No it's better we have separate threads so the actor's name or whoever it is, is in the title. That way people can see each new famous person acussed.

The guilty must repent.

To be fair bringing up something from 1986, literally 30 years ago, up now feels kind of pointless. While it's terrible if it did happen, something should have been said back in the 80's when Stallone was at the height of his popularity and some damage could have been done.

Now he's a 71 year old geyser. And the woman is now 46 years old.

Um Cubed? Hate to be that person but a geyser is what Old Faithful is. The word you are looking for is geezer.

Any who haven't had the whistle blown on them yet are probably right now feeling the same kind of pressure however. lol Just sitting there waiting to be the next one that erupts.




Being older means it didn't happen anymore? I dunno, I'm not sure it's a good message to continue in society that if you do something terrible but avoid being held accountable for long enough than it's all good, you can get away with anything.

So if you murdered someone today and it was only found out 40 years from now, it shouldn't count cuz you're already too old to do it again? I can see that working in court:

Attorney: Come on, your honour, my client was mean back then but now he's too old, so why does it matter anymore?

Assuming it even happened of course. I mean who's next? Cindy Crawford?

It's pretty obvious almost every big male actor in Hollywood inappropiately advanced on a woman at some point, especially the ones from the 80's and 90's before the internet existed and you could get away with this stuff.

Sexual Allegations Thread.

Title says all.

Please post all new news about all the sexual harassment allegations here instead of making new threads.

"Here’s How Gal Gadot Actually Responded When Her Friend Raped Me"

If this is true....

This story has been making the rounds on Medium and LiveJournal, but a couple of the sites I found it on are now listing it as unavailable.

Quote:
Recently Gal Gadot tweeted that bullying and sexual harassment is unacceptable. Her hypocrisy deeply wounds me, because the shame and blame she instilled in me after her friend raped me haunts me to this day.

Gal is a predator who enables predators.

This is my story.
Here’s How Gal Gadot Actually Responded When Her Friend Raped Me.

If a true story, that is extremely sad. I didn't know that Gal Gadot was from Israel, but I can only assume being from that part of the world and the cultures there that tend to be pretty screwed up against women and prone to victim blaming, and teaching girls to be that way against their own, is a massive factor in her own reaction and behavior. Esp if her loyalty was most of all with her friend "Ayala" who, understandably, she might not want to see hurt in the event. But misplaced anger and her aggressive reaction and treatment of this girl is all her own and I hope she ends up having to face this publicly now. Privately face to face even... she owes her that.

I hope "Ayala" eventually figured him out and got the hell away from that guy. (Lord knows how often he has done this!) And broke it off with Ms. Gadot.

I found one site that covered this story.

Oh my lord ...

My heart goes out to anyone who has ever experienced this type of pain. I hope for your well-being and recovery.

If it were about doing damage, they wouldn't bother. I imagine it's a lot like unloading a weight you've been carrying with you for a long time, now that people will finally listen, and moving on. It's also a matter of just making these things known.

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.
