Sorry, this was a bad reply. But I agree with you! And I’m very sick of movies and TV shows and even, like, advertisements that profess to condemn something while directly and explicitly contributing to that thing they’re saying they condemn!

If you have read her statement, you will see that she says pretty much exactly what you did about acknowledging her. If he had ever shown any remorse, apologized or treated the act as anything more than “oops, I drank too much” - that’s all she wanted/needed. But to dig in and go for the “now I talk about the dangers…

Just because you're an idiot doesn't mean the rest of us have to be.

My parents love me. They will love me no matter what. They would come visit me in jail. They would not defend me raping somebody.

And it looked like she married the guy so he could get citizenship in the country or something and he probably was paying her for it.

Back in the very early 90s when I was an aspiring actress, I joined this group called the Actors Information Project which looked like something that would help kickstart my career and on the surface, it kind of did. But it didn’t take long to scratch beneath what seemed like a legit career coaching organization, to…

I would add too that in general it is a bad sign when you need to pay more money to advance through the levels of any spiritual organization.

Three quick keys to figuring out if you’re in a dangerous cult.
