Future Lovers 6,439 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 (edited) This really pissed me off. Imagine looking at someone trying to clean their life up—and doing a damn good job of it—and holding their abuse issues over their heads like this. This man has been working hard to stay sober. He’s doing it for himself and for his family. He’s been putting the time and effort, professionally and personally, and they’re reducing him down to a “bad boy former addict” Instead of talking about him like that they could talk about how he has gotten sober and is the lead in acclaimed tv show he is winning awards for, or how he got Oscar buzz for a movie he was just in, or how he’s showing his kids that its possible to get yourself back and track and that past mistakes don’t define you forever. Getting sober is one of the hardest things someone can do. Making the conscious choice every day to say no is a hill that so many people have found it impossible to climb, and for those that are on that climb this is such a slap in the face. It's a nasty and irresponsible framing of someone who is trying to not have their life defined by that darkness of their past, and yet that darkness is front and center. **** all gossip media but EPSECIALLY **** the Daily Mail. They're getting eaten up in the comments and rightfully so. Edited January 19 by Future Lovers 1 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Levine 22,386 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Vile and digusting and here I thought that italian media were the garbagest of the world. That post got almost 5M views, so they got what they wanted. But the good side is that the people are siding with Jeremy Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronco 5,738 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 The Daily Heil is ****ing horrific as per. What makes it worse is the amount of alcoholics & addicts they have working for them literally making money off exploiting people for being alcoholics & addicts. It's the worst kind of hypocrisy. God forbid we look at someone who actually puts the effort into getting & staying sober for their kids and say well done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
