Throughout my career—and private life I’ll have you know—I’ve tried very hard to be a benefit-of-the-doubt kind of gal. I don’t like generalizations, assumptions, broad strokes that ignore nuance, or straight-up judgements of other people as if I’m superior in anyway, because I’m not. But this, THIS Y’ALL, is some bullshit. The quantity, volume, and literal parts per million of bovine excrement we are witnessing here is enough to make me throw my decorum, propriety, and potentially reputation out the window of a speeding but affordably priced car. A 26-year-old woman named Madelaine Brockwell just got married during a week-long event in France that cost her family $59 million dollars. I, to put it mildly, have thoughts.
