I've been following the Danny Masterson trial very closely through the great Tony Ortega and so when I saw this recent Ireland Baldwin tiktok reaction posted here, it made me think about Ireland's situation growing up in the Baldwin family. Then I remembered that Alec's brother Billy is married to Chynna Phillips, from the 80s group Wilson Phillips. Chynna is Bijou Phillips' half-sister and Bijou is married to Danny fricken Masterson the now convicted rapist.

Tony Ortega, who broke the Danny Masterson story all the way back in 2017 and covered every day of both trials, explains more in a 2022 story here:

Chynna is described as "a classic social media oversharer" in Tony's article and Tony has been keeping tabs on Chynna's feeds because she has occassionally interacted with Bijou and Danny in the past. Chynna did a cringey interview with Bijou a few years back that Tony did an article on where Bijou described Danny as "macho" and a "Strong Island type". It was pretty insightful and didn't look good for Danny, a guy on trial for three counts of rape at the time, so Chynna deleted the video but Tony has the transcript still up.

Can you imagine all the garbage in Ireland's extended family? The whole incent deal with Mackenzie Phillips and just endless drama and really crazy family dynamics that Ireland has to deal with is so overwhelming even as a total outsider.

Also the whole cat poop storyline makes me think that Hilaria and the fam might have some sort of toxoplasmosis infection. This virus transmits through cat poop through handling or close contact. It's known to be a big issue especially for pregnant women which is why it's suggested to not have cats around. There are some interesting studies out there that suggest that the toxoplasmosis virus can alter human behavior very radically. There's a study that shows that it can manifest in risk taking behaviors, so it can effect the executive function of the brain:

The difference in seroprevalence of toxoplasmosis in these 2 samples suggests that Toxoplasma-infected subjects have a 2.65 times higher risk of traffic accidents than Toxoplasma-free subjects

So what this is saying is that people involved in traffic accidents in the study were much more likely to have been infected by toxoplasma. Just saying. Hillary seems like she's got some sort of parasite controlling her brain so maybe it's from the cat poop.

Also, whoever came up with the nickname Larry is amazing. Is there an origin story there?
