To be fair, that particular commenter was “furious and horrified” because she thought she’d received a counterfeit box of Pampers, which would be a shitty (haha) thing to do, and without a doubt absolutely does happen.

The most baffling thing I find about the “good boy who made mistakes” take is that it can somehow exist alongside the “if she’s telling the truth, why didn’t she go to the police?” takes.

She performed with R Kelly, you really think she gives a shit?

She might turn a blind eye because she either like/respect him. It’s human nature to be more generous/forgiving to those they like. She did that with Terry Richardson.

If anyone wanted to touch this property, Peters came with it. It’s either do the film with Peters as producer. Or you can’t do it at all.

I can’t believe she didn’t know. I don’t even live in California or work in the movie business and I knew--this guy has had “piece of fucking work” written all over him since the 80s. He’s almost defiantly loathsome. I assumed he’d been run out of the industry by now, and I’m genuinely stunned that not only is he…

I’ve worked in media/IP law for a while now, and you can’t even imagine the chain of rights for some properties, and how long people can hold on to them if they want to (fun fact, at the turn of the last century, J.M. Barrie gave all rights in perpetuity to an entity known as the Great Ormond Street Hospital in the…

He had legacy rights on the property; he didn’t have any hands-on involvement with the new movie.

It would be a huge shock if someone in her world (managers, agents etc.)hadn’t told her. Its not a secret that he’s a pig.

To some extent, I understand wanting to work with guys, despite knowing they are terrible, if you think they are super-talented or they bring something special to the table.

Probably she didn’t. He keeps that producer shield up, and if he’s banned from the sets she may not even have met him.

Maybe she didn’t know. Maybe she knew some, but not the extent. Maybe she desperately wanted the role and didn’t want to shortchange her own acting career in response to his conduct.

Whenever I read about Samantha going off on a bitchy rant about how Meghan needs to show some respect and be a nicer person, I’m reminded of Many Moore’s character in Saved!

I got that completely wrong, and I realize that now thanks to a helpful commenter above who remembered her name and provided a wiki-link.

I love Alyssa Milano politically - she has been pretty amazing and outspoken.  I don’t like that that in no way matches up with how she is on PR.

I only saw it a couple of times in the beginning but I don’t think they had the same judges either. Zac Posen is also a big reason why i like the show. 

I agree. I would hope that Perry reached out to him and had a conversation about this privately before tweeting about it, but you never know...

noting that the French government recently bestowed a prestigious award upon her

I think we all know....

All you need to say is that Hugh Laurie is gonna lead an Armando Iannucci show.
