My very first RA in college led a sexual assault seminar for the dorm (it’s mandated at that school) and when she got to the part where she was talking about alcohol and consent her final word on it was “If you shouldn’t be driving, then you shouldn’t be fucking anyone.” And that always seemed, to me, like a nice way…

Nope. He had already left his job.

I think DeMaario being branded a rapist is a cultural problem.

My understanding was the accusation was that the producers were potentially at fault for setting up a situation with two people who were both too drunk to consent to anything.

You do realize that men are more likely to be raped than to be falsely accused of rape.

I’d reject any claims that one party sexually assaulted the other, but I think it’s fair to question whether any wrong doing perhaps did occur despite legal advice that it didn’t. The practice of plying people with alcohol then encouraging them to engage in risky or sexual behaviour is not ok.

being aware of your behavior in the moment doesn’t mean you’re not too drunk to consent.

Why would you immediately begin to question someone who says they are a victim? Genuinely curious.

From the minute this production shut down was reported, there have been contradictory reports from different sources running on different media outlets. If there was conclusive video evidence from the beginning that nothing had happened, I have a hard time believing they would have shut down production which must have…

“...the tape does not support any charge of misconduct by a cast member”

You have to be a perfect victim or it’s your fault.

That’s exactly what I’m thinking might have been the case; producers heavily “encouraged” her to get wasted, she gets intimate with Jackson, doesn’t remember it the next day and understandably feels like something wasn’t right, especially if her last memories are of trying to avoid drinking. She never specifically…

Regardless of what happened in this particular situation, plying employees with alcohol and telling them to engage in sexual behaviour is seriously dodgy stuff. It’s sexual harassment all round, imo.

I want with all my heart for their investigation to have been unbiased and both parties were not hurt. However, Olympics did make a statement that makes me feel like there is more behind the scenes and that she may have been harmed. The harm may have not been done by Jackson, but by the producers themselves for…

Production resumes handing out liquor, getting people drunk and in compromising positions.

“The Ramsey case has consumed the national imagination for the twenty years it’s gone unsolved...”

Janet Jackson comes to mind. She was bigger than Lady Gaga and totally lost her career because Justin Timberlake ripped her bra off and her nipple was exposed for a split second. She was branded a trashy whore who was ruining America’s values for doing nothing but getting accidentally exposed, but Justin Timberlake,…

Pointing out it’s not your body is not bitchy. Being a little weirded out to have your image used as fanart without your consent is normal, and being gracious about it (as most stars are) is professional. Demi was gracious enough to compliment the artwork, but just noted that this is not actually her body, and the…

Caitlyn Jenner can go fuck herself.

If indeed he did kill his sister, why would exposing it serve no purpose? I don’t understand your comment.
