Members DramatistDreamer Posted November 21, 2017 Members Share Posted November 21, 2017 Is it too much of an assumption to guess that John Lasseter taking a leave of absence might be the basis of the next story of misconduct? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members amybrickwallace Posted November 21, 2017 Members Share Posted November 21, 2017 Norah and Gayle were deeply shaken delivering that story this morning, but glad that they were clear in saying that they believed the women who spoke out (and Charlie himself didn't deny it). Julie Chen on The Talk (herself a CBS News alum) was visibly upset when that topic was brought up this afternoon. On a side note, I asked my mom today if she had heard about Charlie Rose. She hadn't. After I told her, she said that she wouldn't be surprised if the only male left at PBS who hasn't harassed a woman is Big Bird!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Faulkner Posted November 21, 2017 Members Share Posted November 21, 2017 The Washington Post has been killing it with this story. Smart that they've taken down the paywall for it. Maybe they'll get some new subscribers out of this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted November 21, 2017 Members Share Posted November 21, 2017 Roy Moore and his ilk give true, God-fearing people who genuinely love Jesus such a bad name. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2017/11/21/politics/roy-moore-kayla-kisor-15-years-old/index.html For the record, the man who I thought was my friend was over 20 years older than I. He cornered and propositioned me in his home not 30 minutes after Sunday services and after we had both taken communion. Adding insult to injury: https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2017/11/21/politics/roy-moore-campaign-allegations/index.html 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Khan Posted November 22, 2017 Members Share Posted November 22, 2017 Now we see why the Scientologists told him he hadn't "gone clear." Please register in order to view this content 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted November 22, 2017 Members Share Posted November 22, 2017 (edited) That one's a shame. I always liked him on Melrose Place, and had a new respect for him after the HBO Scientology expose.

Members DRW50 Posted November 22, 2017 Members Share Posted November 22, 2017 Insiders say Beghe’s explosive temperament has been an issue over P.D.’s nearly four-year run and that the investigation opened last year was long overdue. One source told of incidents of stunts and other altercations with Beghe that got far too physical and left actors injured. Yikes. I don't think this is the first time recently someone has complained about an actor injuring them from being too aggressive with stunts. Between this and the whole thing with Dylan O'Brien's bad injuries I am starting to wonder if someone is going to clamp down on the mentality of actors wanting to do their own stunts or being pushed into doing their own stunts to save a few bucks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ChitHappens Posted November 22, 2017 Members Share Posted November 22, 2017 Did we leave out the women's Olympic team and their allegations of sexual abuse by the team doctor? Raisman Maroney Douglas All allege Dr. Nassar molested them during physicals. The deets are pretty despicable. He denies the charges but will more than likely change his plea before trial. He's currently serving time for possessing child porn! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted November 22, 2017 Members Share Posted November 22, 2017 (edited) On top of that, I just read that PBS and Bloomberg will no longer distribute his show. IOW, Charlie Rose's career is over. This is all starting to remind me of Chekhov's "The Cherry Orchard" and the recurring, off-stage sound of trees being chopped down and cleared ("the sound of a string breaking," as it's written in one translation) as the family who owns the orchard realizes (or doesn't realize) their entire way of life is disappearing. Whenever another notable gets exposed as a sexual predator, it's like hearing another string break. ETA: I'm hearing that CBS is looking to Oprah to fill Rose's chair on "CBS This Morning," if only temporarily.

Members ChitHappens Posted November 22, 2017 Members Share Posted November 22, 2017 I heard about the CBS offer to Winfrey as well. According to sources on Twitter, they are begging Ope to come on board. I hope she does it but as a stipulation in the contract, is allowed to name her replacement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
