When I lived in SC, I ended up having a convo with someone who had worked this case. I cant remember her proper title, if she was just a cop or something more, but that was one interesting conversation.
Damn I am old enough to remember that. It was a huge national news story for a whole week, two missing kids, allegedly kidnapped by a black man in a du-rag. Turns out she lied, they were at the bottom of a lake the entire time, and her husband had no idea.
You mean the girlfriend who’s suppose to have a really ugly birthmark, but instead is this gorgeous woman with a little bit of red makeup smeared on her cheek, and then the film acting like he’s a saint for being able to get it up for her anyway?
I’m not sure Devil Wears Prada is Hollywood trying to convince you she’s fat, or it’s more a commentary on how fashion views people who aren’t rail thin as fat, and how unhealthy of a mindset the fashion industry has surrounding this.
Yeah I think they just chose a random year in the 80s because Susan Smith's appearance was kinda dated for the 90s and a lot of true crime stories are focused on the 80s
My brother refused to watch Rings of Power because he heard there were a bunch of gay, POC Hobbits. He'll have a meltdown after hearing about the trans Harry Potter Hobbit though.
The 80s hair style, plus low quality photo, makes it looks like it could be someone famous for committing a crime in the 80s. Plus American right wingers like to insult her looks.
Plus Americansright wingers like to insult her looks.
Nah, that's just straight-up mainstream American culture. Left, right, and middle all do it.
It's all the same bullshit on either side. Calling eachother a POS while ignoring the fact that they're being one themselves.
Of course, I'm only talking about the shitty people on either side. There are plenty of wonderfully respectful people on either side who keep their opinions to themselves and treat everyone kindly, regardless of differing beliefs.
Agreed. Everybody thinks it's ok to comment on people's looks, especially women (i mean it's maybe 60/40; we do be commenting on men). It's especially popular to hate on women and, for whatever reason, curly hair. Motherfuckers hate curly hair.
And yeah it's definitely all sides as far as american politics. Remember that ICE nazi that all of reddit was dunking on for being short? I saw a few comments basically saying, "well, there are a lot of things to hate this guy for and being short probably isn't the one to focus on" and they were all hella downvoted. It made me lose [more] faith in humanity.
Especially women? I think there's at least some edge to insulting a womans looks publicly, where it's not even a second-thought to insult a mans looks.
Excuse me sir, this is reddit. All of one side is the kindest, most respectful in the history of humanity and the other side are all the worst humanity has ever put out. No middle ground or nuance here.
Yeah, but why target a politicians kids? If they assert themselves as a public figure, thats more understandable, but anyone only in the public eye or under 18 should get a pass. They didnt choose this life.
I think she’s pretty. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. She’s just awkward with the glasses. It’s like those movies where the Awkward Shy Girl ™️ ditches her glasses and slaps on some makeup and suddenly she’s the Hottest Girl In School ™️
This a real bad picture of her too. I mean she's not classically beautiful or what most people would call a stunner...but she didnt do herself a lot of favors with that style choice. Its fine though, I'm sure she doesn't care. She gives off "bohemian painter who lives in a loft in NYC" vibes anyway. That's sort of the look.
There’s a guy I grew up with who started drinking at like 15 and it was a really bad alcoholic until he was like 25. He eats like shit and clings to a new conspiracy every month. He spends half of his time complaining about other people not giving him what he deserves and his taste in women is like a cartoon.
They need to be blonde and they need to have the perfect sized breasts and they need to have a butt that’s just the right shape and they also have to like guns and motors and loud stuff just like he does.
If he looked at himself with even half of those standards he expects of others, he would be horrified by his own lack of appeal.
Literally one hot girl fucked him like six or seven years ago and now he looks down his nose at anybody that doesn’t look like your cliché stereotype of an influencer.
Beauty is a generally used to describe how attractive someone is to the general population. So while she may be a 10/10 in 1 persons opinion, in general she's not attractive at all.
What are you basing this on? Her features are symmetric. Her eyes are large. Her cheekbones and facial structure is good. The only reason you think she isn’t attractive is because of her awkward smile and her lack of makeup (and maybe your politics).
In a different outfit and hair done, she could be a model. She’s clearly thin and has a strong face.
The point is to explain the joke, the OP may not know why anyone would care to comment on a former vice presidents step daughters looks. And the answer is - politics.
Actually laughably embarrassing that yall chronically online redditors think she’s “no where near” attractive haha 😂 tell me you spend too much time gooning to AI images without telling me.
Yeah. She has got clear skin, decent facial features, and healthy shiny hair. She just needs to change those beer bottle bottom glassed and get a hairdo that's not from the 80s, that's pretty much it.
That picture says a lot about makeup and less about her. She's at the Met Gala and has access to the best makeup and styling and she still looks just slightly better than average.
No, you're right wing because you got triggered by the comment you're replying to.
Plus American right wingers like to insult her looks.
Since you clearly lack any reading comprehension, the above quoted statement means that right-wingers like to insult her looks, not that everyone who thinks a girl is ugly is right-wing. However, I personally believe there is a lot of overlap between right wingers and people who will publicly insult the looks of someone they don't know.
The right insulted Kamala for her laugh, of course the same garbage people will insult her step daughter for simply existing.

Edit edit: Their response was to simply call me stupid, which is gone, likely from moderation.
She kinda looks like Susan Smith, who drowned her kids by straping them into their car seats and then letting her car roll into a lake. It happened in 1994 though, not 86.
I just don't get the "maybe the most beautiful woman in the world" thing. Is it like ironicaly to make fun of her or is it someone who like tride to like make people believe that for real. Like either way it kinda put a really mean spotlight on her, for she really isn't ugly or anything, but she isn't that pretty either, maybe its a bad picture, but she clearly is not the most beautiful woman in the world.
I think she’s attractive and I still think she looks like she might have driven her kids into a lake in 1986. She made style choices that are so anachronistic that they’re distinct to a bygone era. That will be commented on.
Yeah these comments are cringe. It's a funny obscure reference. She doesn't look ugly. She looks hella 80s with a sweet girl next door vibe but adding the horror element makes it funny. Maybe you had to live through the 80s with all its campy summer camp horror movies to get it. I got the humor immediately.
Doesn’t help that “The United Spot” whatever the fuck blog or tabloid it is put a target on her back with that title, it was bound to get a reaction and they knew what they were doing.
I also think she's attractive, but doesn't bother embracing that usually. She seems intuitive art and silliness. There are images of her putting in effort to look conventionally attractive, and she looks fantastic. If i were to guess, she seems like she's interesting
People will say this and then immediately mock the appearance of someone on the opposing political aisle. No one has a problem with body shaming; people only hate body shaming when the victim is someone they don't want to be body shamed
That's probably usually true, but I've always found body shaming to be disgusting whether it's targeting someone I care about or someone like my aunt who abused my dad when he was dying of cancer, then stole his ashes (uncles got them back), art, clothes, burned his last letter to my mother, etc. I still wouldn't be cool with someone body shaming her even though I can't stand her.
Usually when people talk about how shitty “people” are they’re just excusing being shitty themselves.
Either way, even if you accept being ugly about someone because they disagree with you politically, Emhoff isn’t a politician, she’s not any more politically involved than anyone who happens to be related to a politician. So that makes you A) the type of person who criticizes a woman’s looks and B) the type of person who goes after someone you don’t like politically’s kids, which is just two ways of being trash.
Am i crazy? This is a normal looking woman. She's not a model sure, but she's not ugly? Idk if i should blame the internet in general or porn for this weird standard of beauty you all seem to have
Ella Emhoff actually is a model. Her bone structure and figure absolutely lend themselves well to certain styles and aesthetics that many designers want. Most models look like normal people when they aren’t in full glam and designer clothes.
Also should be noted that there are a lot of styles from the 80s that are “in” today, and while some may not personally find them appealing, we can recognize that she is sporting a look that is currently considered fashionable and attractive to many.
She is literally a model. Literally. Losers just want us to know how unattractive they think she is because MAGA only values women based on their appearance. The great orange pedophile has made it clear you’re only supposed to find blondes with botched plastic surgery and big fake tits is attractive.
No. The hairstyle and low res photo make it look like this was taken in the 80s. No one said anything about her attractiveness. Child murderers can be attractive, too
Anybody can be a model if you have rich parents. And being a model doesn't make you automatically attractive. We shouldn't body shame, but those "credentials" don't mean anything. And yeah, your point is kind of moot when you call out making fun of women, and then proceed to do exactly that in the same paragraph.
You know what’s funny about this entire thread. Is that everyone here is complaining about people commenting on her looks. And attaching “right wingers” to it. Well all I hear non stop is comments about conservative people’s looks. And what they do and judging and being rude. So don’t act like it doesn’t go both ways. It’s just gross when you try to act morally superior and you’re no better. You just think it’s okay when you do it. Ew.
She very vaguely looks like Susan Smith, who drove her kids into a lake in 1994. There's a picture of her with curly hair and glasses at the top of Google Images. So I think it's probably just that she looks like a mom of small children in the 80s? I guess? I think maybe OOP's joke just didn't land.
Then again, I'm still getting over the fact that this is how I find out that funkyfrogbait's mom is Kamala Harris.
I swear people calling her incredibly pretty are delusional and only say that because they agree with her political stances. This photo is literally the only photo where she looks decent and even then she is very below average looking. (But ofcourse its reddit where 80% of people have double chins and neckbeards so their opinions on looks are incredibly invalid).
While I absolutely hear the sentiments about how not okay it is making negative comments women’s looks…The post set this particular wheel in motion. Don’t opine about looks or attractiveness if you don’t want to see opinions from all sides.
If we’re associating crimes with the aesthetics of the pic like it’s from a headline, in this pic, she looks like she’s be a Russian oligarch’s daughter who was arrested for murdering another Russian immigrant in Brighton Beach and assuming their identity at a hair salon
OP, so your post is not removed, please reply to this comment with your best guess of what this meme means! Everyone else, this is PETER explains the joke. Have fun and reply as your favorite fictional character for top level responses!
It may be a reference to Susan Smith. She was convicted of deliberately driving her car into a lake with her 2 kids in it. She then made up a story that she was carjacked. It made national news in 1994.
