Hollywood Sexual Harrasment/Assault Thread

[amybrickwallace]

Matt Lauer, especially in light of the Ann Curry situation, just comes across as a man who hates women. He uses them to suit his own purposes and then turns on them when he perceives something they do is "wrong". He has three kids who are old enough to understand what is going on. What kind of example is he to them? 😠

Lauer and his wife allegedly live separate lives; the rumored Natalie Morales affair was a dealbreaker, I guess?

I remember The Frugal Gourmet also and was shocked when I finally learned why he had disappeared from PBS.

The Matt Lauer news does NOT surprise me at all honestly. He's always come across as very smarmy.

Where's a vomit emoji when you need one?

This makes me so mad I could scream. Seriously, I'm seeing red right now. I wouldn't be at all surprised if Geraldo has a few skeletons in his closet. 😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠

One of those "skeletons" is publicly known:

It's ridiculous!  Having a colleague expose himself is a courting ritual? Having them send you a sex toy is a courting ritual? Unbelievable.

[amybrickwallace]

It's especially hurtful because I posted about my own experience upthread, and the man gave me a present...a vibrator and KY jelly. To this day, I get nauseous whenever a KY commercial comes on when I'm watching TV. 

 

For Geraldo to open up his stupid trap and say hurtful things like this is not at all surprising. Still, it negates everything everyone who has ever been abused, groomed, assaulted and harassed has endured. It's sickening and infuriating.

[Juliajms]

I'm sorry. This whole thing has to be so triggering for you and other victims. I hope every single one of these sick men get what's coming to them.

Thank you. Yes, there have been a lot of triggers. It's tough, it really is. But if there is an upside, it's that people are talking. A lot of eyes have been opened. As my therapist has said, victims the world over know that they are not alone.
