Tavi Gevinson took to The Cut today to write a piece spurred by the recent documentary, Framing Britney Spears. It's very good and I recommend reading the whole thing!But since ONTD doesn't read, here are

Ezra really got out of it unscathed

Vampire Weekend/EK has never been shit anyway. He's gross. I really resented her for a long time for not acknowledging her privilege being the key to her success. Idk how I feel about piggybacking on Britney's story, but it's also completely valid to be a victim and feel emboldened to come forward with personal stories when others stories come to light.

She's good at introspection in her writing, imo. If this is the first time she acknowledged privilege I would be surprised (well... not really).

I remember that heartbreaking piece she wrote about her relationship with Ezra years ago; it still stays with me. he will always be disgusting for that.

I had no idea about her and EK. Do you have a link or remember who published it?

it gets more heartbreaking the older I get tbh, she really had a knack for capturing what the early twenties were like.

I do remember finding the emphasis in the doc on Britney having control~ of her life as a child/teen to be really strange. Like, she was a minor. You never have control there, not really.
