  • I have a huge fury with some of the stories raised.

    Many of the actresses named in the Weinstein case state how horrified they were and ashamed... but then went back and worked with him another 2 or three times.

    The Affleck accusation would come under the writers issue not the actors - they chose to film and show it if it wasn’t scripted and the actors had say. The actors did not object so no offence was carried out. The aftermath of “but the Make up artist” - why wasn’t she focus of story?

    Charlie Sheen - highly probably but if someone was truly scared why would they ask for anal sex again?

    Kevin Spacey I think some are real and some are not.

    I understand hiding but some of these accusations coming from firmly famous people or people just “yeah he touched me, I liked it, it was so wrong” or “yeah he raped me but I kept working with him for a few years and let him rape me”

    NO.

    I’ve been raped. I’m not a celebrity. At the time I worked in a supermarket. But you know what happened after I was raped? I made sure I never saw him again because I was scared. I do not believe these people who went “yeah let’s keep meeting” and I do not believe the people who liked it and were later denied more.

    • Yeah you’re right, I mean part of me is like good for women for speaking up but the other part questions the validity of some of the stories. I’m sorry for what you went through. As a guy such as myself, I don’t know how to approach a girl now. If a girl goes out on a date with me and afterwards we’re alone and tensions aren’t high, if I start kissing her on her neck and running my hands on her body and she likes it, is that harassment... especially if it’s a girl I want to be with in the future and potentially marry? I don’t want to be 1 of those guys who sleeps around. I have yet to find a girl who I have clicked with on a date just on a communication level.

    • And tensions are high**

    • And I’m sorry for you for this. I’m not saying sexual harassment is okay at all, but as a society we have no idea what we can and can’t do and say. For me, I’m a girl who’s always liked a joke. I’ve always liked a cheeky slap on the bum and a silly wink, but that’s just me. And I used to work with people like that, but it was just that. It was a joke, nothing more. Now, we have situations like a teacher says “well done girls” to a group and is then excused of gender assuming because one girl is gender fluid (real story). What are teachers to do, ask everyone if they feel girly that day? We’ve got to draw a line somewhere, stop handing out money to anyone who cries wolf, stop people from getting away with ridiculous situations.

  • My bums been touched in nightclubs... I have knees why didn't I use them for a swing to the balls?

    that was a while ago... oh god I was sexually harassed by a drunk fella who probably wouldn't look my way twice sober got a bit touchy..

    What about women who grab men's bums and balls in nightclub? Any male want to put an argument in for being unwantedly touched? That's sexual harassment to.. it may have happened a decade ago but let's sue!!

    it's fkin stupid... rape I can understand that's a crime but being a bit touchy feely? It's been happening since microorganisms grew feet and started walkin... it's the mating call of a person who finds another person semi decent to look at even animals do it.. tho they go around sniffing each other's bums etc.

    Define sexual harassment? If it's a one off thing fine but ifs it unwanted and the other person has made it clear they don't wish to be touched then by all means complain but don't wait until decades later...

    • I do think sexual harassment is anything inappropriate that involves touching. If a woman was in the office, photocopying files and a male manager went behind her and said you're doing a great job and left his hand on her midback for a good 10 seconds that may be considered harassment in the female's mind. Sexual harassment could even be words, if you overheard a sleazy guy you work with say, wow she has some nice breasts, I'm assuming that would offend you? Or if a woman in the office was laughing with her female colleagues that a guy in the office has a small dick and he overheard that, that could tie to sexual harassment as well. This is why I stay off shit like Tinder, I don't go to parties or clubs or if I get a vibe that a girl loves exposing her body, enjoys dating a new guy every week or every month chances are she's not a girl a guy should pursue if he wants something serious. I try to be true to myself, to respect girls/women, to hold down a meaningful convo.

    • lol I think if you knee'd a guy in the balls he would probably just fall on the ground, in a fetal position and call you the B-word. I highly doubt he's going to go to the police station and file a report that his manhood was violated by a girl's knee.

  • Sexual abuse and assault cases are currently a hot topic in the public discourse. Cases of false accusations of sexual abuse are also being discussed in the newspapers, but not as often as cases of sexual abuse.

    The first reason could be revenge (e. g.,: reprisal for injury or anger). this involves accusers who retaliate or wish to retaliate and these accusations generally involve a male who gets rejected by a woman.

    The second reason could be an alibi, which is an attempt of a complainant to conceal or deny what they were really doing.

    A third reason could be gaining attention and/ or sympathy, which involves getting social recognition, and using victimization as an explanation for own problems

    Just before few minutes I was reading one article.

  • 1. hollywood 4pm screw a producer to get ahead, even a bit part days were easily inside & out of the 1930's, everyone starving after The Crash (Wallstreet) ... now these little things make big news?
    2. everyone that is 1/2way beautiful gets sexually "attacked", be it in school, on dates, college socials, work, certainly war, whatever... few escape yet national news is about these now rich prima donnas?
    3. TV brings us pictures of peiple getting their heads cut off... and the news wants to divert focus from defense & war against REAL aggressors, with this "poor-me" dribble? Poor mes seem to be doing very well these days, certainly better than we who have to watch them in between irritation commercials... that come like machine gun bullets these days
    4. can't wait for the guys to come out against the gals that fondled... and worse... them... wait - yes I can, am sick of this dribble!
    5. some gals really were raped and have police evidence to prove it - none here, all here-say
    6. ever hear of a gal that bore false witness as to sexual or physical harm... from a guy they were cheating on... to cover it up? Same thing in many cases here. If not cheating coverup, then pretty much asking for a class-action donation or a failed blackmail attempt.
    UGH - turn OFF such news and don't buy products that pay for such news

  • I mean it doesn't really surprise me. Celebrities are still by the end of the day people. They hair tend to have more in their pocket to hide their faults better.

  • I least had a hunch about Kevin Spacey.

  • I guess I have a somewhat different perspective on all this. First, there's a difference between sexual harrassment and sexual assault. If someone commits sexual assault (Bill Clinton, Al Franken, for examples), where actual physical things were done to people against their will (or while sleeping/unconscious), then those people are total scum. Same goes for people who show off their privates to an unwilling viewer.

    Sexual harassment is a little different. To a certain degree, harassment is as much how someone interprets a behavior as it is how the perpetrator intended it. For example, a guy saying "You look hot in that dress," could be considered harassment by some women, and a compliment by others. You might think it is inappropriate thing to say, but fact is that not all women would be upset by such a statement. Until such a time as the woman (or man if he is the target of the comments) makes clear she doesn't want such behavior to continue, I don't think somebody's career should be ended because of some sort of poor judgement in what was said or done.

    Another gray area is consensual activity of a sexual nature, be it just kissing or going all the way. To the extent that one person makes the advance and the other went along with it, I say that the person who made the advance shouldn't have a career ended because of it. On the other hand, if the person said "no," and the person who made the advance repeatedly made more and more advances, then yes, that's creepy and he (or she) should be punished/fired/whatever. We live in a society in which men are culturally expected to initiate relationships or sex, and girls are supposed to wait for the boy to ask her. So, it doesn't seem right to punish a guy for being a guy; and it's sort of pathetic for a woman to claim sexual harassment simply because a guy asked her out on a date.

    As for what happens while on a date or similar "meet up" between a guy and a girl, reality of life is that guys sometimes try for more than the girl wants to give. As long as the guy honor's the girl's "no," I don't think his career should be over just because he made an attempt.

    I take special exception to the Harvey Weinstein accusers. Many of them said they went ahead and had sex with him because they knew if they did that they would get the part in a movie (i. e., money). Weinstein's bad behavior not withstanding, these women are nothing less than high-class whores -- they f***ed a guy in exchange for something of value.

  • It is extremely sad and unfortunate. However, I cannot say I'm surprised. Rich people usually have power as well, and they feel that they can get away with anything, because they usually can by bribing cops and judges. OF COURSE NOT ALL RICH AND/OR FAMOUS PEOPLE, before anyone gets pissy with what I said. But they can easily get away with many crimes if they wanted to.

  • well now that they are rich..

    im all for exposing stuff but its a bit convenient to do it well AFTER your success. notice its all people who are established. as if no new artists are getting assaulted. they are but they are not famous yet. they'll say something after they get famous, i guess.

  • Really sad. Fucked up people tend to exploit their fame to believe they can do whatever they want. If it`s all true, I really feel sorry for both parts. Yep, I said it.

  • Not Chuck Bass :((

  • If the accusations are true then I am not surprised. Especially given the higher risk of sociopathy in people who choose high profile careers or careers with a lot of recognition and power.

  • I don't know what to think about some of these harassment allegations, they just been come out left and right. The thing hate it about it the most is how most of these women are not just speaking up about it, but then were hanging around these men as if nothing happened.

  • To me, the allegations mean dick until there's evidence. In Weinstein's case, evidence came pouring out of every orifice. And most of the stories happened well after the statute of limitations.

    We need to have a reasoned approach to dealing with sexually inappropriate matters. Have allies in uncomfortable settings. Have more than one set of eyes or ears. Billy Graham had a point about this. And he used to get flack for it.

    We can't automatically ignore all allegations. On the same token, we can't go pulling out torches and pitchforks at the slightest hint; nor conflate every innocent advance with rape.

    This is literally why we have a justice system. And discretion. 19th-century women knew how to deal with unwanted suitors without equating them by default with rapists. Why can't modern women be so smart?

  • I don't think they should be Putting Rape and Sexual harassment allegations in the same category/group... they are 2 Very different things.

  • It is funny how Trump supporters put a political spin on everything. It is great that Hollywood is finally coming to terms with the sexual harassment that was so rampant. But as we all can see, other industries will continue to be totally resistant. Using the same old methods of intimidation, denial, and lies. I just hope that Hollywood keeps going, air all of the dirty laundry. If it can transform itself and actually start to practice what it has been preaching for decades, it can be a very positive place for people of different backgrounds.

    For years, I simply disliked many celebs because everything was always fake. Hollywood would scream about harassment or misconduct in other industries, knowing full well it was a disgusting place. Hollywood would point out a lack of diversity in the business community when it has been just as bad or worse.

    Now perhaps if can just take a long look in the mirror, we will actually see some changes.

    That is a good thing. But we will see. Many people have a problem with change. But some time it is necessary. And so far, the real power in Hollywood has been totally resistant to change.

    • Real power =jews?

    • @SuccessfulHornDog Maybe you could stop being passive-aggressive and just state your point?

  • They figure that since they have power, they can just do whatever they want with women, and of course, they'll deny everything. These are only the ones that got caught. Other celebrities are probably doing it right now.

  • After seeing this i no longer take "sexual harrasment" seriously unless they mention the accusation

    .
    Luckily this take specified the accusations but i notice its mainly rape and the severe ones. Lets hope the accusations are untrue.

    • you know most of these are fake no?

    • @kayeleva This one wasn't fake, originally the license plate was fully visible and it was uploaded under a different account.

    • how would you know i can but something like that in 10 minutes

  • I'm so glad aabout victims being able to reveal what they once were afraid to do so. I'm loving the way women are getting more courage.

    I am not denying that there isn't any false accusations, but unfortunately every time something becomes a hot topic, some parasites always spread rumors to add fuel to the fire. A major earthquake? News spreads that another big earthquake is coming and it is predicted by NASA. Lmao.

  • If they were so traumatized why did they wait all these years. Something wrong with people. What ever happened to stature of limitation?

    • Because most people wouldn't believe them and they felt ashamed. A lot of times victims trick themselves into believing it was something they did because most of the time they are just going on with their daily lives or out or doing business

    • Why should there even be a statute of limitation? Yes, if a law exists we're kind of bound to follow it, but why should a statue of limitation even exist? Time doesn't change anything

    • @Reach500 take a crime that happened in the 1950's the laws from then are different then the laws of now. Then they should be charge by 1950's law not todays. What about when a supposed crime happened, and there was no law for that crime. And yes I belive in the statute of limitations. It used to 7 or 10 years base by crime and law of that state. 7 to 10 years is plenty of time to speak up. But 30 or more years that is just stupid. Thats like prosecuting WW2 Nazi soldier now if any are still alive.
