Jack Gilinsky for CLASH Magazine, photographed by Scott West.
i just wanted to share my view on the earlier occurrence, i know i haven’t been active at all recently so if you feel that this is irrelevant feel free to scroll by. so as many of you know there is a video trending of a drunk jack gilinsky verbally abusing madison beer, it is to my understanding that madison, as a joke, said that jack’s music is shit, now jack as he is drunk seems to not take this well as (in the video you cannot see anything but the voices are easily recognizable) he is saying that just to piss madison off he is not going to touch her but he will stand there and talk. he calls madison a slut numerous times madison threatens to call the police and jack asks what he’s doing madison says she will tell them he’s annoying her (i think she meant he was harassing her, which he was) and he mocks her for it. as a person who loved and supported both jacks for many years, but also a feminist* i think that the behaviour he has displayed is totally unacceptable. yes i know he was drunk, yes i know alcohol blurs your judgement, but how much of this are we actually going to blame on the alcohol? especially when this isn’t the first time jack has gotten abusive due to alcohol (there is also a trending video of gilinsky arguing with johnson and g hits j) also why does jack get this drunk when he knows what happens later? does he not have control? i believe that there should be a consequence set up for jack. be it rehab or whatever. but we cannot just let this go and do nothing because “oh, he’s cute.” or “but he can sing.” no. it’s not okay. i don’t care who it is it’s not okay. *no i do not hate men, i want equality, i would hold madison just as responsible as i would hold jack sorry for the long post but i didn’t want to seem like another person excusing him for his actions because i think he’s attractive or because i like his music. abuse is abuse. if you are being abused i urge you to find help. abuse isn’t just physical. it can be words, or threats too. if there’s any mistake i’ve made or anything you need me to clarify please let me know.
