I honestly wish it was Kim Kardashian who died on Sunday instead of Bob Saget. I f***ing hate her and the fact that she is dating someone who is a decade younger than her. She might as well be a pedophile.
There are plenty of reasons to hate her (and any other celebrites who serve and obey the faceless queen: money). In comparison, the fact she is with a (almost) 30 years old man while she is about 40 is super weak ammo for a gun pointed at her.
Human brain development matures at age of about 25 years old. That is - there are no major changes undergoing in brain structures any-more - what is set in place, is as good as it gets. Being 28 years old (like the guy is) also means that a person have some decent level of experience and is no longer as naive. It would be a whole different story if he would be 18 and she about 30 - there's a way more disproportion in mental capacity, experience and financial status between such people. In my opinion, such relationships in most cases can be called "grooming" - older person takes advantage of younger partner, have control over them and bend them to their will.
But I do not believe that same is true when we talk about 28 years old and 41 years old people. The mental capacity is about the same, there's less gap in experience and in most cases, financial status of the older person is enough for them to not be manipulated with money. The last is especially true if we speak about a star of SNL, I bet he does make loads of money.
