Hollywood Sexual Harrasment/Assault Thread

Oh it will be, it'll the franchise in a big way. I have no doubt they'll do what she wants.

Me too. Women seemed to love this movie.  Seems like they would lose a lot of goodwill if they chose Rat over Gal.

I will make one prediction...Ronan Farrow will win a Pulitzer Prize for his essay/article which got this whole ball rolling. Ironic that the biological son of Woody Allen would be the one to do this.

The rumor is Ronan Farrow Frank Sinatra son.

Yes, but I don't know if any DNA tests were performed. Though I do recall reading that when the whole Woody Allen scandal first broke, both of Mia's ex-husbands (Andre Previn, who along with Mia adopted Soon-Yi during their marriage; and of course Frank Sinatra) implied that they would have loved to kill Woody.

I read somewhere that he  is no longer going to be involved with the films but will still make a profit from them, or the first one, and that she wants that cut off as well (for him to be bought out, I guess). I'm not sure if it's true or not.

Here's an article about the #MeToo March:

If ever someone needed to appear on "Maury"....

[DRW50]

I've always kind of assumed he and Mia are willing to go along with that idea because they loathe Woody so much (with good reason). Some people think he tries to make himself look like Frank. I don't think that's the case, I think there's some resemblance, but there's also a resemblance to Woody. 

 

I do hope he gets something for this story. Before now I had just thought of him as yet another gadfly on a worthless cable channel, but he did a lot of hard work with this story, and stuck to it even when he and his family were dragged through the mud. 

[amybrickwallace]

 

Yes, and he deserves a lot of credit for that. 

 

😨😨😨😨😨😂😂😂😂😂

He looks like Frank!

We shouldn't forget about Tisha Campbell and her lawsuit when Martin Lawrence sexually harassed her on the set of Martin.  She said he used to shove his tongue in her mouth.  She won, quit but was asked back and filmed when Lawrence wasn't on the set.

Then, just to make sure Maury and his studio audience get that point, Mia Farrow runs to the monitor at the back of the stage and points repeatedly at the facial similarities between her son and Ol' Blue Eyes.  ("Look at their noses, Maury, look at their noses!!")

 

(Maury: "Up Next: The DNA Results Are Read!  Will Ronan and Mia receive the news they've been waiting for?  And later on in our broadcast, it's another, star-studded DNA drama, as we learn, once and for all, who is the biological father of "Stranger Things" star Sean Astin!")

This story has been making the rounds. It's long but a must-read.

This shouldn't be the thing that pisses me off the most in this article, yet somehow it is:

As John Oliver has noted, the actor Casey Affleck — accused by two women of sexual harassment during filming (charges he denies) — will be giving out the Best Actress statue at the next Oscars.
