From other websites I’ve seen this reported while the police took her accusations seriously they also mislead or lied to her about how they were going to handle her investigation. She claims that they told her the investigation would be kept quiet, but just a few days later the police were giving a huge press…

Seeing as how Wendy Williams was heavily involved in going after this woman how about Jez promises to never cover her garbage bullshit ever again? Please?

It is prejudicial. Too bad we do not have a legal system that can effectively protect the rights of those on trial-we still incarcerate & execute innocent people -while allowing for evidence that points to an individual’s track record of intentionally causing serious harm to other’s for personal gain or without remorse

Paul Bettany openly talked about what Von Trier got up to on the set of Dogville. I seem to recall it was stuff like buying a stack of porn mags and telling an actress that they were Bettany’s. Said he hated the guy so much by the end of the shoot that he dragged his bed away from the hotel wall because he knew Von…

If you need a completely cynical take, I’d go with prosecuting a murder is the only action they could take that would allow them to say “look, we acted in favor of a transgender person, we don’t discriminate” without completely alienating their slobbering base. Only the most horrible on that side will actually speak…

The extremely cynical part of me is thinking they are taking on this case so they can deliberately botch it and/or create an opportunity for bad legal precedent for future cases involving hate crimes against transgender people. To the criminal lawyers out there, can this case, if appealed to higher courts, result in a…

I feel like I can translate this pretty well.

Can you just ban commenters that make that joke? It was a stale joke last year.

Fucking Marsha Blackburn grrrrrr snarrrrllll $&%) #@#/!! *spit

People tell each other to fuck off all the time on Twitter.

I’ve gotten in many heated debates about this very thing. I have often called out the supposed liberals and their die hard defence of hateful bullshit. Everyone jumps over each other to be the cool one who defends free speech but stay largely silent when freedom of expression, to assemble, and to speak are actually…

yes yes yes. and as the article points out, you suspend her for simply speaking her truth and pointing out the hypocrisies of these scum, but yet you allow someone, who arguably has the most powerful position in the world right now, to systematically abuse and attack others, calling for their firing, and even…

True, but it’s also because Twitter uses an idiotic system to decide who to suspend. Swear or make violent threats at a prominent account, and you’re probably going to get booted. Anything else, they’re only going to care if they get a lot of complaints.

Yeah, and Marsha Blackburn posted a video with blatant lies in it that was taken down and put right back up after whining, but apparently what McGowen posted is just a bridge too far for Twitter.

I think those who display a very basic misunderstanding of what free speech is are the people who make me want to burn the internet to the ground the most.

The McGowan suspension is just an example of the larger problem with free speech in the United States. Americans are conditioned to think of free speech as how far you’re willing to go to protect white supremacist terrorists (i.e. the right of the KKK to march on a town) and not how far you’re willing to go to protect…

I know a quite a few others for Ben to apologize to. If you worked with him on a movie in the 2000s, he wasn’t even trying to hide it.

She has spoken. No fire lighting, just setting the record straight (no relationship of any sort with him but awareness of the gossip concerning her): http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/gretchen-mol-breaks-silence-harvey-weinstein-misogynistic-rumors-guest-column-1047418

She’s probably barricaded behind a terrifying NDR. But yeah, I’d love to hear from her.

I’m curious where Gretchen Mol is with all of this. If you believe the blind items that circulated about the two of them, he preyed on her for years, dangling offers in exchange for sex only to rescind them immediately. If she chooses to come forward, I hope she lights him on fucking fire.
