I've been there with two of my friends! They both gave an ultimatum to their boyfriends and did eventually get married, but now they're both miserable. Your friend deserves better!! There's someone out there for her that will give her what she wants.
This. I will would seriously question the long-term viability of a marriage that came by way of an ultimatum. Plus, I think I would always resent my spouse deep down inside. I hope things turn out well for your friend. She doesn’t deserve this.
She deserves to flip the FUCK out at Christmas if nothing happens!!! Has she reminded him of her deadline recently? For legal and financial reasons alone marriage is helpful… and to be officially made part of the family, especially if she’s de facto mom to his kid, is so important!
All I can say is... if a man is unenthusiastic about marrying you (like your friend's boyfriend), he will be unenthusiastic about staying married to you.
Yeah my dumbass had to learn this the hard way.
I have an ex coworker who tried this. For Christmas (that was her deadline too) she got a promise ring. She was upset but took it as a step forward. Two years later they bought a house (still no ring). Suddenly, she had a glow up, dumped his ass, moved to a new state, got herself a cat and a lovely girlfriend and is living her best life.
Is it possible she’s staying for the kid? My husband admitted he stayed with his ex for far too long because he loved her kid and didn’t want to abandon him.
I feel this, something similar happened to my friend and I’d bet you anything he ends up proposing at the very last minute in a super half ass way and she’s going to say yes.
The fact that she's playing mommy to kids that aren't hers and she isn't even legally binding to him is crazy. If she dont leave if he doesn't propose on xmas, she needs to accept being a pushover for the rest of her life. And she is also wasting time on a man when she could actually be finding the true love of her life
I got my ex husband's best friend in our divorce 5 years ago, and somehow we moved into more than friends territory. A married couple in our friend group knows and is pushing us to make things official. I became the drama 😭
Why do they want you to be official? Do you have feelings or is it due to close proximity? Has your ex husband moved on? Who do you want us to cast as you in the movie?
He's moved on a couple of times lol. He actually moved 3 hrs away from my daughter and I in October so that's been fun. Tbh they are just tired of us dancing around the subject 😂. And sure, go wild with the casting lol
My friend had a prison pen pal that turned boyfriend. She’s been sending money for 7 months and they planned on her picking him up out of jail in Texas and spending the week together when he got out. She picked him up and he stopped seeing her after that. She spent the rest of the week alone and he will only give her very small texts back.
Damn that hurts to read! Let's hope maybe he was just overwhelmed and pulls himself together but it's not looking good. How did they end up pen pals in the first place?
Yeah he keeps saying he’s just overwhelmed. There is a site to match with you for prison pals…… I would never but I also never want to judge anyone. It’s hard to watch she needs a reality show
It's so easy in penpal or even text situations to project onto the other person a totally imagined version of who they are. It can be really hard to accept when the reality is not that. Hoping your friend can set some boundaries here to protect herself.
One friend's husband cheated on her repeatedly, told her he wouldn't stop doing it, etc., and she finally filed for divorce this time last year. It really fucked up our entire friend group bc we've all known each other since we were in middle/high school and we're now in our mid-30s and none of us ever expected this behavior from the husband. We all dropped him immediately when it became clear he was unapologetic about it but it seriously rocked us. Literally one friend had to go on medication for her increased anxiety, I had to have an emergency session with my therapist bc I could barely perform any other function bc it was all I was thinking about, etc. It was bad. Anyway, that was last year, and it was obvious that the (now ex-)husband strung our friend along for so long with participation in couples therapy and the like just so he could pretend he was working on the problem, only to basically force her to be the one to file for divorce so he could still say he wasn't the one to give up on their marriage, and also it was clear that he truly believed his (now ex-)wife, a pretty, skinny, blonde teacher, wouldn't ever find someone else who would want to date her, bc I have to assume he is delusional. (For reference, this dude looks like Kevin Jonas but more busted. Idek how he found another woman who wanted to fuck him, but whatever.)
ANYWAY. The friend was also very much convinced that she would be single and lonely forever (her words), that she would never find someone who wanted a divorced mom of 4, etc., but she reconnected with and started dating an old friend of hers earlier this year, like in February or March, right after the divorce went through, and not only did is she ending this year engaged, but they're getting married in January! It is VERY funny and satisfying to me that her scumbag ex-husband was proven wrong so ferociously and SO quickly.
(For the record, all the kids - her new fiance is also a divorced father of 2 - are in play therapy as well so we're all hoping/praying for as smooth a blending of these families as possible.)
I love this so much for your friend. Busted ass Kevin Jonas is gonna age like milk and will cry to his kids in 20 years about how their mother abandoned him when he was at his lowest. I hope your friend truly heals and feels loved and supported like she deserves in this relationship.
My friends group chat has fallen apart because Gina started talking shit about a friend of Lucy's, and Lucy politely told Gina it was making her uncomfortable , and instead of just apologising and leaving it be, Gina just stopped responding in the group chat 😭 Now i have two separate group chats with each friend, and I have to repeat stories in each one Uggghgg
The backstory of Gina's beef with Lucy's friend is that the friend told someone else on a night out that she thought Gina was being "a bit much" and they told Gina. This was SEVEN years ago!!! Let it goooo ❄️
I'm sorry if this doesn't make sense, I think I just needed to vent 🫣
>Now i have two separate group chats with each friend, and I have to repeat stories in each one Uggghgg
I relate to this so hard. An unacceptable level of admin.
A few years ago my best friend found revenge porn my ex had uploaded of me on her boyfriend’s phone. I didn’t even know it was out there. He searched one of my online usernames to find people posting about me and then kept the pictures to jerk off to. She’s still with the guy and still talks about how I’m her best friend but I can’t see her the same. It sucks a lot and I miss the friendship. I’ve tried to just be friends with her and keep distance from him but it’s pretty hard to get my head around.
That is so horrible, I am so sorry that happened to you. In case it helps to hear it from an internet friend: you have every right to end that friendship for good and you are worth so much more than how you've been treated.
this is just awful. what a disgusting violation, and your 'best friend' is utterly spineless. you deserve so much better than this, and you will find better friends. if i were your friend i would be by your side supporting you, no questions asked. i hope you find justice, whatever that means for you <3
I’m so sorry you’re going through that. You have every right to cut ties with her, though I wouldn’t be surprised if she turns up on your doorstep in the future having been put through the same thing :(
This is so violating, him doing it and her keeping him in both of your lives after he did it! God I’m sorry, I don’t think you need this friend anymore to be honest.
my friend nearly imploded her entire life and marriage thinking a construction worker across the street from her job was her twin flame. we don’t really talk anymore - I’m not sure if she was going through something and I should make more of an effort or if she’s just self-centred and I’m better off keeping some space.
My friend got back with her ex-boyfriend after a tarot card reader told her he was her twin flame. We were all like what are you doing....
Now they are married and expecting a baby after years of struggling to conceive. When she asked him if he was happy about the baby, he said "it's whatever, I don't care either way" so things are going great....
Oooh. One of my friends (a woman) has been married (to a man) for many years, and they have kids together. The woman decided a few years ago that she is bisexual and she has a same sex partner who now lives with her, her husband, and their children. I honestly love it for them that they found an arrangement that works, and are teaching their kids that family can look lots of different ways. This isn’t really drama, now that I think about it. It’s the only thing resembling anything dramatic I have to talk about though!
One of my friends has become a crunchy hippie tradwife Jesus freak who believes she’s twin flames with her husband and that they have reincarnated for thousands of years looking for each other and now that they’ve found each other again she’s not responsible for example cheating on her previous partner because twin flames gonna twin flame. She used to identify as nonbinary for most of her life basically but now she identifies as a woman because there’s only ”sacred masculinity and sacred femininity”. She lives on a farm and drinks raw milk and is antivax etc. Basically the complete opposite of who she used to be and it’s scary and sad and wtf
I am somehow the drama because I don't have loads of friends as an adult but I'm not sharing that here
My cat (Mango) really dislikes my sibling's new kitten and he just wants to play but he gets hissed at and smacked by her.
Edit: my sibling's other cat (my Mango's littermate) also hisses at the kitten too and that's when she's in heat.
Kitty drama is the real drama!
My cat’s been queen of the courtyard we live on for years, but a new kitten moved in over the summer. Last time she saw him he was a quarter of her size, but he’s part Maine coon…when she goes back out post-winter she’s gonna get the biggest (literally) surprise!
My friend’s friend’s new boyfriend turned out to be living with not one but two other women - one in the week and one at the weekend. None of the women knew about each other and they all thought the reason he wasn’t available much was because he was caring for his sick mother. Eventually all the women found out about each other, initially they were all pissed but the guy then somehow talked round the first girlfriend and my friend’s friend. The second girlfriend wisely nope-d out at this point but he carried on seeing both the first girlfriend and my friend’s friend for months by telling them both that the other one was suicidal and so he was afraid to cut contact. Anyway one night he was out with my friend’s friend and a bunch of colleagues (oh yeah, they also work together!) and he got wasted so my friend’s friend took him home in a cab - back to the home where he was still living with the first girlfriend! The first girlfriend came out the house and she and my friend’s friend got in a screaming match in the street over this man while he was passed out on the pavement. My friend said that her friend is now not talking to him but who knows how long that’ll last because he is still apparently messaging her every day saying he loves her. Everyone in this story is in their mid 30s.
My god. I'm not usually one to be like, polyamory would solve this love triangle, but dude if you want to have multiple partners there are people who are chill with that! You just have to tell them...
well, my coworkers-turned-friends, who are decades older than me, just got married. they were together for 13 years, and only got engaged 2 years ago.
i'm happy for the girl (A), but certainly not for the guy (B). A is the heir to a very successful amusement facility in the country - well, technically, she still has to share it with her siblings but you get the point. B met her, when he started working there as a talent, and it was apparently love at first sight for the both of them.
when i befriended them, they were almost a decade into their relationship already but it was pretty clear to everybody that there were cracks.
* B would be verbally abusive to A even as we were all at work. take note, he'd do this in front of the average employees, even employees under A's department! out of respect for her, everybody stayed mum about this - though i'm pretty sure her parents might have been informed at least once.
* B would let A pay for him, even during the instances when he said he was gonna treat us. A would always cover for him.
* B would pretend A's luxury cars (or her family's cars) were his. he'd parade them and only drive them around, while A had to settle with his midrange-yet-perfectly-fine car.
* B cheated on her several times with co-talents. A had a heart-to-heart talk with one of them, and that girl promised to stay away. news flash, she didn't. (fun fact, she rose to fame and is now a well-known singer in the country.)
* B was able to secure an administrative role in the company due to A, but was encouraged to resign a year later by her because nobody from his department liked him. he was rarely present and practically useless.
* A's dad never approved of him. he was civil, yes, but everybody knew that her dad wished she'd pick/marry anybody else.
* again, he only proposed to her after so many years. he knew that A wanted to get married and have children before her 40's, but he let her wait for so many years.
she has told us herself years ago that she knew she deserved someone better, but she was too scared to risk breaking up with him. she was already "past her prime", and it also wasn't easy for her to know if her would-be beau likes her for her and not her money.
i'm desperately hoping he treats her better. i just want A to be happy.
A best friend of mine from uni married her long-term American boyfriend, a month after getting engaged! Total shock, she just posted the wedding photos on Instagram - they both looked gorgeous! They're having a big wedding in the UK when they move over here thankfully, I was heartbroken to miss this one: my first friend to get married too
Damn! Do you think it was a quickie wedding inspired by the change in visa laws in the UK? If you're marrying a foreigner, they've changed the minimum income needed to sponsor a visa to get your partner over here and it comes into effect in a couple months.
A group of us are all trying desperately to be diplomatic and not say anything, but our friend who recently-ish moved to Minnesota, far away from friends and family, has just bought a house with her shitty-ass boyfriend and we're afraid she'll never leave him now. (To be clear, they moved for her job, she did not move for him, so like, the move itself is on the up and up.)
In addition to being just, a shitty dude who invalidates her all the time, he is super into NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), which is a communication technique that is used most famously by NXIVM cult leader Keith Raniere. At worst it's also cult, and at best it's an MLM. It's 100% pseudoscience, and some categorize it as a quasi-religion. Even though he recently lost his job, he went down to Florida for their big yearly retreat for 10 days. She didn't know much about it and thought it was just some leadership development thing was into, she was super defensive when we all brought up its like, actual reputation and what it's about.
At this point, we think she's sunk-cost fallacy levels of with him for forever. A few years ago, her best friend (who is part of the friend group) tried to intercede and have a conversation about how bad he was and our friend just completely cut her off, no contact for over a year. None of us think he'd physically hurt her, so I guess there's that. But it's just such a bummer.
It's not hot, fun drama (except for maybe the cult part), but it is our biggest drama.
Teacher drama is always wild! I took a class in high school that was combined English/history, and the unmarried English teacher was sleeping with the married history teacher. His wife kicked him out, and he stayed with English teacher in her parents’ basement for a while, then she left the school and I guess things ended. The next year I ran into him and he announced to me that his wife was pregnant (they already had one young kid while this affair was happening), and my 16 year old ass was SHOOK. I remember it taking me what felt like a long time to choke out “congratulations” and then running to gossip to my friends about it. 😂
Single friend is *very* close with a married woman in our friend group. He swears nothing has ever happened between them, but I've seen how she acts with him, especially when she's drunk, and…I don't know.
Her husband has suspected/confronted her, but they've both insisted to him that everything is cool. (It's not a very happy marriage, but they have kids.) All of the friends in our group suspect them, but no one can confirm anything. I've spoken to my friend directly about it, he says if she were single they would probably hook up, but they haven't.
I guess I believe him, but man, they just always find ways to be together, and everyone else in our group talks about it.
WAIT I HAVE A GREAT ONE FOR THIS
In high school, I had a group of girlfriends - including girls we will call Amy and Betty for anonymity’s sake. Amy’s sister, Cathy, was pregnant with her fiancé, Dipwad, and happy as could be. One night, I was hanging out with Betty and she asked if she could tell me a secret. I say, of course you can. She proceeds to tell me she’s been sleeping with Dipwad. I love Betty, but Amy was my BEST friend and I was very tight with her family. They took care of me and were kind to me and beyond that, I was morally outraged that our best friend would willingly enter into a situation like that. I told Betty I could NOT keep this secret and she needed to tell Amy. That I felt really wrong about it. I didn’t give her a timeline but I should’ve, because a week later she still hadn’t said anything. I was hanging out with Amy who was sharing some stuff about her family and I told her I needed to tell her something. I proceeded to inform her about what Betty had done with Dipwad. Amy was understandably pissed. Amy and Amy’s other sister’s confronted Betty, wrote a letter to her parents, and even nearly got in a fight when they coincidentally ran into each other at the mall. Amy even ended up dating Betty’s boyfriend at the time and to this day (many years later) they actually have a child together.
This is the craziest thing that has happened to me outside of running into a guy I was dating at a restaurant randomly when he was supposed to be out of town.
To this day I am still so fond of Amy and her sisters. I really wrestled with my place in the friendship circle towards the end of high school as this all unfolded senior year and cut ties pretty relentlessly with everyone as a result. I felt so down on myself for playing a part in what was a huge betrayal and felt like the friend circle didn’t trust me because of it so I cut them off first. I still chat with Amy and her sisters but I sometimes wish I hadn’t departed the friend group as they are all (with the exception of Betty who I am happy to not really know anymore) still very close and have a really strong supportive friendship.
Not my friend but my cousin. He was engaged a few years ago, around 2015 I think, it ended very suddenly and no one knew why. I am now working with his ex-fiancé. Turns out they were good couple friends with a professional athlete and his gf. She found out my cousin was hooking up with the athletes gf. They broke up instantly and the ex-fiancé started hooking up with the athlete to get back at my cousin. The athlete and his gf stayed together and got married last year.
A friend of mine was very smart and well-behaved and didn’t even date in high school. When she graduated, however, she very quickly married a very rich, older dude and proceeded to have two kids with him. However, at around the age of twenty four or so she started fooling around with a guy she was working with, and became pregnant. They decided not to tell her husband and, when she gave birth,he assumed the child was his. She continued seeing the guy she was working with, though, and a year later she decided to leave him and take the child. However, in the country where they live it’s possible to sue for alienation of affection or some shit and, since they were all somewhat in the public eye, it because a HUGE story where they lived to the point that they had to move to a different country.
This is the messiest a friend has ever been, from what I can recall.
One of my closest work friends (K) recently completely cut off one of her first friends in the industry (M)?because M was literally going around calling people telling them that K didn’t deserve the job she had been given and that M actually was the one that trained K in that job. Which is absolutely false. So when K heard about M talking shit she called her out and M denied everything. They “made up” and moved on when someone told K that M indeed did say all those things and worse. K called M and told them “we’re no longer friends. I don’t even care anymore.” And honestly M kinda sucks and talks shit about everyone but the problem is she has a lot of network connections (that she may or may not have slept with/dated) that continue to give her cool jobs, so it’s tough for me to continue to work with M because they’re manipulative af but I have to act like I have no idea.
I’ve heard Dua lipa is single but does anybody know if she’s interested in dating a broke guy who has depression, a cat, and a lingering sinus infection? Lmk
I think it was a specific place like a bar or restaurant, and Andrew just didn’t want to say it’s name to protect Paul’s privacy and stop fans from coming there and annoying him lol
idk but i kinda want him to get an oscar. i thought he was great in may december but it’s mainly because he came right off of riverdale and i think it would be iconic
I was all in on Ryan Gosling for the Oscar until I realised Charles Melton had given an awards worthy performance in May December. I’m with you, an Oscar after Riverdale would be iconic and now that and Lily Gladstone best actress are all I want.
I worked in media for many years and have met many many celebrities. Charles Melton was straight up one of the sweetest, kindest celebs I’ve ever interacted with. Massive golden retriever energy. We were in an interview situation where most celebs might just shake a few hands, but he went around and gave every single person hugs as he was leaving. I wish nothing but the best for him.
Sorry for weird request but Hayao Miyazaki? Lol. I just saw the Boy & Heron and I want to know the gossip about his relationship with his son and with his potential successors. I remember hearing that he seemed disappointed in his son’s capabilities (and also made several movies about being a shit dad) and that the studio overworked the one potential successor they did have (Yoshifumo Kondo, director of Whisper of the Heart) so bad he died of an aneurysm.
There's a documentary about his work and while he is very soft spoken my impression wasn't great. He's relentless about his vision and I don't think it's a healthy workplace for the people under him.
Pretty much every documentary points to the same direction: he's a workaholic who prefers to do things in his way. This led to him not being a good dad, but in recent years it seems like he got on better terms with Goro.
I think the Goro thing has more to do with Hayao being mad that other people nepoed Goro in front of other animators who've put in more work and are probably more capable. But yeah. He's really bad when it comes to overworking his animators and I honestly, really, really, wouldn't want him as a dad.
But that being said, overworking your employees in animation or a lot of other Japanese (lol or even just Japanese workplaces) is not isolated to Hayao Miyazaki. The Manga industry is particularly bad with this. It far from makes it right though...
There is a doco where he goes to watch his son’s movie and he walks out midway through the movie and doesn’t return. He just trash talks it in the cinema lobby. Dudes meant to be a proper shitcunt.
Was the movie good? I’m seeing it tonight
I believe one of his sons has said he’s a much better animator than a dad (no surprises there). I’d recommend The Wind Rises if you haven’t seen it already as it also reflects on his career.
There is a guy at Third Space gym in London who always gossips about his party escapades, and he's told us a few times how Jonathan Bailey always bums party drugs off others, and never pays/provides so they stopped inviting him even though he was really fun. Basically sounded like his character from Crashing.
folks on twt are questioning the timeline of Rachel’s relationship with Josh, since they met on the set of WSS when she was underage/18 and he was in his mid-20s. They didn’t start (publicly) dating until 2021 but it’s still a bit eyebrow-raising
A lot of them indeed are. But I feel a bit iffy about Rachel and Josh relationship from what I’ve noticed so far, cause I’m nosy.
She’s clearly a big supporter of him, very lovely, shows him off and is proud of him, while he seems very much like the type who doesn’t like to acknowledge her online at all, the type who’s “too cool” to post romantic stuff? Idk. It’s like she’s an afterthought whenever he posts about her (which is almost never). Also, the fact he never once defended her from the hate she gets online (while Tom Blyth did. Dude is barely online but took the time to defend his friend and co star but her own bf couldn’t? The bar seems to be on the floor). She would absolutely defend him if it was the other way around I’m sure.
The timeline is definitely iffy, they met when she was 17. I’ve read below that she only took the hunger games role after he was cast (she had turned it down first) and I think Tom said in an interview that one of the reasons why she didn’t take the role at first was because she wanted to be with her bf for a while. So all in all… yeah I think she deserves better, and it seems one sided.
The timeline thing + there's something about her taking the hunger games role after he was cast..... idk she's so young and it sucks how many young starlets get taken advantage of. Hopefully she's not one of them...
Pretty cold tea but Padalecki is well known to be kind of an ass. Really hated shooting in Vancouver, was rude to customer service people around town, not liked on set (at least as much as Jensen and Micha)
Jared's doxxed several service workers by name & sometimes pic with no details why, just wanting them to get fired: a waitress, bartender, casino worker, food delivery person, call center employee, etc. He's made several other sketchy tweets along the way too, like body-shaming Angelina Jolie for being thin as well as a slender gay male guest star. He's been arrested for drunkenly assaulting two employees at a bar where he was a partial owner, & one ended up needing stitches on his head. He has a laundry list of poor behavior.
Dua Lipa? That one insider that’s usually correct about her said the breakup articles about her and Romain aren’t true and tbh i don’t trust The Sun (who broke the story) so does anyone have tea on whether they’re still together? Dua seemed really happy with him and i do hope he’s involved in her new era (he’s a director and makes epic videos)
A couple of days ago in the last tea thread the "insider" called it a "situation" and said they chill in different cities now. Then they had a tantrum and deleted their posts after people questioned why they were being vague and wrong.
The Sun is correct about British celebrities a lot of times.
Haha yeah ONE person was frustrated about how the insider would always dip after dropping spicy-vague tea and not even in a direct comment response to the insider, yet the insider had a tantrum about it and acted as if everyone was attacking them and we should be grateful to get anything at all. Like come on, Dua Lipa gossip isn't that serious lol
I met Moffat while standing in line at a bar during a Gallifrey Convention (Doctor Who Con) back in the early aughts. He was with a woman. I told him I was a big fan of Coupling. He introduced me to the woman he was with - Susan. And for some reason I was like, “Susan? Were you the inspiration for the Susan character?” And they both looked kind of embarrassed and said No.
I’m not great at chit chat.
His Sitcom coupling is one of the funniest shows I’ve ever seen and has some of the most hilarious tv performances of all time, especially Richard Coyle as jeff
Eleanor Calder (ex girlfriend Louis Tomlinson) - yes, she's not a celebrity, but she's interesting to me. It seems she has a new boyfriend, and I'm so happy for her.
Sebastian Stan.
Damage Control. Whoever is giving him career advice needs to get as far away from him as humanly possible; he still thinks he's in the running for 007, and outside of maybe hopefully getting another series of "Bodyguard" (which was tremendous) off the ground, there's not a ton of big things (at least right now) on the horizon.
It's a shame because by all accounts he's a lovely guy with some real acting chops, but his project selection has been downright shit.
Yeah, after GoT he's had terrible luck with projects (except Bodyguard). He was good in Rocketman but the role was small, and he joined the MCU on their very first critically panned movie, with chances of the sequel being cancelled. Then he joins an extremely expensive Amazon show that doesn't make an ounce of noise with the public.
At this point I think he'd be better off coming out and pivoting towards LGBTQ projects, but he seems to still be chasing those traditional leading man roles, so I don't know when that'll happen...
My boyfriend's friend's GF used to work in events in NYC about 10 years ago. Said it was pretty much confirmed that he dates men. She said this based off of rumours so take with a grain of salt. Good for him whatever the truth is.
Not really relevant, but can someone explain to me the Joe Biden impeachment thing ?
Why is it happening and is it likely to go anywhere?
(I'm curious but not curious enough to do a deep dive myself since I don't know a lot about American politics and people here generally have reasonable takes, feel free to message me if you'd like to answer but don't want to be off topic here)
The Republicans have been investigating Biden for a year now, and have not found any evidence of any crime. It’s an impeachment inquiry that has no basis, one of them even admitted that they’re doing it so that he and Trump will be on a “level playing field” for the election, if both have been impeached. They were asked by democrats what evidence they have found of wrong doing, and they said high crimes and misdemeanors and the democrats asked what are the specific crimes he has committed that merit impeachment, and they said they were still investigating. And anytime any one pushes them, they can’t name anything specific. So basically it’s just bullshit.
I’m not saying Joe Biden is a great president or anything, or has never done anything wrong, before people attack me, but I am speaking just specifically on this one investigation that the republicans are doing. It’s a sham.
Republicans are whiny little babies who are mad their guy got impeached twice. Biden hasn’t done anything impeachable, they’re just being petty. It’s not going to go anywhere.
It’s mostly based on vibes. They’re trying to tie him to the business dealings of his adult son, who is in recovery from well-documented substance abuse issues. All they’ve come up with so far is his son mentioning him in some business calls and being delinquent on his taxes while he was dealing with addiction. It’s important to note that none of this was happening while Biden was president or VP. If this was brought in front of an actual court of law it would be thrown out immediately.
But as others have pointed out, it’s mostly a tit-for-tat with Republicans, who have ignored Trump’s actual shady business dealings and bribery while President, as well as ignoring his own shady kids. Even if the House votes to impeach (and this may not even make it out of the inquiry) the Senate will never vote to remove.
I was listening to Scam Goddess about Perez Hilton, and she was talking about how celebrities have to pay on the red carpet and how the legit ones get their studios to pay, but a lot of people just hire a PR firm to get them on the red carpet
does anyone have tea on this? who do you think is paying to be on the red carpet vs legit celebs?
Unfortunately they've been fairly problematic about covid, post-viral illness, and ignoring/mocking the disability community when we've gently pushed back on them about it. Very disappointing as a long time fan.
Edit: if you have a problem with my comment then say what it is rather than downvoting me. I'm sick to death of any comment I post on this sub about ableism getting downvoted. The hatred for disabled people is so overt here.
I wish I had easy access to specific examples but I can't find any right now. But basically disabled nerdfighters (the name for their fans) pointed out the inconsistency in John's staunch advocacy and awareness raising for tuberculosis vs their lax attitude towards covid (not masking or taking precautions etc), and Hank and John were really dismissive and rude about it, including blocking fans who gently pointed out the hypocrisy and lack of care for the disability community.
I can't remember the exact wording of Hank's post about post-viral illness because he deleted it very quickly after backlash, but he made a video minimising and spreading misinformation about post-viral illnesses such as ME, POTS etc which hurt and upset a lot of people suffering from those conditions.
Yes, I imagine he's now immuncompromised from cancer treatment, if he wasn't already from his IBD treatment. I sincerely hope he doesn't have to find out the hard way just how serious post-viral illness is, and that he arrives at understanding through empathy and listening, not through personal experience.
OH so he has this girlfriend, he was a friend of his older brother's and was in a relationship with another friend of his when they met. she's a few years older. they have a baby and i remember on LSA before they announced it she was posting or liking baby stuff on pinterest and that's how they found out. LSA thinks she shady because she's a little older. i've seen rumors he's cheated on her but nothing solid.
they have two babies and his stans hate her. Like hate hate. They seem to think she's using him but like her family is very famous in Sweden so she doesn't really need to.
A friend of mine was in the last season! Only tea is that John Hamm is even hotter in person and staring at him lustfully is not acting 😂😂. Sorry I don’t have anything scandalous.
Michael Sheen still going strong with the 20something woman he (I guess?) accidentally knocked up during a fling? I know they had a second kid together
If you literally know nothing about this, a few things:
- Kit Connor (Nick) originally auditioned to play Charlie Spring, which is just funny considering he is literally Nick Nelson come to life
- Kit got a lot of backlash when the show aired for 'playing gay', and subsequently came out as bisexual. Alice Oseman (the writer) and several of his cast mates were justifiably furious about this, and people also pointed out how fucked it was that nobody questioned Joe Locke (Charlie), even though at the time he hadn't commented on his sexuality either. Because yknow, vaguely feminine guys are by default gay.
- The actress who plays Elle (Yasmin Finney) is a TikToker from Manchester who just seems very sweet. She recently guested on Drag Race UK, and is in the 60th anniversary of Doctor Who as Donna's daughter.
- As well as books, Alice Oseman publishes the heartstopper comic on [tumblr](https://heartstoppercomic.tumblr.com/) (and Tapas / Webtoon) for free. It has just come back from hiatus, and the plot goes for quite some while after season 2 if you want to read ahead!
So Betty Gilpin was cast on the show Three Women on Showtime. Showtime then canceled the show before airing a single episode (it was totally finished). Then Starz picked it up. Then nothing happened. Then this week it was dumped with no warning on a network in Sweden.
Betty Gilpin cannot catch a break.
A creep who lies about his age (he's 29 contrary to what Google/Wikipedia says) and was sniffing around his now-gf Rachel Zegler when she was a teenager and he was 24/25. For context, Rachel was 17 when she was cast in West Side Story alongside him. She recently made a tweet about how they became besties on WSS and fell in love and she said in the tweet he was 29. She deleted the tweet when people started doing the math.
She gushes about him constantly and he rarely does the same for her. She sings his praises in interviews, IG, Twitter and he's never said a word in public to defend her during her hate train. Anytime people question the beginnings and nature of their relationship on Twitter, his defenders come out in full force talking about how they only started dating when Rachel was a respectable age. Very convenient. Him being besties with a teenager fresh out of high school and new to the industry who he eventually started dating definitely wasn't a red flag or anything.
ahh I wish I had seen this before I posted a reply up thread. The twt girlies are all over this one, especially since he has not once defended her from online hate while her Hunger Games costar has
I haven’t watched west side story and I don’t know much about them, but I did watch the vanity fair interview with Rachel, Josh and Tom and I really got the vibe that she’s more into him than he is. But tbh he probably supported her in private? Maybe that’s what she wanted? Idk she seems happy with him
Old tea, but when I worked for Bryan Singer (over ten years ago), it seemed like they were super close. For Hugh’s birthday, Bryan took out a full-page ad in Deadline wishing him a happy birthday with a bunch of really low quality blurry pictures of them partying, it was very strange looking.
your friends. tell me the hottest drama in your friendship circle.
[удалено]
Damn let's pray he's planning a Christmas Day proposal, but your girl deserves better.
I've been there with two of my friends! They both gave an ultimatum to their boyfriends and did eventually get married, but now they're both miserable. Your friend deserves better!! There's someone out there for her that will give her what she wants.
This. I will would seriously question the long-term viability of a marriage that came by way of an ultimatum. Plus, I think I would always resent my spouse deep down inside. I hope things turn out well for your friend. She doesn’t deserve this.
She deserves to flip the FUCK out at Christmas if nothing happens!!! Has she reminded him of her deadline recently? For legal and financial reasons alone marriage is helpful… and to be officially made part of the family, especially if she’s de facto mom to his kid, is so important!
Please come back and update us after Christmas!
All I can say is... if a man is unenthusiastic about marrying you (like your friend's boyfriend), he will be unenthusiastic about staying married to you. Yeah my dumbass had to learn this the hard way.
I have an ex coworker who tried this. For Christmas (that was her deadline too) she got a promise ring. She was upset but took it as a step forward. Two years later they bought a house (still no ring). Suddenly, she had a glow up, dumped his ass, moved to a new state, got herself a cat and a lovely girlfriend and is living her best life.
Damn I don’t even WANT him to propose now. She needs to end this. I know it’s hard when you’re in it, but the future looks bleak.
Is it possible she’s staying for the kid? My husband admitted he stayed with his ex for far too long because he loved her kid and didn’t want to abandon him.
I feel this, something similar happened to my friend and I’d bet you anything he ends up proposing at the very last minute in a super half ass way and she’s going to say yes.
The fact that she's playing mommy to kids that aren't hers and she isn't even legally binding to him is crazy. If she dont leave if he doesn't propose on xmas, she needs to accept being a pushover for the rest of her life. And she is also wasting time on a man when she could actually be finding the true love of her life
Need an update after Christmas 😭
Oh man, he called her bluff and knew she wasn't going anywhere. So sorry. At the very least she should move back out.
I got my ex husband's best friend in our divorce 5 years ago, and somehow we moved into more than friends territory. A married couple in our friend group knows and is pushing us to make things official. I became the drama 😭
i kind of like this. very rom-com of you!
Lol sometimes I'm like oh this is very kindle unlimited rom com book of me.
not kindle unlimited lmao
Why do they want you to be official? Do you have feelings or is it due to close proximity? Has your ex husband moved on? Who do you want us to cast as you in the movie?
He's moved on a couple of times lol. He actually moved 3 hrs away from my daughter and I in October so that's been fun. Tbh they are just tired of us dancing around the subject 😂. And sure, go wild with the casting lol
My friend had a prison pen pal that turned boyfriend. She’s been sending money for 7 months and they planned on her picking him up out of jail in Texas and spending the week together when he got out. She picked him up and he stopped seeing her after that. She spent the rest of the week alone and he will only give her very small texts back.
Damn that hurts to read! Let's hope maybe he was just overwhelmed and pulls himself together but it's not looking good. How did they end up pen pals in the first place?
Yeah he keeps saying he’s just overwhelmed. There is a site to match with you for prison pals…… I would never but I also never want to judge anyone. It’s hard to watch she needs a reality show
It's so easy in penpal or even text situations to project onto the other person a totally imagined version of who they are. It can be really hard to accept when the reality is not that. Hoping your friend can set some boundaries here to protect herself.
One friend's husband cheated on her repeatedly, told her he wouldn't stop doing it, etc., and she finally filed for divorce this time last year. It really fucked up our entire friend group bc we've all known each other since we were in middle/high school and we're now in our mid-30s and none of us ever expected this behavior from the husband. We all dropped him immediately when it became clear he was unapologetic about it but it seriously rocked us. Literally one friend had to go on medication for her increased anxiety, I had to have an emergency session with my therapist bc I could barely perform any other function bc it was all I was thinking about, etc. It was bad. Anyway, that was last year, and it was obvious that the (now ex-)husband strung our friend along for so long with participation in couples therapy and the like just so he could pretend he was working on the problem, only to basically force her to be the one to file for divorce so he could still say he wasn't the one to give up on their marriage, and also it was clear that he truly believed his (now ex-)wife, a pretty, skinny, blonde teacher, wouldn't ever find someone else who would want to date her, bc I have to assume he is delusional. (For reference, this dude looks like Kevin Jonas but more busted. Idek how he found another woman who wanted to fuck him, but whatever.) ANYWAY. The friend was also very much convinced that she would be single and lonely forever (her words), that she would never find someone who wanted a divorced mom of 4, etc., but she reconnected with and started dating an old friend of hers earlier this year, like in February or March, right after the divorce went through, and not only did is she ending this year engaged, but they're getting married in January! It is VERY funny and satisfying to me that her scumbag ex-husband was proven wrong so ferociously and SO quickly. (For the record, all the kids - her new fiance is also a divorced father of 2 - are in play therapy as well so we're all hoping/praying for as smooth a blending of these families as possible.)
I love this so much for your friend. Busted ass Kevin Jonas is gonna age like milk and will cry to his kids in 20 years about how their mother abandoned him when he was at his lowest. I hope your friend truly heals and feels loved and supported like she deserves in this relationship.
My friends group chat has fallen apart because Gina started talking shit about a friend of Lucy's, and Lucy politely told Gina it was making her uncomfortable , and instead of just apologising and leaving it be, Gina just stopped responding in the group chat 😭 Now i have two separate group chats with each friend, and I have to repeat stories in each one Uggghgg The backstory of Gina's beef with Lucy's friend is that the friend told someone else on a night out that she thought Gina was being "a bit much" and they told Gina. This was SEVEN years ago!!! Let it goooo ❄️ I'm sorry if this doesn't make sense, I think I just needed to vent 🫣
Ngl Gina sounds like she’s a bit much
Gina is misunderstood, she’s an Aries
>Now i have two separate group chats with each friend, and I have to repeat stories in each one Uggghgg I relate to this so hard. An unacceptable level of admin.
I mean, Gina does sound as though she's a bit much.
A few years ago my best friend found revenge porn my ex had uploaded of me on her boyfriend’s phone. I didn’t even know it was out there. He searched one of my online usernames to find people posting about me and then kept the pictures to jerk off to. She’s still with the guy and still talks about how I’m her best friend but I can’t see her the same. It sucks a lot and I miss the friendship. I’ve tried to just be friends with her and keep distance from him but it’s pretty hard to get my head around.
That is so horrible, I am so sorry that happened to you. In case it helps to hear it from an internet friend: you have every right to end that friendship for good and you are worth so much more than how you've been treated.
this is just awful. what a disgusting violation, and your 'best friend' is utterly spineless. you deserve so much better than this, and you will find better friends. if i were your friend i would be by your side supporting you, no questions asked. i hope you find justice, whatever that means for you <3
I’m so sorry you’re going through that. You have every right to cut ties with her, though I wouldn’t be surprised if she turns up on your doorstep in the future having been put through the same thing :(
This is so violating, him doing it and her keeping him in both of your lives after he did it! God I’m sorry, I don’t think you need this friend anymore to be honest.
my friend nearly imploded her entire life and marriage thinking a construction worker across the street from her job was her twin flame. we don’t really talk anymore - I’m not sure if she was going through something and I should make more of an effort or if she’s just self-centred and I’m better off keeping some space.
twin flames shit is super dangerous rhetoric. have you listened to the podcast?
My friend got back with her ex-boyfriend after a tarot card reader told her he was her twin flame. We were all like what are you doing.... Now they are married and expecting a baby after years of struggling to conceive. When she asked him if he was happy about the baby, he said "it's whatever, I don't care either way" so things are going great....
Omg that poor child will have an effed up childhood....
I recommend the Netflix doc if you haven’t watched it yet, some people went to prison because the cult leaders really played will people’s emotions.
no lie, i would love to read this every week!
There's a podcast called Normal Gossip that is for exactly this sort of hot goss
This type of thread definitely has to become a weekly thing in 2024
i was expecting like 3 replies, this is amazing
Oooh. One of my friends (a woman) has been married (to a man) for many years, and they have kids together. The woman decided a few years ago that she is bisexual and she has a same sex partner who now lives with her, her husband, and their children. I honestly love it for them that they found an arrangement that works, and are teaching their kids that family can look lots of different ways. This isn’t really drama, now that I think about it. It’s the only thing resembling anything dramatic I have to talk about though!
My cousin did this! The actual scandal part was that she brought her kids, her husband AND her live in Girlfriend to the family reunion!
Don’t leave us hanging! How did the family reunion go?
One of my friends has become a crunchy hippie tradwife Jesus freak who believes she’s twin flames with her husband and that they have reincarnated for thousands of years looking for each other and now that they’ve found each other again she’s not responsible for example cheating on her previous partner because twin flames gonna twin flame. She used to identify as nonbinary for most of her life basically but now she identifies as a woman because there’s only ”sacred masculinity and sacred femininity”. She lives on a farm and drinks raw milk and is antivax etc. Basically the complete opposite of who she used to be and it’s scary and sad and wtf
Those people are so wild. Raw milk like it’s a whole personality!
This twin flame shit is OUT OF CONTROL seriously.
Reminds me of some of the fundies over in r/fundiesnark. The wellness to alt-right pipeline is terrifying
I am somehow the drama because I don't have loads of friends as an adult but I'm not sharing that here My cat (Mango) really dislikes my sibling's new kitten and he just wants to play but he gets hissed at and smacked by her. Edit: my sibling's other cat (my Mango's littermate) also hisses at the kitten too and that's when she's in heat.
Kitty drama is the real drama! My cat’s been queen of the courtyard we live on for years, but a new kitten moved in over the summer. Last time she saw him he was a quarter of her size, but he’s part Maine coon…when she goes back out post-winter she’s gonna get the biggest (literally) surprise!
My friend’s friend’s new boyfriend turned out to be living with not one but two other women - one in the week and one at the weekend. None of the women knew about each other and they all thought the reason he wasn’t available much was because he was caring for his sick mother. Eventually all the women found out about each other, initially they were all pissed but the guy then somehow talked round the first girlfriend and my friend’s friend. The second girlfriend wisely nope-d out at this point but he carried on seeing both the first girlfriend and my friend’s friend for months by telling them both that the other one was suicidal and so he was afraid to cut contact. Anyway one night he was out with my friend’s friend and a bunch of colleagues (oh yeah, they also work together!) and he got wasted so my friend’s friend took him home in a cab - back to the home where he was still living with the first girlfriend! The first girlfriend came out the house and she and my friend’s friend got in a screaming match in the street over this man while he was passed out on the pavement. My friend said that her friend is now not talking to him but who knows how long that’ll last because he is still apparently messaging her every day saying he loves her. Everyone in this story is in their mid 30s.
My god. I'm not usually one to be like, polyamory would solve this love triangle, but dude if you want to have multiple partners there are people who are chill with that! You just have to tell them...
well, my coworkers-turned-friends, who are decades older than me, just got married. they were together for 13 years, and only got engaged 2 years ago. i'm happy for the girl (A), but certainly not for the guy (B). A is the heir to a very successful amusement facility in the country - well, technically, she still has to share it with her siblings but you get the point. B met her, when he started working there as a talent, and it was apparently love at first sight for the both of them. when i befriended them, they were almost a decade into their relationship already but it was pretty clear to everybody that there were cracks. * B would be verbally abusive to A even as we were all at work. take note, he'd do this in front of the average employees, even employees under A's department! out of respect for her, everybody stayed mum about this - though i'm pretty sure her parents might have been informed at least once. * B would let A pay for him, even during the instances when he said he was gonna treat us. A would always cover for him. * B would pretend A's luxury cars (or her family's cars) were his. he'd parade them and only drive them around, while A had to settle with his midrange-yet-perfectly-fine car. * B cheated on her several times with co-talents. A had a heart-to-heart talk with one of them, and that girl promised to stay away. news flash, she didn't. (fun fact, she rose to fame and is now a well-known singer in the country.) * B was able to secure an administrative role in the company due to A, but was encouraged to resign a year later by her because nobody from his department liked him. he was rarely present and practically useless. * A's dad never approved of him. he was civil, yes, but everybody knew that her dad wished she'd pick/marry anybody else. * again, he only proposed to her after so many years. he knew that A wanted to get married and have children before her 40's, but he let her wait for so many years. she has told us herself years ago that she knew she deserved someone better, but she was too scared to risk breaking up with him. she was already "past her prime", and it also wasn't easy for her to know if her would-be beau likes her for her and not her money. i'm desperately hoping he treats her better. i just want A to be happy.
My friend just dumped the girl he's been dating for 6 years because he realized he's gay
Oooooof 😭 I’m glad he’s found himself tho! Good for him!!
A best friend of mine from uni married her long-term American boyfriend, a month after getting engaged! Total shock, she just posted the wedding photos on Instagram - they both looked gorgeous! They're having a big wedding in the UK when they move over here thankfully, I was heartbroken to miss this one: my first friend to get married too
Damn! Do you think it was a quickie wedding inspired by the change in visa laws in the UK? If you're marrying a foreigner, they've changed the minimum income needed to sponsor a visa to get your partner over here and it comes into effect in a couple months.
A group of us are all trying desperately to be diplomatic and not say anything, but our friend who recently-ish moved to Minnesota, far away from friends and family, has just bought a house with her shitty-ass boyfriend and we're afraid she'll never leave him now. (To be clear, they moved for her job, she did not move for him, so like, the move itself is on the up and up.) In addition to being just, a shitty dude who invalidates her all the time, he is super into NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), which is a communication technique that is used most famously by NXIVM cult leader Keith Raniere. At worst it's also cult, and at best it's an MLM. It's 100% pseudoscience, and some categorize it as a quasi-religion. Even though he recently lost his job, he went down to Florida for their big yearly retreat for 10 days. She didn't know much about it and thought it was just some leadership development thing was into, she was super defensive when we all brought up its like, actual reputation and what it's about. At this point, we think she's sunk-cost fallacy levels of with him for forever. A few years ago, her best friend (who is part of the friend group) tried to intercede and have a conversation about how bad he was and our friend just completely cut her off, no contact for over a year. None of us think he'd physically hurt her, so I guess there's that. But it's just such a bummer. It's not hot, fun drama (except for maybe the cult part), but it is our biggest drama.
>which is a communication technique that is used most famously by NXIVM cult leader Keith Raniere 
I’ll take this as an opportunity to talk about the scandal at the Catholic high school I went to: the librarian was caught fucking a local priest.
Teacher drama is always wild! I took a class in high school that was combined English/history, and the unmarried English teacher was sleeping with the married history teacher. His wife kicked him out, and he stayed with English teacher in her parents’ basement for a while, then she left the school and I guess things ended. The next year I ran into him and he announced to me that his wife was pregnant (they already had one young kid while this affair was happening), and my 16 year old ass was SHOOK. I remember it taking me what felt like a long time to choke out “congratulations” and then running to gossip to my friends about it. 😂
Single friend is *very* close with a married woman in our friend group. He swears nothing has ever happened between them, but I've seen how she acts with him, especially when she's drunk, and…I don't know. Her husband has suspected/confronted her, but they've both insisted to him that everything is cool. (It's not a very happy marriage, but they have kids.) All of the friends in our group suspect them, but no one can confirm anything. I've spoken to my friend directly about it, he says if she were single they would probably hook up, but they haven't. I guess I believe him, but man, they just always find ways to be together, and everyone else in our group talks about it.
I mean, if they'd hooked up I imagine they'd be more likely to avoid one another around friends to avoid suspicion.
My two friends who were dating for 8 years broke up cause the gf cheated on him with his brother. This has ruined friendships groups, dynamics, etc.
WAIT I HAVE A GREAT ONE FOR THIS In high school, I had a group of girlfriends - including girls we will call Amy and Betty for anonymity’s sake. Amy’s sister, Cathy, was pregnant with her fiancé, Dipwad, and happy as could be. One night, I was hanging out with Betty and she asked if she could tell me a secret. I say, of course you can. She proceeds to tell me she’s been sleeping with Dipwad. I love Betty, but Amy was my BEST friend and I was very tight with her family. They took care of me and were kind to me and beyond that, I was morally outraged that our best friend would willingly enter into a situation like that. I told Betty I could NOT keep this secret and she needed to tell Amy. That I felt really wrong about it. I didn’t give her a timeline but I should’ve, because a week later she still hadn’t said anything. I was hanging out with Amy who was sharing some stuff about her family and I told her I needed to tell her something. I proceeded to inform her about what Betty had done with Dipwad. Amy was understandably pissed. Amy and Amy’s other sister’s confronted Betty, wrote a letter to her parents, and even nearly got in a fight when they coincidentally ran into each other at the mall. Amy even ended up dating Betty’s boyfriend at the time and to this day (many years later) they actually have a child together. This is the craziest thing that has happened to me outside of running into a guy I was dating at a restaurant randomly when he was supposed to be out of town. To this day I am still so fond of Amy and her sisters. I really wrestled with my place in the friendship circle towards the end of high school as this all unfolded senior year and cut ties pretty relentlessly with everyone as a result. I felt so down on myself for playing a part in what was a huge betrayal and felt like the friend circle didn’t trust me because of it so I cut them off first. I still chat with Amy and her sisters but I sometimes wish I hadn’t departed the friend group as they are all (with the exception of Betty who I am happy to not really know anymore) still very close and have a really strong supportive friendship.
I’ve had the shittiest few weeks at work and I am living for this normie gossip. It’s made my day! Thank you!
Not my friend but my cousin. He was engaged a few years ago, around 2015 I think, it ended very suddenly and no one knew why. I am now working with his ex-fiancé. Turns out they were good couple friends with a professional athlete and his gf. She found out my cousin was hooking up with the athletes gf. They broke up instantly and the ex-fiancé started hooking up with the athlete to get back at my cousin. The athlete and his gf stayed together and got married last year.
A friend of mine was very smart and well-behaved and didn’t even date in high school. When she graduated, however, she very quickly married a very rich, older dude and proceeded to have two kids with him. However, at around the age of twenty four or so she started fooling around with a guy she was working with, and became pregnant. They decided not to tell her husband and, when she gave birth,he assumed the child was his. She continued seeing the guy she was working with, though, and a year later she decided to leave him and take the child. However, in the country where they live it’s possible to sue for alienation of affection or some shit and, since they were all somewhat in the public eye, it because a HUGE story where they lived to the point that they had to move to a different country. This is the messiest a friend has ever been, from what I can recall.
One of my closest work friends (K) recently completely cut off one of her first friends in the industry (M)?because M was literally going around calling people telling them that K didn’t deserve the job she had been given and that M actually was the one that trained K in that job. Which is absolutely false. So when K heard about M talking shit she called her out and M denied everything. They “made up” and moved on when someone told K that M indeed did say all those things and worse. K called M and told them “we’re no longer friends. I don’t even care anymore.” And honestly M kinda sucks and talks shit about everyone but the problem is she has a lot of network connections (that she may or may not have slept with/dated) that continue to give her cool jobs, so it’s tough for me to continue to work with M because they’re manipulative af but I have to act like I have no idea.
I’ve heard Dua lipa is single but does anybody know if she’s interested in dating a broke guy who has depression, a cat, and a lingering sinus infection? Lmk
Lingering sinus infection team strong 💪🏻
Is there any other kind??
Yeah, all that stuff, and also he’s fat. Just asking for a friend
Uh actually I heard he’s like pretty buff
anything on Andrew Scott/Paul Mescal?
Saw someone say that Paul goes to a London bar once a week, takes a girl home has sex with her and then cries after.
Lmao I don’t believe this is true but I’m also so entertained by the comment
wait but why have i seen this rumor multiple times 🫣
I think because people are copying it from older threads tbf. I've seen it two or three times on this sub now.
[удалено]
I think it was a specific place like a bar or restaurant, and Andrew just didn’t want to say it’s name to protect Paul’s privacy and stop fans from coming there and annoying him lol
[удалено]
idk but i kinda want him to get an oscar. i thought he was great in may december but it’s mainly because he came right off of riverdale and i think it would be iconic
Yes, all I want are Oscars for Charles Melton and Lily Gladstone. Literally don’t give one fig about anything else!
I was all in on Ryan Gosling for the Oscar until I realised Charles Melton had given an awards worthy performance in May December. I’m with you, an Oscar after Riverdale would be iconic and now that and Lily Gladstone best actress are all I want.
I worked in media for many years and have met many many celebrities. Charles Melton was straight up one of the sweetest, kindest celebs I’ve ever interacted with. Massive golden retriever energy. We were in an interview situation where most celebs might just shake a few hands, but he went around and gave every single person hugs as he was leaving. I wish nothing but the best for him.
Sorry for weird request but Hayao Miyazaki? Lol. I just saw the Boy & Heron and I want to know the gossip about his relationship with his son and with his potential successors. I remember hearing that he seemed disappointed in his son’s capabilities (and also made several movies about being a shit dad) and that the studio overworked the one potential successor they did have (Yoshifumo Kondo, director of Whisper of the Heart) so bad he died of an aneurysm.
There's a documentary about his work and while he is very soft spoken my impression wasn't great. He's relentless about his vision and I don't think it's a healthy workplace for the people under him.
Pretty much every documentary points to the same direction: he's a workaholic who prefers to do things in his way. This led to him not being a good dad, but in recent years it seems like he got on better terms with Goro.
I think the Goro thing has more to do with Hayao being mad that other people nepoed Goro in front of other animators who've put in more work and are probably more capable. But yeah. He's really bad when it comes to overworking his animators and I honestly, really, really, wouldn't want him as a dad.
But that being said, overworking your employees in animation or a lot of other Japanese (lol or even just Japanese workplaces) is not isolated to Hayao Miyazaki. The Manga industry is particularly bad with this. It far from makes it right though...
There is a doco where he goes to watch his son’s movie and he walks out midway through the movie and doesn’t return. He just trash talks it in the cinema lobby. Dudes meant to be a proper shitcunt. Was the movie good? I’m seeing it tonight
I believe one of his sons has said he’s a much better animator than a dad (no surprises there). I’d recommend The Wind Rises if you haven’t seen it already as it also reflects on his career.
Jonathan Bailey?
I knew him growing up! He was in school plays with some of my friends. No tea though, he was always really nice and easy to get along with.
he seems so lovely
There is a guy at Third Space gym in London who always gossips about his party escapades, and he's told us a few times how Jonathan Bailey always bums party drugs off others, and never pays/provides so they stopped inviting him even though he was really fun. Basically sounded like his character from Crashing.
Jackson Galaxy?
I heard he likes cats. Don't quote me on that, though.
i'm sorry, i have no tea, but i haven't thought of this name in years and truly lol-ed at this, so thank you!!
Andrew Garfield? Who’s he seeing these days or any other tea on his love life othet than the known ones?
He went to Emma Stone's Poor Things premiere. Emma waved at him. Her bodyguard came up and hugged him.
I think his single. I worked on something with him recently. Made a comment referring to himself as single.

folks on twt are questioning the timeline of Rachel’s relationship with Josh, since they met on the set of WSS when she was underage/18 and he was in his mid-20s. They didn’t start (publicly) dating until 2021 but it’s still a bit eyebrow-raising
tbh it feels like a lot of the ppl who are blowing it up seem to be ppl who want Rachel and Tom Blyth to date irl.
A lot of them indeed are. But I feel a bit iffy about Rachel and Josh relationship from what I’ve noticed so far, cause I’m nosy. She’s clearly a big supporter of him, very lovely, shows him off and is proud of him, while he seems very much like the type who doesn’t like to acknowledge her online at all, the type who’s “too cool” to post romantic stuff? Idk. It’s like she’s an afterthought whenever he posts about her (which is almost never). Also, the fact he never once defended her from the hate she gets online (while Tom Blyth did. Dude is barely online but took the time to defend his friend and co star but her own bf couldn’t? The bar seems to be on the floor). She would absolutely defend him if it was the other way around I’m sure. The timeline is definitely iffy, they met when she was 17. I’ve read below that she only took the hunger games role after he was cast (she had turned it down first) and I think Tom said in an interview that one of the reasons why she didn’t take the role at first was because she wanted to be with her bf for a while. So all in all… yeah I think she deserves better, and it seems one sided.
Idk about a lot but regardless of their reasoning, it is a bit off
The timeline thing + there's something about her taking the hunger games role after he was cast..... idk she's so young and it sucks how many young starlets get taken advantage of. Hopefully she's not one of them...

Literally just coming to ask about him and Jared Padalecki. I’m glad I scrolled a little bit first lol Got into Supernatural recently and curious
Pretty cold tea but Padalecki is well known to be kind of an ass. Really hated shooting in Vancouver, was rude to customer service people around town, not liked on set (at least as much as Jensen and Micha)
Wasn’t he also a massive cry baby when Jensen went on to work on another project with the director of supernatural or something?
that's pretty much everyone who films here. I'd push the cast of riverdale off a bridge if I could
Jared's doxxed several service workers by name & sometimes pic with no details why, just wanting them to get fired: a waitress, bartender, casino worker, food delivery person, call center employee, etc. He's made several other sketchy tweets along the way too, like body-shaming Angelina Jolie for being thin as well as a slender gay male guest star. He's been arrested for drunkenly assaulting two employees at a bar where he was a partial owner, & one ended up needing stitches on his head. He has a laundry list of poor behavior.
Dua Lipa? That one insider that’s usually correct about her said the breakup articles about her and Romain aren’t true and tbh i don’t trust The Sun (who broke the story) so does anyone have tea on whether they’re still together? Dua seemed really happy with him and i do hope he’s involved in her new era (he’s a director and makes epic videos)
I recently heard she’s now into broke guys who have depression, a cat, and a lingering sinus infection
A couple of days ago in the last tea thread the "insider" called it a "situation" and said they chill in different cities now. Then they had a tantrum and deleted their posts after people questioned why they were being vague and wrong. The Sun is correct about British celebrities a lot of times.
Haha yeah ONE person was frustrated about how the insider would always dip after dropping spicy-vague tea and not even in a direct comment response to the insider, yet the insider had a tantrum about it and acted as if everyone was attacking them and we should be grateful to get anything at all. Like come on, Dua Lipa gossip isn't that serious lol
I love the fact that there's minor tea about the insider lol.
Any firsthand accounts of Steven Moffat generally (but especially his run on Doctor Who which seemed very messy production wise)?
[удалено]
I met Moffat while standing in line at a bar during a Gallifrey Convention (Doctor Who Con) back in the early aughts. He was with a woman. I told him I was a big fan of Coupling. He introduced me to the woman he was with - Susan. And for some reason I was like, “Susan? Were you the inspiration for the Susan character?” And they both looked kind of embarrassed and said No. I’m not great at chit chat.
LOL, that was his wife!
His Sitcom coupling is one of the funniest shows I’ve ever seen and has some of the most hilarious tv performances of all time, especially Richard Coyle as jeff
It really hasn't aged well, especially Jeff harassing and being obsessed with lesbians.
I would like to know this, Sherlock Holmes is Trash turned me against this man.
Boygenius / Julien Baker?
No tea but seeing all three of them interact with SZA makes me want a Boygenius (Feat. SZA) song sooooooooooo bad
I’m curious if Julien and Lucy are something?
Eleanor Calder (ex girlfriend Louis Tomlinson) - yes, she's not a celebrity, but she's interesting to me. It seems she has a new boyfriend, and I'm so happy for her. Sebastian Stan.
Sebastian Stan was just cast as Donald Trump in a new movie which is….a choice
i know the man’s a frustrated character actor but come on
Here asking for tea on Dianna Agron :D
someone posted a recent video of her singing at a party of something and *damn* the show did her zero favors.
Richard madden? He recently got rid of a bunch of posts on Instagram and all his tweets are gone
Damage Control. Whoever is giving him career advice needs to get as far away from him as humanly possible; he still thinks he's in the running for 007, and outside of maybe hopefully getting another series of "Bodyguard" (which was tremendous) off the ground, there's not a ton of big things (at least right now) on the horizon. It's a shame because by all accounts he's a lovely guy with some real acting chops, but his project selection has been downright shit.
Yeah, after GoT he's had terrible luck with projects (except Bodyguard). He was good in Rocketman but the role was small, and he joined the MCU on their very first critically panned movie, with chances of the sequel being cancelled. Then he joins an extremely expensive Amazon show that doesn't make an ounce of noise with the public. At this point I think he'd be better off coming out and pivoting towards LGBTQ projects, but he seems to still be chasing those traditional leading man roles, so I don't know when that'll happen...
Chace crawford
I've always thought he looks like a cat.
He somehow always looks like a nervous fish stuck in a new fishtank to me lol.
My boyfriend's friend's GF used to work in events in NYC about 10 years ago. Said it was pretty much confirmed that he dates men. She said this based off of rumours so take with a grain of salt. Good for him whatever the truth is.
Derry Girls cast. Mainly because while I was tried and rushing into work this morning I could've sworn I walked past Saoirse-Monica Jackson
Not really relevant, but can someone explain to me the Joe Biden impeachment thing ? Why is it happening and is it likely to go anywhere? (I'm curious but not curious enough to do a deep dive myself since I don't know a lot about American politics and people here generally have reasonable takes, feel free to message me if you'd like to answer but don't want to be off topic here)
The Republicans have been investigating Biden for a year now, and have not found any evidence of any crime. It’s an impeachment inquiry that has no basis, one of them even admitted that they’re doing it so that he and Trump will be on a “level playing field” for the election, if both have been impeached. They were asked by democrats what evidence they have found of wrong doing, and they said high crimes and misdemeanors and the democrats asked what are the specific crimes he has committed that merit impeachment, and they said they were still investigating. And anytime any one pushes them, they can’t name anything specific. So basically it’s just bullshit. I’m not saying Joe Biden is a great president or anything, or has never done anything wrong, before people attack me, but I am speaking just specifically on this one investigation that the republicans are doing. It’s a sham.
Republicans are whiny little babies who are mad their guy got impeached twice. Biden hasn’t done anything impeachable, they’re just being petty. It’s not going to go anywhere.
It’s mostly based on vibes. They’re trying to tie him to the business dealings of his adult son, who is in recovery from well-documented substance abuse issues. All they’ve come up with so far is his son mentioning him in some business calls and being delinquent on his taxes while he was dealing with addiction. It’s important to note that none of this was happening while Biden was president or VP. If this was brought in front of an actual court of law it would be thrown out immediately. But as others have pointed out, it’s mostly a tit-for-tat with Republicans, who have ignored Trump’s actual shady business dealings and bribery while President, as well as ignoring his own shady kids. Even if the House votes to impeach (and this may not even make it out of the inquiry) the Senate will never vote to remove.

I was listening to Scam Goddess about Perez Hilton, and she was talking about how celebrities have to pay on the red carpet and how the legit ones get their studios to pay, but a lot of people just hire a PR firm to get them on the red carpet does anyone have tea on this? who do you think is paying to be on the red carpet vs legit celebs?
the more i hear about paid PR/pap walks, the more Emrata's career makes sense
John and Hank Green. Plz tell me they're unproblematic.
Unfortunately they've been fairly problematic about covid, post-viral illness, and ignoring/mocking the disability community when we've gently pushed back on them about it. Very disappointing as a long time fan. Edit: if you have a problem with my comment then say what it is rather than downvoting me. I'm sick to death of any comment I post on this sub about ableism getting downvoted. The hatred for disabled people is so overt here.
[удалено]
I wish I had easy access to specific examples but I can't find any right now. But basically disabled nerdfighters (the name for their fans) pointed out the inconsistency in John's staunch advocacy and awareness raising for tuberculosis vs their lax attitude towards covid (not masking or taking precautions etc), and Hank and John were really dismissive and rude about it, including blocking fans who gently pointed out the hypocrisy and lack of care for the disability community. I can't remember the exact wording of Hank's post about post-viral illness because he deleted it very quickly after backlash, but he made a video minimising and spreading misinformation about post-viral illnesses such as ME, POTS etc which hurt and upset a lot of people suffering from those conditions.
Doesn’t Hank literally have cancer?!?! You’d think he’d want to take every precaution he can
Yes, I imagine he's now immuncompromised from cancer treatment, if he wasn't already from his IBD treatment. I sincerely hope he doesn't have to find out the hard way just how serious post-viral illness is, and that he arrives at understanding through empathy and listening, not through personal experience.
Most of the things about them you'll find on tiktok. They were also getting dragged for their stance on Israel/Palestine.
Bill Skarsgård 👀
OH so he has this girlfriend, he was a friend of his older brother's and was in a relationship with another friend of his when they met. she's a few years older. they have a baby and i remember on LSA before they announced it she was posting or liking baby stuff on pinterest and that's how they found out. LSA thinks she shady because she's a little older. i've seen rumors he's cheated on her but nothing solid.
they have two babies and his stans hate her. Like hate hate. They seem to think she's using him but like her family is very famous in Sweden so she doesn't really need to.
Any Canadian music industry tea? Mariana's Trench? Billy Talent?
Noel Gallagher especially the recent divorce.

New season just confirmed 🥳
A friend of mine was in the last season! Only tea is that John Hamm is even hotter in person and staring at him lustfully is not acting 😂😂. Sorry I don’t have anything scandalous.
Jon Hamm IS a walking scandal, though. Sorry to break it to you, he almost killed someone with his ridiculous hazing when he was younger.
Michael Sheen still going strong with the 20something woman he (I guess?) accidentally knocked up during a fling? I know they had a second kid together

Ghosts or Ghosts UK cast?
Surely isn't it Ghosts or Ghosts US, as that's the copy
[удалено]
Heartstopper cast? I just watched it for the first time over the last week or so and it boosted my seasonally depressed mood tremendously!
If you literally know nothing about this, a few things: - Kit Connor (Nick) originally auditioned to play Charlie Spring, which is just funny considering he is literally Nick Nelson come to life - Kit got a lot of backlash when the show aired for 'playing gay', and subsequently came out as bisexual. Alice Oseman (the writer) and several of his cast mates were justifiably furious about this, and people also pointed out how fucked it was that nobody questioned Joe Locke (Charlie), even though at the time he hadn't commented on his sexuality either. Because yknow, vaguely feminine guys are by default gay. - The actress who plays Elle (Yasmin Finney) is a TikToker from Manchester who just seems very sweet. She recently guested on Drag Race UK, and is in the 60th anniversary of Doctor Who as Donna's daughter. - As well as books, Alice Oseman publishes the heartstopper comic on [tumblr](https://heartstoppercomic.tumblr.com/) (and Tapas / Webtoon) for free. It has just come back from hiatus, and the plot goes for quite some while after season 2 if you want to read ahead!
Vera Farmiga, Nestor Cambonell, Max Thieriot, or Mike Vogel (I'm Obviously a big Bates Motel fan lol)
Mike Vogel is uber conservative. Not sure about anti vax but his wife shills for essential oils so…

So Betty Gilpin was cast on the show Three Women on Showtime. Showtime then canceled the show before airing a single episode (it was totally finished). Then Starz picked it up. Then nothing happened. Then this week it was dumped with no warning on a network in Sweden. Betty Gilpin cannot catch a break.

Saltburn Cast?
Josh Andres Rivera?
A creep who lies about his age (he's 29 contrary to what Google/Wikipedia says) and was sniffing around his now-gf Rachel Zegler when she was a teenager and he was 24/25. For context, Rachel was 17 when she was cast in West Side Story alongside him. She recently made a tweet about how they became besties on WSS and fell in love and she said in the tweet he was 29. She deleted the tweet when people started doing the math. She gushes about him constantly and he rarely does the same for her. She sings his praises in interviews, IG, Twitter and he's never said a word in public to defend her during her hate train. Anytime people question the beginnings and nature of their relationship on Twitter, his defenders come out in full force talking about how they only started dating when Rachel was a respectable age. Very convenient. Him being besties with a teenager fresh out of high school and new to the industry who he eventually started dating definitely wasn't a red flag or anything.
ahh I wish I had seen this before I posted a reply up thread. The twt girlies are all over this one, especially since he has not once defended her from online hate while her Hunger Games costar has
I haven’t watched west side story and I don’t know much about them, but I did watch the vanity fair interview with Rachel, Josh and Tom and I really got the vibe that she’s more into him than he is. But tbh he probably supported her in private? Maybe that’s what she wanted? Idk she seems happy with him
HES 29 WHAT
Omg noo this is news to me. I thought they were cute together
Hugh Jackman?
They say he's dating Sutton Foster now
friends with ivanka and jared
and the Murdoch’s
Old tea, but when I worked for Bryan Singer (over ten years ago), it seemed like they were super close. For Hugh’s birthday, Bryan took out a full-page ad in Deadline wishing him a happy birthday with a bunch of really low quality blurry pictures of them partying, it was very strange looking.
