Most here probably don't know who he is, but J-Lo's manager and record Producer Benny Medina accused of attempted rape.
Incident happened back in 2008

Medina is also a TV Producer. He produces J-Lo's show Shades of Blue and also produced the Fresh Prince of Bel Air.

Takei being collateral damage is exactly the point I’m trying to make. Everyone is so quick to accuse whoever, so sorry if I am cautious with judging all these people that I in no way support as far as their past bevahior goes. I just don’t believe in a pile-on mentality that is going on. I may be wrong.

Countless? By my count, it was five women in the 90s and early 2000s before C.K. was a household name. Don’t really see how what he did is ever going to be as bad as physically assaulting someone. I wouldnt call it “sympathy” at all, but it’s not on the same level as a lot of these folks.

They are financing, co-financing about 14 upcoming movies in WB's slate including Justice League, Ready Player One, Aquaman, Flashpoint, Shazam etc.

The fucker may be done as a director and producer, but his production company is keeping money in his bank account.

Singer from the band Brand New seems to be the first one to get outed (today, anyway) for sexual misconduct with a minor about a decade ago. Maybe small potatoes for most folks here who haven't heard their music, but I've been a fan for the better part of 14 years. Others in the "scene" seem wholly unsurprised, though.

Gal Gadot won't return for 'Wonder Woman 2' unless Brett Ratner is out
“Wonder Woman” star Gal Gadot is continuing to battle accused Hollywood sexual harasser Brett Ratner by refusing to sign for a super*hero sequel unless the movie-maker is completely killed from the franchise.
A Hollywood source tells Page Six that Gadot — who last month backed out of a dinner honoring Ratner, where she was due to present him with an award — is taking a strong stance on sexual harassment in Hollywood and doesn’t want her hit “Wonder Woman” franchise to benefit a man accused of sexual misconduct.
Ratner’s production company RatPac-Dune Entertainment helped produce “Wonder Woman” as part of its co-financing deal with Warner Bros. The movie has grossed more than $400 million internationally, and Ratner’s company will take a healthy share of the profits. A Warner Bros. insider explained, “Brett made a lot of money from the success of ‘Wonder Woman,’ thanks to his company having helped finance the first movie. Now Gadot is saying she won’t sign for the sequel unless Warner Bros. buys Brett out [of his financing deal] and gets rid of him.”
The source added of Israeli-born Gadot, “She’s tough and stands by her principles. She also knows the best way to hit people like Brett Ratner is in the wallet. She also knows that Warner Bros. has to side with her on this issue as it develops. They can’t have a movie rooted in women’s empowerment being part-financed by a man *accused of sexual misconduct against women.”
This past week, Warner Bros. announced it was severing ties with Ratner amid multiple sexual-harassment allegations leveled against him by actresses including Olivia Munn and Natasha Henstridge. Ratner has vehemently denied the allegations through his attorney, Marty Singer.
Earlier this month, Gadot posted on Instagram: “Bullying and sexual harassment is unacceptable! I stand by all the courageous women confronting their fears and speaking out. Together we stand.
We are all united in this time of change.”

Still not sure how I feel about this one. I mean.. He doesn't address the specific accusation or say it's true. I appreciate what he DOES say there, but leaving out the specific (illegal) thing... feels like deflection.

I’ll tell you though, growing up... plenty of girls I knew would’ve or did lie about their age to try and hook up with guys in bands.

I'm not even going to lie, I thought Christopher Plummer was dead. Image my shock when I heard he was Spacey's replacement.
