Me Too claims another one Assuming it's true (which it is looking by number of claimants and because it all happened in public) it is a very sad thing. One would expect higher standards from people who are in position of power and are considered heroes by many.

Link to the article, no? edition.cnn.com/2018/05/24/entertainment/morgan-freeman-accusations/index.htmlBeyond, this particular case, I want to highlight one comment from CNN that is incredibly ignorant yet has been adapted as "the reason for all this" by the mainstream : "another example of the systematic problems that exist in the entertainment industry" - "Before #MeToo, many men in the industry could behave without fear of consequences, because many times when a powerful man did so, it was the victim who suffered repercussions." While in a sense that is not false, the much bigger problem that everyone is failing to acknowledge is the whole "sexual revolution" thing still rolling on, that treats human beings like animals who just can't keep their hands off each other. Sex is idolized as the ultimate "win," the ultimate "prize" to gain. The supporters of this ideology might claim they needed to push back against repressive conservatives, but they have gone well beyond that and turned it into a game that must be played and must be won. Now they all scream how "it's only OK if there's consent," but generations have been raised with polluted thoughts in their brains. This ideology has turned women into pieces of meat in the minds of so many, and now you are trying to tell the lions out on the field to ask consent before touching. Guess how well that's working out? Not well at all. All these men carry full responsibility, but at the same time it is absolutely stupid to ignore the environment that the "sexual revolution" has generated. When you burn decency at the stake, you attract vultures. Many, many vultures.

From the article: Maybe this is a stupid question, but did any of them try telling him to stop? The only mention of anyone telling him to knock it off was Alan Arkin, and apparently he did. I'm not victim blaming, this behavior is totally inappropriate. But the guy was openly harassing you in front of others, it seems a lot easier to do something about it as opposed to being coerced into sex privately by Harvey Weinstein. Either way it's just sad. I was hoping we had heard all the stories by now, but it looks like there are more dominoes to fall after all.

Yeah, they showed a clip from that interview with Michael Caine and Alan Arkin. It's not looking good.

They could have, but then they're career would be over because the media would not take their side. If the media didnt take the side of Lysette Anthony, Ashley Judd or Mira Sorvino in the Weinstein situation, why would they take the side of complete nobodies? Weinstein hired assistants to line up his victims too-so it was in the open. Could one of his victims had said to the assistants--hey-why are you helping him? Just another reason why film media ownership should be diversified so no single group can control it and use mafia-like behavior to cover up their misconduct.

No shit, Lysette Anthony too? I don't know the details but Anthony claimed he raped her in the late 80s in England and she filed a police report. Seems pretty serious if she did and nothing came of it. Where was the media then? He has something like 80 named accusers. Should be in the Guinness book of World Records!

I'm guessing no more voice overs on commercials for various products. That guy with the sound alike voice is probably out of a job too.

This one is really disappointing, never expected him to do things like this. I don't think you should trust allegations before proof or sentencing, but such a large amount of people speaking up makes it difficult to believe that nothing happened.

While I'm in no way justifying these men's deeds (if it indeed is true), I'm PO'd that their lives are over while that Orange Baboon in the Oval Office is clearly guilty of the same thing and nothing is happening! If Bill Clinton could be impeached for improper behavior (and I'm not buying that "lying to Congress" sh*t), then Trump should be impeached, too!

More and more, I find myself thinking about all the other similarly "guilty" celebs that haven't yet been 'outed, who just HAVE to be sweating bullets with each and every one of these other 'stars' that keep going down................waiting, and wondering, just when the axe may fall on them...
