The one time I don’t blame his mom for walking away from him.

His mom left his family when he was a kid to live a better life and didn't have much contact with her son after that. (Yes this sounds awful but I can't help think of that viral tweet about not blaming deadbeat parents because maybe the kid had bad vibes)

"However, there is one topic that Carlson refuses to speak about. That topic is his mother, and her abandonment of her family and Carlson.

The strange family saga is completely ignored by Carlson, who said has commented that his relationship with his mother is a “totally bizarre situation-which I never talk about, because it was actually not really part of my life at all.”

Despite Carlson’s refusal to believe that the situation is a part of his life, the FOX News host did sue for his mother’s money following her death. McNear only left her children $1 in her will, despite being worth a great deal more. Carlson is financially well-off, both because of his hosting and his family’s property and involvement with the Swanson family."

I keep thinking about that Reddit comment with a deadbeat dad going "well what if your kid is giving of bad vibes? HUH???" and I always thought "what a massive twat" and now I'm wondering if, sometimes, people actually know.

Damn you, former Mrs. Carlson!

I love your icon! Colin Morgan before he got his ears pinned back

I get why he did it (societal pressure's a bitch) but since he's so anti-celebrity I kind of hoped he never would. He already looked like an elf, the ears just added to it!

I know, if Adam Driver got to keep his ears Colin should have as well.
