I think this is one of those things where both of them could in fact be telling the truth. It's very possible that Hardwick does not see his behavior as abusive and controlling. We know he has a history of substance abuse, which says to me he's got control issues right off the bat.
And it is entirely possible for someone to be this self unawares. I find the guy genial and for the most part inoffensive as a geek. He's one of those people whose professional life I envy, but not to the point where I would be willing to do all of the glad handing and self selling that it would take to achieve what he has. I'm just not that kind of fan.

In all honesty, unfortunate occurrences such as these force me to realize that I can't really trust anyone involved within the entertainment industry.
I guess - I just have to hope it isn't them. That's ... all I can really do at this point. |

The only part of her missive that seems fairly easy to investigate and actionable and couldn't be coming from a place of jilted revenge is Hardwick allegedly using his status to literally call places up, telling them not to hire her and then having them not hire her as a direct result (as opposed to, I dunno, places simply not wanting to hire her because she's not as qualified as other candidates). If that's true, fine, that's an abuse of power and no bueno. But I suspect she won't name what studio/company because it's potentially a FAKE thing.

doesn't mean i have to like it though! that's what gets us phony sites where people are more interested in making money and earning fame points than actually doing what you love and creating to create stuff simply for the joy of it! It'll be interesting to see what Rob Paulsen does at this point. does he keep talking toons at nerdist, or does he split? I never did like the association. It was such a great start up story and he did such a good job promoting and producing the show without anyone's help. not sure why he decided to make it more corporate simply for video opportunities. James Arnold Taylor does his obi wan kenobi podcast in video form without nerdist..and it's free too...

Turning her story into a scenario where he's the victim because he claims she was unfaithful is absurd. Oh, you're a future father - well that clears it up. What a terrible statement to make.
Has anything come out revealing who the person was that helped blackball her? |

I really hope all the b ig teir nerdist people arn't going to turn out to be jerks.
I don't want to dislike the new MST3K. although I DO find it REALLY odd and wonder WHY Joel went with pretty much an entire nerdist oriented cast when he's always went with unknowns before. rather unusual.

There's some good eggs around here. I even really like Plastron, but she seems to have decided I'm bad news.

If she has all this damning evidence, she should just release it. Personally, if I was accused of those things, and didn't do them, I would sue the **** out of her.
The entire metoo movement reminds me of poor Brian Banks. The guy went to prison for 5 years because a woman said he raped her. The only reason he was released was because the 'victim' admitted to making up the alleged sexual assault so her mother wouldn't find out she was having sex. Women are people, and people lie. They even lie about rape. They do it because they're vindictive and they know that we currently live in a climate that even the hint of sexual impropriety is a life ender. |

The thing is sexual harassment is a HUGE problem that people ignore, it happens everywhere and all the freaking time. All those pricks that you hated in high school do the same sh-t in their everyday lives making the lives of women usually horrible int he workplace. The worst part about this problem and the reason it doesn't get enough attention is because there's no real evidence that can be gotten and also because victims don't come forward and when they do nothing happens. It's really hard to see the problem if you're not a woman sadly. Now I think the #metoo is horribly flawed, the "always believe them" is not a rule I can get behind on, it's prone to abuse and any abuse of it will only deter people from thinking it's a problem. The other problem is what is being defined as sexual harassment, that link Papenbrook posted seems a parody but things are getting there, no a hug or all looks are not sexual harassment, it's hard to define and by being so god damn stupid with how strict people are going for it's becoming the laughing stock and people will not take the issue seriously anymore. Also the punishment people are receiving is outragous, cancel the show and get them fired for a big offense? No problem. Public shaming and having companies avoid a certain person for PR reasons for what can be entailed as flirting? errr...not so much. That's only hurting the cause. Don't let the current political climate make you believe it's not a problem, it is horrible and something must be done about it. Can't say I have any solutions but the dialog has to be there, it can't be ignored because of a few people abusing it and it for that same reason it can't have the consequences it currently is giving people accused.

Look at how careful she has gone about this. She avoids actually saying his name anywhere, the names of any companies or... really anything specific at all. All probably to avoid libel and defamation charges.

I just don't understand why anyone would 'want to hold back evidence' to protect a rapist. She's doing this the way she is because she knows if her feet are truly held to the fire she'd probably be shown to be a liar. Last edited by BartAllen; 06-18-2018 at 03:30 PM. |

the problem is, I doubt the false accusations would get as much press coverage. it doesn't invoke the same sense of outrage, therefore, less ratings.
there was even an ABC 7 news reporter that falsely accused someone of bad deeds. she got fired. this was long before the me too movement. sad part is, when someone does this type of stuff and ruins someones career for revenge, it deludes the very thing the me too movement was started to rightfully cover and draw attention too. and that hurts everyone.

And to clarify: When it's proven that a man assaults a woman he should be permanently removed from society. Rape, in my view, is worse than murder. I just do not like the mentality behind the movement. It's far too dependent on the 'listen and believe' narrative that is so pervasive right now. People are vindictive and lie. Especially if they know that no one will question them lest they get labelled some kind of ist. |
