    Jill Messick, Rose McGowan’s manager at time of alleged Harvey Weinstein rape, commits suicide

    http://www.nydailynews.com/enter…

    • "McGowan told The NYT that her meeting with Weinstein was arranged by Messick—and that she was comforted by the manager after divulging details of the attack."PonyBoy
    • ... fuck... how are you supposed to look back on that being McGowan given Messick was an Exec for Weinstench at the time? what a fucking mess :/PonyBoy
    • Wow. Heavy.shellie
    • Disgusting. A pig.noRGB

    Matt Damon is 100% correct. Some of this is getting ridiculous. There is poor behaviour and people being a jackass. And there is serious sexual assault.

    There's a big fucken difference. It's not condoning either...both are crap and need to be dealt with. But some of the carry-on now is getting beyond stupid...like equating shoplifting an Apple and serious armed robbery.

    • in your analogy, both offenses carry jail time. shoplifting an apple is still grand theft. Should the shoplifter just go free?shellie
    • If the shoplifting is chronic should u be treated like it was ur 1st time? wouldn't the shoplifter end up getting as much time as the armed robber in the end?shellie
    • also this is coming from a guy who said on TV (project greenlight) that diversity is not for behind the scenes. He's kinda a dick imo. Just another perspective.shellie
    • he's in business w/a lot of these people getting caught up or that might have secret dirt on them. He has 101 reasons why he'd to try & protect them or himself.shellie
    • 1. shoplifting an apple may be grand theft in 'murica...not in most civilised countries though.BusterBoy
    • 2. If it's chronic, it should be treated differently than the first offence.BusterBoy
    • 3. Any amount of shoplifting should NEVER be treated the same as armed robbery.BusterBoy
    • 4. Yes he's in an industry where many may have secret dirt. Doesn't mean he can't have an opinion.BusterBoy
    • It's hard for me to believe they get caught on their 1st time "shoplifting" to keep the analogy going but i doubt we'd ever agree about this so I'll get my coatshellie
    • no don't go! Happy to have a civil discussion :)BusterBoy
    • The Lord Mayor of my city has stood aside based on a single allegation. Fair enough...let justice take its course. BUT he's being crucified online by idiots..BusterBoy
    • ...claiming "where's there's smoke" as though he's automatically guilty. I find the trial by media disturbing and completely unfair in this environment.BusterBoy
    • Great the movement is happening...BUT we still need to follow some procedure here.BusterBoy
    • I think it will calm down for sure. But dont u think some of this severe fallout is doing a mass reset w/that behavior moving forward? everyone's been warnedshellie
    • and my reaction to matts comments i admit are colored by other comments he's made that were the same flavor of tone-deaf AND I've been harassed byshellie
    • a man in a professional setting, only to find out 13 years later I wasn't the only one. He didn't rape me, but i battle with not blowing up his spot.shellie
    • no doubt hes left a trail of messes over the yrs besides the 2 others i know about now. he didn't rape me but he also shouldnt be the boss of anybody for real.shellie
    • i am biased because this hits close to home. Also see my post 13 down about the man who forced a kiss on me in the subway. also not rape but i felt violated af.shellie
    • so maybe since you can't relate so much as a man, try putting yourself in the victim's shoes. imagine your daughter, mother, sister. would you feel different?shellie
    • Sure...and fir enough. I see where you're coming from. It sure is a massive reset, and any bloke that carries on with that behaviour now would have to be stupidBusterBoy
    • Men used to think they could get away with that shit...so I hope this movement changes that ridiculous assumption.BusterBoy
    • hey i think we found some common ground. when does that ever happen?shellie
    • ohhhhhhhh &i also read something wrong to clarify by apple i thought mac. im glad we didnt get off track w/that smallish misunderstanding. convo still holds up.shellie
    • cos i would place assult in line with a little more extreme than stealing an apple or a candy bar. i think that minimizes the seriousness a bit.shellie
    • and i also think verbal harassment, flashing your privates, unwanted touching are all way more serious than stealing an apple or a candy bar.shellie
    • +1, 2, 3, 4...shellie...oey
    • fuck Matt Damonoey
    • I don't disagree with shellie's sentiments. And Damon may well be a hypocritical enabler. But I don't see how anyone can disagree with his latest statements.BusterBoy
    • When we start looking to celebrities like him to be a thought leader, who has not once ever presented themselves as such, we have a problem.notype
    • He just became part of the problem.notype
    • ^oey
    • maybe you don't see cause you're in the privileged side of the story? I'm not accusing you of anything personally by the way.oey
    • I don't think what Damon has said is wrong. We need to be sensible about all this to try and understand why and how it's happening in the first place.Ianbolton
    • The conversation, the outcome and the future is certainly going to be a better if we can get through this, for men and women.Ianbolton
    • So let's not start getting trigger happy and fucking up every single person's life, but sure, let's make a statement so people do get the message.Ianbolton
    • welp at least there was some calm contructive discussion on this one. im proud of us. lets all have a digital beer together. Happy Monday.shellie
    • Digital thumbs up...
      Not sure that came out right!

    Of course no one should judge Marilyn Manson without all the details.

    But the record label will know more details than we do.

    Hard to believe this shit is coming out of thin air, that these women are all making this up. FIVE women

    I loved Kevin Spacey....but when he went down it was clear there was a LOT of evidence that he needed to go down. Same with Louis CK.

    If it really is bullshit it can be pushed back on, like with Biden and we learn that it is.

    • 'Not saying he is an angel' is not a defensedkoblesky
    • Cancel culture is weeding out those who thought they got away with it, which is good. Hopefully this results in more immediate allegations moving forward...ideaist
    • The Times They Are a-Changin', eh?ideaist
    • women have a voice now. do not underestimate how important that is.

      and to add clarification: victims have a voice now
      dkoblesky
    • Think the Louis CK case was a bit lower on the spectrum, but doesn't change what he did. Just saying there's a spectrum.Ianbolton
    • so let me get this straight: all those women expected that deep inside he is just a lovely romantic guy that happens to like a bit of makeup? C-c-c-come on!rzu-rzu
    • his music is pretty rubbish tbhGardener
    • If only there were signs that he was a bit off. Girls would have been able to steer clearGnash
    • Its naive to think its impossible that five people cant coordinate a character hit. That said, if its true, he should get his just deserts.cannonball1978
    • good point @ dkobleskyGuyFawkes
    • so if a musician's music is intense then you should expect that they will abuse you?

      that is a bullshit argument

    • This is ridiculous. Relationships are traumatic for all concerned. Nobody gets out alive. And she looks like a fucking coke-head anyway.Khurram

    • That's fucking horrible, Khurram. Genuinely. Meathead stuff.Fax_Benson
    • I'm sorry you feel that way Fax. I've had personal experience with girlfriends in the past with substance abuse issues, including having kitchen knives pulledKhurram
    • on me and cellphones thrown at my head. I'm not going to condemn a man based on one-sided muckraking journalism with absolutely ZERO substance.Khurram
    • Tempted to ask what did you expect, and suggest you may have looked like a fucking cokehead anyway, but that would be stupid.Fax_Benson
    • Exactly mate. Exactly.Khurram
    • I'm sorry you were in a shit situation. And I believe the story, despite the lack of evidence.Fax_Benson
    • As a lifelong fan, I don’t doubt any of it.scarabin
    • It's not the lack of evidence I'm concerned about. It's the lack of substance.Khurram
    • I read in Raygun magazine that he liked having sex in those freezers in supermarkets. So yeah, that explains it all.Ianbolton

    SAN FRANCISCO — California Assemblywoman Cristina Garcia — whose high-profile advocacy of the #MeToo movement earned her national media notice — is herself the subject of a state legislative investigation in the wake of a report that she sexually harassed and groped a former legislative staffer.

    In December, when Time magazine announced that “Silence Breakers” who spoke out against sexual harassment were its Persons of the Year, Garcia’s face was prominently included in the art accompanying the cover story.

    But Daniel Fierro of Cerritos told POLITICO that in 2014, as a 25-year-old staffer to Assemblyman Ian Calderon, he was groped by Garcia, a powerful Democratic lawmaker who chairs the Legislative Women’s Caucus and the Natural Resources Committee.

    He said she cornered him alone after the annual Assembly softball game in Sacramento as he attempted to clean up the dugout. Fierro, who said Garcia appeared inebriated, said she began stroking his back, then squeezed his buttocks and attempted to touch his crotch before he extricated himself and quickly left.

    • It doesn’t prove that she wanted it, why would she he’s a discussing troll but she was open to the idea or possibility at least_niko
    • But if she was being pressured by her team to close the deal then they’re as big of scumbags as Weinstein_niko
    • I hate that fat fuck. But something's fishy here. She agreed to have drinks with him. Went to hotel room (could've just walked away)...NBQ00
    • ...now many many years later claims he raped her. If he really raped you, you scream and run away, call the police immediately.NBQ00
    • Guys, you're no woman and you've never been raped. I think it's so easy to say "she should this and she should that".Bennn
    • Weisntein is a disgusting pig, and all your comments are about criticizing the girl. Where are the girls in here? Am i right?Bennn
    • I agree, Benn. Easy to say you'd punch him / call the cops as a 40-ish man who wasn't there.Fax_Benson
    • I'm not saying punch him, call the cops. I'm saying did she want to sleep with him ? Probably not. Did she know what she was getting herself into ? Probably.spl33nidoru

    //Thank God for the new 5 Second rule by Netflix!!

    ffs... we've become an overly dramatic group of assholes:

    Netflix film crews 'banned from looking at each other for longer than five seconds' in #metoo crackdown

    https://www.independent.co.uk/ar…

    "New rules imposed on set reportedly include no looking at anyone for longer than five seconds, no lingering hugs, no flirting and no asking for a colleague's phone number."
