“She’s a ‘gender equality t***. She’s obsessed with race”.
Honestly, I think this article is a little unfair, because it excluded most of her statement:
Thank you. I think the “people close to him MUST have known” argument comes from the same place as “people who get raped MUST have done something to deserve it.” We don’t want to believe that someone we love and trust could be a monster, so we pretend that monsters walk around with flashing signs over their heads…
Honestly, it kind of annoys me that Bill Murray acknowledged the existence of Logan Paul. I was happier feeling like he was more of a nobody.
Never thought I’d ever hear Bill Murray make a jab at someone as insignificantly repulsive as Logan Paul, but man, was it satisfying.
All I’m saying is that she DIDN’T tell him to stop, and implied that she found it funny. If you’re not predisposed to look for bad behavior in someone, or your relationship is such that you might not see what others might see or feel what they feel, saying, “That wasn’t the — I knew.”, shouldn’t be seen as an…
Honestly, there is so much creepy behavior that men do that many women have internalized as normal. As these stories have come out I’ve reflected back on the kind of treatment and behavior I’ve put up with and even forgotten about until now. Some of it I tried to talk to managers or coworkers about and they all just…
She did say that she demanded he stop, or didn’t find it funny. You don’t know what their relationship was like and quotes without context do nothing to accurately portray how things were between them.
I agree with you and I’m sorry your friend had to go through what sounds like a complete horror show.
I still don’t understand what Mark did wrong here. Unless he campaigned for Michelle to NOT get the raise. Should he have made sure to negotiate for both of them?
I agree with you. And things that seem like HUGE warning signs in retrospect just don’t register.
I still don’t get this. He had nothing to do with her pay. He negotiations weren’t informed by her pay. He was a douche about money, and it had literally nothing to do with women. Sooooo, the outrage machine something something Mark Wahlberg is now attached to Michelle Williams’ comparatively shit money something…
Abusers create a “good person” alibi by making sure there are always one or two (or ten or 100) people who they aren’t monsters around. And when someone seems to come out of the woodwork to say “hey, this dude did X to me” all these people do exactly what they’ve been groomed to do and jump to the abuser’s defense.…
Look, I never liked DMB either, but they were massively popular at the time, so I don’t think we can truly say they weren’t “cool.”
I liked none of their music except this one song, which was why I read the article. Still definitely not going to check out the movie, as it has “not for me” written all over it.
I think it’s fair to assume he talked to Michelle Williams before doing this announcement with her name in it. Given her proactive stances this seems like something she would’ve preferred as well. They do share an agency and just worked on the same movie.
Hard to argue with the end result of money going to this cause, but a lot of the criticism seemed in pretty bad faith to begin with, given that if an actress’s reps had been ready to take advantage of this situation (as Wahlberg’s apparently were and Williams’s weren’t), the coverage in places like this wouldn’t have…
First, I’m glad this move was done. Like the Neeson article, though, probably the last person on the blame list here is Wahlberg. Those agents should be the focus here. I mean, it’s not even a competing agency that did this. Him and Williams are represented by the same company on the same movie and they did this.…
Until murky and anonymous accusations that are hastily deleted from social media stop becoming tools used to derail lives, the movement deserves it’s backlash.
Seriously?
Would totally watch a “Lil Bruno” cartoon.
