Hollywood Sexual Harrasment/Assault Thread

You certainly did.

 

Damn.

 

Even I, the misanthrope, am having a hard time with the "damned human race" these days.  All these allegations about all these monsters is showing me a side of human nature I NEVER enjoy seeing.

My heart breaks for all that both Coreys(Haim and Feldman) went through as children and as adults.

Mine too.

 

Todd Bridges recently posted this on Twitter. It's heartbreaking when you realize that all three were sexually abused as children.

Seems like Charlie's penchant for young boys was one of Denise Richard's concerns when they divorced. She was disturbed by the gay porn he was watching online because the males looked really young.

Interesting take on why R. Kelly is basically getting away with victimizing young women.

Oooooooo

 

 

You sure did.

Just...WOW. This is turning into a Pandora's Box

 

@Khan *HUGS* I feel ya on that.

I think I have a pretty good idea of why R. Kelly has been able to get away with it all these years.

I'm one of those who was never able to 'get onto' his music, despite his talent but obviously there were many women who felt differently. Kelly was one of the most requested songwriters around for quite a number of years.  Google how many singers/songwriters worked with him over the decades. It is quite a list and it wasn't just men.

The fact that so many were willing to overlook his predatory reputation in order to get a 'hit' song, says quite a lot. If he weren't making a lot of money for a bunch of people, his career would've been put down (and he possibly in jail) a long time ago.

^ The money issue makes a lot of sense. This article is arguing that we don't support all victims equally. I'm sure it's a combination of those things.

Well, there goes my enjoyment of all episodes of "Murder, She Wrote" featuring Knepper.

Another insane twist to the Kevin Spacey fallout.

 

Ridley Scott plans to completely cut Spacey out of the already finished "All the Money in the World," recast him with Christopher Plummer, and completely reshoot all of his scenes.

 

The film is set for a December 22 release, and Scott is determined to have the film finished and ready for that date. Which is CRAZY.

I've rarely heard of anything like this. Wow. Has this happened before?

 

This movie was getting a big push for Oscar hype so I guess that's one of the reasons why they're going this route (and Ridley's had a few flops lately so that's another reason).

 

Christopher Plummer is a good choice.

 

Now Jeffrey Tambor is being investigated:

I've heard of some wild shït in my time but the Spacey switch takes the cake.

[Faulkner]

It's being reported that Plummer was Ridley's first choice to play Getty anyway, but the studio wanted "a bigger name," forcing Spacey on him. Funny how it all "worked out" in the end...the makeup job on Spacey for the role looked ridiculous.
