I feel bad for her, honestly. She was open about her sexuality and she's conventionally attractive, so now she has all these leering old men on TV slobbering all over her.

Bill Maher practically tried to talk her into bed on his show with his creepy shit about mentoring her.

Oof. What is up with these creepy, sweaty dudes on talkshows? I know they somewhat reflect the general populace, but to pull shit like this on air is just boggling.

They don't reflect the "general populace" it's just that you kinda have to be an asshole to become famous or you become an asshole afterwards.

You know, you're the first person I've seen that's shared the same view as me (not that I've spoken about the topic much! lol)

Woman admits that she has performed an extremely benign sexual act before - ghasp! A girl has given someone a blowjob before!

And more than that, she has a "dumb" accent! Let's make endless memes about her online basically calling her a slutty moron whose only life skill is sucking cock.

Honestly no wonder women feel pressured to pretend they have no sexual desires

Honestly, I never understand why people like this get the level of fame that they do, but at least stop creeping on the poor lady.

Okay so I haven’t heard about her before this but, from this thread and a quick google search, I feel like I know enough. Anyway. I’m hopeful then that the fame will pass— lots of internet fad celebrities fade and become more or less normal people again soon— but she pockets enough money to live a good life and keep paying it forward.
