Who Will Be The Next Weinstein To Drop? (Part II)

Link to Part I

My money is on James Franco. He's got a new movie coming out and the media isn't going to let his past behavior slide in the current climate .

Will there be more John Travolta accusations?

more....MORE...MOOORRREE

I need more people lives destroyed by the masses!

Gotta love the Repug idiot above whining about "SJWs" - using that word pretty much guarantees that you have a single digit IQ, by the way. Are you Morrissey? Guys like Spacey and Weinstein have it easy. If they were poor they would be serving time in prison, but they get to go to "sex rehab" and do yoga all day.

Gary Busey- I vaguely recall perv rumors about him.

Matt Damon, McG, Pat Sajak

From rumors I've been hearing:

Geffen

Bryan Singer (again)

Spielberg

Andy Cohen

Barry Diller

Michael Eisner

Travolta (again)

David O. Russell

Alec Baldwin

more about Trump, the Clintons, Oliver Stone, Jann Wenner, Danny Masterson, Steven Seagal, Russell Simmons

^ Oliver Stone and Steven Seagal are huge shits, so this makes me happy

I would love it if David O. Russell was brought down.

[quote] more about Trump, the Clintons,

Now I wonder who Hillary molested.

Geffen, Spielberg and Simon Cowell.

Donna Karan's comment about how women dress was quickly snuffed and shamed.

But there is a disconnect with the majority of women altering their appearance as much as possible to look like porn actresses, dressing in clothes two sizes too small for all occasions, then crying harassment and assault when men approach them or say anything sexual.

R13, it doesn't matter if a woman is a full-time prostitute, that still doesn't give anyone the right to rape her or to require sexual services as a condition of employment. Or to maul her and call it a joke, for that matter. I know this goes totally counter to your normal way of thinking, but the fact is that women have dignity and rights, even the whores.

Contrary to what they told you in Saudi Arabia, it's not actually okay to call a women who's having more sex than you are a whore, and to abuse her in any way you like.

Bravo! R14

Photographer Bruce Weber ...open secret in fashion for years

Bruce Wayne

Word is that Matt Lauer is next.

Come on r14 - how is a guy - especially a straight heterosexual guy supposed to even ASK a woman on a date these days -forget about having sex. It is absurd and it will backfire.

[quote] even the whores

not really

David Fincher

Not Baldwin. Every woman I know who worked with him loved him. He's amazingly considerate in the work place.

R14. Women reveal how whorish and attention-seeking they are when they leave the house looking like complete sluts

Deny all you want, the average American woman looks ridiculous, as if she shops in the junior section.

Ass crack, muffin top, forearm tattoos, tramp stamp and fake lips on display - good to go!!!

All of these chaste, virginal damsels in distress...

R14. Yes it does. If it looks like a whore, and sounds like a whore, she's a whore.

Simple deduction.

R14. Weinstein and all of these men are native U.S. citizens so you clearly need to widen the circulation of your "Women aren't really whores" memo.

What about Bryan Fuller?

R19, asking a woman out is really simple, even these days. Just don't grab or threaten her, and don't be her boss. Duh.

It really is hilarious how threatened some guys are by this flap. It's like if they don't feel free to intimidate women without fear of repercussion, their dicks shrivel up.

R13 It makes sense to me why certain straight guys would have this sort of mindset (I imagine most of them are creepy, bitter MRA types who like the idea of women getting harassed and abused for being "teases"), but for the life of me, I don't understand why a gay male would. Envy, perhaps?

Of course some women are whores, R27, and so are some men! But what you don't realize is that you aren't better than the whores, and here in the civilized world you have no right to punish them for being whores.

Oh, you don't have to like them, but if you rape a known whore or try to intimidate them, you'll face the same legal penalties as if you'd been abusing a nun. And just so you know, if you try to conduct any sort of social-condemnation campaign against a whore or whores, the majority of people will probably side with the whores. Look at the present situation, nobody's defending Weinstein except a few crazies, everyone's siding with the women even though they obviously aren't nuns.

he's got that donnie wahlburg hair thing goin' on. i HATE that. why can't guys who do this just be bald? i hate that pointy hair thing in front. trust me it doesn't help your look.

R13, what R31 said.

Here here r31. And to the people saying women dress like sluts these days? So the fuck what.

Plenty of guys are pigs, and it's not about women dressing slutty. Look at all the gay pigs who harass other men like Travolta, Singer, Spacey.....

R34 Men treat women like sluts these days because they dress like one - so the fuck what?

Some of you think you're at a Broadway show withl the "bravos" and "here heres"

Where? Where?

R37 is common.

Let it be Michael Bay

When will these men be arrested?

Denzel Washington

In Oz last yesterday, a once huge lifestyle/garden tv icon from the eighties and nineties was outed as being a huge bully and harasser. He had a near twenty year run and was hugely popular and profitable at the time. Women who complained at the time were told basically that he was worth a lot of revenue - and themselves - not so much. His name was Don Burke for anyone interested and his career is but a memory now - so he’ll have to find his own dough to pay for any legal response to accusations now (he was interviewed on two news shows here last night and already between tapings his story had altered somewhat. Slippery, fake bastard!)

Also - gather that one journalist - herself the subject of workplace abuse when younger - is taking up the Roman Farrow mantle here in Australia and is digging behind the scenes to see if anyone is willing to go on the record about rumours of abusive behaviour in the local entertainment industry.

One target in particular is very well known internationally and considered a bit of a national treasure. If many come forward it’ll blow people’s minds. Have heard rumours that he’s even doing a Weinstein in as far as his lawyers are contacting people who may be victims of his bad behaviour - and doing their best to discourage any unpleasant revelations... At this stage - no idea if it’ll get out into the public domain. But certainly there are moves afoot...fingers crossed!

[quote]One target in particular is very well known internationally and considered a bit of a national treasure

Well, it sounds like Russell Crowe, but it wouldn’t surprise anyone to discover he was an abuser or harasser. And you could be referencing Hugh Jackman, could you? He has a sterling reputation as a nice guy.

Who else is an Aussie national treasure who’s internationally well known?

R44, I immediately thought of Russell Crowe.

There was an article written about him in the early 2000 by a female reporter for some high profile magazine. I really felt sorry for her because it sounded like she underwent hell when she visited him on his ranch.

Well, that’s what I mean, r46. I read the same article, and on top of that, Crowe has a reputation for his ugly temper. I can’t imagine anyone’s minds being blown if it starts to come out that he’s abusive. It would be more shocking to find out he’s actually been a nice guy this whole time.

R45, 46 & 47 -

Nope. Crowe is hardly a ‘national treasure’ here! He’s liked by many - but not universally! - and many think he’s both pretentious - and a yob. He’s done well for himself though - so snaps to him. I haven’t heard rumours that would indicate he harassed anybody - and in his younger days women fell all over themselves to get with him (which became a huge joke here as allegedly some who were successful compared notes - and discovered he says ‘Go Russell, go!’ when he cums. Word got around. And true or false - it became a bit of a catchphrase. Dunno in the end if he would have been embarrassed or flattered that it did.

Not Jackman either. Too young for national treasure status. And only ever heard good things about him professionally over the years.

Of course - who knows what this investigation here will turn up? But haven’t heard anything untoward about either of them.

You’ll have to try harder than that... c’mon. You can do it...

That Crocodile Dundee Guy?

Nope R49 - try again.

(Having said that - who knows what will surface? But so far haven’t heard anything about the Crowe, Wolverine or crocodile Dundee...)

R50 Barry Humphries aka Dame Edna?

R50 - again - who knows what could come out! - but right now - Humphries is not the person under a cloud here.

Apparently there have been lots of allegations of misdeeds by this individual from many different women - but whether enough of them are prepared to put their names to the accusations...time will tell. But pretty sure some will!

Rod Laver? The bald singer from Midnight Oil who went into politics?

Bryan Brown, Simon Baker, Eric Bana, Peter Weir, Bruce Beresford, George Miller

So, who is it???

Pat Cash, Keith Urban

Greg Norman?

Hopefully not Sam Neill?

Oops, he's a New Zealander, of course!

No one will be arrested is my prediction. Very few sex assaults are prosecuted without a confession. The statistics are stunning.

R14 Nice post!

Arnold was a notorious grabber and gropper, so he wouldn’t surprise me. Certainly more Travolta victims will come forward. Tommy Mottola-it was creepy with Mimi & then that other Latina girl that he wifed-up, The cockgobbler likely has a few groping victims. Prince & MJ. Wrestling figures.

Does the Australian 'national treasure' live in England?

"Australian National Treasure": Yahoo Serious.

Duh.

Heya! It’s morning here in Oz - and I’m awake and onboard again...

Amazed at all the Australian names they’ve been put forward as possibilities - some of ‘em have been dug out from deep in the woodwork -

And yet none of them are the person that’s been referred to in my original post.

Which really does make me think there’ll be a lot of shock here when it drops cos it’s so unexpected.

I don’t wanna preempt the hard work the investigative journalists are doing too much. Seems unfair! But will give another clue: it’s someone from the entertainment industry (as opposed to sport, literature and the arts, or politics).

And not saying that any of the other names mentioned might also end up being involved - but none of them are on the radar so far.

(Really don’t know who else will turn out to have been culpable over the years. If any of you here are also from Oz and are following the saga, one of the journalists - Tracey Spicer - originally tweeted for people’s stories about two men here in the entertainment industry who are notorious abusers. She and another colleague were inundated with people telling them about Don Burke - who wasn’t on their radar at all. So you really don’t know who else is gonna end up outed for bad behaviour. I think It’ll take longer for them to get info from people who are willing to go on record about the two men they originally were investigating - the guys are still working in the industry and are heavy hitters compared with Burke - who has long since retired and faded from the public consciousness. Incidentally - how fucking disgusting is Burke? Especially galling is his ‘explanation’ for being vile: he’s just been diagnosed as having Aspergers - SELF-diagnosed mind you! - so he’s not very good at reading other people’s body language and social signals, etc. FUCKER! I know several actual people with Aspergers and none of them behave in anything like that way! He’s doing a Spacey - when Spacey threw gay people under a bus. Arsehole. Hope he ends up ruined.)

r64 Peter Weir?

R64 -

Nope. Again - he’s not the man on the radar here.

The guys posting about slutty women sound straight. Are they coming here because their angry virgin reddit group got closed?

Anthony LaPaglia, Geoffrey Rush, Guy Pearce, Hugo Weaving????

Phar lap!

Nick Cave? Rick Springfield?

R67, most definitely. Most straight guys LIKE slutty clothes on women. The ones that don't are the tiny penised, MRA incel types who have no chance in hell of ever getting laid.

Helen Reddy? Olivia Newton John? The Crocodile Hunter's daughter?

Jason Donovan?

On a more serious note, could it be that dickbag Mel Gibson?

Or (and I'd really hate this to be true), Geoffrey Rush?

Yes I think it is Geoffrey Rush. Notice how the Australian never denied r68's list the way he did the others.

Now speaking of Australians, does anyone remember how Anthony Rapp's RENT co-star - the Jew everyone wanted to sleep with - was rumored here to have been allegedly seduced by Hugh Jackman?

Is Rush really considered a national treasure in Oz, though? No offense, but you know what I mean.

Is a writer considered part of the entertainment industry?

It seems as if post-Thanksgiving people have moved on from sex assault scandal mania. Obviously it's still out there, but I just don't see the interest from even just a week ago.

Barry Gibb (although really English), one or both of the Young brothers

Nick Cave is the only mention who’s an Aussie national treasure... hope it’s not him.

What about The Wiggles? Are they national treasures?

Jack Thompson - very famous in Australia, known (but not super well-known) internationally. In the 1970s he was very open about his poly-amorous setup with two sisters. He's still married to one of them I think but the other did some interviews a couple of years ago saying she looks back and realises she was being taken for a fool. He posed for a centrefold. I'm not trying to be judgemental - perhaps he's just "bohemian" but pieces would fall in to place.

Matt Lauer

Really R78?

This guessing game is stupid. Names, or stay off the thread. I say David Fincher is next.

I also think Fincher or David O. Russell is next.

Hey guys! Busy day yesterday - apologies!

But we have a winner(s)!

R68, 74 abd 75 called it.

Just starting to break now here in the media. Supposedly only the one claim - so far! - and many jumping in to deny it could be possible. It just couldn’t be!

Suspect that the one media outlet has got in now, to scoop the two other journos who were methodically trying to build a solid, cogent case.

I was shocked when I initially heard the stories - as he is supposedly one of the good guys! - and well on the trajectory to national treasure status. But I think there’s more to come...

Should hear more over next few days.

Robin Roberts is next.

Refer to R18. What did I tell you?

Congrats, R74/R75.

I know Steve Harvey has cheated on his wives. But, I wonder if there is a much darker side to him.

He is an acolyte of Donald Trump. Of course there has to be more crap out there.

Reaction to my tweets today on #sexharassment makes clear I didn't sufficiently explain that this is a horrendous problem long hidden-Harassers are deviants who deserve what is coming to them-Often victims are too frightened to come forward in a timely fashion-I humbly apologize

OK NOW..............I am STILL not satiated! I want more legendary men of seemingly never-ending success, DESTROYED!

Legendary men of ever-ending success? No, just a bully in the right place at the right time. Matt was thisclose to being a landscaper before his lucky break.

Singer should be the next

The Rush situation is interesting here. Apparently the original piece in Oz press was pulled - legal issues. He’s got his lawyers onto it. Whether there are enough people willing to come forward and go on record with accusations remains to be seen. I suspect that if you’re an actor and do so - that will be your career done. It’s a small pond and a closed shop. I think our libel laws are stricter too. On the upside - he’s an international celebrity - so international press coverage isn’t as restricted...

And from what I hear - it isn’t just isolated incidents.

Interestingly, the local sleeze/ bully/abuser who was outed here the other day - Don Burke -pleaded innocence - and Aspergers! - and couldn’t why ‘so many people were out to get him’ - and assumed they were disgruntled former staffers with axes to grind...

Which really pissed off one of our former Olympic swimming champions - herself a minor icon - who was disgusted by his behaviour when he was there to interview her for his show. She was gobsmacked and complained to the tv network management and made a fuss at the time. She came forward now to point out she wasn’t a disgruntled employee and had no axe to grind. He was only in her life for a short time for an interview (where she was standing next to a painting - by her husband - of a flower. And appropos of nothing, Burke asked her if her cunt was as big as the flower. In front of his crew. Just out of the blue...) Fucking psycho!

I feel certain that Guy Fieri must be some kind of sex pest.

Good work to the DLer who called Lauer on Friday!

Australian defamation laws are a lot stricter than the US, from memory we don’t even have the “truth” defence (ie, the publication has complete protection of what they write about someone is true). Mind you this was 20 years ago studying media at uni, my memory is a little foggy.

I’ve had experience working in the Australian media machine and can confirm there are more than a few truly rotten eggs. I’m waiting for the dominos to fall, because they will.

My sister, a social worker, told me about Don Burke years ago - the social worker grapevine. He was a known sleaze and dirtbag. The only other gossip I remember is that some ex-footballer who does the NIB health insurance ads on tv (Paul something?) is a wife beater. But then, so many of them are.

I've got my fingers crossed that there's a special report done on Cory Bernardi soon.

Oh R105 - don’t be such a wicked tease! In my DREAMS they will get some dirt on the real Bernardi! You just look at the guy and know he’s a self righteous, sanctimonious, hypocrite - the evil totally shines through!

More stuff appearing in the press about Rush this morning - two young actors have come out in support of the victim and said it all happened as stated. Very brave of them - gotta think that’s probsbly it for me their own career trajectories now :(

I’ve heard also about another, much younger Oz celeb as well - who is so far off the radar. tick tick tho...

Rumors are going around that NBC is covering up incidents of Ted Danson molesting the robot on The Good Place.

[quote] disconnect with women altering their appearance as much as possible to look like porn actresses, dressing in clothes two sizes too small for all occasion

It's no disconnect. These harassing pigs that run the show want them to dress like that. Do you think they can dress in normal clothes?. The ho look is part of the backlash against genuine feminism. That was when it started. Hollywood pigs demand that they dress that way.

Saying a female deserves to be raped or harasssed because she dresses slutty is like saying someone deserves to be car jacked because they drive a Ferrari. I don't understand why people can't understand the concept of consent. I've been sexually abused, harassed, and traumatized. I've also been held up at gunpoint twice. The robberies were nothing compared to the sexual trauma.

r11 hillary molested all of us with her janus-face and her rictus smile. what a phony.

that dark haired chick from muriel's wedding humped me from behind in a montreal gay bar, and she grabbed my junk.

John Goodman. But this better not delay the Roseanne reboot.

R109 " is like saying someone deserves to be car jacked because they drive a Ferrari."

That I happen to agree with.

author J.M. Barrie

7 dark secrets about the real Peter Pan include suicide and pedophilia

1. J.M. Barrie stole his own "lost boys" According to Piers Dudgeon, the author of Captivated: J.M. Barrie, the Du Mauriers & the Dark Side of Neverland, Barrie manipulated his way into the lives of Sylvia and Arthur Llewelyn Davies, the parents of three boys, George, Jack and baby Peter. Barrie apparently lavished gifts on the family and spent hours with the boys having adventures in the park and making up stories.

Megan Ellison

I don't think Megan Ellison will ever drop. She has much more money and resources than Weinstein.

She only has money (her father's money actually). She doesn't have any deep connections to Hollywood so I don't see anyone powerful protecting her.

True, R148, the Old Boy Network may protect their own, but they're not going to protect an unglamorous lesbian.

She's not a predator.

r150 the allegation re: Ellison was casting couch, not abuse.

Megan Ellison has creepy predator look, but I think it's just casting couch with her.

Huh? What's so creepy looking about her? She just looks like a typical soft butch.

Puffy?

SCHNEIDER

I AM STILL NOT SATISFIED!!!!!!!!

MORE NAMES NOW

I think there will be a couple of more scandals that will break before the end of the year. It will probably be another Broadway scandal.

I do hope Jane's Franco and Casey Affleck are the next to fall, they annoy me SO much.

Or maybe the Apatow crew? Not that I've heard anything bad about them, I just want them to all stop making movies.

R159 Franco is in the Apatow crew. I vaguely recall some rumor about Jonah Hill being a perv. I also can't stand the Apatow and his crew. Apatow is a fake male feminist who is always trying to win points with people.

[quote]Huh? What's so creepy looking about her? She just looks like a typical soft butch.

She has creepy eyes and facial expressions. She seems to be on the spectrum.

John Skipper, CEO of ESPN and UNC alum, unexpectedly resigned today citing a substance abuse problem. The inside word, however, is that the real issue is along the lines of Weinstein/Spacey/Lauer. (High level execs may go into rehab & take a leave of absence for substance abuse but they don't typically resign.)

^ When I heard about Skipper I wondered the same thing

r182 Bill Simmons will be thrilled.

James Franco is the next

r182 ESPN was a hotbed of career fucking and power sex. Untangling that from real harassment/assault is going to be difficult. I wonder if he resigned or he "resigned"?

Jemele Hill is defending him on twitter, which gives me pause if he's an alleged abuser on the level of any of those three men. Then again, she continues to work there, so she's obviously ambitious.

Surprised there aren't more televangelists being fingered.

I don't know R181, Haggis left the $cienos. You know the media wrath they can inflict.

WHO ELSE?????

We never found out the details re Leonard Lopate?

He was the only accused one I liked!

Now that Singer is trying to absolve himself of responsibility via killing himself, I hope Max Landis and James Franco are next.

Max Landis Accused of Sexual Harassment by Multiple Women

What does Max Landis do again?

Because I've heard more nasty stories from him than I've seen entertainment.

If he likes women, then why'd he turn half his hair into a gay pride flag?

If Landis sexually assaults people he may do it for the power aspect and not the sex aspect.

At 27, Steven Tyler convinced 14-year-old Julia Holcomb’s mother to sign over guardian rights to him so he could take her across state lines with him while he was on tour. Of her relationship with Tyler, Holcomb said, “I was subordinate to him as in a parent relationship and felt I had little control over my life.” She also pointed out that Tyler referred to her as “my Little Oral Annie” in his memoir.

Lori Mattix told Thrillist that, in the early ’70s, “[David Bowie] escorted me into the bedroom, gently took off my clothes, and de-virginized me.” She went on:

“Two hours later, I went to check on Sable. She was all fucked up in the living room, walking around, fogging up windows and writing, “I want to fuck David.” I told him what she was doing and that I felt so bad. Bowie said, “Well, darling, bring her in.” That night I lost my virginity and had my first threesome. The next morning, there was banging on the door and it was fucking [Bowie’s wife] Angie.”

This took place when Mattix was around 13 or 14-years-old (some sources say she was 15, but in a vh1 documentary, Mattix says this happened before she was with Jimmy Page (at which point she was only 13 or 14). He also faced rape allegations in 1987.

Elvis Presley began pursuing Priscilla Presley when he was 24-years-old and she was only 14. Looking back on their relationship, she said, “I was someone he created. I was just a kid and I was consumed by him. All I desired was not to disappoint him.”

Iggy Pop had sex with “baby groupie,” Sable Starr, when she was 13.

Ozzy Osbourne tried to kill his wife (and was subsequently arrested for domestic abuse) in 1989.

Chuck Berry was convicted of transporting a 14-year-old Indigenous girl across state lines for sex.

In 1993, Tupac was arrested for sexually abusing a 19-year-old-woman. he participated in a gang-rape with three of his friends.

Rolling Stones guitarist, Bill Wyman, “dated” 13 year old Mandy Smith when he was 47, eventually marrying her.

James Brown was an extremely violent abuser who beat his second wife, Deirdre Jenkins, to a pulp on a regular basis. She wasn’t the only one. His third wife, Adrienne Rodriguez, had him arrested four times on charges of assault and in 2005 a woman named Jacque Hollander accused him of raping her in 1988.

John Lennon openly admitted that he beat women in his younger years.

Jimmy Page kidnapped 14-year-old Lori Maddox and raped her. (We’re all aware that kidnapping a 14 year old and having sex with her never counts as “consensual,” right?)

Didn't Max Landis "write" that stupid looking movie with Will Smith recently? Garbage. Nepotism.

Yeah, Steven Tyler not only had a 14 year old live in girlfriend, but he forced her to get a late stage abortion, and only after apparently having his friend drug her and set her apartment on fire to kill her and the baby.

I honestly don't think there are ANY rich/powerful men who have never used their positions to sexually abuse someone.

I don't like James Franco.

It's more that the men who want to be powerful are more likely to sexually abuse their "inferiors." It's not a "all men would do it" sort of thing.

ugly men who can

Almost all the major mainstream publications are ignoring the Franco story. We are seeing the same thing we saw last year with Casey Affleck. Franco would be a goner by now but he has powerful friends in the industry (Apatow and Rogen).

The Franco story is hitting the mainstream now

[quote]After being sexually harassed a great number of times in my twenties, I developed a posture of “You’re not coming near me.” I developed a tougher exterior and expressed far less of my femininity in the workplace. Men would say to me, “You’re so tough,” but it was just self-protection. And I feel sadder about that, than fending off the harassers. For me it was a loss. I had to shut down my femininity, softness, and vulnerability, which are vital components of your creativity. Because sometimes, if you expressed those things then you opened doors to sexual components that you didn’t plan on. So you just shut it down. I didn’t want to fend off men, I wanted to be appreciated as an equal, taken seriously, and do my work. And I feel terrible sadness in my heart that in order to do that I had to shut off part of myself. It took a lot of internal work to get back to an open creative flow as the years went by.

I had a female crew member say as much to me after running into her a few times on different projects and getting to know her. I do try when I can to strike up conversations with women on the set (if there are any) who are not part of hair, makeup or wardrobe. Since I'm not out I get to give them some support as a guy who is just there as a co worker and chill space.

Ran in to her recently and she started talking about Drag Race. She told me that since she comes to work and mostly leaves her femininity behind she often feels divorced from it and she gets a little depressed. But watching the queens she realized that what she is doing at work is drag, it's her work drag tough girl persona. No different than any of the queens in theirs. Watching them, she says, has given her new appreciation of being a woman (that part I don't quite get) and brings her back in touch with her feminine self. And naturally the entertainment value is off the charts and she's trying to get some of the other guys she works with to watch.

R228, that's what I want to know

R228 Maybe it's Les Moonves.

I'm glad all the cockroaches are being caught in the light. But I'd like to see the conversation start shifting toward how we can short-circuit these behaviors in people who are misusing their power, whether that be because they have major hangups about not feeling heard in previous instances in their lives or because they are straight up sociopaths or because they're misogynists or because they have a really iffy understanding of professional boundaries or all of those things and more. There have been times in my life when I've wielded great power over less established people and I had a lot of people throwing themselves at me who were attracted simply by my power. Had I not been so goddamned busy, I have no doubt that I would have taken more advantage of several of those situations than I did. Now, I wasn't promising anybody anything, but there was clearly a reflex assumption that winning me over sexually/socially/etc. was going to yield a professional payoff. And these people weren't wrong: of course, people reward their allies and are generally inclined to overlook mistakes and under-punish misdeeds made by people whom they feel warmly towards. In entertainment, and The Arts, in general, the lines between colleagues and friends are more blurred than in any other industry. If you're in a band, guess who you're socializing with? If you're in a play, guess who you're going out for drinks with afterward? If you're on a shoot, you're spending 14 hour days, much of which is spent standing around waiting, with your colleagues and of course the discourse veers from professional to personal during those long days, weeks, months. And it is survival instinct to try to join ranks with the winning team, even if one knows there are initiation rituals that will be unsettling. We cannot turn even half the population into moral saints. Religion was invented, in part, to frighten people into behaving well. So, the question, I think, becomes how much change to our social power structures are people willing to invest in and actualize and how much can we really separate innate survival instincts from our social power structures?

Male Models Say Mario Testino and Bruce Weber Sexually Exploited Them

Dan Schneider

Nobody is the next Weinstein. This was last weeks news. Franken has already gone and people are complaining he was railroaded. This will pass.

Tell that to Woody Allen as he becomes a pariah this week, R238. Kramer, Franco and Spacey will also take solace in your bromides.

r239, Franco will continue to work. Woody will continue to work. Spacey is done, but I'm not sure why you think that's a bad thing.

Tom Sizemore was always a piece of shit. I can't believe Hollywood covered up for this guy, gave him more work, gave him chance after chance after chance (even after all his arrests and jail)

Everyone knew about Bruce Weber. It wasn't a secret. He is a skeevy dude
