sorta agree. if you knew every single thing about every person then youd have no heroes. even a mediocre minimum wage job will have similar gossip so obviously hollywood will too. im not excusing it but im surprised that this is shocking as many people as it is.
also wtf is a 14 year old hanging out with a 26 year old i swear some kids are just dumb af. at 14 i was already a professional masturbator and aware that adults dont just hang out and play hide and seek.

while I don't condone any unwanted sexual advances, especially since the ages of this occurrence was 26/14, these many people coming forward are coming forward after they've achieved their successful career......conveniently.
I have no sympathy for people, who are involved in any crime against them, to not speak out immediately.
it sounds harsh of me, but the number one thing that is important to someone's life, is their own life.

Obviously every situation is different but I pretty much agree. Most of the women weren't sexually harassed, they had advances made on them, some of them left and some of them stayed for whatever reason.
This entire thing feels a lot like a prostitute calling the cops and saying you raped her after you paid her for sex.
I'm happy to see so many sensible remarks on this subject. I was not expecting this type of levelheadedness from this subforum, bravo gents.
In regards to the bold, I had already lost my virginity by 14, and EVERYONE, especially someone going to VIP clubs, and house parties in New York, is aware of when someone is being overly flirtatious with them. Seems to me like someone is desperate for attention in the wake of other scandals getting so much attention, and sure, maybe it was a shitty night, but most people (myself included), have had unwanted sexual advances happen to them. It's not that big of a deal, and this is NOTHING compared to the shit I've had both guys/girls try to do to me when I've been inebriated at house parties, and none of that shit was "traumatic" for me, even the overly aggressive gay guys who wouldn't stop fucking touching me. Ya, it was annoying and made me uncomfortable as shit, especially because I've never had a gay thought in my life (not that there's anything wrong with being gay, it really doesn't bother me ofc), but to say you were traumatized by a guy coming onto you, and then letting you leave the second you said you wanted to go (and being nice about it according to his own fucking account of events, which is probably am exaggeration), is a fucking nothing story.
Ya, the age thing is fucked, but my first was almost as bad. I was 12 and she was 19. It's not like it's a good thing, but I sure as shit knew what I was getting myself into when she invited me to her hotel room. He was a horny/drunk 2x year old, he came on to someone who had been hanging out in his fucking room all night when he was super drunk, and when the person made it clear they weren't interested (cough, changed their mind and decided they didn't want to fuck a drunk guy most likely cough), that was the end of it. Once again, not condoning the actions, but this really isn't that big of a deal imo.

So if I claim that Jim Parsons assaulted me 20 years ago when he was too drunk to know what was happening (or remember it later) ... then can I get Big Bang Theory off the air?
If so, I got a story for you.
You too huh?
