there are rumblings Ariana Grande and Jennette McCurdy might speak out against Schneider - but like I said...rumblings.
It did. But the Cosby story broke a couple times before it got any traction, so Singer and his actions could come back around and maybe stick this time.
This is the only acceptable solution for House of Cards otherwise the show will forever be tainted by Spacey’s horribleness.
Short answer? Money.
I will be very interested to see how people manage this reaction if/when the Bryan Singer and Dan Schneider stories break. How do managers, tutors, and parents ... people legally and morally obligated to protect children say they had no idea these things were happening? It was literally their jobs to know! How do you…
Yet...
Thanks! It has been a crazy year and a half, but my hair’s growing back and my current treatment is mostly pills to take at home. I have a book coming out in 2019 (a picture book) and I’m curating my first exhibition in 2020 (I work in a museum) biggest goal is to be here for those. 😊
Same here.
Thank you for using the word ambivalent. It’s a perfect descriptor here. Corey Feldman is a victim. So are all of Weinstein’s accusers. I can’t help but think that one of the undercurrents in all of this is about homophobia and masculinity and I know the comments section may not be the right place to parse it but I’m…
One of the “dreary segments” you skipped was actually very important to a Jezebel audience. It was about a 31 year old with incurable metastatic breast cancer. As a 42 year old with MBC (diagnosed right off the bat as stage 4 metastatic without a family history, without drinking, smoking, or taking hormonal birth…
Let’s not attack the victim here. Let’s recognize that he remains, as a consequence of his abusive childhood, at the stunted emotional development of a young child. Let’s place the blame for his immaturity and inability to recognize other victims where it belongs on his attackers and his parents and everyone who…
I don’t think anyone is having an easy time navigating all of this. It’s a complex topic and it’s never been given a national platform before. I think there’s an opportunity for everyone to learn something from this: me, you and even Feldman (who lived through it). When I first came on Jez a few years ago I wrote…
I hate that he said that, but I can’t help feeling sorry for him anyway. It seems like he’s had a pretty unhappy life.
I kind of feel like Meagan Kelly (I don’t care that I spelled her name wrong) has decided that milking the sex abuse scandals are how to make sure she doesn’t get cancelled.
For weeks she was cycling between dark, medium, then light. But it stopped a little while ago. Are you trying to send us a message, Megyn? Is this some sort of code?
The problem is enforcement, and specifically the unwillingness of companies and organizations to enforce sexual harassment policies.
As long as the expected outcome is a list of “recommendations”, then it’s all bullshit. The people who decide if the recommendations will be adopted are the same people who presided over the toxic environment.
This.
I’m so glad that they refused to join a task force. Task forces and commissions have always been a way to trick people into believing that something is being done. I can’t tell you how many accounts of people who quit because their hands were tied on those boards.
