Is this DJ? The dog has the accreditation badge. Such a star.

That's Henry, Madison Chock's dog. I guess Charlie needed a puppy fix.

I wasn't really sure. He looks smaller than DJ but I don't see him to be looking too poodly here.

Since a few people were asking about it, here is the same old same old story about their comeback that aired during the SD.

The Moms are in KC and sat near me tonight. Very lovely ladies and very popular

Meryl and Ryan Bradley did a short Facebook live for IceNetwork last night - they were pretty funny!

Charlie's getting increasingly political on social media (in an utterly polite Charlie-like way).

It's both surprising and delightful to me given how aggressively bland D/W have always been in interviews.

The After Dark Segment with Ryan and Meryl included Ashley tonight. I hope they continue this because it amused me, but it's after dark where's the wine? Especially after the craziness in ALL the events today. https://www.facebook.com/pg/usfigureskating/videos/?ref=page_internal

What's Charlie's snapchat username?

What's Charlie's snapchat username?

I don't think he has one. Meryl does and it is mavis.

 

[DreamsofBliss]

What's Charlie's snapchat username?

He uses instagram stories.

Here is a Q&A session with D/W from a few minutes ago while they are promoting the Disson Skate/Gym show.

BTW, if you want proof D/W aren't returning, this is it.

 

[Barbara Manatee]

I think so too.

I shouldn't be surprised that Meryl would decide that she has had enough at the same time. Hashtag AlwaysOnTheSamePage.

He didn't mince words about Ashley either. I hope there is a good supply of this truth serum somewhere.
Someone please have them write that book while they are on a roll (complete with Igor/Marina Canton deets)

Meryl owning a misogynist twit in the comments is making me uber her.

I'm LOVING Charlie's political tweets. He's probably the most polite person on Twitter when it comes to politics, but he's unapologetic about what he has to say. It's great.

I don't see Meryl's comment, though! What happened? ETA: Nvm, I see it now. Meryl is awesome!

What did he say about Ashley? I seem to have missed something.

Here's the clip from the Ice Desk - basically she should skate more and pose less.

 

[justtojoke]

I love Charlie White. His discussion on twitter has given me so much hope, not to mention the newfound respect I have for him.

Charlie will most likely go onto law school and then move onto politics after that. His mom once indicated that to me several years ago. Run Charlie, Run!

 

[semogal]

Well if he wants to go to law school, he better get around to finishing his bachelor's degree! If he really wants to go into politics, a law degree is no longer necessary or even valued! I too am enjoying his tweets. Also a big fan of his commentary on IN. Our boy is all grown up!

Yes, a law degree is losing its appeal these days. Even Obama thought law school should be two years but I don't think that idea is taking off.

There were funny moments in that Q&A. Haven't seen a good interview in a while. I miss those days. The funniest part of the facebook Q&A was the interviewer asking if Marina and Oleg were mom and dad.

 

[flippedstargirl]

I applaud Charlie and Meryl for what they are saying on social media. It just makes me respect them even more.

Same. Woke Charlie is bae.

 

[VGThuy]

I'm so proud of Charlie for speaking out. He didn't have to do it, but I am so glad he did. Total respect from me.

 

[ballettmaus]

He just tweeted why https://twitter.com/CharlieaWhite/status/825155247513468929

 

[Lara]

A lot of respect from me too.

It ticks me off to have to say this, but I'm glad he's being the more outspoken of the two. Meryl would be a greater target from the alt-right with the same tweets.

 

[literaryfreak]

I'm incredibly proud of Charlie right now. Especially starting around the end of Nationals when even more people are likely checking his twitter. I remember being disappointed in D/W's responses to reporters' questions about anti-gay laws at the Sochi Olympics, although I reluctantly understood. Charlie's even changed the first sentence of his twitter profile description to "Please join me for an important conversation or two," before the fact that he's an Olympian.

 

[lmarie086]

I have so much respect for him. Meryl and Charlie were certainly the masters of the generalized, canned responses while they were competing, and while I expected them to become a little more outspoken (but really, only a little more) I did not expect this! I love it.
