Answer: no, it’s not cool. Plus it assumes that the person owes you response - which they don’t, and especially not if you seem pre-determined to write a hit piece about them, as this writer was probably pretty clearly always intending to do.

I appreciate that the main point of this article is Lauren Duca in general, but hold on:

That was great. Also for some reason I crack up at the scene early on when Brooks tosses their boardgames onto the floor, and McAdams just scurries to retrieve them. It’s a quick, throwaway moment, but it’s true to her character and her timing is great.

I appreciate the attention given to her line read of “Oh no, he died!”, as it had me rolling with laughter for several minutes.

He was a game show host at the time. Jesus you expect her to have foresight into him one day becoming president. It was a minute long Emmy skit and she’s famous for a TV show primarily. It’s PR and part of her job. Also you’re an idiot.

She's an actress doing a bit with an obnoxious reality tv star for an awards show. This was before the birther shit. Do you ever not cone up with the most spiteful, off-base take? Is this a gimmick account where the gimmick is 'sucking'?

I mean... appearing in an Emmy sketch is hardly “swimming in his slime”

In the original Times post about this, they interviewed douchebag, and at every turn he offered explanations that confirmed (i) he is a gross misogynistic douchebag, and (ii) he has no idea.

Successful assholes always make sure they have plenty of friends who can vouch for them. It’s not a sign they’re good people, just very effective manipulators.

Eh, I’d find it more improbably diabolical if that weren’t exactly what happened. Of course, it was framed as Dushku not having a sense of humor and being hard to work with, but it usually is. And that’s the root problem, it seems to me—a professional culture that demands that women put up with their male colleagues’…

Good on Dushku for speaking out. The fact that Weatherly had zero qualms about violating the terms of the non-disclosure agreement just goes to show how little he thinks rules and norms actually apply to him. I hope he never works in Hollywood again.

I think she was 20 in 2001, but she has definitely said that she shouldn’t have gotten engaged and that she was inexperienced and she now thinks he should have known better. That’s not illegal, of course, but it makes me wonder if coercion wasn’t involved there too.

Ms. Dushku’s story makes me wonder if all of the stories of Cybil Sheppard being hard to work with, is her just not wanting to be sexually harassed.  Seems like the situation here is that they tried to make it seem like Dushku was hard to work with.    How many women have gotten that label because they don’t want to…

Don’t bring these shitheads out of the gray. 

Notice how CBS has nothing but a series of mediocre, sexist shows designed to make white males feel powerful. Anything featuring strong women or people of color is offloading to their streaming service. Fuck them. 

This all sucks and it’s shitty that she had to go through, but good on Faith. She got her settlement and - “As part of the settlement that was eventually made, Dushku forced CBS to hire someone trained in sexual harassment compliance to keep an eye on Weatherly and Bull” nice looking out for others.

Well, this certainly sheds a new light on the whole who was the toxic asshole when Moonlighting went south question.

To me it sounds much more calculated than that—Weatherly discovering that Dushku was slated to became his co-lead and lashing out for fear of losing status on “his” show. By swinging his dick around like a creep, he ensured that either a) Dushku would swallow her pride and go along to get along, proving that he was…
