“take them off”

“Nonsense. Look at all the miscreants that wear nothing at all
to hide what they LOOK like.
.... for instance, Beck, Palin, Limbaugh, Hannity...­etc.”

“Oh, wow, why didn't I think of that? Sobbing in public and sucking their thumbs is so beneficial to the stars! No wonder she did it!”

“So you've come to the conclusion that in reality she's a crafty faker? Uh-huh, ok.”

“What exactly do you mean by "let's not confuse him with Lambert" ???”

“I'd like to see him "make a living" - as an assistant janitor at a battered woman's shelter.”

“These are conversations to have with your therapist, not Oprah and twenty million. Not to mention Mr. Philips never got to tell his side and most posters here think that's fine. An accusation means truth, period, although we have many examples of when it was the opposite. Remember the McMartin case in CA? Where all the kids lied and destroyed dozens of committed child care workers and educators?

Greatgreat Grandpa (nineties) came on to my son when he was a teen. Grandpop thought he was his wife and suggested improprieties. We shared this as a family - we made sure this senile man was never around a child alone . I cannot imagine how telling the world about this should make me feel better?


Who would have bought this book before her 'accusation tour'? No, one. Group therapy is one thing, but is it really a cathartic thing for this woman to share this story with the world? She is clearly using her 'coming out' to promote her book sales; a celebrity and no one mentioned her name in decades just a year ago, and now she is on every blog, website and even TV magazine news shows.

This topic at hand - insest, child abuse - is very serious and an accusation DOES, not can, destroy a life. It kind of reminds me of the witch trials, if you were called a witch, it was all over. If you are called a pedophile now, the jury is out, you”

“"....went out in the late 80s early 90s" ??!

Being open about sexual abuse is not a fad or fashion, but a stop forward for abused children and their healing.

You might be right that she should have kept it between herself, a therapist, a therapy group, and her friends and family, though, but she has a book to sell.

(I can see both sides of this).”

“I am so sick and tired of that worn out old cliche "there are always two sides to a story." Really? Were there 2 sides to the story of Hitler killing millions of Jews? Were there 2 sides to the stories about Jeffrey Dahmer and his horrific killing spree?

Sometimes wrong is just wrong. John Phillips, while being a talented musician, was a drug-addled, irresponsible father who indulged all his whims and cast morality to the wind.

I bought her book and read it. It rang true to me. Michelle Phillips has a few skeletons in her own closet...I can't believe her nerve in casting her stepdaughter out. Shame, shame, shame.”

“If her accusations are true I don't think I'd wanna here the father's excuse-o-rama story.”

“you mean, where were the people?

That's why God made people--to be our brothers' keeper.”

“Did you read the article? She made it up...so do you now request that she be locked up?

Rush to judgement?”

“Thank you for your honesty. The rest of these guys try to claim there is no such thing as ga ng ra pe, yet it happens all the time.”

“Yeah. Maybe we'll get a deadlocked jury on those 9/11 conspirators too!”

“ditto. she might as well be writing for the Globe or National Inquirer.”

“You seriously think Jolie is "deep"? Their PR machine in overdrive seems to be working for some people.”

“Jolene and Bradders should associate with John and Kate and Speidi, they are not on the level of Johhny Depp. They are not deep at all and probably would have much to talk about with Speidi and John and Kate.”

“Ha and Bradders is? Depp is too deep for either Jolene or Pitt, of the grocery trip photo ops and staged art gallery pictures. Ha!”

“But this is a la mode, where notoriety is equal to fame (see Britney and Kanye)
Just like the housing market this too will crash in my opinion”

“I miss their "spats" they were hysterical.”
