K.K. profiled in the NYT above was a friend of mine in the '90s. This was before Guiliani and all the rest.
I'm glad for his ex-wife, at least.

I knew KK in '90-'93, and subbed for the drummer in his band a bunch of times. He asked me to drop out of college to join his band, which...would not have been a good idea, for many reasons. I found him generally creepy and unpleasant to be around. He was a staunch liberal in those days, though.

Aw man, I love Illeana Douglas. I'd like to kick this rich, old white man's ass myself. With each passing day of this situation, i'm more and more convinced that rich, old white men (not money alone) are the true root of all evil. And yes a few have been African-American but the overwhelming majority are the aforementioned ROWMs. Crap acronym too. I sincerely hope Miss Douglas emerges from this strong and happy.

bdsm is really problematic for me these days. i understand very well why people want to submit. i have never understood, however, why people want to dominate. also, the older i get, the more i find that none of the "safe, sane, consensual" troika are either/or propositions. if bdsm is about pretending, ssc is part of that pretense.

Might be related to the BDSM/Consent article I linked to right before Moonves, related specifically to Eric Schneiderman.
The Moonves/Douglas story, along with everything since Weinstein, makes it seem like women who act don't just "fall off the radar" because of aging but because of stories like these. Since she's mentioned in the article, makes me wonder why Penelope Ann Miller (big on Broadway, then in Carlito's Way et al) faded away.
― ... (Eazy), Monday, 30 July 2018 18:08 (five years ago) link
Ok, makes more sense after reading that. It's definitely a tricky thing to sort out, and perhaps there are cases that represent a legitimate grey area, but I'd say the most straightforward solution is to give much more credence to women who come forward with stories of abuse. We, as a society, are much too eager to buy into this myth of the vengeful woman who wants to sully a good man's name.
― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Monday, 30 July 2018 18:21 (five years ago) link
Ah, the Schneiderman thing seems like ages ago now.

yeah, and then people use the fact that they fell off the radar as "proof" that they must obviously be lying

“How could he have done all this good when there were such dark things happening behind the scenes?” another accuser, Nancy Beach, who also worked at Willow Creek, asked the Times.

http://www.kuow.org/post/six-more-women-accuse-david-meinert-sexual-misconduct-and-assaultA wrinkle in this case:
Meinert did not respond to more than 50 questions about the allegations made by the newest accusers, despite multiple attempts to reach him. Strategies 360, which represented Meinert during the reporting for KUOW’s first story about Meinert, dropped him as a client after learning one of their employees had come forward to accuse Meinert of sexual misconduct.
