To me, it emphasizes the fact that she’s a schoolkid, and it’s like he’s playing “got your nose”. If they were both adults, it would be a cute, silly moment, but…
A 38 year old dating a high schooler? Yeah, I think that’s gross. I don’t care who approved of it. By the same token. nobody needs to agree with me, either.
Yes. How difficult is that to understand for you? The age of consent isn't some magical day where a person suddenly matures and is capable of making all of the right decisions.
He was 38, fabulously wealthy, and incredibly famous. She was a 17-year old schoolgirl. THAT'S. FUCKING. GROSS!
The fact that her family were just like "a rich, aging celebrity?!? Of course you can predate on and fuck my 17 year old daughter", that says awful things about her parents.
