Hollywood Sexual Harrasment/Assault Thread

Ask not for whom the bell tolls:

Well, this is an honest take at least.

Yet, for ages, people have touted him as this sensitive, enlightened type.  A "thinking women's sex symbol," if you will.

 

Your job, Mr. Redford, WAS to do something about it.  Not just as a celebrity with enormous clout and box office appeal, but as a basic, decent human being.  It doesn't matter if it didn't "hit close to home," you still should have done something about it (besides "create an alternative," whatever the hell that means).  

 

But you were obviously more concerned with your own damn career than you were with protecting women who were being debased by men you were working with, and for.

 

IOW, Mr. Redford, you were complicit; and so, too, was every other man and woman in H'wood who KNEW what was happening, yet merely looked away.

 

RR doesn't get a pass from me, and he hasn't gotten a pass from me ever since I read about the BTS shenanigans on "The Way We Were" that proved he was just as much the preening diva as Streisand.  He's trash, and I hope his retirement after this latest film will be permanent.

When's the Cosby sentencing supposed to happen today? When will hear what he gets???

I'd love to hear that Cos will be eating all his Jell-O Pudding Pops from behind bars for many years to come.

Bravo seems insufficient, but I'll say it anyway. BRAVO!! 

And on a sidenote, who's been labeled difficult and an egomaniac --- Streisand, not Redford.......because she's a woman and he's a man.

Exactly.  I'm not suggesting the stories about Barbra Streisand are baseless, but I think it's telling how she (and other actresses) get vilified for the same kind of arrogant behavior that their male counterparts in the industry always get a pass for.  If Robert Redford is allowed to act like a jerk because he thinks Arthur Laurents' script makes him look like a wuss, then Streisand should get a pass as well for being overly controlling and demanding.

Try and mug your way out of THAT, Dr. Huxtable.

I agree completely.

[dragonflies]

He got 3-10 years. My bet, he dies in prison

[JaneAusten]

No bail either pending appeals. He's going to prison today.

I guess justice do prevail sometimes.

The singer-songwriter BØRNS (who recently worked with Lana Del Rey and whose “10,000 Emerald Pools” was licensed for a gazillion commercials) has been accused by several women of sexual misconduct when they were teenagers.
