Hollywood: Sexual assault whack-a-mole

[TummieGaruda]

Nothing that's cut and dry assault, but his ex-wife mentions that his chronic infidelity involved his cast and crew and fans so there's some questionably grey areas there in terms of the whole abuse of employer-employee power balance possibly causing pressure to 'consent' as well as being generally shitty/predatory. That's reading a bit into it of course, no one has explicitly stated one way or another, to my knowledge.

After seeing him at that party with a woman that was definitely not his wife (she looked like she was in her early 20's) and the way that he was touching her, I had my suspicions lol.

Most directors are assholes but if he was singling out women and POC plus tormented and fired a woman for getting pregnant without his permission, fuck that guy. We had one Alfred Hitchcock already and he was better at the job.

The cheating on his wife stuff sucks, sure, but not really related to the job.

While insofar as we've been told he hasn't done anything illegal, I am down with people in Hollywood getting called out for shit like this. Let's face it, Hollywood's life span has just been brimming with bad behavior. And while this is on the more mellow side of things, by calling it out it hopefully reduces the overall disgusting tone that goes on over "there."


And again, that's based on what we know so far. If he did some sexual assault shit, fuck the guy even more. But if he didn't, still fuck that guy and stop (generally speaking) giving a pass to this shit.

I mean, not a ton of voluntary Cuomo lovers here (or in his office) but the neolib boomers are having their hearts broken right now

If this could also temper his brother on CNN that'd be great.

Former U.S. Olympic gymnastics coach John Geddert, who led the women’s team to a gold medal at the 2012 Summer Games, killed himself Thursday after he was charged with sexual assault and human trafficking in relation to acts that occurred at a Michigan gym he owned and ran for decades.

Nah. Pretty sure ScarJo was already a huge name before Avengers. Whedon was a comparative nobody to that entire cast.

Evans and Hemsworth only became big after Avengers. Their first solo outings weren't that huge.

But Scarlett was definitely already a big name mainstream.

Evans was big after Fantastic Four and his towel scene as Human Torch definitely placed him in the upper echelon of pop culture and celebrity status.

Yeah. Most gymnastics competitions can be in other cities, states (gymnastics facilities are few and far between so you're going some distance to compete) when you're a pipeline for the elite level kids they get to go to other countries. Kids can start competing as early as level 3~4 depending on how USA Gym setup the levels and point system and kids can be in level 3 around 4 or 5.
