I love that story.

Don’t feel like you need to prove anything or respond. I think everyone realizes how weird and creepy meteor is being.

It just seems like there would have to be something more to the story. If she had confessed that she hit him hard over the head with a paddle and then took away his paddle and took the plug, that seems more plausible. Wouldn’t he notice that his kayak was slowly taking on water and turn to shore? Honestly, I don’t…

I know. I was just clarifying that when I wrote “very young” that Richards was describing them as possibly legal but wasn’t sure, which supports him being capable/interested in assaulting 13-year-old, male, Haim, versus “very young kids” which might normally be taken to mean 4-year-olds.

But, how did she take it away if he was holding on to it? I mean, she could have, but it seems like she would have had to fight really hard, unless the water was freezing cold.

She was totally trashed by the media at the time though. But vindicated a million times over since then.

I was reminded today of Denise Richards divorce filings, which alleged that he visited porn sites that featured both really young looking girls and boys. I think meaning early teens as opposed to children.  

Oh, she has receipts now too. Police report filed, producer identified, and witnesses saying she told them about it the next day:

This is...ironic? since I was just arguing with some troll over on Jezebel who was accusing women who didn’t speak up sooner of being complicit. And here we have a prime example of a woman not being believed and being trashed when she does speak up. Ignore the fools.

In case you believe this sincerely, and are not just trolling, think of it like a gay person coming out. Someone coming out of the closet 50 years ago, or 20 years ago, or even 10 years ago, would face much different repercussions than someone coming out today (who still faces repercussions). If going public in a…

And this line at the ends says everything about the casting couch and sexual assault in general, “Let’s stop pretending these things can’t really be happening—and then, as soon as we learn it did happen, tell the person it happened to, “well what else did you expect?””

Sometimes a mouthy feminist really does have to take one for the team.

I missed that at the time. But her whole career is based on being outrageous, so I am not surprised that she was not well-suited to management.

It is such a weird message to give, but at the same time true. I am white and have a white friend who has reallllly gotten in to BLM and talking about racism all the time on Facebook. And it is not like she is actually a huge racist in disguise, but I am still like (to myself) “Tone it down. It is just a little…

Wow. On behalf of that girl, thank you for looking out for her.

He definitely was/is into much younger, troubled actresses.

As a parent, these things terrify me. That they happen, but also that they happen and I would never know until years later. Do you think there is anything your parents could have done differently to make you say something up front?

I sort of doubt that a 14-year-plod understood the intricacies of whether she had insurance and how that would impact her treatment in China. However, I do not doubt that she was under pressure not to complain about being sick and didn’t have anyone looking out for her.

Yes, his character is definitely creepy in that film.

I wasn’t sure if they had turnout by demographic, but it turns out they do. Looks like turnout for white women was about 66.8%.
