When actual women come forward. Now it’s just a cos lawyer saying they exist.

My husband was the Showrunner for a yet to be aired show on Scientology and all of the ex’s he worked with heavily advised he buy up all the open internet domains that he could think of that might allude to him being a pedophile, sexual predator, etc. We did. As much contempt as I have for Leah, I believe she and…

Echoing that COS would ABSOLUTELY pull this shit.

Is the Publicist CoS? And are the four ANONYMOUS accusers? If so, then hell no this is a lie.

I would put absolutely nothing past the cult of scientology. From covering up accusations of rape to protect members like Danny Masterson to the possibility of making false accusations of rape to punish former members; these fuckers are not to be trusted.

They’ll stalk, harass and threaten former members. They’re tax exempt pretty much because the IRS didn’t want to deal with them. So yeah, this is something they’d absolutely do if they possibly could.

They build entire websites making false accusations against former member who speak out about them. Seizing the moment of Women vs. Hollywood in this case against Haggis surprises literally no one who pays attention to CoS and their misdeeds.

Three words: fair. game. policy. And vengeance for Danny. CoS is scary. Still, it is not mine to question the accusations, I believe women, and I can only pray that the truth prevails.

I think it’s great that woman are finally being taken seriously when telling their stories about inappropriate (and worse) behavior, but objectively, the ‘detailed story’ is not in the text. While he clearly engaged in some behavior she was uncomfortable with (which he didn’t dispute) there’s nothing about what he did…

Since you and reading comprehension have, at most, a passing acquaintance: my problem isn’t Babe.net specifically. It could have been Boobs.org or Pervs.edu. It’s that I am almost 100 percent certain she shopped this to other, bigger sites and they passed. And why would they pass?

Andrew Sullivan latest article articulates this very well. If you are going to make a career altering accusation then put your name on it

She’s not pressing charges. She’s using the press and doing it anonymously. That is problematic for me. It may not be for you. YMMV.

Agree with this. What Aziz did was wrong and gross, but it’s interesting that she’s publishing this on such a small-time blog. Even though he apologized, I’m wondering why she felt the need to shop this around to different publications. Also, I don’t know how I feel about that incident being “the worst night of her…

Wouldn’t the nudity and oral sex mean the signals were, at worse, mixed?

I haven’t really misjudged anything. I’ve seen one side of the story. His apology was for making her feel uncomfortable/pressured or whatever. He said he misread signals.

She’s making a life-altering accusation. “Incredibly detailed story?” Give me a fucking break. Tell me why she should be granted anonymity.

It’s tough because while I want to give every protection to victims, I agree. If you’re going to put your story out in this way, you should step forward.

Two problems with this story (or really one combined major problem):

Yeah, strangely Gambon's Dumbledore felt like he never had control of the situation. He never seemed wise.

Oh God. Why is this such a sticking point with people? I have seen this exact complaint come up so many times and I just don't get it. So in the book it says Dumbledore whispers something, and then in the movie, which is staged in a different and visually dynamic way, he shouts the line. So?
