Christopher Plummer is only one old man, guys, slow up a little bit.I'm hoping that Christopher Plummer ends up being the greatest monster of all.

According to the article, Louis reached out to two of the victims and apologized for his actions. (many years after the incidents).
Was it because of guilt? Or because he finally had a career worth protecting? Hard to say, but I find it interesting that most of these incidents happened in the window of time where his career was at a low point and his marriage was falling apart.
I'm not really ready to bury this guy and lump him in with the Wiensteins of the world. Unless more people come out and say he's been doing this his whole adult life.
why do they draw the eyes so small

Really, what’s the acceptable way to masturbate in front of a woman and not have it be misconduct? Does there need to be a countersigned contract? Do lawyers need to be involved? An Outlook invite?A "yes"? :badass
Really, if asking to masturbate in front of someone is “sexual misconduct,” about 3/4ths of the regulars here could accurately accuse me of it. That headline is libelous.
I wonder if this issue isn't so much that he has his kink but that even after they declined watching him bust a nut HE FUCKING DID IT ANYWAY.

Tig Notaro said there was an "incident" a couple years ago which would keep him from ever working with her in the future. The NYT story doesn't even mention Jen Kirkman. People in comedy have been tweeting about how widespread his reputation was (including a guy who said he heard about it at Second City in 2014-15).

The funny thing about this is that I like Tig better than Louis, so my natural inclination would be to take her side, but this seems to be a nothingburger so far. I like Louis as a standup, but not Louis the auteur. I find his show really hit and miss and up its own butt sometimes.

Are you seriously going to bat for someone that has a kink, is told "no that makes me uncomfortable" and then proceeds to do it anyway in front of the person that declined? :doge

I think the article is deliberately unclear about whether he proceeded upon getting a decline, from what I recall. I think the article isn’t well written.

The article shouldn't need to be told a hard no. When someone laughs awkwardly like "are you serious?" and then you proceed to do it and they're clearly uncomfortable by it to the point you apologize? Yeah, that's clearly crossing a line and there is no defending that.
I got nothing against him having an exhibitionist kink, but when folks are clearly uncomfortable by it and you apologize (privately) but then proceed to do it to others instead of confiding in them, seeing if they're into that, and then making a deal of popping it on them maybe in the future? Nope, no defense.

I’m disappointed this Louis CK news is overshadowing my blatant slander of Chris Hardwick
Considering the last sexual scandal in the comedy world was Bill Cosby being the most prolific rapist in American history, Louie jerking off in front of people after asking is not going to hurt him. In fact, I expect him to joke about it on stage and everyone will have a giggle and move on.
More dirt: https://www.thedailybeast.com/when-marlee-matlin-accused-william-hurt-of-rape?via=ios
I'm kinda surprised that this is what got Louie and not the wild shit he used to say on Opie & Anthony back in the day. People have been getting years old tweets dug up for nothing but there was never a peep about any of his old jokes.
Ugly fat men are gross pervs news at 11.
Imagine being one of those poor women, exposed to his manfupa, beet-red baby carrot dick and nest of ugly ginger pubes :-\

Feldman said it was consensual, but Corey was 13 and Charlie was 19 or 20 and tried to convince him that it's a normal thing all dudes do, fuck each other in the butt for funsies at work.

From Coreyography:
"At some point during the filming, he explained an adult male convinced him it was perfectly normal for older men and younger boys in the business to have sexual relations, that it was ''what all guys do." So they walked off to a secluded area between two trailers during a lunch break for the cast and crew, and Haim, innocent and ambitious as he was, allowed himself to be sodomized."
Do I have this right: Louis would tell people he was sharing a room with that he was going to jack off and it was up to them to leave? I don't see how that's any different than telling someone that you're going to have sex in a dorm room and that if they don't want to see it they should leave.
Unless I'm missing something I don't see how this is worse than being really inconsiderate. :trumps

Gotta say, I was hoping the Louis reveal would be more than just attaching names to the stories that have been floating around.The fact that he made his ex-girlfriend wait in the hallway (or not, her choice) because he absolutely had to masturbate every morning was a pretty interesting story
The incident in the first paragraph (the one I believe you’re referring to) is one of the ones I think needs more clarity. “They thought it was a joke and laughed it off.“ This makes their exact response unclear. It’s shitty writing on the Times part.

Yes, and what I'm saying is: Put yourself in their shoes.
Or to flip it: What if someone like ToxicAdam invited you over to their house. You're having dinner with him. "Hey, is it cool if I jack-off in front of you?" *You're not sure if they're being serious or joking and try to laugh it off awkwardly because you're not cool with that* "(I take it your laughing means, 'yes please jack-off in front of me, ToxicAdam!' Cool (we're on the same page!)" *ToxicAdam proceeds to whip it out and jack it in front of you*
You: :wtf :confused :mindblown "Uh, you're for real?"
ToxicAdam: Of course I was!
You: No, dude. I didn't want you to do that.

Ok, that's a bad example given the Bore's gay subtext and it's late and I'm trying to figure out a good way of wording this. Basically he put the suggestion out there, they thought it was an off-color joke and him doing it was over the line for them because they didn't "consent" to it beyond that awkward laugh where they thought he wasn't serious.
Basically it's a mixed message all around between the two, but C.K. doing it repeatedly to folks without saying "yo, I'm an exhibitionist and would like to jack off in front of you, cool?" is crossing the line no matter how you slice it, IMO.

Criticism[edit]
The hashtag has been criticized for putting the responsibility of publicizing sexual harassment and abuse on those who experienced it, which could be re-traumatizing.[172][173][174][175] Some found the hashtag to inspire fatigue and outrage, rather than emotionally dense communication.[176][177] Burke had initially criticized the movement for ignoring the work of black women in creating dialogue addressing sexual assault.

Japanese companies are exceptionally averse to controversy, and Nintendo in particular is fearful about any kind of sexualization of their material. The association of the Nintendo brand with an employee who posts even mildly titillating pictures or academic stances defending pedophilia would send them running.

Moore’s fans in Alabama — most of whom are good people, I’m sure — are left to wonder, as people always do in these instances, how to reconcile the Moore they knew with the predator they’re reading about now in the papers. How could a man so devoted to public morality have been hitting on teenage girls by signing their yearbooks?
But it’s really not confounding at all. The truth is that moralizing and scandal are flip sides of the same filthy coin. Rigid intolerance is often the sign of one who can barely tolerate himself.
It turns out that all that time Moore was raising hell about morality and religious values, he was exorcising personal demons at the public’s expense. He was posturing as the moral pillar he badly wished he were, in order to somehow repress the weak, wicked man he knew himself to be.
You see this everywhere you look in public life. We know now that too many men, agonized by their own struggle with pedophilia, flock to the priesthood because they think they can redeem themselves. We’ve seen famous preachers come to tears railing against greed and adultery, because on some level they know they’re preaching to the mirror.
Really people, this is like 1/100th as bad as unleashing Stuart Smalley on the public. The most upsetting thing about this is that Franken went on a USO tour to support US murderers in the Middle East.

2016: everyone is dead

The kissing thing was pretty shitty but pretend to grab some tits or ass for a pic is not that big of a deal imo, a little childish but no reason for someone to lose a senate seat for acting like a 13 years old.

People calling for Franken's head are fucking morons. He didn't assault her, he didn't even harass her, he annoyed her until she relented to something she agreed to do (a stage kiss), and then he took a wacky pic where it's clear he DIDN'T touch her as you can see the shadows of his hands. RE is bouncing between him being on the same level as Kevin Spacey or Ray Moore, or it being a Hannity/Fox Newz hit job.
Even better because he apologized, the woman accepted it and was satisfied with it, yet you still got nerds like WHO GIVES A SHIT WHAT SHE SAID WE NEED TO GET HIS ASS FIRED.

As much as I'm disappointed to say I wouldn't be surprised if it's true considering when you're famous and powerful, especially at the time, that it very much could be true. But if he's denying it I can wait before I call the dude a rapist. I won't be calling the accuser a liar either. Call me a fanboy, but whatever.Takei also claimed Russian trolls made up his story lol. Agree with what you said about Stallone and his accuser. There's room for people not to attack either person here if they are sensible

I’ve only seen the first season, but isn’t he like the central character?
The last season of transparent was doing a lot with the other members of the family, they could easily do at least one more season without Tambor
The Tambor stuff is pretty crazy. I mean some of this stuff coming out on people is from 10-20-40 years back when they thought they could get away with it. But Tambor straight out creeping in 2016...wtf
Hope it doesn't kill the show and they make it work without him since the show does a lot of good. I only saw S1 and it was great, but the family were all super annoying terrible people, so idk how that will work.
Also, wasn't Arrested Development S5 in production or something? And this time they were having the entire cast together instead of piecemeal like S4? If they've already filmed S5, gonna be hard to cut Tambor out of the show.

The Tambor stuff is pretty crazy. I mean some of this stuff coming out on people is from 10-20-40 years back when they thought they could get away with it.

The woman who claimed wrongful dismissal claims that Conyers would ask her to work with him in private rooms where he would allegedly start describing sexual fantasies to her, including encouraging her to "touch" his penis.c'mon baby just touch my penis
Another former employee recalled a similar incident, in which Conyers asked her to "just cuddle up with me and caress me before you go" after she refused his request to stay with him overnight after traveling to a fundraising event.
The alleged victim told BuzzFeed she "was basically blackballed" over the incident. "There was nowhere I could go," she said.

Naw, man, Richard Simmons is the victim. He's hiding from all the stalkers, that little darling. (In all seriousness, Simmons seemed like he was a very touchy-feely guy, couldn't keep his hands off anyone, regardless of context.)
This A list agent who has been portrayed on the big and small screen is about to be hit by a flood of sexual harassment allegations. It is about time.
NBC has fired Matt Lauer, the longtime host of its "Today" show, as a result of what the network labeled "inappropriate sexual behavior."Maybe the biggest firing so far.
Lauer's firing was also reported Wednesday morning by "Today" show anchor Savannah Guthrie.
"On Monday night, we received a detailed complaint from a colleague about inappropriate sexual behavior in the workplace by Matt Lauer. It represented, after serious review, a clear violation of our company's standards," NBC News chairman Andrew Lack said in a memo. "As a result, we've decided to terminate his employment. While it is the first complaint about his behavior in the over twenty years he's been at NBC News, we were also presented with reason to believe this may not have been an isolated incident."

Since Hollywood was fixed last week and women are now treated well across the universe, I figured I’d spice this thread up with celebrity blind gossip.QuoteThis A list agent who has been portrayed on the big and small screen is about to be hit by a flood of sexual harassment allegations. It is about time.
This is apparently about Ari Emanuel, portrayed (in “inspired by” form) by also-rapist Jeremy Piven on Entourage. It’s really cool that both the real person and the actor that portrays him are both legit rapists. Maybe Piven was just doing research for deep method acting? Being that Ari was within one degree of Obama, one has to wonder about the former president as well.

I’m semi elated about never having to hear about lake woebegone again on Saturdays.He actually left the show last year, some younger guy does it now.
I really hate his voice. Guy noir was alright though.
Back in 2016, Lauer and his Today co-host Savannah Guthrie visited The Meredith Vieira Show as guests. At one point during the interview, Vieira, who co-hosted with Lauer on Today from 2006-2011, recalled a moment during her NBC tenure in which she went snooping in Lauer’s office and was immediately surprised.
“I went into your office once. Do you remember this?” asked Vieira. “Snooping. And you had a huge bag of sex toys–do you remember this?” Lauer immediately tried to shift the narrative, asking “if we can explain what happened” before launching into a ridiculous story about having a sex therapist who gifted the hosts sex toys after her appearance on Today.
So everything seems to be pointing to Bryan Singer being on the run. Filming of the Freddie Mercury is stopped because he hasn't been showing up for work (citing health of course) and his agent seems to have dropped him because statements and contact is being done through his lawyer :lolspoiler (click to show/hide)https://twitter.com/ElSoderbergho/status/936754443755884546[close]
Who knew you could get sick from a diet of too many young boys?!
Idk, I feel like a dude who hangs out on hot tubs full of teenage boys while fucking them could conceivably come down with an illness out of the blue.Well this just drives home the importance of finding fresh, clean and smooth boys w/o any blemishes or wear.
There's also this ugly feeling I have that there are some comic book die-hards trying to sully DOFP's release to aid Marvel Studios in acquiring the rights again, but I really hope that's not at the core of this.
Not to defend Singer or his actions, but if this were a mid-tier director doing this with barely legal girls would it even be a story?
Honestly, I’m jealous that women have this extra method of career advancement. If my lady boss locked me in her office and started rubbing my dick and said she wanted to eat my ass out, and it would be good for my career, I wouldn’t need any convincing. Women are just too prudish.This documentary series I saw on I think it was called Brazzers.com seemed to imply this was how things normally worked in the private business world.

About the same time, he tried to facilitate a business deal with Ms. Lynch, the literary agent consulting with Ms. McGowan, and others. “Getting together with three intelligent women would help my image immensely,” he wrote in an email, proposing a meeting.:dead
On Oct. 7, the day before he was ousted from his own company, Mr. Weinstein received an email from the investor Paul Tudor Jones.Yes, yes, run for President! :doge
“I love you,” he wrote, while detailing the steps Mr. Weinstein should take to rehabilitate his image. Mr. Jones told The Times that he condemned Mr. Weinstein’s alleged misconduct and wanted to encourage him to get help.
“Focus on the future as America loves a great comeback story,” he wrote to the movie producer.
He finished: “The good news is, this will go away sooner than you think and it will be forgotten!”

I still think Franken should of stayed on. IMO, he’s basically accused of nothing.okay, Newt
The only allegation that rises to a level that seems at all noteworthy is the chick he tried to kiss on the show, who is conveniently anonymous and who ducked the kiss. That was inappropriate but she’s anonymous, so we’ll never really understand if that’s even true.
The rest are either seemingly agenda driven, or basically just misunderstandings. “He grabbed my waist in a picture” or “he touched my side-boob in a picture”.
I predict that getting him to resign has just opened a door to a world of fuckery when more high profile dems are to be accused of doing shit that wouldn’t even get you fired from your job or anonymously accused of shot that would.

Color me shocked. When I was introduced to the British version earlier this year, I actually said, "This would never work in the US."
ABC has ended its relationship with Mario Batali, the veteran celebrity chef who had been on indefinite leave from The Chew since Monday following allegations of sexual misconduct. The network today made that split permanent, even though it noted that “we remain unaware of any type of inappropriate behavior involving him.”
“Upon completing its review into the allegations made against Mario Batali, ABC has terminated its relationship with him and he will no longer appear on The Chew,” an ABC spokesperson said in a statement. “While we remain unaware of any type of inappropriate behavior involving him and anyone affiliated with our show, ABC takes matters like this very seriously, as we are committed to a safe work environment and his past behavior violates our standards of conduct.”
Batali had stepped down from both his company — B&B Hospitality Group — and The Chew after the foodie blog Eater New York posted a lengthy exposé in which four women accused him of sexual harassment.

Matt Damon thinks the men in Hollywood who aren't sexual predators should be talked about more.i guess it does seem like it'd be easier to list the people who aren't doing this stuff
....
But Damon says not all the men in Hollywood are despicable.
"We're in this watershed moment, and it's great, but I think one thing that's not being talked about is there are a whole s---load of guys — the preponderance of men I've worked with — who don't do this kind of thing and whose lives aren't going to be affected," Damon told Business Insider while promoting his new movie, "Downsizing," opening in theaters Friday.
"If I have to sign a sexual-harassment thing, I don't care, I'll sign it," he said. "I would have signed it before. I don't do that, and most of the people I know don't do that."
Damon has recently been under fire for comments he made about sexual misconduct in Hollywood. Late last week, in an interview for ABC News' "Popcorn with Peter Travers," Damon told the Rolling Stone critic that there was a "spectrum of behavior" to consider.
"There's a difference between, you know, patting someone on the butt and rape or child molestation, right?" Damon said. "Both of those behaviors need to be confronted and eradicated, without question, but they shouldn't be conflated, right?"
Damon said the allegations against Al Franken, the Minnesota senator who recently announced his resignation after eight women accused him of groping or forcibly kissing them, weren't in the "same category" as those against Weinstein, which range from harassment to rape.
Damon's comments drew criticism, including from Minnie Driver, his "Good Will Hunting" costar and ex-girlfriend, and Alyssa Milano, who helped bring notice to Tarana Burke’ #MeToo social-media movement encouraging women to come forward with their stories of sexual misconduct.
Business Insider also asked Damon whether the current climate in Hollywood had made him more conscious of the people he'd work with on future projects. Would he back out of a movie if an actor, director, or producer had been accused of sexual misconduct?
"That always went into my thinking," Damon said. "I mean, I wouldn't want to work with somebody who — life's too short for that. But the question of if somebody had allegations against them, you know, it would be a case-by-case basis. You go, 'What's the story here?'"
However, Sarah said she has a distinct memory that as they were “fooling around” at her place, Miller began “shaking me violently” and punched her in the mouth during sex.hell of a first time
Sarah said that she woke up the following morning with a fractured tooth and a bloodied lip. When she asked Miller about it that morning, he claimed, according to Sarah, that she had simply fallen down drunkenly the past evening.
She was unsettled by the incident, but said that she did not know many people in D.C. and continued to see Miller. She had lost her virginity to him and, at least for a brief window, he was someone she trusted.
As they drifted apart, she asked mutual friends of Miller’s about the incident. According to Sarah and those close to her, the responses were fairly uniform, to the effect of, “Yeah, that’s just T.J.”:-[
now none of our heroes are safe:QuoteABC has ended its relationship with Mario Batali, the veteran celebrity chef who had been on indefinite leave from The Chew since Monday following allegations of sexual misconduct.

Guys who are overly loud about their feminism and support of women always end up being creeps
Guys who are overly loud about hating gays and homosexuality always end up gobbling cocks
It's cliche at this point tbh
These are getting more and more ridiculous, don't suck a dick on the first date if you are not planning to fuck :mindblown
A lot of times they'll be down to suck you off the first night, but you have to wait until the second to fuck.

Can you imagine the amount of guys getting #metoo'd for playing 'just the tip' these days . It'd be a bloodbath. :-XCan’t get me too’d on twitter if her fingers are permanently disfigured
I can’t help but think we’ve entered a point where feminists have decided “it’s rape if it feels rapey to you”.
The line is... wherever that individual woman decided it is, after the fact. There is no state in which Aziz Ansari would be convicted of any crime.
At some point, people need to take some modicum of responsibility of the situations they put themselves into. Nonverbal cues don’t count, unless it’s a slap or to push them away. Might as well just say “I thought really hard about how I didn’t want to fuck him”. If the response is, “I don’t know this man, and what he is capable of, because I know that OTHER men rape”
Then why the fuck did you go home alone with a man that you think might rape you? At the end of the day, Aziz Ansari might be a thirsty d-bag, but she gave him mixed signals and he backed off once she was firm. I won’t say he didn’t do anything “wrong”, but he lived by the code of no means no, and even apologized when he realized that his signals were crossed.
There has to be room for honest mistakes and miscommunication.
A woman shouldn't have to get "firm", and the signals weren't really mixed at all.
She was down to make out with him, chill with him, maybe sleep over. She might have been down for oral. She wasn't down to fuck him that night. She may have been down to fuck him the second night, or the third night, if he'd been a gentleman instead of a creep. We've all been in a situation like that, right? It's not always all or nothing.
I wasn’t really even thinking of that, I didn’t want to be engaged in that with him. But he kept asking, so I said, ‘Next time.’ And he goes, ‘Oh, you mean second date?’ and I go, ‘Oh, yeah, sure,’ and he goes, ‘Well, if I poured you another glass of wine now, would it count as our second date?’” He then poured her a glass and handed it to her. She excused herself to the bathroom soon after.
Come on, surely you know what a nonverbal cue is. Think body language, posture, reciprocation. Even semi-verbal cues like vocal tone, etc.
Someone shouldn’t have to directly tell you that they’re uncomfortable for you to realize it. Say I’m your coworker, and we’re hanging out for the first time, and have a bunch of drinks at your place, and you’re like, “Check out this Top 10 ISIS chainsaw executions video I’ve got,” and I’m cringing a bit and saying things like, “Can we watch South Park or something?” In that scenario you’d pick up on the fact that I’m not really down to watch the ISIS chainsaw execution compilation, right? But if you kept pressing the matter, brushing my objections aside, desperately wanting to show me the ISIS chainsaw execution video even as I’m telling you “That’s really not my thing”, I’d have to directly tell you, “No, fucker, I don’t want to watch your fucked up snuff film,” and wouldn’t that be way more awkward for our friendship? We probably wouldn’t even have a friendship if it had to get to that point.
You’re hoping that someone will just get it without you having to flat out say something that sounds kind of antisocial, because you still want to believe the best about this person, you still want to be friends with this person. And it’s way worse for women than for a dude and his coworker as in my hypothetical example, because instead of watching a video I’m having my body penetrated.
Think about the fact that the ask in this kind of sexual encounter is for a person to allow someone to stick part of themselves into the other person’s body. How many things have gone up your ass in the last few years? It’s not exactly like bumming a cigarette. So you’re hanging out with someone you’ve just met, they’re asking to penetrate your body, you really aren’t sure about that, and they just won’t stop pressuring you. Just won’t stop. Wouldn’t you find that a little fucked up?
No, but they're on average physically weaker and less confrontational.
Why are you acting like it's that easy?

It's an unequivocal no from me. The way your colleague Ashleigh (?), someone I'm certain no one under the age of 45 has ever heard of, by the way, ripped into my source directly was one of the lowest, most despicable things I've ever seen in my entire life. Shame on her. Shame on HLN. Ashleigh could have "talked" to me. She could have "talked" to my editor or my publication. But instead, she targeted a 23-year-old woman in one of the most vulnerable moments of her life, someone she's never f------ met before, for a little attention. I hope the ratings were worth it! I hope the ~500 RTs on the single news write-up made that burgundy lipstick bad highlights second-wave feminist has-been feel really relevant for a little while. She DISGUSTS me, and I hope when she has more distance from the moment she has enough of a conscience left to feel remotely ashamed - doubt it, but still. Must be nice to piggyback off of the fact that another woman was brave enough to speak up and add another dimension to the societal conversation about sexual assault. Grace wouldn't know how that feels, because she struck out into this alone, because she's the bravest person I've ever met. I would NEVER go on your network. I would never even watch your network. No woman my age would ever watch your network. I will remember this for the rest of my career - I'm 22 and so far, not too shabby! And I will laugh the day you fold. If you could let Ashleigh know I said this, and that she is no-holds-barred the reason, it'd be a real treat for me.
Why are you assholes still acting like a woman can't say I have no interest in sex?
They aren't incapable doll brained distinguished mentally-challenged fellows.
Seems like i'm worse than Hitler because i kinda agree with both sides here.
I don’t know what a nonverbal cue is
Do you mean this literally? Like in your daily life?
edit: beaten by Contra
I’ve been with the same woman for like 10 years, and wouldn’t say that I could 100% reliably pick up on her nonverbal cues. And that’s with somebody I know very well, much less a total stranger.
Obviously I know what one is, but I’m not going to put much stock in them as an effective way to communicate.
Many are the mornings where my wife says some shit like “oh, why didn’t we have sex last night, I was pointing my butt towards you” or some shit like that.
Edit: here’s the caliber of person that wrote that article. She should post on the bore :dogeQuoteIt's an unequivocal no from me. The way your colleague Ashleigh (?), someone I'm certain no one under the age of 45 has ever heard of, by the way, ripped into my source directly was one of the lowest, most despicable things I've ever seen in my entire life. Shame on her. Shame on HLN. Ashleigh could have "talked" to me. She could have "talked" to my editor or my publication. But instead, she targeted a 23-year-old woman in one of the most vulnerable moments of her life, someone she's never f------ met before, for a little attention. I hope the ratings were worth it! I hope the ~500 RTs on the single news write-up made that burgundy lipstick bad highlights second-wave feminist has-been feel really relevant for a little while.

But what I'm sensing here is that men have a responsibility to read all signals correctly and women have little responsibility because they're weak little girls.You're willfully ignoring that conditions are not equal and then act confused that responsibilities aren't divided equally, either? Huh. What we have in place of equal conditions is cultural patchwork in the forms of morals and laws, but they don't actually guarantee anything in the moment.

Reports of sexual misconduct by Dr. Larry Nassar reached at least 14 Michigan State University representatives in the two decades before his arrest, with no fewer than eight women reporting his actions, a Detroit News investigation has found.
Michigan State student paper calls for university president to resign
The DeWitt Republican is the first high-rannking state official to call for Simon to step down in the wake of the scandal. He’s joining calls for an independent probe of MSU after internal investigators cleared university officials of wrongdoing but did not produce a report of their findings.
“The best-case scenario for Michigan State University is that there was absolutely gross negligence all the way to the top, and worst-case scenario, something’s being covered up,” Leonard told The Detroit News.
Leonard said he was “appalled” internal investigators did not document their findings in any report. A former assistant prosecutor for Genesee County, Leonard said his office went through hundreds of investigations and thousands of warrants during his three-year tenure.
“Not once was there ever a situation where we had an investigation and a report wasn’t produced,” Leonard said. “There were often times that a report didn’t produce charges, but there was always a report that was produced.”
Recent blind item about It’s Always Sunny:
This long running FX show which recently switched channels might have set the record for most behind the scenes settlements with actresses and crew that has ever been recorded. One person told me that right before she quit, one of the actors came up to her and asked how come she had not"blown him" yet and they should go to his trailer and change that. She proceeded to kick him in the balls and enjoyed watching him bend over in pain.

In regards to Nassar, MSU should never be allowed to have an athletics program ever again (same thing with Penn State)You're correct.
Nassar should be sent to a prison where he will be raped repeatedly.
Nassar should be sent to a prison where he will be raped repeatedly.
Just to be super clear, it should not be a prison full of female athletes.
In regards to Nassar, MSU should never be allowed to have an athletics program ever again (same thing with Penn State)You're correct.
However the precedence has already been established after PSU. These athletic departments are deemed too big to fail and all of this will be forgiven. The media treat Penn State football like a fucking redemption story because they've stung together a few 11+ win season while collectively ignoring the decades they systematically enabled a child rapist. Our society is insane.

Meehan, who is married with three children, acknowledged to the Philadelphia Inquirer that his feelings for the woman were progressing “in a way in which I was struggling to make sure that I would never put that into our professional relationship.” Meehan’s office also showed the newspaper and other local media outlets a letter the fourth-term Republican wrote to his then-aide on May 4, the day the House voted to repeal Obamacare.
“As I walked this evening and glanced over at the White House I smiled at the irony that on a day that I had to say ‘no’ to the President and to the Speaker of the House, I got to say ‘yes’ to you,” Meehan wrote the woman.
...
He said that he asked her to ice cream, which he had perceived as an opening to discuss the nature of his feelings for her, and recalled telling her that “I was not interested in a relationship, particularly not any sexual relationship, but we were soul mates.”
He described the settlement with the woman as a “severance,” according to the Inquirer. Conyers’ settlement with his former aide who alleged harassment was also structured as a severance payment, made confidentially after consultations with the Office of House Employment Counsel.
The former aide pursued a harassment claim against Meehan, first reported Saturday by The New York Times, after she believed he had become jealous of a relationship she began last spring with another man who did not work in the office. Meehan admitted to the Inquirer that he became “rough” on the job with the woman, linking it to the intense political climate that surrounded last year’s Obamacare repeal vote.
“Sometimes I have the tendency to lash out to others on the staff,” Meehan told the Inquirer, adding that “you go hardest on the ones that you care the most about.”

Too Short Sued for Sexual Battery
EXCLUSIVE
Too Short is being accused of sexual battery ... TMZ has learned.
The rap legend is facing a lawsuit ... filed Friday in Los Angeles by a woman named Teana Louis. According to docs, obtained by TMZ, Teana says Too Short sexually assaulted her on multiple occasions ... between June and October of 2016.
In the suit, she says the attacks included forced oral sex, vaginal sex and sodomy.
Teana says she and Short met in December 2015, and eventually produced a song together in April 2016. She claims that's when he made the first unwanted advances. She claims the first assault went down in June when they went to a hotel room in Downtown L.A.
According to the docs, Too Short threw her onto the bed, held her down, undressed her and began performing oral sex on her. She claims subsequent incidents happened in hotel rooms or the studio. She claims on one occasion he told her, "I'm just going to put the tip in" ... and, although she said, "No, please no" ... he continued. In the suit, she says he held her down during vaginal sex -- she was left bleeding -- and then "brutally sodomized" her.
She's suing for sexual battery, sexual harassment, gender violence, gender discrimination and false imprisonment.
Yeah, I'm surprised it hasn't been a bigger deal nationally. He was basically raping America's sweethearts for years.
yah the Nassar story is horriblein the shithole capitol of Michigan it's been endless here in all the media, you'd think literally nothing else was happening anywhere on the planet
Not much attention paid to it in comparison to the other stories and how heinous this story is.
Is the problem really the programs in themselves though ? It's a genuine question. Maybe the only way to curb the terrible culture they groom at a particular place is to cut them out entirely.The Michigan State side of the Nassar fallout is still unfolding (the President actually just resigned) so it's hard to say where things settle. Given some of the statements from victims during his trial, MSU was grossly negligent when it came to the safety of their students. It also sounds like many higher up in the administration went above and beyond to protect Nassar and/or just wanted the situation to go away. We know over a dozen employees (http://www.detroitnews.com/story/tech/2018/01/18/msu-president-told-nassar-complaint-2014/1042071001/) knew something was going on and some victims reported abuse over 20 years ago (http://www.mlive.com/news/index.ssf/2018/01/nassar_victim_describes_tellin.html) and were ignored and even mocked. Pretty clear there was a lack of institutional control. It all sounds very Penn St.-esque.
Bill Ballenger, a longtime Lansing political commentator and publisher of The Ballenger Report political newsletter, said the next question is how many of the MSU trustees might now be removed.I wonder if that means this famous for shady deals guy is finally out, he's up this year, and the other (Republican) Trustee up already announced he's not running for re-election:
“I think the trustees, at least up to this point, have really disgraced themselves in their handling of this whole thing,” Ballenger said.
He particularly pointed to Trustee Joel Ferguson, who gave a radio interview this week in which some interpreted his comments at trying he appeared to try as trying minimizing the sexual abuse scandal.
“The real question is whether people stop and say, 'OK, the president is enough,' ” Ballenger said.
Despite calls for the ouster of Michigan State University Lou Anna K. Simon, "that's not going to happen. Period," MSU Trustee Joel Ferguson said in a radio interview Monday.
former federal prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald, who led an internal MSU inquiry into the Nassar case, wrote: “While many in the community today wish that they had identified Nassar as a predator, we believe the evidence in this case will show that no one else at MSU knew that Nassar engaged in criminal behavior.”wow, great work yet again, Fitz
Outside the Lines also has obtained never-before-publicized reports of sexual or violent incidents involving members of Izzo's storied basketball program, including one report made against a former undergraduate student-assistant coach who was allowed to continue coaching after he had been criminally charged for punching a female MSU student in the face at a bar in 2010. A few months later, after the Spartans qualified for the 2010 Final Four, the same assistant coach was accused of sexually assaulting a different female student.That assistant coach had his assault and battery case dismissed, and he instead pleaded guilty to a civil infraction for littering. :-\
Over the past three years, MSU has three times fought in court -- unsuccessfully -- to withhold names of athletes in campus police records. The school has also deleted so much information from some incident reports that they were nearly unreadable.Totally not hiding anything, nothing to see here.
Meanwhile, the NCAA does absolutely nothing. But if it was some kid getting a free hamburger or something, they'd be all over it.Speaking of which...
NCAA president Mark Emmert was specifically alerted in November 2010 — six months after he was hired as the organization's president — to 37 reports involving Michigan State athletes sexually assaulting women.So they knew Michigan St. was a mess 7 years ago but did nothing. This line is revealing
"You do kind of get the fox guarding the hen house mentality. You do feel like the NCAA doesn’t like to do investigations because they like their relationships (with university officials and conferences)"
Thurman got to know Weinstein and his first wife, Eve, in the afterglow of “Pulp Fiction.” “I knew him pretty well before he attacked me,” she said. “He used to spend hours talking to me about material and complimenting my mind and validating me. It possibly made me overlook warning signs. This was my champion. I was never any kind of studio darling. He had a chokehold on the type of films and directors that were right for me.”
Things soon went off-kilter in a meeting in his Paris hotel room. “It went right over my head,” she says. They were arguing about a script when the bathrobe came out.
“I didn’t feel threatened,” she recalls. “I thought he was being super idiosyncratic, like this was your kooky, eccentric uncle.”
He told her to follow him down a hall — there were always, she says, “vestibules within corridors within chambers” — so they could keep talking. “Then I followed him through a door and it was a steam room. And I was standing there in my full black leather outfit — boots, pants, jacket. And it was so hot and I said, ‘This is ridiculous, what are you doing?’ And he was getting very flustered and mad and he jumped up and ran out.”
The first “attack,” she says, came not long after in Weinstein’s suite at the Savoy Hotel in London. “It was such a bat to the head. He pushed me down. He tried to shove himself on me. He tried to expose himself. He did all kinds of unpleasant things. But he didn’t actually put his back into it and force me. You’re like an animal wriggling away, like a lizard. I was doing anything I could to get the train back on the track. My track. Not his track.”
She was staying in Fulham with her friend, Ilona Herman, Robert De Niro’s longtime makeup artist, who later worked with Thurman on “Kill Bill.”
“The next day to her house arrived a 26-inch-wide vulgar bunch of roses,” Thurman says. “They were yellow. And I opened the note like it was a soiled diaper and it just said, ‘You have great instincts.’” Then, she says, Weinstein’s assistants started calling again to talk about projects.
She thought she could confront him and clear it up, but she took Herman with her and asked Weinstein to meet her in the Savoy bar. The assistants had their own special choreography to lure actresses into the spider’s web and they pressured Thurman, putting Weinstein on the phone to again say it was a misunderstanding and “we have so many projects together.” Finally she agreed to go upstairs, while Herman waited on a settee outside the elevators.
Once the assistants vanished, Thurman says, she warned Weinstein, “If you do what you did to me to other people you will lose your career, your reputation and your family, I promise you.” Her memory of the incident abruptly stops there.
Through a representative, Weinstein, who is in therapy in Arizona, agreed that “she very well could have said this.”
Downstairs, Herman was getting nervous. “It seemed to take forever,” the friend told me. Finally, the elevator doors opened and Thurman walked out. “She was very disheveled and so upset and had this blank look,” Herman recalled. “Her eyes were crazy and she was totally out of control. I shoveled her into the taxi and we went home to my house. She was really shaking.” Herman said that when the actress was able to talk again, she revealed that Weinstein had threatened to derail her career.
Through a spokesperson, Weinstein denied ever threatening her prospects and said that he thought she was “a brilliant actress.” He acknowledged her account of the episodes but said that up until the Paris steam room, they had had “a flirtatious and fun working relationship.”
“Mr. Weinstein acknowledges making a pass at Ms. Thurman in England after misreading her signals in Paris,” the statement said. “He immediately apologized.”
Thurman says that, even though she was in the middle of a run of Miramax projects, she privately regarded Weinstein as an enemy after that. One top Hollywood executive who knew them both said the work relationship continued but that basically, “She didn’t give him the time of day.”
Thurman says that she could tolerate the mogul in supervised environments and that she assumed she had “aged out of the window of his assault range.”
She attended the party he had in SoHo in September for Tarantino’s engagement to Daniella Pick, an Israeli singer. In response to queries about Thurman’s revelations, Weinstein sent along six pictures of chummy photos of the two of them at premieres and parties over the years.
And that brings us to “the Quentin of it all,” as Thurman calls it. The animosity between Weinstein and Thurman infected her creative partnership with Tarantino.
In the famous scene where she’s driving the blue convertible to kill Bill — the same one she put on Instagram on Thanksgiving — she was asked to do the driving herself.
But she had been led to believe by a teamster, she says, that the car, which had been reconfigured from a stick shift to an automatic, might not be working that well.
She says she insisted that she didn’t feel comfortable operating the car and would prefer a stunt person to do it. Producers say they do not recall her objecting.
“Quentin came in my trailer and didn’t like to hear no, like any director,” she says. “He was furious because I’d cost them a lot of time. But I was scared. He said: ‘I promise you the car is fine. It’s a straight piece of road.’” He persuaded her to do it, and instructed: “ ‘Hit 40 miles per hour or your hair won’t blow the right way and I’ll make you do it again.’ But that was a deathbox that I was in. The seat wasn’t screwed down properly. It was a sand road and it was not a straight road.” (Tarantino did not respond to requests for comment.)
Thurman then shows me the footage that she says has taken her 15 years to get. “Solving my own Nancy Drew mystery,” she says.
It’s from the point of view of a camera mounted to the back of the Karmann Ghia. It’s frightening to watch Thurman wrestle with the car, as it drifts off the road and smashes into a palm tree, her contorted torso heaving helplessly until crew members appear in the frame to pull her out of the wreckage. Tarantino leans in and Thurman flashes a relieved smile when she realizes that she can briefly stand.
“The steering wheel was at my belly and my legs were jammed under me,” she says. “I felt this searing pain and thought, ‘Oh my God, I’m never going to walk again,’” she says. “When I came back from the hospital in a neck brace with my knees damaged and a large massive egg on my head and a concussion, I wanted to see the car and I was very upset. Quentin and I had an enormous fight, and I accused him of trying to kill me. And he was very angry at that, I guess understandably, because he didn’t feel he had tried to kill me.”
Even though their marriage was spiraling apart, Hawke immediately left the Abbey of Gethsemani in Kentucky to fly to his wife’s side.
“I approached Quentin in very serious terms and told him that he had let Uma down as a director and as a friend,” he told me. He said he told Tarantino, “Hey, man, she is a great actress, not a stunt driver, and you know that.” Hawke added that the director “was very upset with himself and asked for my forgiveness.”
Two weeks after the crash, after trying to see the car and footage of the incident, she had her lawyer send a letter to Miramax, summarizing the event and reserving the right to sue.
Miramax offered to show her the footage if she signed a document “releasing them of any consequences of my future pain and suffering,” she says. She didn’t.
So, The Mormon (LDS) church is currently having some horrendous stuff come to light. There's this campus called the MTC (Missionary Training Center) where kids 18 - early 20s go to get trained to serve a mormon mission. These men and women are volunteering and PAYING to be there. Further, the building and maintenance and everything is subsidized by church tithing. In the past few days the following has come to light:
- Former MTC President admitted ON TAPE to sexually assaulting a woman in the 80s in the basement of the MTC
- Same guy admits on tape to grooming young women he might be able to sexually assault and to grooming at least one other young woman which he assualted
- One of the victims reported him to the church, they did nothing
- The dude was reported to the police, they did nothing
- The victim reported the guy again to the church they did nothing because they felt he had repented
- The victim records a 2 hour interview (without the guy's consent) with the guy where he admits to all these things
- The victim sends the tape to the church in January. They actually do something. That thing they did? They took a bunch of LDS friendly law makers out to a fancy lunch in February and pushed for them to pass a law making it illegal to record someone without their consent
- The tape gets leaked
- The church issues a public statement where it casts aspersions on the victim saying "Oh she's a 'former mormon' who only served her mission shortly'" which is a HUGE dog whistle for active members to say this person can't be trusted and says the guy hasn't been disciplined because it's unclear what happened and if the allegations are true (this despite the fact the guy is on tape saying, "Yeah, I did that")
- Some in the church say "That's such a lie, nothing like that ever happened in the MTC"
- Several former staff from the MTC come out and say that they do remember a weird room in the basement with a bed in it
So in essence, we have an admission that a church leader was grooming young women volunteers, raping them in a church facility paid for with member tithes and the church will not discipline him and all my active mormon friends who threw a hissy fit and signed petitions because they felt that the NYT's obituary for their prophet last year wasn't adoring enough, all those people COMPLETELY quiet.
It's entirely disgusting.
In one of the biggest "no shit" moments, Nickelodeon finally parts ways with Dan Schneider: https://twitter.com/TheInSneider/status/978400201105801216
BREAKING: Nickelodeon officially parts ways with Dan Schneider. DHD reports "multiple complaints of abusive behavior against Schneider filed by members of his staff" "Under a butt of suspicion over the treatment of some younger stars." "Well documented temper issues for years.
I think it should be noted that Nick didn't suggest anything like that as a reason for the partnership ending. Considering companies can't wait to broadcast they're getting rid of problematic people, I think it's just as likely that it's over the lack of hits coming form Schneider's company over the past 4-5 years.

SALT LAKE CITY —The LDS Church's First Presidency announced significant policy changes Monday, providing direction on how bishops and stake presidencies may conduct interviews with women and children and how they counsel victims of abuse and sexual abuse.
The changes specified that children, youth and women now may invite an adult to join them in what traditionally have been personal interviews. Some had said they were uncomfortable being interviewed one-on-one by a male priesthood leader.
The First Presidency also clarified to members of bishoprics and stake presidencies how they should respond to reports of sexual abuse and how to minister in those situations. The changes explicitly state that local leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints should never disregard a report of abuse and should never encourage members to remain in an abusive situation.
"To ensure the safety and protection of children, youth and adults, we ask that all priesthood and auxiliary leaders become familiar with existing church policies and guidelines on preventing and responding to abuse," stated the letter, which was signed by church President Russell M. Nelson and his counselors, President Dallin H. Oaks and President Henry B. Eyring.
I think it should be noted that Nick didn't suggest anything like that as a reason for the partnership ending. Considering companies can't wait to broadcast they're getting rid of problematic people, I think it's just as likely that it's over the lack of hits coming form Schneider's company over the past 4-5 years.
Supposedly he blew up at Nick execs since his last show was getting cancelled days after they finished filming season 3. But still: I hope the other shoe drops and the meme of /tv/ is true because he gives off creeper vibes.
I wonder if the Missionary Training Center is next to the Anal Destruction one.Apparently, they're one in the same.
I think that Jesus would want to clarify the forgiveness part of Puppy's story.Fun Fact: Mormons have this thing called the "Second Anointing" where essentially if you get high up enough in the church you perform this ordinance and it means your salvation is made sure. You can do whatever you want, you skill get to go to the high level of heaven. And there is no way that this guy who ran the MTC did not have it.

It's actually fascinating if you're into that kind of stuff. There's a guy who got it, they promised him he'd see Jesus in the ordinance and then when it was done they were like "Isn't that great?" When he asked when he'd get to see Jesus they said it was a spiritual manifestation, not a physical one. Dude ended up leaving the church and posting all the details. But, since he has the second anointing they can't excommunicate or even discipline him. It's hilarious. (Google Tom Philips)
https://www.buzzfeed.com/arianelange/john-kricfalusi-ren-stimpy-underage-sexual-abuse?utm_term=.qhwn8nOjz#.yxYanaMxVIt was news to me, but it shouldn't have been to any of us, apparently:
Probably not that big of a shock.
I think that Jesus would want to clarify the forgiveness part of Puppy's story.Fun Fact: Mormons have this thing called the "Second Anointing" where essentially if you get high up enough in the church you perform this ordinance and it means your salvation is made sure. You can do whatever you want, you skill get to go to the high level of heaven. And there is no way that this guy who ran the MTC did not have it.
It's actually fascinating if you're into that kind of stuff. There's a guy who got it, they promised him he'd see Jesus in the ordinance and then when it was done they were like "Isn't that great?" When he asked when he'd get to see Jesus they said it was a spiritual manifestation, not a physical one. Dude ended up leaving the church and posting all the details. But, since he has the second anointing they can't excommunicate or even discipline him. It's hilarious. (Google Tom Philips)
Disgraced CBS anchor Charlie Rose is being slated to star in a show where he’ll interview other high-profile men who have also been toppled by #MeToo scandals.
The move was revealed by editor, writer and women’s advocate Tina Brown, who confirmed to Page Six that she was recently approached to produce a #MeToo atonement series starring Rose, who would interview others embroiled in sexual harassment scandals.
NORRISTOWN, Pa.–As rapt jurors listened to the judge overseeing Bill Cosby’s sex assault retrial read back prior testimony, the entertainer’s lead lawyer snoozed in his chair.wait, are we sure Cosby didn't drug him?
Tom Mesereau, mouth agape, drifted in and out of consciousness Wednesday as Judge Steven O’Neill read pages and pages of Cosby’s own words about Quaaludes and his sexual contact with accuser Andrea Constand into the record.
...
Mesereau slept at the defense table for some 30 minutes, and awoke as the testimony from the deposition was still being read.
Except that's not what he wanted.
This is the first criminal conviction/plea in the recent wave of celebrity assault/harassment cases, no? Unless you count Nassar.

…Including let him sexually assault me. Regularly. I was expected to be ready for him when he came home from work.
How did this happen? At the beginning of our relationship, I was quite ill often due to my diet, something I’ll get to in a bit. One night he initiated, and I said, “I’m so sorry, can we not tonight? I’m feeling really sick.” He responded, “I just want to remind you, the reason my last relationship didn’t work out was because of the lack of sex.” It was a veiled threat. I succumbed.
Every night, I laid there for him, occasionally in tears. He called it “starfishing”. He thought the whole idea was funny. To be fair, I did go along with it out of fear of losing him. I’m still recovering from being sexually used (not in a super fun way) for three years.
The first time I told him I loved him after 6 months of hoping he’d say it first, his response was (and I quote), “I think I love you too, f****t.”

I think it's gross of her to come out and say those things.No, it really does make him an abnormal monster, and he should dragged all over for this.
Every one has bad relationships. Everyone has stayed in a bad relationship where the other person treats them like a tool. Every one has come out of a bad relationship and had those feelings where you beat yourself up and say "Why did I let them do that to me for so long?"
That feeling of lack of closure can make you pretty bitter and have a biased memory of a relationship.
You try to learn from it and make sure not to make the same mistakes again.
She got into a relationship where there was a huge imbalance between her and her partner. In terms of age, life experience, finances and social status. He abused his leverage and she let it happen. Doesn't make him a great guy, but it doesn't make him some kind of abnormal monster either.

Keep in mind, we're talking about a relationship that was only 2 1/2 years long, in a situation where neither one was obligated to each other (either through marriage, ownership of property or business, or working together).

Seriously, are you dumb, insensitive, or just confused?
When a person stops resisting during rape, does that mean she's complicit?
She's not using the word "rape," but "assault," designating that was was happening was not a mutually desired act. "Starfishing" may be implying sodomy as well, which she may not have desired, but due to the emotionally abusive relationship, she submitted to it.

That's the thing I mean, it's not like he started out all sweet and lured her into the relationship and then slowly broke her down. From her desciption he started out as a dick, was still a dick as they started dating, and when the relationship became more permanent, still a dick. No-one deserves to be treated the way she was treated if they don't want to be, but looking at it from Hardwick's perspective, if he truly is a self-obsessed person who doesn't know how to be in a normal give-and-take relationship, how was he supposed to know how miserable she felt? From her description he is not emotionally observant (or caring), so in his mind it started with her wanting a relationship with him despite his hangups, then as things got worse he thought "well maybe this is just a rough patch", then when she kissed someone else and told him she wanted to break it off, he had a moment of clarity, asked for another second chance, was told no.
Shit relationships happen. I'm really interested what his ex Janet Varney has to say about their previous 7 year relationship, because a) I love her and b) it could really shed some light on whether he has a history of emotional neglect.
(Varney voiced Korra and did an awesome podcast where she interviewed women about what their highschool experience was like growing up)

Aren't you a virgin?
Promising to change in order to keep her from leaving is also such a common behavior among abusers that it'd be funny to see it used to defend him, except that people take that sort of shit at face value all the time.
He threatened to end their relationship if she didn't put out...so she consented- She said she was sexually used by him. He's a piece of shit if this is all true, but rape is forced, is it not? She was letting him do it because she didn't want the relationship to end.
I'm not defending whatshisname here if what she said about him is true, but I read it as more of her being in a really shitty, emotionally and verbally-abusive relationship that she stayed in for way too long. He's a piece of shit for using her like that.

This is why a lot of feminists have been getting behind the idea of "enthusiastic consent."
She said yes, but that yes was in response to a veiled threat, in the context of what you yourself recognize as an abusive relationship, and she was acquiescing to something so clearly traumatic to her that it made her cry.
We don't have a great consensus on the language for encounters like that, because it hasn't been treated as a serious problem before. So while calling it "assault" might have a flattening effect which equates it with legally defined rape, calling it "consensual" flattens it in the other direction, whitewashing the reality of what he did to her. At the very least we should be able to call it a violation.
There is the potential for a gray area and miscommunication with sexual consent, but after Louis CK (who always made sure he got a "yes") and Aziz Ansari, there were a lot of guys seizing on that gray area, or evidence of consent in a very technical sense, to completely exonerate those guys and justify aggressive, pressuring, and even threatening behavior all the way up to, but not quite including forcible rape. Maybe in a couple years we'll call this something else, but right now I'm not really bothered by the "assault" terminology.
It’s why I’d say that Aziz Ansari is kind of a douche bag, but he’s not a sexual predator. He pressed up until the point she said a firm no, and then backed off.
buddy, noIt’s why I’d say that Aziz Ansari is kind of a douche bag, but he’s not a sexual predator. He pressed up until the point she said a firm no, and then backed off.
This is a really dishonest summary of that piece (and whatever we think of the author or the site, Ansari never disputed the sequence of events laid out in the story).
If you feel you can't defend what these guys did without whitewashing it, that should maybe raise some flags.
I don't understand how people can say things along the lines of "yeah, clearly he's taking advantage of his partner's weaknesses for his own pleasure/benefit but he's not a predator" :doge

It comes down to believing that despite his ridiculous expectations, he wasn't so controlling that she was incapable of making her own decisions. If she feared for her safety or he was physical that would be one thing, but by her own statement, he was a poor partner from day 0 and she stuck around because she wanted to until she didn't.
Her sticking around for it doesn’t make it not abuse, how don’t you get that?
I understand that definition of “enthusiastic consent” but think it’s not very workable. Theoretically both sides should be enthusiastic, but in reality, how are you going to have some sort of definition of “misconduct” where one person asks another to have sex, that person says yes and then later says “oh, I didn’t really want to do it, so it was an assault”. Because the idea that two people are having sex and one person is not that into it that day/night seems like a really common occurrence, even within a relatively normal relationship.
I think it also is asking people to be mind readers. I’m not sure how a person is expected to know what the other person is thinking. At some point you have to expect people to have agency, and outside of a physical threat, being really fucked up, or in an abusive situation, people have to take responsibility for being clear about their desires and what they are ok with and state those clearly.
Honestly, I believe my summary is pretty accurate if you read between the embellishment of how uncomfortable she looked and how bad he was for not noticing she was uncomfortable.
But from a different point of view she made out with him, then let him undress her, then wanted to slow down, then agreed to suck his dick, then wanted to slow down, but never explicitly said “no I don’t want to have sex with you” or “im not comfortable with this, I’m leaving.” She didn’t say she didn’t want to have sex, she said “Next time”.
I’m not saying Aziz Ansari is a smooth cool dude. But nothing he did was illegal, nor should it be.
After he bent me over is when I stood up and said no, I don’t think I’m ready to do this, I really don’t think I’m going to do this.
While the TV played in the background, he kissed her again, stuck his fingers down her throat again, and moved to undo her pants.

I don't think its that, its the (implicit) comparison to all the other sexual misconduct stories that is making people go 'ya this is a bad thing but its not Cosby-level'.
Except nobody's called for a criminal prosecution similar to Cosby's, and just in this thread you have at least two guys arguing that Chloe Dykstra should take the blame for his actions.
I get wanting to recognize the gradations, but I've seen way way way more dudes use "not as bad as Cosby/Weinstein" as a way to minimize things than I've seen people actually equate different types of incidents.
But why conflate the two
I mean in terms of pain, this is probably even worse than Cosby or Weinstein.why even write this

So no, I don't think this is about unreasonably demanding he be a "mind-reader."
What I’m saying is this. Aziz did nothing criminal. Equating his behavior with a Weinstein or calling him a sexual predator, or whatever just seems extra.
There are two sides to every story, by Aziz Ansaris own words he though it was consensual. From my reading of her story it was consensual, if boorish and gross. I’m not going to get morally indignant over some guy acting like an asshole on a date one time. This isn’t like Henry Weinstein where a slew of women came out a month later saying “oh yeah, Aziz is a serial date rapist”.
I mean yeah, blessings in disguise, people kept begging me to see Master of None, that stopped instantly once it was revealed Aziz Ansari likes asking girls if they want to fuck one too many times.

Have you read the story? Cause this is almost literally the opposite of what he did wrong.
Sure, makes sense to me and I agree with you. Not exactly something I thought I was going to get called out on like that. :-\
The way women experience the world is different to the way you and I experience it. This is part of our privilege, which doesn't mean we have to feel guilty or bad about what we have, but it does mean we need to be aware that not everyone has a shared frame of reference.I don't normally care for the privilege angle but after a drunk gay guy threatened to kill me in a bar for rejecting his advances I had my "maybe being a woman is not always fun" moment.
You know I quit my last forum when the members wouldn't put out.
Hardwick more or less tells Dykstra his long text message will be the last time he talks to her and declares their relationship is over, and she then sends several texts begging to talk, saying, "I will always love you."
According to the text thread, Chloe reached out to Chris 7 months later in an apparent attempt to make up. Sources close to Chris say it's hard to believe Chloe would try for months to get back with him if she was being emotionally and sexually abused, as she claimed last week.

If you read what she wrote you'd know that she cheated after 3 years of emotional abuse. No-one is saying she's a saint. xxxtentacion's girlfriend cheated on him too.he's a douche and she's not calibrated correctly. it's an ugly relationship that she felt the need to air out because she believed he blacklisted her. i totally get it and this is why i'll never (already don't) text argue with a girlfriend again.

Kevin Spacey is now being investigated for 6 sexual assaults in London ... after 3 new men have come forward with allegations against the actor.
According to the Metropolitan Police ... a man came to them in April claiming he was sexually assaulted in Westminster in 1996. And we're told 2 other men came forward in February with allegations of sexual assault -- one claiming an incident occurred in Gloucester in 2013 and the other in Lambeth in 2008.
As we reported ... Spacey became the subject of a Scotland Yard investigation in January when an alleged victim went to police claiming he was sexually assaulted in Westminster in 2005. Cops in London were already investigating 2 similar complaints before that.
We're told, just like the Scotland Yard cases, officers from the Child Abuse and Sexual Offences Command are involved in the 3 news cases.
There's also an active criminal investigation in Massachusetts involving a then 18-year-old male. And the L.A. County D.A. is reviewing other allegations.
We've reached out to Spacey's attorney, so far no word back.
Clare told The Daily Beast: “We’re proud of the pre-publication work we do to make sure that media reports about our clients are truthful and accurate.”this guy is smooth
Clare said, “We take it as a great compliment that, in a small fraction of our matters, professional journalists have retained our firm.”
But Tom Clare added “It’s easy (but flat wrong) for critics to mischaracterize our work as ‘making threats’ and ‘chilling speech’ when, in reality, we promote accurate reporting by presenting the facts and evidence that journalists need to make informed decisions about the stories they are considering for publication.”
A top lawyer at a national media organization was less impressed: “I don’t think this strategy is very effective. You have to look at how many suits are filed to letters sent. You’re in the ratio of elbow cancer.”i bet this "top lawyer" didn't even know the ratio of elbow cancer when he said this
The network had conducted an investigation into the allegations against Hardwick and issued the following statement on the findings and decision to return the host to the air: “Following a comprehensive assessment by AMC, working with Ivy Kagan Bierman of the firm Loeb & Loeb, who has considerable experience in this area, Chris Hardwick will return to AMC as the host of Talking Dead and Talking with Chris Hardwick. We take these matters very seriously and given the information available to us after a very careful review, including interviews with numerous individuals, we believe returning Chris to work is the appropriate step.”
Idk is there a punishment worse than having to keep doing Talking Dead?having to watch walking dead :lol
The producer who worked alongside Ronan Farrow at NBC News on his Harvey Weinstein investigation quit in protest earlier this month.
Rich McHugh tendered his resignation on Friday, Aug. 17, a year to the day after the Weinstein story left with Farrow. Since then, Farrow has won a Pulitzer Prize for a series of articles that revealed allegations of sexual harassment and assault—and questions have lingered about why the network gave up on the story that helped launch the #MeToo movement.
NBC News has long insisted the Weinstein exposé wasn’t ready to run on air or online, contrary to Farrow’s claims that it was. Farrow’s story, which ultimately ran in The New Yorker, was part of a series that won the 2018 Pulitzer Prize for Public Service, earned him the prestigious George Polk Award for National Reporting, and garnered near-universal praise from his colleagues.
The Daily Beast has uncovered new details of how the process went awry, including alleged threats from NBC, back-biting inside the network about who was truly responsible, and a previously unreported ultimatum by Weinstein’s attorneys.
According to multiple sources familiar with the matter, NBC News general counsel Susan Weiner made a series of phone calls to Farrow, threatening to smear him if he continued to report on Weinstein.
Oh so now we are running and telling Mommy about a little rape joke at work?Get with the times breh. A stare in the wrong direction will imprison you for life.
Which still doesn't make that video make any less crazy.Uh, doesn't that make it more crazy?
I don’t understand what he is trying to accomplishThe purchase of NBC, obviously.
While those that took the fight to their accusers or kept claiming they were innocent are equally hated but managed to achieve their goals and keep their careers.
The #metoo movement really ruined itself by having the likes of Kavanaugh show that it is better to turn it into a public circus and find supporters rather than keeping a low profile.
"Oh, wait... you didn't see me die, did you?"
He wants to be back on House of Cards so badly. But didn't it end already?

The Amazing Origin Story Of A Hollywood Wonder Boy Learning To Use His Powers For Good, Not Evil
At one point known as “the Colour Society” (a spelling that Landis allegedly insisted upon), Landis’ circle was an immediate draw for Julie, who first met Landis when she was relatively new to Los Angeles. “Max’s whole entire MO was, he had a special friend group, it’s very exclusive, and you’re lucky to be a part of it. He introduced me to almost every single one of my current friends.”
Lainey*, a former friend of Landis’ whose stint in the Colour Society overlapped with Julie’s, had a similar introduction to the circle. “Max was one of the first people I met when I moved to Los Angeles. He had amassed this huge group of really cool people that he would get together for ridiculous activities. One-hundred person Nerf battles and elaborate theme parties which he casually spent 50K on.
“He jokingly called me a ‘paint cat’ in reference to the ill-fated feline who tries desperately to escape the clutches of Pepe Le Pew"
"He suggested we go to Disneyland and stay overnight."
"I’ve been a shitty guy, but I have never ever let it bleed into my work life. I’ve never had a sexual relationship with anybody on any set, I’ve never been inappropriate with anybody on a set."
That Twilight Zone accident is like the nightmare scenario for anyone producing entertainment. People, from the technicians themselves to the producers, often cutting corners -for a variety of reasons- on safety rules, labor code and a lot of other little transgressions, pushing limits and risks to gain those marginal artistic edges, squeezing more or less reasonable overtime out of teams to keep with tight schedules, etc... 99% of the time it will go fine or only with minor injuries, moral bruises, spicy tales to joke about down the line or build the legend of showbusiness. When it doesn't, people die, you're responsible and it's never worth it.
I don't know where I'm going with that tangent : spare a thought for that pain in the ass co-worker who can't take a shit unless the rulebook is followed to the letter. He exists for a reason.

Shooter (2016). On July 6, 2016, while filming a scene at Agua Dulce Airpark, actor Tom Sizemore accidentally ran over a stuntman. Sizemore was supposed to enter the Cadillac Escalade and stay there until the scene ended. The stunt coordinator told him not to pull out, but he did so regardless, not realizing that the stuntman was behind him.
Lone Operator (2013, unaired). During filming of this planned Discovery Channel series, cameraman Darren Rydstrom, cast member Michael Donatelli, and pilot David Gibbs were killed in a helicopter crash in Acton, California. Gibbs was not authorized by the FAA to fly during the morning hours, and he had his pilot's license suspended twice prior to the accident.
The Eagle (2011). When filming in a freezing river, actors have a mixture of boiling hot water and river water poured down their suits to stay warm. A crew member forgot to mix the hot water with the river water during filming; as a result, Channing Tatum was scalded with boiling water that burned the skin off the tip of his penis.

Although best known as a folktale, the character of Bluebeard appears to derive from legends related to historical individuals in Brittany. One source is believed to have been the 15th-century Breton and convicted serial killer Gilles de Rais, a nobleman who fought alongside Joan of Arc and became both Marshal of France and her official protector, then was hanged and burned as a murderous witch.However, Gilles de Rais did not kill his wife, nor were any bodies found on his property, and the crimes for which he was convicted involved the sexually-driven, brutal murder of children rather than women.[8]

"I know I have said and done things that might have offended people during my career, but I have never knowingly pursued any underage women at any point. All of my relationships have been both legal and consensual and I have never met or exchanged any inappropriate photos with the people who have tweeted about me. That being said, I really am truly sorry. I was a dumb guy who ABSOLUTELY let myself get caught up in my lifestyle. That’s MY fault. I own it.

Maaaaaaaaaaaan this sucks. Warren Ellis has written some of my favorite comics (Transmetropolitan) and one of my favorite books (Normal) and he's a scumbag.
I'm not buying it. I mean, Ellis has famously surrounded himself with beautiful women, been clear about his appreciation of them, and promoted women creators positively on his site. Katie West started in Ellis' cadre when she was mainly getting by taking artistic nude photos of herself and selling them before OnlyFans existed. She seemed primarily skilled in self promotion. A friend of mine was in this circle when West was active in Toronto and hanging off from Ellis' arm. Ellis was clear what he was about.
Other women from that era are complaining that they were taken advantage of, and about Ellis' predator behavior was when they were 22. Maybe this isn't a good look for me during #MeToo, but how about taking some personal responsibility for choices that are made as adults?
Sure, but regretting one’s own consensual decisions is not the same as being assaulted. Equating them is disingenuous, and is disrespectful of people who have experienced real tragedy.

https://mobile.twitter.com/SJBsMama/status/1274175397337411586I read the thread.
I got three tweets into that thread and already nintex is lyingWhat am I lying about specifically?
what's the point, dude?
I witnessed, and experienced, his behavior firsthand. He got me blackout drunk on Midori Sours (on the company dime)."He got me blackout drunk" -> They all drank a lot
He and two friends somehow got me back to my room, where he pounced in front of the other guys.
They left after a few moments (also drunk), and one of them-
-told me what he had witnessed the next evening. I had very vague impressions that someone had made out with meShe refused him
when I woke up that morning, but thought it was a dream. When I asked Chris about it,
he told me that I had eventually refused him. When more of the night came back-
-to me, I realized the ONLY reason I was able to refuse him in my blackout stupor was because I was on my period that weekend.Because she was on her period. Other nights she had seen the same thing
The ONLY reason. (The shame society places on menstruation actually came in handy for once, smdh.)
Other nights, I watched him do the same to-
-other girls, some of whom looked FAR younger than me in my late 20s (at the time, and I have always looked young for my age).Weird flex to say she looked young for her age but apparently she was in her late 20's.
He would disappear with one or another, come back, then come back to me. The entire con.
I did not get drunk with him again, and he was a gentleman-
-about my refusals, including the one where I was drunk off my ass, and when he escorted me to the subwayShe got drunk again and he brought her to the subway. At this point she had seen his behavior with other girls.
station at 4:30am the morning I left to go home.
That kind behavior is what not only kept me in denial about what was actually going on,oh dear bad decision time!
but drove me to introduce him to-
-one of my best friends, who then endured over a year of heartache, gaslighting,A year of heartache, gaslighting, emotional abuse? What does this mean? Did he cheat, did he call her names?
and emotional abuse at his hands. It was much easier to see then,
and ALL of us who knew what was going on told her to get out.
Eventually, she did, but not before he raged out of a restaurant-
-drunk as fuck (as usual), leaving her behind,The breaking point was not getting girls drunk and soliciting them for sexy time but him leaving her friend and that friend looking for the guy light at night alone?
after which point she wandered the downtown streets
of a major convention city late at night, ALONE, looking
for him because she was worried he would get hurt due to how drunk he was.
This was my breaking point.
I went to two men I worked with at this convention and reported the situation."Oh hey guys, this total asshole wanted to fuck me but I refused. Then I introduced him to my best friend who's now wandering at night after she was in a bad relationship for a year"
Interestingly enough, they were already discussing his terrible behavior
when I found them together to report it.
With my testimony added, he was blacklisted right then and there.
His behavior didn’t stop, though. If anything, it got worse.How did it get worse? How did she know, I thought she had broken off contact? Another friend who worked 'there'.
It took years for his employer to finally fire him (I honestly don’t recall the exact reason he was given,
it was a while ago and I wasn’t there personally - this was relayed to me by a friend who also worked there).
He moved to other studios. Other projects. Other conventions until they stopped inviting him on their own accordWe pushed it out of our memory because who cares if there's a predator on the lose. At least my friend doesn't have to wander the streets at night anymore?
(whether due to behavior or relevance, I don’t know).
I pushed him out of my memory, as did my dear friends, and we only discussed our anger and disgust if he-
-happened to come up. I’ve said something to some friends in journalism if he came up.I said something, to some friends. Wow, you have lots of friends. Guess better late than never to tell them.
Emily reached out to me after seeing my tweet to apologize.
For what, I asked her? She didn’t know what he was like and carried no fault in this.
Most didn’t know unless they saw it.
Still no one said anything except in closed circles.Protected? He was blacklisted and fired.
*I* didn’t say anything except in closed circles to warn people about his behavior.
I have no idea if he’s remotely better than he was then,
but given how protected he’s been from true consequences for his actions, I doubt it.
The actions I witnessed myself occurred between 2013 and 2015.And despite all these suspicions he seemed like a nice man to introduce to one of your best friends
Those I was told by friends who remained around him occurred up until 2017 or 2018.
This was recent. Who knows how long it had been occurring before then;
he was clearly no stranger to doing this when I met him.
when the kevin spacey news broke his take was wow that must have been awesome for those underage boysI have no comment on the conduct of Mr. Spacey (https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/tv/story/2019-12-31/kevin-spacey-sexual-assault-case-dismissed)

What do you think is going to happen? Are you going to play Mario Kart together?
You accept the invitation and then after a drink or two you both undress... instead of your fantasy playing out, she immediately starts to peg you.
Oof, you didn't expect that, you don't know how to respond so you don't explicitly say no, you distance yourself mentally and let it happen.
After she's done she walks out saying: "Don't tell anyone about this Mandark, my career would be over!" and blows you a kiss.
She has definitely taken advantage of your affection and her fame but did she rape or abuse you?
https://twitter.com/BRlFFGRAFF/status/1274437073177468928he buttons the top button on his polo... only sex predators do that. it's their signal to one another (so I've heard obv I'm not one).
his response was "i don't care. i want it now." the look he gave me was terrifying.
he held me down while i was crying and begging him to stop.
i was on my back and my head was hanging off the futon upside down. i couldn't react to what was going on. i couldn't look at him. i was frozen with tears streaming down my face. he just kept going. i went numb and tried to block out what was happening to me.
when he was finished, he didn't even recognize what he had done. i tried to explain what he did to me, what he did wrong, and he suggested we should use a safe word next time... as if telling him no and asking him to stop wasn't enough. he had absolutely no remorse.

Bryan Callen, Joe Rogan's long time best friend and best known for an original cast member of Mad TV, got hit with a bunch of allegations up to and including rape. This came a month after HIS best friend, comedian Chris D'elia, got exposed for grooming teenage girls and sending dick pics to minors, along with predatory behavior against other female comedians in the industry.Topic: Celebrity Sexual Harasment Apocalypse Thread.
Of note: Whitney Cummings was close with both, and on a podcast actually confronted Callen about sexually assaulting her and how she felt like she had to fuck him to get him to leave her alone. D'elia worked on her TV show and said he exhibited a pattern of predatory behavior. Callen has also on reasonably recent podcasts have said what is considered sexual assault is way too low and when the Kevin Spacey shit came out, he didn't think a drunk dude laying on top of an unwilling participant and humping until he came should be considered sexual assault.

ArsTechnica Peter Bright Gets Sentencing Delayed 2 Months After Moved For Acquittal
By Matthew Russell Lee, Exclusive, Patreon
BBC - Decrypt - LightRead - Honduras - Source
SDNY COURTHOUSE, Aug 2 – Former ArsTechnica writer Peter Bright's re-trial for attempted enticement to sex of a minor resulted late March 16 in a guilty verdict from the jury. Photo here.
The verdict came as other trials in the SDNY courthouse had been stayed, and another criminal trial with one juror deliberating remotely from his apartment, in Coronavirus COVID-19 self-quarantine.
Now Bright's sentencing has been pushed back a full two months: "MEMO ENDORSEMENT [90] LETTER MOTION Reschedule Sentencing as to Peter Bright ENDORSEMENT Sentencing is adjourned from September 3, 2020 to November 4, 2020 at 11:00am. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge P. Kevin Castel on 7/31/2020)."
On June 15, with still no trial resumed, the US Attorney's Office filed its opposition to Bright's Rule 29 motion for acquittal. Full filing on Patreon here; it says among other things that "Bright called Dr. James Cantor, a clinical psychologist, and also testified in his own defense. Dr. Cantor testified that “age play” is a type of sexual kink in which “participants are pretending that they’re a different age than what they are.” (Tr. 310). Building on Dr. Cantor’s testimony, Bright testified that when he first met the mother on KinkD, he believed she was an “age player” and that her children were “littles,” i.e., adults pretending to be children." We'll have more on this.
Your brain being unable to comprehend the idea of a person becoming rich and not using that money to fuck kids is how I know you are a pedo.
Aslo you play pedo games, but still.
The entire world's theory: Every single human being on the planet who came into contact with this pedo billionaire was also a pedo kid fuckExcept, when you went to the bathroom in one of Epstein's houses you were greeted by pictures of little children that weren't his.
My take: The guy probably didn't tell everyone that he was a pedo because that idea is idiotic at face value.
Ah the old "here's a kinda young looking girl in some random photos" proof that Bill Clinton fucked children lolThat's not what I'm saying. I'm saying that most close to Epstein knew what he was up to.
Same with Spacey going after younger girls
"He likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side"
Surely Bill Clinton has fucked at least a couple of teenage girls. I would be much more surprised if he never fucked a 14-17 year old than that he has with or without Jeffrey Epstein's involvement.You mean the Bill Clinton that had his dick sucked in the Oval Office and lost track of the Nuclear Football, that Bill Clinton?
Riots sounding like an MJ fan right now tbh 🤔 👁 💰
And you're obnoxious because you're the type of guy who loves getting into arguments on the internet
I didn't think it was possible for Nintex to be the less obnoxious one in a conversation, but somehow you managed it
I do think a lot of excessively online people are pretty invested in using Epstein to reverse-engineer a new Pizzagate and it's a bit weird?
It's like 99% of people just insta-believing any conspiracy about Epstein.
It's barely above q-anon conspiracy drivel, but it's accepted as mainstream beliefs.
Drives me a bit nuts, also fascinates me. Some of the same exact tactics used by Ancient Aliens/Alex Jones stuff too.
The main one being that he didn't really commit suicide.
I think it's highly likely he did kill himslef; I also think it's possible he didn't.
thanks for your output ;)I think it's highly likely he did kill himslef; I also think it's possible he didn't.

One source of concern for Ms. Gates was her husband’s dealings with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, according to the people and a former employee of their charity, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Ms. Gates’s concerns about the relationship dated as far back as 2013, the former employee said.

Kind of can't get over the fact that they titled this article "Noel Clarke accused of sexual harassment," when half of it is spent recounting how John Barrowman allegedly ran around the set literally slapping people with his cock :lol
Peter Bright is speaking: "I did not identify myself as a pedophile because I am not one. I did not lie to my therapist." [But Doctor Kaplan's report is withheld in full, at least for now, as are Bright's lawyer's arguments based on it.]
The Italian film L’Uomo che disegnň Dio (The Man Who Drew God) will be directed by Franco Nero, 79, and will also star Nero’s wife, Vanessa Redgrave, 84. “I’m very happy Kevin agreed to participate in my film,” Nero told ABC News in the United States. “I consider him a great actor and I can’t wait to start the movie.”:popcorn

Both officers who were guarding Epstein were working overtime because of staffing shortages. One of the guards, who did not primarily work as a correctional officer, was working a fifth straight day of overtime. The other guard was working mandatory overtime, meaning a second eight-hour shift of the day.
Before they were arrested, both officers had declined a plea deal with federal prosecutors.
Epstein’s death and the revelation that he was able to kill himself while behind bars at one of the most secure jails in America was a major embarrassment for the Bureau of Prisons and cast a spotlight on the agency, which has also been besieged by serious misconduct in recent years.
In many gendered cases of violence, the law does not always believe women against powerful men, so if it is uncovered that Heard lied about her donation and framed Johnny Depp as the accuser when she was more responsible for the abuse, it could have catastrophic consequences for other women who go to court and lose their assault trials due to sexism and a lack of believability.
