Iām glad your Ted has a great mom like you.
Itās not the 1930s. Or the Victorian era ā¦ or any time when this is a scandal. āHollywoodā doesnāt care about ādiscarding for a younger modelāā¦. Neither do most other people in the world, Iād think. Itās happened for eons, happens every day.
This is also the reason I donāt care what BWās likes are. IG has culpability and agency over this situation. They are his and Aliceās children, he owes the children their place in all of it. Iām not saying BW should be downright horrible to the children in a Disney step mum kinda way, but she isnāt a parent or Co-parent yet. There is no evidence to suggest sheās even met them.
I don't think anyone is talking about BW 'stealing' anyone. We're all too level-headed here to label BW the man-thieving harlot and to play into misogynistic tropes. What a few people have been saying is that IF there was an affair, and the timeline makes that seem very likely, then it is relevant to the overall discussion. Nothing more, nothing less.
Totally this. People would have been more sympathetic and actually IG (and BW) would have been seen as the 'villains' in the story which she would have revelled in. However, she thinks dignified silence to the public is beneath her and doesn't care who she drags through the dirt with her (even her kids) to wage this supposed war of truth for all women. This incessant Twitter teenage hothead drama does her no favours.
This is Ioan Gruffudd we're talking about.
Exactly. In my opinion, Alice is a woman with a very likely untreated Cluster B disorder, in the midst of a very public breakdown that she has instigated. She is histrionic, highly reactive and loves attention so her response is to give into those urges when she is in pain. A true narcissist or psychopath would be much more clever and strategic. They are very smart and would have seen the opportunity this would have presented to be convincingly cast as the victim, if they played their cards right. I mean, she could still be both or either of those things, but I am not qualified enough or have observed her personally enough to confirm.
Beg to differ. A lot of those who have reservations about BW are questioning her motives, etc. As in, why did she get involved with a married man? Why not question his? I donāt know squat about her (other than a few IG posts mentioned here) and I didnāt know the names of anyone involved in this until a few weeks agoā¦ I find the machinations interesting, and AEās narc behaviour like watching a car crash in action. But the two camps ā¦ BW has ulterior motives, etc., BW is his savior ā¦ are equally off base to me.
I don't think she spends enough time around other people. Covid won't of helped this, she does seem wrapped up in her own little bubble. The insults are very teenage, it's like time stopped. The reaction to her dad is teenage too.
Iām by no means anywhere near qualified to just plonk a label on her, but speaking from personal experience with my emotional dysregulation or bpd whatever you prefer to call it, this is literally the problem. Time HAS stopped. You donāt emotionally mature beyond much of a child. I would sling the worst, most childish insults at people when I was having a meltdown before I had treatment. Itās really embarrassing to admit, but I would know exactly what buttons to push with whoever I was in a conflict with. You want other people to feel the pain inside you, itās like having no outer layer of skin to protect you. And the more the person you want to communicate with ignores you, the worse it gets. But this is just my personal experience, and Iām just applying that to what I can see here. Iāve mentioned here before that my grandmother was a borderline Narc, and she was like that up until she died. I donāt know if the narc element makes you more resistant to getting treatment, I really donāt. But sheās getting kinda long in the tooth for this to still be raging on.
I don't think we're saying mutually exclusive things and I actually very much agree with the BIB.
I suspect both are right in a way lol
and married Alice!!This is Ioan Gruffudd we're talking about.
He was mugged by a pregnant woman.
And by a fake cop.
And joined a cult.
I agree with this so much!!! And when it comes to cheating and unknowingly being involved, women are always preaching at other women to " let the other woman know" and they usually think whether you have to hunt them down, stalk their insta, PM or email them with a fake name or whatever, that you should automatically do it and if you don't " you're anti woman". To me it gets toxic when people are like that.
I agree. I think thereās also a lot to be said about BW going to France in the first place. That was clearly done to be with IG. From a sm post of hers we know it was always planned for at least two months (the gap in seeing her dog). As we all know, IG was in LA for about a year after last before going to France. Weāve been in a global pandemic with varying travel restrictions the entire time. I canāt suspend disbelief long enough to buy that two people who hadnāt seen each other in at least a year suddenly got together remotely from LA & Australia and after a month were living together in France during a work trip presenting as a couple to his colleagues to then complete a larger move to LA. Even if they moved the timeline out of when they got together to earlier this year we would still have to buy that they connected remotely after 6+ months of not seeing each other in person and ending a marriage. Not even going to touch on it being off that they were in the same social orbit long enough in Australia to connect enough to stay in contact as friends if they did get together via remote long distance relationship after he ended the marriage.
