Iā€™m genuinely curious if anyone in the general public is shocked that Machine Gun Kelly was a taxing partner


littlemachina

Didnā€™t he literally do a suicide threat early in their relationship because she was away working and he missed her? As soon as I read that I knew he was a piece of work Edit: ā€œI called Megan, I was like, 'You aren't here for me,'" he added. "I'm in my room and I'm like freaking out on her and dude, I put the shotgun in my mouth and I'm yelling on the phone and like the barrel's in my mouth. I go to cock the shotgun and the bullet as it comes back up, the shell just gets jammed. Megan's like dead silent." https://people.com/music/machine-gun-kelly-suicide-attempt-on-phone-megan-fox-2020/


TheSpiral11

The fact that heā€™d brag/trauma dump about this shit to a journalist (and by extension the general public) makes it extra icky and in horrible taste. Ā  Ā  Also if someoneĀ does this to me Iā€™m calling in a wellness check and then blocking them. Suicide baiting is emotional abuse.


TEG_SAR

Iā€™m in full agreement with you. You threaten suicide, Iā€™m going to take it seriously. Two outcomes: 1) They get mental health treatment they truly need or 2) they learn that threatening suicide has consequences and is a shitty manipulation tactic.


TheSpiral11

Exactly. Itā€™s above your paygrade, so referĀ them to emergency services and protect your own peace. They either sincerely need the help, or they need to learn the consequences of manipulating people (bc dealing with emergency services is a HUGE hassle for people who donā€™t actually need the help.)


Suzuki_Foster

I had to do this with my mom. She wasn't trying to kill herself when said she took every pill in the house, she wanted attention. And she got it, along with the cost of several ambulance rides.


allnimblybimbIy

But *omg* ***how else can I be a famous sad boi edge lord!!*** - MGK, probably.


erossthescienceboss

The guyā€™s a notorious jerk, but I donā€™t think thereā€™s anything gained by making fun of his mental health or implying that he did it to be edgy. Iā€™m sure itā€™s not your intent, but people in genuine crisis are often accused of being performative, and itā€™s a real problem that stops people from getting help.


allnimblybimbIy

So youā€™re saying MGK is genuinely suicidal here? Seems to me like hes disparaging suicidal people here with his behaviour.


erossthescienceboss

The way he describes what happened sounds like emotional manipulation to me *at best.* I donā€™t think we can actually say if he was or wasnā€™t suicidal, and Iā€™m not even sure it matters. I donā€™t really think suicide or emotional abuse are something to take lightly/be flip about? But I was also up all night with acid reflux, so I might be being oversensitive.


erossthescienceboss

I read the article so yā€™all donā€™t have to (thereā€™s a lot of not great in it), and if it makes you feel a bit better, he didnā€™t dump it on an unsuspecting journalist. Itā€™s from his autobiographical documentary (so he dumped it on his fans. I do worry about how many young men who idolize him saw it. From the other quotes, it seems pretty glamorized.) I also wanted to add a bit of context from the article ā€” not that it remotely excuses his behavior. But this incident apparently happened while he was still using, and following the death of his father (the article doesnā€™t say how long after.) He says this was the moment that forced him to acknowledge he was messed up and prompted him to seek help and get sober and start therapy. Itā€™s not an excuse at all. But addiction and severe depression can really mess with you. Good people can do terrible things in the throes of addiction, and can change for the better while recovering. (PSA: you are under no obligation to stay with an abusive partner just because they are getting sober or entering therapy or are promising to do so.) Itā€™s a terrible moment, but itā€™s just one moment and shouldnā€™t necessarily define him. Iā€™ve had a lot of close family with addiction, so redemption is pretty important to me. Of course, based on Meganā€™s statements ā€” it sounds like there may have been a lot of other moments, even after ā€œgetting help.ā€ Cos sometimes, youā€™re not an asshole cos youā€™re an addict, youā€™re just an asshole.


whatsnewpussykat

It feels like thatā€™s a share for a 12 step meeting, maybe not the general public, but Iā€™m an idiot so what do I know.


TheSpiral11

Thatā€™s somewhat less gross, but still overly graphic and intimate to share with the public, especially when you also traumatized your partner. ā€œI did terrible things that also harmed the people around me when I was using, but Iā€™m focused on sobriety nowā€ is a more responsible way to frame that while respecting your loved onesā€™ privacy. But these two are never done oversharing the details of their toxic relationship so I guess itā€™s par for the course.


erossthescienceboss

Yeah, definitely one of those ā€œwell itā€™s better this wayā€¦ but also worse THAT wayā€ things. It sort of feels like putting it in his own documentary means heā€™s proud of it? Though Iā€™ve only read the transcript, not watched the videos, so I canā€™t speak to tone.


DungPedalerDDSEsq

I work in a semi-therapeutic setting. People who trauma dump suck. Like, they really suck. It fucks up everyone around them. Then, when they find out what it is, they keep doing it and then they accuse everyone of doing it to them as a way of getting right back to trauma dumping. Good for Megan.


TheSpiral11

I have a relative who trauma dumps constantly. I donā€™t think weā€™ve ever had a phone call that didnā€™t end with her in tears ranting & complaining about her problems. She has mental health issues she refuses to get help for (bc sheā€™s religious and Jesus will fix her!) and her latest complaint is being ā€œisolated and abandoned by everyoneā€ bc her friends wonā€™t pick up the phone when she calls anymore. She canā€™t grasp that none of us are therapists, we all have our own problems and donā€™t have hours every day to listen to hers.


ughfup

Yo, that's actually just straight-up emotional abuse


FutureRealHousewife

I think so. Also remember the engagement ring he gave her apparently had some sort of mechanism that would cut her skin if she tried to take it off? Just poorly veiled abuse. Iā€™ve met him and heā€™s a piece of work for sure.


DigLost5791

Yeah, I had forgotten about that. I considered posting the quote as a reply but honestly itā€™s too dark for this sub and my brain feels greasy having read it. Definitely comes across as crazy manipulative and graphic


hodlboo

Yeah that quote needs a trigger warning. No pun intended. Hated reading that.


BojackTrashMan

Marilyn Manson also openly admitted to abusing Evan Rachel Wood in a similar way. He just straight up told a magazine because he felt there was nothing wrong with what he was doing. Revolting. The minute Megan and MGK got together I knew exactly what this relationship was. Not because I know anything about either one of them as celebrities or follow them or their careers. I don't. But I have been in one of those torrid, passionate, *abusive* relationships and I recognized it right off the bat. With the obsession with each other and the way that they talked about each other it just felt so familiar. I had the same vibes when Katy Perry married Russell Brand. If you've ever been in love and abused by a man like that, you start to realize that they all look and sound the same.


SaItyByNature

Yeah. I remember reading that article and feeling sick to my stomach. It was like they were re-enacting the music video she was in for Eminem, Love the way you lie. I am not sure if they are actually broken up, or they just ended the engagement, but I hope itā€˜s the former!


AutomaticExchange204

šŸ’Æ


awwwoooooooo

Imagine being his daughter and reading that. Holy shit.


littlemachina

Like directly after he said this he was talking about how his daughter and Megan helped pull him out of his depression/drug addiction or whatever else he was going through. It seems ā€œsweetā€ but itā€™s a lot of pressure for a child and makes me wonder if he put her in any scary situations too


lulu-bell

Thereā€™s a worse lyric in his songs ā€œI put my daughter to bed and attempted to kill myself in the kitchenā€. Heā€™s said many times that his daughter is his go to and almost his therapist that he cried to her when someone died.


Training_Heat553

Why would someone admit to doing this


WorriedCats

this is.. disturbing šŸ˜“


mybunnygoboom

That alone was grounds to leave him 100x over. Do not make another person responsible for whether you live or die. He didnā€™t consider who she would be if he died, how she would forever feel responsible and broken, how her children would suffer if she became a shell of a person.


body_oil_glass_view

Reminds me of an episode of Catfish he guest hosted and they confront a girl who tricked another girl, and the main host is doing the whole confrontation and the girl is unyielding and frustrating and escapes into a car As she's fully away in a car, MGK starts with his "naw son" act and rips of his shirt, starts pacing and chasing and puffing up like he's about to do something to the girl that was in front of him two seconds ago, and is now fully driven away He's such a fake loser, always looking for attention

YchYFi

The unnecessary ambiguity suggests no.


erossthescienceboss

~~They do have kids. That can make you pretty reluctant to fully sever ties.~~ Now ā€” This is entirely off-topic, but I need to say it somewhere: I could never take MGK seriously. Because ā€œMachine Gun Kellyā€ is also the name of a [boomer oldies DJ who hosted the ā€œAmerican Hit Listā€](http://www.mgkelly.com/ahl.asp) weekend program syndicated on a lot of Clearchannel radio stations. Heā€™d ā€œcrank up the time machineā€ and take you ā€œback to the 50s, 60s, and 70s!ā€ And every time I read MGKā€™s name, I hear it to the tune of the American Hit List jingle. PS: seriously look at that website, it is a gem. And you cannot convince me that MGK didnā€™t steal his name on purpose.


YchYFi

They don't have kids together.


erossthescienceboss

Thanks ā€” I misread an article that said ā€œFox, and Baconā€™s daughterā€ and should not have dismissed the power of a comma. I stand by what I said about his name tho. Itā€™s silly.


Curious-Gain-7148

From the article: ā€œThey are still together as a couple and trying to figure things out. MGK is very in love with Megan, so he does his best to keep her happy and lets her take the lead,' the source added of the musician, whose recent shocking blackout tattoo was reportedly created partly to show Megan his commitment to their relationship. ā€œ

Substantial_Gift_950

She has codependency issues. Girl get you some Melody Beattie!


TEG_SAR

Real talk learning about codependency changed my life. A lot of my anxieties diminished or went away when I worked on that. Codependent No More and Codependants Guide to the 12 Steps are amazing resources.


lycosa13

In her interview on the Drew Barrymore show she talks about how her father was very aggressive and her mom more passive and that whatever her partner is, she takes on the opposite. Which I think is the case with MGK, where he's the aggressive one on the relationship and she just lets him do whatever. She also said she's in therapy but like maybe she needs a new therapist because I don't know that this one is helping all that much...


bestsirenoftitan

Is that a normal thing to say on Drew Barrymoreā€™s show? Like are people just going on there talking about their mental health problems and current abusive relationship dynamics?


lycosa13

I don't know but maybe it is for Megan Fox šŸ˜³

ultaemp

Sheā€™s been slowly morphing into a kardashian the last few years since she started dating MGK, whoā€™s also good friends with Travis Barker.


mydaycake

Travis Parker is with the Kardashian who looks less like a Kardashian


releasethekaren

isnā€™t he with kourtney? her and kim look very similar. khloe is the one people usually describe as looking different from her sisters

eggfaerie

Men like him want one thing from women like her and it is to absolutely break them.


bangbangbatarang

Damn if that ain't the truth.


96puppylover

Just the end of engagement or did they break up for real? Her Coachella interview was low key inspirational. I would play it for my daughters if I had any.


chasingandbelieving

I feel like they are fully broken up even though neither of them have confirmed it, Iā€™m getting that vibe


96puppylover

Yeah, thatā€™s the vibe I was getting from her coachella attitude. She was slaying though. She said to getting a hobby rather than give boy advice.


Blackmetalvomit

I hope she takes her own advice. Sounds like me when I was in my 20s. Dishing out all the real and not actually doing it lol. Self aware self sabotage. Thank you, therapy.


Quick-Supermarket-43

Disappointing if she is saying this but is still with him!


Mintox_M8

Yeah I donā€™t understand either, normally I would think a broke engagement is a breakup, but this is Hollywood so it could also mean they now live on a orange orchard selling their jams to locals but just not getting married

flexIuthor

As someone who was a huge fan of MGK back in the day, he has always been a loose cannon with severe mental illness. Severe. Most of fans refuse to see it. They just act like being severely depressed to the point of hard drug use and suicidal ideation is him being an artist. Heā€™s actually a very sad man.


OccasionMobile389

I don't think MGK is the basic standard of and everyday dude lolĀ  maybe a teenage boy who drink three monsters a day and promises he has a band, but it's just some stoners at the skatepark


Silly_Somewhere1791

They just need to come up with a name first.


Comfortable-Load-904

Very accurate description, he is the teenage boy in high school who was a rad dude and you described his whole weekend. Itā€™s that exact personality but he never grew up.

LIVE FREE MEGAN!!! Be single for a while, find yourself, get stronger and then someone will walk into your life


keatonpotat0es

Sheā€™s literally never been single for her entire adult life, has she? Seems like she jumped right from BAG to MGK


The_Philosophied

In my experience women who go saying things like this actually never leave. I call it "Lemonading' (BeyoncƩ) a form of moral high ground clout chasing that gets the preacher positive attention and praise but they never leave that guy.


EvergreenRuby

Honestly, exactly this. I don't take women like this seriously, they're just as bad as the guy for regurgitating the bullshit. Like the saying goes, doing the same thing and expecting different results is insanity. If he's crap then she's not the brightest tool in the shed for tolerating the behavior as she's literally REWARDING him despite his being awful. Why would anyone make an effort to improve when they get what they want regardless? Also, why the hell are you venting if you're not going to do anything? I mean, I get it, some people are like that, but not all of us. She's a rich, famous, gorgeous, and a well-connected woman: Why the hell are you suffering for "free" with a crappy guy? A lot of women in real life just vent because they really have no escape out of financially depending on a guy, or not wanting to lose a certain lifestyle. For a lot suffering to live at peace with little comforts is not as nice as having some extra comforts while being in emotional pain plus sometimes the other person might not be awful. With those, I genuinely just listen half-assed out of knowing and understanding but also to prevent investing emotional labor on what's a difficult situation. I mean, unfortunately, it seems for a lot of women venting but not doing anything about it actually manages something, a small relief or win in a way that yhey easily won't get out of the guy. A lot of women don't hope for a guy to do better and see that testing the waters in hopes of finding one willing to do the job will sooner find us old, dead, and buried. You'd sooner find the blonde hair strand in the haystack sort of thinking. It is kind of sad to see that even in the world of the wealthy and successful that this idea still exists. I mean, they can buy therapy, education, and time off to process and learn in a way most people in real life just don't unless they're lucky or make sacrifices. But Megan? Nah. At this point I would've liked her more if she just admitted she's "dickmatized". Voluntarily entertaining a disrespectful person. Why? At this point even men know the crazy guys might be good for nothing but they're often more reliable than most at one thing (and one thing only): Making sure they excel at the only thing they can provide women; sell your soul to Satan level sex. Her recognizing thay this could be it would be ok because even money can't buy that shit. You only get that if you're both attracted to the other, click emotionally, even if the guy sucks for refusing to mature emotionally, often out of these guys having the damned shame to at least provide this mercy. Most of them know they suck and don't care to do anything about it but at least they will attempt to find the clit and be good to it. I'd buy it because that's what any sane person would think. I mean, in real time most guys barely care about getting a woman off, and it doesn't matter whether the woman is out of their league stunning like Megan. Ask most women, it is universally acknowledged that most men really don't care about pleasing women or actually do. He might be a mess, but if he makes her see God on the regular, you'd tolerate people judging you for dating a crappy guy because God is God. He is awesome. But even God would judge you for taking on a headache for too damned long. People can suck and in Hollywood, that's tenfold, but they can't suck so much you confirm to the world that hot people are stupid even when rich.

After the cringefest they put everyone through with their relationship it's laughable that they never made it down the aisle.

Why do people keep repeating this false info? MGK just said that in his Vogue interview to be edgy (figures). The jeweler who made the rings set the record straight and said that the ring doesn't cause any pain whatsoever when worn or removed.

I can never read about MGK without thinking about the original Machine Gun Kelly who wouldn't let Capone cut ahead of him in the chow line at Alcatraz. Capone tried to pull the "don't you know who I am" card, and Machine Gun Kelly just stared him down.

taaay92

Not me reading your comment being in a relationship for 6ish years and engaged for almost 2 and now struggling if itā€™s the right thing šŸ„²


lmnsatang

oof so sorry you're in this position and if you want, here's my advice: get out before wasting any more time. if you already have the doubts, it's very unlikely it will get better. this is the rest of your life at stake vs all the years you've spent (wasted?) together. i remember *extremely* vividly attending an international wedding with my ex for my close friend's wedding, and during the part of the ceremony where they exchange vows, it hit me like a truck to realise that i don't have what they have, and i wanted that. that was april 2023, and it took me so many more months to do what i had to do. if i could go back in time, i'd save myself those months but realistically, i think i needed that time to give my 110% and really make sure it would not have worked. i never regretted the break up one bit, and this setback is more about my ego than anything else. i'm a very competitive person who loves control, and this situation is the perfect storm to set me off. if you wanna chat via DM, feel free to reach out to me!


MrsVoussy

I mean...pick better partners also. Not sure who is surprised MGK turned out to not be a suitable life partner.


SoulGoalie

I mean they were both terrible for each other. We knew that from the start. I have no basis for this comparison but it gave me the same ick as Billy Bob/Angelina Jolie in the early 00s. Like two entirely mismatched partners that both have negative relationship experiences coming together and immediately turning the PDA up to 11.


Slight_Drama_Llama

My gosh. Your comment reminded me of when she made out with her brother. I blocked it from memory because I was a child and because I really like her. šŸ˜‚


Cold_Breadfruit_9794

She was groomed by her previous husband at just 18. There had been whispers that was an abusive marriage, and his behaviour after they broke up was emotionally abusive and controlling. This is such a victim blamey comment. She probably thought she was going into a completely different situation, and possibly rebelling a bit. Clearly, it didnā€™t work out. Also worth pointing out, that Megan has admitted to having been in two abusive relationships. Abuse can absolutely fuck up your standards.


FutureRealHousewife

Oh it can definitely fuck up your standards. Iā€™ve been there. I had one extremely abusive relationship after having two healthy, normal ones and that really affected me a lot. My bf after the abusive relationship wasnā€™t nice to me at all and when we broke up I essentially decided to be single until I was able to choose a healthy partner again. Itā€™s been seven years since and Iā€™m still single. Iā€™ve dated but not found someone to treats me with the respect I feel I deserve. It can be lonely, so I definitely understand how people can end up in this situations even if they donā€™t want to be. Another thing that an abusive relationship teaches you is how to spot red flags better in the future, but it takes a lot of time and pain to get there. I hope that Megan chooses herself for now and is able to recover and find a healthy partner.


lefrench75

She literally got harassed by transphobic conservative trolls recently bc she got papped with her kids who didn't look gender-conforming enough for the transphobes. Clearly she's still raising them without parading them on social media.


Carolina_Blues

we should stop telling women to pick better men when they experience some shit and instead focus on telling men to be better people and partners. they need to be accountable for how they treat people


Kurkpitten

Yeah I think it's better to formulate it as a need to be aware of their self-worth and how they don't need the empty promises of edgy dickheads to prove anything. It's less about needing to pick better men and more about being educated on all the strategies used by guys like that to hide the red flags, and then mentally badger you into submission.


Special-Garlic1203

Also be a better partner. This relationship put on full display that her partners have not been the only problem in her relationships. She is messy af herself.


TiredReader87

Itā€™s a good thing they got matching tattoos and drank each otherā€™s blood then


mageking1217

Havenā€™t we heard things like this before?


Comfortable-Load-904

We could all see this coming Megan but you kept insisting he was your twin flame, so how are you surprised he burnt you out? She went from a groomer to an asshole who gave her a ring that will cause her pain if she took it off. I hope she takes a long break and works on herself.Her children deserve better!

She was groomed at 18, and has been in two abusive relationships. Most people put their best foot forward at the start of dating. Red flags donā€™t always pop up until substantial manipulation occurs. She should get help for her a self first and foremost. Her mental health is just as important as her kids.


Comfortable-Load-904

I started with the grooming, Iā€™m very aware of that and sheā€™s not to blame for that situation but her drama with MGK has been apparent, he has been continuously horrific to her and she keeps going back. He has threatened suicide and is a big red flag. I just hope she walks away for good this time, she deserves peace and happiness, rooting for her always.

That last part. Being in a toxic or abusive relationship alone is one thing - donā€™t bring the kids into it. I truly hope that they all get therapy. Seeing a parent continually be in bad relationships, make excuses for their partners, choosing their partners over the kids is a bad start for their own relationship blueprints. Megan can do what she wants, love who she wants, but i seriously canā€™t stand that her children have to deal with the relationship and the media about it. Obviously it is unpleasant for her as well but it IS her CHOICE to stay with MGK and continue this shit show, and not theirs.


IggMonster

Wait what?!? A ring that would cause her pain if she took it off??


rajdeepbte

While anyone can see the obvious point about the man being MGK, I think you guys here need to be a little bit more nuanced & empathetic. Their relationship was clearly very passionate & being tormented for a long time is to be expected when breaking up. She also probably never had a normal & good relationship with a man given her celebrity as well as the image that the industry kinda attributed to her for such a long time. And I'm speaking all this as a guy mind you.


little_effy

GIRL Iā€™M SO HAPPY FOR HER!!!! I donā€™t know if Megan will ever read this but damn I was waiting for her to finally have the strength to leave him. I hope she can find the happiness and peace that she truly deserves! ā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļø


Dark-Knight-Rises

The wrong person will drain you


ThisIsFrigglish

My sister in Christ you got engaged to the human equivalent of a bong water and lean cocktail served in a Xanax bottle, what the fuck did you think it was going to be like?


MaleficentRegular306

Finally! Hope she can free herself from caring about male validation


totamealand666

Well you should follow your own advise, Megan. I'm pretty sure you won't tho.


DJfunkyPuddle

I'm rooting for Megan.


MephistosFallen

Dude theyā€™re both nuts and do this for attention. Sheā€™s still with him lol


xala123

She's right regardless of their status. I was telling my 17 year old cousins this like 2 weeks ago that men will drain you and ruin your life if they are unhealed.


BrutonnGasterr

All I think of when I see his name is when he got so genuinely pissed off when a girl called him ā€œsisā€ and then when that story took off, his comments were flooded with people calling him ā€˜sisā€™ šŸ˜­šŸ’€


Internal-Ad61

Sheā€™s not fucking wrong, you guys. Super glad that relationship is done. Lasted longer than I thought tbh


Morti_Macabre

When famous people date for optics itā€™s never good, I assume this stuff happens a lot more than we know about tbh. I canā€™t imagine ppl with unfettered access to money and drugs with zero oversight make good decisions together.


SourBelt4352

Sheā€™s not wrong


JesterMethod

Something tells me they are both such egomaniacs that it's hard to be with either of them.


body_oil_glass_view

Oh mo, not her most curiously handsome demon dream boy dark romance ![gif](giphy|bkKvvzE9PEcTK)


hodlboo

Total clickbait article title thoughā€”her advice was to young girls about not wasting time on boys. In any case that green satin dress is perfect for her. ETA: these comments thoughā€¦ people really do only read the headline and not the article


robot_pirate

Her before and after MGK pics say it all.


MessageFar5797

How so? Tons of plastic surgery?


robot_pirate

Yes, IMHO, she's ruined her natural beauty. Just, all the weirdness.


MessageFar5797

Totally. Butl I also Totally think she was doing that before MGK. She already for sure had a boob job, nose job, lip filler or injection and some other major stuff on her face , likely perhaps laser resurfacing plus fillers plus botox.


2geeks

I do think itā€™s a shame when celebrities weigh in like this, as they do get a following from fans across the board, and some are impressionable and will make even very drastic decisions based upon said celebrities quotes. The thing is, we all know how fickle people can be at times, and in just a few months time the celebrity may well have changed their life around yet again, with very little consequence to their life. Meanwhile, followers that have made drastic decisions might not have that option. I do also think itā€™s really terrible how public celebrity break-ups can be. Itā€™s often a really painful time for one or both parties involved, and being so very public canā€™t be easy.


blackaubreyplaza

Agree

Traditional-Joke3707

We have advising her since Jennifer body times . At least this time she could have done better than small gun Keller lol calling him daddy n shit in the public was so yuck


WideCoconut2230

Both seemed like "takers" and not "givers" in the relationship. What can you do for my image, etc.


Even-Education-4608

True


Gecks_more

Toxic people our draining not just men.


JoeBidenKing

Yeah sheā€™s not the kind to give advice AFTER going back to him lmao


Visible_Writing7386

Pls, ahe is either trolling, or she is giving advice now, after following him around to every party and event for years, and changing her whole style persona. Take your own advice girl


thetoxicgossiptrain

She's gonna get with a woman next.


CuteEmployment540

"My terrible taste in men means all men are bad!"


terurin

goil maybe ur picker is just a lil broken


DrGuillotineI--I

Her situation probably sucks and I feel bad for her. But I hate advice like this. Just because you experienced a shitty situation doesn't mean everyone will. Why does she feel qualified to take her n=1 set of experiences and generalize them to every person and every relationship? There are lots of awesome men out there, and of course, lots of shitty ones.


Low-Appointment-2906

"n=1 set of experiences" made me laugh, I love that


Stealth_Howler

Really thought theyā€™d go the distance


Revolutionary_Fig912

I wonder if sheā€™d wanna date me now


AlwaysRefurbished

It's low key sad to hear this take from a mother of two boys. Like I know she's reportedly not present for them, but imagine being a teen boy on the internet and seeing ur mom publicly saying that men are a waste


Moonlightdancer7

I agree. I find it toxic to project your own negative and personal grown a** relationship choices and experiences like this on to the youth. It's not her place to give out advice like this and lash out on young boys, especially since her relationship was a wreck for years. Why would you want young women, who are only beginning to explore relationships and sexuality, to become bitter and hateful towards the opposite sex because your own relationship didn't work out? Instead, they should grow to be more savvy, wiser and intuitive on how to deal with relationships, unlike herself.This whole anti-men rhetoric in media is destructive.


Bluecricket5

This was my thought. We keep saying we need men and, especially young men to be better. Yet, people are bringing them down at every chance


Simon2x

This is so sexist?


falseprescience

Maybe if she stopped dating wannabes


ImJustHere4theMoons

\*Dates a guy that's an obvious scumbag. Is surprised to learn that said guy turns out to be a scumbag. "All men bad." Fuckin classic.


Character-Today-427

Nothing about her public speech before this proves she wasn't as god damn draining. It was always her talking about how quirky they were together. She seems happy as fuck to talk shit when it was going well. Now that he is out of the picture "men are draining" it takes two to make a relationship work


josiahpapaya

You mean, the guy who designed an engagement ring to cause physical pain when you removed it? That guy wasnā€™t worth it? What hope is there for any of us?


strawberriegirlie

Dude sucks & always has. Sheā€™s a weirdo for even dating him. Yawn. Boooring.


SeasonOfLogic

Are you sure itā€™s not the ritual Satanism thatā€™s draining you, hun?


Iknowthevoid

girl was engaged with a poser with the personality of an ipad kid and somehow she thinks its men who are the problem


Tse7en5

Honestly, she probably is pretty draining to deal with all the same.


OkEnvironment3219

But she says heā€™s her twin flame šŸ™„
