Americans are asking people on Threads from other countries how their media is covering the US airline incidents, because they no longer trust their own media to tell them the truth. Some are literally saying they’d rather hear it from outside sources. And the responses are ABSOLUTELY fascinating.

Jensen Ackles Explains Why He Started Calling Jessica Alba “Bitch Alba” on Set
Jensen Ackles : “She was like, ‘Oh, here’s the pretty boy that the network brought in for some more window dressing.’”
“I was like, ‘What the fuck? What did I do?’ So very quickly, I was like, ‘Fire with fire.’”
“I’d say, ‘Looks like we’re getting Bitch Alba today. Everybody hang on to your nuts.’”
“I was the new kid on the block, and I got picked on by the lead.”
“But it did build some mutual respect. We bickered like brother and sister.”
“My grandfather died while I was shooting, and she literally just walked into my trailer and held me for half an hour.”
Lisa Whelchel was raised in Littlefield, Texas. At age twelve she wrote a letter to Disney requesting a Mouseketeer audition; she received one and moved to California.
In her teens she was cast as Blair Warner on the NBC sitcom The Facts of Life, which ran for nine seasons and made her a familiar face in American households.
During the series, producers planned an episode in which Blair would become the first of the four main girls to lose her virginity.
Whelchel refused the storyline and asked to be written out of the episode. The decision cost her $50,000. The plot was reassigned to another character.
In 1984, while the show was still airing, she released a Christian music album that earned a Grammy nomination.
After The Facts of Life ended in 1988 she largely stepped away from acting.
She married a pastor, had three children, homeschooled them, started a Christian support ministry, and wrote books on parenting and faith.
She later declined the role of Rachel Green on Friends; the part went to Jennifer Aniston. Years afterward her daughter jokingly asked whether Brad Pitt might have been her father. Whelchel replied that she had no regrets.
In 2012, nearly fifty and recently divorced, she joined the cast of Survivor: Philippines. Viewers expected a short run; instead she reached the final tribal council, tied for second place, and won the fan-favorite award, collecting an extra $100,000.
The appearance reintroduced her to a new audience while remaining consistent with the values that had guided her earlier choices. ❤️
