- Hello and welcome to your Tuesday edition

of Thunder of I Am Your Host,

β€œMaureen Colleanne with yet another packed show.”

We are heading straight to Paris Fashion Week. We're none other than Platonic, life partners, Oprah and Gale have been spotted swanning around like the assholes they are and we're going to give you evidence.

Again, as your cultural criminal prosecutor, all I do is submit evidence. I leave it to you, the troublemakers, to come up with the verdict. They're there with none other than in my opinion,

the soulless Amy Griffin, the quote unquote memoir is to is now being sued for the contents of her quote unquote memoir about being sexually assaulted air quotes mine as a child violently.

I'm just gonna say the nerve was the very first

and we're still a baby show. We're only 10 months old. We were the first ones to come out and say there's something wrong with this memoir and it feels like there's something very wrong with this woman

and last Thursday, a lawsuit was filed. I believe in LA County Court. And these two assholes, Oprah and Gale are swanning around with this woman who looks like she is not a care in the world

and we are prosecuting all three of them. Okay, if we have our way, they are wood shipper, wood shipper by the end of 2026 and then they're going to the burn pile, okay? Now, also in Paris, none other than Anna Winter

or we told you she was not going any fucking where along with her quote unquote successor, Chloe Mal. And it's bad, okay? It's a crime scene, what's going on and then we've got Nicole Kidman

and Keith Urban Stauder, Sunday Rose,

who has just landed herself her first major

fashion magazine cover and we're taking that to the wood shed to, okay, we're pulping it. Do you guys want to know something? We have so much good stuff planned for the Oscars live stream.

Stuff that we were kind of like, if we're not going to get, let's say, if we're not going to get a full-on green light, we're going to, it's better to ask forgiveness than permission. Know what I'm saying?

Then we've got an update on what's really going on over the today's show, okay? Because there's a lot of very sunny reportage coming out of the today's show about Savannah's visit and how she was wholly embraced by her colleagues

who have been grieving with her, not so, okay? And I've got specifics, ugly, disgusting specifics

β€œthat I think once Savannah hears this stuff,”

she's going to go score a shirt. She's going to go score a shirt. So watch your fucking back, Hoda. And then later in the show, a lot of you guys were emailing and DMing me over the weekend.

Like, really, really, like, are you going to talk about Darrell Hannah's op-ed in the New York Times, calling out Ryan Murphy for his character's assassination for her in love story, you bet we are. Why else does the nerve exist?

We're going to do it only as the nerve can, okay? Trouble makers, are you ready? Are you ready? Let's go. The old adage you are, what you feel is even trueer

These platonic life partners are just giving the energy that Stedman is indeed dead. Like, they don't give a flying app. They are having the time of their lives, Oprah and Gale.

Gale, newly signed to CBS and trust me.

We're gonna talk to Rob Schuter on the nerve at night about this if we have time, we have a ton of celebrity stories we've got to get through with Rob. But they're back in Paris at Paris Fashion Week

β€œand they're there with someone who I believe is a spiritual,”

psychological, emotional creatinine. I believe this person is a moral. I believe this person is about to cut or really her husband is about to cut a very large check

to settle this lawsuit that has finally been brought

against her. I speak of Amy Griffin, author of the quote unquote memoir. The ostensible alleged reported memoir. The towel will get into it. We'll be covering this story, this Amy Griffin story quite a bit.

But first, we're gonna get to Oprah at the Celine show with her ozempic body freaking out the bulk of the Western world. This woman, we're gonna take a look at her right now. She does not look like Oprah. This woman, she's, this is way too thin, way too thin.

Her head looks even more enormous than usual. She's got her hair pulled back in this braid.

It's like the quote unquote, "croyed in facelift."

Although I do think that she and Gail have both had matching facelifts. Their faces are way too tight for women in their 70s. I believe Gail is in her 70s as well. And it's gone too far.

β€œAnd I think that Oprah is just gonna keep taking the jab”

until she all but disappears. And what's truly remarkable about this is that Oprah, you know, not too long ago did this ABC news special in which she was castigating America for making us feel like shit. For us making her feel like shit about herself when she was fat.

And if you could see one thing in this video and these photos is that Oprah is on cloud nine. She is living in her pink cloud moment of like, "Oh my God." She's now feeling what it's like to be skinny. She thinks she looks very pretty.

She's front row, like a Paris fashion week. But like, she's everything that she railed against. She's become now we're gonna go to Gail in the back of a chauffeur, car with Oprah reclining awkwardly as she's trying to zip up pants that are clearly too tight for her.

Let's show the video. We're gonna watch the video. This is, it's too good not to share. This is what fashion is. You okay, Gail? These are comfortable.

I'm sorry, but you can see Gail Hamilton. And nobody aside from Oprah allegedly reported how you were done to get out there. Nobody aside from Oprah allegedly reportedly wants to see Gail's Hamilton.

Is this what Barry Weiss really signed to at least five million for the next year?

This sludge, this aesthetic, disgusting, like, and completely an elegant moment. This is not relatable, okay? These people think that's relatable. It's not. And then Gail, in her Instagram, carousel, posted photos of her in front of the

Eiffel Tower, which is just like the most basic in, in basic bitchness, bitchery, right? Basic bitchery is what, like, go to Paris and show us somewhere that's a little bit like, you have more money than you'll ever know what to do with at least Oprah does. Like, why don't you show something a little bit less? Like, it would be like going, if those two came to New York City and took pictures of themselves

in front of the Statue of Liberty, you just be like, don't you know, like cooler, hyper, more like aspirational spots than that, next, Oprah and Gail in the back of their

β€œshow for Dlimmo are going to debate the best way to eat when one is swanning around,”

Paris, fashion week with an amoral husk of a human being known as Amy Griffin, just my opinion. Now, it looks like there is a minion, like, doubtless and Oprah Daily minion in the back of this vehicle, interviewing them about where they prefer, but that's not really the question. Like, there are many jokes one can make about where they're going to eat, no, I'm

saying. But, Marlene has just laughed in my ear, high praise. But, um, listen to what they call each other. Okay, the masks are just about fully dropping. I wonder if the nerves constant nudging is giving these two a little bit of like courage

here. Here we go. I tend to say away from things that say pub or tavern.

Oprah's always been used to make it about how she don't care.

I kind of like a pub, but, no, no, no, I can't go in there, you're going to get a good

β€œbeard, some fish and chips, baby, some chips.”

Fish and chips. Like a nice little booze. I can't go in there. I can't go in there. I can't go in there.

Gail, I stepped on that gail, then says back to Oprah. And no, babe, I like an amber, I like a little booth with amber, like they're calling each other, babe.

I mean, come on, is the rest of the entertainment media industrial complex going to continue

to pretend that we're not seeing and hearing what we're seeing and hearing, fine, leave it all to the nerve, more for us. We're happy with it. Okay, now we're going to take a look at Oprah, walking into a fashion show with none other than Amy Griffin, and again, this woman is being sued, and if she doesn't settle, this

is going to be great. Amy is just has not a care in the world, not a care in the world. Here we are, here we are, there's Oprah posing with Amy, Gail was in the back.

Amy just, we can stop that there, Amy's again getting in the, in the shot, and you know,

if Oprah had an Iota of self preservation, she would maybe keep an arms length at least from the likes of Amy Griffin. I mean, Oprah herself, self-professed survivor of childhood sexual abuse and violence, you know, how can Oprah really respect herself, what she survived, and continue to advocate for girls and women who survive sexual violence while parading around with the likes of someone

β€œwho I think is a total fucking fraud and a phony, who is making a mockery of childhood sexual”

violence. Again, just my opinion, one, Amy Griffin, I cannot, I think, wait to dig into this story with you guys, because again, hardly anybody else is really going to town on this, Amy Griffin, the Daily Mail. Here's an exception, where I call him twice a week, March 5th, famous author who wrote

bestselling sexual assault memoir The Tell, based it on a tax that actually happened to her friend, bombshell, lawsuit, allegious, now I'm going to read a salient excerpt from the Daily Mail report, and then I'm going to read a little bit from the New York Times piece about this lawsuit, according to the Daily Mail report, Jane Doe, this is the, she's anonymized herself, this is the name, she's filed this lawsuit under, tells you

something, tells us a lot, actually, Jane Doe met with Griffin, according to the Daily Mail, at the author's request, at a coffee shop in California in 2019, the lawsuit reported

β€œby the outlet claim, this is the New York Times, I believe, the two allegedly talked”

about growing up in Amarillo, Texas, Griffin is now a billionaire venture capitalist by Dint of her marriage to John Griffin, the billionaire founder of hedge fund Blue Ridge Capital. About three years later, a supposed producer reached out to Jane Doe to use her, quote, "Life Story for a film or television show." Jane Doe alleged the producer stopped communicating with her. Jane Doe had relayed her sexual attacks in middle school to said producer, but said

producer stopped communicating with her per the lawsuit after Jane Doe asked for a contract. So Jane Doe says that Amy Griffin reached out to her to have lunch in California with her in 2019. The tell was published to Great Fanfare on March 11, 2025. So almost one year ago to the day that we're airing this. The New York Times reported dated March 5, 20, 26. Amy Griffin, a best-selling memoirist, was sued on Wednesday, excuse me, the suit was filed Wednesday,

by a former classmate who contends that Ms. Griffin's story of being sexually abused as she described in her book The Tell was based on assaults the classmate herself suffered at their Texas middle school in the 1980s. The suit also names Sam Lansky, a ghost writer who worked on The Tell, as well as Penguin Random House and The Dial Press, which published the book, as Defendants. The Tell constitutes neither a genuine nor harmless memoir, the lawsuit says that's been the

nerfs position, low these many months. The Times notes that The Tell came out last March, amid enormous social media support from Ms. Griffin's network of famous friends among

Them, Gwyneth Paltrow.

that I have it on good authority that Amy Griffin purchases. I believe she is a big investor in

β€œgroup. That's how she got to be friends with Gwyneth. Gwyneth who called her one of the”

bravest people she knows on Instagram, The Tell, The New York Times, right? Also was selected last year by Oprah Winfrey for her book club. Ms. Dose lawsuit specifically cites two incidents in the book and assaults at a middle school dance and another in a school bathroom in which Ms. Griffin said, the teacher tied her hands behind her back with a bandana, Ms. Dose certs that both attacks actually happened to her. She contends in her lawsuit that she was sexually assaulted at the dance,

while wearing a dress she had borrowed from Ms. Griffin and that she returned the dress with a stain on it left by the teacher during the assaults. I for one, you know, Amy Griffin's lawyer says none of this is true and they look forward to litigating this vigorously and I'm telling you

β€œI will be shocked if this ever sees the inside of a courtroom. I think Amy Griffin's husband”

who I just my opinion just my supposition has got to know his wife is full of shit because there is a moment in the tell where she says to him I just did an MDMA trip her husband by the way it goes without notice in the tell big investor in psychopharmacology in the use of hallucinogens to help with trauma. She says to him I just recovered these memories that I was violently sexually assaulted as a child and in the book her husband in some in substance says yeah I can't

really go on this journey with you. The nerve will be all over it my friends the nerve will be all ethane over it now on to other ghouls and rates in the fashion world we must revisit to me more

β€œin scyoperally I miss pronounced it last week forgive me please she looks like a skeleton and it”

just goes to show you you can't fix everything and I actually hate the the the word fix when it comes to aging because it implies that there is something wrong and bad with aging aging is a privilege if you get to grow old without any major health issues you won you won but look it to me more she can't be skinny enough she can't be beautiful enough she's got like just skin hanging from underneath her you know she's at the plastic surgeon trying to figure out how to

get that snatched up and then Kelly Osborn who again is taking out her rage which seems clearly and are directed because she looks like death on the rest of us saying we're all being mean no we're not we're seeing what we're seeing and it's highly alarming and she is reminiscent of no one I said it last week no one so much is Lisa Marie Presley on the golden gloves right carpet days before Lisa Marie Presley died Kelly Osborn needs a lot of help and this is not said in a mean way this

is really said with compassion finally I would like to show you a reenact shake I saw this image

in the Sunday New York post and she's walking in Paris fashion week wrapped in fur but like their stuffies and I saw this and I thought you know the nerve was completely doing a gag like an obvious gag last summer when we did a mini in which I read from Taylor Swift's father's lengthy email long before she got mega famous in which he was lamenting the cost of doing business as Taylor Swift's dad and we're gonna show you the full screen I was wearing like her chief's boyfriend jersey

and I had um prop master Emily had a fixed like a big giant stuffed cat on my shoulder and I just thought it was a gag but low and behold I was fashion-forward who knew now onto Chloe Mal who's

first edition of Vogue has just hit the new stands and we will be doing a book report on it

on a very imminent episode of the nerve it was supposed to be today I left it at home I have a whole slew of books and papers with me and mags and I forgot that one but not to worry because first we're going to take a look at Chloe Mal on um Vogue Shopping's Instagram and Chloe is the model for what we should all be wearing this spring let's take a look at it okay Chloe is modeling all four feet 11 of her and no shame or just respect meant to anyone who is on the more

Diminutive side beauty comes in all shapes and sizes but this is not aspirati...

said this is a dowdy world war two refugee put a babushka on her and it's over it's done

β€œshe is not a fashion plate she is not a fashion-forward person now we're going to look at Chloe”

in her chair Chloe posing in these um here we go let's see it oh my god you guys look at this this and you can try all you want you're not this doesn't even look it's like this looks like she went and bought something made of highly flammable material at like urban outfitters or anthropology okay I don't care how expensive this is I couldn't even tell you it looks cheap and that is because of the person who is wearing it this woman does not embody Vogue and then the daily mail had this

amazing, amazing savage report it was a split screen or it was a side-by-side rather of Chloe with

Anna Winter at Paris Fashion Week now again as I've said Anna's going nowhere and Anna is towering

β€œover Chloe like these visuals they are all like Anna knows how to tell stories visually”

it is her genius Anna looks like a dominatrix at the Celine show okay these images were taken on Saturday March 7th and like her blue leather coat with like those wide lapels and Chloe is wearing a swampy serulean blue cardigan sweater daily mail headline Vogue's newest editor Chloe Mall commits fashion faux pas alongside Anna Winter at Paris Fashion Week and the serulean blue it makes me wonder if Chloe is a self-savitor or if Chloe knows she's in way over her head

or if Chloe knows that Anna selected her as her heir apparent just my opinion full well knowing

that Chloe would never be able to do this job at any level of competence and that the higher

β€œup seconding asked would come running back to Anna saying please there's only one Anna Winter you”

must save Vogue from this swampy swampy neppo baby Chloe daughter of Candice Bergen and the late famed film director Fredrick Mal oh no sorry Fredrick Mal is the perfume her who is her uncle Louis Mal was the director excuse me Chloe Mal gives nothing more than saffy from abthab vibes and we're showing the side by side here and if you're unfamiliar with saffy from abthab saffy was the aggressively frumpy daughter of one of those fashionistas you know those two like drinking drugging

shallow fashionistas and all they were ever trying to do was like just get saffy to just try let's try some lipstick just just you know and but her her frumpyness was it was an aggressive act it was like a fuck you to her mother and her friend and that's Chloe Mal and once you see it you can't unsee it now another crime against the culture australia's el magazine so el australia has put one sunday rose the daughter of Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban on their cover

and there's a full fashion spread inside along with a profile talking about I don't know what because this kid is a teenager who's just been modeling you know since she could get in a door in heels and I am sorry but this girl is not a model you can put the world's best photographers best hair and makeup people best stylist working on her dust till dawn this girl is not a model okay to be kind she is aggressively plain to be kind I'm not trying to be mean here but these

neppo babies are taking spaces and jobs from kids who are otherwise just trying to come up in the meritocracy this is bullshit don't try to shove this woman down our throats this woman this girl and by the way sunday rose also was mocked on instagram and elsewhere for her runway walk stop it just stop it the culture is not going to buy what you are selling vote wonders why it's dying I mean it really is on a stuff bed it wonders why this little trick of that isn't going to work

and you're speaking of we're going to talk about Darrell Hannah a little later in the show in this op ad that she wrote in the New York Times like giving Ryan Murphy no end of well-deserved shit for what he's done to her in this series we're really going to get into it but is it any wonder

That women of every generation are now looking back to Caroline beset Kennedy...

fucked up woman I call him down this over the weekend at the daily mail if people really wanted to

β€œaccept understand believe the truth of Caroline beset she was a very dark emotionally disturbed”

person who has discussed on the many once spat in the eyeball of a female photographer at an airport spat in the eye no junior bought up all those images you know it but everybody wants to look like CBK Caroline beset Kennedy isn't any wonder though she at least was stylish and put together an elegant and carried herself you know when people were looking with some dignity you look at a Sunday rose you look at a Chloe mall it is too weep it is too weep

little bit of access Hollywood's bloated coverage and then I'm going to talk the real talk about fake people okay access Hollywood and the like are going to give you a fluffy version of events that the network and most of the networks talent is going to be most pleased by the nerve

β€œis going to give you the real story and it's sorted and it's ugly and it's true and I think we'd”

all prefer to live in the truth I certainly would I know all trouble makers would so here we go let's look at access Hollywood's little puff piece about Savannah Guthrie returning to studio one a to visit her colleagues who I'll just love her so much and we we're going to begin with Jenna bush heygers great boy let me she's so emotional she can't squeeze enough and tear out but she's so emotional let's go Savannah has come back to her home here at thirty rock and to be a one a we got to see her

Savannah Guthrie does it rounded with love from her today show family the other family first

visit to the morning show set since her mother Nancy's disappearance taking time to see her co-host at the New York City studio on March 5th Jenna bush heyger and Chanel Jones discussed Savannah's visit during today's third hour and made clear that she will be welcomed back with open arms she is beyond love so here and so we're happy that she is home I don't know when she's actually we're turning to the show but she was here and that folks she's talking to you so this is just happening

right this just in and so Jenna and I haven't had a chance to talk about it um amongst each other but this is what I will share with you we're in this between each other not out of my form

β€œbut there's a light somewhere even in the midst of the storm and I think her coming here and”

just being able to to be with us and for us to be able to hug her I think it's a step right I don't know what's ahead of us we don't know what's ahead of us but all I know is it is a step and for me anytime you can take a step I celebrate that and so I looked at her and I hugged her

I'm like you know what you are here and we love you oh my god love you and wh...

we are here Chanel is such a moron and I had that sought run a little bit long so we could all just

β€œroll around in her inanity she says um I said to Savannah you are here I think Savannah”

well knows that because she got on a plane from Arizona after saying goodbye to her mother at a makeshift memorial placed by well-wishers and flew to New York and then made the decision to go visit studio one a which was done with a lot of back and forth trust me between her team and her lawyers and her agents and the execs at NBC and then letting all the talent know and then making sure that it wasn't on camera except there were very well placed paparazzi outside to get a shot of

Savannah and all of her colleagues with their most concerned faces holding back tears as they embrace Savannah so yes Chanel thanks for that breaking effing news and then Chanel says you know I just

β€œthink any anytime you take a step it's a positive a positive movement is it really is it really”

plenty of people take steps off of ledges plenty of people take ill considered steps it's not always

a positive this woman is such a fucking tiny lame brain excuse me it just makes me crazy that she's got a spot on american morning television it makes me crazy she has nothing to offer also Chanel says you know we have a chance to discuss it among ourselves amongst ourselves it's between okay between is when it's two people between you and me we haven't had a chance to talk between among is three or more okay they're not talking to a group so get it right Chanel you're on

network national network television why do I do this to myself I cannot afford to lose another

pearl I just got a new pearl ring I cannot afford to lose it okay now here's the real deal

I have it from a very well placed source within the today show that Savannah's colleagues effing hate her and that the abduction of her mother and this attendant nightmare has done nothing to ameliorate said hatred or change it or make them think you know maybe I shouldn't be so gross be ingredient looking to rise up the ranks using Savannah's absence not saying anyone in particular is doing that in a tasteless manner you know

I'm not saying there's anybody foolish on that set who seems to smile every time we talk about Savannah and her missing mother but you know we all know who we all know what's what anyway this source within the today show says that the minute Savannah's mother went missing talent sitting in that makeup room in those makeup chairs said things like this is karma that Savannah's mother's violent abduction 84-year-old woman with serious medical issues limited

mobility abducted from her bed in the dead of night that was karma they said because Savannah's

β€œsuch a bitch that's what they really think and wouldn't access Hollywood be way more interesting”

and compelling of a watch if they did that kind of reporting that's the real deal okay on to audience email hi again ladies this is from troublemaker christie she is writing about Chloe's cerulean blue cardigan sweater it's so funny all the comments were spot on the Chloe looks like Andy Sachs from the devil wears prodda the scene in which Andy enters uh Miranda's office as they're doing a run-through for an editorial shoot and she and Andy's wearing this like front-beasts and

really in blue sweater and she's like you know what you guys are doing in this room has nothing to do with me like I'm an intellectual like you guys are idiots like roman around saying that like that blue is different from this blue and then Miranda just levels her with how it is fashion works and how Andy who thinks she's too good to dress well is actually making a fashion statement with the tragic little cerulean blue cardigan sweater that she fished out from the bottom of a bin

at like some tragic banana republic or something like that the clash of the styles between the two women correct use of between not among christie is ghastly one has style the other looks like a fashion tragedy once again more in your right I can't say that I don't love hearing that my friend

Vogue is dead for sure I see glimmers of open fashion elsewhere like you for ...

me christie pearls and rock and roll definitely oh I'm into it okay this is from troublemaker Natalie

β€œour frequent court correspondent subject dismissive tumotay uh I'm wearing you probably saw”

this latest outburst from tumotay who thinks he is being smart tumotay in his town hall with mister all right all right said that nobody cares about opera and ballet anymore and he offended a ton of people none so much as native New Yorkers who um New York City is home to the Metropolitan Opera Opera and it is home to the New York City ballet both of which are part of the cultural lifeblood of the city and someday when they do an autopsy of how it is that tumotay came to

lose an Oscar that was otherwise tip to be his come to the nerve we have a diagrammed okay hello

Marie and this is from Paul from New Zealand much discussion by troublemakers in the live chat

β€œand YouTube comments about Darrell Hannah's love story response and here we see Paul's very inspired”

artwork and um we're going to discuss it in a very few met in very few minutes excuse me from troublemaker Kate from England uh high morning and Marlena uh uh this troublemaker says life has been a little challenging lately we are sorry to hear that Kate and we hope things get on the upswing very soon um we are happy that the nerve gives you a smile now and then now Kate says that while

we were discussing love story recently I mentioned Michael Kennedy's funeral and Kate wasn't familiar

with that particular Kennedy or the circumstances surrounding his accident so she looked into it afterwards and she came across the story about his behavior with the babysitter which I had mentioned and now um some of you took me to task and rightly so my my mind was going a little bit too quickly but you know at there was an episode of love story where John Junior brings Carolyn to a Kennedy dinner at Ethel's um and it's it's framed like it's an episode of the crown and Carolyn's

meaning American royalty and John introduces Carolyn to her to his cousin Michael and someone makes a crack about Michael and babysitters Michael was statutorily raping a 14-year-old babysitter in his employee and um things were not looking good for Michael until he crashed into a tree on skis without wearing a helmet while playing ski football with other Kennedy's who had been told by the resort to knock it off because they were putting

other patrons in mortal danger did they listen no did they continue their reckless behavior because they're entitled pieces of shit yeah and did Michael Kennedy die a very violent death slamming into a tree it probably 80 miles an hour indeed he was raping a child dear marine I love what you and Bill from Brooklyn said about Lindsay at Lindsay Vaughn and her selfishness and stupidity I was thinking my opinion might be too harsh but I felt

β€œthe same as you guys and so validated after your Friday show that's what the nerve is here for okay”

will be your in we are your voice in the wilderness when you're like I'm harsh for thinking something that the rest of the mainstream media and the culture at large is telling me the opposite of how I should be feeling when the culture is telling me I should be feeling sorry for Lindsay Vaughn and that she's a heroin am I wrong for thinking that she was selfish and entitled and that this whole thing is corrupt and sinks to high heaven and that she stole a slot on the Olympic team again

for some kid who's just trying to come up through the meritocracy no trouble maker you are not you are dead on you are among your people the moment I heard trouble maker Sharon in Georgia continues that Lindsay was going to compete with a torn ACL I thought it was the stupidest thing she could do agreed and no wonder she crashed I heard some say that it had nothing to do with the torn ACL bullshit Sharon says all in caps now I hear people saying she's so brave from newsweek

quote Vaughn crashed 13 seconds into her race in Milan she didn't win a medal but she reminded the

Rest of the sports world just how tenacious she is bullshit Sharon says this ...

do and now she's out forever good riddance could not agree with you more subject line sunglasses

β€œmoring may I ask what brand of sunglasses you wear this is trouble maker Jd who likes them absolutely”

they are Tom Ford Tom Ford tends to make a very nice big buggeid sun pair sunglasses which I love

and I almost always buy them on the real real I will never pay retail sunglasses don't cost

that much to make no matter what anybody tells you okay a favorite returns we all know who this is by the opening my darling thank you for your real talk about fake people on the JFK junior carol and beset story without the nerve oh Armando how we love you the series would have entered the cultural bloodstream like a velvety anesthetic lovely turn of phrase Armando lolly the public to sleep dreaming of a fake romantic ending to the entire Camelot narrative

β€œArmando writes that his poor girlfriend complains about me constantly quote throwing acid on the”

storyline quote just like your new girlfriend moring she is jealous of what we have my darling anyway to the point I am awestruck by the men's tailoring in this mini series I love the full cut 1990 suits the double-breasted Versace cut jackets the shapes that are highly constructed yet drape naturally notice how the silhouettes are razor sharp yet have a relaxed masculine fit

pleaded slacks with a smooth drape nothing pegged nothing forced always flattering to the shape

of real men all things considered I nominate the show for quote the best men's tailoring award on the nerve ease nerve awards twenty twenty six later this year for me Armando says the late eighties early nineties were a golden age four men's tailoring just asked the Wall Street Journal which over the weekend in their leisure section ran a piece about all these younger men now trying to recapture the JFK Jr. look Armando knows what he's talking about he finishes just looking

at Paul Anthony Kelly in his navy JFK Jr. suits makes me for clumps Armando signs off as usual

we are back over the weekend something highly unusual occurred that something like this almost

never happens as we say at the nerve celebrity on celebrity violence extremely rare but Darrell

Hannah had enough she had it with Ryan Murphy's love story JFK junior and Caroline beset Darrell dated john junior for five years they were in a very serious relationship at one point they lived together there were constant reports that they were either secretly engaged or on the verge of getting married Darrell her character has been desecrated in this thing okay so it's very gratifying to see now that that public people are pushing back against this

lionization of the Kennedy family and the idea that if a few women have to have their reputation destroyed or their lives stolen from them symbolically metaphorically or actually literally

hey you got to break a few eggs right so Darrell Hannah wrote this incredible guest essay this

op ed in the New York Times over the weekend so many of you were like morine please tell us the nerve is going to talk about it we are talking about it the headline Darrell Hannah colon how can love story get away with this my thoughts exactly you know there is there is a sort of thing where public people you know can only take so much legal action against any kind of depiction of them but

β€œI think that Darrell Hannah should truly consider a defamation case I really do because because I think”

a message really needs to be sent to people like the creators of this show you know here is a bit of Daryl's op ed in the New York Times I'm going to read from her opening graph which is a banger Jacqueline Ohnassus once gave me some wise advice Darrell writes she told me that while tabloids magazines and newspapers

often sold ridiculous lies they were nothing more than bird cage liner by the next day at the time I found great comfort and consolation in those words but they no longer hold true a few graphs down the character Darrell Hannah portrayed in the series is not even a remotely accurate representation of my life my conduct or my relationship with John the actions and behaviors attributed to me are untrue let's take a look at one scene in which a very flighty, spacey,

needy child like Darrell is hosting a cocaine party unbeknownst to John in his fancy trip back a loft here we go was it like a family thing the event tonight no why there's no

β€œmaybe a mom and sister were there and that's why you didn't invite me you just stop with this”

narrative that you're like persona non-grotto okay it's not true baby you can't any memorabilia everywhere it's not memorabilia Darrell these are not baseball cards your family heirlooms she and her friends in that scene Darrell and her friends in that scene were snorting cocaine off of a platter we are led to believe belong to president John F Kennedy Darrell in her

Op-ed for the New York Times I have never used cocaine in my life or hosted c...

parties I have never pressured anyone into marriage I have never desecrated any family heirloom

or intruded upon anyone's private memorial I have never planted any story in the press I never compared Jacqueline onassus's death to a dogs here is love stories depiction again of a very needy simple pathetic Darrell crashing Jacqueline onassus's wake which was held at Jacqueline onassus's door man building at ten forty fifth okay there was no crashing Jacqueline onassus's wake you were either invited or you were not here we go how are you feeling um I don't know

β€œhaven't had a lot of time to process that I think yeah I think grief is weird that way”

it kind of sneaks up on you and all you can do is come to it you know like when I lost Hank sorry

about that I mean yes he was a dog but he was also like a child yeah of course everyone keeps trying to find out what's going on with us like in what capacity I'm here people are asking you about our relationships to us at my mother's wake I mean not explicitly but like we haven't spoken in months exactly so that version of Darrell Hannah the Ryan Murphy version says I know what grief is like you know because my dog died and I could go into that statement but I will not you

know how we feel about dogs here at the nerve dogs may as well be people they're often better

β€œfamily members than many of our actual human family members know what I'm saying but um then”

John says oh yes sorry about that which is a very tossed off admission and it's something the show wants us to think that John taking Darrell's dog for a walk and letting that dog get killed in oncoming traffic because John was too wrapped up in his own bullshit was nothing more than just you know a minor mishap you know shit happens and so John says yes sorry about that and then Darrell pivots right into everybody at this wake wants to know in what capacity I'm here are we still

boyfriend and girlfriend are we still in eighth grade I pass a lunch a note through like my best friend to you at lunch will you answer like this is really this is really a polling this is a real

β€œlow Darrell writes in her New York Times op ed quote it is a polling to me that I even have to”

defend myself against a television show these are not creative embellishments of personality they are assertions about conduct and they are false and now we're gonna look at the final clip that we're

going to show from love story of JFK Junior this never happened there would be images of this it

never happened Sean goes out to the balcony of his mother's apartment building and waves to a crowd of New Yorkers mourners below who are singing like god bless America never happens and Darrell unbidden pushing herself into his life into his grief this Darrell trying to exploit his very deep grief over the death of his mother and use that as a way to work herself back in as his fiance as America's New First Lady here we go John's looking under like are you kidding me

and she's dressed like a widow and then he releases his hand and waves to the crowd while smirking not for nothing when John of Kennedy Junior and Darrell how to wear together she was one of the biggest movie stars on the planet she became a star overnight with her role as the mermaid in splash then she went on to co-star in steel magnolias directed by John's aunt Anne's Lee Radswell was at the time married to Herbert Robert Ross who is a closeted game man

her Ross directed steel magnolias they all were of a world Darrell Hannah came from a very wealthy family that was that part of the the part of the democratic machine in Chicago she was sophisticated she starred in legal eagles opposite Robert Redford she was a major major star this show

Treats her like a moron uh Darrell closes out her op ed with what I think is ...

points that this is what we've been talking about this is why we're doing this recap every week

β€œseparating truth from fiction Darrell writes many people believe what they see on TV”

and do not distinguish between dramatization and documented fact and the impact is not abstract in a digital era entertainment often becomes collective memory she is right real names are not fictional tools she is right they belong to real lives and this is the problem with love story there are far too many people who don't know that much about the Kennedys who don't know that much about JFK Jr and Carolyn beset who weren't even alive when these two died who are taking this

all as fact and it is not it is dangerous and who are taking this version of their relationship as as its title would have us believe a true love story again these people were so damaged and

β€œso fucked up that they wound up dying at very tender ages it a holy avoidable playing crash okay”

other celebrities are taking up four Darrell Hannah against Ryan Murphy and Ryan Murphy's a powerful

guy so the nerve applause move the culture move it to the right direction this is Rosanna our cat on Instagram on Sunday her caption underneath the photo of herself with Darrell quote I love Darrell Hannah she's a great woman a great actor writer director and activist for the environment for years she is also an animal whisperer her work in the world has been epic the portrayal of her on the streaming thing is bullshit her love with John F Kennedy Jr was real and some

of the happiest times John F Kennedy Jr had just asked his family but no one did other celebrities

β€œwho commented I only skyly Griffin Dunn now over the weekend there was a himbo convention in”

Washington Square park yes a JFK Jr look a like contest which drew hundreds of contestants we would see JFK Jr on roller blades JFK Jr in a suit JFK Jr on a bike JFK Jr in a backwards kangle with like some sunglasses on and like a bike chain slung to his side of his shorts but all in all it was a himbo competition okay and we are going to listen to the winner the winner got like 250 bucks okay here's the winner it was a bona fide stud you know

the sexiest man America I knew I had a shot just based off of how I look I did not think I was going to win I'm happy I did enter because I did win so so that guy seems like a worthy winner because he sounds a lot like JFK Jr like I'm happy I entered because I didn't think I would win but I would win it's like it's all goes back to a loop it sounds like Chanel and Jenna on the today show morons morons morons hey how about for a JFK Jr look a like competition what JFK Jr did to himself

and turned him and his wife and his sister into at the bottom of the fucking Atlantic Ocean how about that and you know it just came up on my screen no license which I take as a sign from the gods I have license to say it and I will I will that does it that does it for our Tuesday edition of the nerve come back and please see us tomorrow for the nerve at night we've got so much good stuff for you on the nerve at night if you haven't already check out our subsac at the nerve show
