Wow, you know I can hear you right?

Emily Nestor, who was on the record in Ronan Farrow's New Yorker Harvey Weinstein harassment story, has just released a statement saying that she was prepared to be on the record but NBC was "not interested" pic.twitter.com/uJXvroG7Gl

One of the grossest things I’ve ever seen on Twitter was Vanessa Macil shouting out her love for Haim Saban’s wife. Vanessa who’s known me more than 20 years and knew full well what I’d been thru. #ThankyouVanessa

I honestly don't believe Benard meant anything malicious with that statement. 

Yeah, I think he was referring to her admission that she had retired from acting, not that she was outing the men who basically forced her into it.

I don't think he was being malicious, either. But Brown clearly finds him responsible or culpable for something.

Well, she did spill a few months ago that Benard and Burton were making 3xs her salary back in the CarSaSon hey Day. 

Given that CBS has been on a gradual decline for years, I wondered when Moonves would finally go, but it's still odd to me this is the way it will be.

I don't think it's a shot at him -- I think she's being playful. And he is being sincere in his statement. A few weeks back (on her timeline) he said something similar and she tweeted him back super-friendly. I don't think she meant anything damning towards him.

"Odd" doesn't even BEGIN to describe this, Carl.

 

I'm not surprised he gets to leave with a "golden parachute" for being such a repugnant bastard...but that doesn't mean I'm not outraged by it all.  I mean, he got to remain as CEO while the investigations were underway, which was bad enough.  But, even now, with the heat still turned on, he'll get to leave -- not in handcuffs, not in total disgrace, as it should be -- but with a $100 million payout?  And they're actually debating whether that number should be HIGHER?  Are these people [!@#$%^&*] kidding?

 

If you are truly remorseful for your inappropriate behaviors toward these women, Les, and for the effects they have had on their careers and lives, then, at the VERY least, you should opt to step down, with NO payouts.  Better yet, take the money and give it all away to charitable organization that benefit women's causes.  It's not like you NEED the cash anyway.

He'll probably need it when Julie cashes out.

 An 'internal investigation' which gives him a $100mn golden parachute and absolves all the other CBS execs of any knowledge or wrong-doing! "We had no clue this was going on blah blah."  This is institutionalised sexual harassment and assault, everybody. They all knew, they set up the system that way to benefit them and their coercing women into sexual favors. They covered for him, and for themselves. The assistants knew and covered, the junior execs knew and covered, the legal departments printing off NDA after NDA all knew too. This is exactly the same set-up as Harvey Weinstein -- and on a similar scale.

This in a nutshell! He should be facing charges by the NYPD and LAPD (though he prob has high-ranking influence there too). Instead he's going out a billionaire. What a slap on the wrist!

And you know she will, lol.

 

(Not that I'm empathizing w/ Julie, because I'm not.  Even if, IMO, it would serve him right to be hauled into divorce court.  But she hitched her wagon to his for a reason; and chances are, she, like Melania (and Ivana and Marla) and Camille Cosby and Georgina Chapman before her, knew what kind of man he was long before now.)

This world's priorities are so screwed up right now.  People be frothing in delight at seeing little Latino children in cages in the blazing Texas desert ("That'll teach em!") -- but boo-hooing about gun owners not allowed to put silencers on military-grade assault rifles.

 

Keep fighting the good fight, Colin! Freedom of THOUGHT is what it is all about!
