Well, let me put it this way - I wouldn’t be here (literally, biology won’t allow it) if my parents didn’t meet each other, live happily with one another, and conceive.  They’ve been happily married and both are role models in my life; I can confirm my dad treats my mom very well.

Yup.

Right, use that soap opera music they use for Oscar Bluth hinting Buster is his son, cast against type, and be, “The part of George Bluth will now be played by Nathan Lane.” Hell, recast it every week, and do the same schtick. “The part of George Bluth will now be played by Ansel Elgort ... Ricky Fucking Schroeder...…

YES that caught my eye as well. That signaled to me that he was very uncomfortable about what was transpiring. As to what made him uncomfortable I couldn’t say.

I should note, Hollywood was largely happy to exile Roseanne — save for a few reality shows and pilots that went on to be rejected — until reboots from the 90s became big.

Their lack of respect for her both as a colleague and a professional was appalling. Obviously, abusing anyone is wrong, but her career could more than rival Tambor’s. The idea that she couldn’t tell the difference between a minor spat and behavior on set that is beyond the norm is absurd.

Hold on. I’m no fan of Goop, but she has never ever been known to berate and/or harass any of her coworkers.

Total gaslighting. And it’s offensive, like she isn’t a professional actor herself, who knows what to expect on a set.

Exactly. To me it read like gaslighting.

they can just go fuck themselves. the show isn’t even that funny. also i perused the article (will not read thoroughly cuz again, fuck them) and the most reasonable quote is from Alia Shawkat who is only quoted twice in the whole damn circle jerk of a “conversation”:

There’s a term for that, it’s called a “Diva”, see: Gwyneth Paltrow.

I am SO glad they included the audio in the NYT article. People need to HEAR how the men in the room COMPLETELY disregarded everything she had to say about it

I think this interview will feel very familiar to any women that wants people to know what happened to them was not okay, but also feel pressured to go along to get along.

EXACTLY THIS. Why are his feelings so much more important than hers, other than that she’s a woman?

Jessica Walter is a gift and she shouldn’t have to deal with this. How is it that she’s stating that she has NEVER been yelled at like that throughout her career, and everyone is blowing past it??

No, Jessica, you don’t have to be friends with him! God I could cry.

Reading the way these guys dismiss the incident in front of their co-worker who clearly DOESN’T THINK IT WAS NOTHING is very discomfiting. I get loyalty, even misplaced loyalty, but they don’t seem to have any toward Walter.

Because I’m naive and believe people are good until I learn otherwise. That, and I like his work

Correct me if I’m wrong but this just leaves Arnet, who plays the worst of the brothers, as the only male actor on the show not to handwaive sexual assault and bullying.

Dammit Jason, I thought you were one of the good ones
