I flat out told Mr. Yacht that if he ever pulls a stunt like this, I will say hell fucking no, try again when you’ve gotten your head out of your ass. Thankfully, he hates this kind of contrived shit too. 

A stunt like this would have me rethinking my relationship, and not in a “together forever” way.

When I saw "Florida Man" I just assumed that he organised for himself to be the defendant. Or maybe his fiancee.

Is it just me or is this batshit phenomenon exclusive to white guys? I’ve seen so many videos where white guys trick their family (usually a mom, aunt, or partner) into thinking they died, won the lottery, a child died, they joined the army, or proposed in a massive public setting. I vividly recall a youtube video…

It’s hard to say but Melissa Rosenberg, the showrunner/creator, found a new job while working on JJ S3 and after the cancellations of Iron Fist and Luke Cage, the writing on the wall might have been clear. So there’s a chance we’ll get some kind of finale if only out of Rosenberg wanting to put a cap on her run.

First “Don’t Trust the B**** in Apartment 23,” now “Jessica Jones.” Both were fantastic.

I would hope they saw the writing on the wall and did a decent job of closing things up. It’s not like everyone didn’t know this was coming.

Jessica Jones was far-and-away the best of this group of programming. I can’t say I’m surprised by this news, though. What I’m really pissed about is the fact that they made this decision AFTER they wrapped filming, so we’re likely to get a cliffhanger or otherwise un-finished ending. Which is fucking frustrating.

That’s stupid- it’s not a competition, it a father-daughter relationship which is clearly toxic and the toxicity is coming from his end as proved by his constant negative comments and leaks to the press for money and attention. Besides which, Meghan is the ultimate underdog: biracial, American, middle (lower?) class…

I appreciate it. Sorry this happened to you too. The parent who was this way died, but I do wonder, and doubt, if I could have changed them.

My god. Your second paragraph perfectly sums up my experiences. I find it so validating to see this put into words. And so sorry you lived this too.

His comment that her husband must have fed her the line about ‘down the rabbit hole,’ was particularly weird. It is, as you noted, a perfectly well known expression in the States and if it hadn’t been, why wouldn’t she be discussing this with her husband? Her dad and sister are creating a media circus smearing Meghan…

“They purposely set traps you should know not to fall into but somehow do, anyway.”

She is not megarich. Her husband’s family are the monarchal rulers of the remnants of the British empire. They undoubtably have a bit stashed away, but she can’t throw it all to dads. Tom needs to go away.

Bingo. There’s only one way to deal with a narcissistic parent, and she’s done it flawlessly. Beaten him at his own game and he won’t even know it for a while. If he does though, or if someone points it out to him, then the narcissistic injury will prompt one hell of a payback. You could then expect a truly nasty lie…

Exactly. The fact that’s he’s stupid enough to think “let me leak this letter where my daughter says I’m breaking her heart into a million pieces. That’ll show them and help my case.” He and Samantha are totally clueless.

Oh Markle Senior, you are toxic toxic toxic. Americans definitely say “down the rabbit hole,” you ignorant heap of trash. We have plenty of copies of Alice in Wonderland, even right here in the US! I feel sorry for this gorgeous, wealthy, glowingly pregnant Duchess, because the Markle side of her family is such…

Yeah, this letter was clearly written with the expectation it would be leaked. The fact that he can’t see that and somehow thought it would make him look better to leak it is insane.

“I thought I had daddy issues!”
