    I buy it. As I said it absolutely wouldn't surprise me...

    PS - it's Fred Armisen, for those that didn't know (or in case I'm thinking of the wrong Handmaid's Tale ex-husband!)...

    A story from the bartender at the Keswick Tavern:

    "Comedian" Ron White, married at the time, was performing at the Keswick Theatre, in Glenside, PA a few years ago. He came into the bar, the Keswick Tavern, which is across the street from the venue, smoking a cigar. The bartender asked him to smoke outside. He said to the bartender, "**** you, I'm famous."

    Later that evening he took two girls from the bar back to his trailer.

    What I'm curious about is if the Scientologists-- namely Travolta and Danny Masterson-- will be thrust into the spotlight or if the "church" will be able to protect them.

    That's an interesting story to report, and I wonder why it's being reported. Obviously it's rare that there will ever be any direct proof of sexual harassment, but at least in the other stories we're talking about a pattern of behavior, corroborated by more than one person. With Weinstein and Fox News you're talking about a well documented corporate conspiracy to help cover someone's (or more than one person's) behavior, - Lois C.K., multiple corroborating accounts. Roy Moore, multiple corroborated incidents. But the Matthew Weiner story: a single alleged incident involving only an inappropriate comment and an employee let go for unknown reasons.

    The list of celebrity repeat offenders alone is probably several years worth of journalism.

    If they can somehow resurrect / retcon his Star Trek character's death and make half those performances as Chang, I would be so very happy

    Darth Guy Trevoltings accusers shut up as quickly as they surfaced, I think because of money more than Scientology. This new host of accusations seems a different beast because it started with Weinstein getting accused by known people, less likely to take the hush money because they're already doing well. so it was much more difficult to put the genie back in the lamp. The lesson - if you're going to use your status to sexual harass people, stick to the unknown, working-class type.

    Is this the weirdest one yet?
    Alison (Smallville) Mack "second in command of sex cult under investigation for extorting, beating and branding its members"
    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...allville-actress-second-command-sex-cult.html

    It is the Daily Mail reporting it, though, so I'll be taking it with more than a pinch of salt.

    @jp-30 sorry, did not see your Pepe Le Pew pages ago. Very sloppy on my part.​

    Same with Tambor, but I'm more inclined to believe than not these days...

    The claim against Jeffrey Tambor is broader though if not any better substantiated: "he had repeatedly propositioned her, made lewd comments, groped her and threatened to sue her if she spoke up.”

    Here the accusation includes multiple incidents of harassment and physical contact.

    I'm just curious how awards season is going to go along with how awkward it's going to be at the Globes and Oscars.

    The thing with the Enquirer is they lost a lawsuit some time ago 90s/early 00s). Since then, when they print something about big names (like Edwards) they make sure they have the facts right. The stuff they print may be utterly tasteless, but usually true.

    Pedophilia and a medical professional volunteering to insinuate himself into a sport where young girls suffer a lot of injuries and medical problems, and then abusing patients in a treatment setting. These things are an order of magnitude worse than workplace sexual harassment.
