Celebitchy has a been an absolute dumpster fire last few days. Where do I even start. First Celebitchy regulars had to eat crow when Emily R. and Amy Schumer went out to protest Kavanaugh nomination and actually got arrested, while what did holier than you Celebitchy regulars do? Nothing. Kitten commented something along the lines that she always had a lot of snark for those two women, but what they did was good. Really, Kitten? You think they care about your “snark”. They are out there living their lives and doing their thing and not caring about your snark at all. They are bigger women than you are. They don’t get off on putting other women down.
Today’s Taylor Siwft post went pretty much the same way. Many posters twisting themselves into pretzels to avoid owning up their irrational hatred for Taylor. She gets more criticism than MAGA Kanye, despite everything good that she has done.
Then there was Kaiser slut shaming Barbara Bush for marrying too soon, in her opinion. Thankfully most posters didn’t agree with Kaiser.
And then to top it of the Keira and Kate post where majority of commenters went out of their way to miss the point Keira was making about patriarchy and the crazy expectations for women, and instead talked about their “different” experiences. If you judge by Celebitchy comments, apparently it is completely normal for a woman to be dressed up for a photo call hours after birth. Well, I don’t care how different they are, I felt like I was hit by a truck, and I had one of those “easy” births. These women internalized patriarchy to such extent, they don’t even realize what is normal and what is not normal anymore.Thankfully there were some reasonable commenters on that thread as well, I especially liked the one who said that we never get to see “the other side” of women’t choices. We see women dressed up and made up and we should respect that as their choice, but why don’t we see women in the public eye making another choice? That is patriarchy for you.
I almost forgot, they also think Susan Sarandon who supports Bernie Sanders, is worse than Trump. Wow, just wow. For a site which claims to support women they really do have irrational levels of hate for some women.
This Taylor post today made me absolutely livid. Even now Kaiser continues calling her a snake, and not a single poster called her out on it! Some feminists there are ! Or maybe they did and were blocked.
So, let’s take a look - on one hand we have Kaiser, an anonymous gossip writer and on the other hand we have Taylor Swift, a successful performer and a business woman, who took a person who groped her to court, who contributes to various charities and feminist causes and who came out in support of Democrats, while Kaiser did what? Kaiser is a coward with no principles, and she doesn’t get to call anybody a snake because she contributes nothing positive to society herself.
I am pretty sure Celebitchy is paid by Kardashians. There is absolutely no reason otherwise for Kaiser to write 2 Kardashian stories a day and continue giving passes to Kanye and his MAGA rants.
In reading the stories I notice that all the comments are about seething hatred for Pitt…and then someone writes the following “Ops the comment i was replying to got deleted” so that does show how each comment must be constantly monitored ..erasing all room for dissent. yikes!
Yeah, this person doesn’t sound stable at all. I noticed her comments today as well.
Yes, she moderates in real time. I’ve seen comments disappear very quickly. And once they deleted a couple of your comments, they put you in a permanent moderation and they only let through what they decide to let through.
That also means that if a nasty comment is not moderated it is not that Kaiser hasn’t seen it. It means that she agrees with it, or leaves it be to create more drama and more clicks.
To Anon that share her point of view.
I fully understand your about that comment seeker .who actually was me.I didn’t mean with that view that you are saying.
Like Kaiser i was abused /raped more than once by men and women.Because of that i cannot have babies.
Fortunately i had a great institution who helped me and still help me today everyday.
I told my story and continue to tell my story in group support.Everyone who have being throw a situation like this reacts differently. I lost many things in that period of time but did not lost my opinion.
My pity comments is i (in my opinion)i personally don’t like to share my story with in my “work place” like Kaiser and have comments i feel sorry for you .I had that experience and the look for people look at and feel sorry for you everyday and looks at you and remember the story and cried (like i say is my experience).
Like Kaiser i don’t feel happy with this Kavanaugh and Ford situation and others stories But i don’t see EVERYTHING BLACK AND WHITE.
In my opinion Kaiser bravely told her story like others who aren’t heard.The difference is CB is not victim support site and don’t have the skills and the education and professionaly to help.Like me and others she remember by personally experience what going through .
Kaiser was interesting site well write site but in couple months had being bullying people harshly and only her opinion counts only and that is not fare.Blocking moderation comments was created to inappropiate language (like my pity comment ,whore ,bitch and others) .
The way she present her story and previous story was like she giving justification why she acts and blocked comments that what she does.
I truly apologize this situation and comment.I truly apologize to @bannedfromcelebitchy.i will be always responsible by my actions.i fully support and respect if want block me and do not and keep contact.
I TRULY RESPECT THE VICTIMS AND HISTORY.BUT EVERYONE DEAL DIFFERENTLY ITS 11 YEARS SINCE IT HAPPENS IN MY.I LIVED BY THE DAY.I WAKE AND GO TO SLEEP EVERYDAY WITH THIS SITUATION.
I AM TRULY TO ALL OF YOU.IF DON’T BELIEVE THAT IS FINE.💓

I hear you. I don’t necessarily agree with everything you say. I think a part of the confusion is that it was Celebitchy (the site owner) who posted her assault story, not Kaiser. Even though it is mostly Kaiser who writes for that site, and it is Kaiser who moderates and demonstrates hypocrisy at every turn. Though, Celebitchy, as the site owner is ultimately responsible for what goes on there as well.
You also make a good point that they are not professionals, and should be very careful about how they approach such sensitive subjects.
Ultimately, what I wish for everyone who has been through such a terrible experience is to be able to share their hurt and let go of it, and heal. It is a hard road, and it is different for everyone. HUGS.
Understanding philosophy requires an open mind, and willingness to consider other opinions, understanding difficult and often even contradictory concepts. Kaiser doesn’t have this skill, I imagine she wasn’t very good at philosophy. May be this is why she ended up where she is, and not working for McKinsey or Boston Consulting Group.
I am fully aware that the Celebitchy website is a buisness, after all. A buisness owned by a woman. There obviously will be advertisements, she doesn’t owe me anything. I’ve been a reader of that site since its beginning. No ads back then.
I am also aware of Kaiser-the toad being a bully. As a commenter, she used to engage in unnecessary arguments all day, every day. She was very vulgar, too. Weird obsession with Michael Fassbender’s “dong”. So when the fangirl became the site’s head writer, things changed rapidly. The readership increased and improved, because she focussed on Kate Middleton. CB was one of the few websites which didn’t indulge in sycophancy which was probably refreshing for its new audience. (Later, it evolved into full on hate and obsession) Kaiser cleverly chose her subjects. From just another celeb gossip site, it now focussed on issues that its readership face: domestic violence, molestation, assault. For a young girl like me, it was a safe space.
I got molested by a member of my school staff. I cried for days, didn’t sleep properly, and i was terrified. After sharing my story on CB, i was encouraged by a commenter to seek help. I told my parents. He got fired. My school headmistress listened, and believed me.
As far as i know, CB is, and as of yet, continues to be a safe space for women wanting to share their stories. Without men cyber bullying/threatening them, or other women calling them “Pity comment” seekers. But the rate with which Kaiser is banning and silencing - that would eventually change.
CB isn’t a charity, either. Like every business, hypocrisy is a policy they all follow. But, It is the very few women in the comment section which matter. If/when they get banned, I’d stop reading that site.
Kaiser was clever enough to attract an impressive readership, but too dumb to sustain it. I doubt her current dedicated minions read your page. Policing Kate sugars, and blessing Meghan devotees keeps them pretty busy. Quite entertaining to watch.
I am not a Kaiser fan, I enjoy it when you people call her out. She is an unhinged bully toad. But I felt offended by “Looking for pity comments” ask. Katie is very brave, and that bravery needs to celebrated rather than questioned.
I read and follow you, too. Thanks for creating this Tumblr page. I bet Kaiser reads it, too. I was banned for writing a nice comment on a Taylor Swift article. Oh well. CB is following the daily Mail model of business. Selling hate, and creating false narratives. When applied to celebrities, I couldn’t care less. In 1% -ers universe, we don’t exist.
Sorry for writing you an essay, please don’t ban me:)
————————————————————————————————–
I am very happy you found support and help. Lots of love and hugs for you . You are right, there are some very good people who pass through that site. Too bad CB cannot keep them, and even bans some on purpose.
I would never ban you. I haven’t banned anyone, actually. This thought didn’t even cross my mind. I am not the one to shut down any opinion, and I actually agree with what your wrote. Again, lots of love. It is very sad that so many women are still targeted, assaulted and are taken advantage of. But I truly believe that with the #MeToo movement the tide finally started to turn.
And what is more, because you were so brave and spoke up, you probably saved other girls at your school from going through the same.You might not think you are a hero, but you are.
For starters, they should stop moderating everybody who doesn’t follow the party line. Then they wouldn’t have to come here in order to find out what people really think. What does this remind me of? Ah, that is right, the Soviet Union and the Iron Curtain.
Agree.
This definitely crosses the line.
CB is a negative place, and while it provides safe space for people to share their stories ( if they meet with Kaiser’s approval), then many of the same people then turn around and slam other posters and other female celebrities on other posts. Is that healthy? It cannot be a great place when it is so hypocritical.
Don’t forget that Celebitchy is a commercial place and they are after clicks. They provide a safe place for women to share their stories, and that is good. But they don’t do it out of goodness of their hearts, they are selling you advertisement at the same time, and your daily serving of Kardashians, and Kate- and Taylor Swift hate, and a few other things. It is not a wholesome place, and what bothers me. It purposely attracts vulnerable people to make money on them .
And then they also pick and choose which stories are OK to share, and which they are going to block because they don’t conform to Kaiser’s views of the moment.
I don’t know if she wanted pity, or she is just finally ready to admit to herself what happened to her. Anyway, I am not going to judge her for it. No matter what her motivation is, the women who dealt with assault need to be supported, whether we like them or not.
Having said that, I also think Celebitchy is a site which intentionally attracts vulnerable and traumatized people, but not to help them, but for clicks and to make money off them, And THAT I find disgusting. They started as a gossip site and now they turned into a site which takes advantage of people. They also figured out that they could do this with people who are strongly anti-Trump. They give them an emotional outlet, and in exchange they get clicks. But Celebitchy is not a healthy place for that, either. It feeds negativity, instead of doing something constructive.
The way they resent maternity leave make me think that most of the posters are Americans, brainwashed Americans, who don’t see maternity leave as a basic human right. Then why are they so obsessed with Kate and her lack of “work ethics” to begin with. If they were British taxpayers, then it would be more understandable.
What they they are doing is not ethical, but it is not illegal, so nothing can really be done other than spreading the word about it. This information does damage their reputation and ensures they never become a real new site, like, for example, Huffington Post, and will forever remain in the dumpster of gossip sites.
Slowsnow must be new, or an old user under a new name, because I don’t remember this nic. I think if you bring a comment of a person from Celebitchy, as a quote with the time, then it is a fair game to discuss it, given that you would be discussing an actual post, not just some hearsay. Whatever is posted in public domain is a fair game.
That is why started this site. The regular posters will on purpose misinterpret what you’ve said, but when you try to clarify and call them out on it, you comments get moderated!
Nobody gets to moderate me here ))).
It is pretty clear that the “work” is just an excuse to allow them to discard their “feminist” robes for a while and be themselves. Especially since the most vitriolic critics seem to be Americans, who don’t pay British taxes and seem to have no problem with many other member of the royal family, whether they work or not.
Ok so today’s post was about Meghan at the launch of her book accompanied by Harry and her mother. Oh the accolades! I couldn’t read them all, it was so nauseating. If Carole was ever to accompany her daughter to an official event, we would never hear the end of it, like, “She can’t do anything without her mother”! So much hypocrisy on that site, and they are all parrots.
I feel the same way. When they start putting Kate down in comparison, I want to defend her. And it creates negative feelings towards Meghan. But Meghan has nothing to do with any of it!
Kaiser doesn’t know the first thing about writing or journalism. It would make CB a better place if she were to get some training in that area. There are plenty of free classes available online.
As for the judge, I hear what you are saying, but his professional history doesn’t bode well for women’s rights, so I won’t be sorry if he gets derailed. At the very least he comes off as very entitled.
And have you seen how the right wing press went after the woman and her family? They are doing all they can to discredit her. That is not in relationship to the CB, I don’t condone stooping to the same level, but the Republicans definitely fight very, very dirty here. And that makes me less inclined to be impartial in this case. If they think it is OK to go after a woman and her family like that, then I am not even going to bother giving them the benefit of a doubt.
The latter, because she tried reigniting it a couple of times but it didn’t take. She loved all those clicks.
A couple thoughts on today’s posts. Kaiser is out again with her bangs “disorder”, that is what I am going to call it. There is nothing wrong with bangs. They look especially good on women with oval faces or women with high foreheads. And aren’t we all about letting women do what they want and be who they are? If they like bangs, so be it, and who is to say otherwise?
I also think Brie Larson looks fine as Captain Marvel. And I am not a fan of hers by any stretch, but maybe I will become one. ))) I especially liked one comment by someone who said, this is the first fully clothed female superhero. I am fully on board with that, I think we need more of that - more strong women who don’t have to be half dressed to hold attention. More women like Grace Jones.
Thank you. As I read more of today’s comments which weren’t there yesterday I saw that. Sorry for overreacting. It is a nice thing she did, but it is blown way out of proportions on CB.
Couldn’t believe the hate on the Kate posts. And I think Meghan is headed for sainthood.
—————————————————————————————————–
Lol, so yesterday I went and read the post about Meghan’s cookbook and the comments and I was just dying from laughter. The posters sound like teenage Taylor Swift fans, or Hanna Montana fans of a decade ago.
They all went and bought the book immediately on Amazon.. Yay! Why stop there, buy 5 copies, like Taylor’s fans. There is nothing wrong with it, I just thought it is funny they behave like that on a site that hates Taylor. Actually Meghan reminds me of Taylor so much in her manner and body language.
And all Meghan did, apparently, was writing the foreword for the book, or rather her PR person did, with Meghan’s input. It is such hard work, or as one person said “this is a modern, thinking royal”. I almost burst out laughing. No kidding.
I was banned from celebitchy..and just realized it. I think it was because I did not agree with all the Angelina Jolie saga..and I guess that is why I was banned. I was thinking it was becoming very one sided when it comes to certain celebrities. but I thought the tone was getting dark and very mean spirited.
————————————————————————————————–
And now you know why it is so one sided. Because everybody else is banned.
Compare, if can stomach it, the Meghan and Kate articles today. 150 ish comments each. Meghan’s are all good and Kate’s are all bad. It would be funny it it wasn’t so obvious. Now I don’t really think either of these inituatives are exactly perfect but come on, please see yourselves people, they are clearly pandering to Meghan.
————————————————————————————————
Just last week I was so angry when I saw comments judging Kate for not working because she was on maternity leave. It is maternity leave , not vacation! Honestly, we wouldn’t let men get away with ignorant comments like that. But when it is women doing it, it is OK?!!!
No, it is not OK. I am in the US, I worked until the day my contractions started, and that is normal in the US. We are treated like livestock here, and that is not OK. And people who don’t see that because it is more important for them to disparage Kate than to defend women’t rights, I don’t have words for them ….
Anyway, the next day I saw that Kate was out with her own charity, and, apparently, was not just lolling about during her maternity leave (Urggghhhh.) I did wonder how the Kate-haters were going to spin that.
