The course of true love…

 

Irony abounds: Whitney Wolfe, co-founder of the speed-dating app Tinder, has had a bust up with fellow co-founder Justin Mateen, who dated her, off and on, for a year. Fuelled by rejection and jealousy, he allegedly called her a slut and a liar. And much worse. It was also alleged in her lawsuit she brought against the firm that both Justin and Sean Rad had sexually harassed her for most of the time she worked at Tinder. Then they demoted her ‘co-founder’ status.

Neither seemed to be aware of the fact she worked for A Firm of Lawyers, but then again, perhaps they were.

Ms Wolfe has settled out of court for an undisclosed sum. Let’s hope it was an eye-wateringly large one, for such untrammelled stupidity on so many levels deserves a suitably painful chastisement.

But we all know that rejection is hard to take. Some of us are paralysed into a state of frozen inactivity because of the fear it induces.

Not so Drunken Woman On A Plane.

Flying Delta from Baltimore-Washington to Salt Lake City earlier this year, she took an extraordinary shine to the man sitting next to her. She made several ‘advances of a sexual nature’ but he politely refused. The burly, tattooed and crop-haired woman then went mental and had to be restrained and put in handcuffs. The captain of the Delta plane diverted to Minneapolis-St.Paul where she was escorted off by a team of equally burly policemen. It was said at the time that ‘she may face federal charges’.

Amor vincit not quite omnia.
