Betcha She Doesn't Follow Through

Liberal actress Debra Messing, best known for her star role in “Will &Grace,” is not happy with the New York Times and plans to cancel her subscription. Her reason? The paper’s journalism.

What happened?

The Times on Thursday published a relatively positive profile on conservative commentator Ben Shapiro, who this year has taken the nation by storm. Shapiro has become one of the most influential voices on the right, especially among younger conservatives and libertarians, and his podcast and news website are among the most viewed and listened to in politics.
It would only make sense for the Times, given its status as the leading national newspaper, to profile Shapiro. But not everyone was happy; enter Debra Messing.

What did she say?

Messing replied to a tweet about the Shapiro profile on Friday explaining that she had cancelled her New York Times subscription because of the profile.

Messing’s tweet came in response to liberal journalist Eric Boehlert, who said the Shapiro profile was part of the reason Donald Trump is president.



Messing is an outspoken liberal who routinely posts anti-Trump, anti-Second Amendment statements and pictures to her Twitter account. She even spoke at the 2016 Democratic National Convention.

Mum-of-two Antonia said: “We were by the bar and he was saying bye to everyone. He came up to me and put his face in my breasts.
“He went ‘brrrrrr’ and just walked away. It  was surreal, totally out of the blue. Joss and I were like, ‘What the hell was that?!’ Everyone was wondering why I wasn’t angry because I’m usually a firebrand. But I was just too shocked.”
The singer said she and Joss, 30, recorded a video shortly after to capture their astonishment.
Antonia, from Lauderdale Lakes, Florida, said Branson had been drinking but did not seem drunk.

She added: “We’d spent the day chilling out, touring the island. We had lunch and dinner.
“We were in the pool and there was a big, beautiful statue of a goddess there with her boobs out.
“Richard Branson tried to get me to show him my boobs and I said: ‘No!’ I was wearing a one-piece swimsuit and at the time I was very heavy chested.”

They said: “It was a hell of a party. Richard made a bit of a beeline for Antonia. Something definitely went on between them.
“She didn’t say what it was, or if she’d been upset. But undeniably they had a physical encounter.”
Antonia claims the next day Branson’s assistant invited her to use his private jet to fly to the US.
She shared the plane, dubbed the Galactic Girl, with the tycoon and his wife Joan.

Antonia, married to Sean Woods, 47, for 13 years, said: “It was the most awkward ride to Miami. He was asking about my husband. There wasn’t a lot of conversation. I didn’t tell my husband when I got home. I wasn’t sure what to say!”
She later told her mum and a pal about the 2010 party. But she did not speak out publicly in detail despite naming Branson on Facebook. The Sun has seen her post from October 2016. It said: “Women are coming forward. I believe them. It happened to me. By Sir Richard Branson. In front of the international singer I worked for.”

“Richard has no recollection of this matter. Neither do his family and friends who were with him at the time. There would never have been any intention to offend or make anyone feel uncomfortable. Richard apologises if anyone felt that way.”
Joss’s dad Richard Stoker was among the guests. He said: “Joss and the group had a wonderful afternoon. Everybody entered into the party spirit. It was wonderful getting to know Richard and his family.”
