Would you feel guilty if you shoplifted from corporate America? In Winona Ryder’s first interview on that fateful day in 2001 at the Saks Fifth Avenue in Beverly Hills, she says that she really didn’t.
I didn’t have this tremendous sense of guilt, because I hadn’t hurt anyone. Had I physically harmed someone or caused harm to a human being, I think it would have been an entirely different experience.”
Well, she didn’t kill someone, but stealing technically does cause harm someone who’s trying to run a business.
But the million-dollar question after all of these years is why a famous, wealthy woman would actually steal. She blames it on painkillers that she got from a “quack” doctor.
Two months prior to that, I broke my arm in two places, and the doctor, a sort of quack doctor, was giving me a lot of stuff and I was taking it at first to get through the pain. And then there was this weird point when you don’t know if you are in pain but you’re taking it.”
The painkillers left her in a state of “confusion” But the arrest was a blessing in disguise because she never touched those pills again. She moved to San Francisco to be close to her parents and kept a low profile until now. She’s apparently gearing up for her three movie releases this year: Ten, Sex and Death 101, and The Last Word.
Well, I welcome back Winona. She’s done the classy thing and stayed on the down-low for years. Imagine that in the young Hollywood world we live in. You’ve got to admire that.

Would you feel guilty if you shoplifted from corporate America?
You mean Suks? No, cause I would feel guilty just shopping there.
They’re greedy exploiters who purchase stuff from sweatshops and then sell items a thousand times their value to make sure only extremely wealthy people can purchase them.
If I understand the wonders of that super-mega-judicial masterpiece, there’s no difference between spacing out and stealing with a clear intent, especially when one’s credit card is at the desk? Bang! Double felon, one toe away from jail. Ouch.
Ryder case top priority over a double murder case? Uh? Did we miss anything or do we already live in braindead land, in some Orwellian subdimension?
I feel so sorry for Suks, the poor little darlings. I wonder what could have been the cost if they had simply asked Ryder to use a card which they indeed had instead of calling the cops, the tabloids and then go on a campaign of “get it from Saks” with hired models.
Hey, good news by the way, Suks Filth Avenue are going to get themselves a ZIP code with our taxpayer’s money. Isn’t that supercool? Call it thievery? Nope sir, it’s legal. Good, good, me glad, me happy, me law-abiding idiot is very content. As long as it is legal, I don’t mind being buggered real hard. I’m gonna stuff myself with some Jay Leno tapes.
Anyways, I’m also happy that Kenneth Lay died in his bed, corporate America had a sweet legal break. I wonder if OJ Simpson will have the grace to stop playing golf with his Hollywood and Corporate buddies too.
The sheer idiocy of citizens who accept being ripped off, brutalized, ruined by unscrupulous companies but cannot get beyond Ryder’s screwing up after 5 years really knocks me down, real heavy feathers !!!
