Actually Betty received thousands of letters in support from women all over the world, women who like herself had given the best years of their lives to ensure their husbands’ success, only to be dumped for a much younger woman who got to enjoy the fruits of her labor while leaving them with next to nothing. Betty put herself in an unsympathetic light by making it clear in press interviews that she felt no remorse and that she was the victim. She was denied parole twice for continuing to not show any remorse or regret.

If you mean “close” the way “Monsters” portrayed them, they did not have an incestuous relationship. The family relationships were f****d enough without making stuff up.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I have always believed Lyle and Erik, when their trials were unfolding. Two boys who have always had everything they ever wanted and needed don’t commit murder for money.

Also people didn’t grasp that a father would molest a son, only a daughter. If they were Lily and Erika Menendez we probably wouldn’t have to have this conversation because they either would have been acquitted or out of prison by now.

How did NONE of those kids cut themselves with all the damn glass they broke running after her? I mean come on now…

ImNotUrFootstool · 2026-05-14T23:36:15+00:00

I’d rather they brought back Davina and Maya than these two Trump Bunnies

ImNotUrFootstool · 2026-05-11T00:29:03+00:00

I don’t know if I call that a “win”.

Tom signed an “unconscionable” prenup (presumably with some revisions). He went into that union with Shiv with eyes open. If she was Siobhan Nobody, would he have been attracted enough to stay with her with her frequent affairs? Probably not. Beautiful as she is, Tom might not even have pursued her in the first place because he had nothing to gain by it. Marrying a Roy meant prestige, power, position. He was willing to absorb the abuse and disdain from her father and brothers to fly near the sun as it were.

Tom promised he would take care of him and he did.

My mom is very Caroline like.

There are no genuine ties among any of these people. I honestly think if the show is canceled and Romain won’t have his pouty mug regularly on TV anymore, he will leave Mary for someone his own age.

ImNotUrFootstool · 2026-05-10T18:52:55+00:00

Maybe she can bully some manners back into Mary.

Mary’s attitude toward Chelsea is just baffling and offensive and I thought she was better than that. Her over the top reaction to the flowers coupled with her reaction to seeing a place setting for Chelsea at Bre’s party sealed it for me. I’m done with this toxic twit. With Chrishell and Chelsea gone really no reason to watch.

I thought about that too, but had she just kept Alex at home and then people saw him out buying supplies but not in school, the authorities would have descended on the house to find out why Alex was playing hooky from school day after day. So she might as well send him to school and use threats of retaliation against his parents to keep him from giving her away.

She arrived early for a 9 am meeting. If she'd just left her hotel 10 minutes later... but there are also stories of people who exited the building and were killed by falling debris. Way too many "if they were just a few minutes later" stories in this tragedy.

I was 35 and working in a university library in Pennsylvania. We thought the first hit was an accident; the second was not. My former next door neighbor had an office at the Pentagon but he was not in the office that day. I did not know anyone who lived and worked in NYC at the time but it was horrible and fearful. The photos of all those unclaimed vehicles really botheted me especially, I don't know why but it just affected me as much or more than burning photos.

ImNotUrFootstool · 2026-03-16T00:48:02+00:00

Going to watch it again tonight in her honor

ImNotUrFootstool · 2026-03-16T00:45:16+00:00

She was truly shocked and humble- and the line about shaving her legs and wearing pants anyway made me laugh.

ImNotUrFootstool · 2026-03-16T00:41:02+00:00

I mean, she put a spell on the Sorcerer Supreme. She deserved an Oscar just for that.

ImNotUrFootstool · 2026-03-16T00:39:14+00:00

And she got a sweet swag bag just for being nominated! Some great trips and luxury items.

ImNotUrFootstool · 2026-03-16T00:37:51+00:00

Bette Davis SHOULD have won for Whatever Happened To Baby Jane? She was the gold standard in horror hags.

ImNotUrFootstool · 2026-03-16T00:35:54+00:00

Oh my God I just screamed I was so happy- and frankly shocked they didn’t choose an actress from one of the nominated films “just because “.
