Non-Hollywood Sexual Assault & Sexual Harassment

[FrenchBug82]

Gropping a woman and apologizing to ... her husband is so doubly-s***y.
And yet so unsurprising.

Same.

They both got side-eyeing from me when it was uncovered that Chris had been in on strategy sessions for his older brother's sexual harassment allegations.

[amybrickwallace]

CNN should have fired him for that. That's inexcusable.

[DramatistDreamer]

Even though I don't watch CNN programming (other than the occasional presidential debate), I would agree that he should've been fired.

[amybrickwallace]

I don't either really, but I'll flip to it if MSNBC is in a commercial or a segment that doesn't interest me. Chris constantly having his brother on his show last summer struck me as conflict of interest and CNN didn't blink. I find it unsettling.

I only watched a couple seasons of So You Think You Can Dance and he struck me somewhat odd, even from a distance. He reminds me of a certain type of theater and performing arts person who is so overconfident in his/her/their abilities and importance that they freely "take liberties", even when it infringes on other people's boundaries, as they have no real boundaries themselves-they've never been to taught to have any regard for boundaries, as they've been told how massively talented they are--all their lives. I have both had to perform and work with these types. Better late than never, I guess.

He raped four young women and the judge, who apparently prayed before handing down the sentence claimed that he felt that jail time would be "inappropriate".

The tweets had pictures of the criminal and I didn't want to post his picture.

Regarding the Duggar family who have bunch of kids, and had a reality show, and consider themselves to be religious.

Here is a summary:

December 9, 2021

The jury has found Josh Duggar GUILTY on both charges of receipt and possession of child pornography.
He was taken into custody after the verdict was announced.
Sentencing will be in four months.

Josh's father, Jim Bob Duggar is running in a special election for a vacant state Senate seat in Northwest Arkansas.

Jim Bob Duggar is one of four Republicans seeking the party’s nomination. Early voting began Tuesday, December 7 and the primary is set for December 14. Jim Bob previously served in the Arkansas House.

A reporter caught up with Jim Bob as he was walking out of the courthouse after his son Josh was found guilty. The reporter ask Jim Bob for comment and if this would impact his run for state senate, and he did not reply.

[DramatistDreamer]

The media is too busy focusing on the many crimes of Jussie Smollett to pay anything more than minimal attention to pedos like Duggar.

Personally, I could care less about either but it is fascinating how hypocritical media can be, depending on the color of the perpetrator.

“With the Queen’s approval and agreement, the Duke of York’s military affiliations and royal patronages have been returned to the Queen. The Duke of York will continue not to undertake any public duties and is defending this case as a private citizen.”

"Returned to the Queen" means that the queen will take all those military affiliations and royal patronages back to herself .... and then she will redistribute them to the other members of the Royal Family.

Andrew will stop using the title 'His Royal Highness' in any official capacity. So technically he still has the title but won't use it.

All of this comes after a letter signed by more than 150 Royal Navy, RAF and Army veterans asked the Queen to strip Prince Andrew of his eight British military appointments.

The palace statement that Andrew is on his own as a private citizen to defend himself in the trial -- I guess the palace is *finally* acknowledging the problem?

Stripping Andrew of all those patronages and military honors, and letting him technically remain "his royal highness" without using the title...
That's *exactly* what the Queen did to Harry and Meghan last year.

Just sayin' that England rushed to disempower Harry and Meghan who did nothing wrong, they simply left the UK.

Yet they waited all this time to disempower Andrew. The denial was strong.

[DramatistDreamer]

At least Harry volunteered to give up his military titles, of course, it was reluctantly but he did it out of commitment to his wife and child, not because he molested a child.
