Costello has a long history of racism, design theft, and general unprofessionalism (also, now sexual harassment!), and he’s now trying to whitewash his rep by throwing Teigen under the bus. (I don’t know if the screenshot he referenced was faked or not, but it’s by no means the only time he was accused of using racial…

“and given that Costello supposedly has emails going back 4 years in an attempt to talk to her, which of course Lewis is not required to reply, it seems like he was wanting to fix whatever miscommunication happened”

What he actually said was : “I have 7 emails from the last 4 years and these past 9 weeks from your team…

I watched them fight a giant Satan and loved it; I can only imagine that watching Tenacious D fight giant robots might actually make me interested in watching a Transformers movie.

Yeah, that was obnoxious. It’s very strange how that show has blown up and is now an instant positive PR blitz for the guests.

Along those lines, I *hate* that the use of “-tard (libtard, etc)” has become so common.

So I lost 2 friends this week. Not dead, they just ghosted/unfriended me over social media. And I am super fine with it!

Exactly.

Y’all really just buy in to people if they look like they have money.

“Woman, Man, Camera, TV: The Donald Trump Story”

That certainly is damning. However it doesn’t absolve Warner Bros (who, presumably turned a blind eye to their cash cow all these years) from stepping in. Clearly they’ve been complicit by never stepping in to stop this madness. So, evidently she’s been as complicit as they say, and that’s sad.

Definitely. I work in communications for an influential nonprofit, and not once has the president (or other senior leadership) issued any kind of “personal” statement or email that wasn’t drafted with at least 3 other people.

Sometimes just focusing on the worst allows for people to keep behaving badly as well because they can point to “well at least I didnt do this”

The most likely reason is that there is a massive difference between “knowing” something and having proof. That’s not the type of claim you make against someone on the basis of something you heard 3rd hand (at best), unless you actively want to get sued into destitution. 

lawsuits. If she can’t prove anything and the victims aren’t willing to come forward...

But they were discussed... and then nothing came out because outside that one leaked clip played over and over there wasn’t anything to add from it.

Even though I don’t condone her actions, they didn’t warrant that reaction from a “trained public servant”. I wonder how many other women he’s beaten. That looked a little too easy for him.

My hot take: current jezebel writers got soooooo excited that a current relevant show made an unattributed reference to a decade old jez article that they had to find a way to write about it. but they couldn’t help underlining the reason why this website used to be relevant and no longer is--mistaking real social…

I am curious to know what the agreement is with the property manager. Sometimes these property managers or property management companies have it made very clear in their contracts(with the owner) that the owner is forbidden to speak with the renter or come near the property while the renter lives in it or it is under…

On top of that it's not as if there's a great track record of prisoners being believed when they try to get help for health problems like trouble breathing.
