Post Re: Edit: Hollywood Sexual Harassment Allegations
In the least surprising news, Alec Baldwin likely has allegations against him, but in a twist, he came out first and said he knows he has bullied and mistreated women and wants to own up to it and change what he feels is a behavior he grew up with.

Kudos for coming out with it before allegations are thrown at him, although he still blames the time he grew up in and the culture. Sorry, but things have changed, especially in the last few years. There's no reason to not adapt and grow. You were on a hit sitcom for seven years led by a female performer/writer. You shouldn't still have this feeling that women are inferior to you.

I get it, I know older people tend to be more racist, sexist, homophobic, etc. But it's on the person individually to realize they live in a world where that shit doesn't fly any more.

oh fantastic. Alec will try to get in front of this. I'd love for him to be brought down...hypocrite.

Lots of these older men (born before the 80's) in pre-internet Hollywood are misogynistic and/or homophobic. With the absence of the internet, these powerful people in the industry controlled the flow of information and built themselves and their products a good image. People unquestioningly idolized them (I think Donald Trump is a product of this Hollywood image-building.) Now we have finally come to an awakening of this old Hollywood mirage.

Sounding very likely that the NYPD will be arresting Harvey Weinstein for raping Paz de la Huerta.

Alec Baldwin is/was good looking and charming, so he can say he has treated women in a sexist way and probably nobody will come forward to kill his career. In all of this, we still need to remember that women love attention, especially from movie star studs. I guess it is good that he is owning up, but it's also pretty unnecessary. Sexism isn't illegal. Assault is. And culture is very important to how someone acts. Just like how women are all now entitled feminazis.

I am patiently waiting for John Lithgow to be outed as a sexual predator. Never had a good feeling about him.

Oh, so it was for my benefit? Then I can tell you that you failed, mainly because you didn't comprehend my post well.

Maybe that would get you to stop the over-generalization and (mis)characterization of all women.

:funny:

Since when has anyone convinced anyone of anything over the Internet? You really put too much value on your one comment.

And you still didn't get my comment, which is mind-boggling as it wasn't even very clever.

He’s been accused of sexual harassment or groping by 6 or 7 (that we know of) HOC crew members. Netflix/MRC performed internal investigations and determined that terminating him was appropriate. How is that “mob rule”?

Amazing that Kevin Spacey's career got wiped in less than a week. Apparently he has 80 million in net worth that will allow him to fade into the shadows. Sad end to a good actor.

Also, shame on him as he just caused Robin Wright and the cast/ crew of HOC to lose their jobs. Apparently a biopic or some other item in development of course was cancelled and now that movie which is still scheduled for release is DOA.

I think the HOC cast and crew will be ok. THR said that they're just figuring out the logistics (some legal, as Spacey is a Producer on the show) to be able to move forward with additional episodes.

I wonder if it would be easiest to reframe Season 6 as a whole new spin-off series.

I thought House of Cards was cancelled anyway. That was reported a few days ago! Did they do a 180?

They said the upcoming season was going to be the last, but not sure how much production has been done

Again, they investigated allegations from their 6-7 employees and determined that another employee, Spacey, had committed offenses worthy of termination.

I’m not sure in what universe internal Human Resources procedures need to mirror the criminal justice system.

And Spacey has said and done nothing to suggest any of these claim are bogus. Quite the opposite.

Have they set a court date for Travolta? Maybe Cruise will be on the defendant stand with him? Or will he turn into a state witness? :P
