We-hell, I guess he gave you a very unfiltered view of how he really sees you (“perform”). Overall, his manipulation skills are ... questionable. What an arsehole.

I burned it from my phone but I once received an exercise in amateur literotica from my brother that was meant for his girlfriend. I texted back "Please, sir, there's been a mistake " and then died inside. 

Gaga’s a phony. Copy of a xerox of a reproduction. 

Wait. The kiddie porn came out long before she worked that track. And she kept it out there long enough to cash in. She was also called out at the time. Ignorance is no excuse here. There is defiant and there is ambitious. I’m chalking it up to the latter, a pure career move.

I’m calling bullshit...the Surviving R. Kelly people reached out to her as one of his past collaborators and she opted to not participate. She also could have released a statement before it aired. This is damage control pure and simple.

Yeah, I think she knew what she was doing by working with him too and I have no idea what she was thinking. 

“If I could go back and have a talk with my younger self I’d tell her to go through the therapy I have since then, so that I could understand the confused post-traumatic state that I was in - or if therapy was not available to me or anyone in my situation - to seek help, and speak as openly and honestly as possible…

Part of me is like “REALLY?! Now?! Are you kidding me.”

Okay, girl. I see you and your Oscar campaign.

Exactly, the celebrity response is too Johnny come lately. They ~wanted to work with him and after the fact they canceled him. Beyond transparent. There is a video of him urinating on a child--no apology is good enough.

The video was also directed by Terry Richardson and is EXTREMELY disturbing. This apology is too little too late.

You’re not interesting because you jerked off in front of women for decades. Why does that mean I have to listen to you? Why does that make you interesting. You didn’t get your career ruined by a vindictive creep. You spent 20 years harassing your colleagues and threatening them with retaliation and now I gotta…

He knows the liberal progressive audiences that were once his bread and butter will never fully take him back no matter how well he performed contrition, so he swings the pendulum the other way. It shouldn’t the least bit surprising, I’ve yet to see a repeat abuser opt for self-reflection and accountability over…

I wish George Carlin was still alive. I could actually kind of see him saying that one line - “you’re not interesting. You didn’t get shot.” - and spinning it into some good commentary about the media or human nature rather than that unfunny, cringey hack job Louis CK gave us.  Carlin was the master of shocking you…

Ditto... I’ve seen a lot of changes and drama but something Jez-like invariably bounced back - but no recovery (from the change in ownership I think) this time. I stop in every once in a while to scroll through but it feels like a chore...

I was just relieved it wasn’t another fawning post about that transphobic asshole Cardi B.  My standards might just be getting low, though.

Maybe have the foresight to understand how a fucking gold piano would look to her subjects who don’t own gold pianos? I dunno. And all of the garish wealth the monarchy controls could be sold and the funds given to the treasury for social programs. The monarchy’s continuing existence in the 21st century is itself…

Uh yeah it should be sold and the Monarchy is an expensive and dumb tradition that should be achingly obvious 

I think that it's worth mentioning. I do not at all like when everyone glosses over someone's life just because they're dead. 

I mean, somebody has to make the music they play at bad strip clubs.
