"Momsen, clad in her opening outfit of a silk gown and her trademark raccoon-eyes makeup, opened the conference with a discussion of one of her native mediums, that being television. “Over the past decade reality TV has become entrenched in the world of television,” she said, “and I am not here today to deny it that place. As it has taken that place, however, it has assembled an arsenal of tropes and I am uncomfortable with what that arsenal resembles. Actions such as unrequited love, betrayals, and out of control benders have long been the domain of scripted television, and to see them absorbed by the not-quite-reality of reality television has been dishartening.” Momsen paused here for a moment, consulting her notes, before reading a list of producers one assumes she holds responsible for these developments, reading each name and then leaning into the microphone and loudly adding “SUCKS.” Creator of Real World and Road Rules Jonathan Murray was a particular target, appearing on the list multiple times and receiving more than one “SUCKS” after each instance."
