I don’t think I’ve argued that he shouldn’t have asked about it. But she, just like anyone, can not answer the question. And when the interviewer refuses to let it go, that’s usually when the publicist comes in to tell the person to knock it off.

I couldn’t agree with you more. I’m a female physician and I’ve gotten many requests to be on committees related to gender diversity, to give talks about raising a family in the medical field, to be on committees on how to promote diversity in medical research. And I agree to participate in these things because I…
One one hand, I do think it’s a legit question, and not one she or her publicist, if they’re any good at their jobs, would be totally unprepared to have asked.
I feel like he’s criticizing the publicist, not Hendricks. Still, it is damn weird to write an article about not getting the answers he wanted from Hendricks. Not sure what the purpose of this was. We are well aware publicists do this sort of thing all the time.
“Look, as a former journalist, you call me to do a story, you make it worth my while.”
Here’s the thing though: Rich is not a journalist. And they didn’t contact him to set up a proper interview with a journalist. They reached out to entertainment reporters working for digital media companies to promote her film, in the hopes of getting a positive story about the movie and Hendrick’s performance. That’s…
Just as Rose McGowan chose to work with someone convicted of a sex crime, it’s fair game to ask Hendricks about working with Weiner
It’s so crazy how some people don’t respond well to a random “hey tell me if you’ve ever been sexually assaulted!”
This was an interesting read. Thanks for parting the curtain on interview scheduling, I was dying to know all about that process. Making a woman uncomfortable over a man’s bad behavior isn’t the framing device I’d have gone with, I don’t think, but then I’m not a man so...
Just to take the hook, the President paying off a hooker a few days before the election is a massive story by any measure (and only in 2018 would this even need to be explained).
But, on the bright side, we’ve managed to make #metoo about putting women on the spot and make them uncomfortable in fun new ways. It was the natural endgame.
“She always has the choice to decline to answer.”
The bigger issue here seems to be why you feel entitled to her answers, and why you think that she should have to talk about Matthew Weiner just because she has spoken out about sexism in the past.
Is anyone going to ask men about #metoo or is it only potential female rape victims who get interrogated endlessly as to whether they’ve been raped? Maybe she feels she can’t afford to be truthful. What an ungrateful dumb bitch.
I’m not a lawyer, but it seems like the issue isn’t that the agreement wasn’t signed, it was that it wasn’t signed by Trump, and whether that makes it enforceable based on subsequent events.
2018 and we may be saved by Satanists, Teen Vogue reporting, porn stars, and high schoolers.
Satire has left the building.
Huh... funny that God would send a porn actress to bring down a “god-fearing champion of the religious right”.... LOL, the Big Guy has a wicked sense of humor!!!
I don’t know that he’ll be enjoying “his” money so much as ours.
