I’m confused so I need to ask what the truth is. I thought Gillian was actually nominated for something yesterday at the BAFTAs. I’ve seen plenty of people ignore that or say it’s not true and that she was there because it was for PM and she was supporting him and proud of him. That is NOT how I see it. She wasn’t there for him because if that were the case she would have stood on the red carpet with him and had photos with him through the night. That didn’t happen. But she WAS nominated, yes?

No, she wasn’t nominated. She did arrive at the same time of the cast and crew of The Crown, and sat nearby them. Truth is, she doesn’t need to have a reason the attend the Baftas. It’s not the first time she does, she’s a successful actress, and not everyone in the room was nominated. I think she was here for herself, first of all, and probably to support the team of The Crown if they’d win. They didn’t, so we’ll never what would have happened in this case. But I agree with you, if her first goal was to support Peter Morgan, she would have, at least, posed on one picture with him.

Week 1, HERE

Ok listen, first off I’m gillovny af, but I’m going to feel really bad if GA is with him*, but they don’t want to be seen together publicly b/c of all the crazy ass fans harassing both of them on twitter. I may not be a fan of the guy, but everyone deserves happiness and if he makes her happy who the fuck are we to talk AT her about it. (And by we I don’t mean you and me and the lovely gillovny Tumblrs – I mean the crazy fans who pretty much cyber bully celebs) *he who shall not be named

None of us should blame her or lynch her social media for that, you’re right. But I really do not think that’s the reason why they don’t want to be seen together, as you said. The thing is, they’re seen. They did come together at this ceremony, and sat together. If you believe they’re a couple, then you believe they’re out already, if not, it doesn’t make sense. Plus, acting like a couple once would maybe raise some anger and sadness and craziness in the fandom, but it would eventually calm down for good. What they’re doing isn’t a slow coming out as I could have read here and there. It’s something else, and I can’t put my finger on what it is exactly.

That said, I haven’t been much on Twitter tonight, but it feels like it much better than it used to be, right?

I am gillovny af so don’t want you to think I’m being shady. I am just curious for your opinion. If (huge if) ga and pm are together as a couple – do you think they didn’t walk the carpet together because of the backlash last time? I know ga doesn’t bother with social media but her team obviously knew the score. She may not be massively famous but bad press is bad press. Maybe this explains pm hanging back and trying to block the cameras filming candid stuff?

That doesn’t make any sense to me, actually. If they don’t want to be seen because of the backlash, which I don’t believe, then they wouldn’t show up together and sit together at all. At this point, if they’re together, they’re supposed to be out already. So there’s no need to hide and act like a non-couple. There’s so many things that don’t make sense and don’t add up that I’ve basically decided to chill and see what comes next. Things are rarely as simple as they look.
