i do not think boundaries are boring. and even if they were, what’s wrong with being boring? also, the last sentence implies she was being unkind. they are not owed kindness, but i don’t think she was unkind.

“Boundaries are boring” is a terrible piece of advice.
How Boy George felt telling Chappell to use the magic of kindness to break boundaries.

“Boundaries are boring” from the guy that went to jail for chaining someone to a radiator and beating him with a chain lol

I think he’s trying to say appreciate it while you got it, but of course it doesn’t feel like that when you’re being pursued and boundaries are being violated. but mainly, men should just be quiet instead of constantly feeling entitled to tell women how to be and feel.

Did he use the magic of kindness to turn the classic “you should smile more” into this? A good dose of passive aggression and shade wrapped in a big bow of hearts and flowers.
Maybe let this woman own HER fame the way she wants to at her own pace? Maybe she’ll figure it out. She hasn’t been famous for that long. Nor can Boy George speak to the female experience of fame and all the specific things it entails. And asking a woman to break her boundaries is so fucking tone-deaf and sexist.

Of course Boy George thinks “boundaries are boring,” he went to jail for attacking a male escort and handcuffing him to a wall to stop him from leaving.

“[In January 2009, Boy George](https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2009/jan/16/boy-george-sentenced-handcuffing-male-escort) (George O’Dowd) was sentenced to 15 months in prison for falsely imprisoning a male escort, Audun Carlsen, at his London flat in 2007. A jury found him guilty of chaining Carlsen to a wall fixture and attacking him with a metal chain.”
That sort of magic of kindness?

Paps should just be illegal everywhere you go tbh. It’s gross they exist. We need to stop giving tmz or any tabloid any time of day as long as they invade peoples privacy.

Long way of telling a woman “you should smile more” 🫠

It doesn’t matter who you are. If you tell someone to get out of your face, they should get the fuck out of your face. No one owns you and you owe no one. It’s possible to be famous and have boundaries. I applaud Chappell for taking a stand.

I don’t think she needs to really cheer up lol. Weird thing to comment, but at the same time she also needs to not give them ammo. They love when celebrities do what she did. They feed off of that. You need to prank them in more clever ways that leaves them with nothing to use against you…like when Daniel Radcliff wore the same thing over and over so pictures would seem like they’re from the same day.
Paps love when you get in their face. They love when you throw stuff at them. They love when you give them something to work with. Getting in their face is what they live for.

‘Break them with the magic of kindness’ – what, like chaining someone to a radiator and beating them? Like that, George?
Why does this guy even have a platform at this point? He’s a washed up old has-been with a violent criminal record.

listen, i understand the advice regarding just ignoring them, because sometimes pushing back gives them exactly what they want. but fuck, we’re all human beings here, and how many of us haven’t been pushed back in a moment where maybe that wasn’t the right move, out of frustration? and sometimes hearing that advice is just like, great, now the onus is on me to respond “appropriately” even tho the paps are fucking assholes.
that said the way he phrased it is creepy as fuck and he could have kept his mouth shut if this is how he was gonna say it.

I’m tired of people telling celebrities to be okay with people invading their space when they’re in spaces they didn’t consent to be filmed. She wasn’t on a stage or performing. She was literally exiting a car on a street. She’s been very open about her mental health diagnoses. If she “lashes out” she’s the bad guy?
Yes, this is her job but boundaries are not a bad thing. We JUST had someone shoot into someone’s home that is a celebrity too. People are collectively losing sight of boundaries. Especially towards women celebrities.
