Rumor killer - BI red herrings alluding to Timmy

[Simone]

I'm livid. I first saw this blind item at the Blind Gossip website yesterday. I KNEW they were insinuating Timmy for bait click, but it's totally NOT him. These assholes purposefully wrote this BI so that fools can automatically assume it's Timmy, but it's not him. I don't know who it is and I don't care, but it's not Timmy! I was about to tweet this yesterday to help get ahead of the comments that are held back 24 hours for maximum results in name dropping of key suspects. So I held back, didn't want to jump the gun, but I knew in my gut they were setting him up. Sure enough, today, they release the comments and 70% speculate Timmy. Fuck!

Blind Gossip purposefully used recent headlines of the "delayed" release date of Dune which has nothing to do with production which just completed, but instead, it's a studio decision for marketing purposes. The key word 'delay' is used in the title to lure people to read the gossip. Other key words: "young actor", "in his twenties", "very intense roles", "films received nominations", etc.

But aha, they don't reference that the actor in question is an Oscar nominated actor. That's who Timmy is, and that's the key to discount him. But the damage is done, most fools think it's Timmy and that annoys me.

A red herring in gossip is: something, especially a clue, that is or is intended to be misleading or distracting - Google

Most BIs are loaded with red herrings, just enough to make you think it's one person, the more high profile click baity person, instead of the lower hanging fruit person.

Anyway, I'll be using this new thread to help kill bullshit BIs that people falsely suspect is Timmy.

Also, the thing about BI Gossip site is that it takes either weeks or months for them to 'reveal' who the person actually is. So bookmark that to get to learn their modus operandi in the future.

Ugh. I hate this site and its fake click baits.

It's so blatantly obvious to any Tim fans it's not him, because they know he was shooting Dune for four months and literally finished only yesterday.
Those fools commenting on there are confusing delayed release date and delayed shoot. *facepalm*

It's the same as that site did a few months back where they claimed a young actor with European pretentious name was sexually harassing a young actress. It was while Tim was shooting Little Women. Never mind Chalamet's good name, Imagine thinking Gretta's 99% female set would allow that toxic masculinity. Grrr. Dips hits.

I'm glad you know what a crummy place it is. I hate how BI and CDAN use Timmy for click bait, and they both hate the Duchess of Sussex with a passion, they post all kinds of bs about her, so you know they will write anything that gives a faint of hint it could be Timmy, so the dummies and his haters can think it's him.

I hate these blind items. I think they're absolutely ridiculous! And I hate it even more when they try to insinuate that it's about Timmy. Don't people have better things to do then make up stuff off the top of their head and turn it into gossip? I mean, seriously.

[Simone]

Timmy's name or an insinuation of his good name related to gnarly gossip brings in website traffic. He's being used in such a disrespectful way.

[tracyrcat]

I HATE blind items. I stay away from the sites actually. They clearly are used for click bait. They make the blind item sound like a certain actor/actress, which was there plan all along. Just so dishonest and hideous.

[debunked]

You know what I hate more than these rumour sites? People convincing themselves that Chalamet and Depp dating was PR. It's practically Canon in some parts.
Like, what decade do they think we are in?
Who would gain from this "fake" coupling and how??

If it's PR for The King then it seems an incredibly elaborate charade far far in advance for a film with otherwise non existent self promotion so far.
And her role is tiny. No one would say "ooh, think I'll watch 2 hours of Shakespeare only to see if these two have chemistry at the very very end of it".


If it's because Chalamet is actually gay and Depp is his beard - A. Who made him do this? His proud gay agent? Or the studio execs in the 1940's?

And more absurdly B. It must be the single most subtle, most obscure piece of fake relationship in history. One where they were only seen together thrice in paps but never uploaded anything to their Instagrams on their own terms, and never went to high profile glitzy premieres/award shows together!
So do people think "Chalamet is owned by studio execs, but only 23% owned by them, and never on weekends"? Like, what?

How does this make more sense to people
than the fact two extremely good looking young people wanted to smash a bit?
It's so dumb.

Man, wanted to rant about this for months.

[Simone]

LOL! Rant on debunked!

All I'll say is that I think Timmy and Lily-Rose make a very attractive couple. I look forward to seeing them on the red carpet at Venice Film Festival in a few weeks. It's very, very, very common for attractive, single co-stars who work together, hook up. They ain't gonna get married, they are enjoying each others company and there's nothing wrong with that. Plus, they're both half-French.

Timothee and Lily were actually spotted together in Paris in late May, and there wasn't really a single peep, only some very brief video surfaced a couple of months later. There isn't really a way to call THAT a PR stunt. It would seem they're most likely still together. And yes, blind items are absolutely dreadful. I think I have some kind trauma from them lol

[Simone]

Thanks evy, that's good to know. I didn't know they were spotted in Paris outside of the eyes of the paparazzi. That's splendid.

[debunked]

You'd think that the batch of yacht photos would put an end to the idea that his relationship with Depp is fake, but nope, it fuels it.
It unleashed a wave of rants by delusional experts who would tell you just how Capri is known for paparazzi and how you shouldn't look straight at a camera if you're pretending to not know it's there and how Tim is gay and fake and handling his career wrong...

It united the cynical know-it-alls with the charmies to form an alliance of conspiracy loons.

This is clearly a fake PR relationship to boost fame/provide a beard for a gay actor and not two extremely privileged people of wealth, youth and beauty, enjoying their privilege like any other kid their age and status would.

And that batch of photos is the entire thing, and not carefully selected few of them doing something showy or looking around to see if anyone's looking - a handful out of hours of surveillance footage taken from a boat kilometres away.

These people need to get a firmer grip on the reality of their deep seeded jealousy.

If Chalamet was wary of exposing his private life before, they sure justified his fears.
