A certain Sunset Beach alum makes an appearance in the above article.

Now allegations are being made about Noel’s DW days and John Barrowman has also been named (for exposing himself—which we’ve known for years—he admits to “tomfoolery”):

I have already said this but I have wondered just how toxic the atmosphere was on the first season of Doctor Who. The main reason Christopher Eccleston quit was apparently due to a director, but I wonder...

 

Barrowman has skirted the line for years now.

I think it was the entire institutional environment - IIRC the claim was he had a huge problem with the director of Aliens of London/World War III, Keith Boak (who did not return AFAIK), but that he also felt Phil Collinson, RTD, etc. had failed to back him up or support him on the issue.

Thanks. I shouldn't cloud the Clarke allegations with other matters, but hearing about them just makes me even more wary of what was going on at the time.

[Vee]

Oh, I think it's very worth talking about Barrowman.

I've always found something a little off about him, even before the rumors started going around, but now I just find everything about him terrifying.

Scott Rudin sounds pure evil. This is the most stomach-churning article yet:

I definitely did not go into that expecting stories about multiple people being shoved from moving cars. 

 

The article is incredibly stomach-churning, but is a valuable lesson in remembering no matter how much some celebrities may get headlines for bucking the system - they still keep quiet in the face of such malevolent power.

I’ll definitely not look at Frances McDormand the same way.
