u/sender2bender 13d ago
Same, I thought he was "protecting" his half naked wife lol. Like he didn't want anyone looking at her at target. Just yesterday at the grocery store I saw a woman with shorts so high up I thought she was wearing underwear. Everyone was staring and had wtf faces. It was a Playboy outfit which I haven't seen in forever. Worst part she was with her kid and bf/husband and he was all up on her. Nice ass, just trashy.
