Showing Original Post only (View all)Bill Maher Cruelly Mocks Bella Thorne's Anxiety to Her Face - Daily Beast [View all]
What a garbage human.
The discrepancy began when Thorne opened up about how she fell into weed as a result of her anxiety, which immediately agitated Maher. What is it with you kids and anxiety? he questioned. What is causing all the anxiety?
Though Thorne attempted to explain that theres constant bad, bad, bad everywhere you look, Maher wasnt having it. He argued with the actress, saying it was a disingenuous argument and that her generation doesnt know whats going on in the world.
So how can you be that fucking concerned about whats going on in the world? Maher said. I know whats going on in the world! I should have the anxiety! I follow it, you kids dont follow it. You dont know what the fuck is going on in the world! What are you upset about?
Later on, he told Thorne that young kids need to get off social mediathats where the anxiety (and apparently, cancellation) comes from. The real kicker, though, came when Maher continued to blast Thornes anxiety even after she had opened up about her fathers death and other childhood trauma.
I think a lot of the people who are the most anxious have the most privileged lives, Maher said, prompting a hm of disapproval from Thorne. Look at your life! Everybody wants it. Everybody wants to be you.

OP
You are correct - he has always been a jerk - but I at least thought he had some limits

I know she is not a child. I am responding to Maher telling "kids" to get off social media. nt

Telling teens to stay off social media is like telling them to stay a virgin until marriage.
