Competing thoughts.

Why can't people leave people the fuck alone ?

But

This wouldn't happen if enough people didn't respond positively to the type of advances.

Because if they did, the species would cease to exist.

And yes, I know the difference between an assault and courtship. But there is a significant bit of gray area that is being morally criminalized long after the fact.

Everyone is different but man, is a lot of this stuff not my style.

No, I completely agree.

My point is this -- I have no idea what Freeman is accused of doing. All I did was read the headline. And that's exactly what shitloads of other people will do. They'll see the name, roll their eyes and think "not him too", and that'll be it. His name will be smeared in the eyes of millions who will have no idea if he did something truly deserving or not.

"I Cheated on My Boyfriend with My Rapist"

Yeesh.

God...

I read this and almost vomited...

This is written by someone who has no true friends, no one around them that could tell her what she did to herself and to her boyfriend was beyond the pale. By volunteering to sleep with the guy, she effectively absolved him of any guilt he may have had, reinforcing a view that many rapists have that rape is just unwanted sex -- but sex nonetheless. By making this about a power-play, all she did was, in her mind, move the psychological burden of the rape (temporarily) onto her boyfriend, who must now also suffer the consequences of the rapists actions.

She compounded the crime committed on that night as well as her own neglect in not reporting it, which is excusable and understandable, but neglect nonetheless.

It's gut-wrenching to read how she justifies her actions as perfectly reasonable, because her (paid) therapist doesn't have a problem with it (which makes sense, since this seems written by someone who would shop for a therapist rather than listen to harsh realities).

I read the Morgan Freeman piece on CNN and think it’s pretty petty...

Telling a woman that is 6 months pregnant that she looks “ripe”. Telling another male actor, he’d like an “hour alone in a room” with a female that was on set.

Like, it’s creepy old man behavior, I get it. But now comes weeks and months of speculation he’s a Weinstein or Cosby....which is ludicrous.

Ah, you must have missed the bit about him repeatedly trying to lift up a girl's dress as he asked whether or not she was wearing underwear.

Just creepy old man behavior, right?

Yeah, that part was fucked up lol.

I usually give people the benefit of the doubt, but when there are a bunch of accusers I mean...the odds of it being made up is low I think ... sigh

I'm guessing this story won't be disseminated nearly as widely as the original, although the headline writer deserves to be slapped....

Morgan Freeman Goes On Defensive Against CNN, Demands Retraction, Apology About Sexual Harassment, Misconduct

Hollywood lawyer Robert Schwartz has sent a ten page letter to CNN’s Jeff Zucker demanding a retraction and apology for the network’s story about Oscar winner Morgan Freeman regarding sexual misconduct and harassment.

The story was CNN’s Chloe Melas and comes on the heels of the #MeToo movement and accusations against powerful men in Hollywood.

Schwartz’s letter questions Melas’s reporting.

The lawyer’s letter says:…
“at just this early stage, our review confirms that:
• Of the three people CNN identified as being a “victim,” the first, CNN’s own Chloe Melas, had no reasonable basis to have interpreted what Mr. Freeman said or did at the Going In Style interview last year as having been directed at her or as any form of harassment. The videotape confirms that his statement had nothing to do with her and was not harassing. And an independent third party, the Warner Bros. Human Resources Department, investigated her claim and concluded that it was not supported by the facts.
• The second person CNN identified, Tyra Martin, has gone on record twice since CNN published the article to state that CNN misrepresented what she said to CNN and that Mr. Freeman did not harass her • The third person CNN identified, Lori McCreary, told CNN that Mr. Freeman never harassed her. And as to CNN’s gratuitous sideswipe at Ms. McCreary herself, yet another independent party investigated the claim when CNN raised it, and found it to be meritless.
• Ms. Melas baited and prodded supposed “witnesses” to say bad things about Mr. Freeman and tried to get them to confirm her bias against him. Thus, no reader of the article can have any confidence that any of the anonymous sources, which make up the balance of CNN’s article, can be relied upon at all.
Based on those facts, and the additional information presented below, it is clear that CNN has defamed Mr. Freeman. CNN has inflicted serious injury on his reputation and career. At a minimum, CNN immediately needs to issue a retraction and apologize to Mr. Freeman through the same channels, and with the same level of attention, that it used to unjustly attack him on May 24. CNN also needs to retract the portions of the story that concern Lori McCreary and apologize to her for defaming and injuring her.”
