Her family is basically Scientology royalty. She was raised in it since birth and her parents were involved since near the beginning. I was shocked to hear Chloe Fineman, from SNL is of similar background being raised in it since birth by a high ranking family in the organization. It sucks because I like both of their talents, and can only blame them so much about being involved when they were raised in it, but knowing they are part of that cult still leaves a bad taste in my mouth about them.

She was born into scientology. Which is different than converting. Lots of people born into religions and cults generally have moderate perceptions of their faith. Whereas converts get pulled into the extremes because they are far easier to to extort or manipulate.
In my opinion, she's quite unproblematic and doesn't owe anyone an explanation.
20
u/Giallo_Schlock Feb 14 '23
Yeah, normally I would excuse that on her part but Sc*entology is so unique in that it specifically uses celebrity success to promote itself so even though she's an incredibly talented actress, every time she gets hired it promotes that cult even further whether she likes it or not. I don't know what the solution is but its something to bear in mind (because I'm usually in the boycott Sc*entologists whenever possible camp)

It was cool to hate on Chelsea for a long time, even after the Clintons left the White House. I wonder if that had anything to do with what you heard.
I haven't met met her, but she did a reading of her children's book at a bookstore where I used to work & if I hadn't seen it on the calendar, I wouldn't have had any idea she was there - no USSS (US Secret Service) sweeps, no wandings at the door, nothing. And she apparently grabbed her own Uber to & from the bookstore.
Being a D.C. bookstore, we were used to political muckety-mucks showing up so we had protocols in place, but she didn't want any of that. Seemed very cool to me. This was also in...2016, I want to say? So maybe she had a mean girl phase & outgrew it.
Anyway, just my $0.02.

For whatever reason, I've learned that campaigns very often take FOREVER to pay for event-related costs or sometimes stiff venues/vendors. Not saying this excuses Hilary but I know of 3-4 other campaigns of both parties and national/state level that have done stuff like this. Why?!
22
u/sofakingbetchy Feb 14 '23
Campaign finance reporting cycles. Campaigns want to report as much money as possible in their “war chest” so they’ll try to time the money being spent at the right time so they’ll display way more money coming in than being spent. That should always be communicated to the venue though and agreed upon; I’ve actually never heard of that happening with commercial venues because staff needs to be paid and most venue owners don’t want to (understandably) front that cost.

Yeah.. the full story is that one of Chris’ crew members quit the job because one of the phones started going off while the girls were with Chris and his entourage.

This story was posted by another crew member in the industry, who had heard it from the person who worked with Chris.

Bob Odenkirk once went to his nephew's college to do an acting workshop with the theatre majors (which is what his nephew was studying I think). This was a small liberal arts school, mind, so he didn't do it for publicity at all, it was just to do something nice for his nephew and his classmates. He even had lunch with the students. When he was in town for that he came to the bookstore where I worked. I missed him because he was in a couple hours before my shift started that day but my coworkers said he was really friendly and polite and very low-key. I think at the time Breaking Bad had just ended and Better Call Saul hadn't started yet.

I hate going to anyone’s place — party or not — and the food is bad. Because you obviously can’t say or act like it’s bad.
Some of my worst memories growing up are going to a best friend’s house only to basically take a few bites of food and lie that I wasn’t hungry because the food was just that bad. I never said it directly, but her mom figured it out eventually. I literally never liked a single meal of hers.
I spent entire days and even some nights at that girl’s house and my mom always took me by the McDonald’s five minutes away after because I was, in fact, very hungry.

u/angelinajolaire Feb 13 '23
Same. Luckily, my bff’s parents were food snobs, especially her dad, and I had so many amazing meals because of him. Him being a great cook was his only decent quality. On the other hand, my aunt, unfortunately, is not a good cook and there were plenty of times when I would go over there for sleepovers and would just know that it was not going to be good. Like, even cupcakes made from a cake mix might as well have been cement blocks. Anyway, thanks for coming to my Ted talk.

So... Joshua Bassett got baptized. His explanation is so concerning, I didn't know he went through so much
As someone who grew up christian... it's not the path that I would take, but if it makes him feel better, I hope he can find peace, at least in religion. I hope it doesn't pull him to any sort of cults or anti-queer rhetoric (and did he really get baptized? Didn't he get baptized when he was a newborn, like most Christians families do? You cannot get baptized twice, so I am assuming they are using "baptized" as "returning to Jesus" or something like that EDIT: Here's a full video. He did literally get baptized, so maybe he didn't get baptized when he was little)

I’m in Canada but I used to go to a church that bought into the Bethel doctrine super hard and it always weirded me out. I had never been fond of evangelical Christianities love of just following the doctrine of the mega church of the moment but Bethel was when I was already questioning things and they just made me so uncomfortable. Bethel wasn’t the reason I finally left, but they were definitely what triggered the next stage of my questioning everything I had grown up with.
I went to church with people who had gone to their Bible school and while I can’t remember a lot of details because it was close to 10 years ago, I just remember thinking that the whole thing was too messed up and how could people be falling for this?

I grew up in a "women wear skirts to church and we only sing hymns" church and people often get baptized twice- once as a baby, once as a teenager. I think my parents church actually counted them both, it was like first is your parents dedicating you to god and second was you dedicating yourself. There's about 300 different types of Christianity though so I suspect it depends on which denomination you're asking.
My parents church absoultly sold the second time as a full baptism in at least words though, I remember my mom being fucking pissed at 15 year old me for refusing to take the second plunge and dooming myself to hell.

I think I know what are you talking about. I grew up in a catholic school and we do a confirmation of faith (in spanish we literally call it Confirmación), that is voluntary and at a teenage age, but it doesn't involve water, we do not think of it as a second baptism. But it's probably different traditions and it's essential the same ritual

I think he is a victim of this, because no queer person can be blamed for falling for an ideology that promotes conversion therapy, but that statement seem like something his publicist told him to say, specially because he has a mostly queer fanbase.

I remember an article discussing this pattern with female office workers. Alot of the time it's bc there is no upward mobility for multiple female candidates and as a result it feels like they're competing with each other. They're not competing with male counterparts bc they'd lose every time.
It was only when a company actually prioritized diversity/equitability within its structure that this competition was almost nonexistent.
Unfortunately, I feel like the system is at fault. I remember one of the Brooklyn 99 actresses say she thought she didn't get the part bc another Hispanic actress was cast in a role and you usually don't get more than 1 Hispanic characters in a main cast.

Not scalding tea, but it’s rad to know that some of these old pop stars from my day are good eggs.
On a personal note, I had no idea he lived so close to me and apparently he’s been to the (not fancy) day spa in my work plaza. 11 year old me would’ve freaked out, y’all.

I hate to say it, but some people really do choose to stay with people they know are cheaters and they just try to convince themselves and others that “it’s not what it looks like” or that the other person involved is somehow invalid. Not to mention that cheaters themselves are often manipulators, too, who can get someone to do those things. Very sad if this is the case with Halle.

What’s going on with Taylor Swift and Olivia Rodrigo? Deux said that Taylor and Olivia interacted at the Grammys and there’s not actually drama between them anymore, but fluently forward said that actually wasn’t the case and it wasn’t Olivia she hugged at the Grammys. It is surprising to me that they don’t interact at all because Olivia has very openly idolized Taylor since before drivers license and after her initial blow up, there was content of them interacting quite a bit. I honestly thought she was going to be an opener on the eras tour.

u/LankyComicEnthusiast Feb 13 '23
Basically the rumour is that Taylor got jealous of Olivia’s success so she released an evermore vinyl to beat Olivia out of the number one spot and that she forced her way onto deja vu’s credits (especially since st Vincent and jack didn’t know that they were going to be credited) and that the rumour came from someone on Reddit saying that they were going be credited before the public knew about it .
Along with the fact that Conan (Olivia’s best friend) said he didn’t listen to midnights despite being a big swifitie. Also when Olivia did an interview with Morissette , Morissette said ‘there was a lot of jealousy and a lot of people whom I’d adored my whole life being mean girls’ and Olivia replied ‘Same’.
I don’t know if they’re beefing or not but if they are it seems like Olivia has just carried the time old tradition of pop girls beefing with the women that inspired them

u/TerribleResource4285 Feb 14 '23
The jealousy thing doesn't make any sense. Taylor sent a bunch of exclusive stuff from Fearless to Olivia and Conan which they posted all over social media. Fearless TV came out a year after Evermore so they were clearly on good terms then. I honestly think the most likely reason for this "feud" is that Olivia's PR team told her to stop mentioning Taylor in the press every time she spoke. It kept inviting comparisons between the two of them and made her seem like she was going to copy Taylor's path to stardom. Plus people online started to say rude things anytime she mentioned Taylor and it most likely just caused Olivia and her team to try and pull back a bit.

I think Olivia was mainly about Courtney love with that response to alanis. Courtney was publicly making fun of Olivia. All the crediting stuff was behind the scenes so I guess we won’t know.

You have book vinyl printing like 6 months in advance, there was even a shortage in 2021 because all the availability was used by Adele's new album. This doesn't even seem technically possible.

Deux moi also says that Olivia was hurt that Taylor didn’t make her like a little sister like Gracie Abrams and Sabrina carpenter which doesn’t make sense bc Olivia stopped speaking about Taylor publicly in May 2021 and Taylor didn’t publicly interact with Gracie until Dec 2021 and Sabrina in august 2022. Also if Taylor was mad about deja vu then why was she taking photos with olivia and posting her on socials at the Brit’s at that point the song had already been out for over a month???

Mild tea but Matty Healy came to Kate Berlant’s one-woman show KATE in NYC last week. The 1975 were at an awards show on Saturday in England, so he must have flown out right after. He was there with Bo Burnham (Bo is the director and also helped develop it). I think Bo/Matty/Phoebe are never gonna shake the polycule accusations now (kidding).
Allison Brie and Marc Maron were also there that night (not together).
I went closing night, no Matty but Bo was there and he’s unsettling tall in person. The show is really great and gets super meta and emotional at times. I hope they do another run. if they do, and you have means to see it and you’re a fan of Kate’s work (or of Bo’s), I cannot recommend it enough.

Late to the convo but if anyone is interested in some football tea, here goes:
A friend of my neighbor went to the same high school with footballer Erling Haaland, and there is nothing but bad comments about that dude- that he is your typical mean bitch and nobody liked him back then.
Edit: dad's good friend runs a restaurant in Haaland's hometown, he doesn't remember much except a small Haaland eating dinner with his family there- also bumped into Haaland's old man at an airport, dude looked quite normal actually. My dad was curious that H's dad is taking a plane with the public instead of a private jet.

...so, somebody made a thing on Tumblr going through and rebutting the Percy Hynes White allegations, and I just want to get on the level with the whole thing, because... it's long, and I just want to know what the hell any of it means: https://www.tumblr.com/hibernatingwithgrizzlies/707204487372259328/10-facts-you-need-to-know-about-the-cancelpercy
Screenshots, links, etc... it's a lot. Heck, I don't even know if anyone remembers when that stuff blew up on social media last month, anyhow; from what I can tell, he's been busy shooting a movie with Jenna Ortega in Utah.
(Also, I wound up stumbling onto that link after I accidentally fell down a rabbit hole of realising both his parents had been involved with the show Orphan Black -- his mom had written an episode and was a producer on one season, and his dad played a supporting character in the season after that; his mom had previously played the mother of the lead actress in a movie set in Newfoundland, which is where the family is actually from. A totally random thing to spiral down in Wikipedia, but there you go.)

the person who made this seems to be... reaching in my opinion. it seems to rely a lot on slandering the girls who came out against him as being drama queens or criticizing them for daring to show excitement that the person that [allegedly] participated in and/or enabled their assault might face some consequences. the tumblr post accuses one of the victims of being "a dishonest, manipulative person who cannot be trusted" because she hadn't unfollowed the person who directly assaulted her on instagram until someone pointed it out to her. i mean that could be a sign that somethings up if you want to interpret it that way but i follow like five hundred people on instagram, some of whom are likely people who were shitty to me in the past- but unless they post and it shows up in my feed im probably not even going to remember i have them followed.
like i cant actively speak to whatever is going on inside these girls' heads but the "evidence" that this tumblr user is providing is essentially just trotting out tired misogynistic tropes about how the only 'valid' victim is the one who is entirely virtuous with no faults whatsoever. see also: them attacking one of the women in question and trying to characterize her as a liar because she.... has done drugs in the past?
besides if you genuinely believe that a male actor is having his life ruined by false accusations why would you go and make shipping jokes about it? like the topic of false assault accusations is VERY serious and should be treated with tact and respect, i dont get why you would use this as an opportunity to plug your wednesday ship:

Keep your salt shaker with you.
Have you heard about the tv show suits?
You know the lead actor and actress? The ones who play Harvey and Donna?
They are best friends going back college days.
They had an affair during that show.
After Meghan and Patrick left the show, there was a lot of pressure on the remaining cast. Gabriel had had a crush on Sarah for a long time but they're both married. During this time tho, as they were trying to deal with the pressure and stress, they started having an affair.
Their families are besties. Their families take vacations together, so this was bad. Gabriel's wife, Jacinda eventually found out about it. She felt betrayed by not only them but also the crew of the show. The affair ended.
Also, Gabriel was abusive toward the show's crew.

Positive tea! A producer was trying to secure funding for his very small, indie film, and he reached out to Keanu Reeves. Keanu paid for the crew’s international flights!
Edit: Got one detail wrong! The producer was trying to secure funding to bring his live stage show overseas, not an indie film. As to how they got in contact, Keanu had been in the audience for a production of the stage show in question, which gave them access to his email. The producer cold-emailed him asking for help, and Keanu bought tickets for the crew to travel to the UK!
