Hollywood Under Fire For Sexual Assault

[Lord of The Curry]

Michael J. Fox would definitely be on my small list of shockers. Gary Oldman would be another that would surprise me/really bum me out.

Oldman beat his ex.

 

[cobainwasmurdered]

I'd be a bit bummed but not as much as by Colbert or M J Fox. Colbert just has that vibe of being a really clean cut good guy where it'd really be sad and shocking to me. I think Stewart is a good enough guy but I wouldn't be shocked at that level.

Bryan Singer disappeared from his movie set and production has been stopped so I assume the big stories on him are gonna drop very soon.

Danny Masterson FIRED from "The Ranch"

 

[cobainwasmurdered]

all the scum really getting cleared out now.

 

[Lord of The Curry]

Bryan Singer disappeared from his movie set and production has been stopped so I assume the big stories on him are gonna drop very soon.

The big stories on Singer have been out and about for a very, very long time.

Yup. Pretty sure several big stories came out around 2013-2014 when the young X-Men movie franchise was starting up and we even had a thread started to consolidate them.

 

[cobainwasmurdered]

they came out but they were more on gawker level sites it felt like rather than new york times and cnn level "legit" media.

 

[Lord of The Curry]

The gossip on Singer reminded me a lot of the shit about Louis C.K. It never got NYT/CNN level stories about allegations but those allegations were in plain sight to look up for anybody who wanted to enquire.

Yeah. Just because NYT/CNN are stupid enough to not inquire/dig into it doesn't mean it's less relevant. If anything, I think it's a bad state of journalism when Gawker level sites are talking about such notable allegations years ago and only now are legit media deciding, 'Hey, maybe we should cover/publish some of this stuff.'

 

[cobainwasmurdered]

it doesn't make it less relevant but it means that far less people know about it and it doesn't put anywhere near as much pressure on anyone to do anything about him. That's what 909 means about stories finally starting to run now.

lots of details on the situation here. It sounds like there was lots of on-set chaos that led to his firing.

Re: Directors Under Fire For Sexual Assault

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.

Last season will contain 8 episodes and solely focus on Robin Wright's character. Not confirmed if Spacey's character will be killed off or not even acknowledged. A spin-off is still a possibility.

“However,” she added, “the agreements that have been put in place to protect the privacy of two people, both of whom have expressed a desire to get on with their lives, must be respected. Based on our understanding of the circumstances, the filmmakers and I are not only comfortable sticking with our original casting, but genuinely happy to have Johnny playing a major character in the movies.”

 

[Lord of The Curry]

Outside of Amber Heard what other allegations were made against Depp? Not defending the guy, genuinely curious.

 

[Mickey Massuco]

Her opinion has to line up with theirs, is the issue.

He raped a 17 year old in 2003.

 

[Valeyard]

I wonder what the count is for Singer and Spacey on Superman Returns alone. It's gotta be a matter of time.

 

[Mickey Massuco]

He's had the reputation of being a serial predator for some time now, so I imagine justice will be swift with this one.

another Dustin Hoffman one:

[Master Thrasher]

Steve Edwards, who people in So Cal know, has been let go from his morning show. I can't believe a man who works with women half his age would be a trouble maker.

A bunch of NFL Network analysts are in trouble too.

 

[SFH]

Horrible if there's any truth about Heath Evans. He's an advocate for child sex abuse, his wife is a survivor. They hold annual charity events to raise money for sex abuse charities. Completely disgusting if he did this.

more Hoffman accusations. Morgan Spurlock "apoligized" for a bunch of shit and left his production company. Russell Simmons was accused of rape by another 3 women.

 

[cobainwasmurdered]

The outage machine is fired up on Matt Damon because he was asked his opinion and said that while both are totally wrong there's a difference between rape and a pat on the ass. http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/matt-damon-opens-harvey-weinstein-sexual-harassment-confidentiality/story?id=51792548

that's the main reason they're going nuts. lots of shit on twitter about how all men have no right to speak at all and all the gossip sites (which now somehow includes AV Club) are totall burying him and twisting his stuff into making him a rape apologist.

 

[Dandy]

That is horrible because there is a difference between rape and a pat on the ass. Two things can be wrong with varying degrees of how horrible they are. There is a difference between murder and smacking someone as well.

 

[cobainwasmurdered]

The internet doesn't seem to have room for nuance on either end of the spectrum anymore. Just like those 4chan guys finding a way to justify ending net neutrality these people will find a way to go after anyone who doesn't give the approved response. I think the majority of people realize how ridiculous it is though.
