The photo doesn’t fit the frame, that’s what happens when you are in a hurry……freakish attention to detail eh?

True! The photo does not fit the lovely silver frame.

To true! , I only remembered it because an article came up that Christian bale has been busy building an entire village of social housing from his own money for people to live in free! , I wish I could remember where the article was !

Really? I do hope that's true. Sounds like proper philanthropy, not just lip service.

I will see if I can find the article poppy!

jeffgoldblum · 03/09/2026 19:46

The first article is actually recent and about it finished,
the second is from 2years ago when it started!

And don’t forget his pushing and throwing young women into a swimming pool when they were nicely dressed for an function, against their will and without their consent, to the point that he had to be physically retrained.

His drunken use of prostitutes (Steinem would call them trafficked women, as would I) in Las Vegas and possibly elsewhere.

And his vile, misogynistic anecdotes about women in Spare.

His repeated collusion in the hounding of Catherine.

Sophie Chandauka has said he bullied her and was racist.

His gender stereotyping of his own children.

It goes on and on.

Oh but the throwing women in the pool was just all in good fun though right?

From what I understand he didn't repent or acknowledge what he did to the teacher was horrible and cruel. I haven't read spare though, just heard about the annecdote.

PoppysAunt · 03/09/2026 19:53

Thanks for the articles, Jeff. That's great. He's not buying another yacht or a mansion, but actually helping the vulnerable.

They've unpacked quickly, if photos are on sideboards already.

She had the photo taken and the IG post written weeks ago - if she got a whiff GS was failing - she had to be first off the blocks - the parasite … or more accurately blowfly / maggot or carrion beetle

I should add that it appears that Leonardo dicaprio is also partnered with him! And it’s for foster children and families.

Yes! , it’s good to see famous wealthy people using their power for good and not pr! , this was very much under the radar and I had to search to find these articles.

Absolutely! He's not constantly self promoting, is he? Such a brilliant cause.

Yes, it either speaks volumes about her regard for Gloria that it's already in pride of place (not necessarily in line with what's been previously reported about their approach to home organisation) or there was an incident involving someone shouting FIND ME THE BOX WITH GLORIA STEINEM'S PHOTO IN! COME ON, I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO CODDLE YOU!

Of course. Something else was clearly very hurriedly ripped from that frame, the Gloria photo doesn’t even fit.

The photo itself, and the photo of it is clearly intended to focus on archie and not Gloria steinem. Bit of a weird one to put in a nice silver frame. Seems more like a flex (as the young people say) than anything else. "See everyone! Look how connected we are. Look how all these famous people love us and our kids!"

Thedom · 03/09/2026 20:48

The badly sized photo frame and the old photo, the kid is barely a toddler in it and none with the golden child, appears to indicate the connection between ‘Glo’ and her family is not as strong as she likes to pretend.

Starryfifty · 03/09/2026 20:49

It's very bizarre a little boy and an elderly woman. What age is he in that photo? Everything Meg posts is just so cute odd

Starryfifty · 03/09/2026 20:50

No tribute to her other feminist hero on her birthday. Doria

CathyorClaire · 03/09/2026 20:57

Not just me then suspecting the existence of a convenient box of selfies with octogenarians/ nonagenarians held in easily publishable reach 😂

I wonder has Doria said she doesn't want any publicity herself? Probably after the prison rumours

As Ever should market a keepsake box for this purpose!
