I don't see how he couldn't have. It was very well published at the time. Every news channel ran stories about it for weeks. It was the biggest "current event" event of the summer. |

But after the fact? I don't remember the entire thing and maybe he should come out and say why that's where his money went but at the time when the money was going to those camps he may not have known that's where it was going or didn't understand how insulting it was which I agree it is. Some people are just dumb and too trusting and some yes too religious (no offense) we still need to think for ourselves and religion sometimes makes it easy for some to not think at all. (again no offense to those who are 'religious'). |

This is what is wrong with social media and also what is wrong with society if you ask me. We seem to only ever focus on the negative and the negative spin to things and we are so extremely hypocritical as to whom we bash and whom we don't based on the issues we support or do not support . Trust me, if you were to go and look into nearly each and every big charitable organization around the world you would be shocked by just what the money that you are donating goes for and how it some of it has nothing to do with the actual cause you donated for. I will use the American Cancer Society as an example (because I am a big supporter of them), some of the money goes to support political campaigns and other social issues that I am not interested in supporting. Another example is planned parenthood, when I was a young girl I donated to them, I didn't honestly have a clue what I was donating to, because sensibly I thought that they helped plan and aid young families thru parenthood issues. Now they do actually do some of that, but there are many other things they do. Everyone Republican or Democratic, would be shocked many of the organizations that your donations goto on either side of aisle that truly are hateful and harmful organizations to support, on both sides of the argument. |

Let's say the owner didn't know where his donations were going. By the time MR decided to wade into the debate, the truth had come out. She knew why people were boycotting and she still decided to throw in with the homophobes. Perhaps she had non-homophobic reasons for doing so, but just as she chose to publicly join that cause, she could've publicly distanced herself from it once she realized what she'd gotten herself into, but she didn't. She went on a blocking spree, then she deleted her account. Which is why she has no one to blame but herself if people still think she's homophobic. Everyone makes mistakes, but everyone also knows that you don't make things right by refusing to listen to criticism and hiding until everything blows over. |

Melissa deserved to be called out for her tweet. It was obvious that she was very well aware of the controversy and she seemed very happy and proud of tweeting that she supported their business still. It's not like she just decided to go eat there and someone posted a picture of her, she wanted people to know that she couldn't care less about the cause that people were defending by asking to boycott them. In my opinion, the tweet was homophobic and defending the tweet is homophobic. But I know some people would disagree with that. Now, I have no problem with people defending her character and I agree that someone's character should never be defined by just one bad action. And too often, that's what happens in this day of social media, everyone focuses on the worse thing. I don't know Melissa but she seems like a very sweet person, I like her even if I'm disappointed by that tweet. I hope she changed her mind in 5 years. |

Regarding the Missy Reeves situation we've been discussing here ... Missy's tweet was intentional. There was a news report about Chik-fil-A's CEO's statement against gay marriage, and people were upset about this. His exact words were: From July 19, 2012: A quote from Dan Cathy, CEO: "I think we're inviting God's judgment on our nation when we shake our fist at Him and say 'We know better than you what constitutes a marriage'." video: Spoiler: click to toggle This sparked some protests. In response to the protesters, politician Mike Huckabee called for a national show of support, by eating at Chik-fil-A on August 1, 2012. Huckabee said: "I have been incensed at the vitriolic assaults on the Chick Fil-A company because the CEO, Dan Cathy, made comments recently in which he affirmed his view that the Biblical view of marriage should be upheld. The Cathy family, led by Chick Fil-A founder Truett Cathy, are a wonderful Christian family who are committed to operating the company with Biblical principles and whose story is the true American success story."..."The goal is simple: Let's affirm a business that operates on Christian principles and whose executives are willing to take a stand for the Godly values we espouse by simply showing up and eating at Chick Fil-A on Wednesday, August 1." That is a quote from Huckabee's facebook event post here: https://www.facebook.com/events/266281243473841/ And then see Missy's tweet, from the day that Huckabee called people to do this, August 1, 2012: Missy tweeted these words: "Chick-fil-a today!!!! Loved every bite of it;)!! Land of the free and home of the brave. Love that we all appreciate free speech, right?" Missy's tweet was posted here at DR that day: http://daytimeroyaltyonline.com/single/?p=8819034&t=8718618 She was one of thousands who participated that day. video: Spoiler: click to toggle Missy knew exactly what she was tweeting about. It was clearly intentional. A report from TVGuide: Greg Rikaart said he tried to reach out to Missy, but she blocked him on twitter. http://daytimeroyaltyonline.com/single/?p=8834414&t=8725204 Missy later deleted her entire twitter account and was off twitter for more than a year. ------------ edit to correct date: The CEO made that statement on June 12, 2012 on a radio show. The full text of the quote is archived from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution newspaper website here: https://web.archive.org/web/20120801030600/http://www.ajc.com/business/what-dan-cathy-said-1484986.html Edited by nananana7, Oct 27 2017, 03:35 AM.

Yes, it's been five years since that happened, and I hope Missy is more open-minded now. Edited by nananana7, Oct 26 2017, 09:43 AM.

A lot of people, especially in the areas like where Missy lives, were very ignorant about what was happening and truly believed it was about free speech. That’s what a lot of churches were telling people in the area I lived at the time. She handled things horribly, but I have no trouble believing she stupidly believed it was about free speech because I know many just like her who also thought that. |

Really because I have heard stories that have shocked me to find out what goes on behind the scenes. And then I realized we are talking hollywood here. People are going to try and do anything to promote their 'interests.' And smearing MR for some random, and I think pretty innocent tweet is just too easy a target. IMO.

This was five years ago and the backlash didn’t start with other actors. She’s still there. |

I'm not saying actors. I think there are agencies involved that would be glad to knock out MR for their clients. The actors probably have nothing to do with it. And I'm not saying that's what's happening here but for pete sakes a lot of good talk is going on about Jeneric and here we are again hashing all this? Bc some perceived idea that so and so doesn't want to work with so and so??!! |

I was already dreading Eve, but linking her to Deimos makes it a million times worse. He’s been dead since June and we still cant get rid of him. |

It comes up in conversation occasionally. I don’t think it’s any more of a conspiracy than Sonny and Jennifer not sharing scenes is. |
