Bust Rodd posted:I gotta be honest that picture of them is creepy for sure but it’s creeping me out on a much deeper level because I’m sitting next to my 26 year old girlfriend she is a DEAD RINGER for the girl in the photo. As in I initially thought I saw a picture of her when I was going through Twitter and then I noticed that it couldn’t possibly be her but then I showed it to her and she got super freaked out because she also thought that I had Photoshopped her into a picture of Seinfeld. Their faces have extremely subtle distinction but otherwise it’s basically like a ghost twin from 30 years ago.

In the interview he goes further. He pretty much endorses the America's Got Talent work environment and passionately disputes the allegations because they're anonymous. I'm sure it's a big payday for him but he can just as well gently caress off. e: Gabrielle Union responds https://variety.com/2020/tv/news/gabrielle-union-terry-crews-americas-got-talent-sexism-racism-1203479244/ Vegetable fucked around with this message at 05:51 on Jan 27, 2020 |

This story got buried when the tweets first came out in June, but it's resurfaced lately: Multiple female ex-staffers have spoken publicly about abusive workplace practices at Hasan Minhaj's Patriot Act. When the story first emerged months ago, a few small news outlets sought comments from Minhaj but faced complete radio silence. Larger news outlets have also ignored these complaints when reporting, usually very positively, about the show's recent cancellation. I was reflecting on why nobody seems to care about these tweets. Part of the problem may be that the stories are pretty short on details. But in the case of Ellen, that didn't stop major news outlets from doing the legwork and interviewing dozens of current and former employees.

I was wondering what noted sexual assaulter Jeffrey Tambor was doing now. The good thing is the answer appears to be nothing, but Disney+ chose last August to release a lovely straight-to-Disney+ children's movie starring him, made in 2016. At least he's not getting any new work.

Cnut the Great posted:stuff But this armchair theorizing of how child molesters "really" work is absurd. Really? Come on. Not to mention, I don't understand how someone outside the situation can confidently assert that Woody Allen is innocent. Even the most charitable reading of this situation has to acknowledge that every character has some questionable level of reliability -- because they were children, because there was a bunch of complex contextual poo poo going on, because there are allegations directly contradicting each other, because abuse, as it is studied, is known to gently caress with someone's memory of things. At best you can say "Nobody except the people themselves know what happened." But somehow your response is, "Yeah of course he didn't loving do it." It smacks of intellectual pomposity, if not moral depravity.

It's clearly one of those documentaries that's very set on its version of the events. And that's not to say the narrative is false or that the filmmakers didn't do their due diligence. Maybe it's the price they have to pay for that kind of access to interview subjects. It'll probably be the documentary or book after this that'll tell the story in all its complexity.

Jessica Walter passed away recently. I'll never forget that New York Times interview with the cast of Arrested Development. It was an indelible cultural moment. Just days after being accused sexual assault, the predator in the room is defended vigorously by fellow white male cast members. They effusively volunteer excuses for him, interrupting the crying survivor of his bullying while she tries to explain her trauma. Gaslights her, jokes that they've all abused her before, tells her it wasn't a big deal. The only other woman in the room is also the only dissenting voice, and she gets in only about a single line before being talked over herself. I remember clicking into the interview innocuously as a fan of the show -- before the whole thing blew up -- and dropping my jaw at what transpired. If this was happening in a press interview, what the gently caress happens in backrooms?

That article is definitely too generous to Schneider. They're giving him the biographical treatment of "he wasn't a good student in school, he grew up admiring tv writers, what a complicated soul" when there's someone gesturing at his weirdly close relations with kids: "But some people who worked on Schneider’s shows, and asked for anonymity because they said they feared reprisal from him, said they viewed his chumminess with his young actors as awkward and odd for a powerful, middle-aged showrunner. Several recalled that he often spent time during the work day interacting with young fans online and, after work, texting child actors about silly matters of teenage internet life. Was it research? A desire to be popular? Former crew members recalled that Justice’s character had a locker on the set of “Victorious” decorated with photos of young men, alongside the words “dudealicious” and “who’s hot?” One of the photos was a headshot of a young Dan Schneider." Yes, the investigation turned up no further accusations or evidence, but "hmm maybe he was just living the childhood he never had" is some loving way to round that section off.

The music industry seems a bit more tolerant of assholes, rapists and pedophiles than the movie industry. I think it's a factor of music not being a visual medium and also the industry being more embracing towards edgy artistic material, which bleeds into a tolerance for the artists behind that kinda poo poo.

This isn't about Hollywood. But a longtime employee of The Broken Token, a popular maker of board game accessories, wrote a Medium post about the 10 years of sexual abuse and manipulation she faced and continues to face: https://medium.com/@ashrtaylor13/speaking-up-to-protect-others-73f152bcb772 She left the company but apparently it's happened to another employee, which prompted her to speak out.

Do you feel like you always have to say something? Why don't you just wait for the Rose McGowan press conference before deciding she's being manipulated or exploited or whatever. The spirit of Me Too is that you just shut up and listen for a bit. edit: mostly in response to this: King Vidiot posted:LOL! Yes, fighting the good fight, that Larry Elder. Also feel free to call me a racist or whatever you want to do to deflect from my actual issues with Elder and this political stunt.

This was posted in the Norm MacDonald tribute thread in GBS, and the thread starter promptly shut the thread. https://twitter.com/Mollyissilly/status/1437854467181977606 (click into the post to see more from the author) A related tweet I found: https://twitter.com/KerriLendo/status/1437865176481607680 I enjoyed Norm's material, but I also think that his reputation as a kind of hyper-edgy comic -- he "wanted laughter not applause" -- kind of helped fans brush over the stuff he said.

WaywardWoodwose posted:I'm not directing it at anyone in here, but in my personal life it feels like whenever something like this happens a lot of people jump out of the woodwork to say not only do they not like this person, THEY NEVER LIKED THEM, and i'm like, wait, you liked this two weeks ago, you re-watched this at my house even after i said i had already seen it, this was your halloween costume last year, and they just stone wall me. It feels so bizarre, and they act like I'm a piece of poo poo because I used to like Louis CK, even though I don't anymore. Like I was wrong for liking him back then, and it's some kind of lingering taint. Maybe some people just can't reconcile those emotions with their memory, or they don't want to feel like someone got one over on them? I don't even think it's something people necessarily need to debate and prescribe to each other about. We're not ever gonna agree on the extent to which you can separate art from artist. But it's important to ask yourself: I loved, I dunno, Polanski's movies, they had a big influence on me, he's clearly a hosed up dude, how do I deal with that moving forward? It's a personal journey. For me it's been a longstanding reminder not to lionize celebrities, to stop exalting works of art, to expect and embrace the fallibility of Great Men.

I don’t personally think the article made a meal of it, but I always wonder what’s the point of bringing up someone’s legal name. Can’t speak for anyone else but as an Asian person I’ve more than once been asked what’s my real name. For trans people the deadnaming is more often associated with hateful intentions, I’m sure. Let’s just call people what they wanna be called and move on from it.

Articles about this news keep bringing up Drew Barrymore’s response to the Lucy Liu incident and it’s just so lovely. She two-sides it by praising Liu for her bravery and then explaining away how Murray was just a comedian going through one of their usual moody phases. It must feel so isolating to speak up about a beloved Hollywood legend and then have your costar more or less downplay the whole thing.

Kate Moss just testified in the Heard-Depp trial. She was called as a witness by Depp’s team. She said the story that Depp pushed her down the stairs in the 1990s, which was reported in the press, is false. She slipped. In fact, Depp carried her up the stairs back to her room and got her medical help. She said Depp had never been abusive to her. Heard’s team previously cited this story and today declined to cross-examine Moss. There’s also been some testimony by “industry experts” from both sides about how big a star Heard really is — which would affect her claim to have lost work due to Depp’s claims. I thought Moss’s account about the alleged assault was directly relevant to the thread, but I hope people look at this in the broader context. There are still a slew of accusations about which there isn’t much clarity. Facts and claims will continue to tumble out. There’s no need to be a cheerleader.
