Thanks To the Princess, Han Wasn't Always Solo (cnn.com)

Posted by BeauHD on from the love-affair dept.

rmdingler writes: It seems the chemistry was strong with these two. It is interesting to note how long it took this to emerge, as by today's standards, it doesn't rise to nearly the same level of scuttlebutt. Almost 40 years later, Carrie Fisher told People magazine that she and Harrison Ford had an affair on the set of the 1977 film 'Star Wars.' "It was Han and Leia during the week, and Carrie and Harrison during the weekend," she said. "After stumbling on often angst-ridden journals she kept while filming on location in London, she felt the time had come to open up about the formative experience," reports People magazine. "'It's been 40 years,' explains Fisher, who went on to write The Princess Diarist, excerpted exclusively in this week's issue."

    Slut shaming? You want to sleep with as many people as possible? That's fine. But if you are married you shouldn't be whoring around with other people and vice versa. Now she was 19, young and dumb so I give her a pass. But now she's trying to sell a book about it? Absolutely degenerate and disgusting.

    "it's been 40 years" and I need the money, so to get people to buy the book I am dragging out all my dirty laundry.

    Yeah, it's slut shaming. All motivated by the desire to reduce prospects for THEIR husband getting some on the side by reducing the available pool of women through intense criticism.

    I personally don't see others' sexual preferences and number of partners to be my business. You apparently do.

    I'm old enough to remember the religious assholes trying to tell all of us how to live and do not have good memories of this. I sense deja vu in your post.

    -- I didn't comment until she started bragging about it and using it to promote her book. So apparently she thinks it is my business and yours.

    I don't care if she wanted to drink the jizz of 1000 men (stormtroopers?) on the set of Star Wars. It's irrelevant and none of my business even if she publishes the diaries. There is no moral judgement to be made because it's irrelevant. Marriages are at-will constructs, particularly today. If Harrison Ford wasn't getting any at home and he wanted to fuck a 19 year old, his business, again. Neither one is a minor or mentally defective. I, and society in general, have no vital interest in restricting his dick for the benefit of his then-current wife.

    But interpreting this as anything but a moneymaking ploy is impossible.

    ...and he was 33 married with two children. Absolutely degenerate and disgusting.

    Then we should be shaming him, not her.
