Gawker Beauty-Shames Oscar Nominee’s Girlfriend, Readers Say ‘Suck A D*ck, Gawker’ (SCREENSHOTS)

Director Wes Anderson brought his girlfriend along to the Oscars. His movies were nominated for multiple awards, including Best Picture, but Gawker’s Defamer nominated his guest for a hateful and rather ridiculous serving of shame as dished out by Leah Finnegan.

Apparently, writer, illustrator, and actress Juman Malouf did not meet Finnegan’s standards of beauty in that she didn’t paint herself up like a clown or wear flashy clothing to the event:

Wes Anderson, a mouse-man and also a movie director, is at the Oscars tonight with a decidedly “alt” looking woman. HMMM. How did she get in? Who is she? Is she a spy? My viewing companion says she looks like a two-bit Rachael Leigh Cook, but I am impressed by her hair, which looks natural, her face, which looks natural, her willingness to be myopic in public, and her vintage wedding dress.

Finnegan noted that Anderson “dedicated The Grand Budapest Hotel to her. Isn’t that nice.”

Of course, Anderson is dating an intelligent, artistic, and successful woman who got to attend the Oscars. On the other hand, Finnegan’s primary claim to fame is that she “has a good Instagram account and hates the right people,” as Gawker announced when she was hired. Finnegan’s job responsibility, as outlined in a staff memo, is “helping each of you fake intelligence and sophistication day to day.”

Gawker’s audience, upon viewing the article with the sardonic leadin, “She looks nice,” unleashed a torrent of faith-in-humanity-restoring comments on the “f*cking rag.”:

Apparently, this is one of the “right people” Finnegan hates — an intelligent, talented, and beautiful woman who chose not to cave to the social norm of piling ninety pounds of makeup on one’s face — a woman who has already achieved more success than this miserable excuse for a human ever will.

As for Finnegan

She’s pretty…I guess.

    Leah Finnegan called the young woman “alt looking”? I think Leah Finnegan is “ctrl-alt-delete” looking. How do you like them apples, Leah?

    • Leo

      Subtract the Ctrl-Alt, I’d just call her Delete looking.

    Scene girl glasses and a shitty heart do not a good writer make.

    I see Gawker hires children. No wonder their articles are so lacking in life experience.

    Super lolz. Finnegan is busted. Take a picture much bitch?

  • Rob Collins

    posting a picture of finnegan in an attempt to bully her in retaliation really doesn’t make you much better, valerie beaumont. Would have been a fine article without having to stoop to that level

      I guess ” go suck a dick, gawker ” was much better, huh?

      • JoJoViolet

        Except that the ‘suck’ comment was an anonymous reader, the photo and intentional personal attack is supposed to be a journalist.

        • http://aattp.org/author/john-prager/ John Prager

          I don’t see an attack. I see her headline thrown back at her. I personally think she’s ugly…but that is solely because of the content of her character. :)

            She makes me think of high school and the rah rah in crowd using exclusion to their club as a weapon. Personally, I felt that setting my own path was “trend setting” in its own right, and let the followers follow if they dare or care to. This article was juvenile level intellect and mean spirited at best. I’m glad she caught flack for her lack of judgment and empathy. Mean girls just stay mean, I guess.

            “She makes me think of high school and the rah rah in crowd using exclusion to their club as a weapon.”

            Dude, you really expect better than that from GAWKER?

    Glass houses and stones, Gawker. At least Juman Malouf has a real career.

    Women’s worth is NOT in their looks but in their accomplishments and personality. If looks alone made any person valuable….we’d be in a sorry place. Wait, we were…we had an actor president not as bright as a teapot. Sorry!

  • George

    Whatever… Just stop following them… This is the best sanction they can get !

    Jodi Arias, is that YOU?

    • Anon2

      Glad I’m not the only one.. picture matches the personality.

  • Mark Esche

    Jeezus! This was as shallow as pond scum, and, much less valuable!

  • Barbara Thomas

    Not very creative, inventive or imaginative of all the artistic news about this Oscar night, this is with your two brain cells put together as a cohesive thought. You and yours deserve one another, shallow folks one and all. The kind people you need to watch your back with.

    I think she looks fine. I see absolutely nothing wrong with her looks.

  • Ellis8118

    Yup. With a capitol “C”.

      Reading your list of posts I have come to the conclusion you are truly a human hater.. You express yourself so poorly I highly doubt you really have an education at all. I am only commenting as I am a defender of the defenseless in so many aspects of my life and hate bullies. I think you need to rethink your role online. Are you adding to the progression of society or are you a negative person insulting to improve your own self image? I am sorry if there is something causing you pain and to lash out, but enough lady. It isn’t healthy for you or those around you. I imagine now you will rip me a new a$$ hole like is your MO but just stating the obvious.

    Gawker Media: “pro feminist” when it’s time to make dat cash off of Gamergate and “constantly shaming and degrading nerds into submission”

    Gawker Media: Not quite so pro-feminist when there isn’t as much money to be made anymore off of vilfying nerds, so better fall back on the ol’ standby of “constantly shaming and degrading WOMEN who don’t measure up to YOUR personal idea of what constitutes Beauty into submission by writing insanely shallow, moronic, and catty articles about their appearance when they are in public places”

    Got it.

    Bitch is ugly on the inside, based on her words.

  • chickadee

    While we were watching the Oscars I said to my husband, “I’m happy to see Wes Anderson has a wife or girlfriend who appears to be intelligent.”

    Hipster glasses… say no more.
