re: Sexual Harassment/Assault & Abuse in Hollywood -- Discussion
Franco's (and Jared Leto for that matter) proclivities have been another one of those open secrets for a while now.
If you just confine your gossip intake to the manufactured checkout line PR stuff, all this would seem to arise out of the blue. It's actually been rumored and hinted about for a while.
FWIW, while Franco's escapades seem to mostly run afoul statutorily, Leto comes across like a really nasty, mean spirited piece of work.

If nothing comes up, than this former Oscar nominee who is an A- list mostly movie actor from an acting family has a good chance at another Oscar nomination or win. The problem he is facing is we already know he likes underage girls. It is on record. Nothing happened to him before. Now, there are going to be others who are underage going on the record again. A few years ago we somehow let him get away with it, but he won't this time and all that Oscar buzz will be gone. James Franco ("The Disaster Artist")

The Web Part 2: For Part One of The Web, you can click here. When we last saw PJ and RJ they were recording interviews with abused teens. The question was how did the information get back to the A+ lister. Did one of them send him a copy? That was always considered a maybe. They could have done it for protection. Hey look at what we have so don't come after us. Did the wife of PJ show one to the A+ lister? Again, certainly possible. At that point she was fully indebted to the A+ lister and had made her bed. She was full in on the money, fame and protection from bad things from her past that the A+ lister could assist her with. The problem with that theory is that you have to be fully on board with PJ trusting his wife. At that point he already wanted to divorce her. No one I have spoken with thinks that PJ knew about what was going on with the A+ lister, but he still had no reason to trust her. From everything I have seen or heard, it looks like someone he considered a friend, betrayed him. The friend, an A/A- list mostly movie actor attended the funeral of PJ. He probably fake grieved or maybe even had real grief knowing he helped along the death. Let us call this actor SB. Never one to be discreet about sex or who has sex with or concerned about age, our actor has got into trouble for his behavior in the past. At a party he attended at PJ's house about a year before all of this went down, he was cornered by PJ's wife about getting her a part in a movie or anything he could help her with. At that same time, she introduced him to a friend of hers. The friend is a very very high priced escort who mainly operates out of the country. She was in the US trying to also get some acting work and called her old friend. Well, this high priced escort works in a country where anything goes so nothing SB talked about or said shocked her. The two started hanging out quite frequently. During that time, they ran into our A+ lister while out to dinner. He stopped by the table of SB and told him he had fresh meat and should stop by. They did so and apparently SB engaged in sexual activity with some of these teen boys. I don't know if the teens he hooked up with were legal or not. Fast forward a little bit. This is where things take an even stranger turn. Apparently the escort was not only hooking up with SB, but also PJ himself. PJ's wife had no idea. I still don't think she has any idea, although the relationship between the two has grown more frosty as of late. I don't think SB knew, but probably wouldn't have cared. I don't think PJ knew about SB and the escort either because PJ was gone so frequently. Apparently one of those teens being interviewed mentioned SB or enough of a description of him that the escort knew who the teen was referring to. Whether she saw the video or heard about it from PJ, I don't know. The next thing you know, the escort is telling SB what she knew and SB was telling the A+ lister. Fate sealed. Almost immediately after that, the escort suddenly decides that she needs to leave the country again, where she has remained since.

Instagram Terror - The Web Continues To Grow
The Web - Part One and Part Two: Recently I wrote about this escort that seems to be in the middle of everything going on in the long running widows scandal. It turns out this escort is even more involved than previously known. When we last saw the escort, she was saving SB and sealing the tragic fate of RJ and PJ at the hands of the A+ lister. Why were SB and the A+ lister so close? At some point back in time, SB and a family member hooked up with the A+ lister. He helped them and they helped him. SB is close to a director, an A list indie type director not named Bryan Singer. Think darker and more gritty films. He is someone who has always taken deep dives into underage sex and using that as his rationalization, has sex with underage teens constantly. Ask his current significant other actress how old she was when they started hooking up. She was very much underage, and helped him find underage teens for his "projects." Apparently the escort and our money/fame hungry widow were involved with this group. Right now, it isn't known if they were part of the director's crowd, but suddenly they were there. Here is where it gets a little more complicated. Our A+ lister had met some men from overseas who were interested in young men. They also were interested in young females. The young men were to be play things for rich men overseas. The young females though were a different story. Some of them were sent to Dubai to be sexually used and abused for a year or two before they either made it back home or ended up beneath one of the many construction projects. There were another group of women that have met a different fate. Most were Instagram models. Men overseas would go on the internet and choose one they wanted. They would then be quoted a fee of between $2500-9500 to a business located in Washington D.C. That business specialized in selling items that were all priced in that range. The crazy thing is though, if you took a look at the business, they didn't actually have any inventory. They were just funneling money for a bunch of different purposes. One of those purposes was providing Instagram models as wives to some very very bad people who had been promised wives if they signed up to fight. Most of these Instagram models that were picked at random had no interest in going overseas even for sex. However, there were plenty that the escort found through her web of other escort friends and models she would talk to online. How to make sure the models were really interested? SB would make a personal plea or his almost equally famous family member. The models would be told easy money was waiting overseas. The models all thought they were going to Dubai. They would start in Dubai but were then transported to other places not as nice and then married off. The people getting the wives were not going to complain about not getting their first choice or try to demand a refund. These models were then paraded and used as a recruitment tool to get more people to sign up to fight. Now, it isn't clear whether SB or the A+ lister or even the escort or our hated widow knew the full story of these models. I do know they knew the women were being sold/rented to men in Dubai. I know they took a cut of that big fee paid to that mystery business. I know the escort is still trolling for new women online to sell. I don't know who her new middleman is, but she is still doing it.

This 16 year old at the time says she was sexually assaulted on an almost daily basis by this A/A- list mostly movie actor in an acting family while on the set of this movie from not that long ago. She says she complained to not only the producers, but also to this A- list mostly movie actress she was working with on the movie who told her she had to deal with the same things when she was the age of the 16 year old. Her advice was just to try and avoid it but if you couldn't, then to get each time over with as quickly as possible and focus on your career. Definitely sounds like the advice who married a predator.

Those conspiracy theories around Chris Cornell and Chester Bennington's deaths are really out there.
There's some stuff that gets posted to CDAN that really hits their credibility.

re: Sexual Harassment/Assault & Abuse in Hollywood -- Discussion
The revered French actor Catherine Deneuve has hit out at a new “puritanism” sparked by sexual harassment scandals, declaring that men should be “free to hit on” women.
Deneuve was one of about 100 female French writers, performers and academics who wrote an open letter deploring the wave of “denunciations” that has followed claims that the Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein raped and sexually assaulted women over decades.
They claimed the “witch-hunt” that followed threatens sexual freedom.
“Rape is a crime, but trying to seduce someone, even persistently or cack-handedly, is not – nor is men being gentlemanly a macho attack,” said the letter published in the newspaper Le Monde.
“Men have been punished summarily, forced out of their jobs when all they did was touch someone’s knee or try to steal a kiss,” said the letter, which was also signed by Catherine Millet, author of the explicit 2002 bestseller The Sexual Life of Catherine M.
Men had been dragged through the mud, they argued, for “talking about intimate subjects during professional dinners or for sending sexually charged messages to women who did not return their attentions”.
The letter attacked feminist social media campaigns like #MeToo and its French equivalent, #BalanceTonPorc (Call out your pig), for unleashing this “puritanical ... wave of purification”.
It claimed that “legitimate protest against the sexual violence that women are subject to, particularly in their professional lives,” had turned into a witch-hunt.
“What began as freeing women up to speak has today turned into the opposite – we intimidate people into speaking ‘correctly’, shout down those who don’t fall into line, and those women who refused to bend [to the new realities] are regarded as complicit and traitors.”
The signatories – who included a porn star-turned-agony aunt – claimed they were defending sexual freedom, for which “the liberty to seduce and importune was essential”.
The Oscar-nominated Deneuve, 74, is best known internationally for playing a bored housewife who spends her afternoons as a prostitute in Luis Buñuel’s classic 1967 film Belle de Jour.
Deneuve has made no secret of her annoyance at social media campaigns to shame men accused of harassing women.
“I don’t think it is the right method to change things, it is excessive,” she said last year, referring to the #MeToo hashtag. “After ‘calling out your pig’ what are we going to have, ‘call our your whore’?”
“Instead of helping women this frenzy to send these (male chauvinist) ‘pigs’ to the abattoir actually helps the enemies of sexual liberty – religious extremists and the worst sort of reactionaries,” the collective of women who signed the letter said.
“As women we do not recognise ourselves in this feminism, which beyond denouncing the abuse of power takes on a hatred of men and of sexuality.”
They insisted that women were “sufficiently aware that the sexual urge is by its nature wild and aggressive. But we are also clear-eyed enough not to confuse an awkward attempt to pick someone up with a sexual attack.”

Since the majority of these actors rely on public perception to drive their popularity, it is especially harmful to them to be portrayed as, well, pigs, but if that's how they act, then that's who they are.

Deadline just went public with an interview of Michael Douglas getting ahead of a woman from 32 years back that is accusing him of masturbating in front of her. For now I agree with him that she has an agenda and her story may not hold up under scrutiny.
