Their employers see them as lesser beings. Though it’s not necessarily a rich person thing... Like look how tons of people treat servers/retail workers like shit. Add in extra power over the person and poof—nightmare.
Former au pair speaking, and I can vouch for that. The pay was minimal (though the family were millionaires), the expectations were ridiculous (towards the end they would get angry when I left the house on weekday evenings,) and their entire attitude was that lowly me should be super grateful to get the amazing…
I can only speak anecdotally, but nannies, maids, etc., are jobs that are frequently filled by people who may be more vulnerable than others (immigrants who don’t speak English, women of color, etc.). Add that to limited contact with people outside the family - some families make their nannies keep the kids at home -…
I don’t know much about it, but it seems like every story I’ve ever read of things like this happening involved a nanny/maid that is foreign to wherever it is they are being abused. I would imagine language and culture barriers and a lack of support system in family and friends present makes them easier targets for…
Maybe because a lot of them are immigrant women with fewer resources?
How does proving someone else is lying make one a bitch exactly?
Taylor Swift is 26. She has been very skillful when it comes to PR for her whole career. But go ahead uplift your Queen of White Feminism.
That speech was so absurd. “DURRRR LADIES IT’S SO HARD TO BE BORN RICH, WHITE, AND VERY GOOD LOOKING EVERYONE TRIES TO CUT YOU DOWN DURRRR” as if she has ever had a hard time in life at any point. She was born on cloud nine. The only piece of the privilege pie she’s ever missed out on is being a man.
Surely the police have duties that supercede stumbling around aimlessly looking for bodies, that may or may not exist, in random wooded areas. Responding to 911 calls, for example.
I thought she was “yachting” aka hooking for semi-famous people.
I would be slapping fools like it was going out of style.
This is how I think Takei is seeing it: George Takei is gay. George Takei played a character on Star Trek named Sulu. George Takei is not actually Sulu. Sulu is not gay.
I’m typically a very nice person who likes to give everyone the benefit of the doubt**, but I’ve never felt such Schadenfreude as I do for Elizabeth Holmes! She is the epitome of reckless entitlement. I’m especially sad that her minions will chalk this up to the requisite “failures” that all successful, groundbreaking…
True story. My aunt was one of these people who don’t trust banks. She kept her entire savings in cash in her home. Even after a fire nearly burnt down the whole damn house, which she stayed inside collecting all her cash from cereal boxes and plant pots until she was dragged out. Now she keeps it split between inside…
it’s cultural. superstition runs heavy in those cultures. my mother in law told me the other day in visions she has seen what our child will be like (I’m pregnant and don’t know the sex yet) but she can’t tell me because if she says it out loud demons may hear and curse the baby. she’s normally a very level headed…
Become a BMW salesperson?
This is sad. But also, how are you savvy enough to have $280K saved in cash, but dumb enough that someone took it from you because you believed you were going to get cursed????
The families came after them, they are now trying to recover some of the costs from the actions of the families. If someone brings a frivolous suit against you are you going to just forgive the money you’re out for fighting that?
