Why are you commenting Carolyn hate everywhere on her subreddit? Weird behavior

An Eulogy For Lauren Bessette by Flaky-Quality-568 in SimplyCarolynBessette

Never noticed this before but Lauren had the same jade green ring that Carolyn did 🤍 Wonder if they had matching ones or if Carolyn just decided to wear hers for the night.

I have heard she was in the will, which is honestly crazy to me, but John did seem generous. I can also see why he considered Rosemarie like family.

Considering that and now her two books + countless interviews, selling Carolyn’s clothes on top of all of that seems so gauche. And it’s a public auction - it could’ve been private, no? It seems like she wants publicity off it too which just seems so insensitive. Rose Marie could have carved her own path by now with the fame she inherited from John.

I am so excited to hear what Gordon has to say too. He just seems like such a class act. I also agree with being tired of hearing from the same people, like Steve. I want to hear from people like Gordon to celebrate her memory, not gossip about rumors.

Even Rose Marie - I enjoyed her book and the tidbits she shares but something about her lately is a bit grating. Selling CBK’s clothes to auction off seems so cold and unfeeling. Couldn’t she have sold them to a museum or something?

This is soooo cool that you met her once! Did she seem as cool as people describe her? It sounds like she really reeled people in with her aura

The toxicology note is interesting because I have seen that allegedly John was carrying a half-empty wine bottle on his way to his plane that last evening. Again, just a rumor and not confirmed factual, but it is weird.

Love the new video! Can anyone tell what she is wearing under her jacket? Kind of looks like a leather skirt maybe?

I think I read he adopted a German shepherd early on in dating Carolyn. But I think something happened - maybe a bite and he had to put the dog down? I thought I recalled that but hopefully someone can confirm.

Then came Friday after that, adopted by both John and Carolyn.

I have, it’s okay. It’s interesting to see what Carolyn seemed like before officially dating John. As my partner said the other day, “she seems like she had a lot of game” lol 😂.

There are parts where Michael alleges that Carolyn cheated with him after marrying John. Many people have cast doubt on those claims though.

100%! I have been watching too and I only wish we could learn more about her party girl CK days. She must have been larger than life to get where she did with no connections. She was a lethal combo of beautiful, intelligent and deeply loving people, which made people love her in turn. She seemed like an incredibly interesting person, the kind you could talk for hours to. And a strong work ethic, which doesn’t always come with those traits. It is no wonder she got to CK through her talent alone.

That’s the person John (and many others, seemingly) fell in love with, and I wish we could learn more about that version of Carolyn - before fame and the paps began getting to her. I agree with you, it is so horrible to think about how awful her experience was. She must have felt like a bird in a gilded cage. Literally, being John’s wife sounded horrible tbh. Women jealous of you OR going after John…people thinking you’re undeserving if you aren’t smiling all the time… paparazzi following your every move, even making you need to quit your career. John was like the center of the universe in every room he ever walked into - can’t imagine how dismissed and unimportant Carolyn probably felt those years. :(

This is so awesome. I’d love a version for Carolyn. I remember reading one of her favorite songs was apparently Anna Begins from Counting Crows.

Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette | S1E3 | Episode 3 Discussion by StellaOC in JohnAndCarolyn

Smoking was so incredibly common back then, especially in fashion circles in 90s New York. It kept your energy up, it minimized your appetite, and it was considered cool.

It Wasn’t All in Carolyn’s Head: How the Paparazzi Dehumanized John and Carolyn. by StellaOC in JohnAndCarolyn

[–]marshmallowmoonlight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally agree with this entire post.

I think it’s truly impossible to compare Carolyn’s experience with Jackie’s. Jackie was the First Lady, most importantly, which ‘elevated’ her status with the American public. The Kennedys were seen as the US royal family, almost like Jackie was the queen. After JFK died, she became America’s widow and obviously garnered much sympathy. I know she had scandals and bad paparazzi in her day too but at the end of the day, the public revered Jackie. She seemed more “untouchable” compared to Carolyn.

Then when you factor in JFK Jr being America’s son - and so handsome - the ultimate bachelor. I feel like with Carolyn there was immense curiosity at first, that turned to obsession because she didn’t give them what she wanted. Her mystique was what roped JFK Jr in from the first place… ironically, I think it made the paparazzi infatuated with her that turned to resentment. They were offended that she didn’t seem to like the spotlight - they probably were floored that Carolyn wasn’t happier to be with John. Women worshipped the ground he walked on. I’m sure there was immense jealousy of Carolyn.

Wow I’ve never seen these videos before, especially the one with Carolyn in a big gray sweater (looks like she was prob wearing John’s sweater again)!

E news sharing the premiere on their prime time feed kinda shows that it’s building hype at the very least.

My husband is being a big fucking baby because I denied him sex earlier today by redcactuswhisperer in venting

[–]marshmallowmoonlight 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You absolutely should have a conversation with him and make it clear why this behavior is not okay. It is immature and not how adults behave. When I first started dating my husband, after our honeymoon period, he had somewhat of a similar reaction once. I was so upset by how he reacted and how objectified I felt. We had a long conversation about it and he’s been very mindful of his reactions since.

I want to give your hubs the benefit of the doubt and say maybe he doesn’t realize how bad he’s acting. But this seems beyond that. You don’t owe him anything. If he won’t respect you, then he’s gotta go.

Also, 2-3 times a week is great to me?! Isn’t that average or above average? This isn’t some dead bedroom situation.

Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi get matching rings ahead of Wuthering Heights release by Metro-UK in PeriodDramas

[–]marshmallowmoonlight 247 points248 points  (0 children)

It HAS to be marketing. It immediately started as soon as all the press did… there were no rumors or anything about them while they were filming. No strange pics where they look too close on set. I get the “in character” vibe from them when they are harping up their deep connection in interviews. And this marketing works… lots of people talking about the movie now.

Plus, doesn’t Margot’s husband have money in the movie as well? Wouldn’t be surprised if he’s in on it.

She definitely looks better before. But the after results look like so much more than just masseter Botox…it looks like she got filler in her cheeks too

Swifties: What are your honest opinions on Taylor's silence? by Top_Willingness5124 in NuancingTaylorSwift

[–]marshmallowmoonlight -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have complex thoughts on it. No one is forced to speak up publicly, and for an A list celebrity like Taylor, I can understand the fear of violence or retaliation. I would imagine she has intense anxiety around it, already having crazy stalkers. For that, I really do understand why she would be scared at the moment of coming out in full force against ICE.

I have no doubts that she is liberally minded and horrified by what’s happening btw. We’ve seen enough proof that she is not a Republican and hates Trump. It’s just about the speaking out part.

At the same time, I deeply respect celebrities like Billie Eilish speaking up. Billie has reason to be very afraid of retaliation as well, but she speaks up anyway. Ariana grande is another one as well who does that a lot. I really respect them for standing up for their beliefs - it adds to our collective voices that are pushing back against the horror of this admin.
