Wait… Baz Lurhmann??? Sorry that is not my only take away. Was sorry then and sorry now that you became the sole object of his childish retribution. So impressed by how you held up against that intense scrutiny and admire how you inspire so many. You are fab, you look fab. I hope you know it cuz we all do. 💝💝💝

I paused the movie, and cleaned my glasses to read this. It was everything I needed to hear. I remember when all of this happened, and I kept thinking, I wonder how she feels and what is she thinking thru all of this. Then I thought, I will watch from far, and root and holler and be in her corner. keep smiling and shining!!

My jaw was agape for most of this. The backlash against Kanye was how I started following GKJ, simply because I hated the thought of a bigot ending some young woman’s career because he knew he did some bigoted fucked up thing. Stayed because she’s so talented and I’ve appreciated her insight

This was absolutely breathtaking, and such an important piece of writing that touches on incredibly important subjects in the industry and the world right now. Thank you for sharing, for being yourself, for showing up. Your voice is a balm.

“No live juice - wack as hell” is the only acceptable way to describe Candace Owens from now on.

I still cannot fathom how rancid that day/week/month must have felt for you. He is a sick man who refuses to address his illness and the pathetic souls who live off his illness are evil. OH and the Costes sucks hard. always has - and i have a scar on my shin to prove it - turn the lights on
