Sexual Harassment

KEVIN SPACEY THOUGHT HE COULD DO NO WRONG

Hollywood has a solid history of tolerating workplace sexual harassment and enabling important predators, so any change for the better is delightful. As star and executive Producer, Kevin Spacey no doubt figured he could get away with that behavior on the House of Cards set because none of the young male crew members he preyed upon wanted to go on the record -for fear of being blackballed. Finally, ONE brave guy talked and the resulting investigation got Spacey fired and taken to court by the MRC entertainment company. Spacey was sued for revenue lost after he left the show and attorney fees, and he just LOST and the judge says he has to pay almost 31 million dollars to MRC! Hopefully this will motivate egotistical actors and executives to control themselves…

Ego Jerry Lewis Sexual Assault Sexual Harassment

JERRY LEWIS SAID HIS BIGGEST FLAW WAS TEMPTATION

And so it begins…we were not at ALL surprised to learn that women in their 70’s and 80’s are now coming forward to accuse the late Jerry Lewis of sexual and other atrocities. It’s about time. He’s actually being compared to Harvey Weinstein and Bill Cosby. As a kid, we LOVED Jerry Lewis’s movies, but as a gossip columnist we had heard plenty of not-so-nice stories about this talented but egotistical and entitled monster who was the King of Paramount Pictures in the 60’s and could do no wrong. (Did you know he left NONE of his 50 million dollar fortune to his longtime ex-wife Patti and 6 sons?) The producers of Allen v Farrow interviewed several actresses with awful stories about Lewis and they shared the info with Vanity Fair. Hopefully now that the doors have opened – MORE women will have the courage to tell their stories about the REAL Jerry Lewis.

Brad Garrett Ellen DeGeneres Sexual Harassment Sexual Misconduct TMZ Toxic Masculinity

WILL THE REAL ELLEN DEGENERES PLEASE STAND UP!

We were as surprised as you are to hear about the “toxicity” on the set of the Ellen Degeneres show. But we were even MORE surprised to note that TMZ has never written a negative word about the Ellen or her show, despite the fact that they MUST have seen this coming! BuzzFeed totally eclipsed TMZ with this scoop and we can tell you why. TMZ and Ellen are both Warner Bros shows, so apparently TMZ was “discouraged” from writing negative info about Ellen. It’s the same kind of intimidation that makes employees afraid to report their bosses, and women afraid to accuse powerful men of crimes. Insiders say powerful Ellen is NOT the nice person she appears to be on TV. We applaud Brad Garrett for being the ONLY celebrity courageous enough to speak the truth about Ellen – of course he’s now blackballed from her show!

Jon Peters Pamela Anderson Sexual Harassment Sexual Predator

SHAME ON YOU PAM, FOR MARRYING THIS HARVEY WEINSTEIN WANNABE!

Cannot IMAGINE what got into Pam Anderson that she even entertained the NOTION of marrying the disreputable Jon Peters, who is commonly known in Hollywood as another Harvey Weinstein. (She didn’t google him?) Peters started as a hairdresser and used women like Barbra Streisand to climb the ladder of success and become a Hollywood “producer.” He’s notorious as a sexual harasser and predator who’s been sued numerous times by employees – he once exposed himself to his personal assistant AND her two year old daughter! She won her case and collected 3 million. Peters is also renowned for the nasty rages, threats, and vulgarity that he got away with for years. Pam needs to have her head examined…

Dogs Entourage Jeremy Piven Mr Selfridge Sexual Harassment Sexual Misconduct

SOMEBODY STILL LOVES JEREMY PIVEN – HIS DOG!

Jeremy Piven knows that carrying a cute little dog can make anybody seem more appealing. The Mr Selfridge star (we loved that series!) has been having popularity problems. He was accused by a number of unrelated women of groping, inappropriate behavior, and sexual misconduct of all sorts. Jeremy became outraged and flatly declared that all charges were false and completely fabricated. He claimed all the women were opportunistic – seeking fame and money. Nobody was happy with THAT response, and coincidentally or not, his 2018 series Wisdom of the Crowd was canceled.

Bull Eliza Dushku Michael Weatherly Sexual Harassment

BULL STAR MICHAEL WEATHERLY MUST BE FIRED!

The investigation into the sexual harassment allegations against disgraced CBS CEO Les Moonves revealed, among other things, a 9.5 million dollar settlement that CBS paid to Bull star Eliza Dushku after she charged her costar Michael Weatherly with sexual harassment and was fired for doing so. Maintaining the sinister male culture at CBS, Moonves chose to protect his good friend Weatherly, with whom he had a lot in common. There were no doubts about guilt – Weatherly‘s behavior was all ON TAPE. The New York Times broke the story and Weatherly played down his behavior as “bad jokes.” Eliza bravely revealed the revolting TRUTH in lurid detail to the Boston Globe. There’s no doubt, Michael Weatherly should be fired and Bull’s showrunner Glenn Gordon Caron should pack his bags too, for nurturing Weatherly’s noxious behavior. Another thing- it is SO ridiculous when co-workers vouch for men accused of bad behavior because the accused didn’t harass or intimidate THEM. Most likely they are not his type, or maybe they just want to keep their jobs!

Roger Ailes Russell Crowe Sexual Harassment Showtime

RUSSELL CROWE HAS A GOOD EXCUSE FOR LOOKING SO BAD

No WONDER Russell Crowe has been looking so bloated and awful for the past year – he’s been fattening up to play a monster! Specifically, Roger Ailes in a series for Showtime. Ailes was the predatory boss at successful Fox News for 20 years who forced female employees to wear skirts and heels every day. Dozens of women accused him of sexual harassment and huge quantities of hush money changed hands to maintain the misogynistic culture at Fox. The brave women who finally took him on were considerably better looking than Ailes.

Rape Sexual Harassment Steven Seagal

STEVEN SEAGAL IS PROUD OF HIS SUCCESS WITH WOMEN

It appears that Steven Seagal’s love of guns is only exceeded by his contempt for women. In all our years of documenting Hollywood behavior, we never heard ONE positive comment about the ponytailed actor. Seagal, 65, was actually sued by a number of women back in 2010 for rape, sexual harassment, and sex trafficking. Several of them said they were hired to be his assistant and he expected them to be his sex toys. He smugly denied everything. Female studio employees and his own employees apparently were bullied by his lawyer Marty Singer or paid off and dropped their suits. And they weren’t even actresses! Since Portia de Rossi and Jenny McCarthy came forward, more actresses have accused him of rape and assault. This is a man who will never say he’s sorry, much less admit he did anything wrong.

Barbra Streisand Sexual Harassment

BARBRA STREISAND: MAYBE THOSE HARVEY WEINSTEIN TYPES WERE AFRAID OF YOU

We found Barbra Streisand’s comments about #MeToo to be brutally honest. Barbra admitted she has never been sexually harassed during her career and chalked it up to the fact that she “wasn’t like those pretty girls with nice little noses.” We happen to think it had nothing to do with looks – actually Barbra was TOO POWERFUL to be taken advantage of. She was already a Broadway darling when she STARRED in her first movie (Funny Girl) and from then on she was such a big star that her leading men were secondary to her. It’s highly probable that Barbra did some heavy flirting with her hand-picked leading men – and it wouldn’t be easy for them to turn her down. Barbra had big crushes on her costars Robert Redford, Nick Nolte (before his Malibu-pajama phase) and Ryan O’Neal. (We saw her sitting on Ryan’s lap and coyly giggling at The Candy Store during filming.)

Guess Kate Upton Paul Marciano Sexual Harassment

WE WON’T HAVE TO “GUESS,” KATE UPTON SAYS MORE HARASSMENT DETAILS ARE ON THEIR WAY!

Kate Upton’s phone was exploding today after she accused Guess co-founder Paul Marciano of sexual misbehavior. Kate, 25, has just dropped a few hints about Marciano on Twitter and Instagram, but she promises details will follow! Marciano is already agitated and implying that Upton should be grateful for the money Guess paid her and the fact that Guess made her famous. Sure she was paid, but how about all the money Guess made because of HER? This could turn into a huge and riveting can of worms because some of the biggest models in the world worked for Guess, and may have plenty to say…
