Of course the right took a side in this lawsuit that has nothing to do with anyone besides these two.
By sheer coincidence, it's the anti-woman side. Again and again.
The worst thing is that looking at this case, at least from what I've seen, Blake Lively's side isn't as "pristine" as they first appeared. "They" might be right. I hope I don't end up siding with Candace Owens by the end of it. What frustrates me about both of these cases is that unless and until there is a public trial, nothing close to the truth will come out. But of course the tribalism has to start already.
In the Depp/Heard case, we got to see enough evidence that a relationship with either of them would have been problematic at best, abusive at worst. You can argue about who the worst was, but neither came away looking "clean," IMO.
Here, it's way too early to be "picking sides." 🙄
I know who none of these ppl are. Except Candace Owen's unfortunately
Excuse me, you DON'T know the female lead of the Green Lantern movie?
I tried to read it, but I really couldn't care less. Why would I care what a bunch of conservative dipshits think about two celebs who I only know of because of this bs? I've never seen them in anything (as far as I know). Idiots talking about people I know nothing about. I quit after the first few paragraphs. I don't think I'll ever click on a link about this again.
