I'm not saying that her allegations are false, I'm just saying that maybe she DOES have something to gain. #marymurphy

All people who suffer rape and assault by the hands of someone they love have something to gain by speaking about it: self respect. #marymurphy

I am still not open about my abuse with my family members. The reason? I'm ashamed. 5 years and countless therapy sessions, and I still feel shame. Every time I tell a friend what happened to me, it's like I get a piece of myself back. It's not easy to do, and I admire Mary Murphy. #marymurphy

You all can continue to freak out at me if you'd like, but I'm not interested. #marymurphy

A woman I work with mentioned once that she'd been abused by her ex-husband. I was stunned because I can't imagine her as a victim - which is precisely why people need to speak out. It can happen to anyone, and curiousgeorgiana I really hope one day you can share this with your family and get that peace you deserve. #marymurphy

We don't all have to be in lock-step agreement to have a useful conversation, right? Come on, let's not give up on this too easily. It's an interesting subject, and I'd like to hear what else you have to say. #marymurphy

I'm cynical sure, but I made no statement about whether or not this happened to her. Only that she does, in fact, have something to gain. It seems that there is probably a better/more valuable way to open up to abuse victims than through a crappy gossip rag. #marymurphy

I don't mind her choice of US Weekly, however. I see that magazine at the gym, at the doctor's office, in line at the grocery store. To see Mary on the cover sharing her story might be helpful to an abuse victim or even the public in general. #marymurphy

Speaking out about the darkest, most shameful parts of our lives is not a bad thing, and in fact can be healing, not just for the person doing the speaking, but for anyone who has gone through something similar and hears that story, because it lets them know they aren't alone.

1. Never trust anyone who, mid-conversation, breaks out into an a-capella performance.
2. If your driver starts dry-shaving, tuck and roll out of that car.

Also, I should add I was in the car, and it was at that moment I got kind of worried I would die.

The thing I don't get about dry-shaver is... don't you have a house? Why are you dry shaving, in a car no less? Do you sink-bathe yourself out of a cup of water in your car?

Anyway, the woman who was on Tyra has had some kind of superglam makeover, and I'm curious if this was addressed on the Tyra show and if they did it for her. If they glammed her up, I will be mildly irked that they felt the need. If she just decided to be glam on her own, I will let Tyra go on that one.

Though that background music is obnoxious.

Yes, dumbass, Jesus made your father an incesty lech and put your sister through her hellish life so that YOUR ALBUM would have a boost on its release date. That was His big plan.
