Commenting out Blondinbella

To be commented out today is Swedish celebrity blogger Blondinbella, who claims to be the victim of an offence while at holiday in Italy, hinting towards a rape. (Don’t execute her.)

The debate over whether offences, assaults and rapes are appropriate to blog about, and whether her claims are true are whooshing through not only the swedish, but also the norwegian ends of the tubes.

Commented out would like to state every bloggers right to be the boss of their own damn blog. I don’t see the relevance in other bloggers’ opinions about how far one should go in putting your private life on display to the public. At all. This blog will always continue to write about the subjects that I decide, and with that decision I owe Blondinbella the rights to do the same thing without interfering. Neither I nor anyone else - perhaps with the decision of Blondinbella herself - is the boss of Blondinbellas blog. Get real, people.

If she really was raped? I don’t know. Most things people say are true, and some are not. What does it really matter what I think of it?

One thing is for sure, though: Blondinbella is putting on a display of strength, telling anyone who will listen - and there are quite a few who will - parts of very personal things that (might) have happened to her. For that she deserves some out-commented kudos.
