“Entire HR structure”

Believe me, I am pissed at a bunch of people, including Damon and Affleck and literally everyone on the board and all of the senior executives who knew about this, circulated memos about it, helped pay the women off, and were too scared or too greedy, or a really special combo of the two, to ever actually do anything.…

That’s what makes me really angry. She could have elegantly denounced him and sympathized with his victims without trying to make it sound like she had heard NOTHING. This is simply BS. She (and her reps) spent so much time with him— award shows, film festivals, press junkets. Anyone who worked in the industry knew…

Coddled eggs for the win!

Unless Meryl Streep literally lives in an ivory tower and descends only for film roles, her statement is total BS. Everyone knew. She may not have personally experienced it, I definitely didn’t, but everyone knew about it. Worst kept secret in the industry.

How much do we think Glasser helped leak internal documents to move up the chain?

This. And, I like being the color I am, who I am. I like enjoying all of my fancy and colorful friends. “I don’t see color” is the most ignorant and insidious form of racism. Truly defines white privilege because to them an even playing field means sameness and not acceptance and understanding.

100%. This is as unscripted as a WWE fight. Now if only we could combine the two, I’d love to see the Pelosi V McConnell grudge match.

Well played.

Or Beast Post Office (because who doesn’t love a good real estate joke?).

Would you prefer Beast Adjacent?

Not to be racist about men who look like the stupidest of the three little pigs, but why do they ALL look like that? Little tiny nose, little piggy eyes, extra chins, skin the texture and color of spoiled milk, and an overall smugness that I’d like to smack off his greasy face. Yeah, single is no surprise, he hasn’t…

It was a lot, like a lot of a lot. I can’t even unwind how racisty racist that letter is, but it feels like an English major could diagram the shit out of how fucked up that was.

“Are you trying to put your penis in my mouth, Mike?”

Before I read the thread I thought it was getting weirdly racist in here...

I’m mixed race, and I wish I had grown up with a mom like you. I had to break off all communication. She died when I turned 40, I don’t regret my decision, but I wish she had been a happier person.
