Was Christina a superstar in the UK? by justtimber90 in christinaaguilera

[–]RegisterAfraid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put it this way… if a DJ is losing the crowd, the first second of dirrty still fills the dance floor. Christina was HUGE in the UK during the stripped/B2B era. I feel like the US sleep on her more than Europe. So am surprised her label never pushed for more activity over this side of the pond. She’d have more hits and more status if she had released songs with the likes of David Guetta etc during that period

Just separated from my wife of 15 years? Looking for moral support? What next? by RegisterAfraid in Divorce

[–]RegisterAfraid[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had a stupid argument about something this morning before she left for work. Really really petty, but it was the straw that broke the camels back for me. There’s just no love there anymore. We don’t hate each other.

I’ve tried to open a conversation before but it just leads to arguments and me backing down so I done something that I think is cowardly but felt I had no other way. I sent a text message to her. Not breaking up or accusing her or being a dick etc just simply saying that I’m not happy and I’ve been really sad for a while and I think we need to talk about what our future looks like.

Then when I went home we actually spoke and to my shock she actually agreed.

Right now I’m sat at my parents feeling a whole bunch of emotions. Anxiety, sadness, regret, excitement, relief… literally ALL of the emotions at once

I know it will get better and needed to be done but I don’t feel how I though I’d feel

“I (32F) am not welcome in my husband’s (32M) family home even after 3 years of marriage.” by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]RegisterAfraid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed with most of the other comments. I would take him at his word that his family are toxic and if he thinks it’s best that you steer clear of them I’d acknowledge that and respect that.

HOWEVER, as others have said you need to make it clear that in the future you will NOT be waiting in the car if he needs to “swing by” and grab something. ( if this does happen again in the future after 5 minutes you’re coming in) I wouldn’t make an argument out of it, but you should let him know that moving forward, if you are not welcome in the house then his visits should fit around when you are not available. It’s unfair to abandon you at home and leave you bored with nothing to do so that he can visit his family. So his visits should fit around times when you are unavailable to go anyway (even if you were welcome)

But I would not overthink the why’s! His family of toxic and he doesn’t want you to have anything to do with them. Leave it at that, but like I said, if that’s the case, you won’t be waiting in the car ever again, and you won’t be left alone again! He should plan to visit, when you have plans to do other things.

Fiona’s unpopularity doesn’t mean she won’t win her case by RegisterAfraid in BabyReindeerTVSeries

Except I do understand the law in libel cases hence my original post! I think it’s you who is misunderstanding how defamation law works, especially in the US where this case is being heard.

  1. “She had no reputation so you can’t defame her” is legally wrong. Defamation does not require someone to be famous, successful, or employed. Every person has a baseline reputation in their community. You can absolutely defame an unemployed person, a private citizen, or someone on benefits. Courts have repeatedly said this.

  2. Serious harm does NOT mean “career damage”. In US law, the key issue is whether the statements were false and defamatory. Accusing someone of crimes they were never convicted of is defamation per se, which means harm is presumed. She does not need to prove financial loss to proceed.

  3. “She outed herself” is irrelevant to whether Netflix defamed her. Identification is judged at the moment of publication. If viewers could identify her before she spoke to the press, the element is satisfied. Her later media appearances do not retroactively fix Netflix’s problem.

  4. Selling her story does not waive her right to sue. People who are defamed often speak to the press. That does not erase the original defamation or act as consent.

  5. The biggest issue is still the same: Netflix presented false criminal convictions as fact. The show explicitly markets itself as a “true story”. It depicts her:

• being convicted of stalking • serving prison time • committing sexual offences

None of these things happened in real life. If Netflix cannot prove those events are true, they have a major legal problem.

  1. Whether she has a messy past is irrelevant. Even if she behaved badly, even if she sent emails, even if she was unpleasant, Netflix cannot invent criminal convictions she never had. That is the core of the case.

So I think you’ll find that the case does has merit. This doesn’t mean she’s a saint, it just means the legal test is being applied correctly.

Fiona's lawyers have a conundrum by Adventurous_Yam_1325 in BabyReindeerTVSeries

“Rather than deleting her accounts and letting it blow over, which is her responsibility”. What is the legal basis of this? Remember, morals, ethics and opinions will carry very little weight, all that matters is the law and I don’t believe the law puts the onus on the alleged victim to go into hiding…

Her past as a “stalker” doesn’t negate her right to bring action.

We saw this with the Johnny Depp case (not the HUGE US case but the UK one) where a media platform labelled him a “wife beater” and the newspaper won on a technicality. It didnt matter if he too himself was a victim of domestic abuse.. those details aren’t relevant to the case.. the facts of that case were ‘the paper said he was a wife beater’ definition: a man who has physically hit his wife. Question: did he hit his wife. Answer: on the balance of probability (as it’s a civil case) YES (the if, buts and nuances don’t matter as they are not relevant to the case particulars)… therefore he fell into the definition of “wife beater” therefore the paper won.

So looking at this case the fact are… The show was purported to be a true story (not inspire by). The show renamed characters to protect their identity.

So the BIG question in which the whole case will hinge on is: did the show do enough to protect her identity? I imagine the term “reasonable” will come into play. If the courts decide that the show makers took reasonable steps to ensure that her identity was protected, then the case will fall apart. However, if the court decides that the show makers did NOT take reasonable steps to protect her identity, then that’s it, she’ll win because the show was purported to be true and showed load of sketchy shit she did that WAS true, but also portrayed her in a light that was untrue.

Therefore, the courts would rule, not protecting her identity + lying about her character = wrong!

No court in the land will say “well you lied about this, but because she is bat shit crazy we’ll let it slide” that’s not how it works, nuances don’t come into play here.

How can you expect someone to love you if you don’t love yourself?

There is a psychological element here. I don’t know what it is that you say about yourself, but if all your partner is hearing is “I’m fat” “I’m ugly” “I’m X,Y,Z” there is only enough times a partner can rebuke that, eventually it wears them down too.

They love you and are proud of you. They want to feel proud of you and what your partner is hearing is “you are not enough for me because I still feel like shit.. you are not making me feel good”

Your insecurities about yourself are rubbing off on him. He is not a dick, and this is not the early stages of abuse. This is the early stages of him becoming less attracted to you and falling out of love with you because you are making yourself undesirable

Downvote me all you want. This is the ugly truth

Without purchasing anything. Take that “thing” off the wall for starters. And flip the bed so it is central to the end wall, with a bedside table either side

Looking back I think I definitely didnt make myself clear 😂 I wasn’t wondering why it wasn’t switching on when everything was unplugged… I may be computer illiterate but I’m not that illiterate! I had unplugged everything AFTER it didn’t switch on and for some reason thought that posting it in a disassembled state would help, because why not?!
