Maybe you’ve seen actor Gregg Sulkin on MTV’s “Faking It,” romancing Selena Gomez on Disney’s “Wizards of Waverly Place” or on the red carpet with CVS feminist and ex-girlfriend Bella Thorne. Or maybe you haven’t seen him at all.
But the internet gave Sulkin a warm welcome on Wednesday night after he posted a photo of himself wearing a “Grab Her By The Brain” hat from the poorly named female empowerment initiative inspired by Donald Trump’s comments captured on a 2005 hot-mic recording.
Grab Her By The Brain is an initiative dedicated to empowering females of all ages. Honored to take part. https://t.co/9mDt99ygAE pic.twitter.com/wC7ch5VlRr

Things went from bad to worse for Sulkin when he tried to respond to the ensuing backlash ― let’s try not grab women anywhere, OK? ― and ended up mirroring many of Trump’s own tweets about media bias and distortion.
I think our generation has to be the most superficial and entitled of them all.

I hope their lies in made up stories at least earn them enough money to feed their children at night.

The fact that the media are allowed to print lies, in order to make money, while making an individual (me) look bad, is a bit of a joke.

I like to keep certain things in my life private, hence, why I haven't spoken about certain topics. However, when I'm portrayed in a

Dishonest manner, I have to speak up and say "that is incorrect". I think every person who knows me, is aware of what kind of man I am.

And that is a man, that I'm extremely proud to be. And will always be.
