johnny depp's favourite newspaper killing the game as usual

but yeah like it's insane for a woman who about to give birth who had announced their pregnancy and is in control of the topics of the interview to make a snotty comment about the body of someone congratulating her on her pregnancy...and then claim it's misogyny to comment on pregnancy or women's bodies

Funnily* enough, this interviewer has praised Johnny Depp as recently as 2022, writing "Johnny Depp is the most polite and sweet actor I have ever interviewed. So incredibly present, so warm, so attentive, so humble."

Blake's comment was shitty af, but this interviewer also gives me… off vibes.

*obviously not funny at all actually

Hashtag Justice for Johnny Depp and Johnny Depp is innocent.

The moral of this entire debacle is just be kind. She did mean girl shit here and for this book movie promo and both have now blown up in her face because she opted to be unprofessional and a jackass. It costs nothing to just be polite and kind.

Yep, and I wish some people didn’t always jump to the worst possible interpretation of someone’s statement or action instead of giving them the benefit of the doubt if said intent is not 100% clear

I grew up with parents who have an olympic skill level ability to assume and hear things that were never said or intended, and then also never tell people they're mad at them and behave in ways meant to punish you until you realized something was wrong and dig and dig until they finally admitted it, which means I have a seriously fucked up relationship with communication sometimes. I'm always assuming I've done something wrong and someone is mad at me. So I find myself often telling myself "assume positive intent" when my knee jerk reaction is to read more into things. It saves so much stress and me making an ass out of myself. More people should really try it.

[pciam]

Aw, I’m sorry to hear that but it sounds like you are doing a good job!

I have to do the same with assuming positive intent. More times than not, later on I’ve found out the intent was positive instead of my initial brain making me wonder if they were intentionally trying to annoy me (ie - at work) So I always try to remind myself of that before letting myself outwardly react. I’m definitely an over thinker so I have to tell myself to not immediately jump to the worst possible interpretation of something.

And in the rare circumstance where it IS bad intent, it still costs me nothing to let it roll off my back and not let myself return a jab with a jab. But it seems like lately everyone has such little patience with one another.

It would have been an awful comment whether the interviewer was infertile or not. Based on this and Blake's claim that she was fatshamed, it seems like she's really insecure about her body and takes it out on other people.

I feel bad for the interviewer. A simple thank you and gentle nudge to talk about the movie would have worked.

Blake's bitterness about being congratulated for being pregnant, after she announced it, reminds me very much of her bestie's career of making her billions off her relationships but cries misogyny when people comment on her relationships

Yep. Taylor made literal games (liner note clues!) out of giving her fans hints so they could speculate on which ex (or enemy) her songs were about. And these clues were often extremely obvious. So Taylor playing like “I never said names!” like we’re all idiots is laughable. You can’t have it both ways. You can’t make a game out of having fans guess the identity of who this take down song is about while then complaining that people are speculating on such lol

[palmerraids]

Yeah it makes sense how Blake, Taylor, and Selena are BFFs tbh…. You really are who you choose to surround yourself with.
