Criminy. Some of these stories are bordering on the trivial and whiny. That doesn't excuse the behavior, but welcome to the real world where business doesn't mean a community of friends and friendliness.

Yep, I remember reading about it back when Lucas came out on Blu-ray.

Feldman's response is interesting. He would not confirm or deny but stated ...
"Well let me be very clear. The man at the end of this bread crumb trail, the coveted name A lister everybody wants to know about has, & does continue to threaten his victims with death. It's actually his go to statement. Anyone that knows who I am talking about can find multiple court records in which defendants have claimed that they feared for their safety after confronting him. Point blank, he threatens people's lives and has a history of violent behavior."

I already posted the Lucas culprit. It is producer David Nicksay.

The interesting thing is this article put up today.

a spokesperson for the child actor and activist, 46, claimed he could “only speak about his own experiences.”

“He can only attest to events that he actually saw; anything he was told by other victims is merely hearsay,” the rep said. “Unfortunately, some of them are not here to recount their horrors and all we can hope is that all abusers are held accountable.”
Yet, didn't he start all this by talking about what Haim went through? He's been talking about Haim's abuse for years.

I think this thread might have officially hit bottom. It's gone from Weinstein's abusive/criminal history to that time Mariah Carey allegedly "acted like a diva." I guess that shouldn't be a surprise, though; it's what witch hunts always do.

P.S. I've seen Seth McFarlane mentioned favorably in a couple of posts here. What will you all do when it's his turn to be accused?

You see the thread title? The posts are fine. She's being sued for sexual harassment.

For those wondering about the status of this title:

re: Sexual Harassment/Assault & Abuse in Hollywood -- Discussion

I heard a story about Kevin Spacey on TV this morning.

A young man at a bar, 18 years old, lied to Spacey and said that he was 21. Spacey bought him drinks and groped him repeatedly. Spacey suggested that they go someplace more private. Spacey left the bar for a minute and a woman told him to get out. The young man fled. He told his mother, "I was almost raped by Kevin Spacey!"

His mother, a journalist, repeated this story for the studio cameras with tears running down her cheeks.

To me this sounds aggressive, but not rape. If someone at a bar stuck his or her hand inside my pants, I wouldn't hang around for a second grope unless I were damn well interested.

Yeah, calling that "almost raped" is a long shot. I mean, did Spacey roofie his drink?

I see that Jeffrey Tambor has been accussed of inappropriate behavior.

Hey Nooowww!!!!

But seriously, this seems to be just anyone now over the last 40 years thats done anything even slightly considered inappropriate that getting thrown under the bus. I know a lot of these cases are real, but there are going to be some that simply want 15 minutes of fame or the chance of a potentially easy pay day. I think this is reducing the overall impact for the real victims as its getting to the eye rolling point of anything being considered inappropriate.

By the way, does anyone else think that the empowerment for women from the Wonder Woman movie this year play into this? It just seems that movie had a real positive impact for them.

^ Tambor's authentically sounds like a scornful former employee. Knepper's sounds pretty bad. Westwick isn't going to do well in prison.

I think the female empowerment from Wonder Woman is a bit overrated.

If a big strapping dude like Crews can be assaulted, no one is safe!

Well this is officially a problem. However, her boyfriend being Mark Salling (i.e., convicted child pornographer Mark Salling) is not going to help her. Still, it makes the first story more credible.

I have a message to all Hollywood types out there - stop raping. Seriously, it's enough.

I wondered when someone would finally bring Kenneth Anger into this to remind us that there's nothing new in Hollywood.

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/new...ym-sin-1055783

Revisiting the Babylon books in the current climate is a reminder that while the entertainment industry has grown to see itself as something of a moral force over the past century, the rest of the country never subscribed. Hollywood has always been, in Anger's words, a "synonym for sin," a paradisiacal place where glamour lives and ethics don't.

Crazy that these studios are willing to take big financial hits to scrub Spacey from the industry. Make no mistake, it's not out of some deep moral convictions. All they care about is avoiding bad press.

I wonder if Walmart is going to ban Spacey films next.
