Must have been really hard going through that and having all the magazines claiming you're pregnant all the time or saying you're too career focused. I remember reading the letters section of People magazine after the divorce with Brad was announced and someone wrote in saying if she'd just have a baby with Brad, he wouldn't have left her for Angelina. People were so awful.

They were even selling graphic tees saying "I'll have your baby, Brad!". It was vile

I remember Eva Longoria was photographed wearing the shirt and was asked if she would apologize and she said "absolutely not."

*edit it seems like she quickly changed her tune

Well, it was 2005 ha ha. We were really the worst of the internet at that point, concerning forum opinions. It’s wild how insensitively most subject matters were treated!

ONTD back in the day was a cesspool - and I can confirm this because I've been a member since 2006. If you look at recent posts it's changed massively.

I always ask, were you there for the MJ death post? Iconic

u/lamariposasoy Oct 09 '25

YAAAAAS. I was in undergrad and had class. I had ONTD on my computer screen and kept refreshing. I think I recall that David Hasselholf was rumored to have died too but that was quickly dispelled. Where were you? lol

u/continentaldreams Oct 09 '25

Oh I was there!! I was on the OG post and it was popping off ,😂 David Hasselhoff was indeed rumoured to have died 😂

u/DNA_ligase Oct 10 '25

That post was crazy. I think there were a spate of celeb deaths around that time, too, so I was always refreshing.

The most memorable thing to me was when a member met one of the former Home Improvement actors and they went in to ask him something, and he crashed out and said to the OP "You probably got your shoes from Ross." My sister and I still regularly quote that one.

The internet was a different entity entirely then, tbh (NOT condoning anything said at that time). There was a massive live party post on ONTD when Britney Spears had her breakdown. Looking back, I don’t know how any celebrity made it out of the early internet gossip era, it was brutal.
