Chrissy Teigen faced backlash after tweeting about accidentally ordering a $13,000 bottle of wine at dinner, a struggle which few could relate to.
one time john and I were at a restaurant and the waiter recommended a nice Cabernet. We got the bill and it was 13,000 dollars. HOW DO U CASUALLY RECOMMEND THAT WINE. we didn’t even finish it and it had been cleared!!!
Flaunting your wealth during a pandemic that has left many unemployed is probably not a great idea, but hey, at least that server hopefully got a great tip.

Look, I hear Olivia and what she’s saying about a film being a product of its time. But the musical has problematic aspects, and it’s okay to acknowledge that and still enjoy the film, rather than completely pushing them under the rug. Let’s also not forget that Grease Live! refused to cut the line about a girl “putting up a fight,” so clearly it’s got a damaging message that’s lived on.

I get this to a certain degree, but I wish Dixie had a little more regard for what a privilege it is to be able to go to college and how many people don’t have that option.
