Even though #metoo has Gone Too Far and Accusations And Rumors Are Ruining Lives now, it's fun to look at the Glenn Thrush case.

He wasn't just acting inappropriate, but he himself was spreading fake rumors about his coworkers' sexual behavior, and kept his job.

Hardwick redeemed:
http://ew.com/tv/2018/07/25/chris-hardwick-amc-talking-dead/

Quote

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.”

I feel like that’s the right move on Hardwick, even though I find him insufferable.

Quote

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.

Moonves is out.

Fager, the 60 Minutes producer, is also out. His statement about it: "I sent a text message to one of our own CBS reporters demanding that she be fair in covering the story. My language was harsh and, despite the fact that journalists receive harsh demands for fairness all the time, CBS did not like it. One such note should not result in termination after 36 years, but it did."

And here's what he sent...

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/13/business/media/cbs-bull-weatherly-dushku-sexual-harrasment.amp.html

Eliza Dushku is sexually harassed by the star of the CBS show she's on, goes to talk to him about it, gets fired in retaliation. Then she goes to arbitration with CBS, and the network's lawyer submits a bunch of tapes from the set thinking it will help their case when it actually documents the harassment.

The underlying harassment isn't at the level of some of the other #metoo stories, but the CBS team thinking that actual footage of the incidents would somehow clear them, because it also included Dushku swearing? Come on guys.

edit: As a bonus, Les Moonves apparently lied to investigators hired by CBS and they could deny him a $120 million severance package as a result.

So far the people that took the blame or even apologized for even 'mild' #metoo accusations all got the short end of the stick. Everyone hates them and their careers are ruined.
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.
Especially because the older cases are hard to investigate and the news cycle eventually passes on a story with no new developments.

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.
