ASK n.1— FROM ANON

“It’s illogical that the queen of the glued-to-her-phone and the one who records and frames everything doesn’t have a photo from the exact anniversary. Because, to be honest, knowing her pattern, she probably doesn’t even have a picture of a romantic date from the actual day (because any couple would do that on their anniversary). Plus, let’s keep in mind they’re in Brazil; technically, it would be even more of a reason to ‘celebrate’… but it’s really suspicious. Relax, Jean, we believe you, and we believe Blondie even more for sending you ‘I love you’ with the usual heart emoji, and even more so with the stellar appearances of Sophie, Vic, and the gem … MG’s mom — because everyone noticed something was off, and it turns out they started commenting on each other’s posts again 🤭.”

ANSWER:

Dear Anon, your post is so spot on — I agree with every line.

ASK n.2 — FROM FOOTPRINT 👣 ANON

“I know Blondie might have planned everything quietly, but… will it all end quietly like he wants? Look at what MG does every time he knows he’s in the final elimination zone (first My Lily and now the anniversary). I mean, I don’t think Blondie didn’t know that MG wants the narrative completely in his favor if they break up now or in 50 years, lol. No matter when, she’ll keep doing the same thing. What do you say, Liv?”

ANSWER:

Dear Footprint 👣 — you open a discussion we really need to save for calmer days because it deserves its own deep dive.

I think we are now in a ride-or-die position — for many reasons we can’t afford to let things spiral out of control like this anymore. It’s not just a personal matter, it’s also potential professional danger.

Red Bull has a high tolerance for drama and gossip — it’s a young, pop, soft drinks brand — but that’s an exception among F1 top teams and high doesn’t mean infinite.

If you look elsewhere, it is not that high at all and then you have Mercedes or Ferrari, where is zero. For those brand, and then teams, these kinda situation are just incompatible, and I think someone - we call Blondie but that is not Blondie at all - knows it and understands it without needing anyone making it that clear to him.

That’s why, besides wanting to protect his affections, minis and family, I believe he knows that things need to be changed and managed quietly in every case or wherever landing is meant to be — his driver’s value is actually inestimable and I don’t think is available to screw it up because of somebody ’s unawareness.

So every round of fireworks only accelerates what today it seems inevitable, because at some point you start balancing risk vs gain. As our Veronica said she probably thinks she’s buying time, but in reality she’s speeding it up.

And honestly, I don’t see a narrative built to favor either side — it feels like a slow fade-away. Perfectly elegant. Bravo Blondie.

So yes — if she keeps staging a scene every time, she’ll only speed up the end. Nobody simply can’t afford more of this.

Let’s just say that Saturday gave many people a lot to take notes on.

So lot of things still to be fixed.

ASK n.3 — FROM ANON

“Hi Liv! This whole MG post has reminded me of this actor — Armie Hammer? He was in a film with Timothée Chalamet but then was accused of cannibalism? Anyway, before all of that happened he was married with kids and I remember so vividly how he and his wife posted this nostalgic carousel of pics from their marriage to celebrate ten years together or something. I remember reading the caption and thinking ‘wow, they really love each other’ — and literally two months later they were split up and going through a very nasty divorce. This MG post reminded me so much of that — she’s trying so hard to reassure everyone (even herself) of their ‘love’ that it kinda makes you wonder why someone would try to convince you of the authenticity of their relationship if it really were real. And I think that’s what MG has never understood: being so focused on what people online think and say — sadly that’s her biggest problem, and one she chose for herself.”

ANSWER:

Dear Anon, I did a quick search on Armie Hammer bio and found no solid confirmation about the cannibalism thing, though plenty of other horrifying accusations — enough to send me flying on a stretcher🤣

That aside, I completely agree with you. This post was meant to reassure, to smooth things over after the Rainbow incident — a cosmetic operation to cover what was still spilling out.

If third story was a mantra of self-convincing, this was a follow-up erase & reassurance round.

And yes, she reads too much — and by now we all see exactly what she reads. That makes her reactive, and being reactive is the worst thing one can be online— or ever, really. So I fully agree: it’s her biggest problem, and sadly one she chose for herself.

ASK n.4 — FROM ANON

“Five years together yet Max still looks like he’s out with his mother.”

ANSWER:

And the winner is ….. anon !!!

😭😭😭😭😭😭

Seems like Dilara was the exception (💘) and then after they split he went to Discount Dollar MG instead 🤭

(Was that too mean? You can blame the Friday vibes for getting me a liiiittle more catty than usual hehe🥂)

— Glitterati Anon

Oh Glitterati, hi there!

You’re actually one of the legendary casualties of my 40,000 edits — welcome back!

And no, it’s absolutely not too mean; we’ve already had the “Temu version of Megan Fox,” so this little gem definitely joins the previous anon’s crown jewel.

May the Friday vibes protect us all the way through Saturday — just to keep us even cattier. 😉

Liv 💫

Miss Benson 👆

No, Anon — I’m crying 😭 I swear, I have actual tears in my eyes.

This is so good, it’s pure perfection.

I just want to sit here and enjoy these pearls of wisdom from you while staring at that photo. 💀💎

On the other hand, Alex knows her target audience: young, trendy Gen-Z girls who are chronically on TikTok. So she markets Meshki, Rhode, Alo. Things they’ll look at and buy because they want to be on brand and look like Alex (she’s a blank slate, she’s pretty, she’s dating Charles Leclerc—she’s the self-insert character teen girls desperately want to be. She’s real life Bella Swan and that’s why her popularity is so enormous—she’s anything you project her to be)

(vs. MG who is…the exact opposite)

I know this sounds a bit cruel but I can’t imagine there’s hoards of women in their late 20s/early 30s dying to mimic MG of all people when you have other references like Amal Clooney, Zendaya, and ironically Victoria Beckham who started as a WAG and evolved to become a fashion mainstay. These women are aspirational but MG isn’t

MG is just…I don’t know, poor marketing strategy? A bad business investment? What I would give to be able to see sales reports from brands who’ve hired her…

Dear Anon,

I’d say what you wrote isn’t an ask — it’s a full report.

And about your final question…Maybe the answer is both.

Or maybe, as always, something in between — a bridge toward something or someone else rather than a destination itself.

I’d love to see those reports too, honestly.

But for now, I’ll settle for yours —

and if that’s what “settling” looks like,

then I’m perfectly fine with it.

Wow

Liv 💫
