I heard this on a local radio station.

Yes. And there are still 25 states in the USA that have no minimum age limit for marriage.

Hopefully if Talese ever gets busted for anything disgusting, he won’t pull a Kevin Spacey and bring up the fact that he’s Gay in his apology for no good reason.

As a survivor of the Great Ponderosa Massacre of 1997, wherein the buffet where I worked discontinued free coffee for senior citizens, I wholeheartedly endorse this as the truth. Apparently, charging 50 cents for a bottomless cup of coffee is one bridge too far and entitles you to fling a full coffee cup at your…

It’s not like it used to be? There was a time when pedophilia was ok?

I recently overhead a conversation of some male coworkers (all 60+) that went like this:

Seriously. If you can empathize with such a horrendous criminal freak, there’s something just as bad in your own closet.

He seems to love showing off that he’s a creep. Or he’s just so insulated and wealthy that he has no idea that his breed of old male creep is having a bit of comeuppance at the moment. I do wonder what his wife thinks of all this.... Not a good look for the brand. Not that she’s responsible for her husband’s actions,…

It’s the mentality of people who have been getting a privilege for a long period of time seeing the revocation of that privilege as a punishment. Ask someone to pay for a donut and they’ll do so. Give someone a free donut every day for ten years, then one day say you can’t give them free donuts anymore and they’ll be…

Really just makes you wonder what sort of heinous shit Gay Talese hasn’t been caught out on yet.

So..... Voyeur’s Motel not looking like a one-off mistake.

“10 minutes of indiscretion 10 years or more ago”

“I feel so sad, and I hate that actor that ruined this guy’s career. So, O.K., it happened 10 years ago . . . Jesus, suck it up once in a while!”

Talese is a grade A creep on his own “merits.” And he’s proud of it. Because he’s an asshole.

Really?

What does this have to do with the price of tea in China? Coerced into relationship to save career or reputation, as she has stated.

What I’m seeing is an ambitious driven actor protecting themselves and their perceived legacy and trying to control any narrative about themselves so they aren’t framed as a victim or in anyway a pawn of others.

He must have really enjoyed every aspect of this. The attacks and then the meticulous gaslighting. I imagine the grooming, attack and ultimately life long crushing of the soul was all part of the game. Not so much damage control but continuation of delighting in others torment. 

Yeah I came here looking for apologies from people who didn’t believe HW had anything to do with that warrant. It’s amazing how much good faith is afforded to men who have shown repeatedly they don’t deserve it...

This is a really good assessment.
