She doesn't deserve hate and animosity, but this was definitely the right decision. Her pacing and flow never worked for the game, while Ken seemed to take to it much more adeptly. His hosting feels natural and easy and he comes off amiable and charismatic.

No? A science-denier and anti-vaxxer who shills her brand of vitamin supplements? I'm sorry, I think she deserves exactly that and I'm glad she's fucking gone.

What’s more maddening is that she has a phd in neuroscience from UCLA.

And Dr Oz used to be a world leading cardio thoracic surgeon. They let their feelings get in the way. Which isn't strictly a bad thing, but in these cases it has certainly clouded their judgement.

Fame is a hell of a drug I guess.

She also has comments disabled on her Instagram, wonder why?

[–] [email protected] -3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I mean, that shouldn't mean that she shouldn't have a job tho

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I think she'll be alright

[–] [email protected] -1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

If she gets hired for another show, wouldn't you say she should be fired from that show too though?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

If that show's audience doesn't care for her, absolutely yes

[–] [email protected] -1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

So you're saying she should be allowed to be a host or star in a different show?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

... Yes? What's your deal, dude? I just said she'll be alright, as in, she's already wealthy and connected and I'm sure she'll have other opportunities.

I never said she didn't deserve to make a living or anything like that.

Ah okay. Usually people who use the same rhetoric you did ("she's antivaxx so it's good that she got fired") usually want these types of people barred from employment but I didn't want to make assumptions about you without getting a straight answer first.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

You made 1000 assumptions before they even made one. Be better.
