Ruined Careers

And if proven guilty, it's more than deserving. MORE than deserving. I literally can't stand men who would sexually harass, abuse or rape. I find men like that despicable.

There's a growing list in Hollywood of men that did just that over the years, and it's growing daily. And then some of the men are getting accused multiple times.

My only problem is - I hope they get investigated properly, most of them anyway. It's a very difficult line. Your first instinct when you see multiple women accuse someone of sexual harassment years back, is to believe them, as why would more than one woman speak up. But what if perhaps the initial accusations are legitimate, but then some women are jumping on the bandwagon? For example, someone gets accused of 3 different times of sexual harassment. Suppose one of the accusers made up their accusations, because since much time has passed, there would be no evidence and it would be word versus word? Since the accused technically did 2 of them, does it matter that the 3rd person is lying? Then of course instances, now that it's skyrocketing, that perhaps someone out there may accuse as a revenge tactic? I'd hate to see someone swept up in all of this that was truly innocent. And then perhaps the worst scenario of all, someone being the harasser or rapist and then not being accused and/or getting away with it.

I want those accused to see justice. If evidence and crimes committed, maybe even prison time (Weinstein). I'm not in any way at all protecting any of these scumbags. I just know that I've seen a LOT of accusations turn out to be false over the years. So I hope folks don't have lives ruined without even the most basic of investigations.

Here's a list of the famous accused thus far.

It all started with Bill Cosby, and there are 90+?

Harvey Weinstein - 80 and counting - police involved in NYC, LA and London as well.
Kevin Spacey - at least 3
Louis CK - 5
Jeffrey Tambor
Ben Affleck - 2
Roy Price
Oliver Stone
James Toback - multiple
Andy Dick - multiple
George HW Bush - 4
Mark Halperin - 12
Michael Oreskes - 8
Jeremy Piven - 3
Dustin Hoffman - 2
Brett Ratner - 6
Ed Westwick - 2
Steven Seagal - 2

I don't have a problem with all of them listed going to the slammer.

You forgot to add Roy Moore and Donald Trump. Our culture is full of disgusting behavior.

I realize that it's an involuntary knee jerk response from you and it's quite possible you don't even remember typing it, but what sexual assaults has President Trump committed?

And that was sexual assault?

Sounds to me like you need a dictionary, son.

Yea kissing someone and grabbing them by the pussy without consent is sexual assault. You are unclear about that?

"When you're famous, they let you do it".


Oh. And I forgot to wish you a happy anniversary.

I think you missed this part "I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait. "

[Black Diamond]

And of course you put a period where there isn't supposed to be one. I just watched it. The very next thing he says is "And when you're a star they let you do it. ".

[pete311]

nah your defense is absurd. You're basically saying when you're a star every women gives automatic consent. When your a star you don't wait because they let you do it. Absurd!

[Black Diamond]

No what's absurd is you saying trump is a sexual predator because he engaged in locker room talk.

[pete311]

If locker room talk is admitting to sexual assault then yeah.

[Black Diamond]

If locker room talk is admitting to sexual assault then yeah.

He didn't admit to sexual assault. But you only have seven more years to menstruate over it

Pete ruins ANOTHER thread before it starts.

But Pete - outside of talk - what person SPECIFICALLY did Trump claim to have assaulted? Which woman SPECIFICALLY claims that Trump has assaulted her? There's a HUGE difference between Trump being an asshole and talking smack - and these women and men and what's happening and actual instances of sexual assault and/or rape. Your talk and desire to include Trump only diminishes the current and actual claims and actions.
