I worked for someone just like this. I stayed WAY longer than a few months (kudos to you) but I clearly relate to the PTSD effect of the verbal abuse. I got to a point where I had to steel myself every day to go in and try to be as invisible as possible. I think the verbal abuse and the submissiveness of those exposed…

This type of abuse is de rigueur in Hollywood. I was an executive assistant to a female manager that was on her way up over ten years ago and she was a horrible verbal abuser. She had been abused by her family and the people that she worked for before she became someone and truly saw the abuse that she doled out as…

you guys I feel like a total asshole hijacking this weinstein article to post this, but I know we’ve all been waiting for at least one voice against Singer.

Olivia Munn was dragged through the mud because of this asshole not just in the media but specifically in Hollywood. He made it so that studio assholes thought that she was immediately up for grabs at parties and auditions, meanwhile, always victim-blaming gossip rags started describing her as a casting couch darling…

I am glad this continues to be the year women fight back. Let’s call out ALL the mother fuckers.

What’s amazing is how the argument works both ways. She’s lying because she tried to shake him down for money! She’s lying because she never asked for any money!

Singer is next. He has to be.

OK, I truly don’t want this to turn into a terminology thread - the news is that Kevin Spacey doesn’t deny sexually assaulting a child. Again, though, the issue can be confused by inaccurate words because pederasty refers to male-male homosexual relations. Historically, it also includes the belief that the boy was…

Holy shit- I had 5 people all tell me in the comments section that pedophilia is the wrong word to use because the kid was actually a teenager and that the whole gay thing would not be an issue because only some conservatives believe being gay=pedophile. The justification and “Well actually...” was unexpected.

I appreciate how Bobby Finger felt he needed to take a shot at Kristen Bell for making her daughter happy, but didn’t feel like making any actual effort when writing the copy and instead just chucked in a generic ‘attention whore’ jab. He did a half-assed job of mocking a person for going above and beyond. Well done,…

It was those posts that moved me out of Spacey fandom. I realized that the thing I liked about him— that ability to project bland menace—is part of his actual predatory behavior and it got ickier to watch.

Arg. In the comments on one of the other articles on the Daily Mail about Rapp and Spacey, people keep saying the Rose McGowan needs to shut up because she accepted money. People really need to be taught about the concept of weregild and payment for injury.

Because that’s how the media is. It only is interested in stories about people who will sue them, AFTER they get revealed by someone else. And sometimes, not even then.

I’m waiting for Singer to be dragged slowly over hot coals.

To paraphrase a guy in the HuffPo comments section, “I’ve been very very gay. I’ve been very very drunk. Neither has ever resulted in me making a move on a 14 year-old.”

I am glad to see the Kevin Spacey follow up. This is a man who used to sue magazines for even suggesting that he was gay. Now he is using it as an excuse for pedophilia. All this “apology” is going to do is give Fox News and the other RWNJ a focal point for gays are bad/ librul Hollyweird/ distract from political…

Sometimes I just get so tired by it all. I swear the writers are Jezebel are becoming such caricatures. Every person they write up frequently must be the best thing ever or omg we hate her and think everything she does is horrible. Dislike Taylor Swift’s music all you want but to call her irrelevant is ludicrous. I…

I had a science prof in college who referred to Crick & Watson as “Men who know a lot about DNA and taking credit for others work”. As in, final exam: “please write a short essay about the discoveries made by Rosalind Franklin and men who know a lot about DNA and taking credit for others’ work”.
