Celeb (and Celeb SO's) Sexual Harassment Thread

[megladon8]

This is the crap that I would throw in the “witch hunt” category when people use that term for what’s going on.

Blatant click bait that puts negativity on someone completely undeserving of it, for the purpose of fuelling the fire on the Internet.

[Grouchy]

I have no doubts that the scumbags who run some of these political campaigns would be more than willing to make shit up and pay people to lie about it.

Something like this already happened to Julian Assange, right? They used a sexual harassment allegation to try to arrest him.

[Grouchy]

And speaking of clickbait, this is a thing now.

Nah. Assange used conspiracy-mongering to escape a sexual assault charge.

I guess we'll never know for sure, but I wouldn't put a move like that above the US government.

(Also, it's not a conspiracy, he actually is a political prisoner).

A rapist political prisoner.

[Grouchy]

Glad Matchcut already solved that case to everyone's liking!

I am constantly told that I should wait until a trial concludes to call someone a rapist so I was gonna do that, but... Ya know.

One of the celebrities, I forget who, mentioned that the Russians are behind all the celebrity sexual harassment stuff so that everyone can focus on that instead of their political manipulation going on, hahaha.

[Grouchy]

Well, that's obviously ridiculous, but is it really a coincidence that all this has been brought to light at a time when the US President himself holds a grudge against liberal Hollywood? Same liberal Hollywood which had pointed out, among other things, his awful track record with these issues?

Welp... shit.

Women can't even sleep without being sexually harassed.

It's quite clear that he is not actually groping her in that picture. Say what you want about that being inappropriate or tasteless, but I think it's much more likely that he was creating a goofy picture than that he was actually groping her in her sleep.

Franklin called for full ethics investigation - on himself.

Schumar is calling for full investigation.

The "both sides the same" crowd can shove it up their ass.

Did you read the allegation? It's not about the picture.

[D_Davis]

Oh look. People continuing to handle this situation like responsible adults.

It sure as hell looks to me like he's touching her. Why make excuses for him?

Franken was 55 years old when the photo was taken; less than a year later, he announced his campaign for the U.S. Senate.

Is it too much to ask that people working our government don't behave like randy fratboys with the impulse control of Ted Kennedy and Bill Clinton? I dunno how anyone is supposed to take this dude seriously now.

[megladon8]

With Irish on this - even if he wasn’t touching her (which it looks like there’s SOME contact there) is that really the behaviour one should exhibit when establishing a career in politics?

And the kiss rehearsal just sounds all kinds of creepy and gross.

[Spinal]

It sure looks like she's holding up The Leaning Tower of Pisa!

[Spinal]

I'll wait for facts to come in. One allegation and a lot to be gained politically from toppling this particular target.

Fortunately, it's not something I have to make a decision about 5 minutes after I read an article.

[Dead & Messed Up]

I'll wait for facts to come in. One allegation and a lot to be gained politically from toppling this particular target.

And she's already said she accepts his apology, and he's already calling for an investigation into himself. This reeks of the skeevy "I'm confessing because now it's public" thing we're seeing a lot of recently, but he's in front of it and at least presenting like he's ready to take real responsibility.

Imagine Trump or Moore handling a harassment charge like this.

[number8]

Good thing he's a Democrat, I guess.

[Irish]

When the facts come in, there will probably be more allegations from more women. And maybe more photos, too.

Isn't this fun?

I don't know about you, but I'm having a blast.
