Everything suggests that, while people probably didn’t know he was a rapist, they did know he was an alcoholic and a sexual harasser and abusive. The domestic violence allegations against him were public, there were lots of blinds about him harrassing women both on and off set. Zoe Lister-Jones’s account above pretty…

The question was answered in the initial article. Both women said that the onslaught of publicity for the SATC revival made it hard to stop thinking about their assaults. I don’t think it’s particularly complicated to understand why they came forward now.

My read on her statements here is that he gets writing/producing credits for very minimal contributions, and because it’s his label, nobody really has the power to fight him on that. (And because they’re all on multi-album deals, they can’t leave.) So she’s not really “working with him” that often, at least recently, b…

I don’t think it’s particularly unclear that he cheated; a source from his ex-wife’s team confirmed that she caught him cheating before he ever went to rehab. (And there have been reports and blind items of him having relapsed and trying to hook up with girls on Instagram for close to two years now, which obviously…

People are hung up on the timeline because it’s clear that Mulaney was cheating and yet refuses to just admit to it.

Civil courts also have a staute of limitations, and it’s usually shorter than the one in criminal cases. It’s almost certainly expired for the 2004 case. The 2015 assault, which took place in New York, is an interesting one—New York generally has a statute of limitations for sexual assault-related crimes in civil…

He’d been trying to get written off the property for years—it was first tossed around as an idea for a potential third movie, four or five years ago. And it’s just a hard show to write plots for if Carrie’s not single.

My understanding is that they filmed a decent number of scenes with him this seasons--presumably intended to be flashbacks? It’ll be interesting to see what they do with that.

My understanding is that California eliminated the statute of limitations for rape in 2017, but it only applies to crimes committed after that date. Anything before that would be subject to the old SOL, which was (I believe) ten years. In which case Zoe wouldn’t be able to report it.

Wait, you don’t think sucking up to the boss is “something to gain”?

Yeah, the police are still investigating. It’s very likely we’ll hear an answer eventually, just not yet.

The initial crew was union. A few cameramen were replaced by non-union cameramen on the day of filming, but that’s it.

Yeah, officially Mayim is the host of the specials, while the everyday version has no official host, and Mayim and Ken are both temporarily filling in. So she’s an official Jeopardy host, and he’s not. But neither of them are official hosts of the everyday show.

Her book surely played a part in his continued incarceration.

At least theoretically, they have 50 votes even if Manchin decides to be a dumbass since Collins is supposed to be openly pro-choice.

She was a bigger star than Tobey Maguire at the time! She’d already done most of her major roles at that point, including The Virgin Suicides and Bring It On. Tobey’s only significant role before this was Pleasantville; his career wouldn’t peak until later. And James Franco obviously was pretty much unknown.

Yeah, the “fixation” isn’t on the relationship, it’s on the song. It’s widely considered her best by critics, is a favorite of fans—and is allegedly one of her own favorites, too. Over the last decade, the ten-minute version had taken on legendary status among her fan base. It’s not that weird that she’s playing up…

If the crowd is already riled up, that can make things worse. If they’re already drunk and mad, and then you give them something else to get mad about, they can get out of control in a hurry.

Travis Scott was not just the performer, it’s his festival. So it’s to be expected that he would be one of the parties held responsible for this in civil court.

Like I said, those things are definitely negligent, and she will definitely face some kind of liability for them in a civil trial. But no, they aren’t necessarily criminally negligent, which is a much, much higher bar.
