I can’t believe his legal team released a statement about this. If they wanted to rebut and question her, that’s what the deposition was for! That lawyer should be ashamed of herself for being so unprofessional.

Gawker was not the only place that wrote about this, which is why I linked to several other outlets that covered the multiple lawsuits filed against Singer. If you work in Hollywood and you work with Singer I think you have a responsibility to be aware of these lawsuits, period.
It was a choice. A choice to not know. I don’t believe no one ever mentioned it as you signed on to a potential blockbuster movie directed by a man with serious allegations against him. Someone - the agent, the PR team, your acting pals - at least brought it up because it would impact your reputation, or just because…
“As a Puerto Rican woman myself”
There’s a lot of gossip (the currency of Hollywood) that Singer has enough photo evidence on enough powerful people to bring the entire place down, so he’s been pretty untouchable. I have absolutely no idea if this is true, but considering how not subtle he is, there’s got to be something he’s holding.
I’m still wondering how that fucker Dan Schneider hasn’t been hung out to dry in public. Losing his job is not enough if even a tenth of the rumors are true.
How has Bryan Singer skated by for so long? He is well overdue for his Weinstein/Spacey moment.
Oh, holy shit, there’s a lot to unpack here.
“I didn’t have much experience of how to organize domesticity.”
I have been WAITING IMPATIENTLY for this show to return. So funny.
I’m so in love with this image I’m going to tattoo it on my person.
Ha. I’m remembering when Michael K at DListed called Lohan “the Apricot Ashtray”.
Of all the comedians I’d expect to offer such a resolute defense of Panama Jackoff, she’s pretty near the bottom. At worst you expect she would go for the noncommittal “he’s my friend”defense.
Whipping his dick out was bad enough, but he also actively tried to ruin the careers of those women and anyone who tried to report on it as well. People don’t talk about that enough. Like so much fucking hand-wringing over a guy’s “ruined reputation” and literally nothing about the reps of all the women he crushed…
“And I really can’t see the Garofalo of the early 90s - the alt comic feminist - allowing a comic of that generation to skate so easily if they’d done something like that to her.”
Look, I get standing up for a friend. But compare this to what Marc Maron said about C.K., also longtime friends. He had asked C.K. privately about the (at the time) rumors and Louis said they weren’t true. When C.K. admitted to the behavior, Maron said on the podcast that Louis had straight up lied to him and fuck…
She’s really using the “He has daughters!” excuse? And tossing in “I’ve known him forever!” and “You weren’t there!”
I’m happy that she released this so that the survivors may feel more supported and publicly validated.
Is she gonna apologize for working with Terry Richardson, too?
Any objection to her working with R. Kelly and Terry Richarson fell into deaf ears with her, so I don’t even think this is a coming late to the party scenario, it is damage control
