Doesn't mean that it wasn't two consenting adults negotiating a contract.

Then an accusation of rape wouldn't be true. Despite what some insane people may believe you can't take back consent.

I'm talking about these "casting couch" situations, that weren't actually forcible rape.

With Netflix there was at least one person with a different director that said something the the folks at Netflix and she was told they would look into it a couple of years ago, but suddenly fired the director after the Weinstein accusations. I think it was the daughter of the guy that wrote the Highcastle books. I'm starting to get that vibe from some of the people that Spacey harassed. I think they said something within the system, but never went public. But I'm sure what you said elsewhere came into play. They probably didn't feel like the "key grip" could get a reporter to listen.

I suspect Netflix is about to get hit with a substantial lawsuit, and probably rightfully so. My suspicion is that people at Netflix had already fielded complaints about Spacey. A lot of complaints. I think that's why everything happened so fast with the series being dropped, then production suspended and then all future projects with Spacey cancelled.

In a world that's more connected than ever, it makes no sense that someone can't report something.

People can make false reports like crazy, but we're supposed to believe real ones can't get out?

I'm not victim blaming at all, but damn, defend yourself. Even through anonymous sources.

Keep in mind the type of false reports that grow legs though. The lesbian waitress that got no tip but a written note about her sinful life gets an eager ear and reporter ready to lead the charge for their cause. I think it's a lot harder to go after the rich and powerful in Hollywood, mostly because most journalists see them as "one of us". I'm hoping moving forward there will be less effort to shield these predators.

But overall I'm with you on the "defend yourself" notion.

Burn Hollywood Burn

Spacey gets replaced in next Ridley Scott film.

Another accusation against Spacey.

But don't worry, Spacey is getting treatment...

Meanwhile this guy comes to Spacey's defense and tells the victim to "suck it up".

Phrasing, boom!


We're still doing that, right?

The alleged assault took place in July 2016, said Unruh, who spoke during a press conference about the incident. She said Spacey sexually assaulted her son in 2016 when he was 18 years old.
Unruh also claims to have consulted with the local sheriff, who urged her to file a report at the time.
She said during the press conference that her son filed a police report last week with the Nantucket Police. The department chief would not confirm to CNN if a report has been filed. The district attorney's office, however, confirmed that they are looking into the alleged incident, and that it is related to Spacey.

COME ON PEOPLE

In today's accusations...

Charlie Sheen is the one being accused of sexually assaulting Corey Haim.

Portia de Rossi, Ellen's smoking hot wife, says Seagal tried to give her the casting couch treatment.

A third accuser calls out Jeremy Piven.

Two of those people's careers are already pretty much over, but Piven just had a new show start on CBS. I'm guessing it'll need to be a ratings juggernaut for CBS to renew it amid these accusations.

Okay, what the f'ing hell?

SMALLVILLE Alum Allison Mack Under Investigation For Reportedly Leading A Sinister Sounding Sex Cult

I promise you there are still some massive sex related scandals going on in Hollywood that haven't broken yet.

Also, how hypocritical does Hollywood look with Spacey right now? They're all shunning him, but they gave a fucking convicted pedophile a standing ovation and an award at the Oscars a few years ago. (Polanski)

Right?

I think now's my time to break into Hollywood.

Producer: You have no credits whatsoever, and your headshot is just a selfie?
Me: I've never molested anyone.
Producer: You're hired.

This feels relevant.
