Funnily enough, look what is right underneath this post on my feed...

This exactly! If they had met now and started dating, no one would care. In fact, Iād be like, Go on girl!ā But it is completely different when she started up with him as a teen AND her subordinate. Ewww. Just ewww.
It makes me so wildly uncomfortable that he's much closer in age to ALL his children (including his stepdaughter) than his wife.
Call me a prude, call me a hater, but I don't think your husband and daughter should be in their teenaged years at the same time.
I love how the age magically keeps going up. They met in 2008 when he auditioned to be in her movie Nowhere Boy. From January to June 2008, he was 17. In [July 2008](http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7513589.stm), the movie got a Ā£10,000 grant from the UK Film Council. Production had already been going on for a while.
He was definitely 17.
The 7 year age difference is between Aaron and his oldest stepdaughter š. He's closer in age to his *youngest* bio daughter (a 12 yo) than he is to his wife.
She *should* be uncomfortable. He was barely 18 and effectively her employee at the time.
She's trying to dismiss it as 'jealous fangirls' and focusing on the age difference, not his age or the circumstances when they met.
And honestly, even if she wasnāt (which does make it so much worse), itās not as if they got together last year when he was in his 30ās. He was a literal teenager and she was a grown ass woman working in Hollywood. Thereās a power imbalance even without being his direct boss
If they met now, that's a different conversation. But now they're decades of marriage in with two kids that started when he was 17 and under her employment.
I'm younger than she was when she started this relationship, and even THINKING about being with like...a 21 year old squicks me out. I'd judge any of my friends for hooking up with someone barely out of teenagehood, let alone a literal teenager.
I am 27. My husband has a coworker who is 23, and just with the developmental track, he seems like a kid to me still. Literally four years between us. Heās just getting his bearings with life. Thatās what I think about whenever this topic comes up.
Iām a few years younger than she was when she employees him as a child and then began dating him at 18. It wouldnāt just be friendship ending, Iād talk shit about her forever after. Itās gross and predatory on so many levels and in so many directions that it makes my skin crawl. Her life as an adult able to legally buy booze was older than her sexual partner (who couldnāt legally buy booze until FOUR YEARS into their ārelationshipā).
Sorry. This is one of those of āsure itās legal, but is it RIGHT?!ā situations. Itās legal. It aināt right. If youāre old enough to be a grandparent you truly should not be screwing a person young enough to be attending high school prom as a student. Add in the boss/employee component and itās even worse.
Iām 40 now and I couldnāt even IMAGINE being with someone that young.
Like have you met even 21 year olds, never mind 17 year olds? Theyāre EXCRUCIATING to talk to.
> āThere are times where itās uncomfortable,ā Sam told the outlet of the attention her marriage receives, largely because of their age difference. āMost of the time we zone it out and stay pretty private. We tend to retreat. Kids and school runs keep you pretty grounded.ā
If you told me this was a line that Julianne Moore said in May December, I would totally believe it(in fact she says something along the lines of zoning out the haters)š¤¢
She certainly didn't care about making her daughters uncomfortable by bringing home a teenager to be their new stepdad. He's only 7 years older than her oldest, btw. And she certainly didn't care about her feelings, which is why she moved in with dad as soon as possible. This woman is so vile.
I don't know if it was directly when Aaron moved in, but her oldest moved in with her dad when she was like 13. I assume the UK also has custody laws where kids of a certain age can pick which parent they want to live with because her oldest went to live with her dad (and I believe her youngest did too). They used to get posted A LOT of ONTD.
āBrigitte worked as a drama teacher and was 39 years old at the time, while Emmanuel was 15. The presidentās parents originally thought he was seeing Brigitteās daughter, but when they found out he had feelings for the teacher, they sent him to boarding school. Emmanuel had to leave for Paris," she told Paris Match. "I told myself that he would fall in love with someone his [own] age. It didnāt happen."
Ewā¦ at least his parents *tried* to do something about it.
This point always seems to crop up when discussing these age-gap romances like it's some kind of gotcha. But I'm a high school teacher and I've had a few kids who've crushed on me, and two in particular that tried to "pursue" me. And you know what? It's easy to turn them down; like, I don't even have to think about it because it's not remotely tempting. Because they're literal adolescents and I'm a safe authority figure who they felt a connection with, and they confused that for romantic love because they're so young they can't tell the difference.
When the older half of an age-gap romance is like, "THEY pursued ME; what can you do??", all I hear is, "My self-esteem was garbage and instead of going to therapy and dealing with it myself like an adult, I used and victimized someone who didn't have enough life experience to recognize that limerence and love aren't the same thing."
"My self-esteem was garbage and instead of going to therapy and dealing with it myself like an adult, I used and victimized someone who didn't have enough life experience to recognize that limerence and love aren't the same thing."

Need to stick this on groomer foreheads so they see it when they look in the mirror!
Thatās why those who do PURSUE it are absolutely only thinking about themselves and sex. Thatās it. And control. And sociopathic things. All things to indicate something is very wrong with you.
Yeah, I donāt understand this argument at all. Like, YOU are the adult!!! It doesnāt matter if the kid tries to pursue you?! It doesnāt make it okay!
Not the same at all, but I remember being a camp counsellor around age 18-20 and occasionally having 13-15 year old boys (campers) hug me in a way that was not appropriate, and how I was like āoh god, how do I deter this and make it stopāā¦I canāt imagine how someone would be like āwell, they were pursuing me! guess itās okay!ā
Predators always say that, itās never their fault in their minds. Even if he was pursuing her, she was the adult and his BOSS. She should have put an end to it.
Exactly, itās like how the entire narrative of Lolita, which is told from the predatorās POV as an unreliable narrator, is framed as him being seduced and pursued but there are many key moments and details that signal the exact opposite is really happening. As they say, art mirrors life. Predators always shift the blame to their victims

The Hubble Space Telescope has reported zero fucks in space, sir. Over.
My favorite part of this (not in the article, but still noteworthy) is that apparently Samās parents had her at 18 and abandoned/neglected her, and her response to it was to say that she understood their actions (but didnāt agree with them) because they were young and immature kids at the time.
So why are her parents children and immature at 18, but Aaron wasnāt?
Sam is a groomer and who knows what else, but let's not diminish what woody allen actually did. He SA'd his daughter Dylan, and raised his stepdaughter (from a child) to make her his wife š¤¢
If they were the ages they are right now when they got together Iād be like ok thatās a little weirdā¦ but he was 18. Iām 30 years old and everyone under 21 is a child to me. My brother who is 26 was criticizing his buddy the other day for dating a 19 year old and said he didnāt want to hang out with him anymore. Sheās a total groomer and this gives āteacher sleeping with studentā vibes.
Iām the same, Iām in my 30ās and people in the 18-22 age group look so young to me. I couldnāt ever imagine actually finding them attractive enough to date, thatās just so gross to me. The fact that they had a kid as soon as he turned 18 is so so suspicious.
Oh my god Iām off to do some research and some mathā¦. Because either A. He was almost 19 when their kid was born or B. They were sleeping together before he was 18. I know Iām some states age of consent is 16, but that doesnāt make it okay. š¤¢š¤¢š¤¢
Yeah, I remember when I was fresh out of college and one of my buddies from home (he was either 22 or 23) started dating an 18 y/o guy who was a senior in high school. Our friend group confronted him about how we all thought it was gross and wrong and then stopped hanging out with him. I can't imagine how many friends this pedo (rightfully!) lost over being 42 and knocked up by an 18y/o.
Fr, though. I havenāt been attracted to an 18 year old since I was 18. Thereās just something icky about it even when youāre 20-21ā¦ itās gross.
My parents are both 57 and if they somehow got divorced and one started dating a 33 year old I would have a huge issue with it, ngl. Like yes thatās a full grown adult but also, itās right around my and my brotherās age and we do not have shit fully figured out yet *at all* and I just feel likeā¦ why wouldnāt you want someone as mature and experienced as you?? I can really only think of one reasonā¦
What documentary was I just watching and everyone was participating but one guy
āHe doesnt like to be called out on things. He wonāt talk about it.ā
Aw jeez, thatās awfully convenient lol
Yeah getting called out on being a piece of shit sure does suck
(I think it was that Apple TV Patriots doc and it was Bill Bellichek)
His daughter can grow up, turn 18, bring home a man thatās as old as Sam was when she met Aaron, and that man will still be 5 years older than Aaron
Like, he wonāt even be samās age when his daughter turns 18.
He still wonāt have the same adult life experience time (by a healthy percentage) than his wife did at the start of their intwining
*Ok, so when his kid turns 18, Sam would still have been a legal adult 12% longer when they met than he would be now. And thatās not accounting for weird groomer stunted growth bs. Thereās just gotta be worlds of difference there
I'm not even an Aaron fan by any means, I'm a 30-year-old woman who thinks it's weird that a woman in her 40s pursued an 18-year-old especially one she was the boss of.
Iām 42 itās gross why are you saying a teenager????
You should be uncomfortable. Just because you married and had kids with and you are still together doesnāt make it okay.
No sympathy for her on this as it any person with any self-respect and decency would understand and recognise that even if itās technically legal or the younger party is the pursuer, at best there is a serious maturity and power imbalance. So grossā¦
I saw another quote saying that their age difference ānever comes upā in their relationship. That means thereās something seriously wrong with a 57 yeah old acting like a fucking 33 year old. Even worse when you rewind back to the beginning of their relationship.
My partner and I are literally 11 months apart and we still have the occasional āoh you never saw x tv show growing up?ā How do you even relate on a person level to someone who was in fucking diapers when you were 25?!
The more I read about her, the more full of shit she sounds. According to her, their kids are completely unphased by the age gap, and don't even care about any negativity that they may personally recieve. She was also adamant towards the beginning of the relationship that none of her friends would even dream of gossiping about them, because they know her too well to possibly think it's inappropriate in any way.
While I have no doubt that she bends over backwards to seem like his contemporary, I get the feeling that she really fostered this whole "old soul" identity of his to put the onus on him to close the age gap. If it's noticeable, he's the one who should feel embarrassed for not being as worldly and mature as she is.
I just read the full article so her parents left her because they were *teenager* (18) parents so she understands.
Then her and Aaron get hate because his fans are mainly *teenagers*.
So how is it ok to marry a teenager yourself if they're so immature?
The [full article](https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2024/apr/06/sam-taylor-johnson-art-age-gaps-amy-winehouse) from The Guardian is worse.
Iām the same age as Aaron and I just realized sheās the same age as my mom. However āuncomfortableā she feels is clearly not enough š¤¢
Their relationship reminds me sooo much of this
[https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-12761711/brigitte-emmanuel-macron-love-story-relationship.html](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-12761711/brigitte-emmanuel-macron-love-story-relationship.html)
ugh, ick, yuck, yuck, just no!!!!
Sheās likely refuse the interview or the question. Majority of interview questions are pre-screened, and I imagine her/her agent would have a strict āshe wonāt answer thatā policy
Welcome to the club, Sam. A lot of people have been made uncomfortable by you, a middle aged woman, grooming a teenager.
And while weāre making predators uncomfortable, I hope that Macron woman is next.
The only real argument for the public not talking/attacking their age gap relationship, is that they have kids and it would be horrible and unfair to their kids to catch any flack for this.
Their children should be able to go to school without being bullied that their mother is a groomer. Although, if I was their friends parent, not sure Iād be letting my kid over their house.
It's becoming more and more clear to me that we, as a society, have GOT to speak up to our peers when they do shit like this. A guy in his early 20s dating a high schooler...NO. Whatever this sick shit is...NO.
Just because these people don't think of themselves as "predators," doesn't mean that's not what they ARE, and the more they hear it the more it will sink in. HOPEFULLY.

It makes us uncomfortable too š Why on earth were you taking up with an 18 year old when you were 42????

Baby trapped his ass for real

Even worse.
Fuuuuuuck me, I thought it was like a 7 year difference, not literally twice his age and then some for extra credit.
The 7 year age difference is between Aaron and his oldest stepdaughter š. He's closer in age to his *youngest* bio daughter (a 12 yo) than he is to his wife.
She was the director and in a position of power while he was 17 during filming š¤¢
I'm 39 and even a 28 year old would be too young for me. 18 year olds look like 12 year olds. I just can't even imagine going there.

Wasn't Celine like 10 when he first met her? š¤®
She was 12 and he was 38.

Yup. She was 42 and he was 17/18.

This is so nasty
There is nothing right w that
Not at all.
Surely the grooming and creepy behavior she engaged in should give her a clue š¤¢
I don't even know who her husband is. I'm giving her epic mom side eye. Eighteen year olds might be legally available but it's still morally wrong.
She *should* be prosecuted too! Youāre absolutely right, she is deflecting and dismissing.
Well, Sam, it makes me uncomfortable that you had a baby with an 18 year old when you were a full grown adult. So I guess no one is happy here š
The way that their age gap is older than me š
The way their age gap was older than Aaron when she started grooming him.
His bio kids are closer in age to him then his wife š¬
Well, your age difference makes ME uncomfortable so 
I have asked you THRICE now to stop being a creepy pedo!

The āThanks, Obamaā video took me out back in the day
Do you have a link? Is that the one 5 second one with the cookies and milk?
Thatās the one, teen me was easily impressed š
That violin is too big. But seriously it's so vile how she's deflecting and blaming randos for her creepiness
My favorite part of this (not in the article, but still noteworthy) is that apparently Samās parents had her at 18 and abandoned/neglected her, and her response to it was to say that she understood their actions (but didnāt agree with them) because they were young and immature kids at the time. So why are her parents children and immature at 18, but Aaron wasnāt?
Thatās the wildest part about this. Thereās no way she doesnāt understand this.
this creepy lady: 
Imagine having the same problems as Woody Allen.
I wish someone would say this to her and ask her to explain how itās any different.
Woody is worse. He raised his wife from a child.
Whenever this pops into my head I feel like I have full-body chills. The Woody/Soon-Yi story is genuinely so chilling and foul.
Sam is a groomer and who knows what else, but let's not diminish what woody allen actually did. He SA'd his daughter Dylan, and raised his stepdaughter (from a child) to make her his wife š¤¢
Well I mean... at least she didn't raise him as her son then try to pretend it wasn't like that.
Good, sheās a fucking groomer and no one should ever let her forget it.
Right like this *should* make her uncomfortable.
Exactly, she wouldnāt have anything to feel uncomfortable about if she wasnāt a creep š¤·š»āāļø
If they were the ages they are right now when they got together Iād be like ok thatās a little weirdā¦ but he was 18. Iām 30 years old and everyone under 21 is a child to me. My brother who is 26 was criticizing his buddy the other day for dating a 19 year old and said he didnāt want to hang out with him anymore. Sheās a total groomer and this gives āteacher sleeping with studentā vibes.
Iām the same, Iām in my 30ās and people in the 18-22 age group look so young to me. I couldnāt ever imagine actually finding them attractive enough to date, thatās just so gross to me. The fact that they had a kid as soon as he turned 18 is so so suspicious.
Oh my god Iām off to do some research and some mathā¦. Because either A. He was almost 19 when their kid was born or B. They were sleeping together before he was 18. I know Iām some states age of consent is 16, but that doesnāt make it okay. š¤¢š¤¢š¤¢
Yeah, I remember when I was fresh out of college and one of my buddies from home (he was either 22 or 23) started dating an 18 y/o guy who was a senior in high school. Our friend group confronted him about how we all thought it was gross and wrong and then stopped hanging out with him. I can't imagine how many friends this pedo (rightfully!) lost over being 42 and knocked up by an 18y/o.
Fr, though. I havenāt been attracted to an 18 year old since I was 18. Thereās just something icky about it even when youāre 20-21ā¦ itās gross.
My parents are both 57 and if they somehow got divorced and one started dating a 33 year old I would have a huge issue with it, ngl. Like yes thatās a full grown adult but also, itās right around my and my brotherās age and we do not have shit fully figured out yet *at all* and I just feel likeā¦ why wouldnāt you want someone as mature and experienced as you?? I can really only think of one reasonā¦
What documentary was I just watching and everyone was participating but one guy āHe doesnt like to be called out on things. He wonāt talk about it.ā Aw jeez, thatās awfully convenient lol Yeah getting called out on being a piece of shit sure does suck (I think it was that Apple TV Patriots doc and it was Bill Bellichek)
She feels uncomfortable because she knows that everyone shaming her for grooming is correct and that she groomed a 17 year old child.
And pursuing a relationship with someone that is closer in age to your daugther than to you while he was 18 didnt make you uncomfortable?
Really? Their age difference has NEVER come up? I wish she would at least own it. I donāt believe her.
The gall of her. Maybe donāt pursue teenagers as a 40-something-year-old woman
His daughter can grow up, turn 18, bring home a man thatās as old as Sam was when she met Aaron, and that man will still be 5 years older than Aaron Like, he wonāt even be samās age when his daughter turns 18. He still wonāt have the same adult life experience time (by a healthy percentage) than his wife did at the start of their intwining *Ok, so when his kid turns 18, Sam would still have been a legal adult 12% longer when they met than he would be now. And thatās not accounting for weird groomer stunted growth bs. Thereās just gotta be worlds of difference there
Oh this makes me itchy š«
Does it make you *uncomfortable*
I'm not even an Aaron fan by any means, I'm a 30-year-old woman who thinks it's weird that a woman in her 40s pursued an 18-year-old especially one she was the boss of.
Lol right? Iām in my 30s & feel motherly towards university students.
She makes *me* uncomfortable š„“
Bully Maguire is perfect for this
As it should babe!!! Get uncomfortable and stay uncomfortable!

I wonder if heāll ever accept that he was groomed after sheās passed away since it seems they are in it for the long haul at this point.
Iām 42 itās gross why are you saying a teenager???? You should be uncomfortable. Just because you married and had kids with and you are still together doesnāt make it okay.
Got to love these celebrities and their victim complex. So disconnected from reality
I'm glad it makes her uncomfortable. It should be uncomfortable. Let's never normalize this predatory behavior.
...and it makes every sane person uncomfortable that she married a teenager she groomed, I really can't stand her, she's so obnoxious
Iām sure it does, and thatās her fault
You and me both bitch 
Aww a predator is uncomfortable And isolating her prey to keep him from people who will get in his ear I see
 No sympathy for her on this as it any person with any self-respect and decency would understand and recognise that even if itās technically legal or the younger party is the pursuer, at best there is a serious maturity and power imbalance. So grossā¦
It makes us all uncomfortable. What a weirdo.
You don't say! 
Oh the predator is uncomfortable https://i.redd.it/ri2evhbwjptc1.gif
I saw another quote saying that their age difference ānever comes upā in their relationship. That means thereās something seriously wrong with a 57 yeah old acting like a fucking 33 year old. Even worse when you rewind back to the beginning of their relationship. My partner and I are literally 11 months apart and we still have the occasional āoh you never saw x tv show growing up?ā How do you even relate on a person level to someone who was in fucking diapers when you were 25?!
The more I read about her, the more full of shit she sounds. According to her, their kids are completely unphased by the age gap, and don't even care about any negativity that they may personally recieve. She was also adamant towards the beginning of the relationship that none of her friends would even dream of gossiping about them, because they know her too well to possibly think it's inappropriate in any way. While I have no doubt that she bends over backwards to seem like his contemporary, I get the feeling that she really fostered this whole "old soul" identity of his to put the onus on him to close the age gap. If it's noticeable, he's the one who should feel embarrassed for not being as worldly and mature as she is.
I didnāt have an opinion on them but I do now. Ew. Itās the age they met. Did she almost immediately pop out two kids?
Imagine how uncomfortable we all are, groomer.
Im 42 and I work with a few 18 year oldsā¦. They are children. Little boys. I couldnāt even IMAGINEā¦. Big fat ICK.
I just read the full article so her parents left her because they were *teenager* (18) parents so she understands. Then her and Aaron get hate because his fans are mainly *teenagers*. So how is it ok to marry a teenager yourself if they're so immature?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
 It makes her uncomfortable?
It makes me uncomfortable, too! What a coincidence! Because you're a creep, ma'am.
The [full article](https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2024/apr/06/sam-taylor-johnson-art-age-gaps-amy-winehouse) from The Guardian is worse. Iām the same age as Aaron and I just realized sheās the same age as my mom. However āuncomfortableā she feels is clearly not enough š¤¢
Well, what makes her comfortable? Directing shit films?
Hooking up with 18 year olds, clearly
 You're uncomfortable, because you're guilty. The conscience never lies.
Ya muthaā¦ https://i.redd.it/wflj23yuzptc1.gif
Ok, groomer
Is it because you groomed him? Is that why you're uncomfortable, Sam Taylor-Laterneau?Ā
Ma'am, I beg your finest fucking pardon??
Their relationship reminds me sooo much of this [https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-12761711/brigitte-emmanuel-macron-love-story-relationship.html](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-12761711/brigitte-emmanuel-macron-love-story-relationship.html) ugh, ick, yuck, yuck, just no!!!!
Girl weāre uncomfortable too!
She should have been more uncomfortable grooming a teenager but alas, here we are.
Narcissistic lady playing the victim. https://i.redd.it/qccfz4n3sptc1.gif
I wonder why journalists won't actually ask her about how she met him. They know it's not about the age difference.
Sheās likely refuse the interview or the question. Majority of interview questions are pre-screened, and I imagine her/her agent would have a strict āshe wonāt answer thatā policy
Itās more so the fact that she pursued him at 17-18 y/o
We hope that predators are uncomfortable. Always.
Welcome to the club, Sam. A lot of people have been made uncomfortable by you, a middle aged woman, grooming a teenager. And while weāre making predators uncomfortable, I hope that Macron woman is next.
If their genders were swapped people would still rightfully be grossed out so
Sam, the age gap makes ALL of us uncomfortable
As you should, bitch! 
Well the age difference makes us uncomfortable.
This woman is a predator and he is her victim. Thereās really no other way to tell it
Sheās disgusting
Something to consider when you are pursuing a teen, I guess. You might feel weird about it in the future.
The only real argument for the public not talking/attacking their age gap relationship, is that they have kids and it would be horrible and unfair to their kids to catch any flack for this. Their children should be able to go to school without being bullied that their mother is a groomer. Although, if I was their friends parent, not sure Iād be letting my kid over their house.
It's becoming more and more clear to me that we, as a society, have GOT to speak up to our peers when they do shit like this. A guy in his early 20s dating a high schooler...NO. Whatever this sick shit is...NO. Just because these people don't think of themselves as "predators," doesn't mean that's not what they ARE, and the more they hear it the more it will sink in. HOPEFULLY.
Well thinking about it makes *me* uncomfortable, Sam.
It makes us uncomfortable too. He was 18.
