Why is Ronan Farrow so hated here? Is it because he continues to support his mother and his sister and calls out sacred cow Woody Allen? Or because he still has one foot in the closet? I can imagine the panic that ensues if another one of those entitled pigs gets a call asking for an interview or a quote because so and so has gone on the record with allegations of sexual harassment. That's power. And he's using it for good. There are plenty of closeted phonies who deserve the disdain he receives here. Plenty.

Ronan has blue eyes but so does Mia Farrow. Ronan is really smart and Sinatra was just ordinary. Woody is smart. Really high intelligent isn't very common. Just the opposite - but it does seem to be hereditary.
I'm sure Ronan has done the DNA and both he and Mia both know who is father is. If Sinatra was Ronana's biological father this info would have been widely disseminated. if I had to make it bet ,, my money would be on Woody being Ronan's daddy ...

That term is for gay men to use in a non-bullying way. Gay Men only. Context matters. If I suspect it's being used by a fish or dyke, that's different then it's not okay. It's is being used to harass non-heterostandartive Gay Men by other Gay Men then it's not okay. (Unless they vote against Gay Rights like Lindsey Graham) It should be used as a celebration of Gayness. It's absolutely fair to use it when discussing Ronan Farrow or Joan or Bette.

You're trying too hard. Next time, give yourself a few minutes to cool off, proofread your stuff, and remember not to go overboard with the hostility. Good trolling means dragging the troll out for more than one or two replies; you want a whole thread out of it, and you don't want the seams to show.

He would really help himself out, if he learned to do his own makeup, especially when he is on GMA. The first time I ever wore makeup, was in middle school when I was in a play. They got the mother of one of my costars to come in and do our makeup, because she was a "professional," what they really meant is she worked the Clinque counter at a local department store. We all ended up looking like a cross between Tammy Fay and Ronald McDonald. We had two more days of performances. So that night, I got my mother to show me how to put it on, and for the next two performances I did my own. The guys in school complimented me because I was, in their words, the only one who didn't look like a fag. I did numerous other plays all the way through college, and I always did my own, even when I appeared on local TV to promote them and people always said how natural I looked compared to other people.

I like his work and what he does. I get a Madonna/GOOP level of pretension from him, even just his manner of speaking, that tells me my skin would crawl in his company. I loathe self-important people as much as Madonna loathes hydrangeas.

He's in a relationship with Jon Lovett, former Obama staffer, co-owner of Crooked Media (Pod Save America, Lovett or Leave It, etc.)

R141 Pod Save America had a live HBO run that I found difficult to watch, but I found Lovett in particular tedious and grating. Too much performance.

Ronan liked a family photo posted by Nancy Sinatra about missing her father. Awkward!
He also liked this babyfaced Norwegian bodybuilder’s picture. And it turns out Ronan is one of the guy’s 870 followers. Jon, you in danger gurrrrl.

I like Ronan’s appearance because he is so odd looking. His face is *so* pretty. Sometimes. And other times it’s really bizarre looking. I think that sort of ugly-pretty thing is more engaging and for a longer time than a cookie-cutter handsome face.
Does anyone know how tall he is? He looks like a little person in some seated interviews. Something about the proportions of his head and hands is...atypical.

Yes. He's transitioning from an egotistical asshole with major Daddy issues to an insufferable egotistical asshole with major Daddy issues.

R146 All true. He is also, so far, an extraordinary journalist because of the educational privileges he has had. Most of the rest of the field is bloggers who think their tribal opinions can be called reporting or, at best, BuzzFeed-level journalism knowledge. He’s better than all that. He has actual standards. He recently would not report on a story that BuzzFeed reported and every single news outlet relayed—which was soon discredited—because he said he couldn’t verify sources’ info with, like, actual facts. So you have to give him that. He is far better than most in his field so far.

BuzzFeed News has done some excellent reporting and I don't think you can call them mere bloggers. The MSM isn't fond of them and sees them as interlopers, but they've reported on things skittish American journalists avoid because of being beholden to corporate o4 conservative interests.

They should re-boot Peyton Place and have Ronan as Allison's son named Al Lisson.

Instagram is fascinating to me because it lets you see who people follow and what they “like.” Ronan follows a lot of basic white Instagram hos who are pumped up, shirtless on beaches and in gyms, and add vapid inspirational sayings. And he likes comments that tell him he is hot, beautiful, brilliant, etc. And nothing is wrong about any of that, but it is completely contrary to his Yale JD sexual-harasser-busting superjournalist persona. If you didn’t know what he writes and how he presents himself publicly and looked only at his Instagram behaviors, you might think he spends all his days whacking off to porn and looking for anonymous sex on Grindr. There’s nothing about that that *really* contradicts his search-and-destroy mission for actual sex abusers, but it just seems philosophically at odds to me.

My opinion based entirely on being nerd-adjacent and nothing else is that Ronan looks like a little cherub and has gotten attention for it for decades, but he is, deep down, a total nerd, and as such has problems with social interaction. He wants praise for his looks like all cute guys, but doesn't have the ability to be cool and nonchalant about it. Thus, he hits LIKE at lightning speed everytime someone says he looks good.

He is not hated at all, he is venerated. Even though a lot of his "scoops" came through access (through his mom), and collaborations

Ronan looks nothing whatsoever like Sinatra or Woody Allen, and, as has been noted, exactly like a clone of his Ma.
Parthenogenesis, anyone?
