DamN. And I thought I was petty 😂😂😂
Lol you gotta admit that broke azz pedo is pretty bad. The only blind item that ever made sense about those two (other that the obvious wtf publicity) is that he is a drug dealer.
She is a fool and I wish the govt would audit the whole family. I am sure they are doing shady dealings and getting money illegally and tons through their “escort” service.
I hope they all get skewered and have to pay big time.
ugh Daniel Radcliffe. what the hell? this is disgusting.
Did you read his actual quote by any chance?
yes i did. birds of a feather. as a white man he obviously does not have to care about racism and i find that disgusting.
Yeah, he’s still friends with racists. If you allow yourself to associate with people who talk and think that way….that’s pretty deplorable.
“They’re not white supremacists, they would never be that extreme, but they are anti-immigration and absolutely voted to leave in Brexit.”
I don’t think being anti-immigration in a whole of terror or voting to leave in Brexit qualifies as being a “racist.”
No, but the way he carefully phrased it suggests that they actually are. Someone can be really racist and not be a white supremacist.
I read that quote as him mixing up racist with xenophobe maybe, especially as he referenced Brexit. But yeah he needs new friends quick.
When asked if he spent some time with “real” white supremacists, this is his reponse:
“No, but I know some really fucking racist people, friends I vehemently disagree with. They’re not white supremacists, they would never be that extreme, but they are anti-immigration and absolutely voted to leave in Brexit. And I’m still friends with them because I don’t think that friendship should be drawn along those lines. That’d be a really sad way of viewing the world.”
I absolutely believe that one should be friends with others of different opinions and that acceptance/tolerance goes both ways. However, there is still a line. And that line for me is racism, along with sexism, misogyny, bigotry, homophobia, and other ways of thought that inherently creates another human being as the “other” or “less than”.
I cut this some slack personally. He could have just lied like so many people would, especially someone famous.
I think it’s probably better that he is “friends with these people. It sounds like he probably calls them out on their ignorance. It doesn’t sound like he agrees or goes along with it. I think that is the only way to teach some people better. They won’t learn anything by being surrounded by like minded people. Just my opinion.
@MmeRain – Yes, this is absolutely true. The way he phrased it was rather strange.
There is a line for me. As I’ve said before, I’m a mixed person who generally can pass for white (provided you’ve never seen my family, of course). I’ve found that some white people feel it alright to say rather racist things around me because they presume I am white too. I do not want to be friends with somebody who is racist. See, when you’re a white person surrounded by white people – like Daniel is – racism is an abstract concept. It’s a thing you discuss in theory or read about in books. It’s not something you are actually dealing with routinely. If you’re POC, racism isn’t an abstract – it’s a very tangible, very present thing in your life (generally, of course). Thus, it would be much, much harder for you to abide racism in any friends you might have. Daniel Radcliffe can feel this way because racism doesn’t impact him that much.
One thing I’ve learned from watching British shows is that they use the word “racist” when not referring to race. So being anti immigration is race. You don’t like the French? Racist. Mocking Scotts? Racist.
The thing about being friends with a racist…you can call them on it, and introduce them to new perspectives in an unthreatening manner. While they might not encounter a broader perspective from their likeminded friends and social media, I think if we are going to actually change people’s minds the friend route is the most effective way to do it.
My grandparents have said things that I find unacceptable, but I don’t remove them from my life. I take my position of loved grandchild and gently introduce a different perspective that they might not have considered before. Now, instead of blindly believing whatever emailed conspiracy they receive about things like President Obama, if Muslims can be “good” Americans, etc., they forward me emails as a fact check. I then have a non-threatening yet pointed conversation with them about the bigger picture.
I do recognize, as Sam points out, that it is privilege that allows me to have these gradual conversations.
HH- a lot of us would have to disown our families and never speak to our neighbors and coworkers if we took your approach… You can be absolute because you have other options.
People are always a complicated mix of good and bad. The reasons for all their -isms are rooted in their own experiences and upbringing and most of all their fears. I don’t particularly like the idea of the -ists being isolated only with others who have the same fears. Better for them to mix with the less fearful who can help them gradually change.
I have oft wondered if Radcliffe is ‘alright’
Have you ever been able to sit through one of his excruciating interviews?
I’ve wondered if he simply isn’t very bright as he blurts out the oddest rubbish as though words have no need to follow thought in sentences and the interviewer just smiles and nods
I see the same thing here
He doesn’t see or understand the difference between racism and xenophobia and also doesn’t see that many people in the UK voted to leave the EU for many reasons not related remotely to race. He talks about white supremacists as he acted in a movie with such and these are the only frames of reference that he understands in the world
He doesn’t realise that racism is such a huge huge epic slash on the face of humanity that he shouldn’t be prattling on about it when he means something else
@JWoolman – Radcliffe’s comment was in reference to FRIENDS, people that someone has chosen to associate with. Very different. Although, that’s presuming one doesn’t take the word “friend” lightly. Coworkers and neighbors are involuntary interactions and relationships maintained out of necessity. Remaining on good terms with these individuals is important. But I would not refer to them as “friends”. I had a previous coworker that fit that very bill. Because she was on my team, I maintained a good relationship with her, but would never extend the title of friend to her. My friend’s husband was the same way. He put up with racists at his job, but never hung out with them outside of work and never called them his friends. This was until he found new employment.
HH- People have different levels of friendships and don’t always distinguish. But it’s not uncommon to have friends, even close friends, with seriously different views of the world in certain areas. It sounds as though he is comfortable enough with them to argue with them about serious differences. You find that repulsive, but I don’t. On the contrary, I find it hopeful. How else will change happen? It’s the “each one teach one” idea. Not everyone can deal with such divergence (not sure I could, either), but I’m glad some can.
I guess to me it depends on how he defines “knowing” people and “friends”. Like I am “friends” with some people on Facebook who I have known since I was 5 and never see or hang out with in real life who are Trump fans. The fact that we have a shared history plus the desire to not totally encase myself in a liberal bubble means that I remain Facebook friends with them and would have a friendly conversation once every 10 years in person. But I give them hell over Facebook when we argue about politics and I can do that because we have a shared history. But obviously at a certain point you need to cut it off.
I see what you are saying. I think it is always good to be there to give people hell when they are being stupid. I guess I just think I would rather there be one person in a room of people that would call them out on their crap. I like that better than thinking they are in a bubble and sitting around thinking that it is ok to act like that. I have family that I have to call out for things… As well as friends. I am surrounded daily by people who are very different than I am. For example, I consider myself a Christian but I have friends who are atheists. I don’t consider that being a traitor to what I stand for, I hope that I inspire them to question what they believe. That’s why I can kind of see where this guy is coming from. I don’t believe this makes him racist by proxy. Probably easier for me to say because I am white… Not trying to be insensitive to anyone.
Religion is not the same as hate. I am atheist but I know a lot of religious people and it’s never been a problem, we respect each other. I don’t feel threatened by their beliefs and there’s no debate for me about that since it’s very personal. I’m talking about normal religious people of course, not extremists. Racist and other ist folks don’t respect other people, people of my country, friends of mine, so no. They are a threat to peace and safety. I don’t discuss those matters twice since I can’t change the world. You’re with us or you’re not (I don’t mean you personally lucky jane). Especially now, you know, with this atmosphere everywhere.
Daniel Ratcliffe is sheltered and should think twice about what he is sharing, and what he is indulging in his private circle.
I’m a french white woman frightened as hell. An civil ethnic type war has started with an incident in Corse and another in Rennes in just a few days. It never happened like that before. Country is boiling
Jean… I really apologize if that sounded as if I was equating racism with being an atheist… That’s not where I was going at all. I was trying to say… I do not discount the power of another person’s influence. I would hope that there is room to show someone convinced of one thing that there is another side.
I am really sorry to hear of what is going on where you are. That is terrifying. And at the end of the day… I am just as sheltered as people are calling Daniel. I am aware of that. I guess that is why I had a different perspective too. But again, not really being faced with some of the things other people deal with… Makes it easy for me to say. Good thoughts for you and your family and friends.
Tiffany said it so much more eloquently than I did. I agree 100% with everything you said.
It’s hard to effect change through isolationism.
The main reason I doubt this is true is because PMK is a businesswoman at the end of the day. She wouldnt let one of her highest moneymakers anchor herself like this….
Exactly!
And how did that happen? How did Kylie get to be a “money maker”? I don’t understand the popularity of this horrible family and why everything they do (except Rob) is a huge success (yes, Khlozilla and The Slow One do nothing but they rake in the dough too)
I agree. There would be a TV special at least.
I’m hoping that’s the case. I can’t stand any of them, but would hate to think of such a young woman being taken advantage of like that.
Plus there’s no way they’d do anything in secret, it would be a huge production for their dumb show.
If it actually is true, Demon Mother would be spitting nails so much there would be a trail of nails following her everywhere she goes… A secret marriage would probably mean no pre-nup. The girl is young and naive enough to do something like that, hopefully she didn’t. She did say something odd once when talking with her dad and I think her grandmother on I Am Cait that made people wonder if she was already married.
I think Tyga is shaking all over for this and I also think we forget that Kylie is really young and he is literally the first guy who paid attention to her
We have all dated douche bags at some point
Some have luckily survived without marrying them or having their kids but we still know we had a lucky and unlikely escape
I hope this girl works on her self esteem with someone qualified. She can be her own person even though she is part of her family – she is more than just the brand
She seems really young, insecure and fragile to me and Tyga seems like a vulture circling
She gets attention for dating this D-bag and in her world, I think that counts for alot.
why not? she dropped the ball with Rob and now Tyga’s ex has an 18-year $$$$ payday coming her way….
I think it’s Karma with a K that these people only attract grifters…no decent people want to be associated with them.
Orrrr the Kardashian/Jenners just put that rumor out there because they need attention/ratings.
I believe this is nothing but attention thirst though if someone could bring the House of Kardassholes down WOULD be that one or Rob
They both seem very unintelligent and very badly damaged and neglected.
Urgh, I’m disappointed with Daniel Radcliffe… I actually don’t know how you can be friend with someone really racist. I mean, when it is your family, you can’t help it, you don’t choose your family but choosing being close to someone who is REALLY racist? I am still having issue talking to someone who could not for the life of her understand cultural appropriation or why blackface was wrong whatever the intention behind it so more than this, I really couldn’t…..
When I started watching a lot of British TV shows, I realized that they use the term “racist” even when they aren’t talking about race. Reading his quote, he specifically mentions immigrants and Brexit. So, not like Polish immigrants would be called racist.
I don’t know where you are from, but I’m from the U.S. and it was confusing to me at first because the term “racist” means something very different to me. There (and I am by no means an expert, but I have a few friends there and have watched a lot of shows), the term “racist” seems to mean something different. It’s more about where you are from then what your actual race is.
I am a French girl living in the UK. At the moment and with the Brexit, people are quick to brand the leavers with the term racist. Not all of them are but all the racists are leavers and there was a surge of racists incidents after the vote.
I guess he referred to it as the most recent “racist” occurence he had in mind but I would tend to say it was probably not the only racist thing his friends said. People can say the modt awful things without realising it…
I notice that the Nate Parker rape “scandal” has been virtually erased from the internet. Why is that? No one cares anymore? The whole thing disgusts me and I won’t be seeing that movie ever.
I think there were some articles this weekend in the NYT. And Lainey has two posts just today about it, back to back.
I love this site, but the Lainey post was the best piece I’ve read on the scandal, hands down. It was a brilliant piece of writing, and Kathleen deserves credit for writing such a bold, thoughtful piece.
Whenever the issue of racism comes up, there’s a troll to point out a black man raped someone.
Are you still all torn up about the Stanford swimmer who got 6 mos for raping an unconscious girl?
I don’t know where your search engines go but I found a hundred articles on the subject before I quit.
The sex cannot be that good
Right?! Having to watch that turtle make his O face would make me vomit.
To be fair it goes both ways now. Kylie’s face is a weird thing to look at.
Kylie needs to get that groin itch checked out by a doctor. Sick to death of her rubbing it just as her photo is being taken.
Maybe her plastic surgeon could prescribe a course of antibiotics when she goes to fix that ridiculously obvious chin implant perhaps?
Ha! I feel kind of bad laughing at her since she is young enough to be my daughter… But that was funny!
SNORT!
She really does appear to have a chronic problem with that! Guess that is par for the course when bottom-feeders date bottom feeders?
You’re really okay with saying this?
It’s the stubble.
And when they have kid, the child will be a half sibling/cousin of King Cairo. Oh my.
There’s no way they’ve married in secret. A member of that family missing out on five episodes worth of wedding planning, three mosquito-net wedding gowns and a ton of gifts? Ahahahaaaaaa! Her parents would cry and disinherit her.
I just watched a few episodes of this show.
Kylie seems incredibly sensitive and very smart.
I wish she would lose this guy for good.
She seems like a good kid living under strange circumstances.
if she was so smart, she would be with this mouth breathing loser. or messed with her face so much at such a young age. or walk around looking like a street walker.
Kylie is a lost soul and cretin she’s dating is using her as his personal ATM.
Isn’t this guy in considerable debt, including owing child support, at the same time he’s buying her $200,000 cars? She’s old enough to know that’s not right. This Klan sure know how to pick them…
Lainey gossip references a must read Buzzfeed article with an depth look at studios jumped on Nate Parker without checking his background and are now frantically trying to spin it with strategic help from Deadline and Variety. His attempt at redemption by citing all the women in his life is met with readers scorn who quickly point out what rapist doesn’t have women in their lives?
Kylie looks like she’s 45.
Ah, the Kardashian starter marriage.
Just like Kim.
Oh Misha. You’re career is already in the toilet, do you need to flush it too?
No way! Kardashians don’t do anything in secret. This would be a minimum 2 episode special if not their own reality show.
