I don’t get the snark here. You could probably edit any speech at any awards show where the winner was breathless and emotional about winning. Meanwhile she gave actually did give a nice speech and talked about the importance of mental health and artists supporting each other ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

By the time I was 16, I’d endured years of: misogynistic tirades from my father who called me a prostitute when I was in second grade (learned a new word that day!); ongoing paranoia from both my parents that I’d have sex despite not knowing what sex was at the time (lower elementary school); bullying at school from…

Kenji had a less aggressive headline when he wrote this article three and a half years ago. Same with the recent one about MSG that came out a couple of weeks ago. I like Claire and the Skillet, but it’s funny to see a topic show up on SeriousEats or the Cook’s Illustrated family of sites only to see it echoed here.

I refuse to judge B. Smith’s husband.  If you haven’t lived it you have no vote, opinion or advice to offer.  

NY Housewives is a gift that just keeps on giving. No other HW franchise can touch it.

No one yelled “This isn’t my plate, you fucking bitch!” Disappointed.

The thing that gives New York an edge over OC is this geographical stereotype I cling to: New York is weird and intellectual and sarcastic; LA is full of blonde bimbos. Both make for entertaining shows, but (maybe as a semi-New Yorker and full-time East Coaster) I will always take RHONY over RHOC. The NY ladies are…

Oh man I’m with you on the Dorinda thing. She is mean and coked up and it is not funny when she drinks, nor is it entertaining. It’s tiresome to see her continue to be enabled by this show when NO ONE SAYS ANYTHING, aside from Bethenny’s one tepid conversation on the plane to PR last year.

Wow - the Beverly Hills people have said they just had the most “eventful” season ever and now this!

If he was a true business magnate, he wouldn’t have to consult a fictional waitress on matters of common sense. 

Boys are weird.

I know. It’s hard. I’m old and every fiber of my body is screaming at young women to stay awaaaayyyy from pieces of shit like Chris Brown. If that’s victim blaming I’ll own it, but it comes from a protective instinct rather than a judgmental one. And I still think it’s not her fault and he should’ve been under the…

If this was 1995 I would agree with you, but the internet is a thing, and he has been accused of doing so much other shit. Maybe she thought she was safe because she was with other people? That’s the only thing I can think.

Celebrity is a powerful thing and a lot of people are blinded by it to the point of ignoring past behavior. Or, honestly, she didn’t know anything about him other than his name and that he’s famous/rich. 

Unfortunately there are still tons of people, women especially, who seem all too eager to be #TeamBreezy to this day. Which is weird, because he assaulted Rihanna, a celebrity in the same industry whose music and personality people love (and they prob love her music more than his, if we’re being purely pragmatic about…

I don’t think it’s victim blaming to question why she willingly went somewhere with a known abuser.

At what point, though, is it ok to simply shrug our shoulders and say, “told ya so”...?

I live in Western PA.

This article is worth the read simply for the “Ofclaire” reference. That one’s going in my daily vocabulary. Oh, and thanks for the myth-busting.
