It's really a case of 'twas ever thus, to be honest. Do you enjoy Wizard of Oz? Because Judy Garland was being drugged and molested by Louis B Mayer (the Mayer in Metro-Goldwy-Mayer). If it were to be revealed that she was raped on more than one occasion by him or any other studio guy, I wouldn't be shocked.

I don't think it's really a problem with Hollywood specifically. If anything, Hollywood is probably more morally upstanding on average than common society. The sad truth is that there are rapists, abusers, and pedophiles pretty much everywhere. We're just more likely to see them in Hollywood because Hollywood's job is literally being seen by everyone. This is a society-wide problem that we're probably going to need to spend the next century eradicating.

Are you seriously telling me you don't think sexual harassment is endemic to pretty much every big industry? The problem here is capital, and if anything I'd expect the film industry to be cleaner than average because so many people with left-leaning politics are involved in it. You're not hearing about all of the monsters in, say, the oil industry, because they're not surrounded by cameras all the time. These things thrive in shadows, and Hollywood has a huge loving spotlight pointed at it by definition.

It's absolutely a society-wide issue but lol that nominal liberal politics is a moderating factor, especially in an environment where massive amounts of money and influence can be leveraged over relatively disposable actors.

IMO anyone who supports the women of the animation industry should buy tickets to Coco and burn them. That way, you're supporting all of the talented Mexican and Latino artists who worked on the film, but you're also sending Disney a clear message. They let this happen for years and they can't come out of this thinking that that was acceptable.

It's been 4 and a half months and I'm still lolling that you think that giving Disney the money but not ever witnessing the art sends a clear message to Disney and also supports the artists.

Though I'm no fan of Penn, that story is likely bullshit. The first report on it was literally from a tabloid newspaper here in the UK. The police confirmed they were called to the residence but there was nothing to see. Madonna denied anything happened at the time and again stated nothing more than a petty argument occurred between them under oath not so long ago. No doubt Penn is probably a lovely partner, but I don't think he tied up Madonna and beat her as is usually claimed.

The tied her up and beat her part always seemed super suspect to me, but I have no problem believing that man probably has anger issues and slapped her around.

But yeah, whether he beat her or not he's always kind of come off as an rear end in a top hat. Good actor but an rear end in a top hat.

Sean Penn strikes me as the kind of pretentious douchebag who sits by a window, watching the rain fall and waiting for someone to ask him what he’s doing, just so that he can cryptically mutter “Hemmingway” and return to his silence.

Gawker (who else?) did probably the most comprehensive look at this (http://gawker.com/did-sean-penn-beat-up-madonna-an-archaeology-of-hollyw-1748746261) & while there's ambiguity around the exact details it's definitely more than "nothing actually happened"

Sorry, I thought it fit with his whole “writes a poem that makes Alec Baldwin’s take on ‘#metoo’ seem considered and decent” schtick.

Penn’s spent the last 20 years acting like he’s more “dangerous” and “genuine” and “iconoclastic” than the rest of Hollywood so I wasn’t surprised that he came out on the side of “unfairly vilified men” in the most stupidly pretentious way possible. Like, IIRC he posted a stupid poem when his dictator bff died too.

I’d read about the cult here-and-there, but buzzfeed has a pretty comprehensive article on it running at the top of the front page right now. And like, holy moly if even a fraction of what is there is true, it’s pretty drat mind blowing. Because if it is true, it is absolutely a real-deal cult-cult.

I've been reading up on Allison Mack's sex cult and learning about old Keith R aka VANGUARD. I don't understand how he managed to get a billionaire heiress, some actresses and more women to go with this dude. Plus going by his gamertag irl? Seriously, HOW? How did he even get far enough to have enough to black mail them and "brainwash" them?

It fronts as like some new age-y self help thing. So totally the kind of thing some actors and actresses would get way into. Allison Mack was alrdy granola as gently caress so she was probably an easy target after Kreuk (who was smart enough to get out) recruited her way back in the day.

After that I imagine it's like any cult and a lot of people are suspectible to that kind of stuff, esp if they think they're doing good for the world and if the leader has any charisma to keep his dumb message going and turn it sinister for the ones in the inner circle who he built up and made feel important.
