There’s no shame in antidepressant drugs. If I were her I’d be on horse tregulizers.
I agree. I wish people would stop sentionalizing mental health issues, which need to be normalized.
There’s no shame in taking anidepressants, but there’s an abundance of shame to be had by being part of the K cirkus.
or by having that butt drama going on
Repetitive plastic surgery is gateway to pill addiction; next gig, celebrity rehab.
Yeah I don’t understand why people have to sensationalize it. Following a break up, it’s not uncommon to go on antidepressants for a while.
Yes, I’d be “popping pills” all day with “friends” as stupid as hers.
There is shame in that lip liner game though. Don’t over line your lips. Please.
I’ve been dealing with pnd and anxiety ever since having my twins 7 monyhs ago, it took me 6 months of stuggling without support or talking to anyone, to get on anti depressants. As thing as I am only 5 weeks into seeing if they will work for me, so I wish I had spoken to someone sooner so I would already be in a good mindset. I was misguided in thinking admitting to being unhappy would make me less in the eyes of others, all that happened is I isolated myself at probably the stupidest time possible. I’m still able to breastfeed on anti depressants too, which was another concern that stopped me seeking help. Depression is a chemical imbalance, it’s an illness, sick people need medicationto get better… there is no shame.
I’m so sorry, Jaime. I had pnd after moving overseas after having my daughter. I also took a long time to get help, in my case it was because I didn’t understand that pnd is ‘real’ depression and that I needed treatment immediately. I got through it thanks to a drug that worked pretty much right away and didn’t make me feel weird or ‘on’ anything. However, I did have to go off it eventually because it was starting to turn on me. When you get to the point where you feel well consistently, and I really hope you do, talk to your doctor about going off them. It can be very tough when you do, your brain chemistry gets changed again, but I was fine afterward. Trust your instincts with your treatment. I wish you many happy days in the future.
Thank you
Blake, sis, that is not a good look. Nothing about the antebellum south is cute.
Maybe she assumed people were smart enough not to take away a non-existent “go slavery!!!” from her comment. First mistake.
It still ain’t cute and it still isn’t a good look. So……………..Bye.
Well, Blake did have her wedding at a former slave plantation…
she’s glamorizing that time period and apparently not realizing at all that part of the “social distinction” she refers to is directly derived from, yes, OWNING OTHER PEOPLE.
and too bad that “Southern hospitality” that she loves was not extended to people with dark skin during that time period she finds so wonderful.
no, she didn’t say “go slavery!” but her words come off as pretty insensitive.
I think if she had phrased it as a southern influence, it wouldn’t seem so tone deaf. By using “Allure of Antebellum”, she is getting pretty specific about the aspect of the southern culture she is referring to (which, by the way, I don’t think fits the description of short pleated skirts at all!)
Good lord, Blake… I understand she might not be educated/smart/well-read/whatever, but doesn’t she have people around her to tell her “actually, this is a BAD idea”?
Is the entire era off limits then? One can’t love the fashion, or the music, because there was slavery going on at the time? So no nostalgia for the 40s because of the holocaust? Or the 19 Th century, because women couldn’t vote? To love Edwardian clothes and lifestyle inspirations doesn’t mean you support lack of women’s rights. You can love sweet tea and hoop skirts and not wish we still had slaves.
Antebellum is the glossy name for the holocaust in the slave era south; to use this word as synonymous with anything positive is either ignorant and or insensitive.
If one were referring GENERALLY to the fashion of that time, and not specifically the “social distinction” of the (white) women of the Antebellum South, I’d agree with your take. but she’s not. she making a point of talking about “southern belles” who lived on plantations (yes, with slaves).
regarding your other examples, those are kind of false equivalents…for example, if your nostalgia for “the 40s” was specifically regarding the fashion of the Third Reich and Nazi Germany, then, yes, it would be bad to have nostalgia for that.
Khloe is not the first woman on earth to go through a divorce. This family just lovessss attention. If she is on anti-depressants, she’s in the same group as millions of other people…she’s not the first and won’t be the last. It’s so hard to have sympathy for this family, I just can’t.
My thoughts as well. If Khloe wants to do something for herself she needs to start by stopping the butt implants and the lip fillers. She is beginning to look unnatural and almost comical. I think Kris Jenner must get drunk all day long and just spin stories to the media. Sort of like throwing mud on a wall to see what sticks. This family is so tiresome.
Good LORD that ass! It looks comical and utterly ridiculously unnatural.
As comical as her lips.
Ass of lies.
What do you guys think would be required to get rid of dat ass? Anti-deassants? A star Wars blaster? C4? Or maybe Miles Teller could do the world a solid and start talking to her ass so it would just be like “I’m gone”.
Ok..I cackled at this comment.
Duckie was the best! Cryer knows his fans.

Wow this led me to discover one of Jon Cryer’s early movies was with Demi Moore (No Small Affair, 1984). Small world !! LOL
Holy quap whoever writes that tripe in Blake Lively’s online rag needs to get a grip, and not only politically.
That prose is like a sandwich of thickly buttered Stollen cake (awful enough) with layers of Mars Bars and dulce de lecce, covered in artificial sweetener and dotted with marshmallows, swimming in maple syrup.
Blech. You successfully summed that up so disgustingly, that I won’t venture to have a look-see. It sounds very Paula Deen-esque.
I got diabetes reading that. Yecch.
well, Preserve is also selling teepees

Threatening to sue Gawker over article
http://gawker.com/blake-livelys-fall-fashion-inspiration-is-slaveowners-1645661587/1646150135/+maxread
holy mother…did you read Gawker’s original post on her “Allure of Antebellum” with their parts inserted into the Preserve’s horrible write up? the one that prompted the letter from Lively’s lawyers?
DYING laughing…such amazing snark.
That Gawker bit was genius! And I totally believe it is selling tepees after this antebellum tripe. Gah
So true. The writing detracts from what she’s trying to sell, it doesn’t enhance it. Your description is perfect!
Taking anti-depressants is as value-neutral as taking antibiotics. They are needed in some situations. Generally they are of no use whatsoever in getting over sad situations that one may find oneself. They do not mend broken romances nor bring back dead friends or family. Clinical depression is not the same thing as feeling sad over bad circumstances. Neither I nor any other commenter knows enough about this woman’s state of mind to be able to speak about whether she would benefit from anti depressants and it is the height of nonsense to pretend we do or that it is a remotely appropriate topic for a gossip site.
Sometimes ‘bad situations’ exasperate underlying mental illness issues. Only her doctor knows whether she needs antidepressants or not.
But to be honest, I still think it’s a bit irresponsible of the media to sensationalize antidepressants.
Yes, exactly. I’ve had clinical depression for most of my life, but during particularly rough patches, break-ups and career failures triggered downward spirals and my “cocktail” had to be reconfigured. I imagine that people who don’t struggle on a daily basis are a less severe version of this; their normal routine works for them, but then something happens that they’re not prepared or qualified to handle themselves.
Exactly Brittany. I have clinical depression and usually I can cope without antidepressants. But when I have rough patches, ‘break ups or job losses or someone passing away’ I spiral out of control and definitely need to be back on my meds :/
Well said, birch.
I watched this mess of a show when it first came on the air. She was always full of angst and drama generally about her weight and lack of ability to get a boyfriend. She was testy to say the least. Pimp mom Kris asked her what she wanted for dinner and she replied under her breath, a Xanax and jack and coke. She was in early twenties at the time. Do I think she’s on antidepressants…yes. Do I care, no.
Blake may have loved the fashion but the fashion coincided with a brutal history. Is she trying to preserve historical ignorance?
That orange-red lipstick is terrible.
She is f’ing HOT!!! The best looking of all of OJ’s kids…no shade.
Lord ladies in the last two days the Kardashian PR team have thrown out so many pity party stories they don’t know how to keep track of them…..this one, Kim and Kourtney fighting over parenting? …Kanye and Scott on being a good father/husband/baby daddy…..Bruce ever changing sex change….and Kylie fighting with Pimp mother and running over to live with Khloe……plus some Kendall supermodel stories comparing her to Gisele and Heidi Klum…which got shot down so fast it disappeared within hours of posting…. but you would think they would wait a day before this story and the Kylie story….makes it look a little off ….little sister moving in on poor depressed big sister…now….but the big thing with the Kylie story was the line..”she and Khloe feel like they are being left out of the family and not part of it .” in other words they aren’t getting as much face time with the papz and Kim and Kourtney….and Kendall….wish rings more the truth this all this depressed crap..Jealous YES depressed NO….Khloe wants the attention …LOOK at me ! LOOK at me! .
That ass is just ridiculous.
Look, the pressures of trying to convince herself she’s hot are really starting to get to her, you guys.
