I love that she is using her experience to comment and constructively criticize the rape culture we have all around us. She is SO bright and thoughtful, and I really am inspired by the way she took something so terrible in her life and is using it to help other people. I believe she can make a difference in the way…

If there really are as many powerful behind-the-scenes pedos in Hollywood as suggested, did it really bomb or was it just sort of quietly buried?

I feel like it’s a bit uncharitable to call An Open Secret a bomb even if yes, technically it was a total box office failure, but how many screens did it even open on? And how much money was available for any type of promotion? And how many people go to see documentaries in the theater in the first place, especially…

No, he’s also taking back the suggestion that it was fellow child actors he was friends with. He says his only experience with it is from “articles” he has read and “films” he has seen.

I don’t think she’s an innocent party in this matter. I’m just rolling my eyes at the idea that she should be chastised for not answering questions that were designed to harass her and produce sound bites for the media. She’s not disguising any relevant information by giving “no opinion” answers because the case isn’t…

I don’t know the dynamics of their marriage but she’s not in charge of how Bill Cosby behaves himself. The only thing she has control over is whether to leave him or not. She obviously decided to stay married to a rapist but it’s certainly not her fault that Bill Cosby drugged and assaulted women.

Lord knows I loved making people uncomfortable in depositions, when appropriate, but this is kind of over the top. Whether or not she thinks her husband “acted with a lack of integrity” during their marriage isn’t relevant or likely to lead to any admissible evidence. If you’re gonna harass a witness, at least have…

I have no idea what she knew, but questions about whether she feels he broke his marriage vows don’t do anything to prove anything. It’s acknowledged that he was unfaithful. Asking her about her marriage in that way isn’t useful, and I’d probably tell him to take a long walk off a short pier. Just because your…

I dunno, some of these questions are ridiculous and I’d refuse to answer them too. Like asking “whether she viewed her husband’s behavior as dishonest and a violation of their marriage vows.” I wouldn’t answer that. You could ask me if I knew that he had drugged women quaaludes. You could ask me why I didn’t go to the…

You were featured on the same show in an episode about your breasts and were not allowed to show them?

I knew from back when he first joined Access Hollywood.

Same, and I’m a survivor of childhood sexual abuse. Some survivors “steel themselves” before attempting to describe what has happened to them, and may seem quite emotionally detached. I myself get this way. How we live and heal (or not) after traumatic events may not always make sense to those who have never had…

It is indeed more prevalent and insidious, and also far stickier, because it has to do with our continuous exposure to a racist society and the ideas we absorb unnoticed and uncritically from it, not about our intentions. I would really like to think I’m less racially biased than average, but 1) I’m certainly not…

I’m always lobbying for “Grey Amnesty Day”. Of course it’s more frustrating to be in the greys but we all lose out. I think most people habitually hit “show pending” and try to pull people out but it’s still a bad system. And somehow trolls find their way out anyway.

Subconscious racism is a much bigger, more prevalent and more insidious problem.

Additionally, you have to wonder if some of the initial doubt from the jurors about the credibility of the witness was at least subconsciously informed by some racial bias.

“During her testimony, she became very emotional and cried. You could just see something different in her when she started talking about the rape and when it happened,” said Speaks.

THIS. After working in therapeutic group homes with kids everyone else has given up on, I just want to scream to the world: PEOPLE SUFFERING FROM MENTAL HEALTH DISORDERS STILL HAVE VALUE AND THEIR LIVES DO TOO.

This is one of the saddest stories I’ve ever read.
