R6 I assumed as much, as he's actually been at 251 for a while now, couple days maybe, with no new account followed so it wasn't worth mentioning. But he had that random Earthpix follow before, which he then unfollowed, so he's already seen he's currently at 251. He deleted the Earthpix, but didn't continue deleting. Maybe he's comfortable leaving it at 251?!?!? Quelle horreur!!!

OK, so I had a random memory spark earlier, don't mind me.. But since it's been "Sunday Funday," and I feel like having some "fun", I thought I'd revisit a moment I had originally speculated on, though perhaps incorrectly, from May. Play along if you like! (in two parts, cause DL..)

Ben's final cover for a while (other than the annual X-mas song, which was a non traditional for him choice of Last Christmas.. hmmmmmm..) was October last year when he did "Jealous." (And EVERYBODY knows who/what that was about!!!) The next we got from him was days after Montanagate broke with "Where Is the Love" (the boy does LOVE his distractions when he fucks up!!!!!). Then again *nothing*. When questioned by fans earlier this year why he had pretty much stopped, he said it was because he was working on and going to release his own album. Makes sense. His first new cover after Montanagate (even though he wasn't doing them anymore because of his album) was June 1st when he did "I'll be there for you" AND hashtagged it with 'Not Going Anywhere' which isn't part of the song. We speculated here at the time whether that was a pathetically loyal-puppy-dog love note to The Ho. A month later, she went husband shopping all over Europe.

But now I've remembered. A few days earlier, we got this tweet below. At the time, I speculated that maybe Ben had gotten his final 'No' from music labels and was sad he wouldn't be able to put out his music. Now we know it did find a home and he did put the album out. Was my speculation wrong back then, or did he find its home *after* this tweet? I obviously don't know, but there is now one more possibility in my mind to consider with. . . when, if ever, did The Ho tell Ben she was going husband shopping? Cause the timing here is just sooooooo *perfect*. (con't)

by Anonymousreply 9September 20, 2021 3:10 AM

R9 So, according to his song, back whenever, Ben lets his True Love go to be fearlessly whole with best wishes but thinks "if you want to come back eventually I'll have you." (The Ho tells everyone it's about her cause she's just that classy.) Now.. we have all their observed tumultuous rollercoaster of a perceived actual relationship last and this year, even including at one point earlier this year Ben liking every super sexy thirst trap post she made (but not the ones from Europe??). So what if, on May 26th, she decided to tell Benny something along the lines of 'yeah you're fine, but I actually want much more, so I'm gonna go play the field in Europe for a month and try my luck there. But if it doesn't work out, I'll be sure to come back to you again'. We get Benny's heartbroken tweet. Days later we *finally* get the first new cover of "I'll Be There For You" and NotGoingAnywhere. A couple weeks later (mid-Juneish) he turns his private account back on, and then we get the cover of "I Can't Help Falling In Love with You". A couple weeks later again (end of June) he removes all the content on the private account and changes his name to Harry Burns, and The Ho leaves for Europe within days. Then we get the cover of "You Finally Put My Love On Top" a little after MiniMojiGate starts. But unfortunately she continues husband shopping as she keeps him attached to her hip from a continent away and we get the cover of "I Can't Make You Love Me If You Don't." Phew!!

Though, why did he reactivate the account just to eventually wipe it just before she left? Makes no logical sense.. I know *she* started the public MiniMojis, but was it supposed to be private messages in his mind? The CDAN blind, that HAD to be written by someone who knew them personally since it was before Montana broke publicly, said she was using him to make her husband jealous. Did she as his truest of loves insist on a public MiniMojiGate, but actually wanted to use it to make her potential European suitors jealous? "Just look at this guy I've got on a leash back home, but if you'd like to prove how much better you are. . . ." And just why did Ben follow D-Ho the night she got back from her loonnngggggg shopping trip? And why did he delete/deactivate the old private account again a little while ago, why reactivate it, why leave it up empty, at all? He wrote his big debut song presumably last year but is now saying DO NOT speculate on who it's about.. Apparently he forgot to tell The Ho that..

Is it all just *painfully* coincidental perfect timing but not true? Is it ALL the two trolling us as payback for outing them? Make it make sense. Because if it is trolling, Ben did not make himself into the winner. Cause all the information we were (potentially) trollingly given makes Ben look like the most utterly pathetic NDE loser still clinging to empty hopes you've ever heard of. So did I nerd out on the time line too much? Wait, was I not supposed to speculate, cause The Ho just told me that I should.. Regardless of how I feel about him these days, he should want better for himself than the way she publicly comes across as treating him. Oh how I wish he would finally grow up and grow out of her shitspiral. Come on Ben..

by Anonymousreply 10September 20, 2021 3:10 AM

Honestly, the timeline seems spot on, r10. The part that seems to be missing is bb's free will. Why does everyone act like she has some magic pussy or something? He chooses to make a public fool of himself for her. He chose to chase a married woman. Did she cry on his shoulder and tell him that she should have gone for him instead of a big ole lunkhead like Brooksy? Maybe. Is he a grown man who has fucked his way around the world a few times and was raised by two psychiatrists (one psychiatrist and a therapist?) and should be able to work through it logically and see that she is playing him? HELL THE FUCK YES!!! Hell, for all we know, the Europe trip was an ultimatum to him: we go public or I go act like you! (I mean act like a total fucking slut.) Maybe he didn't think she'd go through with it. Maybe when she did he fell apart. We have NO DETAILS! But I think with the details we *do* have, he's proven he's a trash human all on his own, well before the age of JHo. Don't blame his shortcomings on her. His personality was developed well before he met her.

Add: let us also notice, that if they are a couple, and have been for a longer period of time, he declared in front of tens of thousands of viewers that he had not yet met the woman he wants to marry. If my boyfriend did that, he‘d be my boyfriend no more. Privacy or no.

by Anonymousreply 14September 20, 2021 9:03 AM

To continue yesterday‘s philosophical discourse, why us 30-40 year old academics had it with Ben, is that he‘s not really famous, certainly not flawless (body and other things), if we met him in a social setting, we would not think he was very different from us, he would certainly not see us as inferior if he met us not as his datalounge stalkers but as a friend of his brother‘s or something, and that‘s our trap. That it is not impossible at all. That it‘s rather a matter of circumstances, not infeasibility. I dated guys just as famous, if not more, in their field as he is. And also some rather powerful guys with high social standing. But being a high functioning weirdo, I get obsessed and secretly live in shame for being this attractive high achiever to the world, and this terrible obsessive and now vengeful teenager in my heart, who anonymously tears the flesh out of that harmless but somewhat venal dude that I don‘t know.

Hey guys! Long time lurker, first time poster.

I’ve been wondering about what type of hold Julianne has over some men (Ben, Brooks, Chuck).

I found this blind item dating back to 04/24/2020 related to Julianne and Brooks.

There are two excerpts that stuck out to me: “ She really messed with his head. She told him a few days after they met that they were soul mates and that they would be happy and spend their whole lives together. She was all over him. Then she would pull away and say she wasn’t sure and he would be really confused and go chasing after her.”

“ She makes every decision and convinces him to go along. I don’t even know how she does it. She has this weird power over him where he says and does really stupid things just to hold onto her. He’s being totally manipulated, but he doesn’t even see it. She is calling all the shots, including where they live and what they say about their marriage.”

It sounds like she really messed with Brooks. She probably does this with every relationship.

I was wondering what you guys thought of this.

If someone else has posted this link then I apologize.

R21 I still don't get "how". Ben comes from what seems an apparently ok, loving family, while these manipulative people tend to latch onto some deep, unhealed wound that often comes from childhood... I don't know, she looks so stupid and a complete airhead, I cannot see her as a masterful manipulator! You need some kind of smarts for that. Also, the narrative of the wicked witch vs the hapless man is so overdone...

Or maybe BB is really that easy to manipulate, despite being you know an adult, middle-aged man - in the end we know nothing true about himself from himself. Anyway, this whole brouhaha remains baffling. And incredibly entertaining.

[R24] The person doesn’t necessarily have to have childhood trauma. I know a few people in my life who have ended up in relationship like this who have had seemingly happy childhoods. Although we can never truely know if there is childhood trauma looking from the outside. We can never truely know if Ben really had a happy childhood. He has mentioned briefly in some interviews that he was bullied at school.

[R25] I think that is true as well. Brooks seemed like a conflict avoider. He wanted to go along with her to keep her happy, but look how that worked out. Is that how it is with Ben? We can never really know. We can only speculate. I thought that blind item was interesting that is why I posted it. It reveals a pattern. I wonder how long she will string him along.

R11 I don't disagree at all, I was actually kinda showing that in a different, more subtle way. Am I right in what I said? Cause *that's* the woman he chose. If you thought he's smart, he isn't. If you thought he's good so he'd choose a good person? She's not, so he's not. See what I mean? Their ENTIRE situation makes them look like utter garbage humans in the world's biggest dumpster fire.

Though I do wonder about one thing. Was this mysticism adjacent, inspirational quote necklace wearing, wishful thinking man-child full of desperately needed perpetual sunshine who he always was? Were these personality traits just latent in there? Cause I never got one whiff of those before he hooked up with The Ho. The massive ego? In hindsight, yeah ok, I can see it now. The fuckboy attributes? Well yeah, he always exuded that to me. But as long as everything is consensual, then he's not hurting anyone else and that's his choice to do. But the other traits??? Were they always there underneath and he was waiting to feel safe enough to express them? Or were they lovebombed into existence more recently. Cause I can't fucking *stand* those attributes, but if he can finally wise up and grow up, maybe there's hope for the future? He did say "does 11:11 have mystical significance? Maybe not.." with his song release. Maybe there's hope he can do better.. maybe..

Case in point.. since his liking of this tweet last night was obviously meant for me (lol!), is he just trolling everyone's criticisms, or is it starting to sink in and he's acknowledging it.

I’ve been reading about breadcrumbing recently. Healthline defines this behavior as:

“ Someone who breadcrumbs leads you on by dropping small morsels of interest — an occasional message, phone call, date plan, or social media interaction. These happen sporadically and usually don’t have any followthrough.”

Two of the signs that we have seen are: “ communicate primarily with photos, memes, or emoji” and “show interest in hooking up but not spending non-physical time together”.

I wonder if that is what all of those silly emojis are about. Breadcrumbing maybe? If so, then she doesn’t have any intention of really being with him. She simply engages with that behavior because Ben is simply the fallback man to make her feel good before she gets a boyfriend who has more money or more fame. She seems like the kind of woman who likes fame and attention and will go for a guy with a higher profile.

As for Ben…we’ll I am kind of embarrassed for him. He wrote a song pinning for a woman he will never have.

He sure can. He won‘t even have to chat them up. They just offer themselves. Do you really think he never dated anybody from Raya?

If none of this stuff happened this year with Bulianne and BB was releasing his music who would he have to project all the woeful love of his life narrative? noone cause his personal life has been absolutely nothing and that doesn't work with Hollywood. who is going to relate or buy into that from the media as it would focus all on him and he would squirm even more in interviews trying to dodge love life questions he's always avoided.

R66 Yes, I really feel she started all that crap and it fits in with R47 and the breadcrumbing thing. Btw I thought that *was* Ben in the photo!!

Like, maybe he was ghosting her when she took off to Europe as he knew only too well why she was heading there. Also everyone assumed to start with that Ben was with her in Paris, but some did say it could be someone else. What if she’d set up a long weekend with a European guy before she went and they spent time in Paris together? We all agreed the posts were in no way like her usual shit. And Ben knew that and just ghosted her. So out comes heart/lion emoji pic with a little DM in advance.. “A liccle special message just for youuuuu, Benji!” Yeah, that’s breadcrumbing alright. And guess who fell for it??!!

I watched an interview with DH and he was talking about how his first kiss with his girlfriend was onstage and JH and everyone were yelling from the sidelines for them to kiss. The creepy part about it was he was laughing because his girlfriend was only 19 at the time and he was in his early 30’s. Like so gross! He is such a hollywood, weirdo. That whole family is weird.

R85 For me too… though not for the age gap necessarily. I’ve been in various relationships with big age gaps. It’s more that when a guy in his 30’s upwards goes out with teens/early twenties girls, it’s usually for the control angle. And that they think they’re way smarter than the girl.

But it’s not a one-way street. It works the other way too with older women/younger men.

Was that the case with Ben and Rayana? Possibly. She seemed to be more invested than him and I got the feeling he dropped or ghosted her out of the blue (sad IG stories from Rayana) and she was surprised by it. I guess you might be when your friends were posting pix of him enjoying brunches with you and them then booom! But let’s not forget she was also flitting about between him and her ex so maybe she wasn’t truly that upset.

And he still followed her on his private account (and liked a post of hers from this year or end of last, can’t remember which one) right up until he deactivated it. Surprised he didn’t follow Pixie too as his M.O. as we’ve discussed before seems to be “I’m a good ex, I still follow and like your posts”. Although maybe he did and no-one spotted it before he killed the account.

Ah well, I also hope for someone to give us more of a reveal, just to know who was right.

As for John Mulaney, he has been a very well known guys for years, we on the contrary with our hyperfocus on Ben, vastly overestimate his fame. None of my friends even knew his name. Darklinas and Billinas are actually doing the opposite of the Mulaney situ, they are openly stanning the characters and it‘s a community thing too.

And yes I think many people have found themselves online and on parts of the internet and relying on it for community and inspiration in ways they never would have expected pre-pandemic. I think Ben sees a lot more of the online content about him than we would expect especially with all the free time we have all had. Sometimes I think Ben is playing up his nice geeky side to compensate for the characters he plays especially for a young audience. Maybe he feels some guilt when he sees young girls romanticize the violent, manipulative characters he plays, but that would be a bit condescending of him because I think most are smart enough to separate fantasy from reality and still be able to recognize red flags in real life so he doesn’t need to act like the big brother/uncle to all his fans (obviously his fans have ruined the word daddy for him lol).

Superyachts and ultra luxury hotels are surely wonderful, but they are the furthest from a socially conscious lifestyle there is, as were all her covid trips. She has sucked up the selfcare/holostic stuff to the hilt and truly believes that‘s a solution. I love meditation and positive thinking too, I‘d love to swim in Amalfi right now and dance on a party in Cannes and drink wine with my friends. But you have to be aware, gal, that this is not solving anything whatsoever and that you simply have to shut up about stuff you know nothing about and not force feed everybody what a good person you are, when you are clearly just comfy and not very much concerned with the state of the world.

R148 it was probably that super nice producer lady who was on board with her. The one who got fired for creating a horrible work environment. It‘s really a difficult situation for celebrities these days with social media. People start having expectations of you, like Ben, he has now stirred up his fans with Twitter interactions, only to drop out again after a few days, because it becomes exhausting and the buzz wears of. All he can do now is disappoint them because he doesn‘t react any longer. That‘s why you pay social media strategists. You have to realise that whatever you do on social media, will only have an affect on yourself, because your followers can just tune out, change their minds, change allegiance. But nothing you did will ever be forgotten. And it can by default only come back to haunt you and never your audience. And a collective opinion can‘t be unmade really once it‘s gone down the drain.

Like Ben, who can‘t accept he will only ever be the pretty fantasy guy, until he is grey enough to be something else. Most reports about his song were basically, yeah he has a nice voice but look how pretty he is. His blabla about fulfilling his dreams didn‘t help making it look like a vanity project. He could have used the interviews to speak about his long experience with making music and singing (killing Bono, Easy Virtue), musical theatre and piano playing, instead of harping on about how this was his dream. It makes him look like those millionaires who climb Everest with plenty of oxygen and twenty sherpas.

by Anonymousreply 151September 21, 2021 11:21 AM

Yeah if it were really about the music and achieving a dream he should have just released it via a few posts on his own social media without all the cringey promotion. And was merch really necessary? It’s not like he needs the money, although who can blame him for wanting to make some doing something he loves I guess. It’s fine he’s prioritizing a pet project like this, but even in that article he differentiated it from his actual career. The only non-annoying reason I can imagine for doing all the promo is that he wants it to open up more theater or filmed musical performances. But if that’s the case he could have plugged that interest more. He has had no problem shamelessly plugging his James Bond interest in the past but I hope these two interests never intersect.

R158 I’ve seen some tweets about how expensive international shipping is. He should have picked a more international distributor if that’s the case.

I haven’t bought a CD since the early 2000s. I didn’t even know they were still made. I wouldn’t even have the means to play one now so it would be pointless.

What if every single song is about a different relationship and he’s trying to be like the male version of Taylor with his little Easter egg hint launches but then thought CDs and Julianne Hough were a good idea. I’ve never been so second hand embarrassed for someone in my life.

R166 definitely not the arbiter of taste, but certainly hopefully never letting him live this down in the pub. He probably unfollowed her once Ben told him he wrote a song about her

R176 Not the OP but the only thing I can think of outside of them being an item at some point is, if they are just platonic friends, she could've shared the whole 11:11 thing with him at some point/the meaning/numerology etc. For argument's sake, just coz he incorporated it into his song doesn't mean it has to be about her. He could've just found the concept interesting when she told him about it.

R176 that was clearly about the argument why the family does not intervene, which nobody knows if they do, what they say, what they don‘t say, or what their opinion is. It was only said that at this specific moment nothing points to them being in a full on relationship. Not about their past, not about anybody‘s feelings for one another or weird song titles and smileys. Just about this idea we would ever know or be aware of family Barnes‘ internal communication.

The argument that they spent both their birthdays apart and have not been in the same country for three months has come up a lot on Twitter too and that seems like a bit of a juvenile argument to me. Even before the pandemic I’ve spent well over 3 months and special occasions away from a partner sometimes due to work or family commitments and have seen friends do it too and that isn’t that unusual to me in terms of saying whether they are for sure in a relationship. And yes of course we can never know for sure either way, and the song is clearly about a girl that isn’t ready to be with him right now so I don’t think anyone was arguing that they are for sure together now, just that the song is about her

R183 again this was about his family saying something. Not at all about the song. Maybe his mother is sending him howlers everyday, maybe his brother stopped speaking to him. How can anybody presume to say that they don‘t? Only that, by how things present themselves (she claiming to be single, him saying he hasn‘t met the woman he wants to marry, plus them not spending any time together), there really seems no need for anybody to intervene. R187 he was sightseeing in Brighton. She was pedicuring in Cali. It is known.

by Anonymousreply 194September 21, 2021 2:50 PM

R193 It's true. The last time he looked good without a beard he was a young lad. He doesn't have the strongest jawline and I think the beard helps it look more sculpted. If he's going to let his face fly solo without a beard then he needs his Dorian Gray hair back. Truly I think his darkling look is the best suited to him now. His Billy Russo S1 look was great (I loved the hair although it's a bit dated now) and the beard was perfection for his bone structure, but he's older now. He's very lucky to have that mane of gorgeous, thick, shiny hair.

R195 don‘t agree about Billy‘s hair, I hated that, but I thought Gold Digger was a good look for him. He has way too much cheek to go naked. Although his face is telegenic, and some lenses make him look absolutely stunning, while others make him look bland. In the Jason vid he looked only average and again TINY HEAD. His music video director is the same who directed the fav SB episodes. She really knows how to do him, so to say.

I should've specific with Billy Russo's hair, I didn't prefer when it was slicked all the way back as his head is kind of narrow for that and his ears stick out a bit. For some reason DL won't let me link a picture but I preferred when it was sort of parted, or pieces fell in front of his face like in the sniper and carousel scenes.

Maybe that’s what she likes Ben for, his shoulder so she can cry on it. Must be hella soggy by now.

Did anyone notice when she liked his post - the ‘I’m overwhelmed’ one? That was from 3 days ago and I didn’t think I saw her liking it right away. Only asking as I remember when she was in Mexico and she’d posted something and BB had posted something around the same time. He waited 2 days to like her post and she did the same with his, and it felt very like tit-for-tat . It was not long after the family awards thing where some of us speculated they’d fallen out and it seemed to fit very well with that theory at the time!

Her post went up 3 days ago, and it seems he waited 3 days to like it so I wondered if she did the same with his this time again. But yeah maybe he’s just trying to fly under the radar - it’s not working, Benji!

Wonder if he’s been on lurking again…. we mention that his SMfest is well and truly over and lo and behold, we have a story yesterday *and* today! Wow, push the boat out BB why don’t ya.

R241 With the caveat that I don't know the tweets in question, we can technically only say that *she* wants everyone to know. Because if you tag Ben with a The Ho/11:11 pic he will untag himself so damned fast.. Add to that the fact that he's hiding his likes of her to where he thinks no one is looking gives me more of the impression that he's not comfortable right now with people noticing his association with her. Is that because of her issues of a new round of universal hate and how it made her, and therefore him, look, or is it because of his continuing refusal to acknowledge his private life?

The fact that he's still liking her stuff might instead indicate that he remains a fully whipped, weak-minded coward. Remember, he keeps liking every time she talks about unconditional love. (And has he specifically talked about it too lately? I can't tell them apart anymore..) It may not matter how much or how badly she disrespects his wishes (or worse..), he's still going to be unconditionally in love with her. It's Real Love, remember?

I mean really all we've done apart from informing his fan base is stream new eyes to her social media platforms which she needs at the moment since she ain't got a TV gig.

Ben will be feeling shame surrounding her association right now he want to be interfering with his Barnacle music/merch coins! But he loves her unconditionally...

I've succumbed to my own denials of the song not being about Belianne after reading that Blind gossip about Brooks.

The girl has a type and I can imagine her reputation has followed her, She has covid travelled the world this year husband shopping and absolutely no one wants to marry her...except for BB and even then she still rejects him. Major red flag Ben, Major!🚩

Hello all I'm new here but I've been lurking on and off. Okay so I am a 38yr old woman and I just want to give my two cents from a woman's perspective. First thing Jullianne Hough is bipolar with manic. My dad used to work in a mental hospital so I'm used to the terms. To me she exhibits all the symptoms. Now with that being said this is what I truly believe is happening. If a woman is going to string a guy along well she's got to be getting something in return I mean it's a lot of damn work to be having fake feelings for someone. All she's getting according to all of you is some emojis ( to which you have to strain your eyeballs to see) and a song that may or may not be about her. Honestly that's not shit. Ben has not been physically with her nor does he really acknowledge her. Most people who are so in love with someone would do a hell of a lot more regardless if what people think. And the song itself pretty much says the person in the song found love or something better yet what has Jullianne got? She has no man and pretty much everyone hates her ass lol. And even with sex you would still have to get something in return. If I'm going to use a guy and sleep with him it better be for more then some small ass emojis and a song. Jullianne is extremely lonely and desperate for attention ( the girl even ran her own bath water and lit candles claiming someone else did it all for attention) and all the emojis well think about it it seems like that idea came from these threads. I remember seeing people talk about Ben as the lion being he's a Leo and tagging Jullianne constantly. She just used what you guys gave her. She posted the Lionheart on that dress. And with Ben's emojis I mean the man has been using emojis for a long time and he loves hearts as for the 33 well that also has a numerical meaning that all things are possible and the fairy emoji I believe can be associated with gay or bisexual I know Jessie Mei Lee also has a fairy by her name on IG. The song Rise Up to me seems like it could be an anthem of sorts. But you guys made it about Jullianne and tagged her and again she used the fairy in an old story and used the same song Ben had used. The same can be said about 11:11. I knew what the meaning was years ago and I'm sure Ben can read and do research without Jullianne. His meaning is more about wishes instead of the twin flame. Now I know what happened way back when with the pap walks and the Montana trip but to me that was all to get the ex back and it failed. I don't see Ben longing for Jullianne being he pretty much acts like she doesn't exist except liking a few posts here and there. I do however see Jullianne using the attention you guys give her as a way to garner more attention. Sorry if this post is long

by Anonymousreply 275September 22, 2021 10:43 PM

Forgot to add to my post that as for Ben I pretty much believe he told her he doesn't want to be more then just friends which is why she posted that bizarre crying video in her car. And I believed he followed DH before cause he liked a post back last year in November I think he just accidentally unfollowed. As for not liking his posts for a while and then starting back up he did the same to the actress Gugu Mbatha Raw recently

by Anonymousreply 276September 22, 2021 10:48 PM

IG Follow Sleuth here. He’s gone up to 252 but I only Apple Music.

Kinda surprised he didn’t follow them when he followed Spotify but Benny’s been a bit erratic lately so better late than never.

He obviously doesn’t feel the need to ditch anybody right now since Emma Mackey reactivated but I’ll keep an eye out as usual.

Re DH not following him back - there was speculation at the time he refollowed (?) him that DHo didn’t follow back because he’s big buddies with Brooks and is pissed off at Ben. I guess it’s either that or he doesn’t want to fuel any more speculation about JHo and Ben but Ben did that anyway when he followed him.

And yeah - Vegas baby!! Shake those tits and ass JHo and ffs pull someone while you’re there!!!

R275 I agree about her possibly being crazy but I respectfully disagree about everything else haha I’m a woman and I’ve used guys for sex without expecting anything else in return because the sex was what I was getting in return. Good sex is hard to find sometimes 😂 maybe it was even why her marriage ended who knows. I’ve also leaned on the most empathetic people in my life when times were hard and given the wrong impression to someone by choosing temporary feelings over long term realistic ones. I also don’t think we can know Ben “pretty much acts like she doesn't exist” just because he only likes a few posts here and there. We have no idea what their private communication is like. I rarely interact with my closest friends/family sm posts because I’m not on much or just passively scrolling, but I still talk to them every day so I don’t need to know what’s going on in their lives just from social media all the time especially when they have sent me the pics or news personally. I probably interact more with posts of people I don’t talk to every day because it’s a lower effort means of still staying connected in absence of any other contact. And unless Ben is coming out as bi I don’t think he would have any reason to hide fairy and heart emojis and a 33 that he posted at midnight Central European time on her 33rd bday. At this point it takes more mental gymnastics to stay in denial about them than to see their potential relationship or weirdly public friendship.

The idea for the emojis didn’t come from here because we didn’t start talking about his possible association with a lion until we saw the first mini lion emoji on her dress, but I wouldn’t be surprised if she was fueled by the attention she got here to continue. She’s pathetic but I don’t think she’s really pathetic enough to go out of her way with the 11:11 necklace and “it’s time” posts to try to make the song seem about her if she knows it’s not about her, particularly when there’s a very real possibility Ben would see her posts or fan reposts and make the connection. Wouldn’t you be embarrassed if you tried to make a song seem to be about yourself if the person who wrote it and probably most of his close friends/family know it isn’t about you? That’s another reason why I think it’s about her otherwise she just makes herself look crazy and desperate to him and anyone else in the know. And all it says is he wants her to be happy it doesn’t say anything about her already finding someone else so I don’t think her current relationship status matters but it’s pretty clear from the song he’s not with whoever it’s about anymore. Assuming it was written recently and not at some other point in their 8+ year friendship. I think he had to be in love to be stupid enough to leave his family right after Christmas after going all the way to another country to see them during a pandemic just to further break restrictions for a weekend with a girl you have been friends with for 8 years it’s not like it was a novelty new connection. You don’t do that just for sex. Whatever it was I hope it stays history

PLUS knowing where things are is half the battle for a guy being good at sex with a woman and his mom literally wrote the book on this. I think he knows his way around enough to be used for sex especially during a pandemic divorce when he probably offers free therapy pillow talk

However, recall he doesn't truly ghost.. he does *always* continue to like all their super sexy model worthy glam shot posts with the private account (and most of the time *not* like the regular posts..) for years afterwards. Well, until he gets a new girlfriend, or they get a new boyfriend, when he stops liking mostly at all. Cause he's a gentleman with his arousal shout outs.

And FWIW whenever I've checked NYC girl's instagram she's never posted anything about Ben or her harassment or anything related to the whole ordeal. So I think defending your vague post saying you didn't want anyone else dragged through the mud might seem disingenuous.

I like when you give us tid bits, FTR. But offering up that kind of info with *nothing* else can read as just looking for attn. Don't let naysayers and skeptics keep you from posting, though.

by Anonymousreply 340September 23, 2021 9:17 PM

Okay so I have something to say about this whole 11:11 thing. I actually don't believe it's about Jullianne Hough I have a feeling who it might be about but I will say that in a minute. I do believe Jullianne knows it's not about her but loves the idea that people believe it is. And I know someone was talking about how it would be embarrassing if you would act like something is about you and it wasn't but this is the same girl who had a "butt exorcism" in front of a live audience so I wouldn't put anything past her. Touching on the thing with her and Ben honestly I don't really see anything. If he was longing for then to me he would do more then just emojis. Like he would be physically with her or support her companies things like that. He seems to treat other friends with more love then Jullianne hell even some fans. And he sure as hell wouldn't be following some titty account lol. And even with the Montana trip I don't know what he did before he got there being I wasn't on the flight with him but I also saw that Shaun White also went and he's like the Michael Phelps of his sport so I would say maybe Ben was more star struck. Jullianne also had female friends up there before Ben arrived so it seemed like it was some type of "pity party" as for the emojis well if you have to hide something so little like that then it's obvious you don't want people to associate you with that person which is pretty bad. Now for who I think the song is really about I believe it's the very same girl in the video Evan Rachel Wood. I felt there was something when I started watching Westworld way back and saw them BTS and all the dubsmash videos they did. You can tell he felt some type of way with her. And it's only fitting that she would be in that video.

I don’t know if it’s about ERW, I think it is about someone we don’t know. What if we find out in like a year all the covers and the album and everything were actually about some girl he met years ago that doesn’t advertise everything she does on social media. JH used this moment because they clearly aren’t together. I would celebrate the day when something pops up on his insta that is about this girl even if it is just like her initials or something confirming everything just so JH can stop trying to get attention off of BB.

by Anonymousreply 344September 23, 2021 11:15 PM

Now this entire Bin Bons shows how interested he is in his fans. Zero.

About the song: he said the songs were about a specific time but different people during that time. Will be interesting to hear the rest then. Maybe Rise Up is an ode to his mother? Maybe this is about when she was ill?

Finally got around to listen to the song and it sounds not only like Bublé but very familiar in general. Like a copy of something.

R324 Me neither. That’s the second time he’s done that recently. I think the other one was a wrongly placed apostrophe if I remember correctly. 😱 Too excited to spellcheck??!!

Also (and I know this is pedantic and he lives in the US now obviously) but when he was first publicising the single release he used the American date version 9/17. If you’re British then sorry, you just shouldn’t, it’s alien to us 🤣 He corrected it afterwards and used both but still, c’mon Barnes.

R341 wait….are you seriously arguing that Ben Barnes went to Montana for *checks notes* Shaun White because he was “star struck” for a professional snowboarder?? Has Ben even been snowboarding or skiiing? You really think that over the possibility of him (allegedly) taking a transatlantic flight during a pandemic for a woman he’s been paped with twice, blind revealed to be in a relationship with, and exchanging hidden emojis, birthday number messages, and song lyrics with all summer?? And you think it’s instead about two costars that seemed to be having fun together in some silly dubsmashes and therefore “You can tell he felt some type of way with her??” You do know she was dating and then engaged to Zach Villa the entire time they were filming Westworld together right? You have got to be kidding. These denial theories just keep getting more desperate and insane. Also….

[quote]Touching on the thing with her and Ben honestly I don't really see anything. If he was longing for then to me he would do more then just emojis.

He literally wrote, recorded, and released a song and music video for her. I’d say that’s a bit more than “just emojis.”

Everything in these threads is just speculation and gossip so there's nothing that anyone actually for real knows. None of us know Ben or his family and friends. It's just all assumptions. I actually agree with someone who said that the song is about someone we haven't seen. Someone in his past. Jullianne is a crazy manipulative bitch who is literally following people to try to erase the memory of people calling her out but that will always be with her just like her fake ass doing black face. Her putting in an ugly necklace with that stupid emoji just seems like trolling. I've seen that being said in here before so I agree with that. And I'm so tied of the Montana thing it's been talked about to death. It happened all the way back in the beginning of the year and it's almost the end so can we please retire that shit. I haven't seen him do any other emojis it's just been her so it seems one sided right now. I'm sure that if the song was about her then NONE of his friends would've helped him out and ERW would've definitely not been in his video. Again we are all speculating and until Ben actually comes out and says it ( which he won't) then that's all we'll ever have.

by Anonymousreply 363September 24, 2021 2:15 PM

R363 maybe he just didn’t said who it was for or was super vague about it. Again why call that song 11:11, which is her big thing, if it’s not about her? We know he had a thing with her, she most likely talked to him about 11:11. It would be so bad if he actually used the 11:11 that d’onde woman he had/still have any relationship with to talked about another woman. It’s so obvious it’s about her, we all hate her but not need to be in denial about the song

by Anonymousreply 364September 24, 2021 2:43 PM

R364 I've known about 11:11 for years. I mean even Usher posted about it. Julliane is not the only person in Ben's life. I'm not in denial about anything just cause I don't agree with what is being said doesn't mean I'm in denial. Like I said everything here is all speculation and assumptions. None of us know Ben or anybody associated with him. We don't know who Ben talked to cause none of us was there. So again until Ben actually says something then all we have is speculations

by Anonymousreply 365September 24, 2021 4:40 PM

R365 of course it’s all speculation and Ben would never say about who that song is but she make it sure to show us twice that the song might be about him and I don’t see Ben having problems with that. She’s his most recent relationship and he’s still acting like a puppy with her, for me it’s obvious it’s about her

by Anonymousreply 366September 24, 2021 4:54 PM

R363 Begging for everyone to stop talking about Montana, aka the most damning piece of evidence that they were actually in a relationship at some point in recent history, is illogical and stinks of desperation to stay in denial. Of course no one here knows for sure what is true, but the point of speculation is you take the circumstantial, albeit often weak evidence we do have to come up with the most likely conclusion and just because you choose to ignore one piece of info that changes the entire narrative because you are sick of talking about it doesn’t make it any less true to anyone else. The beginning of the year wasn’t even that long ago especially when we are debating the subject of a song that had to be written at least several months ago

JH got ZERO press coverage on SM platforms from Global Citizen and else where on the net...so far. Ushers name was the only one on the billing list but it was waaayyy down and there was no coverage for him either...so far. Priyanka was the only one that got mentioned and was only included in a story about the event...on getting entertainment insta story!

So JH isnt news worthy or relevant anymore (never was) and I can imagine other celebs wouldn't want to be associated with a SM train wreck unless she pays them. Bit of a pattern for JH now she very rarely gets included in official press coverage for big events with multiple stars, it was the same situation with the Italian awards ceremony (husband shopping) event she went to. Nina got ALOT of press (showcasing her new big titties) and JH got minimal. She isnt rated very much in hollyweird compared to her brother.

R430 BB posted a story of him going to work with the moon still high: they have very early calls, probably a rather punishing schedule.

by Anonymousreply 431September 27, 2021 2:17 PM

R431 Well that nearly full moon was setting that day, which means that was. . . let's guesstimate an hour before sunrise. If we assume a regular pre-call wake up time of 1-2 hours earlier, that's still at the earliest waking at 3am. In that particular case, saying 'you should be in bed' only 12 hours later seems. . . extreme..

Early calls I get, especially if he has regular protheses applied. It's the sleeping at 3pm. That only makes sense with night shoots, not early calls. Unless you consider midnight an "early call.." ;)

by Anonymousreply 432September 27, 2021 3:10 PM

Filming schedule is often decided the day prior: it means that if they have some early calls and some night calls... you are always tired and trying to sleep whenever you're off! Maybe in the interview, he joked about missing sleep, I don't know...

Am I only the only surprised that his IG follower count hasn’t jumped to 2 million, with the spate (modest, but even still it’s more than usual) of publicity? I’d have thought a boost of 100k would at least result. This says a lot about the lack of reach beyond existing fanbase.

R436 Lol there have even been fan fics about it. I understand shipping the Darkling and Alina but I don’t get any shippey vibes from Ben and Jessie. They seem to have more of a brother sister or close friend mentor/mentee relationship when you see them in interviews together. Plus she has referenced having a partner. But anything is possible I guess. They will all be two years older and more experienced when they start shooting in November than they were in 2019 so maybe Ben will feel less like the old man now

He’s just done an Apple Music The Chart Show interview so that explains the recent follow. Nothing new but she asked him straight out what 11:11 was about. Same explanation but IDK - have a listen, it seemed to me like he was trying to make it sound even *more* generic. Maybe trying to distance it further from the Ho?

Yeah I agree - old pic. He’s got much warmer tops with him in Toronto - polo shirts etc. Tie dye screams Cali. Think he’s trying to get the fandom ready for the Return of The Beard.

Two more (old) thirst pics from HoFace, no likes from BB yet. One of the pics is from that set she posted which looked like she had an incredibly long arm. Think the two pics must be from The Activist set - she’s brave. Maybe she thinks everyone’s forgotten about it by now. LMFAO.

by Anonymousreply 465September 29, 2021 6:28 PM

R465 Yeah, I’ve just listened to it. Here are my initial thoughts:

OK, he’s been on a 5am shoot in a graveyard but fidgety or what? Pulling his face around, shoulder jiggling, eye-hiding….

*Very* little eye contact - but would he have been able to actually see the guy? Maybe not. If not, I’ll let him off.

Wow. He actually mentioned ‘romantic relationships’ and ‘relationships he’s held out hope for for too long’!!! Picks self up off floor. Of course we know nothing about who (or the several who’s?) that could be about.

That interviewer really went at him about the private stuff and what was behind 11:11. BB must’ve been absolutely fine with all that. Trying to shut down some of the speculation? There was none of the awkwardness like when that screechy American woman asked him if he was single on that Live. Not that we got any actual real information about those ‘romantic relationships’ of course! Loved it when he said he wasn’t into “all that claptrap” about 11:11.

Could be wrong, but I see that as a real kick in the teeth for JHo. He must know everyone assumed she’d given him the inspiration for that song.

Yeah, yeah, I know - it could just be obfuscation, of course.

But maybe, just *maybe* we can forget all about the Ho in the very near future!

by Anonymousreply 466September 29, 2021 7:09 PM

And god does she look so FAKE in the previous two. I’d actually expected him to like the spa post, where she was going for the more au naturel look! (filter) 🤣

R467 And yeah, I think it definitely was her that told him about 11:11, but he’s now emphasising that it’s more about ‘making a wish’ for someone, like when you blow out your birthday cake candles. Then he went on to say about not believing all the spiritual stuff and all that claptrap. So that’s where I think the distancing kicked in big time because the Ho definitely does!!! 😁

R465 Finally had a listen myself. And first note is saying there is no actual start date yet for S&B2 filming yet, but probably beginning of next year. Oh, that's different..

Anyway, some quick points.. so he talked about actually not at all being into mysticism and all that claptrap (instead, for the second time in a row now, explained/excused his 11:11 usage by mentioning Baader-Meinhof syndrome.. though I'm forced to wonder if he looked that up after the fact.. lol..).

And he spoke positively about social justice and reform (didn't mention activism though.. huh..).

And he spent pretty much the entire twenty minutes acting like a high functioning weirdo (though considering he was desperate to go back to bed, that might have been caffeine jitters..).

Now dare to tell me he doesn't read these threads!! LOL!!!

R531 I wouldn’t particularly like a Darklina sex scene, no - apart from the light/dark thing IMO they don’t make a believable couple, but I’m mainly talking about the whole ‘ship’ thing. As R532 said, the Darklina shippers are rabid enough already.

Just let the main story play out, tweak bits of it if you like Eric, but don’t totally rewrite it. Wonder how Bardugo would feel about him really shaking things up? She might actually not have much choice - thinking back to Netflix’s ‘send in your fan art and we’ll use it however we like without credit’ fiasco.

R533 Pretty half-hearted ‘boob grab’ from The Darkling. Looked more like a ‘where is the boob fumble’ to me! Maybe he’s too old to remember 🤣

by Anonymousreply 535October 4, 2021 6:48 PM

Or he forgot there’s not much to grab onto especially behind stiff embroidery 😂

R536 Unfortunately for him that kefta is not suitable for a boob grab :/

Kinda want a Darklina sex scene for the chaos it would unleash on Twitter, Idk it would just be field day 😂

R538 some already goes around saying that they definitely had sex in real life so I can’t imagine their reactions

by Anonymousreply 539October 4, 2021 7:01 PM

R539 Yeah I’ve seen a bunch more people lately say that and gonna be honest, a Darklina sex scene would just ramp that up. I wonder what Ben thinks though, he should be grateful because it’s getting his fans something else to talk about besides Julianne. Given his recent actions, I assume he’d rather be associated with JML than Ms. Activist

by Anonymousreply 540October 4, 2021 7:04 PM

R539 Hahaha that’s them ‘manifesting’ I think. We really don’t know of course but I don’t believe that 🤣

by Anonymousreply 541October 4, 2021 7:09 PM

R541 yeah I think it’s that, I don’t know why they’re so obsessed about it, maybe because they’re projecting ? She’s young, had a crush on him when she was a kid and, sorry, but a bit immature like lot of them. I don’t get the vibe either, I think they got along on set but just not as coworkers

by Anonymousreply 542October 4, 2021 7:12 PM

R540 That’s a good point but I think JML’s too quirky and hip to go for Ben irl. I think it’s a big bro/little sis thing, where he took her under his wing a bit cos she’s just starting out in her acting career. I think BB loves that kind of vibe, he’s the ‘been there, done that’ actor onset, he’s like that with Archie too. I think him and Freddy clicked more than the others!! That’s his kinda person.

by Anonymousreply 543October 4, 2021 7:14 PM

Ooo controversial opinion here then! I think it’s 50/50 for me like I can see them getting it on at some point but I also wouldn’t be surprised if they’re just friends. The whole improving that one kiss is a little suspicious to me, I know he said something about the Darkling and feelings and blah blah but…really? 🤔👀

by Anonymousreply 544October 4, 2021 7:18 PM

R544 my guess is they were just trying to sell the ship. They went extra with the pics to promote the show and the ship

by Anonymousreply 545October 4, 2021 7:22 PM

Plus I think they are just really close friends so that helps sell it too. Ben calls Anna his very best friend still so it wouldn’t be the first time he’s become close friends with a female costar

by Anonymousreply 546October 4, 2021 7:28 PM

R545 True but Jessie didn’t know he was going to do that, you can even tell if you look at her face when he goes back in. I don’t know just thought it was interesting! Yeah they did do a lot of pics for promotion but there equally as many that aren’t and it’s obvious they spent the most time with each other

R547 Ooh that’s two bold statements right there. I think you’ll find *numerous* statements from all of them that the cast hung out together a lot. And that he and JML had in depth discussions about how they’d handle that scene. Guessing you’re a Darklina??!! 🤣

by Anonymousreply 548October 4, 2021 8:02 PM

R548 Never said that the cast didn’t hang out together but Jessie herself said she spent the most time with Ben 😶

by Anonymousreply 549October 4, 2021 8:06 PM

Out of curiousity what is the name of Ben's private Insta account, or does it change regularly?

Also, does he really monitor his own insta and twitter and etc accounts? That would take way too much time. I would guess he has both software to monitor and pick the ones who post the most or the most ardent fans, and I bet he pays someone to monitor accounts, becuase his stans post a lot.

R529 Apologies, as I don't mean to hijack the conversation. . . but what was that you were saying about production delays?!

But then again these are companies that literally pay zero dollars in taxes, despite making millions or even billions in *profits*, so maybe they'll acquiesce quickly..

R549 OK must’ve missed that, I hear what you say but I still don’t think that warrants ‘shipping’ them together irl. Didn’t she also talk about her live in partner? I felt uncomfortable for them while all the ‘showmance’ promo’ ing was going on, which I know they’ve got to do but I think it all went over the top, especially with the Twitterdom going apeshit about it. There was that one pic of the two of them that Netflix posted looking really intensely at each other by the fountain, and neither JML nor BB liked it. I think they were over it at that stage.

R553 fans don’t care that she’s dating someone. I saw a tweet (don’t remember the account) and they were saying something like « 100% sure they dated in real » and someone else mentioned Jessie’s partner and the fans just didn’t care

by Anonymousreply 555October 4, 2021 8:24 PM

R550 He deactivated his private IG after deleting all his followers/follows and changing the pfp, account name and username. If he does create another one, I’m guessing he’ll stay far away from his previous incarnations as they always got tracked down! 🤣

R555 R557 Oh they definitely don’t care! Some of the stuff they put out there’s truly awful so I hope JML’s partner’s got thick skin (and BB’s because we don’t know he wasn’t dating someone at that time either) 😬 I still don’t believe it tbh 😂

R559 I haven’t been involved in fandoms - just saw all the S&B stuff when it was erupting - the BB fandom was pretty tame just like our boy up till then 🤣 Is that pretty standard in other fandoms too as they seem really full on! I fear for Benny Boy in Paris!!!

by Anonymousreply 560October 4, 2021 8:51 PM

R554 What does that have to do with this? The entire point I was making is these companies aren't getting taxed and losing money that way, and so have millions or even billions in extra cash, so they can EASILY pay their workers more to get them to keep working. If these companies want to quickly continue to make the content that makes them money, they can afford to end this right away. Get it?

But then again, they do have a billions-strong rainy day fund, and their workers statistically might have a week-long one, a month at most. . . . Goliath can also easily afford to wait out David too, and they know that. *shrug*

by Anonymousreply 561October 4, 2021 8:54 PM

R553 I know which one you mean but I’m pretty sure both of them liked it when I last checked (cant right now since Instagram is down) They mentioned a partner in an old Instagram post but that’s as far as anyone knows. And yeah I don’t know if it necessarily warrants shipping them but someone in this thread started “shipping” him with Emma Mackey so 😂 I hope they were joking

Happy to see with the internet collapsing we can still gather here together on the DL . In that interview upthread he speaks about authenticity again and being who he is or something.... But like 30 threads in and we still can figure out what kind of person he actually is? Side note: I won't say no to a Darklina sex scene. Anything to distract from the Ho. And they need to spice it up with S&B. Plus, as has been mentioned, the manic response from the Fandom should prove to be entertaining.

Lol R590 R591 it was obviously a joke lighten up! I would be more worried about the casting directors who can’t tell the difference between a tan girl in Hollywood and a Latina. And as was already demonstrated last time this thread was attacked for not hating FL enough, no one has been able to provide any proof those roles were actually “meant” for a Latina (as in it was a written requirement for the character and FL lied about it in her audition) so until there’s actual proof this whole scandal seems fabricated out of jealousy
