Ben Barnes, Part XXI

Whoever said they talked to PP, care to share more?

Ben throws people into swimming pools if they bring up Hyrise around him

R1 no.

Thanks, Ross!

Thanks, Ross!

Ross:

I just spent HOURS of my life reading through the last thread. Wow what a trip. I am having a bit of a come to Jesus moment though...we assume BB had relationships with women who have posted about him but never confirmed they slept with him themselves. What if none of these women did anything more than know him as a friend and we've all sat here for 20 threads assuming their entire lives, putting together timelines....based on what? A picture together? A friend making a joke on an ig post? Possible secret emojis in instagram stories? It's all pretty vague and silly. Maybe I need to log off DL for a while lol!!

R2 Saw that, it’s hysterical. What a nice little normal chitchat between friends on that post. That was back in 2014.

Now he’s Gone Hollywood.

R5 are you just going to keep posting this girl who may or may not have had anything to do with BB for years? shit is creepy. stop.

R7 I can confirm that all your previous threads full of speculation are indeed bullshit.

- Benjamin T Barnes

R10 lmao it would have been more believable if you hadn’t used Benjamin IMO

R5 this exchange looks to me like friends just joking around and we've full on posted this girl's info in a public forum for nothing. DL is for discussing public figures. how many other people joked about hooking up with a celebrity in the world? why are we assuming this is anything more than a joke? i don't like the idea of me joking with a friend in this way and then getting doxxed on any gossip site. ya'll did too much here.

To whoever asked about Brooke, she and Ben (along with the rest of Zelda's crew) have been friends for a very long time. As you can see from that post, yes he followed her all the way back then. Though he weirdly didn't allow her to follow him back until valentine's 2018. But no I don't think at all that means they were dating. I did however suspect at the time that Zelda's crew had a fuck you valentine's day get together and Ben went, especially considering the suspected relationship with Peyton had likely just ended a few weeks earlier.

I've personally never once gotten the more than friends vibe off them. I have gotten a bro/sis vibe often though. And that's basically all I "know."

You all deserve to be thrown in a pool

R13 That sums up my assessment as well, that it was just friends, a big friends group. She also frequently references a bf back then. I called out his comment on her post just b/c it’s the only time I’ve ever seen him comment with the private IG. And yes, a cute but normal exchange between friends.

R13 Was not suggesting Ben and Brooke were ever more than friends. I was saying it’s weird Ben and MY were ever suspected to be more when friends when you have similar evidence on her as other girls you consider to be just friends, except for the longer term friend group. And MY is incredibly boring and the human equivalent of a wet rag I don’t see them together

R16 Context is the difference. In 2013/2014, BB was super under the radar. Career was in the shitter, it was pre-Westworld. Also, no romantic vibe. Also, Brooke referenced a bf frequently. Fast forward to 2017-2028, it’s Westworld/Punisher time. He’s red carpeting. Hawking cologne. And MY’s posting pics handsy, kissy pics.

In my opinion, like some people said MY had a crush on him and was hoping for something more. She so bland I’m not sure anything ever happened

If Ben does read these forums do you think he has an account that can like/interact with posts? Maybe he’s posted here before

R18 I’m beginning more & more to think this. R19 No, I don’t think.

$1.99 would be well worth it just to fuck with you all

I met her once she is the definition of bland. Not going to give any details and out myself though so don’t ask

R21 Yes, but he can do that for free on Twitter. He prob reports all the twats who beg him to choke him. And barfs up his toast at all the fuglies who beg him and moon over him like his shit doesn’t stink.

Not gonna blame MY, if I had been part of his friends group I would have shot my shot too. Just sharing private pics wasn’t the best way

R23 I can’t find the original tweet but someone posted this story the other day and it made me actually lol. Their Darklina obsession knows no bounds I wouldn’t venture into that cesspool on Twitter if I were him

Get a life. Or at the very least go to another website.

R11 I use my full name when I wish to impart some gravitas to a situation.

Also it’s what Mummy calls me when I’m naughty. (She’s been using that quite a bit lately, hahaha).

- Benny B

R25 Worth the 3 minutes reading that drivel just for this gem: “The insecurities of being a lover to such an older man” Lololololol

Ben can thank the DL for Ben’s titty appreciation era

R26 Do you really think the owners of this site hate all the subscriptions or ad impression traffic these threads bring? I’m going to go out on a limb here and saw that’s probably the exact reason they choose to maintain this site. I don’t think we have violated any community guidelines (if those even exist here) so I’m not sure why people get so triggered by these threads

It smells like cheese up in this bitch

R14 Thank God we know how to swim.

And it seems people still unfortunately need to learn that everything is public on the internet *unless* you originally set yourself to private. Period. *Everyone* is a public figure if they're on the internet. Period. *Everything* that's posted to the internet is public. Period. The internet is public. Period. I'm sorry if you don't think it should be, but complaining here isn't going to remake the internet in your holy image. Though if it makes you feel better, there are privacy mechanisms we can employ available to us on the same internet. If we don't use them however, then all our shit is public and fair game. Period.

Once you remove the hormonal overload from this situation, you can see two things. Two girls didn't have context and unwisely had a fully public conversation. Before they could think better of it, someone caught their mistake and linked it here. Then someone found the girl and linked her public Instagram page. And that's all that happened here. It's a perfectly reasonable thought that *maybe* her IG was flooded with Ben fans after, so she did what any rational person who potentially realized a mistake would do, and made herself private. Now no one from the public can see her. And that's her right.

Nobody doxxed her. Nobody hacked her account and posted private nudes. Somebody linked her public IG after her public conversation made her suddenly interesting to one small corner of the public.

I genuinely hope that literally *EVERYONE* who reads this comes to fully understand. *EVERYTHING*. On. The. Internet. Is. Public. That delete button you think will save you? Let me assure you, the internet never forgets. There are no safe spaces, only hollow and naive expectations. So live your public life accordingly. Or if you can't, stay off the internet.

Exasperated rant over.

Spread cheese on this broke cracker

I am moist

R31 Oh good, the doxing troll is back for some incoherent psychobabble

Sending my coochie pictures to Ben Barnes right now

Nah I’m just messin’, you guys keep it up - Cheese man (I’m a dude)

R36 you are just begging to be doxed aren’t you

No, never I love these threads what do you mean

R37 R39 Rob, is that you? It sounds like you. Especially after that mad hair story you posted recently. 😂

Ohhhh were you noting and passing along things to your roomie Benny B? And afraid your own address was getting doxed too? Don’t worry it still hasn’t been posted here

I for one would love it if Rob joined in, he’s hilarious 😂

All for fun ladies, all for fun

R42 Me too. Could you imagine the tea he could spill? If he & BB ever fall out, BB’ll need to take out a contract on him!!!

R32 100% agree.

This was better without the fan girls and the repeating comments that add nothing. Repeating the same point over and over is not captivating and the self righteous nature is so fucking boring.

To echo a post from the last thread don’t come into this house and rearrange the furniture. These threads are not as fun anymore. Hope the OGs stick it out, but I’m out. Don’t care about BB or the many random woman he has fucked. I was interested in the now, not 3-5 years ago. This was fun three threads ago, but now this is just bleh. Fangirls ruin everything.

R44 The reality is that threads like these likely (and understandably) make his inner circle close ranks even tighter, and to their mind justify his insanely serious attitude re: privacy/secrecy. He compartmentalizes his professional and personal lives.

R45 Honestly, I think we’re all just waiting for some more “now” to discuss.

They keep repeating the pics and thanking me to cause me grief for my continued receipts on their asshole Lord and Savior Ben Christ. But all you're doing is making people look at my profile. So thanks for the traffic, my covid manifesto is getting SO MANY VIEWS! Soon everyone will know what an irresponsible cunt he was during a pandemic that killed millions so he could go fuck a woman whose marriage he ruined.

R48 Oh wait, is *that* how the internet works?!? Gee, guess I'm still learning too!

Well, you're acting 12 so one can only assume you are. I was trying to help you, sweetie. Now run along and play with your Barbies. Or brew a potion or whatever you wacky Satan spawn do these days.

Hope BB posts soon new content.

R45 then make it more fun??? You aren’t even contributing you are just complaining. Obviously if anyone had anything new on the “now” they would probably share it. I didn’t realize DL gossip had a statute of limitations your honor

R51 well this post definitely could have just been a tweet

R43 So Rob, did Ben ever have a threesome with you and Chloe?

R54 we tried one time, but they expected me to take off my panties and keep the lights on! No one sees my meat and two veg in full lighting, there could be hidden cameras!

R55 😂 not the same Rob lol but I like the imagery

R52 clear what camp you fall into. Also they said they were out so idk why you are baiting a response and also seems like they are just commenting on the changes in these threads and conveying personal preferences. Geez. Also you don’t know who they are or what they have or have not contributed and when did that become a requirement to post? This whole forum is people complaining. Mostly about JH for a while there. These threads could literally be just five people talking. Not that deep bro.

R56 sorry, Ben here, I answered for you!

R57 Lol well the baiting clearly worked because you responded didn’t you? R58 yes thanks Ross

I saw PP's page before it went private (I see now she's removed several posts- the post count is down since yesterday) and in one of them she was wearing a men's Punisher tank top. I'm betting it was Ben's. Kind of cute to think of him sharing clothes with the girls he's fucking actually. Making me wish I had time to look through her other pics- perhaps there were ones of ben on there.

As a gay man....I would do a lot to wear his clothes. Bet he smells amaaaazing

R60 I bet he smells like Uomo ;)

Though agree it's a cute thought that he may share his clothes. Of course it's even cuter once you start thinking that maybe Ben has a kink for liking his partners dressed up in men's clothes.

R59 no wrong, that was me. I didn’t post the first one was just responding to what was being said on here. That’s what people do here. Or are you assuming that every anon post is the same person.

Also I don’t think BB barely posting for a month is working for him as people just seem to be digging more stuff up from the past that he never wanted out. All of that would have never come out if he was posting emojis and songs. JH isn’t even a topic anymore.

Still zero new followers for Ross after all of yesterday's flurry of activity.

#Sad #DoubleSad

Why does Ross hate Ben so much? Jealous of Ben's good looks?

Ross appears to be a straight incel.

#TripleSad

[quote]Also I don’t think BB barely posting for a month is working for him as people just seem to be digging more stuff up from the past that he never wanted out. All of that would have never come out if he was posting emojis and songs. JH isn’t even a topic anymore.

R62 YA THINK?!? I'm pretty sure it's called controlling the narrative. Or maybe "directing," if that tickles your fancies better Ben.

Though be careful when you speak of She Who Shall Not Be Named, as there's no doubt in my mind a "tip" will be left in the paps that draws her back in. Cause that's all she does. *rolls eyes*

R63 Ross is totally jealous of BB’s hypocritical Covid traveling with a tramp. He wishes he could be as selfish and unethical, but he just doesn’t have it in him to a garbage human.

Ross seems to be a creepy heterosexual, talking about how much he wants to fuck Kate/Pixiegirlz.

Incel, indeed, especially with his violent hatred towards Ben.

R62 Correct. Which which is exhibit 23 of why BB needs a professional to guide his social media. Ben, stop being so cheap. Hire a fucking expert just as you would a dialect coach or guitar teacher, etc.

R62 are you assuming anything on the internet is actually anonymous?? You shouldn’t. And I mean that sincerely, it’s a good lesson to be taught as early as possible because some things just make it difficult, but not impossible to figure out. Anyways….what has JH been up to?

Who is Ross? I was just making a friends reference earlier

R37 If this is Rob then I’m sorry for the things we said to you when we thought you were Cindy! 😂 and please weigh in on what the fuck Ben is doing with emojigate because that shit is insane. Thank you in advance

R68 didn’t say any of that. Good job making a point that is meaningless. Are you saying you know who I am? Would love to see some receipts on that. Also the poster thinking I was the earlier post was wrong and so I responded.

Funny how all these posts about how doxing is wrong and protect pixie girl, but now you are threatening that what is suppose to be anonymous here is not because you have some special skills or something? Empty threats, that is what this has become?

R71 Yawn.

R72 nice 🙄

R71 That wasn’t a threat that was a factual statement about the internet. I never said anything about special skills lol calm down

Maybe it didn’t sound like a threat to you. We all know how the internet works. Thanks

R73 Sorry, but this is beyond tiresome at this point.

Ross is jacking off to Kate’s boob pics right now.

R60

I followed her right before she privated. What do you bitches want to know?

😂 this could actually be a great Benny B vaccination campaign to make up a bit for being a covidiot. Not that it would please most of you, he will still be called a hypocrite. But we need all the vaccine promotion we can get in the US

Calahan’s girlfriend looks a lot like Rayana. I think it was mentioned on the last thread he followed Rayana for a bit. Him and BB must have similar taste in girls

this whole pixie/kate thing is oddly making me sad. i guess i didn't realize i was holding out hope for him to be gay but this really confirmed to me that he isn't. it's been all speculation and even though she didn't directly admit to it, it's obvious they were together for some length of time. especially since someone mentioned her wearing his shirt

R78 did you happen to get a ss of her in the punisher top?

feel like maybe this has killed my boner for ben once and for all. nothing against the girl, but yeah i have no reason to care about him if he's fucking women

R81 Rayana’s friend already confirmed awhile back that he’s definitely straight.

R81 Yes I saw that pic but she took it down. She was indeed wearing what looks like a men's Punisher shirt. Picture was from 2018. I have the SS but I don't know about posting it since DL seems to be having a crisis of conscience regarding this girl

R83 only reason she would've taken it down is because it's his shirt. why else take it down?

Did our boy like JH new thirst trap pic with her ass out?

R85 no he didn't

R84 I mean this was 2018. They don’t even talk anymore according to her friend. Stale tea.

It would be kinda funny if he gave a little souvenir punisher shirt to all the women he was fucking in NYC over those two years. Wonder how many there are

R88 I was guessing that she just threw his on as post-coital attire, and didn’t necessarily get to keep it. We’ll all done that, grabbed his T-shirt or whatever. Or you inherit something that gets left behind at your place.

R88 makes me wonder. the story is that PP was out with him often enough to be seen with him on the regular. did he have girls in between if she was busy? does he just have girls on retainer for every night he's free? wouldn't be surprised.

R80 random question I know, but where did you see a picture of his girlfriend?

All this talk of doxxing, but how did Ross's name get out here?🤨

So now that we have a new woman in the picture. What would we all say his type is? Between JH, RR, PP, MY, TE....these women all look quite different

R91

R93 like all heterosexual man with great appeal to women, I guess he not only choses by looks, but by what he wants in his life at a specific moment. If he needed somebody to have a nice time with, but who would not cause much trouble (be sweet and silent for example) - usually men can sniff that from a hundred paces.

R92 he‘s been Ross forever on that troll Insta. No reveal there. And he is the best we have.

Ross spreading the gospel better than god and his whole fucking bookclub

I‘m surprised that some people find it so very weird that people come into contact with Ben. When I was young and hot, far more famous guys hit on me in clubs. If you‘re a pretty girl, the world is open to you.

R93 I usually find that men have a type when it comes to looks and it often has to do with body and coloring. all of these women are fit but have different coloring and face shapes. i'm not sure what ben's type is based on the women we have outlined here.

PP's got really gorgeous eyes. So does Rayana. JH also has striking eyes. MY seems to be the only one who I can't wrap my head around. I don't think he'd go for a girl that boring looking. I think she just wanted people to THINK they were together.

Do we know if ben's private account followed PP?

Ben has this one big problem. He does not have star appeal. He is not admired by a broad audience. He appeals (in his Caspian/Sirius incarnation) to rabid teenagers. In his metrosexual way to gays, and in his older years, to women who are over the bad guys and are simply intrigued and probably also their motherly instincts kick in. He has to suffer fancraze on a minuscule scale.

I‘m intrigued to figure him out, not in awe of him like say Keanu Reeves.

Poor lamb needs to hide his private life even though most people wouldn‘t recognize him on the street. None of my friends know who he is.

Lookwise I‘m all team Rayana and Calahan‘s girl OMFG. Ho looks totally normal when not filtered. PP not my type at all, but she looks very friendly I think and approachable. Not like a real pro model bodywise (I used to work in that industry a million years ago, NOT as a model).

His type? Very lean, very tight, DTF and biddable. End of story.

R98 I agree I think people who live in areas or work in industries where it’s uncommon to run into celebs put them on an untouchable pedestal and think they only ever interact with other famous people. I probably did when I was younger. Once I started working in an industry where I was around more famous people in entertainment and other public figures and unexpectedly found myself dating an actor I realized many of them are just normal people with a highly visible job that makes them more recognizable but when they aren’t working they don’t make it all about their fame unless they are shamelessly cultivating that celeb lifestyle. Until Ben started whatever the fuck this is with JH he struck me as the type that didn’t chase fame and liked to have a group of friends who weren’t all famous and would do low key things so it’s not surprising at all he would meet someone normal at a house party or bar and not be above talking to them

I knew a very famous and handsome sports guy once (friend of friend) who had girls in every city on various continents. That was impressive. I‘m sure Caspian finds a model somewhere when he needs one.

We find it weird that people come into contact with Ben because we didn't think he ever left his bunker.

R94 Wow she’s pretty! Oh oh, I can hear crying coming from the corner - S&B fans who thought he was with Danielle Galligan, his co-castmate. There’s even a fan page dedicated to them. Sorry loves, looks like he goes for the model type after all and not slightly larger Irish girls. (and btw I really like Danielle).

Of course anyone can come on here and claim whatever the fuck they want, just for the hell of it. And we’d believe them. Well, we would wouldn’t we, because we’re so tea starved.

R81 i also found one of her and ben. they're in the far background of the pic out of focus and she's sitting on his lap. the page i found it on is private and i don't want to out that person (they only have a couple hundred followers) but whoever claimed they weren't "lovey dovey" in public...do friends just sit on each others laps all the time? im beginning to think it was more serious. maybe the pixies were for her after all.

Jesus. Yes, friends do sit on laps, sometimes. But even so, it was YEARS AGO.

R108 stop trying to make this more than it is. Who cares whether or not it was serious or just fuck buddies it was years ago stop going through every single one of her pics and debating with yourself on here what should and shouldn’t be made public. Sitting on someone’s lap and also just being their fuck buddy or friend are not mutually exclusive things. And whoever claimed they weren’t lovey dovey in public probably got that from the same dubious “sources” and assumptions as this blurry pic that says nothing. It’s one thing for someone to come on here and offer up info they have from their own experiences or a friend’s and people can decide whether or not they believe it, but this weaseling your way into the account and pics of someone who made her account private specifically in reaction to being unnecessarily outed here is invasive to an extreme

If Ben actually started suddenly putting fairies and hearts on his story for someone he hasn’t talked to in years just hoping she would notice instead of trying to make contact with her like a normal person, then he truly has probably gone crazy and we should hope his dad intervenes soon. But instead we have much more recent and obvious links to a known presence in his current life who uses the same fairies and hearts in her posts and stories. Trying to instead tie it to some poor girl from his past who made the mistake of responding to a random friend on Instagram just to tell them THEY DON’T TALK ANYMORE is a massive and crazy reach. Are you JH just trying to get us off your trail or to troll us more?

[quote] Ross spreading the gospel better than god and his whole fucking bookclub

Hallelujah!

::Curtsy::

R81 yeah i saw that one too. guess we are sleuthing the same accounts. his hands are around her waist and shes in a pink top? looking very cozy. maybe one day we will get pics of JHo on his lap. this place would lose its shit!

Ben coming’ in hot with a new and unique selection of colored hearts for rise up (Yes we are scraping for crumbs today and I’m once again using Ben to procrastinate). Also some trumpet emojis in there

R114 LOL at you continuing to talk to yourself about all the creepy little clues you’ve found

R114 you do know that when you hit the ignore button on someone‘s post you can see all the posts they have written? You are indeed talking to yourself and you are also the one who gave the info about the party …

Actually I‘m starting to think we‘ve been setup in this entire show. Someone mentioning her, she reacting right away, screenshots made … well …

Or she reacted right away because she got tips that someone had just outed her account to one of the most ravenous and batshit crazy fandoms in the world

Wait now what? Someone is having a conversation with themselves like they're agreeing/answering? Which messages?

Unless they are sharing their login with someone which is also possible but probably rare (e.g. I inherited mine from someone else), then they are definitely having a conversation with themselves about all the intel being gathered on that poor girl lol because you can tell when posts are from the same account if you know where to look. Anonymity on the internet is a tricky thing to pull off in practice

Yes comment 81 was made by the same account that answered twice as to also having seen it.

LOL Cindy, you're crazy is showing. Tuck that in, girl!

Well this just got awkward for some people I guess

Why pay separately when we can all share one?

R125 yeah right, whatever.

R118 R122 Yeah - this is what I meant at R107. We’ve been fed all of this and we’ve taken it as gospel. And it might not be.

I‘ve been hacking away at this thing like crazy these past days, should someone be bored enough to read all of my posts. 😂

R115 Noticed that too… 3 different colour hearts! And yes, trumpets!! I’m beginning to feel as if I’m in some crazy LSD emoji trip!

R127 Soooo….does that mean there’s a chance he’s still gay?? 😆🍿

R130 Nah just this whole Pixie thing 🤣

LoL you can all believe what you choose to. Just because we were smart enough to share our account with several people doesn't mean the stuff we found wasn't true. But sure you can choose to think he's gay. Who cares?

//3 gay men use this account and all would prefer BB to be gay if it's any consolation to those offended by our sleuthing. we also share this account with straight women and these are not the only threads we comment in. But as you said, believe what you will.

She should have left her account public then, sure she would have had 1000s of new followers. If she did make all that up, well done that is the ultimate troll. BB would be proud.

R132 Well well well isn’t this just the Wild Wild West of password insecurity. Y’all must be close if you found the exact same private account to get salacious lap sitting pic details from and didn’t realize you were the only two people on here talking about it. But to each their own

R134 but also telling each other not to post more!

Eh It’s ok we all have our inconsistent days. At least they seem to be enjoying themselves

We didn't say we didn't want to keep it juicy for you all.

Lying to a bunch of obsessive sleuthers — always an effective defense strategy. Lol.

Whatever tickles your fancy. That SS is real. Nothing is doctored. One of the people who uses this account found it. Several of us sleuthed separately and posted our updates here. Some of us are nicer than others (for instance I do not care about protecting people's privacy if they are posting on public accounts) while some don't agree. We've had disagreements before using this account.

But again, by all means, Ben Barnes is gay // with JH. It's all up to you what you want to believe.

LMAO ouch

Too many coincidences of people reacting too quickly all at once and live as everyone was breathlessly reading. Even the mutual, up and ready to give all the info. But, if that‘s your BB fanclub, fine! Enjoy it! I‘m fine with everybody‘s fun.

Can we please go back to Ben? Has anybody monitored his twitter likes?

R142 His first Twitter like in a week

R139 since *one of you* posted that first screenshot - yes, that can be seen - I know believe that it was all very much staged.

R144 *now

Believe what you'd like to. And look out for us arguing with each other all around DL. As I said, that ss was real and one of us found it. If you'd prefer the gay thing that's fine too. Enjoy.

R83 just post it! We wanna see!!!

Smartass would be able to tell us if that exchange on his Instagram was real. My assumption was that it was real and I didn’t get the impression she was part of any set up. But it’s true the OP of the original screenshot did a real shitty job covering the Instagram handle like it was on purpose. And any of this intel from the mutual since then about their little meetcute at a party and the pics that have apparently since been deleted could all be complete bullshit. Either way I still think she should be left alone

If you found it, you did the crap job of blackening it out. And you all so fond of PP you called people PSYCHO who thought wasn‘t pretty. Anyway enjoy it here.

Sorry, I’m bored and totally confused with the Pixie thing now. I don’t know what to believe or not so I’m going to ignore it all from here on in.

R140 Ouch indeed. Maybe Ben saw this pic again recently and rushed out for that Botox. Or that Lensa app someone mentioned. Ouch no 2 - see link. Poor Ben. He’s being wrinkle-shamed by the teen baby fans. I don’t mind them myself btw.

R143 The sneaky devil. I checked his account very recently and he hadn’t liked anything, so he snuck this one past me. How very dare he.

R148 of course it was there. Quite coincidence the friend saw the manifesto … and then publicly linked someone .. ah well. I am of suspicious mind in such cases. But let‘s give them the benefit of the doubt.

Funny that you would prefer to believe this was all some elaborate ruse than a bunch of people with differing opinions sharing an account. As I said, if you paid attention, you'd see this account in multiple DL threads disagreeing with itself.

R152 not yesterday and today though. You only posted on Ben threads all of you together.

I didn’t think Ben was hot UNTIL he became a little more wrinkled a few years ago (although still surprisingly unwrinkled and well moisturized for 40) so if they don’t like it they can find some new age appropriate thing to Stan. And I’m pretty sure somewhere he said he wouldn’t get Botox because an actor needs to be able to have full control of his features. I’ve been getting preventative baby Botox for the last few years though and I’m not 40 so I’m not judging

R132 but as I said, I give you the benefit of the doubt and I simply won‘t care about that poor girl any longer.

R152 That isn't true. One of us was in a Diana Ross thread less than an hour ago but again, but believe whatever you wish. We put the information out there. Leave it if you don't like it. Not up to us to care.

Lol “one of us” 🤣

Pic 2 - JH looks like she has a huge head! Which we of course know she does.

She seems to have stopped the ‘posting at BB IG time slots’ thing.

R154 I really hope that he doesn’t get any of that shit done. Doesn’t it just end up with you needing more and more? Hopefully that’s one bit of Hollyweird he won’t get into.

God I wish I had the kind of discipline in my life to have social media timeslots. I would be much more productive and certainly not here as much as I have been recently

R152 you still don‘t know that we can see all posts you made on any thread on DL when we hit the ignore button.

At least the Ho does SOMETHING.

Okay, some general DL howto If you want to see who posted what, hit the ignore button on a post, go into your menu, click on Ignored, and all their recent posts will be shown to you. That‘s no secret.

R108, post it, but blur EVERYTHING ELSE OUT.

R152 Hey man I get it. I also frequently disagree with myself and one of us usually always wins, but luckily that all usually occurs inside my head 😌 I’ve heard journaling can be healthy though so carry on

[quote]Lol “one of us” 🤣

EXACTLY, R157!

"We all use the same account! This wasn't rigged at all!"

GOT CAUGHT!!! LOL!!!

We do. And maybe some of us were trying to be messy with our info. Maybe the others weren't. The internet is a fun place to speculate

Using Ignore-dar shows that the SAME POSTER posted this:

[quote]Whoever said they talked to PP, care to share more?

And then pretended to be a DIFFERENT POSTER who posted this:

[quote]I just spent HOURS of my life reading through the last thread. Wow what a trip. I am having a bit of a come to Jesus moment though...we assume BB had relationships with women who have posted about him but never confirmed they slept with him themselves. What if none of these women did anything more than know him as a friend and we've all sat here for 20 threads assuming their entire lives, putting together timelines....based on what? A picture together? A friend making a joke on an ig post? Possible secret emojis in instagram stories? It's all pretty vague and silly. Maybe I need to log off DL for a while lol!!

Who then pretended to be a - you guessed it! - DIFFERENT POSTER again:

[quote]I saw PP's page before it went private (I see now she's removed several posts- the post count is down since yesterday) and in one of them she was wearing a men's Punisher tank top. I'm betting it was Ben's. Kind of cute to think of him sharing clothes with the girls he's fucking actually. Making me wish I had time to look through her other pics- perhaps there were ones of ben on there.

And on and on and on...

You got trolled, you dumb Fraus who believe ANYTHING when someone makes up something.

R108 R164 I said I was going to ignore this but I have to just say, no please don’t post it. It’ll only spark a ‘is that actually him’ debate and I don’t want to hear anything more about the girl.

R160 That’s Benny B for you!

R169 I won't. There's no point. All of these ungrateful hags don't deserve more tea. We came with it piping hot and ya'll big mad because multiple users share this account. Twas a pleasure! See you all around the DL.

Maybe you have a bright future ahead of you as a screenwriter! But yes this seems like the time to just move on and forget this PP thing happened

This fake PP thing never happened.

When Ben’s outer eyes get some droopiness, that’s a classic, telltale sign of a recent botox dosing.

Re: JH, maybe sticking out her butt used to be a good pose for her, but the more “normal” sized she becomes, the more unflattering that is for her pear-shaped body. Her bikini bottom style likewise needs to change to reflect her evolving physique.

R174 Sorry, confused - are you saying you think he’s had some done? He’s had his eye crinkles forever, now trying to spot droopiness!!!

Good Ben, only liking one very nice tweet from someone you know Good boy.

R173 Yeah I doctored some ss of this girl and her friend to trick you all. Mwahahaha my master plan has been revealed

Easier to believe that? Anything's possible I suppose.

Anyway yes, Julianne Hough. Let's get back to that fake relationship.

R173 honey you know they'd rather talk about THE HO! just let these bitter betties have it it's what they DESERVE

^^ was meant for my boo R178 <3 they don't deserve us honey

"Us!"

LOL!!!!!!

Good use of positive self talk to move through some trying times 👏🏻 Now let’s all move on.

Some timeline toxicity to distract everyone lol quite brave of them to post this picture during these sensitive times. This account really is making it through everything.

R183 Yep, like I said - posting everything from BB Fan and BB’s IG!! Lazy ass girl! Lmao.

Ok so this is smartass. Pixie-Kate was named by a friend in a braindead move on what she thought was a completely follower-free account that looks like (and is, let's face it) a lunatic's rantings. (I mean me.) She asked her friend to delete. She couldn't, and so tagged me and asked me to, so I did immediately. This girl has no skin in this game. She hasn't spoken to him for years. She is not in contact with him. Her friend didn't do it for attention. She wants none of this, went private and has blocked multiple hateful cunts who *actually* took screenshots of the vile shit you bitches were spewing and sent them to her on IG just to hurt her, even after she asked you to stop. And yeah, I saw a Punisher tank top. Big fuckin deal, they were promo items. His garbage man probably has one. Why don't you ask him about his dick? Leave her alone. She's not a part of his life.

Sick liar at R185 trying to deflect… again.

She immediately went private, but she’s somehow getting inundated with hateful Datalounge screenshots.

You’re terrible in your lies.

R185 Dude, we’d finally switched topics. Did you really need to re-open this can of worms?!

She accepted message requests. But whatevs. I don't care about y'all. Just my mission.

R187 i swear i SWEAR i'm over this heffa but i will say do you even know how instagram works? she went private but people can still send her messages with SS of all the tea we've been spilling and reading. anyways i'm over this shit you all take the fun out of hot tea which is the whole point of this place but i'll be on my merry way now

R185 awww just wanted to add i'm the one who took the original ss of those comments on your sad af post. i left it a lil open so ppl could see who it was between because im a messy bitch who lives for drama and wanted to see all these sad fraus sweat BUT you should really take that page down it's a BADDD lewk

I will be reposting those ss FOREVER on every single BB thread.

What the covid shame page? Fuck that.

R185 THANK YOU for your input to prove this wasn’t part of some elaborate scheme for her to get attention by tying her to Ben as some people have implied above. R186 if you are implying R185 is the same person who was talking to himself after digging up all the “tea” from a mutual and trying to deflect, you were given explicit instructions upthread for how to tell what comments are from the same person. You must be a special kind of stupid if you still don’t understand that you can check who is posting what before accusing someone of being part of that schizophrenia. R187 you are clearly just a dumb fuck who doesn’t understand how social media works if you think making an account private means you cant receive any messages at all. Please reconsider your membership to the internet as a whole because your kind of stupidity just causes unnecessary confusion and problems. And fuck everyone who sent those messages to her. R191 R192 thanks for admitting you did/do this on purpose and have nothing but malicious intent, but don’t pretend it’s directed at trolling anyone here because you are really just causing her harm. Seriously do some gay men just get sick jollies out of harassing innocent women? what the fuck is wrong with you??? I can’t wait for the day someone actually doxes you and your personal info so you can see how it feels and I’m eager for it to happen sooner rather than later

[quote] She wants none of this, went private and has blocked multiple hateful cunts who *actually* took screenshots of the vile shit you bitches were spewing and sent them to her on IG just to hurt her, even after she asked you to stop.

Proving once again this is the most toxic fandom in Hollywood. No wonder Ben can’t do anything without extreme privacy when there are sick people who do this to someone he hasn’t talked to in years and for absolutely no reason. Does it make you feel good about yourself?

Okay. Half of us feel badly about this and the other half don't. I will say for my part, I'm sorry to this girl. Other people who use this account don't care/think she was fair game after being tagged on a public page and we will deal with that amongst ourself in terms of how we continue to manage this account. I will not message her but someone can feel free to pass onto her that at least two of us are sorry. I, personally, will not be posting from this account again.

R196 Bro, even if someone wanted to apologize on your behalf, I don’t think anyone could even begin to explain to her the batshit crazy scenario that multiple people may or may not share an anonymous gossip site account that costs $1.99 and may or may not have been doing the exact same creepy research on her and having debates with each other on a single forum about how it should or shouldn’t be made public. I think the overall craziness of that story would cloud any potential apology, but I’m glad at least “half” of you feel bad and I hope the other half come around soon. And protip, if you want to just move on from this without having to work out “amongst yourselves” how you will continue to manage your account you could just create an account using a burner email from a secure provider (i.e. not outlook, gmail, yahoo, etc) and make your own account. The risk someone takes on for being responsible and liable for other people’s actions on a shared account is exactly why it’s often against company Ts&Cs and sometimes even against the law for accounts to be shared in certain parts of the tech industry, and that’s the type of blame you are trying to displace with these antics that started out as some gossip but turned into something that could cause actual damage to a person’s life

“Gossip” = Made-up story.

“Three people on one account” = Made-up story.

[quote] Seriously do some gay men just get sick jollies out of harassing innocent women? what the fuck is wrong with you??? I

This place was overrun by fangirls many threads ago and we all know they are responsible for harrassing that woman. You think gay men are invested in whatever interchangeable bikini model BB is screwing this month? It couldn't be a more boring story if we tried.

I'm just here for the schadenfreude of watching the fandom implode (hopefully) along with his shitty career and to find out what happens with the JH mess.

R199 Okay That one single account posted the screenshots. They then went on and on about how beautiful and enthralling that girl was. Then revealed the secret source, then asked if anybody had talked to her, then debated all by themselves. Either that person set the girl up or the entire story including the instagram comments are set up and poor Ross has been duped. Nobody here cared about her except that one account. I don‘t even believe screenshots were taken because no one but that account started the story and kept it alive. I believe it is fake from beginning to end.

Guys, I've said before, I really enjoy these threads. I'm sure many do. Let's not be mean to each other. If someone and their multiple personalities wants to have a conversation with themselves, whatever. Don't you see what is happening? Ben is getting us to turn on each other by making us tea starved! He might be smarter than what we give him credit for.

To give anyone a break... does anyone know how Ben met the Ho? I've heard the whole they've been friends forever etc. But does someone know more? Where/how they met maybe? I really don't even see them running in the same circles.

R202 I posted several threads ago an old pic of BB running around LA with Kenny Wormald from "Footloose." As far as I can tell that was his first public sighting with anyone Hough-adjacent. But no idea how he would have met Kenny.

R203 Kenny was in By the Gun

Ben still doesn‘t get it. If he won‘t come up with an album or his project soon the fangirls will combust. He does stupid things then hides. Then pretends nothing happens. All the while people are getting more and more agitated my the minute in subtwitter and on here and who knows where else. You gotta manage your fame boy. Just gotta.

Netflix continues to add fuel to the fire in his absence. He doesn’t even like all their darkling content anymore

R204 I didn't know that, but then I may have blocked By The Gun from my memory. So we can blame Kenny then?

Ross is no "innocent dupe."

There is no "Three Gay Men Sharing One DL Account."

It's one unhinged lunatic pretending to be multiple posts - and he got CAUGHT.

Ross is no "innocent dupe."

R210 You wouldn’t know a dupe if it hit you in the fucking face. You didn’t even know how social media privacy works and apparently are still too fucking stupid to figure out “Ross” and the schizophrenic guy are two separate accounts. You continue to post these pics because you get some sick pleasure out of hoping this girl continues to be harassed and isn’t forgotten. And the gay men comment above came from the fact that your previous comments and the schizophrenic guy identified yourselves as such. Whether you continue to obsess about her on here or are the ones sending screenshots, the point is you keep fueling the harassment

No, I'm fueling the truth that you were all duped by some loser who made up the "We're Three Gay Men Using One Account!" excuse.

It was all a lie, all a crafted fabrication.

Just trying to wake you up to the scammers out there who you fall for so easily.

All his bullshit about getting intel from a mutual was a lie and we figured that out without help from a halfwit like you. That doesn’t change the fact that there’s a real person that’s now getting harassed because of all this unnecessary bullshit. I’ve talked to her and I can assure you she is not part of some scheme to dupe a gay gossip site

R212 We never actually thought multiple people were using one account. It sounded like something a teenager would say when caught in a lie to try to cover their tracks, and we all saw that immediately. The only one who thought it was a convincing story is the mental case harasser who persisted in telling the story.

Yes, someone is clearly working overtime to try to sabotage this thread since it has been effective in disseminating damaging info to Ben’s reputation. Period. If you want to start tearing each other down and infighting over the gender and sexuality of who is focused on which specific sub thread of info, then you’re going to accomplish their goal, Sylvia, and not your goal. There’s room enough here to focus on all the various sources of scurrilous behavior from BB.

There is nothing scurrilous or damaging about an attractive single man going around banging random hot women. Only his little wanna-be child brides would think that.

What is damaging and would get this thread shut down if the admins ever looked at it, is repeatedly trying to dox and hassle a real life person. So fucking stop.

R216 I think the core of us here 100% agree that the harassment needs to stop. Several of us even reached out to apologize to the person in question. My point is y’all want tea, and then start arguing & infighting over the merits of said tea once you have it. Isn’t the point if this thread to gossip about BB? Is there really a socially acceptable pecking order as to which rare tea leaves deserve further analysis, and those deemed unworthy by some must surely only be of interest to *gasp* fangirls? That’s the infighting that will result in the implosion of this thread, to the satisfaction of whomever’s specific aim it is to kill this thread because they’re enraged by how effective it’s been in taking BB’s garbage behavior mainstream.

Frankly, I’m surprised that climbing the tree at Joshua Tree wasn’t a bigger deal. The numnut posted a poto for posterity, and he flies so below the radar with the public & press that even this group bitching about ot couldn’t get him called out for it. But this thread is getting the word out regarding various forms of his pattern of twisting the rules to his benefit.

R217 We're fundamentally in agreement. I'm for all the tea we can get about Ben, even whichever model he's banging this week. Because if the dumb bitch had been even a *tiny* bit more open about his personal life all these years, then crazy girls wouldn't be able to convince themselves that he's been virginally saving himself for them, or whatever they imagine. And we wouldn't have OTT overreactions like we've seen here. So yes, let's pierce his sanctimonious veil of secrecy, by all means!

Where I disagree is that model-banging is newsworthy enough to: 1. cause two threads to scroll by practically overnight, 2. result in one of our best posters/members being attacked for bringing us this tea, 3. attacking of said model. And all of those *reactions* to this news have been by the fangirls.

It's ain't the tea, it's what a subset of people are doing with it.

R219 FTR, I don’t think model-banging is noteworthy in & of itself either, but beggars can’t be choosers when you’re tea-starved ;-) And if things hadn’t gone off the rails, I think it would’ve been let go as a topic of interest fairly quickly. But you gotta sip the tea first before deciding if you want to drink more, right?

R219 very well said! 👏

You're believing "tea" which is completely fabricated.

MORE delusional than Armie Hammer and Jeremy Renner obsessives.

In any event, Sylvia, thank you for all that you do!

If he were smart, which he thinks he is but he’s not, he’d post something today to re-focus on the “now”. C’mon Benny, after your morning BJ and your PG tip-and-toast brekkie, distract us from this mayhem!

Is Ross still jacking off about Kate's tits?

Explain the logic there again? Why do I want to ejaculate to her bosoms? And if so, why have I spent so much time on this thread for a man?

R226 Ross, rule #1 of dealing with crazy: Don’t engage.

Oh by the way, I'm *totally* laughing at your attempts to hurt my feelings. Followers? Incel? The worst thing you've called me so far was a hetero man. Girls are yucky.

R227 sorry. I'll go make memes.

Ross said, "Even I'D fuck her!" about Kate and her boob photos.

Has Benji made any attempt to become an American citizen? Rob is. He has a house here, so why not become a citizen?

Wow. JH really playing catch-up with her contractual obligations on social media — could she be any more obvious? I’ll bet she has many very disgruntled “partners” reviewing her IG & sending warning emails.

Yikes we really did bring out the crazies and denyers all in one swoop and all about a boy...Ben Barnes! Felt like I was on a crazy trip! hopefully the affects are wearing off and we can chill. R231 I would have thought he was but he's probably keeping it low key and is wearing his British badge with honour! R232 Totally! She needs to pay for it somehow...she must be running out of her money. JH there's jobs at Aldi's prob at a better rate your getting at the moment! Anyhow love how JH is sharing how Kind Campaign girl against girl bullying is "soo near and dear to my her heart". Yeah JH it suuure is....

R233 Ah, great Blind remind, Lilly! Looks like JH pulled her Range Rover promo post & story. Guess that was a no-no.

R234 Did she put that up today?

R235 This morning PST, yeah. That’s what prompted my comment here, b/c it was the most blatant of her partnership/shilling posts after several consecutive days of them.

What is this stupid-ass pose he's been doing? Is this a teenybopper thing?

R237 Yes they make him do all sorts of stupid poses since they can’t force him to hug them yet. Just look at Ainhoa’s profile pic. Also I know this will be triggering for some here, but Ben also thinks it’s bread. Scandal of the century

R234 Oh that's interesting as JH Rover post and story was still up exactly when I posted the blind!

Hi JH there's plenty more of your dirty history that will be catching up with you with every fake post story you share 👋

A wee ode dedicated to you and Ben Barnes "...Oh the tangled web we weave when at first we try to deceive"

R228 Gonna beat that dead horse forever?

R234 It’s still up on her Twitter which is odd. Maybe she didn’t label it according to the rules on Instagram. R237 ~min 6:20 maybe Leigh started this one

R241

R233 Clocked out for the day so I'll say yeah, I think all old residents have hurt ourselves with all the eye rolling and we're now sighing our way through chilling. Humorously that includes Ben, who actually bothered to like something on Twitter yesterday as this was continuing to go on. Clearly it's affecting him negatively. Or ya know, at all.

But for anyone lurking that can't get into the DL weeds without an account, let me sum up. Yes there is one Dissociative Disorder (DD) account that was the start of this. Who in a brave but utterly and unequivocally dick move "admitted" that they purposefully didn't completely blur this girl's name because they wanted the drama. Cool. It was undeniably unwise to have the original convo on a public forum, and hopefully both girls have learned from that mistake, but this one DD poster apparently sought to maliciously punish this girl for her mistake. And from there it snowballed. If anyone else didn't realize yet, the DD poster continued arguing with itself after originally posting the screenshot saying it went too far and this poor girl. So have fun with that one.

And then of course, we have our literal DL troll. The one that keeps reposting the screenshot of this girl's IG page. The same one that originally started calling her so ugly it was proof that Ben was gay. The same one that keeps saying we're getting duped by believing the DD poster was really multiple people (as he continually responds to them by laughing at that thought), and also that SmartAss got duped in the first place by this completely fabricated story. Why? Because if you check the rest of his posts, he has a hard-on for SmartAss (who he keeps referring to as Ross). Who's apparently Sad, and an Incel, and inexplicably has only two followers, and wants to fuck this girl and is making ALL this up because he's jealous of Ben's looks and that's why he violently hates Ben, etc. He says SmartAss is a liar after he explains exactly what happened and to stop messaging this girl with screenshots of this very same troll calling her ugly. This guy appears to be here at all because of his violent hatred of SmartAss, who made all of us fall for this scheme.

Why? SmartAss exists at all to call out Ben's hypocrisy over his Covid partying over New Year's with a garbage woman that hardly ever wore a mask. That's all SmartAss does. Which is why there's some cognitive dissonance when you see that our troll started and commented on this thread below. I don't get it either.

Why did our troll go so far over the top and do all this to this girl? Who knows. But he and the original DD drama poster appear to bear the majority responsibility for why she apparently got hurt. That didn't need to happen. While most of us just want to find out more about Ben with our gossip, there were unfortunately also two assholes that wanted to get their jollies off at some random girl's expense.

You're now up to speed. Do with it what you will.

R243 that chapters done now, its been done to death and its not getting resurrected...moving swiftly on!

Maybe Ben is soo quiet cos he's doing an OnlyFans page birthday specials with his Barnacles Stans and making extra birthday coins. Celebutards are making ALOT but within which context of "engaging with fans"?! Benny Boy would be a billionaire with his fandom I think Cindy would empty out her life savings for that!

R244 Ha that’s for sure!!

But do you see Ben Intellectual Paranoid Barnes going on OnlyFans? Well, I suppose he didn’t do cons for ages then must’ve woken up to the $$$£££ available so you never know. And those cons involve actual man-handling by fans (I bet he just hates that, if he’s honest) so I guess OF would possibly be more acceptable as it’s dollars at arm’s length.

But he’d better get his social media hat back on again as his fandom is getting restless, what with all the breadcrumbs he’s trailing without substantive backup. I just love the fact that the most recent posts we’ve seen are of him in the background of other people’s pix.

His little ‘No Photos Total Privacy Please’ antennae must be quivering!

Who is this referring to?

R246 Wow. Wonder what that theory’s based on! And… I hope it’s true.

R246 R247 That’s been posted here before, and the rumour was that she was dating a hot crew guy but the timeline was blurry, wasn’t deemed to be current.

R245 Ben will sign up for OnlyFans only if they let him give a weekly lecture on Proust. Because he fancy!

R245 Ben knows exactly what he is doing delayed teasing his fandom with stale crumbs of mediocre info that he knows they've been screaming for...it's a mean game of treat em' mean keep em keen he's playing with them.

R246 actually the thread lower down the Redditt page is more interesting as its everyone speaking about all the celebs who have been covid travelling throughout pandemic to various continents that have been in full lockdown, people putting celebs on pedestals who are now seeing through their bullshit SM persona due to their behaviours throughout lockdown and the unhealthy Stan fandom behaviours. Surprisingly Ben and Julianne's name didn't get mentioned. They talk alot about OZ and the vast celebs moving/travelling over to the place (hello Chike!). Yeah glad to see other people's bubbles have burst on their favourite crushes and not just us witnessing the hypocrisy of celebs!

R249 Ha yes Syl and then he would do a 1 hour weekly ASMR making, drinking a cup of tea and eating biscuits dressed up in their choice of his character costumes...and they have a lot to choose from...mine would be Logan Delos...actually Ben that's not such a bad idea😅

R250 I would definitely listen to some Ben ASMR especially after this thread. Someone needs to get him on the Calm app

R250 And let’s not forget the sterling work done by smartass and HRHCaspian in putting BB’s hypocrisy out there into the cybersphere!! 👌

R250 Thanks for calling this out. Wow. Really makes me wonder how deep BB actually needed to dig to create Logan, or if the character was in part based on him, as he’s joked.

On a bit of a tangent here, but did we ever work out whether Rob and Chloe are still seeing each other? I think we speculated a while back that he seemed to have moved in with her (or was spending most of his time at hers) but lo and behold, he’s still Benny B’s housemate.

She’s obviously still around as is part of this much-hinted-at project but I’m just being nosy!

R251 Yes yet again BB career advice is here for him to pick up. BB should invent his own Calm app called...CALM HEED AT TEA 😉It's a winner!!! R252 Yes absolutely it's been a mission for them and lots of people here to send the message out there R253 I don't think he dug at all! Tho I do remember an interview he spoke about Logan being a mix of all the assholes he's encountered in his modelling/acting career!

R252 R253 Fine, make me your villain

But sweeties, please leave everyone else the fuck alone

R253, Heh, we both zeroed in on the same comment. Truth there.

I've mused before here that just maybe it should mean something to Ben that casting directors *repeatedly* cast him as the unbridled villain for how many years now? Despite him saying that he really wants to be the good guy again. Why is that?

Also, he's going to keep having to play kirigan for years to come. Yet he doesn't do anything in between seasons to subvert his sustained villain image?!? Jessie's filming something as we speak. He couldn't find anything to do too? There was time apparently. He's so very confusing some times.

R255 He generally seemed very happy while he was filming WW. I think he said in one interview he was living his best life at that point. Things did seem very much on the ‘up’ for him around then - product promos, interviews, red carpets, upcoming role in The Punisher. But then he seemed to get stuck in neutral again. I don’t think he capitalised on all the buzz back then as much as he could have. Maybe doing Gold Digger wasn’t the best thing he could have chosen at that point. And then a YA Netflix series with who knows how much screen time left.

R231 He might have a house in LA but in normal times, he’s hardly been there - months in Eastern Europe on some of his films, months in the UK filming GD, months in Budapest filming S&B. More months in Budapest coming up. Maybe he figures it’s not worth it, lmao! Plus doesn’t dual nationality throw up some possible taxation issues? - can get taxed by both govt’s for instance. I’ve no idea tbh but maybe someone on here can enlighten me.

Talking of GD, he’s said in numerous interviews that ‘Benjamin’ was most like who he is in real life. *Shrugs* - who knows who BB is in real life though? Now that we’ve had a glimpse behind the Privacy Curtain.

R258 I think Kirigan gets killed off after S2 — not sure if he lasts into S3? But perhaps I’m wrong. Someone who is familiar with the books will know better, tho admittedly Eric’s changing the timeline by merging S&B and Crows

Re:more work, it’s been said he was in negotiations for a West End play, which fell through with the pandemic. So who knows what will happen after S2.

R259 Where did he say he’s like Benjamin? I just remember this interview where he said he’s probably most like his characters in Killing Bono and Jackie & Ryan lol. His real accent is most similar to Benjamin though.

R260 Spoiler alert…..but the Darkling kinda does a John Snow thing and doesn’t really die. There’s a lot of Darkling ground to cover if Netflix decides to keep investing in it. But who knows, I’m interested to see where Eric will take it.

P.S. R256 Hi 👋🏻 Ben. What an appropriate time for you to drop in lol and R257 agreed

R259 I wonder how much he was living his best life simply because he was working close to home (his brand-new home, no less). Yes, he also was part of a popular & critically lauded project for the first time. The combination must’ve been a sweet spot. Remind me who he was seeing during the Westworld dayz?

R260 I haven't read the books, but I know the series is three books long. Does the main villain die in the middle book? Meaning the whole last book is Alina vs. the fold? Possible of course, but really??

BTW, I think I know the reference you're making, but was it ever actually confirmed as a West End play specifically? Or is that just the assumption?

R263 Dig some digging. Darkling is still around in book 3. So you had it correct: several more years of life in Budapest. He’s fucked.

I thought I read West End. Someone correct me if that’s wrong or weigh in with additional deets.

R263 R264 There are 7 main books plus some side short stories. The darkling is mainly in the first three (the Grishaverse trilogy that includes Alina and Mal) and in the latest 7th book, which is the second of the Kind of Scars Duology. Plus I think a little in the 6th (it’s been a while since I listened to them). but with Eric merging the Six of Crows duology into the first three who knows how it could play out or what will happen if they decide to go with the crows spin-off instead. If it follows the trajectory of GoT after the second or third season the studio will want to milk it for all its worth. The first season is just about building momentum.

And the point about West End wasn’t publicly confirmed, just that he had a role in a musical in the works that got derailed

R261 He said it in at least two or three interviews round about GD launch, I’ll try and dig out one or more of them. Seems like he’s like a lot of his characters, lmao!

R265 I’m almost positive he said ‘West End’ in one interview he did, as several of us Brits were so disappointed he wasn’t going to be back home again for a while. It might have been at a virtual con Q&A last year, will try and dig it out.

R254 They broke up. There was a time when he had moved in with her, his IG posts were definitely set in a different, less nice house. Then in 2018 sometime he was back at Ben's.

R267 It does seem so. He still likes just about all of her posts. Of course he’s learned at his master’s knee how to stay friends with exes.

Actually, sarcasm aside, I think they probably are genuinely still friends.

R261 R261 Here’s one article re his character in GD - though I remember reading more at the time.

R261 R266 R269 And another one…. question 5

R270 Interesting! I’ve read this before but missed that. This reads a bit like you are listening in on their first date haha they definitely seemed to have some flirty chemistry going on. Maybe it was an interview with a happy ending

R271 Ha ha - who knows! Flirty old Benny Boy, front and centre.

Not sure it was an in-person interview though? She seems to have been based in NYC at the time, but could have been in LA for this and maybe some other interviews of course. Don’t know when she actually interviewed him but he was in Budapest when this was published.

Edit R272 - just to clarify, when her article was published, not her Tweet!

Ben is 100% correct that he's most like "Benjamin." That character hid many things about himself, presented himself as a sweet, charming, somewhat eccentric nerd but also showed glimpses of a cold, manipulative, con man side. We the audience spend the duration wondering WTF he's really all about. The primary difference being that "Golddigger" ends happily.

On a totally random note: I won't mention the name lest we attract even more unhinged loons, but I clicked through a link on an article about someone who lives in M0ntecito, which took me to a jeweler's page where I stumbled upon this:

"11:11 is the universe’s way of urging us to pay attention to our heart, soul and inner intuition. It can be seen as a wake-up call, a sign from our angels and a moment to step back and assess our current state. Seeing this particular sequence means that the universe is trying to spark an awakening, a time for us to pay close attention to the synchronicities around us to remember who we really are."

R274 Oh my lord - yes, I do think I remember reading something very similar to that when I googled 11:11 after Mr Barnes’ IG post. It was a bit too nausea-inducing for me so I didn’t post it, lmao.

I totally get that you don’t want to post the name given the past couple of days’ shenanigans, but can you say if the person is someone BB knows?

I feel like at least half of Hollywood is loony enough to believe the stuff about 11:11 🙄 that’s why Paris Hilton always posts a screenshot or pic of 11:11 on what seemed like a daily basis for the short time I followed her and says “11:11 make a wish” and I assume Ben’s project has nothing to do with her lol

R275 No connection to BB....just a very famous woman who lives in M0ntecito with her ginger husband and two children. Woman in question doesn't own an 11:11 necklace, but when I browsed the page that item jumped out at me. Now I'm going to be checking JH's pics to see if she has one, though.

R276 Agreed, but Ben likes for us to think he's so much more intellectual than them. "I actually went to University." *disdainful sniff*

What caught my eye was the 11s combined with here comes the sun imagery.

R277 R278 Well the only thing is, he didn’t post the 11:11 thing till 28 July so if he happened to get her that for her birthday, I don’t think she’s posted any new pix since then - apart from maybe a story or two - it’s been all old Portugal shots.

But it’s definitely the kind of BS she’d be into. And Ben’s posts have been leaning more & more that way of late, more’s the pity.

R265 R266 Found the theatre reference, it was on the virtual con Q&A in June 2020 - sorry I can’t link it as you weren’t allowed to record it, ha ha.

They chose certain people to ask questions, and one asked “Is it true that you were auditioning for a West End musical?” to which he replied, “Yes, it’s one of my favourites, with a cool director, and was due to be on over Xmas. I won’t say which one as it’s too frustrating but I tried really hard to get it.”

So I can only think that the questioner must have heard/read it somewhere prior to that.

R280 That was likely the same musical he referenced in the Mt Wolf IG live if I’m remembering correctly.but there weren’t many details

R280 R281 Yeah he really didn’t out much info at all. I so wished he’d got it but there you go. Maybe it’ll get resurrected at some point.

Oh, and there was also a question about his favourite films (yes, again!) and after saying he loved romcoms (yes, we know) he said, “Like Notting Hill, Love Actually and When Harry Met Sally”. I totally missed that at the time.

Wow. I thought the first time WHMS came up was the private IG reboot. But no, I heard it first in June 2020!

R282 *give out*

Syl, that is an excellent comparison of him and Benjamin. Actually, all of his recent characters. Handsome and charming on the surface, but impossible to know what's underneath. If you do get through, it's poisonous and ugly.

Nature makes some of the most poisonous and dangerous plants and animals the most beautiful. I think maybe we can extend that to BB.

Omg Ben liked these pretty pics of FL in record time the FL haters are going to attack again

R284 lmao at this comparison to Benjamin since he actually ended up being an earnest and loving character in the end. For the characters, if it’s “impossible to know what’s underneath” that means the assignment was understood and the acting performance was successful, so thanks for that. As for the real person, how could you possibly know it’s “poisonous and ugly” once you get through for someone you have never met or talked to? You gleaned all that from some likes and pics on social media? Great plant analogy though, sounds like you should consider taking your skills to the fanfic sites instead

R285 Oh oh battle stations! Well, she hasn’t posted in a while and they have just worked together but I guess that won’t carry much weight out there in fangirl land.

She’s back on her bullshit again with the previously deleted post

R288 Just spotted that.

Was thinking some more on the FL post - trying to get her face back out there for some reason? This freaking project which I am already over?!!

R289 Chris Evans liked the post too! The plot thickens. Is the BB/CE/FL love triangle back?

It would be hilarious if Ben posted a pic/story with the same star✨✨emojis from FL’s post today. Emojigate hasn’t been fed in a while

I'd pay money to see a BB/CE/FL love triangle play out. Rom com idea!

R292 I agree! They both play the piano and have similar taste in necklaces so I could see that somehow being part of a Benny B romcom. With some good old fashioned Brit/yank rivalry thrown in

The new emojigate love triangle as represented by the blatant hearts 💙🤍💙 Ben is already starting at a disadvantage because he doesn’t have a dog friend for belly though

R291 R292 OMG yes - where do I pay??!!

R293 That is definitely a Pyrrha necklace he’s wearing, same brand as Ben’s, although I’m not sure he’s got the same ‘talisman’ on the pendant. Not surprised as they have a big celeb following.

R294 Oh - but looks like RomComGate is over before it started? BB’s already the odd man out - CE & FL both using blue hearts as you pointed out. But he could always borrow one of Rob’s ever-present pooches as a prop, I suppose.

S&B being “dangerously close” to starting filming sounds like it’s sooner than the previously reported November timeframe from Callahan. Maybe the other main cast will start earlier. I hope so because Ben needs to get out of the same neighborhood, state, and country as the HO and that cast will be a good influence on him and also help resolve this content desert we are currently in as punishment for getting too rowdy on the DL

R296 Oh yes, sounds like it! Yep, the sooner he’s out of her sphere of influence the better. Although I swear, if he starts up EmojiGate I will get on a plane and verbally abuse him. And he’ll be a lot closer than he currently is so he better ditch those damn emojis, lmfao.

She wasn’t about to let Ben take over the Swiftie game

Ben Barnes’ IG feed.

(Watching paint dry over here).

At least Josh is giving some BTS content two weeks in a row which also makes it seem like they are getting ready to start shooting soon or at least do the much anticipated new cast announcement. I hope whoever they pick is ready for the insanity of the Grishaverse fandom

R286 hmmm maybe I know something you don't and I just dont have to share everything like you middle schoolers do. Stg do you have a thought that you don't have to tweet and cry about? Pretend like there's a weepy emoji here. I'm sure you're still young enough to remember imagination play?

[quote]and also help resolve this content desert we are currently in as punishment for getting too rowdy on the DL

R296 Ha! Because Ben is otherwise so very well known for providing quality content on the regular for his fans!!! True, it must be us. . . .

Too funny..

Ben’s go-to article for Emojigate?

R300 Josh seems like such a nice guy and seems to interact quite a lot on IG. I might drop him a line sometime and ask him to get Barnes’ head sorted out when they’re back on set, lmao.

R301 What do you know that you are holding back?? Sounds like Deuxmoi

R301 R305 Please don’t start another Tea Fight.

A JH fan account reposting the tea. Also shocked there are JH fan accounts

Jared, Jared, Jared, … you’re slipping, boy!

DL told the world this in Jan 2021 (and might’ve been even earlier than that!)

R307 Ahhhh - they’re all beginning to catch up. (Even Jared - who managed not to mention BB’s name in that or any of the linked pages. Still looking out for your pal JJ?)

On behalf of everyone else on this planet - JH Brasil, please do take her and keep her. You’re welcome.

snoozefest now that yall have disregarded teaaaaa because you didnt like the source CALAMITOUS for all very sad

R310 oh good at least you’re now admitting it was a singular “source” instead of plural sources 😋 progress. And I think it was very much regarded….a little too much obviously

Is donald trump composing your posts r310?

R308 I think I missed the story on JJ that you wanted us to see. What was it?

R313 it was a story linking to this article. Maybe that’s why today JH’s social media has the in your face theme of “I don’t need a man I’m busy with my new career!” Which is arguably better than using Ben for pap walks to make BL jealous, but still annoying

LMAO ☠️😂 If this actually happened

R313 It’s still up there (loaded 5 hrs ago) but thanks for posting the article R314

R310 Well don’t let us detain you if you’re bored. Buhbye

R300 Tom Felton shot by Joseph Sinclair aka the photographer for basically every S&B cast photo. I’m hoping Josh is winding people up with BTS shots for this casting announcement for Nikolai 👀 we shall see

R314 Goddammit.. can't stop laughing again..

This whole video is of The Ho with 2 exceptions. In one little part she shows a bit of kinrgy group promo video.

And the second exception? Who can find it? Left side of the screen, look quick or you'll miss it!

Gotta admit, the bitch has some fucking balls to include this pic *AGAIN*.

R318 lmao good catch! I wonder if supermodel Candice Swanepoel knows she’s being used in some ad for a trashy low-rent fitness company started by a failed, wannabe-triple-threat turned influencer and professional yacht girl, that’s probably one failed quarter away from turning into a multilevel marketing scam

R319 Ding ding ding! Fucking unbelievable..

BTW, are we *sure* Jules Ponzi Hough *hasn't* started a marketing scheme yet?

So it's currently 5:30am PST. And Ben's awake and liking things on Twitter.

I’m also in his pacific time zone and awake haha we do occasionally get up early over here. But it does make me wonder when/if he is going to go to the UK as it’s now exactly 2 weeks until his birthday. Since his family can’t travel here I would be surprised if he didn’t go there since this is a big milestone bday. Maybe this early Twitter time means a time zone change, but it’s not that drastically early/late (at least for those of us that are employed) that it would make an 8 hour time difference obvious

R322 Well you said the operative word. For those who are employed. I myself was up that time this morning but I have a job. Except for when Ben has a dawn call time for filming, when is he ever up that early?

But like you said, I was pointing out the *potential* time zone change.

Wasn’t the last time he was up that early the day he posted the Floriana story? So yes, he’s got some reason for being up with the lark as we know Benny’s not a morning person. The new project, on his travels again either within or outside the US…. Barnes, you’re such a tease!!!

Maybe there will be some kind of post today, more breadcrumbs.

R324 Yes that's correct, it was with Flo. Though they all said they wrapped that project. . . ?

However, if Ben follows his usual pattern, he will remain almost completely silent on socials if he's in London. No breadcrumbs for you!!!

Lol Ben likes being closely watched today 👀 what is Calahan’s post about?

Anyone watch Rob's latest Cameo video? He mentions that he had Covid, and that he's been dealing with it for the past few weeks.

R326 Hmmm - interesting! Guess it’s gotta be something S&B related?

R327 Poor Rob! Wonder who/where he picked that up from. Hope he gets better soon.

R327 How can you tell it’s recent? Not doubting it is, just not familiar with Cameo. I have it on good authority (from a credible source I trust) that Ben already had it in 2020 so I’m a little surprised Rob wouldn’t have gotten it too if they were living together. That’s why the Montanagate thing these threads went wild about wasn’t as big of a deal to me (although JH is a psycho bitch and not a good choice for him) because he already had natural immunity by that time which made it a lot less risky. And people believe what they want to believe here so I’m not going to bother arguing with anyone that doesn’t believe me, I’m just surprised at the timing of this with Rob considering that fact and the widely available vaccines now, unless it’s a breakthrough case or reinfection from a different strain. Rob has said he’s at greater risk I think due to diabetes, so it’s probable he might have had a rough time even with a breakthrough case

R329 Woah so BB’s had covid!? Very interesting. But I’m not sure about the natural immunity part as they think that may only last 4-5 months, although they still don’t know enough about it yet and especially about the variants. Are you able to say when in 2020 he had it?

R329 So many people got it after the Westworld premiere right before lockdown as well as a bunch of other events around that time so I’m kinda surprised this hasn’t already been brought up about Ben or at least raised as a credible theory, but maybe that’s not widely known outside the industry. Also it’s the DL and people definitely believe what they want to believe. I hope Rob’s ok. I figured he would have had to show proof of vaccination to travel to Europe where The Gray Man was being filmed recently, which he is supposedly in, so maybe it’s a breakthrough case or maybe he wasn’t able to go due to covid.

Just a PSA.. Please for the love of God do NOT trust in "natural immunity" given the ever increasing number of variants. It is not a "guarantee" anymore. At. All.

R329 R331 Not meant to be rude if this comes across as disbelief, but consider what it would mean if he did have it early on. Was it before he had the live with his doctor friend? Cause the doctor had it and Ben let him do all the talking about what it was like? Ben couldn't have joined in to commiserate and be sure to emphasize how important it was to wear masks and distance?!? Or at any point after for the past year and a bloody half? Can't be bothered to use his platform to tell people "I've had it, you don't want it,wear a mask" or whatever he deemed an appropriate message? *Nothing* from him?!?

Wow. People think we exaggerate when we say he only thinks of himself. *If* this is true.

R329 I can't speak to the rest of your post, but I check Rob's Cameo page quite regularly so I know that the video was uploaded within the past 3-4 days. Also, if you look back at older photos of Rob from around the same time last year, you'll see that he had a lot less hair on his head, compared to now. lol I'm certain it's recent.

R309 Ha Brooks seems to be amazing up his relationship now and taking his turn to parade about with his beau...this article from enews has kept the JH and BB rumours alive by linking in BB. R327 I wouldn't be surprised if Rob got covid if this is the truth. BB's been travelling and has been hanging avout/funking, whatever with JH who has been very actively travelling maskless, partying, escorting etc. throughout a fucking PANDEMIC! R331 if BB did get covid early on and still made all the choices he made then he's a piece of shit and a potential active spreader.

🗣BB just because you had covid doesn't make you immune, you can catch it again and also pass it on. You can be vaccinated and still contract covid and still pass it on. The only thing the vaccine does is POTENTIALLY minimise symptoms!!

I wouldn't be surprised if JH caught covid in Europe and is laying low at the moment posting all her old pics and grifting posts/stories because she wouldn't want to admit that to her fans!

Brooks I hope you spill the beans on what went down that ended the marriage!

R331 I forgot the Westworld 3 launch was in March 2020! Yes, very plausible he picked it up there. If so, his ‘natural immunity’ wouldn’t have meant shit when he went to Montana.

R332 I personally think it would have been a little obnoxious of him to make the live with the doctor about himself when he clearly was trying to position it as hearing from someone with some subject matter expertise. I think he even said at the time basically every actor was going live to preach about being careful so he wanted to do something a little different with his Dr friend. Also he did use his platform to tell people to be careful, you aren’t obligated to tell people you had it and you shouldn’t have had to get it before taking it seriously so I don’t know how him admitting he had it is the only way he could have had any redeeming credibility in your eyes and otherwise he’s just only thinking of himself. I guess he was only thinking of himself when he arranged the live with the doctor too? This response is exactly why it would have been pointless for him to bring it up because people will ALWAYS find something wrong with his behavior especially here. And I agree with the OP it’s pointless to argue about whether or not it’s true with people who only want to believe the worst of him. And I agree about not trusting natural immunity, but our understanding of this and the speed of new variants appearing is very different now than it was in 2020.

Speaking from my own experience, I got covid likely from an event right before we went into lockdown, but at the time the testing situation was such a clusterfuck in the US due to our incompetent federal government causing delays with testing guidance from the CDC, so I was never able to get a test because I wasn’t super high risk and wasn’t hospitalized. I was very sick for 3 weeks, lost my sense of taste and small, but wasn’t able to confirm I actually had it until months later when I was part of an antibody test study with a university (and even then they tell you not to trust that 100%). Nothing about covid is black and white but people are desperate to still use it in a binary way to put people in good or bad buckets. If he had admitted he had it I’m sure people like you would have just accused him of getting it because he wasn’t careful enough. That’s exactly what happened to me with some people so I learned to stop being defensive about it because it’s pointless

R335 We have no idea what natural immunity means yet and scientists were far more optimistic about it back then than they are now. We get it you all hate Ben and always will, and this wasn’t even brought up in his defense it was brought up in relation to the timeline of Rob getting it. But this all just proves it would have been pointless for him to bring up that he had it especially for someone who hates defensive behavior as much as he does, because it just stirs the pot more with the haters

[quote] 🗣BB just because you had covid doesn't make you immune, you can catch it again and also pass it on. You can be vaccinated and still contract covid and still pass it on. The only thing the vaccine does is POTENTIALLY minimise symptoms!!

No one is saying this isn’t true lol I’m sure Ben knew all this which is exactly why it would have been pointless to bring up. But the point of both natural immunity and immunity from a vaccine is that it minimizes the potential for being a carrier and minimizes the chances of serious illness or death. No one expects it to be 100% immunity that’s not how the term is being used and this is why we have an immune system. But you must be one of those people that expects everyone to stay locked away forever even after their risk is minimized through antibodies they developed either naturally or through a vaccine, which is just not feasible in the long term, but I know people like you can’t be reasoned with so this was a waste of time

Ok the Delta variant emerged in the UK around late December 2020. If benny got covid early on, his antibodies would have been useless by then anyway, and the new variant was warned to be worse and easier to spread. Is during a deadly pandemic *really* the time to roll the dice and see if you know better than the collective knowledge of the WHO and the CDC?

And no, I was a Huuuuge fan, I absolutely did not want to find fault in him. That's why I'm this disappointed in his behavior and the subsequent cover-ups.

Also, a good rule of thumb is that you don't sneak around and sweep something under the rug unless you know it's wrong. Unless he's a fucking sociopath, which fuck, maybe he is, he knows what he did was wrong. He just thinks the rules don't apply to him. Because he's so damned special.

I can't speak for anyone else here my issue is that I don't expect BB to share his health status but act accordingly and at least have a care for others in his decision making.

Pre vaccine: choosing to have pics taken of sharing food with "just friends" (ice cream pap), travelling to continents that were in full lockdown at Xmas period, not isolating between trips from lockdown continents and between states etc. etc. Hanging with a girl who has been internationally travelling maskless "for funs" for the entire Pandemic! **If* this new nugget of info is true and he had covid early stages of lockdown this makes his choices after he recovered so much worse and sadly he's not the only celebrity and normal person to be doing it too. Regardless of who you are it's shameful act of disregard and respect for the health of others! His angelic good boy persona throughout all this leaves a bad taste too. His incongruent ass next to JH in all this looks worse at least JH is being truer to herself!

R337 No, I do not hate Ben. As R340 mentions, what I was not impressed with was the travelling and mixing with ‘couldn’t give a fuck’ covidiots like the Ho. And that went for any of the other celebs who were covid travelling.

That's what I keep trying to explain to all the fangirls who message me on IG and ask why I don't have a page for all the other celebrities that did it, too. Because I didn't think they were decent people! Because they didn't do daily IG shows and interview emergency docs and make stay at home memes! Because they were who they always were. Julianne Hough has always been a spoiled, selfish asshole. I just thought better of BB, so I am disgusted with him. They didn't shock or surprise me because I already thought they were assholes. So, don't create a nice guy persona if you don't want to have that cover blown.

R340 Agreed with all of this. Well summarized, Lilly.

As for this group “hating” BB, well, that came from Dec onward for reasons Lilly details above. And this group ranges from disappointment to disgust in its feelings toward BB as a result .

The theory re: JH laying low since her return is interesting, for sure. If she now has it, I doubt she’d ever share since she’d come understandably come under immediate fire. PR nightmare for her.

R339 lol it’s completely incorrect that your antibodies are “useless” against the delta variant. We have only recently learned that antibodies developed naturally or through the vaccines might be LESS effective against that variant at prevention for contracting or carrying covid, but the general consensus is still that having some level of previous immunity is preventing serious illness or death for most healthy people. Since I’ve been part of an antibody study for this I’ve been following it very closely. And we certainly didn’t know any of this back in December 2020 so I don’t know how anyone could be expected to factor into in 2021 data to a 2020 decision. Of course hindsight is always 2020

R340 your argument that him having covid makes his choices “so much worse” is completely devoid of logic. If anything this fact shouldn’t change anything because the guidelines at the time weren’t different for people who have or have not had it. But anyone arguing that having had it previously didn’t minimize risk (but NOT eliminate risk) especially with what was known at that time, is just not using basic facts. Have fun rotting away in your basement for the rest of your life, the rest of us are going to have to rely on using our immune system and vaccines to take calculated risks because we can’t stay locked away for ever

R336 *SIGH* Hi newbie! Unfortunately I think every assumption you made was flawed.

First let me state unequivocally and for the record, I fucking ADORED Ben back then. Fucking loved him. He made me damned happy. I lurked here for years but never posted anything till January. That's when Montanagate broke, and that's when my very confused brain began changing its opinion. Those are facts and provide context for the following.

Yes he asked the doctor for his expertise, which was wise. But as I clearly said, he didn't "commiserate" in any way. He made it seem like it was only the doctor who had had Covid. And Ben has become infamous for his lies of omission recently. No of course he's not obligated to admit, but think of how much more effective it would have been for *Ben's* *fans* if he did say he had it too. And stressed that you don't want it, he knew from personal experience. He could shared his symptoms with the expert and asked him to explain further what happens. Whatever he wanted to make the danger even more real for *his* *fans*. Fewer degrees of separation and all. That in no way makes it all about him, it makes it more inescapably real for his fans. He could have done so much more with that live but, again *IF* this rumor is true, he chose to hide and simply check a box instead.

And wasn't that live in April (if memory serves)? That was *just* after lockdown. If he caught it earlier it would have been *literally* at the beginning of it! Who the hell would have faulted *ANYONE* for catching this before it was widely understood what was going on?!? I promise you, I wouldn't have done so. I would have been scared to death for him and, if we knew about long Covid back then, would have hoped and "prayed" that he wouldn't have suffered it. Because like I said, I *adored* him back then.

As I said, my opinion of him fell after Montanagate broke, and then it fucking CRATERED after he, instead of acknowledging/explaining what happened, he futilely desperately tried to cover it up. Just think, if he had only behaved like an adult, and even explained after the fact that he'd already had it and so thought himself safe and that was the reason he did it. He believed he wasn't putting people at risk. I promise you, I would have given him the benefit of the doubt. My opinion of him would have rebounded, and I likely would have gone back to just lurking here. Cause I wanted to believe So. Fucking. Badly. that he had just made an innocent mistake. But he never even tried to make me feel that way. Instead he doubled down in a fit of arrogance.

BTW, what's the suspected timeline for this? Cause that first maskless pap walk was the beginning of April. Before or after he might have had it.

Basically, you're entirely wrong in your assumptions about the "haters" here. We likely never would have turned to hating him if he had just explained at some point that he'd had it and believed himself to be immune. The past TEN fucking threads likely would have been entirely avoided. Again, *IF* this rumor is true.

And by the by, your subsequent "defensive behavior" after a couple replies really calls into question your motives for bringing this to us now in my eyes personally. I don't speak for anyone else of course.

R345 That unfortunately was me sneaking a little break at work and definitely not the bestest and most properest English ever with my lack of proofreading. Sorry for all the little typos n' such throughout.

R338 I'm happy to discuss points of views and hear other people's opinions on their take on a situation BB related or not. Yes I'm speaking hypothetically of BB and Rob situation but you only focused on BB early lockdown choices completely avoiding later 2020 and this year, which is an important factor to my argument.

Also in your response to me you just got personal and rude which isn't an argument, just avoidance. Your totally right it's not black or white, good or bad which is what YOU are doing. I had 1 week of working from home when our country went into lockdown mid March 2020 and my job requires me to be working in public since everyday. People can still work, socialise and do day to day things by risk assessing and still being safe by making "good enough choices" using risk taking actions and thinking, prioritising needs against wants. It's not an all or nothing situation it's common fucking sense...this Pandemic has shown some people have common sense, some don't and some don't give a fuck unfortunately there is alot of the latter...Ben Barnes included.

I don't need you to agree with me that's not my intent. It's my opinion and I'm saying my piece and letting you and others say theirs. If you like it great if not who cares but don't get personal. P.s I was a BB fan and adored him I was shocked, disappointed and angry that him and other celebrities is using his white entitlement in a global pandemic for his own selfish gains all because he doesn't like staying in one country or state for a long period of time. Yes he has to travel for work I get that but for jollies and getting his hole...No!

R345 I’m not the one who brought this info up first, that was someone else and is easily verifiable. But as someone who had it early on and was later part of an ongoing antibody study and has been closely following the changing guidance around natural and vaccine derived immunity, i know some of the binary arguments you guys are making are completely ridiculous and I can see why someone at the end of last year would have thought their behavior was less risky if they already had it, using the info we knew back then, NOT what we know now. You guys are expecting 2021 knowledge to have been factored into 2020 decisions which is ridiculous. We had barely started sequencing variants by December and we dont even know when he had it.

The fact that some of you are saying him having it makes it all so much worse and some of you are saying it would have completely changed things and some are saying he didn’t use his platform enough while others are saying he used it too much is exactly why he probably felt he didn’t owe anyone an explanation, because it ultimately wouldn’t change anything there are always going to be some people who hate everything you do no matter what

I knew at the end of 2020 that Delta was a worry in the UK, and I live in the US. No, we didn't know *anything* about immunity after having it or not. *That's my point.* Even if he'd already had it, Delta was in the UK. He was in the UK. He left the UK and was out and about in Montana THE NEXT DAMN DAY. In a restaurant with ZERO SOCIAL DISTANCING. He rolled the damn dice. And by then, we all knew that he was gambling with more than his own life. So yeah, he's a selfish dickhole and he can go fuck himself and I will continue to fucking post my bullshit for one person to see. He fucked up and he has a public status. In a pandemic, doing shit like that puts him right up there with Donald Fucking Trump.

Ok, hold up. We def knew by Dec 2020 that antibodies were good for a handful months, and not indefinitely. But we don’t know when he had it, so he may have felt he was traveling during his antibody period. But to my mind, the issue really is his flagrant violation of the rule to quarantine upon return from the UK. We know that he knew he needed to quarantine on entry to Canada for S&B post-production, so he can’t claim ignorance here. He was manipulating the rules/details to his advantage, which is something he historically admits to doing & feeling like is an acceptable exception to lying. He has a fuzzy relationship with the truth.

R348 Ugh! This will be the last time I engage with you as your argument is incoherent, advoidant and not inclusive to everyone's perspective. You either "don't read good", need glasses and/or purposefuly twisting people's words to suit's your narrative which is zoning in on a very specific small dot in a very big picture of BB covidiot travelling mingling in a pandemic. Good luck with your life, I think you will need it!

Somebody needs to go on Cameo and ask Rob to make a video talking about life with Ben. Just innocuous questions like, "Who does the washing up?" Are they like The Odd Couple, or do they have similar housekeeping standards? Shit like that.

R351 LMAO I’m not R348 but since when did arguments have to be “inclusive to everyone’s perspective?” The whole point of an argument is literally to argue an alternative perspective. Sounds like you are actually the one who don’t read too good. Zoning in on a very specific dot (I.e. a new piece of info) is actually important to an argument if it has the potential to change part of the picture. This all sounds very Orwellian to “reject the evidence of your eyes and ears” when all anyone can go on is the evidence they have at the time they make a decision, and it is true that the evidence on covid in 2020 is different from what we now know in 2021. And that’s basically actually the only real evidence here because everything else is just assumptions based on obscure social media clues and people’s statements on a gossip site, with the cornerstone of the scandal apparently being a pic that may or may not have been taken in the UK but that no one has actually verified. It seems you are also twisting the narrative by rejecting some info that might now change the perspective slightly and cherry-picking what you want to consider as fact from a place of emotions.

R348 As I said, I snuck a break at work (still there..) so didn't have time to check how many posters there were. If I conflated you with someone else I apologize.

But. How does any of what you just said push back against the critiques I made in R345? I never brought up antibodies. I never brought up changing guidance/data-knowledge. I never brought up 2021 rules. You tagged my response, yet you didn't speak to one single critique I made. Why not, and would you like to do so now?

But to piggyback on one thing smartass brought up.. that he knew it was wrong to travel. He claimed he had a properly socially distanced visit with the family in October in his Mt. Wolf video. It's theorized he stayed in Shoreditch house by some. If he believed himself to be immune and unable to spread it, why bother? I'll give the benefit of the doubt and say his parents are higher risk with their comorbidities, so maybe he wasn't taking any chances. (Unless of course he lied AGAIN about it being socially distanced.) Did he have a second socially distanced visit for Christmas then? Or did he think he was still immune then? But why did he leave so early? Did he know he was a risk? Or if he thought he wasn't, his pre-vaccine parents were very much at risk, so why didn't he spend as much time as possible with them just in case, god forbid, it was the last time he saw them. Especially considering that MASSIVE winter surge in cases AND DEATHS that was happening exactly at that time. Had his family already gotten it and managed to recover? Again, why the hell leave early!! Shouldn't he have not stopped hugging them and thanking his lucky stars that they survived? No matter what possible explanation I can imagine of his Christmas trip, it always begs the question, why did he leave early? Because he had to rush off back to sex with a woman that lives 5minutes away and he would see in a week anyway??? Instead of time with his very at risk family??? Or, did he know it was wrong and entirely risky for him to travel, but did it anyway.

(btw, why did he bother to have a mask on OUTSIDE for the Montana dogsled video? If he thought he was immune???)

I've said before here and I will stand by even now.. if all he did was his usual go and stay home for Christmas, I would not have blamed him. I freely admit I would not have been above doing the exact same thing. Like you (or the other poster??) said, it's risk assessment and taking all available steps to mitigate that risk. But that's not all he did. And allllllll the rest of what he did, either in reality or in potentia here, STILL makes me call into question ALL his Covid related choices. And it does nothing *yet* to improve my opinion of him.

R353 Ha Syl probing Rob is a good shout but will he give it up tho? I'd imagine BB would have got him to sign an NDA before he moved in. His house, his terms and rules! I would love to have seen that convo and Robs face when he realises he's now under lock and key before reluctantly signing.

If I was Rob I would be pissed by BB's behaviour coupled with the obligation to look grateful at staying at his place with possible underlying health issues must bring up conflicting feelings.

I think it was made pretty clear in the live with Saffy that Tricia had it. That’s why Saffy said Ben was worried about his mom. Maybe you all just missed that. Maybe you guys actually miss a lot of things and don’t actually know enough about anything to jump to the extreme conclusions you do. But then how else would you spend your time, right?

R357 Hey, no need to be nasty. If you remember something that others have overlooked or possibly didn’t see/read, just share it. It’s additional insight.

We suspect that Tricia had an Ovarian cancer bout a few years back, so in that case she’s immunocompromised & much higher risk. He may have been referring to that.

R357 Are you claiming to have first hand knowledge about what exactly he meant? Because I know there is another reason that explains his very justified reason to be worried about her. But perhaps you're the one that missed*that* fact dear.

Ha! JH giving us an apparently current video of her health status which is apparently fit and healthy. loved how she paused before saying what she did in Europe! Nearly caught yourself out Jules saying..fucking, grifting your crap wine and covid spreading. Loved the comments too, one asked if she had found a husband! 😂

R360 What the fuck is wrong with her face?!? Chemical peel? Sunburn? COVID FEVER? And nice, now she’s plugging NordicTrack. Either she’s struggling to raise cash, or she has freebies tonearn with promos.

R358 It is sad to hear his mum has/had cancer. Its so scary with family members/loved ones being unwell and have life threatening illness living through the pandemic that's the scary side to it all, the stress of health alone is impacting physically and mentally.

R361 sunburnt probably! And prob both to needing cash and getting freebies but bloody hell she's grifting ALOT! Must be keeping herself busy with all the Brooks and girlf media attention they are getting. He does have a type tho!

R363 Who, Brooks? He likes athletic blondes with an entrepreneurial spirit…

R361 Wow yeah she’s looking flushed, for sure. Maybe all that grifting - sorry, rowing - that she’s been doing. It’s strenuous work! And poor Benny B hasn’t been able to like any of her posts lately because they’re all shilling. She’s got nothing else on the books as far as we know, so looks like this is gonna be it from now on.

R358 Yes because this bunch is clearly so receptive to new information. R359 I’m well aware of that reason too thanks.

I still liked it better here before the invasion of the fangirls.

R366 Let's analyze shall we?

Fact: It was mentioned Ben was worried about his mom.

Fact: There is a known comorbidity that puts her at a much higher risk with Covid.

My analysis: They were likely referring to his mom's greatly increased risk when mentioning Ben was worried about her. (Especially because he stays home for her.)

Your analysis: It was pretty clear his mom had it cause Ben was worried about her. (This leap of faith made *apparently* even with knowing about his mom's risk factors.)

Tell me again, which of us is jumping to conclusions? Is that pretty clear too?

R368 Were they referring to the part where the Dr said he checked in on Ben’s mom? That’s the part that I thought was more serious, not just when they were talking about worrying in general. I haven’t watched it since then though so I’m not sure

R367 Ha yes I bet Ben feels the same way too on his SM accounts😉

If ur needing a laugh Robs hilarious in his cameo videos! People have paid for bday video message requests for their loved ones and his videos are depressingly dull, he looks like a hobo and gives a half assed attempt at congratulating them before droning on about hating birthdays, getting old and questioning his current career trajectory. He's like the 'Bad Santa' of cameo and I love it!

R367 Curious which posts today smack of fangirls to you. Are we only allowed to ponder whether Ben’s bi?

R371 you could also talk about making him gargle on your jizz. That would be acceptable.

Maybe the Ben Barnes threads need to split into two 😁 One for the people who completely despise everything about the irredeemable Ben Barnes and everything he does and just want to stew in the remnants of their shattered dreams from the impossibly high pedestal they placed him on. And another for the people who are sometimes inexplicably and ambivalently interested in him and his career and enjoy the career and silly love life speculation and occasionally critiquing his life choices without dabbling too much in the cyber bullying. People who have opposing opinions aren’t the same thing as the fan girls on Twitter, despite being more successful than some others here at getting your messages out to them by speaking their language 😉

Fine. New people, go make a new thread.

Lol. Which are the old people? Which are the new?

It’s kinda cute Ben and Rob both have a corner of their room with a relaxi chair, at least one plant, and a token picture where they take videos from 😂 I had no idea cameo stored some videos. A friend working on The Gray Man who was occasionally on set said that set in one of Rob’s videos looked familiar and he hadn’t heard anything about Rob having covid so I assume they didn’t overlap, but he’s also not the type to confirm/discuss anything about the talent so I doubt he would say anything even if he knew.

R374 R375 A thread for the old people

R376 interesting about the Rob on set info... I hadn't heard of cameo either until it was brought here by another poster and brought it to the thread. Looking at other people's profiles how do they gauge the prices for their services cos there are some way inflated rates compared to star rating and odd prices. Yes the boys keep a tidy house too!

Well, JH’s post for NordicTrack has 5,090 likes after 17 hours. And her Therabody post has 14,833 likes after nearly 2 days. Safe to say that even her real followers have some major fatigue with her shilling at this point. But if we weren’t 100% certain that a huge % of her 4.9 million followers were bought, we should be now.

I was recently sent a few articles related to this director and this one had some tidbits about Ben. It’s interesting to see other people’s opinions on him. But trigger warning for the oldies, it’s not negative.

R380 Good article…. I like all the BTS stuff. Hearing about him from other people’s viewpoints.

His follow count’s dropped to 249 - but very boringly it’s Emma Mackey, she’s deactivated her account again.

R379 I had noticed that too about JH likes etc and that's after all the follow up interations after posting, it s wayyyy low and defo a reflection of the true "influence" she has on the web, thank God. I hadn't realised that Nina had 24m followers, how?! Thats ambitious and for her also a very low like count also.

R380 that article is well written and was a different take on the usual S&B story/actor/character/BTS reflection. No doubt Ben is an articulate, responsive actor but the general didn't seem to me like a huge stretch to fill following punisher, GD, westworld and other similar roles of polarising duality of psyche, conflict of character and morality etc etc.

It will be interesting to see how Ben's trajectory follows after the S&B series. Just like in the described article it could be THE pivotal moment for the actor...but will Ben recognise and capture it and make it his own?

R380 With the exception of his History Boys snafu, every description I've ever seen speaks to Ben's professionalism, affability and talents working on a set amongst the rest of the cast and crew. It has been well documented throughout the years. Why on earth would anyone need a trigger warning over it? I especially don't considering I read this months ago when it first dropped. Perhaps you should reaquaint yourself with the actual reasons we're upset with him. Cause they have nothing at all to do with his presence on a set.

R382 I love that we have our chosen "lanes" when it comes to sleuthing. ;) Thanks.

R384 Anyone who says anything positive about Ben here is apparently triggering enough to get labeled an obsessed and unwelcome fan girl now so I get the trigger warning. Not all of us have time to find and read everything on Ben as soon as it comes out so I appreciate the article post R380

I'm going to explain my stance again, but I'll use small words so that you understand. He traveled unsafely during a pandemic. I adored him, both as an actor and as a decent person, and was therefore disappointed both by his actions that were so contradictory to his publicly stated views on pandemic safety, as well as his attempts to hide and cover up the evidence. I have never called into question his competence as an actor nor his ability to work well with others. K?

R386 Holy shit you don’t need to keep explaining why you hate Ben we get it and there are many many threads beating this dead horse. The trigger warning was because anyone who posts something that doesn’t fit the “I hate Ben” narrative or has a different viewpoint that doesn’t “incorporate all perspectives” of what a shitty person he is automatically gets labeled a fan girl and isn’t welcome. You’ve got your point across I won’t post anymore about him

I just don't understand why you must accompany every post with something nasty like trigger warnings or make threads for geriatrics, assuming that was you. If not, my apologies. Your information is fine. The unnecessary sarcasm is just that: unnecessary.

R388 but it’s ok to say you liked it better before the “fan girls” were here and said they needed a different thread? K

I said it liked it better before the fangirls were here, yes. The tone has changed considerably since he has a new audience from shadow & bone that has appeared to have joined our discourse. I was here for years before that. I liked it the way it was. Someone else said that perhaps we needed two. I merely agreed and said that the new folks should be the ones to go since the same people have been coming here to bitch about his paranoia for literal years. K?

Haven’t you all been wanting to spread this news about covid traveling and his shitty relationship with JH to his other fans even before S&B? Kinda ironic that someone who was actually successful at doing that is such scourge to your precious echo chamber of hate threats

I want to spread the covid shit. I don't care where he puts his dick. Kinda hope it falls off.

R385 (though intended to speak to anyone who considers themself a. . . positive Ben poster, if that's an acceptable though hopefully unnecessary distinction)

A positive comment is not unwelcome. A positive comment does not make you a fangirl. Watch. . . to this day I still think he has the sexiest fucking eyes. They do it for me, and maybe it's my kink, but they're fucking gorgeous. And fuck yes would I enjoy getting my fingers into that hair! Couldn't care less if no one or everyone else here agrees. But I also have no reason at all (prior to the last minute or so) to post about that here. Most importantly because no one would care, but also because it contributes nothing to the "conversation" at hand. If you do want to see that kind of banter however, go back in time about 15ish threads or so. At present, things changed and so did we. They still haven't changed back, so neither have we.

Speaking solely for myself, I in no way need an echo chamber. But I would hope and expect that if a debate over thoughts/beliefs starts, cogent and relevant rebuttals would be lobbed back. Instead, just as examples lately, we get accused of just not knowing what we're talking about and therefore obviously being wrong, or when the rebuttals are lobbed the collective "your way," the replies to said rebuttals often seem to immediately devolve into "well you obviously hate him so much there's no changing your minds and this was a waste of time!!!" That's basically the equivalent of the infamous teary eyed teenage girl going, "Oh yeah?!?!?!?" and immediately storming out of the room in a huff. And that's why the fangirls moniker is being bandied about. Because that's the perceived maturity level of the rather anticlimactic endings to some of these debates. It's unbecoming for confident adults and rather annoying to have to read. Your feelings should not be hurt if someone disagrees with you. If someone pushes back against you, push back against them if you can with cogent points. If you can't push back against them, just stay silent. Don't reply with something anywhere even in the vicinity of "OMG it's ridiculous and so boring how much you hate Ben!!" Because that's something a fangirl would do.

We should not ever expect to change each other's minds, and we should never have to win the argument to make a debate worthwhile. If you have thoughts/articles that you think are worth posting, then share them, you have every right. If you have rebuttals that you think make important critiques that should be established, then absolutely step into the bullpen, you have every right. You do not have the right however, to be free from replies. If we have positive ones, we're going to post them. If we have negative ones, we're going to post them. If we don't have anything worthwhile to reply. . . eh, probably not going to post anything. Just that simple. If you want to push back against us, do it, but please don't expect a safe space when you do.

And don't give sarcastic trigger warnings in some futile attempt to further your victim status here. That's just childish.

R391 This has no context whatsoever and as such, at least appears to be rather contradictory. Is it some subtle way of re-upping your admission that you speak the language of fangirl? Because otherwise it sounds like you're tired of hearing us talk about his Covid shit, but you're really effective when you talk about his Covid shit. Care to expound further?

But also, literally speaking, what the fuck is a hate threat?

Will Poulter is doing serious things. Our ben is doing shadow and bone me, daddy.

R395 Shadow and Bone Me Daddy.

Gold.

*slow clap*

Completely ludicrous and lacking all self-awareness that a thread that’s 21 pages long would actually have unacceptable degrees of obsession for content in these posts. And that seeing someone as being a fully formed human with both good & bad traits, instead of a caricaturized, irredeemable villain, makes you an obsessive, crazed fangirl. That’s rich.

R397 the hostility you display, coupled with your attempts at psychiatrically diagnosing us en masse lead me to consider that you may have Grandiose delusions that could have stemmed from your attachment to your parents. How fascinating.

Tell me about your potty training process as a child.

R398 Ah, but darling, why so defensive if you’re without fault? And didn’t you want bitchy? Ask and you shall receive.

This is beyond parody lol you guys get triggered by a trigger warning and hate the “nasty” and “unnecessary” sarcasm but want a thread like the olden days where people were more bitchy and less obsessed (whatever that means 🙄) then say stuff like it’s fine to push back but “don’t expect a safe space when you do” but when people did push back you guys say you liked it better in your safe space before the mean “fan girls” disrupted the tone of the hate threads with some different perspectives. LMAO at least it’s Sunday I’ll put a request in to Ben to post a cryptic emoji to get everyone tittering away again.

R400 It gets better. The holier-than-thou old guard posted in their new thread a very unbitchy unearthed detail about one of Ben’s ancient history relationships that we were expressly told were fangirl material to continue dissecting. Apparently, back in 2018 Ben & Peyton were posting on Pinterest interior decorating & remodeling ideas, and BB’s Pinterest acct was followed by mama Tricia. So that relationship almost graduated to co-habitation. I wonder what curtailed it? Was it some overlap with Rayana/Pixie? His immediate departure for Gold Digger? Something else?

Well here’s a pic with Peyton and Rob standing in their light blue dinning room a few short months before it was painted the darker blue color on the Pinterest board lol. Everyone is so sure Peyton is out of his life but why?

R402 I don’t think that’s Peyton… or am I in the minority in thinking that?

I think the face and height look like Peyton, but she has lighter hair in that pic than normal so it’s hard to be certain. I’ve done this exact thing (creating/sharing Pinterest board ideas) with guy friends who wanted help redecorating and a blue like that gives off more of a “bachelor pad/don’t make it look like a girl lives here” vibe than something she would have picked if she were moving in, so if it’s real I’m not sure how much we can read into how serious it was from this IMO

For Ben or his Secretary Rob whenever they get caught up on all the shenanigans here

R399 it was obviously a joke. Potty training? C'mon. We need emojis in here. I will start saying THIS IS A JOKE. Will that help? I'm a smartass. Kinda my thang.

R401 There was definitely overlap there. Also those are the only two we KNOW about. Possible that Peyton didn't know she was sharing him. If I were her, finding that out would be a deal breaker and could have been why they broke up. When did BB stop seeing Rayana? When did he stop seeing Pixie?

"Oh darling, I've picked out possible nursery ideas. What? What do you mean you have two other girlfriends?"

Reverybody What's beyond parody at this point are so many just shouting into the aether. These posts repeatedly lack all context and they are impossible to follow logically. They all lump bits of multiple posts into one single reply as if the point that's attempting to be made can apply to the entirely of the posts in question. It's beyond lazy and it never works in the defensive way it's intended. It just makes you sound like an idiot. This forum has the R function for a reason, for the love of God learn to use it. And once you learn how to use it, make sure what you're saying applies solely to that reference post. This is not difficult in the least and refusing to do it is akin to admitting you don't actually have a counter point at all. You're just here to shit in public.

See watch: R399 If you actually took that seriously and gave a serious reply thinking you won one you are a fucking idiot. Learn to recognize sarcasm. It's not difficult in the least!

R402 I've never thought that was Peyton as it doesn't look like her to me. But below is a candid shot of her and Ben if you want to compare. There are others too from back in the archives if you want to search those.

R408 Another quick reference shot of Peyton for comparison.

I did think this was Peyton at the time, look at the jawline and eyebrows? Her hair does look lighter but hey, maybe JH’s bestie gave her a makeover! Ben was still in Budapest when Rob had his party so maybe he felt it was safe to invite her over. But yeah, as both R402 and R407 mention, even if there was possibly a bit of a nasty end to the relationship - he didn’t look particularly happy when they got papped in 2019 with Anna P’s husband, and from what we could tell it seemed to end pretty quickly but what do we know! - but she still seems to be in the same friendship group as they were in 2016/2017.

But I think whatever relationship they had is definitely history, but the Pinterest thing is definitely intriguing!

This isn't the first I've seen.. they're getting restless..

Maybe they should start another manifesting circle? The last thousand they tried really worked well.

R411 I think he’s in the UK where he is notoriously more silent. Social media is a job for him that he doesn’t do on vacation unlike JH

R400 R401 shhhhh we can't bring up his past rships. only the HO is allowed to be discussed here

R413 All of these threads seem to mostly revolve around his relationships, past and (alleged) present. Which ones aren't we allowed to bring up, and who says we can't?

R414 That's the same Dissociative Disorder account that originally posted the link to the Pixie model's IG. They're still bitter about getting yelled at for (admitting to) purposefully causing her pain. Go figure. *shrug*

R414 HAHAHA you hags really don't know what hit you. not that it matterss but there really were five of us on this account n all those pussies jumped ship once it got nasty but ur left w me BELIEVE IT OR NOT I REALLY DON'T CARE. and yes hunty i did expose ha but thats what happens when ur a dummy posting ur celeb hookups on public accounts. im riding guilt free still OH WELL that bitch should get betta friends

R414 isn't that what your other four personalities did when they "jumped ship"? Got betta friends? <--- sarcasm intended as an insult

R413 they went beyond discussing whether she dated him or not. Feel free to scroll back, I don't want to drag it all out again.

R414 Thanks for clearing that up. Not sure from their response what the truth is but that person seems to have bad intentions.

R417 That said, are we not allowed to discuss Pixie because of the manner which her information was acquired? It seems people are okay with discussing the other women but if this is some legal matter or even ethical, I don't want to go against the group grain.

R418 there just isn't anything to discuss. Everything they were saying were supposition and just plain falsehoods. They attacked her character, her looks and everything they could think about, spammed her with rude messages on IG and basically harassed her for like three days straight over nothing. She was a wreck, had to take her IG private and lost work from her second job. All over someone she hasn't had any contact with for literal years. They're the reason he's the paranoid bastard we've all been speculating about for years, because if he looks twice at anyone of the opposite gender, his rabid fangirls do their best to humiliate her and ruin her life for having the nerve to capture the attention of the man they think they're going to marry.

R419 That's what I get for skimming. That is horrible. How would they even know anything about her character? And her looks? Well she is pretty but is there only one way Ben's girlfriends are supposed to look? Tamsin was never my cup of tea but I'd never go as far as to attack her. Awful all around.

I will say though, isn't all of this gossip supposition? None of it is confirmed with any of these women. We actually don't know if anything we're discussing is true or even vaguely in the realm of truth. Since those SS were posted and we saw what was said from Pixie's friend, I suppose I am just wondering if we are disregarding everything the original account said or if anyone has discovered truth to it?

Regardless, there is no justification for people being horrible to her. I'm merely adding her to the list of alleged women he's left in his wake.

R418 Nothing illegal happened. There's nothing wrong with discussing her as a topic that relates to Ben. Because Ben is what we discuss here and she's (newly) related to him. What just about everyone (myself included) considered wrong was when the "discussion" escalated to the point this random girl repeatedly got harassed in real time by multiple vicious cunts that came to this thread and saw her information. Because trolls live here now. Was it well established typical DL trolls? Was it Ben's fangirls? Who the fuck knows but it doesn't matter anyway. They're dickless assholes regardless, pure and simple.

We link and discuss things that indirectly relate to Ben ALL the damned time. But as far as I know, that discussion stays here, it does not extend out into leaving a hateful mark on the linked accounts and their real lives that they can't "escape." Because it shouldn't. Those random people/accounts should never know you were there looking. If it's public, then it's available for everyone to see, but just view the shit and leave. Don't be a fucking asshole and directly harass them in any way.

R418 I am in agreement with you. I did happen to check her account today (under my fake account, of course) and it looks like it is public again but there are no tagged pictures of her anymore. Guessing we missed whatever proof was on there since I saw others found pictures of her and Ben. Have no fear, I will leave her alone.

Back to the Pinterest page, it's occurring to me we don't even know his favorite color. Are we to assume blue based on that Pinterest? Is this the level of gossip we're reduced to? Come on Ben, breathe some life into us.

R422 Reason number 143 to never let anyone know you're viewing their shit. Once they know, they'll delete all the evidence and you're shit outta luck with nothing to show for your assholery.

But anyway, Ben once (many years ago) answered the question of his favorite color by answering with "well I just painted my bedroom a light grey." The color it remains to this day. He also more recently said if he had to choose only one color to wear for the rest of his life it would be black. Then again, between his (presumably) decorative telephone, his sneakers, his beanie hat, and whatever else isn't springing to mind right now, he very clearly also loves BRIGHT orange as an accent color. You do you!

For anyone interested in seeing the new darker blue of his dinning room, which was the color on the Pinterest board

“Bachelor pad blues” paint color

R423 Popping back in cause I remembered another reference if anyone cares.. During a Jackie and Ryan panel he was asked his favorite color and he flat out answered grey. Katie Heigl questioned that claiming grey wasn't a color, so Ben took a beat and verrrrrrrrryyy questioningly answered "puurrrrrrrpplllllllllllleeee??????

I haven't yet remembered a reference where he mentions blue, but. . . . *shrug*

R423 ha I didn’t know he had an orange telephone and sneakers too! I appreciate those details 👌🏻

R425 Nice. Maybe he took inspiration from Peyton's Pinterest. I wonder if he got close to that with anyone else.

For some of us who are newer this thread would someone be able to put together a short blurb with the women he dated and what years you think it happened/any details about how you think they met? I am trying to catch up on many threads but it's a lot and there are a lot of confusing initials.

Lol I wonder what caused this comment? 🤨

Ben liked Kit’s post around 3:30-4am pacific. I’m guessing he’s not in LA

R430 Yeah he also just liked a tweet and it's 5am LA time.

Breadcrumbs.

I have post notifications set on my work related Instagram for quite a few people Ben follows (not because I’m a superfan, I just work around this industry and need to pay attention to casting announcements, studio updates, releases, etc) and I’ve noticed lately that Ben has already liked some posts by the time I open them (Lisa Joy, Kit, Calahan are recent ones that come to mind). It makes me wonder if he has just suddenly figured out post notifications and has decided to turn them on for personal use, or if he finally has a social media manager and has selected certain accounts and post parameters for them to like for him.

R430 R431 That’s 12 noon/1pm UK time if he’s over here, but not his ‘usual’ IG slots, so not sure where he is but agree it’s unlikely he’s in LA.

The Ho’s unusually quiet…

R434 maybe she’s in the UK with BB

Do we know who his UK (London) friends are to chevk their IG accounts?

Oh fuck. Y’all see Ben’s new IG story? This is going to be an analysis shitshow.

R437 Yup. That’s definitely London undergrowth 😂 it’s breezy here today so I think he’s on the Common

Oh come on, what the hell is up with the new story? He goes silent for weeks and comes up with that?

R434 R435 Not sure why JH has been so quiet on social media lately but her bff Kristy posted a couple Instagram stories with her in them (filmed at JH's home in LA) on Saturday night.

JH just posted about summertime vacation, and I was like ANOTHER?!?

R322 The first 'early' (for LA time) Instagram like I saw by Ben was on August 5th so I assume he's been in the UK since at least Thursday.

Unless he’s gone completely crazy and got a red heart balloon and planted it in the bushes so he could take a video and add a song and mean for it to have some sort of symbolism….I don’t think there’s must to learn from that story he probably just found it on a walk

R443 a walk in the UK* or some other green place. Definitely not LA

I wonder who and how many brunette models he’s been sending “you up?” messages to at all hours while he’s adjusting to the time change 😂 I’m sure he has a whole harem of them on that side of the pond

R445 Do we have reason to think Ben is that much of a horndog? Maybe he's just visiting family without booty calls

R439 I think he just thought ‘well they worked out where I was from the deleted Xmas story of my walk in the woods’ and just thought he’d throw it out there, so we know he’s not in LA.

R431 So I just got to check the account of the tweet he liked, and it at least appropriately labels itself as NSFW. So Ben's continuing to be very selective when it comes to liking tweets..

But it's a picture of someone, maybe this girl, getting a tattoo of Billy Russo's mask.

So did he like it just to continue to fan the flames of his most utterly obsessive super fans? Or was he sending subtle messages by liking the quote she included?

[quote]This…This face…has everything that I ever did wrong written all over it. And when I look in the mirror, I want to see…I want to see the best version of myself again. Do you think that’s possible? Do you think that that’s possible for someone like me?

Trying to tell us something maybe?

R446 His time in NY working on the Punusher indicates that yes, he lines up sidepieces. We’ve not yet uncovered anything for Gold Digger or S&B shoots though.

R448 I’m pretty sure that’s just a direct quote from season 2 of the Punisher. It sounds like something Billy said the Floriana’s character in the hospital. So I’m not sure it means much besides just liking the tattoo and quote from his previous project. I haven’t memorized the dialogue though I only saw it once like a normal person haha so I could be wrong. That account is definitely a Billy Stan

Maybe Derek is giving BB dancing lessons so he can land his next Broadway/west end role. If he and JH are finally finished I can’t imagine any other reason for Ben trying to start or restart a friendship with the D-Ho. But the thought of them dancing together is hilarious and ludicrous lol

A clue

R450 No it definitely is a direct quote, that's not in question. Someone above asked if he finally got a SM manager, which made me laugh, so I mused that he's either still liking the insane fan stuff, or maybe seeing that quote again triggered him.

But of course, he'd have to be able to feel guilt and remorse for his recent missteps for the latter to be true, and who the fuck knows if he's capable of that anymore.

The watch is set to 11:11

R452 HA!!!! Yeah, stop time before you turn 40 you pathetic bastard!!

Well I hope he picked up some tips by watching what Taylor did over that last few weeks because she’s annoyingly masterful at this kinda of stuff. Is Chloe’s story a hint too? Seems random

R454 💥

The description of the music video for the song Chloe has in her story. Red Ballon? Ugh I hate that I just looked that up and am intrigued now lol

“The single's video was directed by Jamie Thraves and is reminiscent of the classic short film, The Red Balloon.”

R458 A red balloon* 🎈

R446 Wasn't he with Peyton decorating their future home during the Punisher? I'm having trouble keeping track.

R449 Apologies, the above reply was for you.

Really would appreciate if someone could do a blurb with some dates....

R461 Yes he was. We also know that he was seeing Rayana and another woman we refer to as Pixie, and are fairly certain there was overlap. And that just we we know/have confirmed. I’ll let someone else speak to timelines. Note that it’s all been discussed ad nauseum already, so unsure of appetite here to dredge up/rehash, tbh.

I'm very curious about his obsession with hearts these days. I spot another small heart within the Coming Soon sticker on his latest Instagram story. The heart isn't part of the original CS sticker, I just checked. Little hearts showing up everywhere..

I don’t think a timeline blurb would be that helpful honestly and it might be counter productive if it leads to thinking like someone started to allude to above like “he can’t have been doing X at this time because that was when we thought he was with Y” and could lead to unnecessarily dismissing other “clues.” Most of the stuff here if based on follows and likes and a few scattered pictures but that doesn’t say anything about whether these were actually more than friendships or whether they were monogamous which would mean overlap and some inaccuracies were likely. Also I know at least one of the however X many hasn’t shown up here at all and I’m fairly certain I know of one more. I’m not going to give any info on that I’m just saying it for the point that DL only knows a portion of the potential girls and we don’t know what portion that is. Someone else feel free to make a timeline I’m just saying take it with a grain of salt because it always seems to be changing

R433 No, but his IG post and 2nd story are good for a time slot. *shrug* You know, I really cannot believe it took him this long to go home. Considering he claimed he was maintaining socially distanced visits last year, how did he not rush home to properly see the fam as soon as he was fully innoculated (assuming he actually is)?!? Did he have to literally be home this whole time to work on this project?? Otherwise seems so unlike him.

R463 Heh, I missed that! Cause I actually thought to myself before, "Well at least there's no goddamn emojis in this one (the post caption)!" Silly me thinking he took our advice to heart! ;)

R464 Personally I don't consider it worth bringing up old ones without a specific reason, therefore I've never specified out in the open. So are you referring to ones from years ago, or something more recent?

Is that a golden snitch on that book he’s leaning on? Or have the fan girls just rubbed off on me and now I see things that unnecessarily tie him to Harry Potter. Any Harry Potter related stuff would have massive licensing hurdles so I kinda doubt it unless he’s really going big into his fan casts, but that’s what it looks like to me lol

R467 Sirius Black’s birthday is November 3rd. If it had been 11/11 Tumblr would go wild with this 😂

R465 We have to examine everything he posts now for any hidden emojis. lol He also commented with a tiny blue heart under Sophie Cookson's IG post today. Hopefully we'll find out why he's always using hearts when this project is eventually released.

R458 You had to look into that.. now I'm intrigued too! haha

R464 Exactly. R466 At this point, agreed. If there’s no new insight, then no need to drag it back up. I think the takeaway here is that what we know just scratches the surface, so based on that, it wouldn’t surprise me if he finds starts something new when the opportunity presents itself, or that he even actively seeks it out. But nothing specific has been raised in DL re: his UK/EU sexlife to substantiate that.

The Nerdist Instagram account which is at least partially run by Chloe commented “Time is a flat Circle” and Lizzy also commented but just “omg.” Lizzy follows the guy Damian Rice who originally sang the song Chloe posted which was a duet and with the red balloon themed music video. His single before that was called the unplayed piano. So far my only guess is that lizzy and Ben might be recreating this song/music video lol but that seems like a stretch

R471 Gotta admit, this is hilariously fun!

R466 no new insight you sayyyyyyy

miss pix posted bout him on her insta story today so you can ALL have fun with that

R473 no she didn’t

miss thing YES SHE DID i saw it with my own two buttery brown eyeballs but whateva you wanna believe go head now

R475 OK well give us some more info please! Posted what exactly about him?

R475 Oh, I get it. He’s shapeshifted into a dog. Either that or the two swaying plants represent his testicles. 🙄

lol maybe he didn’t realize she went public again and we can all verify his bullshit now

she OBVIOUSLY delete it it was about her ex across the pond (who could that be?????????) but really you hags were TOO LATE oh well for you all sure im not the only one who caught it you HAGS just don't want the smoke on you SOMEONE ELSE SPEAK UP

sad ya'll keep believin im lyin tho oh well

R479 Oh for the love of G-d just fuck the fuck off already

Why are you so obsessed with her? It’s super fucking weird

It's not him. Let it go. She took it down when I warned her y'all would think this.

He isn't in her life. Leave her alone. You can date more than one British dude. Maybe she has a type?

Yes I can confirm that possibility 🙋🏼‍♀️I’ve dated more than one and definitely have a type. I guess that’s why I find myself following along on a silly online scavenger hunt meant for teens while I wait patiently to get over BB. She’s probably already expunged him from her life lol then this happened

R483 absolutely and she cannot believe that this is actually happening.

im not OBSESSED you fraus just arent picking up on the TEA thats right in front of your faces

also ROSS thanks for confirming she DATED him now we konw what i said was true the wholeeee time just waiting for that LAP PICTURE to show up here bye now

R485 I like my tea like at least warm and not old and moldy. Holy crap, people date? Next thing you'll be saying that they danced! What the fuck are we, Amish?

WTF is your obsession with calling my name? Should *we* be dating? Coz I don't like you that way. <---- not sarcasm

omg they DATED! But did he give her a promise ring and court her for the appropriate amount of time while chaperoned before she (allegedly) SAT ON HIS LAP while clothed at a party?! Don’t you dare post that picture it will surely get taken down by the moderators. The horror! Come on guys don’t sexualize Ben by saying he DATED someone years ago when he was already a grown ass man

R487 right? I prefer to think of him as a virgin, just waiting for me to come and ravish him. BEN! BEN, WAIT FOR ME, I LOVE YOU SO MUCH! YOU'RE MY SOULMATE! NO ONE ELSE CAN LOVE YOU LIKE I DO, EVEN THOUGH I DON'T KNOW YOU AT ALL AND AM ONLY BASING THIS OFF OF TINY BITS OF FAKE-ASS BULLSHIT THAT YOU SHARE WITH THE WORLD EHILE YOU RUN AROUND WITH A GIRL IN EVERY PORT AND SPREAD DISEASE LIKE A SAILOR IN THE 1940S!!! WAIT FOR MEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

R488 I will say, he does seem like an STD waiting to happen. The odds will not forever be in his favor.

im just happy to see yall admit YOU saw it too. we know who that story was FOR hunty! gotta keep tabs on these ex hoes cuz you neva know when theyll drip drop you a breadcrumb for yalls RAVENOUS asses. maybe he saw all this naaaaaastyness on this thread and got nostalgic for some pussy from the past

R490 are you...not terribly smart? A hillbilly shut-in? I feel like you probably watched the honey booboo show.

R491 Seriously, grow the fuck up or just bugger off. This is psychotically infantile.

But...but...r490 started it! ^^^^ No fair.

R493 It obviously lost all its friends. It's beyond alone at this point. This den of people who hate it is its last refuge. There's no where for it, no other voices in its head to soothe its loneliness anymore.

Poor poor sad little monster..

R494 am I the monster or is r490? I just want to know if I'm offended...:P

R495 No smartass, you are definitely not the monster. ;)

Julianne hasn’t liked Ben’s post. What can we infer from that? Does the husband who’s about to purchase her after the free trial on the yacht keep her on a tight social media leash now? She used to like all his music related posts basically until Lizzy’s

R497 True. And he didn’t like today’s post from her about her 17th vacation of the year.

R497 Well the only thing she was shilling in today's post was how much ass she could expose while still technically wearing a bathing suit, but Ben didn't like her post either.

My favorite part is she has 4.9 million followers, and he has 1.8 million. And just in case any of you hate math, let me do the honors. He has about 37% of her followers (or, she has about 272% of his followers), but (using their posts from today) somehow she only gets about 30% of his likes, and she only gets about 18% of his comments. Wait you say! Shouldn't that be 36% of his comments? (I thought you hated math?) NO!! Because remember she artificially doubles her comment interaction by replying to every comment with a heart emoji. So in reality, without her manipulation, she only gets about 18% of his comments.

For those that still hate math, let me sum up. Her numbers are abysmally pathetic and it is mathematically impossible that the overwhelming majority of her "followers" AREN'T bots. Bits of computer code can't buy things. She ain't no influencer folks. Poor thing.

R499 This has been noted a few times over the last couple of threads. We’re all aligned on these points.

R500 Yes it's been mused about, but I don't recall anybody ever actually doing the math before. Did I miss it? They both posted today. I made a direct apples to apples comparison and brought the receipts to actually prove what we've been thinking. That's my thing. Sorry it's not yours.

Well the music video of the song Chloe posted on her story today as a potential clue is pretty depressing, so if Ben is just doing a cover of this soon he better not hype it up too much

R501 Actually, it is my thing, and I did do the math, though I used fractions and words. And said her low interaction rates proved she purchased her followers, whereas his demonstrated that (the vast majority of) his were not. Someone replied with a valid point about how dramatically his follower #s spiked and when, and surmised that he purchased some. In any event, I made my fairly straightforward and not very contentious case with far fewer sentences, and without caps or exclamation points so I guess it didn’t stand out to you. (Or maybe because it was such an uncontroversial observation, it just got lost in the shuffle of the last 1,200+ comments.) Next time I’ll do animated slides in Keynote ;-)

R498 Isn’t that just another old post from Europe? And what’s the ‘Taches’ location about?

R504 Yeah she’s just recycling vacation pics like the dried up, unrelatable travel influencer that she is. I have no idea why Taches is on there. I hope it’s not the name of some stupid business she’s about to attempt.

Does anyone have any info on why Emilia Clarke and BB used to follow each other and at least he used to like a lot of her posts and then they stopped/unfollowed? Did they graduate to each other’s private accounts or was there a falling out?

BTW, anyone else wondering about the weird "focusing" in his picture from yesterday? The watch is perfectly in focus, which then fades back and downward into blurry. Normal depth of field shot. Until it gets to his face, which is way behind the watch's focal length, yet is also perfectly in focus. It can't be a natural picture with those two focal lengths, so was obviously photoshopped. (to rather hilarious effect as it gives him a floating head that doesn't at all belong to the body in the picture)

But why bother? He could have just left focus on the watch instead of himself. That's what he was promoting. Or he could have kept, what I'm assuming was the original shot, the larger depth of field and had everything in focus. He "titled" the post What Time Is It and included a watch. He made a story that had a magnifying glass over the watch so everyone knew to 'look there, a clue'!!!! He previously dropped the 11:11 clue. We know.

So. . . he couldn't bear to have his face not be in focus, cause he knows what his money maker is. But he also considers his followers so stupid that they need three separate neon sign clues to go to the watch. Or in other words, 'Ben's a narcissistic subtlety expert who is well aware of the overall lack of intelligence of his childlike fans but he has to do this stupid promotion they expect so they'll leave him the fuck alone for a while.'

Haha there’s were a lot of similar reactions from fans on Twitter 😂 Ben can’t just pull a Taylor Swift and expect his fans to be swiftie level sleuths (except for the DL maybe) that had to be fostered over years of trickery. He definitely had to make it a little more obvious but I think he made it a little too obvious what we were supposed to look at 🙄 But we still haven’t figured it out yet so we are all too stupid for this I guess lol

And some of them are taking the esoteric turn into numerology the DL briefly dabbled in 😂 but it’s bold to assume Ben has even fully thought this through including the incorrect conclusions people can draw, that ultimately lead to disappointment unless the expectations are managed more than once per week. He really should hire professionals for this

Logan era Ben needs to come back. This teenybopper swiftie era is getting old

R509 Haha I missed that one. Benny B! Talking about jerking off! Ooh mother.

R506 Well spotted! At first I thought he might’ve used some kind of focus/vignetting tool but that wouldn’t work.

Stephen Moyer just commented “showtime” on it I didn’t even know they knew each other. The song 9 Crimes the Chloe posted yesterday was in a True Blood episode also called 9 Crimes. Is this fucking True Blood related and Ben is about to be a piano playing vampire??? Wtf

R512 How would it be related to True Blood when the show ended in 2014?

R513 A True Blood reboot has been in the works for a while

Confirmed by HBO earlier this year but was still in early development

R494 What fresh hell did I stumble into this morning? Deleted insta stories mentioning Ben? Internal warfare on the DL? That poor girl's insta is probably crawling with creeps from here. People should be allowed to post about their ex boyfriends in peace, even if that boyfriend is Ben Barnes.

R507 I find these clues he's posting insulting and disingenuous. Sure, he has young fans now, but he also has fans that are his age that he obviously no longer cares to appeal to. These games are for children. Shadow & Bone Ben is inferior to Logan/Billy Ben. I miss when he was less famous and could be less ~ celebrity. This bating is so performative and vacuous. Just tell us what it is or stop posting about it.

Whomever mentioned the fact that he didn't blur out his face, that resonated with me. Ben is a good actor- albiet a bit too teary eyed sometimes- but his face is what sells him. Wasn't he basically hired to be Caspian on his looks alone, having very little acting experience at the time? Must be nice to be that handsome.

R516 That’s why beautiful people rule the world. It was a line in The Punisher too

And cryptic statements about time stopping make sense for immortal vampires 🧐 but all the other clues make it seem music related so not sure. Stephen’s comment is random and interesting

There are fairies in True Blood too lmao WHAT IF all that bullshit was actually related to this. I hate it here

R516 Absolutely true. And I also think that's why so much hate gets directed towards Ben's ex girlfriends. I saw people saying in past threads that Rayana could land a plane on her forehead. Meanwhile she is obviously very pretty or Ben wouldn't have been with her. Pretty people rule the world and the rest of us watch in awe and envy.

R518 If Benjamin becomes a vampire I might have to re-up my stan card. He would make a great vampire. Those eyes.

Well the types of Vampires in True Blood can’t go in the sun so if this is true he better hope Julianne and her sun stay the fuck away. And yes R520 I was hoping a silly little music video would help me get over BB. If this is vampire Ben related this is problematic. TBD

R512 That quote from the nerdist “Time is a flat circle” is also a quote from True Detective. Maybe those BB appreciation posts from HBO were because HBO got Ben for something again

Back to R516 for a sec....Do we think Ben is aware of how attractive he is? Does he see himself the way the world sees him? He seems dorky and humble but I wonder if it's possible to be a professional actor who gets hired based on his looks and is actually unaware of how handsome he is.

R523 He answers that question in this interview that was posted here recently I think. Who knows if it’s true though

R524 Thanks for posting that. As you say, who knows if that's true. Brave of the interviewer to ask that question but of course he would lead with a humble response.

R523 Leo’s are a mixture of incredibly vain and incredibly insecure. And he’s an actor who’s being constantly told by thousands of fans (and interviewers) that he’s a beautiful man.

So, he will have many ‘catches sight of himself in a mirror’ moments and will think “Looking goooood, Barnes”. But conversely, you will also find him peering into that same mirror and thinking “Fuck, I look like shit”. Just not as much as the rest of us do.

Para 3 of linked article…. he’s probably not joking about that!

5526 He probably isn't. But it made me rme when he said "men are afraid to have fun." On what planet?

R527 Maybe he means men are afraid to look silly whilst having fun? That was what I always liked about him *before* montanagate.

R5/7 Straight men are afraid to have fun post #metoo. Rules of engagement changed, mostly for the better for obv reasons, but also in some ways for the worse. And of course he knows he’s attractive, after innumerable fucktoys. He picks them up like cigarettes at the bodega. His insecurity lies in being seen, valued as *more* than a pretty face. His career downturn humbled him, but also likely made him seek validation through the revolving door of disposable, interchangeable playthings. It’s also why he constantly reminds us that he went to university (and not an overly impressive one, mind youz, like Hiddleston or Cooper, who never remind you).

R507 HA!!! When your shenanigans have lost you even the fangirls, you are in trouble Barnes!!

R512 Yes, he and Moyer have known each other for years now, and very likely met through Rob. But I'm not reading too much into this personally. Remember Ben "titled" the post What Time Is It. Then Moyer answers Showtime. But that's just the Occam's Razor guess, not a guarantee of course. (But Stephen's character died. Why is he talking about a reboot??)

R516 *standing ovation* A-fucking-men brother. With one little exception. . . does he still have fans his age left? Really? Do you really believe there are that many to warrant catering to that old crowd anymore?!? He can't manipulate us with his bullshit after all, so why even bother trying to continue. It's likely all Shadow and Bone Me Daddy (still laughing at that one) from here on out. Those little girls are easy.

R520 R521 Ben narrowly escaped having to play a vampire in Twilight. Please for the love of God do NOT even put this out into the universe!!

R528 R529 Bingo. Everybody knows that real men are gruff and tough and manly, not silly, At. All. Times. (except when they're drunk as no rules apply anymore) Because when you act like someone that people might actually want to know and be around, it means you're gay. This is known.

Did I forget anyone? ;)

::Pats self on back for shadow & bone me daddy::

Maybe he's gonna be in the Anne Rice thing. Is that even still happening? Though I don't think he's young enough to do vampire stuff. His age is showing too much. And his hairline is receding. And that pancake ass!

Man, when you see through the charm to the person underneath, he's not as dreamy at all.

R530 Well, I wouldn’t say that, exactly. But clearly the sensitive boy act with him is an act. He likes to position himself as having depth of character, but no. He’s just frat boy who ensures the sex is consensual.

Someone just asked if he was going to be the next Doctor and if he is I will lose my fucking mind. Not in a good way. He cannot taint my nerd love for the Doctor. Noooooo. Un- manifest! Un-manifest!

Ya’ll; someone on IG mentioned JH was in London! She posted a comment abt it.

I think this is the final confirmation. I held some hope and doubt that they weren’t together, but you can’t deny it now. She’s there with him and his family for his milestone birthday. They are totally together and it must be serious!

R534 I didn’t see a comment about London, unless it was already deleted

R534 Can you elaborate on what the comment said? Did JH say she was in London in a comment or did someone else? If it was someone else it could be anyone trying to troll the DL knowing we would find it and have a meltdown lol

R537. It was THE SLEUTH, I think. JH commented on someone else’s post. Not sure if I can/should say the name after all the pixi commotion. But it was all public, so just not sure and don’t want to be attacked.

Anyway, the comment said something like “it was a beautiful day”. The post was of a yoga instructor who held a mass class of some sort in London.

She posted a story that said it's time...

R539 not trying to be rude, but she looks old in the pic. Like much older than she is.

LMAO not her and her problematic reputation swooping in to ruin Benny B’s big swiftie moment. She’s so good for his career. And I think that caption was trolling the recent commentary about her kardashian ass

R540 Be rude about that Ho! That’s the DL pastime

Her “time” comment has to be a secret reference to Ben’s!! But just not so secret. I mean, all this “time” talk…

If he’s doing all this for a relationship announcement he really doesn’t know his audience. But the fan girls on Twitter have been on this for a few hours already. I think because of the 11:11 twin flame 🔥 thing but not 100% sure

ENGAGEMENT?!?!?! WTF? I mean, she IS there with his family for his 40th. Could be…

Oh fuck. He liked this new post of hers. If they’re together, I am done.

Let's watch. Kinda do wish I had followers, for the dude that likes to make fun of me for that. Just for this.

Okay, hold up, why do we think she's in London? Can someone please confirm this? R538 can you please explain? What do you mean?

Damn I loathe being at work right now.. I need to sleuth!! lol

R546 Should we read into the fact that he either doesn't have notifications on for her anymore (or is purposefully ignoring hers only for now) because he only *just* liked it, nearly an hour after she posted. . . ?

I'm a little confused by the timeline. I just had a look at the sleuth's Instagram post and Julianne left a comment under maudehirst's post indicating she had participated in an event that took place on Saturday July 31 in London called Wanderlust. The problem I have is that Ben was still in Los Angeles at the time working on his 'project' until at least August 1. JH's mother also posted a couple videos of JH making food for them at her (JH's) Los Angeles home on August 1 on her IG account. So I had a closer looked at the wanderlustgb Instagram account and it says that you could buy digital tickets to the event. Are we SURE that that comment indicates that JH was/is in London? Has there been any actual proof of her there besides that one comment?

😂 another one

Well, we jinxed it by saying things have been too quiet. Even the multiple personalities guy is speechless. I can just imagine how we're all going to lose our shit if they actually announce an engagement 🤣 I will riot! Anyone have the Ho's address on here? Time to take out the frustration by dumping out some of her wine on her lawn or something.

i ain't quiet i just dont give a fuq about this bitch shes BORING milquetoast mayonaise n theres not anymore PROOF of this "relationship" anymore than any of the other heuxs sooooo NOTHING to even say but yall should keep wiating for this engagement annnouncement or whatever yall have settled on TODAY

Aaahhhhhh

Well fuck. So much for the vampire idea LOL 🤡

R554 Yeah I was just looking at that. Wow!!! And the caption on her post….

I’m not 100% convinced she’s in London though, as R550 said, that event was 31 July and you could buy virtual tickets to it. So yeah, not sure.

My theory is that this is all one big romantic proposal video/song project for JH. 🤮

R557 Although apparently he liked a comment on his Tweet of his ‘timely clue’ pic which said they thought it was his album.

What a trashy little Ho to post a “bottom up” pic of her artificial ass and then a following post that says “if you like what’s behind me 🍑 you should see what’s ahead” like the audacity of doing that in the same week as potentially meeting Tricia and Thomas?!

I also would not be surprised if she just already had a necklace like that because she’s an uneducated esoteric dingbat and just wore that and said that simple it’s time phrase in a pic to troll people. But if she did that at the expense of Ben by derailing his whole treasure hunt (which Chloe was also involved in yesterday) then she is the cuntiest of cunts

R557 Maybe it is best to think the worst case scenario so if it's not that, we will all be relieved lol

R558 He liked these 3 fan comments, out of 2000+, under his IG post yesterday that seems to indicate the picture/time is related to his music

R560 He seriously liked that third one? Like, duhhhh no shit Sherlock!!!!

Well at least Mal got some vampire spotlight today 😂

R540 If anyone doesn't know what sun damage is, read it and laugh at her. Those are some ridiculously deep set wrinkles in that leather she calls skin. At least for a creature that claims to only be 33. Sorry hun, it's only black that don't crack for a reason. Maybe you should have tried your blackface as sunscreen!

R550 And this is why I wanted to sleuth. Most large gatherings are (also) virtual still because of Covid. This one in particular was apparently last weekend when both of them were documented by others to be in LA. For me personally, the possibility that she's in London with him just dropped *dramatically*.

R541 R554 R559 Herein lies my favorite part, and I just want to get my specific thoughts off my chest.. Some here just wondered if The Ho did today's story just to troll us. Someone, either further upthread or in the previous one, wondered if she added the fairy emoji to her cartwheeling post (which Ben liked) AFTER the fact to mimic the emojis Ben hid in his sun sticker. This person didn't remember it being there originally and said it wasn't on the Facebook version of her post, only the heart was. And today, she posts a story mimicking not only the time Ben's been using multiple times, but also (indirectly) the same caption about making time stand still from his post from yesterday.

This feels like basically only two potential options to me (and others as well). One, she's purposefully trolling. But not trolling us. If the above paragraph is all true, she's very much trolling Ben. Squeezing every last bit of juice out of the rotten lemon that is/was their relationship. If this is true, could it be with anything other than malicious intent? Knowing how much Ben's fans hate her, but forcing all of us to continue linking them secretly together?? She's trying to sabotage him. Or two, she is linked because Ben actually did ask her to participate in his project. (stop vomiting and realize what previously happened) The oldies here will remember some of Ben's uberfan IG accounts (yeah, you know the ones). The ones that posted every day with pictures about how they stan their KING!! The ones that always wound up at the top of his comments because of all their interaction with one another. The ones that all absolutely HATE Floriana. Wait a second. . . come to think of it, I don't remember (though don't check every day) hearing a peep from any of them, either in tagged pics or in supremacy comments, since his video with Flo. In fact his whole tagged page has slowed down dramatically since Flo. Because his fangirls hate her? Did they all leave him permanently? Cause as someone on the other thread pointed out, below is the exact and only reaction he's likely to get if he purposefully includes The Ho in this rapidly spiraling project too. It would almost be like he's purposefully trying to alienate ALL his most ardent fangirls. Maybe he really is sick and tired of all of them after all. Shall we wait and see if they get sick and tired of him too? Preferably long before his project ever arrives. Maybe he'll title it Ben Barnes, Undone By Arrogance and Stupidity. As "Shakespeare" would say, "good title.."

R563 Love your theory that she’s trolling him!

I’ll tell you what I could see happening. I’m convinced she grovelled to him after her niece posted that Tiktok. Then we see the Friends post from Ben. All ‘friends’ again.

She’s just back off her yacht girl/husband shop round Europe. Either sending each other secret emoji messages (“it’ll be such fun, Benji!) or trolling him. Calls him up when she gets back, “Ohhh Benjeeeeee let me help ya out with this!”

And he’s such a dumbfuck he says OK. Can’t say No. Even though he *knows* that’s going to go down like a lead red balloon.

The only platonic reason I can think of for why Julianne might be promoting his project with the necklace is because her production company might be bankrolling it. It wouldn’t necessarily be a completely stupid financial decision to back a project with Ben, Floriana, Georgia, and Chloe they all have their own built in niche followings in fantasy, marvel, CW, gaming etc realms, but Ben seems to be the only musical one and both her budding productions company and these people might have been looking for a group willing to take a risk on working together in something they are less experienced at (i.e. producing, directing, maybe writing?) in addition to acting. But considering all the other history between Ben and Julianne I’m not sure it would be platonic even if they were working together. But could also explain the potential involved of D-Ho and Darren

Does anyone still believe it's only Kevin Bacon that knows six degrees of separation?

This is hurting my brain.

R566 they are in a TV show together

R566 R567 Looks like that’s from last year? Either that or she’s wearing the same dress and necklace. Why’d she post the pic from R566 and make it sound like it’s from today? BB liked the original post too. Awwww.

R567 Yes I know, it said as much in her caption. But we were recently talking about Darren and how he suddenly, seemingly randomly???, starting following Ben after The Ho got home. But apparently Georgia and Darren know each other. So there's now another possibility on how Darren found his way to following Ben other than seeing (only???) Lizzie's song cover post, or through The Ho. So it's now at least possible Georgia recruited him to work with them. That's my point.

R569 It’s a small B-list, I guess 🤷‍♀️

R569 oh ok got it. I knew Georgia was in that show royalties (Darren wrote and stars in it) but I just didn’t think it had anything to do with BB so I never brought it up, especially since Darren was fucking about in Europe while Georgia and Ben were working together so I thought whatever Georgia was doing was independent of Darren’s show. Maybe Darren got back and learned he was working with Georgia and decided to follow him after that. I still think Lizzy has a bigger part in all this than just doing an Instagram cover with Ben. Lizzy is the only one out of all of them who follows Damien Rice, the original singer of the 9 crimes song Chloe posted on her stories yesterday, which is a piano duet that sounds very much like something Ben and Lizzy would cover. And I just assume Chloe posted that as a hint related to Ben’s project because we know she was part of it in some way, but I could be wrong. But if JH is at all related then I don’t know wtf to think. She didn’t like his song with lizzy

Another Logan era nugget came up 😂 imagine Ben casually talking about his balls and jerking off under some Netflix Darklina Stan tweets lol the new fandom would have a meltdown. He definitely needs a little Logan back in his life

And the dignity of the horse. Back when we thought he was a goofy, decent human. Alas.

R573 That link didn’t work. But I think I remember him saying that in the Footnotes podcast lol BTW I heard that episode when it first came out because I listened to that podcast pretty regularly back then and I only vaguely remembered who he was at the time but based on that episode I thought he was for sure gay. Then more recently when I rediscovered him and went down this rabbit hole I’m not that surprised I’m wrong but also not surprised there are so many threads discussing it. Maybe he was just really excited that day or something 😂

Yeah it was from my dad wrote a porno. Sorry about the link.

How fun. Mass indoor gatherings next month. Even though the page itself basically warns that covid is still raging right now.. but we're so close!!!!!!

People are stupid.

R576 Well, I guess that kills the theory that he’ll be in London until filming begins in Budapest. Unless they’re kicking stuff off in Canada, where he did post-production.

R577 I don’t have any specific info on S&B, but some other international productions with the company I work for have had to at least partially shift to Canada due to local restrictions and the backlog of permitting, visas etc in certain countries, so I’ve been wondering if they will actually be in Budapest the whole time again. Since they use a real landmark for the little palace that would be difficult to recreate on set, but they could probably make the outdoor terrain work between Hungary and somewhere in Canada if they had to plus the other sets

I think Calahan said they would be filming in Budapest by November, but since that article with the producer said it was “dangerously close” to starting filming on season 2 (which isn’t how I would describe November) maybe they are starting in Canada soon

R579 Keep in mind how propaganda and building hype works.. Just simply saying "it's gonna be real soon folks!!!" doesn't actually mean a thing in reality. Specifics do. Time is relative (and not a fucking flat circle, good fucking god..) and "close" can literally mean anything.

R580 Yeah - how long ago did BB say his album was coming ‘soon’?? And here we are, sat here waiting with emojis and tacky lockets.

I can’t remember if this was already posted here so I’m sorry if it was, but it made me LOL especially considering the latest locket/time bullshit. It’s over a week old but maybe even more relevant now

JH on set somewhere

R582 Yeah it was posted before but worth a repost!

R583 I saw that. ‘On set’? And what’s with that yellow get-up? She looks like a cruise ship entertainment host or something.

R584 Looks like a Hertz commercial 😂

So he’s attending the Reminiscince premier in London and definitely in London

R586 And I’m guessing it was too last minute to have a stylist help dress him because it’s not his best premier look lol

And JH tagged in LA not London

R587 So the premiere invite explains all the recent spam liking of Lisa’s posts lmao.

R589 I think he’s angling for a role in her new TV show with Amazon or one of the other projects in the works

R587 Oh it’s All Saints (on his story). I guess he’s gone for a more laid-back look as he’s not on the high-profile invitees.

R590 oh yes he could be… networking’s the name of the game!

I’m all for the networking but he seems to be dabbling in the ill fitting pants with boots trend and he’s insane for that. I hope his Burberry and Armani contacts get in touch for the next one of his

He’s posted a second story saying he’s so proud of Lisa Joy, keep it up Benji - that next part’s nearly in the pipeline.

Looks like he’s embracing his 40s and all the adult networking and outfits that come with it

Operation chill out the fan girls is working 😂

XXII
