Great bài viết in reaction to the (disgusting) JS interview 

OMG THIS ARTICLE IS PURE GOLD! SUN RISED AGAIN! THANK YOU FOR POSTING IT!!!

After humiliating Blair (Leighton Meester) by crudely airing details of their sex life to a woman she was trying to impress, Chuck went home to continue to drink himself into a stupor.

After the phychological abuse, it was only a matter of time, before he would get physical.

Chuck made excuses for the way he'd publicly degraded her. "Everything I believed about my father, everything I thought I wanted to be, what I needed to be for him, it was all based on lies."

All these are very bad, but just because he comes from a difficult background it doesn't mean that he has the right to act that way.

"Gossip Girl" writer and executive producer did a follow-up interview this morning with E! Online, in which he insisted that Chuck is not, in fact, abusive. "He punches the glass because he has rage, but he has never, and will never, hurt Blair," Safran says.
We're left wondering if Safran missed the part where she went home bleeding because Chuck was using physical intimidation to release his own emotions.

I'm still in shock with Safran's statement. I would never expect something like that from a creator of a show that is been seen from so many young girls out there. He should have known better than that. Cause you can't go out and say that Chuck didn't want to hurt her, when it was obvious that he did! It's like he never actually saw the moment!

We love flawed characters. The Dexters and Damons of television keep things interesting; they raise the stakes. Chuck has been a fascinating character to watch on "Gossip Girl." However, for the writers to justify his actions and say that he's not being abusive toward Blair is, frankly, disturbing, particularly given the young, female target demographic of "Gossip Girl" and The CW.

I love flawed characters myself. Especially Damon Salvatore. But you have to know how to treat these characters.

Humiliating a woman with sexual language and derogatory statements, as Chuck did at the party, is abusive. Physically intimidating a woman by invading her personal space, shoving her, and being destructive to her surroundings is abusive. Women and girls who watch the show should be aware of this.

They've managed to make Chuck as the perfect represantation of the abusive man and the worst thing is that they now try to defend him. To pass him as being ok, because they're Chuck/Blair, Blair/Chuck!

The best part of the article comes when they enlist the signs of an abusive relationship and Chair fits them all perfectly.

We're not buying it. We hope that the women and girls who watch "Gossip Girl" realize that if they're being humiliated, sexually shamed, physically pushed or intimidated in a relationship, they deserve better than that.

I felt so stupid for watching the show after I read the Safran interview this morning! So glad for this condemnation! So glad!!
