I know a fired a VP for having consensual sex with another employee from another department.

If he is going to chat on his wife, he would cheat the company.

Damn, did we get through the day without any new accusations? Wow. Probably just as well, there was plenty of other news out there today.

51. Ron Jeremy

More than a dozen women accused the porn star of sexual misconduct, Rolling Stonereported. The allegations include multiple accusations of rape, as well as groping and sucking a woman's breast without her consent.

In a statement sent to Rolling Stone, Jeremy denied the allegations. "These allegations are pure lies or buyers remorse," he said. "I have never and would never rape anyone. All serious allegations have been investigated by police and dismissed by judges, as have most of the accusations of 'groping.' I have never been charged nor spent one day in court for any of this." Jeremy's agent did not immediately respond to TIME's request for comment.

This is crazy. Some are speculating that his disappearance could have something to do with further allegations, but who knows...

How is Singer still getting work? The man was part of a pedo ring.

Yeah, I don't understand it. He hasn't made a good movie in I don't know how long either.

Did this film just get completely buried? I never heard of it until today. Came out in 2014.

Quote:

AN OPEN SECRET looks at the lives of children betrayed and abandoned by a system that essentially funnels them towards sexual predators without any oversight or regard for their safety. It documents not only these young peoples' experiences, but also how some have emerged stronger for their speaking out. It begs the questions of why children working in entertainment aren't afforded the same protections they are afforded at school, and argues for more effective treatment and stronger penalties for child sex offenders.

Of course, the tagline is "The film Hollywood doesn't want you to see."

Dammit. I was looking forward to the Queen movie.

They've shot too much of it already to not finish it. If not Singer, another director will come in and complete the film. I'm intrigued, and I like Rami Malek, but he almost feels like a mini Freddie Mercury. Like a pint-size version playing dress up. Sacha Baron Cohen was attached to a version of this project forever, and I think he would have been so much better. Willing to give Malek a shot, though.

Good riddance. Took em long enough.

As if being a pedo isn't enough, he's an unprofessional ******bag as well.

Here's hoping his career in Hollywood is over.

According to another insider, Singer has claimed he is suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder because of the tensions on the set.
This excuse for everything has already become tiresome. What is the pedo story on him?

People talk about "their ptsd" like it's a bag of skittles these days.

He regularly attended parties at some house where underage boys had to skinny dip after midnight with all the men, as a rule.

Boys would get drugged and raped.

I hope this is out of context or just not true... someone saying PTSD that casually is embarrassing and absolutely shameful.

I think it sucks that he still had a career after the pedo ring stuff came out and it's only after he started making bad movies and being unreliable at work that he gets fired.

"When Oliver quoted from an account Hoffman's accuser wrote, the actor asked Oliver, incredulous, 'Do you believe this stuff you're reading?' Oliver said he did 'because she would have no reason to lie.'"

Bull-effing-shiite that she has no reason to lie. She may be biased against men or Hoffman to begin with, she may be looking for attention, she way want $, etc... And she's bringing up something that happened decades ago. There are all kinds of reasons why her side of the story is making a mountain out of a molehill.

I enjoy John Oliver's show, but he needs to tap the damn brakes.

The story says that when she accused him earlier this fall, hoffman apologized. That would seem to lend more credibility to Oliver's take than your suggestion she has lots and lots of reasons to make this up.

John Oliver is entering the stage where he thinks his farts are made of rainbows. He's received non-stop praise for his show for years and now it has clearly gotten to the point where he thinks he can do and say no wrong. He acts like he is the moral compass of the universe

I didn't say that she made it up completely, but I'd certainly be willing to believe that she is stretching the truth. Hoffman probably even acted disrespectfully to her (which explains why he apologized), but she's just as likely to have inaccurately reported what actually happened.

Not the same thing. Not at all. But Oliver and lots of other people are way too happy to believe the women's versions of some of these stories, and the last time I checked, women are just as likely to lie as men.

Sure, both men and women lie but neither is likely to make up lies for no reason 30 years later. The accuser isnt getting anything from this 30 yr old event so your speculation that she just hates all men or is getting money seems less likely to be true than the other option, which is that she is telling the truth.

I disagree. There are all kinds of reasons/causes why people lie or misrepresent the facts, intentionally or not. It may be something as simple as a misunderstanding, or she may be BSC and just wants to stir up trouble.
