. It also seems like she’s not overly familiar with what she’s reading

The various stories about Dustin Hoffman were particularly stomach-churning. Two that stood out: Groping a woman who was essentially captive - she was off-stage reading lines in a play, unable to fight him off, and he did this every night. Or the teenage store clerk he befriended, also befriended her mother (hmm seems…

That look is creepily determined and intensifies when he moves with her as she tries to move away. Was Ivana the only one who accused him of being violent towards her? That seems surprising, unless violence & possessiveness are only for the women he has a claim to/‘owns’. If he wasn’t potus he’d be a fascinating…

Yes this is exactly why “he was always polite/respectful to me” is worthless and risky - every single predator has some people who think they are great, people who have been groomed to serve as references. Either directly when they speak well of the predator, or indirectly when their own good character is unwittingly…

But at the same time, I can’t help but to think it’s funny how these fires get lit and it takes off and I don’t have time to care. That’s why I’ve kind of moved on

That header photo also shows the real Cosby, without that smug pursed-lip look that passes for a smile - he’s been working that for decades, it must have been exhausting ‘don’t look like an evil predator, don’t look...’

She’s likely been blindsided but in the long run she’s better off, he’s shown himself to be unreliable, lacking morals and nor worthy of emotional investment

The sex cult was a secret offshoot from a legit-seeming self-improvement/growth series of courses - the organization had several high-profile people involved in various ways. Same leader for both. Various long-form articles have been written recently, and as far back as 2003 - it’s surprising it didn’t get more media…

I think it’s a reference to when Pink started out and was told to conform to the ‘standard’ - Britney, Christina, etc. There’s a lyric in one of her early songs about producer LA Reid, and the pressure she felt:

...skin color lies someplace between “Living Dead” and “Fish belly white” 

I am very sorry for your losses.

I would bet there was a lot of pre-victim blaming, setting women in general up to look like the problem “women are always throwing themselves at him”, “his kindness is taken advantage of”, “girls these days are always high on something” - so when a photo shoot went south, or he needed his driver to take an incoherent…

Given that the accusation isn’t from some random stranger, it’s specific accusations from a colleague he worked closely with for months - one would expect an innocent man to review & consider his prior behavior, feel concern for having done anything that left her feeling assaulted (at a place that should have been a…

It’s really sad circumstances when what surprises me most is “why does he paint his face yet continues to wave his lily-white hands around, often close to the orange face”. Followed by “what do his shirt collars look like, does he even re-wear them”
