http://variety.com/2017/biz/news/brett-ratner-natasha-henstridge-accused-sexual-harassment-1202604256/ Brett Ratner now acused of sexual harrasment. Guy who made X-Men: Last Stand couldn't be trustworthy.

Ratner isn't surprising either. He went on Stern a few years ago and bragged about all the Hollywood women he fucked. That was why he was canned as the producer of that year's Oscars and also why Eddie Murphy dropped out as host too.

I like that all of these statements are basically admitting, "Yes, I sexually assaulted this woman or guy. Sorry about that. It's really not who I am, honest."

Yeah, it would mean more if someone came out before they were busted. Rather than "I'm so sorry I was caught... err, so sorry I did that bad thing."

If Nicholson gets called out I doubt he'll even acknowledge it

I'm surprised more culprits aren't pulling the whole "Oh, that was x amount of years ago! C'mon! Now you say something???" card.

Their defenders certainly are. Twitter is awash with "Well it was ___ years ago and they were drunk/high" statements.

Our sex culture in prior eras was really fucked up (and it's still not so great), so frankly you should suspect that everyone from those eras has groped. At a minimum. Not only Hollywood either. The dude at your gas station too.

I work for an entertainment payroll company, and we're a sister company of Central Casting, one of the bigger casting companies around. I was talking to one of my co-workers from there and he mentioned that he's beyond surprised that it took so long for someone to say something about Kevin Spacey. He said that Spacey is one of the most slimy people there is. He's had many extras complain to him about working with Spacey. Anthony Anderson is a huge name that should be coming down soon, too, he said. There are some really big names he was saying. He didn't go into too much detail since he had to get back to work, but this is going to change things, a lot.

Anderson was arrested/accused of rape like 10-15 years ago which got swept under the rug since Black-ish became a big hit so it's not surprising he's like this too.

This doesn't seem to be getting any attention though.

So many of these are going to come out that some will fly under the radar.

Chris Tucker is gonna be one of them.

This is old but didn't get a lot of attention when it happened as it was quickly settled out of court (aka he paid them off) but it snuck back again before his Oscar win this year and not it's barely mentioned at all.

The best part was after Casey won the Oscar he was paying Denzel all these compliments from the stage and Denzel was having none of it, just sitting their stonefaced and not acknowledging him at all.

Bryan Singer is starting to gain steam again, and Brett Ratner is the first to sue one of his accusers. Many of the allegations for some of them are 20+ years old. Email wasn't a big thing, and texting wasn't around. It might be hard for some of the accusers to prove what happened, so I wouldn't be surprised to see more lawsuits just to shut their accusers up, sadly.

Funny thing is Jessica Chastain retweeted support for those bringing up the Singer issues, even though she's in the next freaking X-Men film produced by him. Which begs the question why it was okay to work then when this shit was kinda known around town.

Not many big jobs available in that business if she were to act like that. It's not exactly a business based around talent once you reach that level.

Netflix just announced that the next season of House of Cards will be its last.

Production has been suspended. This escalated very quickly.

And now Netflix has severed all ties with Spacey so if there is another season of House of Cards, it won't involve him.

Netflix told the production either he goes or they lose their contract with them.
