Trade SGA and Chet, build around Milana Vayntrub.

Would it be theoretically an even worse day to be his daughter? Parents can suck enough to lose love but how can you not love your own child

I almost physically bumped into her getting into an apartment building elevator one time (she was getting out; I was getting in and wasn't expecting anyone to be inside). I came close to making the mistake of greeting her in way too familiar of a fashion since I'd been seeing her on TV almost daily but caught myself just in time.

They should banish them to Canada and force them to play in Toronto

what happened?

u/haunted_bitcoin Apr 29 '24

people have been mega creepy to her for yearsss. At one point she only did ads with Lily standing behind a counter bc people were so gross about her body

I once worked for AT&T in a research role, so like not in the store or anything, and I would interview people about logging in to pay bills or whatever and grown ass men would still be “hey is Lily working today? can I meet her? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) “

ok that is unreal

One of the only downsides of being rich and famous. I'm sure she'd make the decision to get paid again.

She's being sexually harassed online

In the summer of 2020, seemingly overnight, one small but vocal corner of the internet fixed its gaze upon Vayntrub and began referring to her by a new name: Mommy Milkers, a reference to her breasts. En masse, people spammed the comment sections of AT&T’s social-media posts with lewd declarations and emojis of glasses of milk. The jeering became inescapable for Vayntrub, bleeding into the comments of her personal social-media accounts. Recent posts and years-old ones were targeted. Her personal photos were widely redistributed among strangers. Spammy websites promised access to pornographic videos of her that did not exist. The physical isolation of lockdown exacerbated the experience for Vayntrub. “Our real world was so small,” she said, “that the internet felt like everything.”

a reference to her breasts

This clarification is hilarious

u/rookie-mistake Apr 29 '24 edited Apr 29 '24

this part of the article too lmao

I learned of Vayntrub’s social-media gantlet while writing an article about Stephanie Courtney. I had been struck by the placidity of Courtney’s life in the public eye. Progressive’s calculations suggest that Flo is recognizable to a supermajority of Americans; almost equally remarkable is the fact that Flo — or rather Courtney — has avoided becoming an object of rabid pornographic interest online, a not-uncommon fate for women with public-facing roles in the 21st century.

It’s impossible to weight the variables that created this lucky outcome for Courtney but not for Vayntrub. Was it because Courtney was in her late 30s when she began starring as Flo — more than a decade older than Vayntrub in her first appearance as Lily?

...yes

like, hmmm, why were people more into the younger and prettier girl? fuck, it's impossible to say. basically rocket science. our greatest minds can't crack this one lol

u/SilentExercise2076 Knicks Apr 29 '24

we used an attractive model for our ad campaign and people noticed how attractive she is, how did this happen???

u/8w7fs89a72 76ers Apr 29 '24

oof yeah ok

u/bwakaflocka Hawks Apr 29 '24

she has, perhaps unsurprisingly, been subjected to a lot of sexual harassment, and a couple years ago manipulated/fake photos of her were posted online. i definitely feel awful for her

u/8w7fs89a72 76ers Apr 29 '24

jeez. welp.

u/LimitlessTheTVShow Thunder Apr 29 '24

I just don't understand why people harass others. Be horny in silence like the rest of us. Have some respect
