Julianna was speaking like she had those thoughts for a while. Like it was just a casual dinner conversation. She’s nasty.

The soccer imagery was genuinely depraved stuff.

Seriously! She sounded so sure of herself and her hateful beliefs, she got called out immediately but only apologized after big outlets picked it up that doesn’t sound like she cares about anything but it hurting her career

[vikingsmn]

Totally! I was fully expecting her to drop the n word. It felt like it was on the tip of her tongue, but she managed to pull it back just in time.

Glad Susan apologized.

I wanted to say I was shocked by Julianna's comments but after the way she acted the last year(?) of TGW, I am not surprised.

Always admired Susan, she's 100% correct.

[sarahvma]

Yeah. I think people want her to be a girlboss who was misunderstood during a more misogynistic time but it’s increasingly clear she’s just an asshole.

Julianna made her shitty remarks more than a week ago, and she only 'apologised' because the mainstream media finally picked them up and pointed out how insane and hateful they were. That's why there is no actual apology.
Susan tried to clumsily make a point but as evidenced by her apology, she understood why it came across so badly.

[ahkna]

Susan's is a far better apology and actually addresses the things that she said that were wrong. Whether or not it's heartfelt, I don't know.

But Julianna's is a "sorry you were offended" apology.

[sarahvma]

I’m sure she means it. I just think by now she should learn to think before she makes public statements.
