Naturally, the BPD girlbosses of /r/popculturechat are celebrating this.
Celeb Divorce Lawyer Links 'Barbie,' Beyoncé and Taylor Swift Tours to Uptick in Breakups
"They're feeling their power by going to see 'Barbie' and Taylor and Beyoncé. And they're like, 'I don't need this,' " said attorney Laura Wasser
The blockbuster Barbie movie and world tours from Taylor Swift and Beyoncé might be inspiring an uptick in divorces, according to a divorce attorney to the stars.
Laura Wasser — whose A-list celebrity clients include Ariana Grande, Kevin Costner and Britney Spears, to name a few — told Cosmopolitan she thinks those pop culture behemoths could be linked to many recent breakups.
The ongoing writers' and actors' strikes have also played a part, she said.
Celebrity Couples Who Broke Up in 2023
"Something going on with a lot of my clients and what I'm seeing here in Southern California is that we're in the middle of one of the worst strikes in history for the writers and the actors," said Wasser, 55. "So you've also got people who have more time on their hands."
"They're angry about our reproductive rights getting rolled back, they're feeling their power by going to see Barbie and Taylor and Beyoncé," she continued.
"And they're like, 'I don't need this. I'm the one making this money and I'm not comfortable, not working, and have this spouse who's either also not working or never was working.' "
Wasser added, "A lot of people have said, 'I'm out.' So it's compounded by what's going on here economically."
According to Forbes Advisor, about 7 in 10 heterosexual divorces are initiated by the woman. A viral article in August compiled by Huffington Post showed Barbie viewers claiming they broke up with their boyfriends after seeing the movie.
Swift, 33, is bringing her Eras Tour concert film to movie theaters next month, and Beyoncé, 42, continues to perform her Renaissance World Tour to fans far and wide.
After becoming the highest-grossing movie of the year with over $1 billion at the global box office, Barbie is now dominating the streaming charts at home.
The film stars Margot Robbie, who produced the film with her husband Tom Ackerley, and it's directed by Greta Gerwig, who co-wrote it with her partner Noah Baumbach.
Wasser represented Baumbach's now-ex-wife Jennifer Jason Leigh in their divorce — and the attorney is believed to be the basis for Laura Dern's Oscar-winning performance as a divorce lawyer in Baumbach's 2019 movie Marriage Story. Some of Dern's scenes were filmed at Wasser's offices.
In her Cosmopolitan interview, Wasser shared her advice for people going through divorce.
"I think you really have to embrace the fact that this is the next chapter. This is not a sad death," she said. "This is the first day of the rest of your life, and you are going to be stronger as a result of coming through this. It's definitely a challenge, but it's a challenge filled with promise."

Foid fricks a guy for 2 years, feels used, gets back at the dude by paying him to come fix her broken kitchen light. Then she gloats.
"Hahahaha! Now I have my revenge for letting this guy have s*x with me for years! I catered to him and tried to prove I would be a good girlfriend and just kept having s*x with him for nothing in return! Then he said he loved me to get me to continue having s*x with him! I have waited years for this, years, I will frick this piece of shit over! I will make him perform a simple task that he's trained to perform and make him drive hours to do so! Look! That fool brought his cooler in like he was going to stay the night! I have ruined him! I must tell Reddit!"
"Well, I fixed that light and didn't get laid, but I got some money. Maybe I can pay to fix this darn cooler I had to bring inside because it won't keep my lunch cold. Hey, might as well eat this extra sandwich I didn't get to from lunch on the way home. Nice."

Alternate title: Women have each other's backs
For US resident, particularly women who have a secret device hidden from an abusive partner/family member, be aware of a national emergency alert test scheduled for October 4th at approximately 2:20pm EST.
Protect yourself and learn how to silence your device ahead of the test. You can read more in the article attached.
All the cheating husbands running off grabbing their secret phones...
Yes. But less life-threatening.
I don't think men realize being a woman is like walking through a lion's den with a steak tied to your neck. We're surrounded by predators.
scrotes smh
No one said that… conservatives fighting their imaginary enemies again
Men cheat far more than women. And generally women are simply looking for something missing in their relationship. Men cheat because they're literal animals and can't think beyond their front zipper.
a woman cheating is not the same as a scrote cheating
It takes 2 to tango. Unless you're saying men are cheating on their SO with another dude, then i guess you would be right
That equation only works if both are married. If the man is married and screwing his junior account executive who is single then who is the cheater?
Him. Stop 👏 blaming 👏 women 👏 for 👏 your 👏 bad 👏 decisions.
We're not sirens causing otherwise peaceful and pleasant husbands to drop trow and screw around.
preach sister
someone dares break the circlejerk
Wouldn't it be easier to learn how to read?
Read the room.

I (f26) have been dating this guy
(m25, German from a small village) for 8 months now. He's amazing and I truly love him. I have had my fair share of shitty partners but he's totally different.
However! I have been noticing
that he says some really racist stuff. Now, I'm not the kind of person who throws the word racism at every opportunity, so this is big.
He ALWAYS has a bad thing to say about arab immigrants, he always makes the assumption that these people don't work and just leech of the government.
Looks like someone doesn't like kebab
He praises colonialism and tells me it's the reason why these “shit hole countries
” have been modernized, and if they were left alone without the Europeans, they would have still been inhabitable deserts, so there must be a “reason” why Europeans could achieve all this greatness while other ethnicities couldn't.
Germs are quite behind on the colonialism game compared to most Europoor (especially ) countries.
We cooked a traditional dish from my country and he said that I shouldn't be taking any pride in that because it was invented by the British, and if not for them, we would have still been eating rotten fish! (Fermented fish is another traditional dish that we have).
Said by the people who eat Mett (raw pork)
He also says that the reason why black people were so happy about the movie Wakanda
was because they wanted to see themselves “finally achieving something”,
Really?
Black users please explain
he's also 100% against immigration and tells me that he doesn't want to see these people here, and when I ask him what if these people integrate, he responds that this is like asking what if water doesn't make you wet.
Expats that only speak English but not local language exists everywhere.
I told him about some very obvious racist situations and he still tried to justify these situations, saying that I'm just overreacting and that this wasn't racism.
no No NO I AM NOT A CHUD
What's really weird is that he isn't even a “pure German”, his own mother is an immigrant and he's half Jewish! And due to his Jewish parent, he always gets mistaken for spanish/Italian, not only that, but his own gf (me) is Arab, an immigrant, brown, Jewish and is originally from one of these “shit hole countries”.
Max Naumann moment
EDIT: okay, I'm stupid, very stupid, I admit that. You're all right.
To answer some questions:
yes I am both Arab and Jewish
no his hatred to Arabs isn't because he's Jewish, it's because they “destroyed his country”
Yes he knows that I am an Arab
Yes I know that I am an idiot, I was just gaslamping myself and telling myself that I was just overthinking, thank you all for opening my eyes.
Chuds not going for non-white womyn challenge (impossible!)
Not going through the comment this time since it's just redditisms.

Saavedra, according to court documents, turned 36 on Sept. 11, three days following his arrest. Court documents listed a number of prior arrests and convictions for Saavedra, but those entries were redacted from the court documents we received.
In court documents, Saavedra is listed as a transient.
Court documents state that Phoenix Police officers responded to a residential neighborhood near 75th Avenue and Camelback Road for a burglary in progress call at around 10:05 p.m.
When officers arrived at around 10:13 p.m., they contacted a man in front of a home, later identified as Saavedra.
"As officers approached this male, they observed him to be suffering from apparent gun shot wounds to his abdomen and right arm," read a portion of the court documents.
Eventually, officers made contact with an alleged victim, who told officers she had received a motion notification on her security system, and then saw Saavedra on her security camera walking around the front of her home.
"The victim stated she exited her residence and gave the defendant several commands to leave the area or he was at risk of being shot, in an attempt to scare him away from the residences front yard area," read a portion of the court documents. "The victim stated she then ran back inside of her residence, instructing one of her children to close and lock the door behind her. The victim stated as she entered her residence, she began calling police and went to retrieve a firearm in order to protect herself, her husband and five children located inside."
The alleged victim, according to police, later heard Saavedra bang on a carport door. After she told her children to move away from the area and hide as far away as possible, she heard the glass windowpane of the carport door shatter, and Saavedra's hand reaching inside.
"The victim stated as she stood with the firearm, she observed the defendants hand came through the now open and broken window, and reached for the doors doorknob in an attempt to open the door,' read a portion of the statement. "The victim stated at this point her 13-year-old son, seeing that the defendant was attempting to make entry and his mother was not firing the firearm, in fear for the safety of himself and family, took the firearm from his mother and fired the firearm towards the defendant, striking him."
Saavedra, according to investigators, was later taken to the hospital for treatment of his injuries, and was eventually released into police custody.
What led to the incident taking place?
In an interview that was done after Saavedra was read his Miranda rights, court documents state that detectives asked Saavedra on why he tried to get into the home. Saavedra replied that he had been smoking methamphetamine with a friend for about 48 hours prior to the incident, and that he was trying to locate his friend in various residential yards.
"The defendant stated upon approaching the victim's residence he heard her inform him to leave the area. The defendant stated he then approached the carport door of the residence, and believed it to be his son, despite knowing the residence did not belong to him," read a portion of the court documents.
When asked by police if he knew his actions could scare the people inside the home, court documents say Saavedra replied, "Yeah, I mean I was high obviously."

no drama, just weirdos
I can't tell if this is a butch lesbian with peepee envy who was brainwormed enough to get an actual phalloplasty or a with a very specific coom fantasy.
The history suggests the latter, but I'm not sure.
judge for yourself:
https://old.reddit.com/user/MaryRoseDarling/submitted
which one is it?
OP's post:
It might sounds super weird but I'm a girl who always wanted a peepee despite enjoying being a girl.. Since as young as I remember I just always wanted to have one. I like girls so I guess I'm a lesbian? But I've always wanted PIV s*x as the one owning the peepee. It just feels right for me. And doesn't make me feel less feminine cause I'm petite and girly. It's just that I wonder if there really are people open to this out there... That's why I'm asking if anyone of you would date someone like me. (If you say yes I won't harrass you by messages or anything like that. Don't worry. I'm only asking because I just hope that I somehow also have a place in this world..)
the real weirdos are in the comments (as usual)
I'm an ace lesbian, so this probably isn't too helpful, since s*x generally doesn't seem super appealing to me, but I'll admit a girl with a peepee def sounds way more appealing than a guy with a peepee!
Right?!
It seems like the best of both worlds there.
As a bisexual I would, it's like having a warm strap on but still having warm pillow puffs to play with and all the other things I love about dating women
Thank you very much for your answer, it makes me feel a little better about myself 🥰
As someone who's pansexual, I wouldn't say no to an AFAB with a functional peepee. At least it would be interesting lol.
I have peepee envy for sure. I am straightish? I love pegging guys.

38M husband has got freebase 3 times in less than 2 weeks. I 38F am at a loss
Update- he is now getting it again 3rd time in a week and a half. I'm about to just file for divorce. I'm sick and tired of this shit.
My 38F husband 38M is getting base or as I know it crack. He has been acting weird last few days. Finally comes out and says that a guy that sold him drugs a few years ago texted him and said he could hook him up. My husband told me this today. He used do this shit years back and he almost cheated on me. He gets “super sexual” as he puts it. A few years back he met with escorts to get drugs. After that didn't pan out he somehow got this guys number and started buying from him. Anyway. I am completely blindsided by this. I told him that this is a hard pass and I don't want him to get it. I said he will lose me if he does it. He said “I'm just trying to have fun with you” now I don't do drugs unless it's like smoking a joint which I do like maybe once every 2 years but nothing like coke or base/crack. I still haven't fully gotten over the fact that he met escorts to get the shit last time and lied to me and it really was a horrible time. I know I'll probably get shit for asking but I reacted by crying and basically telling him he doesn't give a shit about me or my feelings. Did I overreact? He hasn't done this in years and I'm so triggered that this is happening again. The last time he tried to get on tinder as well. He is also recently sober from alcohol about three months. Says this isn't about hurting me when I told him clearly this will hurt me. Honestly I feel like he just cares about his own wants and doesn't give two shits about my feelings.
update He got it and now is planning to get more this weekend. He told me “I should just deal with it because he doesn't want to lose me” Maybe at this point I don't deserve anything better and should just resign to the fact he's going to do whatever he wants regardless of how much it hurts.

Men don't make sense. It's ridiculous. I don't even think men really like women.
Many women do similar things. Flings with guys they know aren't good for them, but settle down with a man who is marriage and father material.
Ok… this isn't talking about women
least fragile reddit foid
this smells like
Your looks aren't determined by your sexual activity.
Pornstars either have naturally good bodies or have worked on them, usually a combination of both. And that work is usually eating right and working out, you don't get more attractive by being fricked.
Men want to be reserved with their partner in public and get wild in the bedroom. When I'm in a bedroom mood, I may think about watching porn. When I'm not, I'm fantasising about the cute girl I saw in a bookshop or I see a young couple with a kid and I'm daydreaming about when I'm a father and husband.
OP And most men want women with good bodies, so I believe you guys do like the look of pornstars.
100% a fattie
Women also desire guys with good bodies. Porn didn't invent that.
Make a post about it. I'm talking about men.
absolutely seething
totally not a therapist is search of clients
This thread just made me hate men. You guys are hypocrites and losers
this thread is why i laugh at the male suicide rate
house edgy member
You are a psycho
of course you're not gonna say this to the males being objectifying, misogynistic degenerates in these comments. i've read comments from males IN THIS THREAD saying that "whores need to know their place in the world" and "should learn to drop to their knees if a man says so" so yeah i'll continue laughing my pyscho butt off
Go outside and get help. You're hurt.
OP Stating an opinion means she needs help and she's hurt? Who hurt her since you know.
OP quickly jumping to the defense of her fellow hoes
OP Make a post about that if it upsets you. This is a different topic.
after not receiving an echo chamber response, the fat foid runs to the twoX hugbox
I never understood this myself. Having dated OF models and the odd lapdancer in the past, I always just viewed it as "it's their chosen job and deserves the same respect as the any other job because at least they working for their money".
please ladies, just a crumb of coochie
this is just "alpha fux, beta bux" foid edition
Is that American thing? I wouldn't even think about relationship with a woman who were virgin, "pure" or not sexually active.
rent free
isn't that just a commited relationship, aka the majority of relationships?
so all women are whores?
and others.

In 2006 I refused to have sex with Russell Brand. I was in his London flat. There was a lot of heavy petting and we were both down to our pants. He didn’t pressure me when I said no. He wasn’t angry or abusive. Everything that happened was consensual. I stayed the night in his…

Context: Rupi Kaur is a "poet" that generates mountains of seethe by doing the absolute least amount of work possible to pass herself off as an artist. She's the one with the shitty sketch drawings of shock content and incredibly lazy poems that dont mean anything.
Her entire career is based firmly in farming sneed off of people who say she isnt a poet.
I see a LOT of you guys embarrassed for reading Rupi or outraged at her for her writing, seriously just don't send her hate, I don't want a mob, I am just not a fan of her writing, and as for the people who keep saying my opinion/stance is irrelevant, I know that already but I put it out there anyway (like how writers are allowed to have a voice so am I), and this is my opinion, she does not deserve ANY hate but I am not a fan, nothing more, nothing less.
my entire post history is what
i post
and bait
i am a curry leaf in wind
