“...dialed 911 on a cellphone that had been deactivated.”

You really, really need to work on your critical reading skills.

I didn’t see it as a dig, quite the opposite. Faye Dunaway is a fucking legend but she doesn’t have the economic power to match, and the only explanation for that is sexism.

No. People are mad because he was suggesting people were conflating the two, in the first place. And they aren’t.

Yeah, I think it’s on Remini and Haggis to prove in some way that this is happening. Or perhaps the journalists who know the names of the accusers to do some digging.

Yeah, I also watched both seasons of the show.

I’m sitting here thinking, “Is this what it looks like when black folks react to a black man being accused of something and we say, ‘You KNOW they always trying to bring a brotha down!’” Cuz they DO pull shit against us, but maybe this particular muhfucka is appropriately targeted for his misbehavior. It’s funny how…

Doing the accusers a disservice. COS is beyond capable of some shit but I’m not going for this.

No Aziz Ansari article or even a mention? Seems like when older, less-relevant-to-millennials actors are accused, people were happy to jump on the bandwagon but are struggling more with certified faves.

Welcome to the AV Club! The population here skews heavily straight and male, and they’re all very angry at the idea that they can’t just do whatever it takes to get a woman to have sex with them.

What’s your advice for me, then, frenchpressgirl? You’re all over this thread telling women how not to get raped. So I’d love to know what I should have done.

So that incredibly detailed story along with his confirmed phone number and apology isn’t enough? She needs to be outed and have people know who she is simply because she had the audacity to tell someone that Aziz Ansari engaged in sexual misconduct with her? Gross.

What matters a little less is whether what he did was “misconduct.” I’m leaning toward he’s kind of a pushy asshole, not a date-rapist.

I’m glad there’s finally a dude willing to be the arbiter of when women can feel like a guy acted inappropriately.

I have heard the “I can’t say anything because I’ll drown their voices.” excuse and I don’t buy it.

I would be really happy for a few dudes who have worked with Woody Allen or any of the reported abusers to weigh in and add their voices to the “Not working with this guy again” conversation. Their silence is deafening as only women appear to be called to account for it, are taking the professional hit and have to…

Side note - did anyone catch Michaela Cole in The Last Jedi, briefly? In the very beginning!

So will this earn him that dreaded “Difficult To Work With” label that results in your acting career going down the shitter, or at least leaving you glad to get roles in Lifetime movies? Or does that rule only apply to female performers who refuse to do nude sex scenes or touch the director’s pee-pee, not dudebros who…
