[netizen-chorus]

I think you were right the first time?

Slipper socks >>>>>>

[netizen-chorus]

You can’t even say thank you to somebody defending you? Ungrateful bitch

what color socks y'all got on?

[netizen-chorus]

You already got a woman

Got a whole wife sticking up for somebody he only slept with. He wasn’t gonna wife her so why is he even talking

You’re too old to be threatening people like this

Damn dinosaur lmao

I was advised not to act rashly, but I have seen one of my oldest and dearest friends suffering under the weight of all manner of unkindness. Octavia and I are happy, but I cannot be happy as long as Cleopatra is being mistreated like this.

[netizen-chorus]

A: I was just thinking about her the other day! Breathtaking

B: I hope she had a good life. Everyone deserved the best

C: STILL acting like nothing’s wrong LMAO

Does anybody know what Candy LaBeija did after that little documentary? She was so fine

[netizen-chorus]

A: look at her pretending she don’t see all this shit

B: Stop ignoring us girlie We want to talk to u

I miss Grace Jones. Hope ur well icon

[netizen-chorus]

A: I feel like Marcus knew about this B: marcus knows everything C: Shadyyy

[netizen-chorus]

@patpatcleo you hear about your man?

[netizen-chorus]

Were they gonna post about it or??

Never mind that. CLEO

What about Cleo?

Wait who?

The homewrecker keep up

Be nice. They're little

It's all over everywhere. If you know anything about Mark Antony, you know he's been with that Black lady forever

"Black lady" lol

Well that's what she is

Just say you're racist and keep it pushing

Did you just call me a hard r?!

No cause why didn't they post about it? This is weird

He tryna get away from her lmaooo

She doesn't need a man that's gonna skip out on her

They weren't even married. Who cares?

It's sad that he'll date somebody for a decade and marry somebody else just like that

It's because she didn't want to get married. Low-value females will always be replaced by ones who do things the right way.

Take that misogynoir somewhere else. It's tired.

Why are you defending that old bitch? She doesn't know you

And? Why do I need to know somebody to understand something's not right or nice?

You a bot?

Why would I be a bot?

Her music trash anyway

Aye some of those tracks were kinda sus

Cause since when does she write love songs

Half the shit is like that

Y'all it's 3 out of like 15 RELAX

But three outta fifteen 👀

Lol.

She a homewrecker

They didn't have a home to wreck. Antony and Octavia (same person)

Look at captain save a thot

Wow, really?

BREAKING: Mark Antony announces marriage to rising (and controversial) political star, Octavia Minor

" . . . Minor is known for her radical approach to, particularly, economic policy, drawing the ire of conservatives and liberals alike as they levy Red Scare-reminiscent critiques at her, but a bit of a hero among younger and leftist/left-leaning admirers.

"The couple were wed yesterday in a small, private ceremony at home among friends and family. Minor's younger brother, Gaius Octavius, is also an actor, working under the mononym 'August.'

"The match is certainly a surprise; the couple, as of writing, is not known to have interacted before this marriage and its announcement. The closest contact our fact-checkers have seen from Antony and Minor was from a fundraising banquet two years ago. There was a table between the newlyweds and August sat uneasily near Antony as members of the Tripart, a trio of creatives whose third leg is Marcus Lepidus, an elusive graphic designer and singer."

[netizen-chorus]

A: CLEARED

B: No because what kind of man wants that kind of situation?

A: Lots of them. Still cleared.

C: It's really their business

B: But now it's our business because she's talking about it in public.

D: Because she was asked about it. Actually, they're making fun of her

A: And she didn't let them

E: She's kind of aggressive

D: Aggressive????

E: Like she's on their show, talking to them any kind of way about something so weird

A: Lol.

D: Love the casual racism, sexism, and queerphobia all at once. You're doing so good

C: They really don’t have to talk about things like this.

F: Some things should stay at home

A: El-Oh-El

Podcast Snippet: Cleopatra's appearance on Mic and Mikes

Full appearance: [URL]

Mike P: Now I hear . . . that you have . . . A special relationship with Mark Antony."

Cleopatra: Well, everyone knows that's my man who isn't really my man.

P: [dry laugh]

Mike F: And I hear, and we've talked about it on the show--

C: Oh, yes, I know. I'm y'all's favorite.

F: How do you mean?

C: Well, people send me your stuff all the time. They're always sending or tagging me in clips of y'all talking about me. I just never said anything.

P: Oh? Why not?

C: I didn't feel like I needed to. Or wanted to.

P: So why did you come here?

C: It seemed interesting. What were you going to say? I cut you off.

P: It's ok---

C: No. I just cut you off, I said. Go ahead?

[scoffing around the room]

P: Ok then. I hear there's something special about your relationship with Antony. Your sexual relationship? And--

F: We hear you peg him sometimes.

C: Yes. [pause] What's wrong with that?

P: Nothing! Nothing.

C: Nothing. Right. There's nothing wrong with it. [pause] We have fun. Maybe you would have more fun if you mind yours.

P: Okay . . .

C: No, really. What does it matter what two consenting adults do in their private time, in their private lives?

P: I just think it's a little weird for a man--

F: Certain men, they do things differently.

C: What does that mean?

P: Well [laughs nervously] . . . I just don't think a man like me, or like him, would enjoy . . . Looking weak like that. Especially not at that age--

C: Queer men who receive exist. Straight or maybe cishet men who receive exist. You're saying because he's white and old he's too weak because he receives from a woman, a dark skin Black woman? Like I'm dominating him?

P: Well, I didn't say all that--

C: But you implied. You did.

F: Uh-oh, she's reading you.

C: No, it's not a read. We're not in community. You're not only using terms that don't belong to you--I'm just guessing; if I'm wrong, I apologize--but you're assuming a level of familiarity with me you simply do not have. You have no right to, honestly, gossip about my sexuality or his sexuality or how we practice our sexualities. Because that's what this is. Gossip. Except you were bold enough--or stupid enough; I can't tell. Bold enough to do it to my face. But then again, I appreciate you for doing it out in the open. Both of you. To an elder.

F: Now wait a minute.

C: Well? I'm just trying to clear up any confusion or concern.

P: I think it's a bit . . . A bit much.

C: You're entitled to thinking that way. I'm thinking about how now people are going to try to label me an angry old Black bitch and this, that, and the third, and talk about how I'm emasculating and blah-de-blah. And fine. It's been like that all my life. I have some money, I have some fame, so I'm not catching it as bad as some of my other siblings, but best believe that [__] gets to me. I see it. Y'all can't touch me, but it still hurts. But whatever. We move. Now. What's the next question?

[netizen-chorus]

A: Yo who is this Octavia Minor lady? Cause this economic policy is doing a LOT

B: I'm so tired of reformist politicians. Nothing to see here

A: No go look again. It is not reformist AT ALL

C: why am i lowkey excited for this

D: state policy table broke. She shook it too hard

A: Got em scrambling up there in D.C.

B: Oh shit.

A: That's what I'm saying!

E: here bc Ant liked your tweet OP

A: Is he getting into radical US economics now? Welcome, man /gen

[netizen-chorus]

Mark Antony said stick your culture industry. Real tears.

Remakes and reworks have been with us for as long as we've had movies. Since we've been telling stories when we first had language, we've been retelling the same stories. If the younger generation wants to go back to old tales and characters, they should go back. It's cheap but it's valid.

[netizen-chorus]

A: August's new movie role y'all

B: He's really picking up Antony's expired scraps.

A: Right. Cause Ant played this exact same character thirty-five years ago and thought we wouldn't notice. Down the same same haircut

C: Anto went platinum blonde. This is dirty.

A: Yes, good point. My sincerest apologies to that kid.

D: He's twenty-three

A: And Ant is 61 this year. There's really no comparison

B: But August is everywhere. He's like that one French dude who wasn't really French.

B: Pretty but no substance

A: PREEEETTTTY?

C: No he's attractive he's just . . . Extra lol

B: He wants to be up there so bad. I admire him for trying

E: They don't really compete, right? August just thinks he does?

A: Ok first of all his name is Octavian

D: Octavian I'm crying

C: Where did August come from?!

A: To represent hot and sexy summer or some shit idk

C: No that makes sense because of the Triforce thing they got going on with Lepidus aka Marcus

D: *Tripart and it makes sense. August as the young, passionate summer, Ant as refined and classy spring, Marcus as the brooding and dark fall/winter

B: Marcus still alive?

A: I'm pretty sure lmao I need that fine Scorpio energy back

E: He's just tired; give him some time

A: I can't believe you called Ant classy. He's all wrapped up on that Cleopatra girl shit's embarrassing.

B: He stole August's manufactured personality n that's why he's acting up

C: Marcus must be tired of playing middleman

F: Marcus doesn't care about anybody but Marcus. He doesn't even like going outside

A: Let that man be exhausted in peace

A: Na forreal August wylin

Image description: A still from the video for the title track of the album. Cleopatra holds her head in her hands as she mouths to the chorus, eyes obscured by the gauzy black fabric of a hooded top, her lips painted black.
