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.https://www.thecut.com/2020/08/peter-nygard-sons-accuse-father-sex-trafficking.html

D’Elia hit with a lawsuit for violating federal child pornography and child sexual exploitation laws soliciting more than 100 sexually explicit photos and videos from, and having sex with, a Jane Doe who was 17 years old

He went silent for months then only a few days ago posted a video which was a semi-contrite "acknowledging and changing my behaviour" thing but also a flat denial of anything illegal or non consensual.
That now looks like a preemptive response to this suit.

It took watching a bunch of Chevalier musicals recently to a) realize Pepe Le Pew was meant as a parody of Chevalier and b) subsequently realize how tone deaf their parody of Chevalier was (as everyone was champing at the bit to knock boots with everyone else in those movies). The serial harassment angle was all W-B.

I thought Pepe was supposed to be based on Charles Boyer?
― soref, Monday, 8 March 2021 19:37 (three years ago) link
from the (surprisingly contentious!) wiki:
Jones wrote that Pepé was based (loosely) on the personality of his Termite Terrace colleague, writer Tedd Pierce, a self-styled "ladies' man" who reportedly always assumed that his infatuations were reciprocated. In a short documentary film, Chuck Jones: Memories of Childhood, Jones told an interviewer (perhaps jokingly) that Pepé was actually based on himself, except that he was very shy with girls.A prototype of Pepé appeared in 1947's Bugs Bunny Rides Again, but sounded similar to Porky Pig. When the character of Pepé was more fully developed for cartoons of his own, Mel Blanc based Pepé's voice on Charles Boyer's Pépé le Moko from Algiers (1938), a remake of the 1937 French film Pépé le Moko. Blanc's voice for the character closely resembled a voice he had used for "Professor Le Blanc", a harried violin instructor on The Jack Benny Program. There have also been theories that Pepé's voice was based on singer Maurice Chevalier.

Pepé's reputation suffered in later years. Comedian Dave Chappelle, in his 2000 stand-up film Killin' Them Softly, called him a rapist.
In October 2010, it was reported that Mike Myers would voice Pepé Le Pew in a feature-length live action film based on the character, although no information about this project has surfaced since. In July 2016, it was revealed at San Diego Comic-Con that Max Landis was penning a Pepé Le Pew feature film for Warner Bros. There has no new information since then due to sexual assault allegations against Landis in 2017.
