Maybe because you don’t get a concussion from being yelled at.

Maybe this is a generational divide, but I assumed “written it down immediately” meant the Notes app on his phone. Because no, people don’t usually bring a pen and paper into a Portapotty these days.

Yup.  Agree with all of this.  It wasn’t his strongest work, but I was reserving judgement until seeing the whole thing.  Hope it succeeds because I want to see the whole story, and also because I like that he put his own money up for it.  As TV-ish as some of it felt, it still needs to be seen on the biggest screens…

Genuinely bummed about this. I really liked Chapter 1 and was excited for Chapter 2. From the first moment of the film you are reminded why Costner has a Best Director Oscar for a western. These films deserve to be seen on a big screen. I hope he gets a chance to finish it. Honestly the weirdest choice was releasing…

I don’t know why Yi didn’t contact the union? They will have observers go to set. I don’t know why you’d go to HR instead of your union first if you have one. HR is about protecting the employer; your union is about you.

I feel for this person but they’re handling it all wrong. 

What do you mean, fabricated? She’s done this on several projects. I’m concerned something happened in the past that was very traumatic, and she’s carrying that trauma forward and making mountains out of molehills on other projects. Sometimes people with trauma don’t see red flags and go into the same situations. Or…

Plus how is that list helpful?

Fair enough. Not yet, I suppose it depends on the nature of the allegations and public awareness/sentiment toward the accused, but again with the rose mcgowan example: i don’t think many people going into 2017 had predicted “ ‘90s actress’ with a “fading” career will be a time person of the year recipient”

I agree - leaning too hard on someone during a scene has plausible deniability. It could be an opportunity for an abuser to covertly hurt someone. And sometimes abusers intentionally victimize people who have spoken up about abuse before, knowing they victim will be perceived as crying wolf.

I’m having trouble visualizing how this works. How does a spine compress from a person pressing their entire body against someone else’s back? Compression injuries to vertebrae usually come from impacts like falls or car accidents. If it’s a pinched nerve it makes a bit more sense than a fractured vertebra, but that…

“I went into shock and denial” is not a natural progression in the described circumstance. It feels very much like revamping one’s story after the fact to push a narrative. It certainly feels and sounds recontextualizing, which is to be sympathized, but not necessarily taken as fact.

If it turns that it was really that little kid, jumping on her for piggyback rides, that would be quite the turn, lol.

Probably not the best term, but not far off. I’m thinking of stuff like high profile speaking engagements and an elevated status as an authority, e.g. rose mcgowan before she went terf and pissed that away

For sure. That little shit got to work significantly better hours and people treated him preferentially in other situations; for example he had an on set tutor and a female companion that he disgustingly called “mother”.

Honestly it happens to Yi so much that I wonder if they are in the wrong line of work.  

If you click through to the initial (multiscreen) Instagram post, their “coworkers, producers and HR” may have said similar things.

Hahaha I didn’t realize, but that kinda would make more sense than an adult doing it. 

But is she abused on every project, or is she someone with untreated trauma who keeps transferring that trauma onto every project she works on?
She often tries to leave projects that are underway. Not every set is a happy set, but not every set is a miserable hell-hole, either. She’s also typically working on projects…

the....the child???

Let me save everyone a google:
