She's just begging for a lifetime of "bye, Phylicia" replies. I mean, that's her own fault. It was right there.

And yes, it's truly vile how many people are supporting him. Dozens of women have the same story AND! HE! ADMITTED IT!, and that's still not enough. What clearer way to say you just hate & mistrust women in general?

The way I didn't even find out about the overturn until seeing it as trending topic on twitter. it's all so awful, yesterday was a foul day for court decisions

Messy asf. JFC. I KNOW Clair Huxtable would’ve jump thru the TV screen at ha and dragged the fuck out of ha.

This is all fucked up. Upsetting. Unforgivable.

I love mrs huxtable 😭😭😭😭

You think? I know she’s not a push over but there’s a little at a day your man in ther3 e ….I couldn’t decide bc it’s been so long and I haven’t been able to watch reruns in like 2 decades.

Ugh she was badass . Such a shame.

I mean, same here. Deep stuff. I ain’t tryin be like "separate the artist from the art" here in this discourse. As if it is instinctively like that I knew Mrs. Huxtable all in the right place would’ve been done dragging Phylicia thru filth. She’d done jump out at her through the tv screen lmao. It’s only unfortunate that she doesn’t exist in our reality. She was alive only just in media and papers (scripts etc). Though there are many like her irl bc well obviously she was badass. We really looked up to her. And then Phylicia turned around and screwed us over. I’m also wondering what she would’ve done if Mr. Huxtabl3 was in there in this climate. I don’t really look up to him or any other men on the show on any relatable levels tbh. So I’m not surprised they came to defend him at all cost

Debbie Allen was trending last night only because Twitter was calling on Debbie to come collect her sister Phylicia.

Oh please, if she doesn't say anything, I'd be glad. I love her and I hope she doesn't blow this.

She’s was one of my first feminist icons before I knew what it was ….so knowing her stance on this the whole time was a real stab to the gut. Whyyyyy!
