Yeah, whatever happened to the idea of “in vino, veritas”? Nowadays people blame intoxicants for turning them into monsters. No, maybe the booze just made you drop your veneer of civility and reveal your true self.

Man, I love it when people resort to “it wasn’t me! It was [booze/drugs/porn/the devil] that made me do it!”
I was coming to the comments to say the same thing. It really pisses me off that awful, inappropriate behavior like this can be classified as problems with “drugs and alcohol” and/or “sex addiction”. Not saying that this guy doesn’t have issues with drug and alcohol abuse, but I’m sick of that being a “get out of jail…
With my story, it’s because I thought I brought it on myself. I was not sober. I felt like shit for putting myself in a position where something like this would happen. For freezing up and not pushing him away when I was very uncomfortable and afraid of speaking up and thinking “maybe deal with this, he will go away…
Totally. I’ve done things I’ve been embarrassed about while drunk, but nothing that violent or damaging to another person.
Life or Death has a zero tolerance policy for the type of conduct alleged in today’s on-line postings. We take these allegations very seriously.
Berru didn’t respond to an email I sent to his personal account requesting comment or to multiple phone calls, but early on Wednesday, he released a statement in which he admitted to drug and alcohol problems. In this statement, Berru addresses the women who’ve accused him generally but does not go into specifics, and…
I’ve long heard these rumors as well as well as the rumor that will and a producer we caught allegedly “in flagrante delicto” with a male producer of “The Fresh Prince” in his dressing room by his first wife.
Yeah. He seems like such a good guy, and he has done a lot of movies. I’m not sure any of them has been particularly notable, but, I mean, they invite Kate flippin’ Bosworth, fachrissake, who hasn’t done anything interesting in... well ever. You’d think Ice could go too.
I feel bad Ice T never got invited to the Oscars.
Wanna smile?
If I share my exercise equipment with you, are the muscles you build the result of my work or yours? If I’m a chef who lets you use my kitchen to practise, am I responsible for your culinary creativity?
I knew while writing it, I was being a jerk HOWEVER while I respect and am glad of places offering scholarships to make their programs and classes more diverse, it irks me a little that you have to provide a sob story about how you’re the perfect representation or a POC and DESERVING of their attention.
Exactly. It’s like people WANT white men to be held to the lowest bar possible. Hm.
Because speaking up is worthless when you are LITERALLY CAPABLE OF CHANGING THE GAME YOURSELF YET YOU STILL DON’T. Because it’s completely hypocritical.
I mean George Clooney wants to support diversity, he does! But not at the expense of his comfort. Like I said once in a diversity scholarship application. “You should pick me because I’m just hispanicky enough to make an audience feel good about the diversity they’re seeing on stage but not so hispanicky that they…
He’s still the 9th-highest paid actor in Hollywood, all-time, so his cries of discrimination seem a bit overblown. Also, he just wasn’t that good in “Concussion.” Samuel L. Jackson was much better in “The Hateful Eight,” and I haven't heard shit from him.
I think knowing first hand what it’s like to work with Will and being blacklisted in Hollywood thanks to him, gives her enough insight to understand what is going on here. These people push their kids into any major Hollywood front door to get opportunities they don’t deserve, and they’re acting oppressed? Other black…
Bitter, sure, but she made some good points, no? If she asked Will to organize and ask for more money for their show, and she got that answer (“I got my deal, you got your own deals”), she has a point.
According to the linked article, there were only about six kids in the group. I cannot even FATHOM how she “suggested one was not” a virgin. Did she, like, point to one of them and go “this slut right here is CLEARLY catching dick left and right, but what about the rest of you?”
