Stallone in the 80s could snap his fingers and get every woman he damn well pleased , the women came to HIM !

Next theyre gonna claim Cindy Crawford groped someone in the 90s

If Stallone did it, it's not because of not getting any, that's not the primary motivation for rape. Rape is about control and being in power over someone. If he did it, he did it because he could not because of lack of groupies.

I don't see the humor of being sexually assaulted by a person, please elaborate. Is it because in your suggested scenario since Crawford is hot it's not assault, or should one just be glad someone attractive gropes you without consent and it doesn't count as assault cause only uggos can rape?

I don't know that anyone's disputing that.
The woman in question was a minor at the time though, which makes this rape regardless of her consent.

That's creeper behavior.

And yeah, Uncle George...what the hell.

The story about gal godat really saddened me. I liked her so much and I don't want to believe she victim blamed this girl who came to trust her. Like maybe she genuinely thought this girl had consensual sex with her friend's boyfriend and was mad on her friends behalf for being stabbed in the back. But really since some women can be even bigger victim blammers it's not impossible something like this happened. Someone mentioned Gal's cultural background as a possible excuse for her attitude since she is from Israel, but if that is the case does it really absolve her in this case?

At this point, they should just start announcing when a celebrity isn't suspected of sexual misconduct. I think it would be a shorter list and, at this point, make for more shocking news.

Superfly Jimmy Snuka is a case of that; guy got away with murder until it was way too late - by the time someone finally got to open charges, he had both dementia and cancer, so he didn't even realize what was happening, and died not long after - but at least it was known, at least the murder didn't just disappear like it never happened, and Snuka's not talked about anymore in any positive light even in wrestling.
You do know that the charges were dropped, right? You do know that WWE put out a statement on being saddened by the loss of a great performer and pioneer of the sport? You do know that there were articles from usa today, fox news, tmz, and others pretty much stating the same? Not only that but unlike Chris Benoit or Hulk Hogan, Jimmy snuka was never blacklisted. He's still listed as a Hall of Famer on the WWE website unlike Hulk Hogan's bs reason for being out of the HOF.

Powder isn't joking.

There's a passage in her autobiography that...is problematic, to put it mildly.

Yeah, she absolutely would do that, since she pretty much is one herself. Against her own sister, no less.

Except she was 7 years old.

But apparently, if you did some ****ed up **** when you are 7 year old you should labeled as monster for the rest of your life.
Cool.

Guess, everyone should enlightened liberally minded individuals without doing stupid **** since their birth.
What kind of perfect world you people live in? Or rather what kind of world you don't live in?

Age of consent varies from country to country : Norway 16 , Spain 13 etc.........

I've been having the same thoughts as you, except I was hoping for some reason that Wayne Brady wouldn't be among these guys being outed for sexual harassment.
