I need to rant bc these horrible takes on Cassie are bothering me so bad; this woman was groomed at a young age by a powerful music mogul who made false promises of helping her music career, only to deliberately trap her in a contract while he romantically pursued her. He love bombed her, introduced her to deviant sex acts she’d never done before, fed her an endless supply of drugs, and coerced her into being sex trafficked and an accomplice to his criminal network. He isolated her from all her relationships, began funding her lifestyle while throttling her attempts of her finding any success of her own (to keep her dependent on him), and introduced torture, abuse and assault into their relationship as it progressed. Every time she would attempt to leave or cut ties, he would savagely beat her or send his handlers to find her. There was no escape, and eventually the lifestyle he indoctrinated her into become normal for her — the same way victims experience Stockholm syndrome. (Keep in mind this relationship spanned over a decade of her life) She even admits it wasn’t until she sought trauma therapy that she began to understand the severity of her situation. Not to mention there is literal video evidence of him savagely beating her during one of the times she tried to leave him.

Anyone who has been in, or understands the complexity of abusive relationships, also isn’t shocked by her admission that she willingly kept going back to him or that she loved him. That doesn’t make her any less of a victim, nor does it make her a willing participant because she became conditioned to the abuse.

The idea that this woman shouldn’t have sought financial compensation for the years of physical and mental torture he put her through in order to be believed is also delusional. Him settling her lawsuit within 24 hours was already evidence of his guilt.

Anyone that doesn’t view her as a victim is devoid of empathy or is a predator themselves. Point blank.

I commend Cassie so much for her bravery. She was the catalyst to finally taking down this serial predator, and the fact she’s even testifying against him while 8 months pregnant and after already collecting her settlement is admirable. I’m thinking of all the victims she saved by finally putting that monster behind bars. God bless.

I’m down for an Asian beauty supply store protest for life.

Who’s with me?

[TEYA @TEYAHOLLA]

@somethingthink2 @SethMacFarlane This makes me think of Crash (2004). That film thought it was really saying something…but it was actually doing the opposite of what it intended. The first time I watched it I was duped. But years later my professor criticized it and opened my eyes.

[TEYA @TEYAHOLLA]

@DiscussingFilm The problem is there will be no suspense or anxiety of him being caught. Which was a constant theme throughout Dexter. In this, we already know he won’t get caught. And none of the main cast will find out. Sooooo. Where is the suspense in that?

@duolingo can you tell me why I am no longer able to practice to earn hearts? Can you fix this pls?

[TEYA @TEYAHOLLA]

@BDisgusting Funny. I just finished reading the book and then watching the remakes. And I was thinking, none of them really did the book full justice. But also, do I wanna watch a full 8 episodes of Carrie being bullied and tormented by her mom and classmates? Idk.

[TEYA @TEYAHOLLA]

@naanstopfun Does the podcast explain more about why Simran did it? Also can you name the podcast pls?

[TEYA @TEYAHOLLA]

@DiscussingFilm Yes please!

@minaszorells I’ve never in my life read any of the invincible books and instantly in the first season I knew without a doubt that Mark and Amber would break up and he would end up with the white girl (Eve). I just can’t help clock these things.

[TEYA @TEYAHOLLA]

@DiscussingFilm So excited for this one.

[TEYA @TEYAHOLLA]

@teresempierre I rewrote my beginning many times, I get it! Especially because *people* say the first sentence is like the “most important” 😩

I don’t typically follow celebrity gossip, but giving credit where it’s due, ya’ll have had me literally on the floor with that #KekePalmer story. “Black Twitter cooked that fool like a hot pocket” left me gasping for breath.

This epic, dual-timeline novel is poetic and propulsive, an engrossing read exploring masculinity, race, and belonging.
