Sophie Turner Smear Campaign + Ashton Kutcher/Mila Kunis Character Letters

⚡️ Fangirl Nonsense: Olivia Rodrigno’s sophomore album Guts is out and there’s even more speculation about feuds with Taylor Swift. Meanwhile, Timothee Chalamet and Kylie Jenner take their relationship public by making out at Beyonce’s concert. 

⚡ After last week’s announcement of Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner’s divorce, fans are calling out the narrative around the divorce that is painting Sophie as an unfit mother. In the midst of Barbie summer when women are more aware than ever of age-gap relationships and blatant misogyny, this divorce storyline has missed the mark. 

⚡ Danny Masterson, famously known as Hide from That 70s show, was sentenced to 30 years to life in prison following the conviction of two counts of rape. The internet was ablaze after Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis’s character letters became public record. Netizens ask how these celebrities could support a convicted rapist, especially while Ahston runs an anti-trafficking organization. We explore the purpose of character letters, the cognitive dissonance we experience as viewers, the out-of-touch nature of celebrities, and how all of this relates to our perception of cancel culture.
