Weinsteins step down as Miramax CEOs

This is neither here nor there, but she looked cool af in that photo.

Ugh

she’s right of course in that what he did there wasn’t “illegal”, it’s just the baseline for any number of abusive pieces of shit operating in a lot of industries and of course really prevalent in Hollywood. Maybe less so now, but maybe just barely. Scott Rudin won’t get run out of town for that behavior tho he probably should be.

Imagine having someone yell at you like that, talk to you that way when you brought your kid over for a playdate and probably didn't even actually want to go
I share her relief that he is going to jail for 23 years, where he will die.

'That '70s Show' actor Danny Masterson charged with three counts of rape in Los Angeles

Good.

That guy's been under a shadow for so long for these, amazed he finally got charged

The Scienos can only help you for so long, I guess.

Was gonna say, I thought he was charged with this a few years back.

One of the victims is Chrissie Bixler, who is married to Cedric from Mars Volta. A couple years ago they were publically accusing the Sci-Ties of killing their dog. And now, looking into it, apparently they had a dog poisoned this year too: https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/8548927/mars-voltas-cedric-bixler-zavala-scientologists-killed-dog

And the CYE music at the ends caps it perfectly (shoulda played a second or two longer).

Re: Ron Jeremy - how surprising that someone who describes the allegations as "buyers remorse" might turn out to actually be a rapist after all

Was there one of these threads specifically for the music industry or should I just leave this instagram full of Bassnectar allegations here?

https://www.instagram.com/evidenceagainstbassnectar/

i have zero idea who bassnectar is but my assumption about any allegation against an EDM DJ is that the allegation is true.

Apparently it's rife at Burger Records, a label that seemed pretty cool.

https://consequenceofsound.net/2020/07/burger-record-artists-sexual-misconduct

there's a new thread for music business example, btw: rolling #metoo thread for sexual harassment in the music industry so no one misses out when artists we don't give a fuck about like Tim Westwood and Bassnectar get caught

Alexander Payne. You sat me down & played a soft-core porn movie you directed for Showtime under a different name. I still remember your apartment in Silverlake. You are very well-endowed. You left me on a street corner afterwards. I was 15. pic.twitter.com/mVqiN4S9NW

Yikes!!

horrifying

This fuckin guy

The suit included complaints that date back four decades, and some of the plaintiffs involved are minors. The filing also alleged that Nygard kept a “database of potential victims” — over 7,500 women and underage girls — on his company’s server.

The FBI had also reportedly investigated trafficking claims against Nygard in 2015 and 2017, according to the BBC.

I completely missed that Jeffery Ross was accused by a woman; she's accused him periodically over the years dating back to 2006. He's pretty adamant she has mental health and drug issues.

That is a fairly dismissive framing of Megh Wright's reporting.

https://www.vulture.com/2020/08/jeff-ross-jessica-radtke-alleged-sexual-relationship-at-15.html

that story is paywalled so I only pulled the first thing i saw about it, from another story, which was a quick synopsis and his statement.
