about that one Gossip Girl person

Hi. Sorry it took me so long to say anything.

Right, so we've heard about those allegations against Ed Westwick sexually assaulting two women. And I believe the allegations. Also, I fucking hate his statement in regards to those assaults. It sounds like he's trying to make the woman out like liars, for one, and two, he misspelled a word in his statement he plastered on Twitter (and, I assume, Instagram, but I unfollowed him when I realized I still followed him there, so w/e).

I've deleted most of the mentions of Ed on my Tumblr. It's hard, because the Tumblr interface makes it hard to find anything you've tagged on your own journal, but it should be 98% Ed-free, minus posts that were formerly tagged with him in it, but don't actually have pictures or mentions of him in it. I've decided to do the same here (and at least one Ed comm) as well, even though I've mostly locked down my journal. That means I'm also deleting the Cookie W. Bass post. That post, and the gifs and memes from it, was great fun back in the day, but I refuse to glorify a real-life sexual abuser now.

Oh, and speaking of: I found this quote on the sexwick Tumblr blog where Ed claimed that playing Chuck taught him to respect women, or something. The quote was clipped off and probably altered because Ed fangirls back in the day. And now we, the public, know better. It would be like a sexual predator to actively seek out roles where he's a fucking creep (like Chuck Bass, or that dickhead he played in Wicked City--I guess that show getting canceled in a heartbeat on ABC was well deserved after all). And it would be like a sexual predator to lie about being a sexual predator. Just like Chuck Bass.
