Celebrities dating teenagers, and getting married to 14 y/os was very common.
Even Jerry seinfeld did that!
I'm curious though, when we all agreed that this is a thing that should stop. Cause it's weird that we let this happen at all
It's been a thing most people hated for a while. It was controversial when Seinfeld did it and controversial when Jerry Lee Lewis did it back in the 60's or whatever.
Women just have an increasing amount of political power and American culture has gotten slightly less sexist.
True, but they kept doing it.
Jimmy page also had a 14 gf or fiance or something
Yeah, my edit kind of speaks to that. Women didn't have as much political power and wealthy dudes have a long history of doing whatever fucked up shit they feel like.
Example of increased political power:
#MeToo did make an impact, even though it was sold out by the Democrats as soon as it looked like it was going to hold a figure they cared about accountable.
Even then, predatory motherfuckers like Louis CK are still back and winning awards. We still have a long ways to go and a lot of bastards to guillotine.
Sure, and Stalin too, but knowing reddit this is somewhat celebratory of that shit
Oh they really like to pick and choose who's it's okay to be doing that and who's it not.
Also u/Martin_from_Utah: "Elon Musk is so cool for sleeping with Grimes :so-true:"
I mean she was thirty when she got with Musk, but the guy is clearly going after young women. He's a total predator.
Musk does hate his father though, it's literally the only good thing about him
gonna be honest i had no idea he was 50. I thought he was like 35 by the way he acts
I heard the book that made that allegation may not have been factual.
Edit: This is what I saw.
Montefiore, the man who wrote the book, is a published historian and was already rich, famous and connected at the time he wrote the book the claim was in. The claim wasn't the centrepiece of the book and it wasn't accompanied by any real larger propaganda push to tarnish Stalin's legacy, Montefiore had everything to lose if he was caught lying about or falsifying historical records and very little to gain by doing so.
There were rumors at the time, that's a matter of public record, that were dismissed as baseless slander. Montefiore had access for the first time to unsealed Soviet records he says were about Beria investigating the rumors, finding out to his shock they were probably true and covering it up again. Montefiore did have access to previously sealed Soviet records about Stalin's personal life and the keepers of the records haven't contradicted him, nor have Stalin's family.
There was a DNA test a few years later (one of Stalin's grandsons by Vasily volunteered) which corroborated Montefiorre's story.
It's not a pleasant piece of history but I don't see any reason to doubt it.
Apparently Montefiore was in Epstein's little black book. :what-the-hell:

Did he publish the records? According to the reddit post:
[Montefiore] cites a statement by KGB head Serov that supposedly confirms the story but there is no actual reference to this document in the bibliography, nor an image of the document in question. The only direct quote from this source is: “J. V. Stalin started living together with her.” [i.e. in the same house as her parents]
Thanks for the context.
I don't remember the details of the discussion I read, so I'll take the doubts with a grain of salt then.There was a DNA test a few years later (one of Stalin’s grandsons by Vasily volunteered) which corroborated Montefiorre’s story.
I saw this too, in the Siberian Times, but when I shared it comrades told me it wasn't a reputable newspaper. Could have just been cope, idk.
Edit: I think this may have been what I saw. I'm reading it now.
Source for the Stalin stuff? Getting contradictory views from the replies thus far.
When he was in exile/prison in Siberia he ostensibly had a child with a 14 year old from the village by the work camp. AFAIK the claim comes from his alleged descendant (IIRC they're claiming Stalin is their grandfather?) and there are no contemporary sources on it. I think there was talk of doing genetic testing between them and his known relatives, but I don't know what happened with that.
Her name was Lidia Pereprygina and Stalin and her had two children, one died as an infant. He was 35 and living in exile in Kureika after getting moved around in various work camps. He had gotten arrested at a Bolshevik masquerade ball of all things
It was March 1914. She was 14 years old. Stalin left sometime between winter 1916 and March 1917, then never spoke to her again nor had any interest in his son with her.
For the rich? Publicly they bump it up a couple years but it’s still a thing
Didn't he try start an actual pedo island fan cult under the guise of some 30 seconds to mars concert fan group thing on some island.
Leto is real 👁️ hours, check out this episode of Ghost Stories for the End of the World where they cover Leto. (I have a subscription if you want me to send the file over)
It was changing as I took the screenshot. They run stupid scripts to make it change live while you are surfing the site
Should it really be "damnthatsinteresting" if it's not at all a shock revelation?
