Because it’s completely narcissistic to take something horrendous that happened to someone else and make it about you and your cake. If your way to “process” is by needing validation of your narcissism I'm going to judge.

What's the point of a comment like this? You aren't the only one to do it, sometimes people make it about animals or gifs...but why? If the article bothers you so much that you can't comment on it, then why don't you just not comment? Why try to get attention for your feelings and your cake on an article about someone…

RAGE. I swear I just stayed out of the comments on this whole saga until this update because I was getting so mad at all the judgement. (And were they even together while he was married?!)

Euugh, I fucking know!! Unbelievable. I have to say I know it was probably a quick post but I’m not a massive fan of Jez posting that paragraph here, especially when its only 1 of 2. They don’t mention other things like the video or the picture of the police card (or the police being involved at all) and, I don’t…

Yup. This whole scenario has bought back a lot of unpleasant memories for me, when others partake in gaslighting you it’s fucking harrowing. It’s like shouting in a void, or just as with the origin of the term, your apparent sanity gets stripped away as you protest the truth.

I’m truly sorry to hear that. My dad is a textbook alcoholic and I grew up blind to the full story with his actions. He never really abused me personally but I knew there was one incident with my mom. Years after his major issues he was supposed to be on the right track, my boyfriend and I went to lunch with him and…

THIS. SO HARD. A guy I’ve known since college is a Grade A textbook example of an emotional abuser. I’ve watched him manipulate and hurt I don’t know HOW many friends of mine. His behavior was pretty much common knowledge among everyone in our department, but because he was “usually” so nice and charming, he kept…

I find these kinds of comments really disturbing, to be honest. Partially because my abuser was one of those “last person to commit sexual assault” people.

Because God knows abusers never, ever escalate after an emotionally traumatic event like the death of a parent.

That’s the thing; gaslighting isn’t just done by an abusive spouse, it’s done by our entire culture. “He’s so sweet! He’d never do that!” When he’s not sweet and he would totally do that.

Depp is the last celebrity person I would have ever thought capable of DV.

As an old, I remember his “tumultuous” relationships with Kate Moss and Winona Ryder. I think he trashed a hotel when he was with Moss. There were hints of violence in the tabloids back then, but no one ever came out and said that the relationships were abusive.

Or brings out the monster that was already there.

Um, no. Kate Moss? Also public relations crafted personas and actual people are very different things. He’s just a man, after all.

I think that’s a very healthy take to have. I replied to someone else that I would not have entered into a consenting relationship with an adult if I hadn’t already been abused to the point where dating someone 7 year older than me seemed like a good idea. He was kind to me, but I shouldn’t have been there. He didn’t…

Anjelica Huston, Ford model, muse to Richard Avedon, a “hatchet face”? You’re actually suggesting that Huston’s disdain of Polanski’s victim was not due to her own experiences with terrible men, but just plain ol’ jealousy? Keep it classy!

Yeah, you think those three are the problem?

It does seem like that sometimes, when someone was the victim of abuse as a child, they kind of get used to mistreatment and see it as normal, and have a hard time seeing the signs of someone being a creep or abuser.

He’s a bully and a pretty unsophisticated one and people want him to be president! This election is really eye opening. I had too much faith in American voters. Now I am wondering whether I want to raise children in this country given how many people seem to love and admire bullies.

My question is: just what is his account name all about?
