I just read the Vulture piece, thanks for sharing it - it made me cry. His last sentence, the last sentence of the article, is especially heartbreaking now. Ugh. I love Lafayette, and that is absolutely because of Nelsan’s portrayal of him. I dropped off from the show eventually, but I still quote Lafayette and hold…

I know this is about the pie, but I’d just like to point out this is a FALSE STATEMENT, ROONEY: “It was such a unique way of showing grief, we’ve never seen anything like that before.”

Anytime an adult uses the word “haters” to defend themselves, I automatically assume they are in the wrong. It’s a bullshit word used by bullshitters.

This is precisely what I came down here to write. The second I hear “mama bear” I go ahead and assume slightly nuts. Though they’re usually on the other side of the counter demanding to see the manager.

I live in Memphis and used to eat at this restaurant until a friend of mine posted about her experience working there - they leave open breastmilk in the fridge, use expired products, essentially just microwave gardein patties and treat their employees like GARBAGE. They have been running wild on social media for a…
