Talk:Samantha Ronson

Band members

Band members for *what*? That article is about an individual, not a band, and this section doesn't specify what "band" it is about Proxy User (talk) 22:08, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

I concur, it is very, very strange. I came here to leave a comment asking for clarification but since your comment has been here for seven months without response and this is a BLP, I'm going to go and remove it. Sarah 11:17, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

Retarded

The Lindsay Lohan section is yellow as the sun, why not trim it down a little? there's no reason for the article to report every single interaction they've had with the "press". Read the section, that sentence "When pressed by a paparazzo to deny the rumors, Ronson responded, "Are you retarded"?" brings nothing but sensationalism and bad taste to the article, plus Ronson could have meant something else when she said that like "are you retarded?...why would I tell you about my life?". Thoughts on removing/keeping the sentence?--Yamanbaiia^{(free hugs!)} 23:30, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

I wouldn't object to some trimming of the entire Lohan section, although I would retain Ronson's "retarded" comment. It may have been bad taste on Ronson's part, but it is what she said. And she has said very little publicly about the relationship. As for what she meant, that was the subject of considerable debate on Lohan's talk page, and I think the final conclusion was that no one knows exactly what she meant, so it was decided to present the quote without any interpretation and let readers decide for themselves. I think the quote tells us about as much as anything that Ronson has said about the relationship, so I would leave it in the article. Ward3001 (talk) 23:43, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

I didn't meant Ronson when I said "bad taste", I meant the Telegraph and any other respectable publication that may have reported Ronson's insult. What you just said is exactly why this shouldn't be here, no one knows exactly what she meant but by adding it in the article you give a simple sentence the air of a statement, it males it look like she said "duh, of course we are together".--Yamanbaiia^{(free hugs!)} 23:59, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

"duh, of course we are together": Maybe, or maybe just the opposite (meaning, "that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard"), or maybe neither. But my point is that Ronson has said precious little about the relationship, and this is something she has said. We can't remove the entire section on Lohan without outrage from a substantial portion of Wikipedia editors who follow this and Lohan's article. So if we're going to have something, we might as well have it straight from Ronson's mouth. I see nothing wrong presenting a direct quote and letting the reader decide.

"I dont think that comment is really needed, quiet minor really"94.196.192.54 (talk) 21:50, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

I don't think anything in this article is needed. 12.30.64.14 (talk) 20:23, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

Bisexual?

Ronson's LGBT Identity

When I first stumbled across this page, I noticed that there was no evidence of Samantha Ronson's sexuality reflected anywhere on it - in the section on her personal life, or in the categories. I've noticed an unfortunate amount of hand-wringing around LGBT+ topics on Wikipedia, and I hope that Ronson's sexuality isn't totally eradicated from her page again. (For the record, I've noticed the same thing with Ariana Grande, Rita Ora, and Aubrey Plaza - none of whom have pages that reflect how they have said they identify - and those are JUST the high-profile ones who I know about.) I added it back and kept it as conservative and indisputable as possible, with a quote and a source for it, and I hope it stays.

I think there is more than enough evidence out there that Ronson is not straight. She has dated at least one woman in Hollywood (Lindsay Lohan) and her social media suggests that she's dating a woman right now.

I also think that it's totally inappropriate to label her as anything, since she hasn't done it herself. She has clarified that she dates both men and women; she has never said that she identifies with a particular label. The page currently reflects her lack of a label while also reflecting that she isn't straight.

Lastly, I just think it's inappropriate to erase that part of her identity. Afddiary (talk) 23:16, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
