The Alice Ripley thing REALLY annoys me. Guilty until proven innocent. Sounds to me like a handful of obsessive fangirls for Next to Normal that Alice probably had to shut down or block (one even says exactly that). There are no accusations of anything other than these vague claims - to what end? The main gal talks about Facebook messages and text messages. Well, where are they? Facebook messages don't go away, let's see 'em. This reeks, frankly. I have mixed feelings about whether Alice should actually respond or not (so far she hasn't), and some outlets have reached out to the fangirl who started this and she, of course, has not gotten back to them. If this proves untrue, it will be interesting to see what Alice does about it. I mean, read this article and what the "additional" kids are saying. Which is a big load of nothing.
