The more daunting task was getting someone in Hollywood to finance a movie starring older women. Studio after studio, including Bette and Joan's former home Warner Bros, turned down the idea or claimed they would only be interested if the leading women were replaced with younger talent. Eventually, a small production company called Seven Arts said yes and handed over some meager funds.

And it didn't take long for the bad behavior to migrate from behind-the-scenes to in front of the camera.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Concerned that Bette would actually hurt her during a scene that required the two actresses to fight, Joan requested a body double, but there was one close-up shot that required her participation. During this take, whether by accident or not, Bette gave Joan's head such a kick that Joan required stitches. What did Bette have to say for herself? “I barely touched her.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/08/WHTBJJ.gif\">\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-33515\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/08/WHTBJJ.gif\" alt=\"WHTBJJ\" width=\"245\" height=\"160\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Joan wanted revenge and got it while filming a later scene, which involved Bette dragging her across the room. To prepare, Joan, who knew Bette had a history of back problems, strapped on a weightlifters' belt to make herself as heavy as possible. \"There is a way of making it easy on the actor who is doing the carrying, but Crawford wanted Bette to suffer,\" director Robert Aldrich later said.

Bette and Joan got rich all over again, thanks to the profit percentages they had agreed to in the budget negotiations. The movie also raked it in with five Oscar nods total.

She actively campaigned against Bette during the Oscar season and hatched a secret plan to humiliate her at the ceremony. Bette lost that year's title to Anne Bancroft and couldn't believe her eyes when none other than Joan, herself, waltzed on stage to collect the award. (Joan had called all the other nominees and offered to accept the award on their behalf, should they win.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqjO39TX5RY\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I almost dropped dead! I was paralyzed with shock. To deliberately upstage me like that! Her behavior was despicable. I will never forget the look she gave me. It was triumphant.

Hush, Sweet Charlotte\u003c/em>. The public's interest in the Bette and Joan rivalry had made them so much money the first time around; why not have another go? Both stars agreed, but the film was immediately plagued by drama.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First, the production had to be delayed a month due to Joan wanting to attend a Pepsi sales conference. Once filming did start, Joan complained about no one coming to collect her and her team (a maid, a makeup artist and a hairdresser), after they had landed in Baton Rouge. She also complained about the accommodation, which was too close to garbage cans. Bette snapped, \"Oh, Joan, pull yourself together. This is Baton Rouge, not Beverly Hills!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_33541\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 360px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/08/joan-crawford-is-embarrassed-for-you-o.gif\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-33541\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/08/joan-crawford-is-embarrassed-for-you-o.gif\" alt=\"Joan misses LA, where everywhere you go has valet.\" width=\"360\" height=\"238\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Joan misses LA, where everywhere you go has valet.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Joan also suspected that Bette had too much control over the director and was plotting against her: \"She's practically directing the picture for him right in front of me, so God knows what else she's up to behind my back. I might wind up on the cutting-room floor.\" And Bette's behavior on set didn't assuage that paranoia; Joan would say \"Hello\" or \"Good morning\" every day and Bette would simply ignore her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the shoot continued, Joan began complained of exhaustion and refused to work or speak to the director. The suspicion was that she planned to feign illness to get out of the movie. Insurance doctors and private detectives were involved and the studio's insurance company gave the director an ultimatum: either replace Joan or it's a wrap.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The film left Joan behind, who promptly checked herself into a hospital. Olivia de Havilland, a friend of Bette's, was selected as her replacement. Back on set, Bette toasted Joan's exit and Olivia's entrance with a glass full of Coca-Cola.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/08/bettedavisamen.gif\">\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-33542\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/08/bettedavisamen.gif\" alt=\"bette+davis+amen\" width=\"243\" height=\"225\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bette and Joan would never work together again. Joan died first, but even death didn't soften Bette towards her former co-star. \"You should never say bad things about the dead, you should only say good. Joan Crawford is dead. Good.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Was their feud real? Or was it a media creation, which Bette and Joan capitalized on? Most likely a bit of both. They say that what you hate in someone else is what you hate in yourself. Maybe these two women always found themselves at odds because they were just too similar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both came from single-mother households. Both were headstrong Alpha leading ladies trying to survive in a world that only allowed for one. Both were Aries (\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/2016/06/21/will-our-next-president-be-hillary-or-trump-astrologers-think-they-know/\">if you believe in that sort of thing\u003c/a>).

Bette’s character spends the entire film tormenting Joan’s character, who is paralyzed and can't defend herself, so it's no wonder that Bette said \u003cem>Hell yes.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Getting Bette to sign on was the first challenge. The more daunting task was getting someone in Hollywood to finance a movie starring older women. Studio after studio, including Bette and Joan's former home Warner Bros, turned down the idea or claimed they would only be interested if the leading women were replaced with younger talent. Eventually, a small production company called Seven Arts said yes and handed over some meager funds. Both women had to take a drastic pay cut, in exchange for a percentage of the profits, in order to get the ball rolling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_33526\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/08/crawford-davis.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-33526\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/08/crawford-davis-800x541.jpg\" alt=\"Joan and Bette on set.\" width=\"800\" height=\"541\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/08/crawford-davis-800x541.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/08/crawford-davis-400x271.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/08/crawford-davis-768x520.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/08/crawford-davis-1180x798.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/08/crawford-davis-960x650.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/08/crawford-davis.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Joan and Bette on set.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>As you might expect, the petty shenanigans on set were of Biblical proportions. For instance, Joan had been married to the CEO of Pepsi and advocated for Pepsi product-placement in the film. Bette responded by having a Coca-Cola machine installed on set. And it didn't take long for the bad behavior to migrate from behind-the-scenes to in front of the camera.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Concerned that Bette would actually hurt her during a scene that required the two actresses to fight, Joan requested a body double, but there was one close-up shot that required her participation. During this take, whether by accident or not, Bette gave Joan's head such a kick that Joan required stitches.

To prepare, Joan, who knew Bette had a history of back problems, strapped on a weightlifters' belt to make herself as heavy as possible. \"There is a way of making it easy on the actor who is doing the carrying, but Crawford wanted Bette to suffer,\" director Robert Aldrich later said.

Bette and Joan got rich all over again, thanks to the profit percentages they had agreed to in the budget negotiations. The movie also raked it in with five Oscar nods total.

She actively campaigned against Bette during the Oscar season and hatched a secret plan to humiliate her at the ceremony. Bette lost that year's title to Anne Bancroft and couldn't believe her eyes when none other than Joan, herself, waltzed on stage to collect the award.

Both stars agreed, but the film was immediately plagued by drama.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First, the production had to be delayed a month due to Joan wanting to attend a Pepsi sales conference. Once filming did start, Joan complained about no one coming to collect her and her team (a maid, a makeup artist and a hairdresser), after they had landed in Baton Rouge. She also complained about the accommodation, which was too close to garbage cans. Bette snapped, \"Oh, Joan, pull yourself together.

I might wind up on the cutting-room floor.\" And Bette's behavior on set didn't assuage that paranoia; Joan would say \"Hello\" or \"Good morning\" every day and Bette would simply ignore her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the shoot continued, Joan began complained of exhaustion and refused to work or speak to the director. The suspicion was that she planned to feign illness to get out of the movie. Insurance doctors and private detectives were involved and the studio's insurance company gave the director an ultimatum: either replace Joan or it's a wrap.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The film left Joan behind, who promptly checked herself into a hospital. Olivia de Havilland, a friend of Bette's, was selected as her replacement. Back on set, Bette toasted Joan's exit and Olivia's entrance with a glass full of Coca-Cola.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/08/bettedavisamen.gif\">\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-33542\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/08/bettedavisamen.gif\" alt=\"bette+davis+amen\" width=\"243\" height=\"225\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bette and Joan would never work together again.

The rapper, one of the founding fathers of the hyphy movement, has added commercial success in the \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/2015/07/10/eye-of-the-sluricane-a-dispatch-from-an-e-40-bottle-signing/\" target=\"_blank\">adult beverage industry\u003c/a> to his roster of far-ranging achievements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But community-minded titan of Bay Area rap that he is, it should hardly be surprising that E-40 (real name: Earl Stevens) likes to pay some of that success forward. In an appearance Aug. 23 at Franklin Middle School in Vallejo -- the school Stevens, a Vallejo native, attended -- the rapper announced he was donating $25,000 in backpacks and other school supplies to help kick the school year off right.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"School is everything,\" he told KTVU reporters, who captured the event in a video below. The former honor roll student is especially heartfelt in talking about his Vallejo pride: \"I just want to be an example, an inspiration, tell [students] you can make it.\" Stevens also wants us to know he spared no expense on the quality of the donated goods. Those backpacks are Jansport.

Apparently, folk of yesteryear believed that witches could place a spell on a pregnant woman by turning her unborn baby into kittens. As if that wasn’t bad enough, it was also believed that these kittens would begin to scratch at the woman’s womb.

All you need to know is that Brits love tea so much that we basically invented a way to describe an exceptionally good cup of tea: “That went down a treat.” The phrase can, of course, be applied to anything that’s just given you pleasure or won your approval. Why not apply it to a sweet gift, a funny joke or a particularly well-constructed Powerpoint presentation? (Incidentally, the sample usage \u003ca href=\"http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/go+down+a+treat\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">provided by the Cambridge Dictionary of Idioms\u003c/a> is “His animal impressions went down a treat with the children”, which might be the finest exemplar ever.)\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: left\">“To take the piss [out of someone/something]”\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Meaning:\u003c/strong> to mock.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Example usage: “Carly couldn’t hide her tears, as the townspeople took the piss out of her pathetic party.”\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_33440\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-33440\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/08/15216299853_d5332b5f67_z.jpg\" alt=\"Potentially a merciless piss-taking captured on camera.

Pedia\u003c/a>, this phrase refers to the outdated British expression “piss-proud”, which itself refers to the ... uh, heightened state a chap might find himself in upon waking in the morning with a dire need to pee. This (obviously?) translates into a metaphorical sense of false “pride”, so in this context “taking the piss” out of aforementioned chap would deflate that pride (and more besides). If you’ve ever read a Shakespeare play, you’ll know that we find all this penis stuff \u003cem>really\u003c/em> funny.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid='pop_98046']VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: “Taking the piss” also has a secondary, same-but-different meaning when applied to someone who is outrageously taking liberties, acting in bad faith or behaving in such a way that makes a mockery of something. (“Charging $2,000 for his dreadful painting? He is really taking the piss with that one.”) Delightfully, this usage seems to have its roots in the fascinating field of canal-based chicanery (click \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taking_the_piss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here \u003c/a>for more on that).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And finally, as promised…\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: left\">“Come a cropper”\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Meaning: \u003c/strong>to fall or trip.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Example usage: “As Carly fled her party in tears, she came a cropper on the croquet lawn.”\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_33442\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-33442\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/08/15343579766_8997e424db_z.jpg\" alt=\"A man, coming a cropper.

Apparently, folk of yesteryear believed that witches could place a spell on a pregnant woman by turning her unborn baby into kittens. As if that wasn’t bad enough, it was also believed that these kittens would begin to scratch at the woman’s womb. This superstition led many women who were experiencing the total normal abdominal pains that come with pregnancy to think that they had fallen victim to a witch’s feline spell.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: left\">“Go down a treat”\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Meaning: \u003c/strong>to be received or consumed happily (esp. tea or cake).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Example usage: “At least Carly’s birthday cake went down a treat.”\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_33437\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-33437\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/08/15832542620_9a15bb10d7_z.jpg\" alt=\"A delicious cup of tea that will almost certainly go down a treat.

All you need to know is that Brits love tea so much that we basically invented a way to describe an exceptionally good cup of tea: “That went down a treat.” The phrase can, of course, be applied to anything that’s just given you pleasure or won your approval. Why not apply it to a sweet gift, a funny joke or a particularly well-constructed Powerpoint presentation?

This (obviously?) translates into a metaphorical sense of false “pride”, so in this context “taking the piss” out of aforementioned chap would deflate that pride (and more besides).

Why do you need a personal brand? How do you differentiate yourself and create a brand identity and strategy?

She's gotten into hot water before by allegedly misrepresenting herself as an MBA pedigreed by\u003ca href=\"http://jezebel.com/5937660/tyra-banks-needs-to-stop-lying-about-going-to-harvard-business-school\" target=\"_blank\"> Harvard Business School\u003c/a> (she did graduate from the school's \"Owner/President Management\" program in 2012). But anyone who would doubt her qualifications in the field of branding and entrepreneurship should also note that at 42, she's ranked repeatedly on \u003cem>TIME\u003c/em> magazine's list of the world's most influential people; she successfully transitioned from modeling -- an industry many women age out of by 25 -- into helming her own veritable business empire; and she's currently worth an estimated\u003ca href=\"http://en.mediamass.net/people/tyra-banks/highest-paid.html\" target=\"_blank\"> $185 million\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also, surprising exactly zero people who have any experience with \u003cem>her\u003c/em> personal brand, Banks \u003ca href=\"http://www.wsj.com/articles/tyra-banks-to-teach-stanford-m-b-a-class-1471798434\" target=\"_blank\">told the \u003cem>Wall Street Journal\u003c/em>\u003c/a> that she has no plans to be a softie as a professor. “If I see somebody not paying attention, I’m gonna call on them,\" she said. She also aims to keep students off their cell phones in class -- unless they feel the need to “tweet something I’ve said.” That's lesson A1 in personal branding, maybe: If someone wants to talk about you on social media, you let them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And for those of us who have the misfortune to not currently be enrolled as business students at Stanford? We can plan our outfits really well, plot strategic visits to Palo Alto's most fashionable shops and restaurants, and burn incense at homemade altars featuring pictures of her face in the hopes that the universe will smize upon us and place Tyra Banks in our path without the mandate of an advanced-level university course.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Or, you know, we can do what Tyra would probably want us to do: \u003ca href=\"https://www.gsb.stanford.edu/programs/mba/admission/deadlines\" target=\"_blank\">Get to work\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Police reports, security footage, and testimony from witnesses contradict Lochte's original statement. \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetorch/2016/08/18/490491448/rio-official-on-lochtegate-lets-give-these-kids-a-break\">As NPR reported\u003c/a>, Rio's Civil Police chief said \"multiple witnesses have described a scene in which the swimmers vandalized the bathroom, were asked to pay for it, and got testy.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After contradictory accounts of the alleged robbery surfaced, Mario Andrada, communications director for Rio 2016, came to the defense of Lochte and his companions. \"Let's give these kids a break.

It's part of life. Life goes on. Let's go.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lochte has also suggested it's time to move on.

Huffington Post editor Emma Gray \u003ca href=\"http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/ryan-lochte-gabby-douglas-and-white-male-privilege-in-action_us_57b5e76de4b034dc73262f93\">had this to say\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"Douglas, who is just 20 years old, failed to put her hand on her heart during the national anthem, and did not style her hair and/or face to every individual's liking. For those 'crimes,' she was widely criticized for being 'disprespectful,' 'unpatriotic' and 'un-American,' and called words that we'd rather not repeat in this piece. Lochte and friends reportedly defiled a gas station restroom, fought with a security officer, lied to national news sources, and may have filed a false police report. And the four of them get to be framed as talented 'kids' (reminder: Lochte is 32) having one debaucherous night of fun.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The vast gap between these two public perceptions has everything to do with the identities of the people involved. Lochte is a straight, white man, who has long been beloved for his pretty face, doofy personality and charmingly slow demeanor during interviews. Douglas is a young, black woman who has battled racialized critiques of her appearance and attitude for years, despite winning three Olympic gold medals.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>In an article for Nylon, Kristin Iverson writes that the public's reaction to Lochte wouldn't be so off-putting had it not come so shortly after Douglas was \"viciously dragged through the court of public opinion,\" and argues that gender also played into the vitriol. \u003ca href=\"http://www.nylon.com/articles/ryan-lochte-lies-white-privilege\">She continues\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"We also happen to live in a society wherein women are mercilessly grilled about the minutiae of any accusations they level at men, where women are warned again and again that they \u003ca href=\"http://www.nylon.com/articles/amy-schumer-twitter-blocking-kurt-metzger?utm_source=internal&utm_medium=web&utm_campaign=article-page&utm_content=trending-articles\">could be ruining men's lives\u003c/a>, where women are tacitly implored to keep silent rather than speak out, lest their stories of having their lives permanently altered, disrupt a man's life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Yet here is Ryan Lochte, who traded in on the not slightly xenophobic fears of crime in Rio, to paint himself as a victim of an armed robbery rather than admit the truth: He and his jock friends (\u003ca href=\"http://www.esquire.com/news-politics/news/a47751/ryan-lochte-robbed-passports/?src=socialflowTW\">who have since told police\u003c/a> that Lochte made the whole robbery story up) got drunk, destructive, and caught, and had to pay up. And here we are, making jokes and laughing at his actions, rather than seriously thinking about what it means that a privileged white male American can literally piss wherever he wants, lie about it, and fly away from his problems, when other people, who aren't white and aren't men, can be shamed, ostracized, and harshly censured for not smiling enough while \"The Star Spangled Banner\" plays.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Of course, not everyone thinks it's fair to compare the Lochte story with what happened to Douglas. As one representative Twitter user \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/joangvs/status/766693385100988416\">wrote\u003c/a>, \"You people with the Ryan Lochte white privilege! Get over it. Not everything is about race. Sometimes it's just about being stupid.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And given Brazil's complicated history of colonialism, slavery and interracial marriage — Brazilians call their country \u003ca href=\"http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/world/brazils-colour-bind/article25779474/\">the most racially mixed on earth\u003c/a> — it's probably reductive to accuse Lochte, who never physically described his alleged assailants, of using black or brown people as scapegoats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Brazil, \"the difference between black and white is not so black-and-white,\" writes Tim Rogers in \u003ca href=\"http://fusion.net/story/274184/that-moment-you-look-in-the-mirror-and-realize-youre-black/\">a piece over at Fusion\u003c/a> on racial identity in this corner of the world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Arguably, Lochte's own background — he's half Cuban, another country with an extremely complex racial history — further complicates that narrative. But in a piece for Bustle, Cristina Arreola \u003ca href=\"http://www.bustle.com/articles/179443-ryan-lochtes-white-privilege-is-way-more-complicated-than-you-think\">pushes back\u003c/a> on that idea:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"Ryan Lochte doesn't get a pass on white privilege because he's Latino, though. No question about it, blue-haired dude-bro has white privilege in spades. You probably didn't even know he's Cuban-American, since it's not apparent in his appearance or his skin color or his name. Even if he is technically Latino, he appears to be white and so the world treats him as such.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So what does it mean to have \u003ca href=\"http://everydayfeminism.com/2015/09/white-passing-poc-privilege/\" target=\"_blank\">white privilege as a person of color\u003c/a>? It means he meets the white standard of beauty. It means he won't be questioned about his immigration status. He won't be the target of racist assaults. He won't be unjustly targeted by police officers because of the color of his skin. There are countless ways in which he benefits from his white skin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Lochte is a white-passing person of color, which doesn't excuse his actions, but instead, makes them infinitely more disappointing. He's been given an incredible platform to speak on behalf of Latinos and POC who don't have his privileges, and instead he's squandered that opportunity.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before the Olympics draw to a close on Sunday night, there will be more news to celebrate of athletes accomplishing great feats. It will be interesting to see whose accomplishments get lauded, and how. But the U.S. will leave Rio with an impression no one can be thrilled about: that of the \"\u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/mark-purdy/ci_30264791/purdy-if-lochte-craved-attention-he-got-it\">ugly American\u003c/a>,\" who gets to walk away from a mess of his own making, while others have to live with it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2016 NPR.

For those 'crimes,' she was widely criticized for being 'disprespectful,' 'unpatriotic' and 'un-American,' and called words that we'd rather not repeat in this piece. Lochte and friends reportedly defiled a gas station restroom, fought with a security officer, lied to national news sources, and may have filed a false police report. And the four of them get to be framed as talented 'kids' (reminder: Lochte is 32) having one debaucherous night of fun.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The vast gap between these two public perceptions has everything to do with the identities of the people involved. Lochte is a straight, white man, who has long been beloved for his pretty face, doofy personality and charmingly slow demeanor during interviews. Douglas is a young, black woman who has battled racialized critiques of her appearance and attitude for years, despite winning three Olympic gold medals.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>In an article for Nylon, Kristin Iverson writes that the public's reaction to Lochte wouldn't be so off-putting had it not come so shortly after Douglas was \"viciously dragged through the court of public opinion,\" and argues that gender also played into the vitriol. \u003ca href=\"http://www.nylon.com/articles/ryan-lochte-lies-white-privilege\">She continues\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"We also happen to live in a society wherein women are mercilessly grilled about the minutiae of any accusations they level at men, where women are warned again and again that they \u003ca href=\"http://www.nylon.com/articles/amy-schumer-twitter-blocking-kurt-metzger?utm_source=internal&utm_medium=web&utm_campaign=article-page&utm_content=trending-articles\">could be ruining men's lives\u003c/a>, where women are tacitly implored to keep silent rather than speak out, lest their stories of having their lives permanently altered, disrupt a man's life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Yet here is Ryan Lochte, who traded in on the not slightly xenophobic fears of crime in Rio, to paint himself as a victim of an armed robbery rather than admit the truth: He and his jock friends (\u003ca href=\"http://www.esquire.com/news-politics/news/a47751/ryan-lochte-robbed-passports/?src=socialflowTW\">who have since told police\u003c/a> that Lochte made the whole robbery story up) got drunk, destructive, and caught, and had to pay up. And here we are, making jokes and laughing at his actions, rather than seriously thinking about what it means that a privileged white male American can literally piss wherever he wants, lie about it, and fly away from his problems, when other people, who aren't white and aren't men, can be shamed, ostracized, and harshly censured for not smiling enough while \"The Star Spangled Banner\" plays.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Of course, not everyone thinks it's fair to compare the Lochte story with what happened to Douglas. As one representative Twitter user \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/joangvs/status/766693385100988416\">wrote\u003c/a>, \"You people with the Ryan Lochte white privilege! Get over it. Not everything is about race. Sometimes it's just about being stupid.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And given Brazil's complicated history of colonialism, slavery and interracial marriage — Brazilians call their country \u003ca href=\"http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/world/brazils-colour-bind/article25779474/\">the most racially mixed on earth\u003c/a> — it's probably reductive to accuse Lochte, who never physically described his alleged assailants, of using black or brown people as scapegoats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Brazil, \"the difference between black and white is not so black-and-white,\" writes Tim Rogers in \u003ca href=\"http://fusion.net/story/274184/that-moment-you-look-in-the-mirror-and-realize-youre-black/\">a piece over at Fusion\u003c/a> on racial identity in this corner of the world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Arguably, Lochte's own background — he's half Cuban, another country with an extremely complex racial history — further complicates that narrative. But in a piece for Bustle, Cristina Arreola \u003ca href=\"http://www.bustle.com/articles/179443-ryan-lochtes-white-privilege-is-way-more-complicated-than-you-think\">pushes back\u003c/a> on that idea:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"Ryan Lochte doesn't get a pass on white privilege because he's Latino, though. No question about it, blue-haired dude-bro has white privilege in spades. You probably didn't even know he's Cuban-American, since it's not apparent in his appearance or his skin color or his name. Even if he is technically Latino, he appears to be white and so the world treats him as such.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So what does it mean to have \u003ca href=\"http://everydayfeminism.com/2015/09/white-passing-poc-privilege/\" target=\"_blank\">white privilege as a person of color\u003c/a>? It means he meets the white standard of beauty. It means he won't be questioned about his immigration status. He won't be the target of racist assaults. He won't be unjustly targeted by police officers because of the color of his skin. There are countless ways in which he benefits from his white skin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Lochte is a white-passing person of color, which doesn't excuse his actions, but instead, makes them infinitely more disappointing. He's been given an incredible platform to speak on behalf of Latinos and POC who don't have his privileges, and instead he's squandered that opportunity.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"Ond8RsVdxn21qkKt52SDZ4vhoveUYqHJ\"]In the fall of 2002, Justin Timberlake launched his solo career. He needed it to work or he would have to grow old singing \u003cem>Girl, this\u003c/em> and \u003cem>Girl, that\u003c/em> with a gang of just okay singers. So he released \"Cry Me a River,\" an anthem for the cuckolded that would get coverage in all the gossip magazines, as his second single. Before we even had time to speculate about who would dare cheat on America's Boy Next Door, Justin released a video featuring an actress who looks exactly like Britney Spears, his former girlfriend, just to make sure we knew exactly who to shame.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DksSPZTZES0\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIjgCn6JkXU\">a Barbara Walters interview\u003c/a> around this time, he said he would always love Britney and she could always turn to him if she ever needed anything, and then proceeded to suggest that Britney went back on her vow to stay a virgin until marriage and shared an unreleased song with the lyrics:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Thought our love was so strong, I guess I was dead wrong, but to look at it positively, Hey, girl, at least you gave me another song about a horrible woman.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Insert every eye-roll gif you can find here. Sure, he has the right to write about his life. Where it gets gross is the malicious revenge fantasy, coupled with pretending to be an innocent abused puppy. This was never about catharsis. This was about sacrificing Britney's reputation for a hit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A little over a year later, he would use a tweaked version of this get-more-famous-with-the-help-of-a-celebrity-woman-and-drop-her-when-she's-no-longer-useful model. Remember how Justin got an opening act gig on Janet Jackson's tour, allegedly dated her behind the scenes for publicity, and then \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/2016/02/04/nipplegate-revisited-why-america-owes-janet-jackson-a-huge-apology/\">let America tear her apart after he ripped her top off during the Super Bowl Halftime Show\u003c/a>?

He needed it to work or he would have to grow old singing \u003cem>Girl, this\u003c/em> and \u003cem>Girl, that\u003c/em> with a gang of just okay singers. So he released \"Cry Me a River,\" an anthem for the cuckolded that would get coverage in all the gossip magazines, as his second single. Before we even had time to speculate about who would dare cheat on America's Boy Next Door, Justin released a video featuring an actress who looks exactly like Britney Spears, his former girlfriend, just to make sure we knew exactly who to shame.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/DksSPZTZES0'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/DksSPZTZES0'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>In \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIjgCn6JkXU\">a Barbara Walters interview\u003c/a> around this time, he said he would always love Britney and she could always turn to him if she ever needed anything, and then proceeded to suggest that Britney went back on her vow to stay a virgin until marriage and shared an unreleased song with the lyrics:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Thought our love was so strong, I guess I was dead wrong, but to look at it positively, Hey, girl, at least you gave me another song about a horrible woman.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Insert every eye-roll gif you can find here. Sure, he has the right to write about his life. Where it gets gross is the malicious revenge fantasy, coupled with pretending to be an innocent abused puppy. This was never about catharsis. This was about sacrificing Britney's reputation for a hit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A little over a year later, he would use a tweaked version of this get-more-famous-with-the-help-of-a-celebrity-woman-and-drop-her-when-she's-no-longer-useful model. Remember how Justin got an opening act gig on Janet Jackson's tour, allegedly dated her behind the scenes for publicity, and then \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/2016/02/04/nipplegate-revisited-why-america-owes-janet-jackson-a-huge-apology/\">let America tear her apart after he ripped her top off during the Super Bowl Halftime Show\u003c/a>? You probably forgot Justin was even there because he left her high and dry in the aftermath to preserve his career, and got away with it too because the patriarchy is a mighty force.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
