Celebrity Sexual Harasment Apocalypse Thread

[Let's Cyber]

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 knew something was going on and some victims reported abuse over 20 years ago and were ignored and even mocked. Pretty clear there was a lack of institutional control. It all sounds very Penn St.-esque.

In the case of Penn State, it was an unprecedented situation (or so we thought) and should have required an unprecedented punishment.  Most of penalties handed down to Penn St. were rescinded and they were ultimately slapped on the wrist. Essentially, the NCAA bungled the entire thing and now it puts this new investigation into MSU in awkward position. If the hammer does come down hard on MSU now, they have every right to cry foul for the NCAA's inconsistency. I think handling the Sandusky scandal properly would have at least laid out a template for future situations but that's out the window now.

So to answer your question, is the problem with just these individual programs? No, it isn't.  I don't think the behavior by Penn State administration (and apparently that of MSU) was all the different from that of the Catholic Church. Hide, deny, coverup. The fact these cases are so similar in terms of the school administrations' reactions to systematic abuse is super telling. This is a broader college athletics problem and there are no easy answers. The NCAA doesn't have the power to really address these kind of institutional failures and it has become apparent that the universities aren't capable of self-policing. Maybe this Nassar scandal will change something but I doubt it. 

TL:DR-It's fucked.

holy shit, never expected Lou Anna to resign

Bill on point:

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 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.

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:

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.

[benjipwns]

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

To follow up on the Nassar story, Michigan St. was the wild west, apparently.

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.

A lot of that stuff in that article isn't unusual at big universities, unfortunately. We recently saw how rotten Baylor was. With this Nassar scandal putting a microscope on Michigan St., many of their skeletons are about to be pulled out of the closet.

Speaking of which...

https://theathletic.com/223555/2018/01/26/ncaa-president-mark-emmert-was-alerted-to-michigan-state-sexual-assault-reports-in-2010/

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)"

[Mandark]

The NCAA is clearly the wrong organization to be monitoring and punishing colleges for this kind of shit, though they've created that expectation by making sure players never get paid for their labor enforcing rules relating to amateurism.

Tangentially related to this topic:

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/03/opinion/sunday/this-is-why-uma-thurman-is-angry.html

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.

Well, certainly explains a lot of things...

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.

Literally nothing about this surprises me. The only part I'm not surprised about is the lack of him assaulting male missionaries, but then again they would've done something if that were the case.

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.

Oh well! Everything is kosher now!

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)

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.

"Slated to star" might mean "someone is trying to pitch this with no takers" but either way, c'mon.

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.

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.

wait, are we sure Cosby didn't drug him?

Cosby found guilty on all three counts.

This needed to happen, but I'm still sad that it all turned out to be true since I've been a big fan of Cosby's comedy and TV shows since I was a kid.

In another world we would have found out that Cosby was smashing on as many girls as Pryor was while on coke and the world probably would have given him dap, instead he smashed on them with roofies and now dude's gonna die behind bars.

Cosby should have just smashed on willing fans and had hundreds of illicit affairs like any other upstanding celeb, what a fuckin dummy. 

[Mandark]

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.

Seems like not a smart thing to say when trying to get bail.

Bill Cosby rape truthers ("he's being set up!") are some of the dumbest fucks around.

[Great Rumbler]

Unless you count Nassar.

I wouldn't really count Nassar since nobody really knew who he was before all the allegations started coming out. Cosby was a household name going back to practically the 60s.
