Gabe Delahaye: An Open Letter To Good Morning America Concerning The Chris Brown Situation →
I’m sure that managing a daily morning talk show is difficult. So much politics, right? You’ve got to do some work to massage the big egos of Hollywood so that they keep coming back and answering your questions about favorite limousines to ride in and who has a crush on whom! Sure. I get that. But guess what: THAT’S NOT WHAT IS GOING ON HERE. We are talking about a convicted domestic abuser continuing a pattern of ACTUAL FUCKING VIOLENCE, and not only do you pretend like this is not some kind of problem by refusing to file a police report, but you indulge and encourage it by publicly stating (PUBLICLY STATING) that everyone on the show “wishes him the absolute best.” EVERYONE ON THE SHOW WISHES HIM THE ABSOLUTE BEST? A) WHY? B) FUCK YOU. I’m not expecting any staffers who might disagree with this statement into which they have been unceremoniously lumped to actually quit their jobs in protest, but they should at least SERIOUSLY CONSIDER IT.
It’s despicable that it’s 2011 he (and also Charlie Sheen) are not only all but allowed to get away with this type of behavior, but are celebrated in spite of this.
The big media properties on Tumblr always seem to be reblogging news about each other with congratulatory messages, but I didn’t see any of them in the notes section yet. They must not have gotten to it yet.
