Man that girl has been through a lot I feel like. She's such a different personality too. Hope she's okay.

Geez.. I swear to god if my obituary opens with Wife's Name's husband, I'd be pretty bummed.
Suicide, also. Dang.
Marrying my wife was the best decision I ever made. I would be happy if people continue to associate me with her in any context after my death regardless if I survive her or not.
In the end, am I gonna care?
If I were married to Plaza I'd want it mentioned every time.
Why? I'm my wife's husband as much as I am anything else, and plenty of people refer to folks as "John's friend" or "Erin's husband" to identify them in context.
Also, would you have known who this was if they didn't? Some would for sure, but a lot of people who care about his films still might not have put the pieces together without Aubrey Plaza's name in there, so I don't see the issue.
I don’t disagree with it being there but it wouldn’t feel great to be the leading description. "Director, filmmaker, and husband of" would emphasize his accomplishments.
Meow that I think about it, Idk why we're debating a TMZ headline. Sorry and good day.
Fair enough, but that's such a minor difference that I can't imagine caring about it if I, personally, were the subject. I am definitely not calling any/everyone who feels differently ego-centric, but ego is the only reason I specifically could imagine being offended by that. Not looking to start a debate over TMZ at all haha, was just wondering if there were particular issues folks had with it that I wasn't thinking of.
Well meow I want this autocorrect on my phone too!
im also going to go put that into my auto correct right meow
Also, would you have known who this was if they didn’t?
I didn't know he was married to Aubry, so while she is better known it did not provide enough information to be put first.
"Director Jeff Baena, Aubrey Plaza's Husband, Dead at 47" is the exact same words in an order that is better at putting the subject of the article first.

I stated how I'd feel about it. I didn't say you should feel that way. I guess I'm fucking wrong though, forgot I was on the internet for a moment.
I was curious why you felt that way, not saying you were wrong. It was an interesting reaction to the headline, so I was looking to discuss/understand it, not debate.

Uhhh I’m not sure if you’ve heard about how women have it but it’s almost always like that for women
well then, I entirely retract my statement. thank you for setting me straight.
Lol don't be bummed your death won't be on the news at all.
That's the spirit 😂 go go green Mario ranger!
Would be pretty easy, just do something spectacular. Or horrible. Please don't drive a car into a bunch of people.
Unless that bunch of people are exclusively billionaires
Your feelings are valid but the opposite view is also perfectly reasonable.
I would be proud of my wife for being so successful (or, I would have been while I was still alive).
There’s no shame in being in your partner’s shadow. It should be a source of pride and enjoyment instead.
To take an extreme example, look at Dolly Parton and her completely not-a-celebrity husband. Do you think that Dolly Parton’s husband is embarrassed that he isn’t famous or that he’s just thrilled to be married to Dolly Parton?
This is literally the first I've ever considered that fact that Dolly Parton might have a husband. She's such an icon that she practically transcends such mortal trivialities.
Apparently he owned a paving company and has never, ever wanted to be even remotely famous. IIRC, she said he really did eye a pretty redhead at the bank when they were first married, but it was a nothingburger, and she had to make up the name and mine her own psyche pretty deep to come up with the insecurity of the speaker in Jolene.
If he hadn't been married to her, this article wouldn't even behave been written.

Just means your wife's more famous than you. Be proud of her.
allright dude. when I kill myself and my obituary says "actually noteworthy person's relation, (me)" I'll whisper how proud of them I am as I fade into the afterlife
Nah you won't give a fuck either way because you'd be dead.

yeah they were together for a good while also. its just awful.
Why? Most people know who Aubrey Plaza is. Most people don’t know him. It helps anchor the headline with who it is.
I BARELY know who Aubrey Plaza is, I guarantee I wouldn't have known her husband just by his name alone.
I think its fair. Sometimes I go months referring to her as my wife because it's weird to refer to her by name with those who don't known her.
Can’t wait for my Oprah’s dog walker’s cousin found drunk article.
I knew Aubrey was married, but I couldn’t name her husband if my life depended on it. I’m sorry he was in so much pain, and I hope Aubrey is okay.
Well that’s fucking terrible
That's awful. I hope she recovers as best she can. Nothing I'd want a person to go through.
RIP. Depression takes the best people from us. I wish his friends and family peace and hope that they can grieve him.
Just came here to say The Little Hours is fantastic
what did you like about it? i was just considering watching it
