The Dishmaster

If the goal of ‘I Am Cait,” was to teach me something, then they’ve succeeded. For starters, I’ve learned that both Bruce Jenner and Caitlyn Jenner are astounding, insensitive assholes. I’ve learned this over time, but most notably when Kris Jenner visited her ex-husband for a heart-to-heart and attempted to explain her hurt feelings. She said she objected to Jenner’s Vanity Fair article in which she claimed to have been mistreated, with Kris reminding Jenner that she took care of her for decades. Jenner was unkind in response, insisting that she’s playing the martyr, in addition to acting as if it’s completely shocking that anyone in the family would have difficulty with her transition. The woman was married to a MAN for decades, who later decided to divorce her and live an authentic life as a woman. Though that’s wonderful and brave and certainly worth celebrating, it also warrants a little sensitivity to the woman he left behind. But sensitivity is foreign to Caitlyn Jenner.

  Serena Williams has a reputation for a rather prickly disposition, but who cares? Do we focus on a man’s cantankerous temperament, and ask HIM why HE isn’t smiling? When asked by a reporter why she isn’t more jovial, Williams went for a harsh truth, saying, “To be perfectly honest with you, I don’t want to be here. I just want to be in bed right now and I have to wake up early to practice. And I don’t want to answer any of these questions. You guys keep asking me the same questions… You’re not making it super enjoyable. Just being honest.” See below for her kick-ass response.

  Damon Wayans defended Bill Cosby, calling his accusers “unrapable,” and implying that they were likely lying in their accusations. He also questioned how they could be raped more than once, in addition to asking why anyone in their right mind would rape an unconscious woman. Moreover, he asked why a woman would take a Quaalude from a man that isn’t a doctor, thereby attaching some responsibility to the horrific act. Aside from the obvious objection to those statements, after watching the interview in full, it’s clear that Damon is a malcontent who isn’t happy with the success of others. Watch below

If you’re going to throw stones in a lake, don’t be surprised when the ripples splash you in the face. Pink took to instagram to diss the Video Music Awards, saying, “I felt sad because music is supposed to inspire. It saved my life. This trash won’t save any kids life. In a world that is even scarier and with lives still worth saving, who will stand up and have soul? Disenfranchised to say the least.” She then highlighted the only performances she liked, noticeably leaving out stars like Demi Lovato, who didn’t take kindly to the call-out, saying, “Cool For The Summer may not “save kid’s lives” or “inspire” but I’d say Skyscraper & Warrior have done a pretty good job of helping people.” Pink then clarified saying she has no issues with Lovato and, she “didn’t intend for the angry people of the world to latch on and make it into something it isn’t. Peace.”

Much like Nicki Minaj, Pink’s general criticism landed on a less-than-thrilled pop star who directly responded. It’s 100% percent fine to speak your mind, but be prepared for a reply, and don’t accuse the world of going negative when your original comment was predicated on negativity. As for the VMAs, certainly those performances were largely sub-par, but just because there’s no inspirational, on-stage snake or sub-par aerial choreography, doesn’t mean it failed. Also, no one cares about the VMAs, and no one has ever pretended that it’s supposed to celebrate true art or save lives.
