"we watched a woman sob"
Oh hahahaha. The fuck she was "sobbing". If anybody thinks that they must have been watching a different channel. Screwing ones face up, sniffing and ostentatiously dabbing ones eyes and nose with a dry tissue do not equate to genuine weeping. It was so obviously fake that I thought for one moment that I must have stumbled on an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians.
I understand now exactly why JD wanted this entire ugly trial televised, warts and all. And by Christ, has it shown far more of JD's warts than AH's. Every metaphorical boil on his metaphorical arse. But it's given me and many others the opportunity to see, watch and listen to the evidence as presented and make our own minds up.
Myself, I started contributing to this thread by admitting that I was trying my best to be neutral despite having many JD films in my home. And in my heart of hearts I honestly think I have. I haven't fawned over him. I acknowledge his many apparent faults and issues, I've acknowledged that he may well not be a particularly nice person. But this hasn't been about whether or not JD is or isn't a sweetie pie, in public or in private. It's been about whether or not a man did the utterly horrific things that he has been accused of, that have resulted in him being shunned and viewed as violent, raping scum by many.
I've concluded that simply is not true. I've said more than once that I feel pity for AH as I genuinely believe that she has real issues, and that I hope she gets the help she needs. Meanwhile, no matter what the jury's verdict on Tuesday, I believe JD and will readily and happily continue to enjoy his work. I do hope to God that they find in his favour as if they do not, I truly fear for the mental health of a man who behind the HW front has clearly been deeply troubled since childhood. I mean, goodness knows how anybody could find such a fucked up specimen even fanciable, as evinced up thread.
And as aside, that's just it - I don't, and never have, fancied JD. Despite thinking him very handsome at his peak and obviously extremely watchable, he does nothing for me in that respect. Show me a picture of a young Joaquin Phoenix, and my ovaries might briefly wake up(!) But JD, nah.
But I digress; this isn't about how fanciable or not fanciable JD or JP or whoever is or isn't. It's about whether or not JD has been falsely accused of the most terrible crimes. On!y he hasn't, not in a criminal court, probably because it would be unlikely to even get to prosecution. But AH has never even attempted to get her battering, raping ex husband banged up for the lengthy prison sentence that he clearly deserves if he's found guilty of these awful crimes. No, she's just sold photos and videos and other "exposees" to publications and websites then "pledged" the fees to charity, no doubt . I'm not buying it.
But hey, if it makes some here feel better to carry on with their condescending, intelligence insulting narrative that I and other believers of JD are simply a bunch of dim, knicker wetting JD fans who would side with him no matter how damning the evidence presented against him, then go ahead. It strikes me that for some, feminism consists of some women telling other women what they should or shouldn't be thinking. Well, fuck that.
Over and out here.
