Breakup and Tune Up

car tune up[Lainey Gossip] She exited a long relationship not too long ago.

While they were together, they definitely partied, but he preferred a more chill vibe while she was getting too into the pills. Which is why he claims they ended it.

Turns out, around the time of her split, she went to rehab for a tune-up and is now sober and re-focusing on her work. Her work, recently, was rather high profile, a prestige assignment. But she was miserable in that environment, not only trying to avoid bad habits but, apparently, not getting along with her colleagues; supposedly they never wanted to hear her opinions.

Now that she’s clean, her perspective has changed too. So she’s going around telling people that the reason she’s not with him anymore is because he’s not stimulating enough intellectually even though she was so attracted to him. There were a lot of romantic gestures, like dedicating his art to her, but ultimately she’s revised their history to read that she left because she wants someone smarter.

    Don’t know who this is but yes, I have broken up with someone (1980) because they were just dumb as a box of rocks. Perfect looking, fantastic body, (model) but this guy was just not that smart. Everywhere we went he just kind of stood there and was stunning but I was mostly stunned by his lack of insight, into anything. I guess there were a few positives…he was very malleable and we did whatever I wanted and at that age I wanted a lot.

    No idea who it is, but I’ve broken up with someone for not being smart enough before. It just gets really exhausting having to explain everything you’re talking about all the time. I couldn’t even say “but he was a nice guy” because he wasn’t that either.

      After a while, it isn’t enough that they’re pretty. There has to be more.

    Seems like I should know this one, but I can’t think right now. Got the 3 day weekend brain currently! ?

    Yes, I have, but there were other things factored in. I have been with someone older and wiser for the past 15 years now, and it is so nice to have someone that is intelligent that you can discuss things with on an intellectual level.

    Prestige assignment was the opening of Au Fudge restaurant.

      I rather thought of Katy Perry and John Mayer. “dedicating his art to her”

    I have no idea who this is, but yes I have broken off relationships with people because they aren’t smart enough.

    There are enough idiots in the world and I treasure my education so I don’t need to associate with people who can’t carry on a civilized intelligent conversation.

    It’s like playing sports: you become better if you play with people who are better than you.

      Well, I’ve dated someone way too into weed and I think THAT is what made him stupid. Being with someone like that makes makes an energetic person feel impatient and slowness easily reads as dumb.

      LOL at the thought of anyone from that family wanting to be with someone smart. (How would she even know?)

      Best laugh I’ve had in weeks.

      Makes sense; she was just on the Cannes jury (prestige position), where “opinions” are what determine awards. And the party scene during Cannes is legendary, so avoiding temptation could be an issue.
