[Alleged] Dastardly Deeds Thread

In your scenario, you are assuming she is at least telling a partial truth. In which case all your arguments are sound. In my scenario, where I question her 'truth'...the current state of 'if you post it, they will believe you' on Twitter allows her to constantly give people a reason to continue to assume guilt. Trial by social media is becoming an alternative to actually having to prove anything. If you have ever been falsely accused...well, it would give you a different perspective.

Okay, so let me ask you this: What makes you question her trustworthiness?

Nothing from her essay is being outright refuted or disproved. Hardwick's seemingly not fighting it outwardly. His response didn't cover a lot of her claims. And she, for her part, is not actively going after him. She said she wanted to say it for her own reasons, she did, and now she's walking away.

Is she getting new jobs? Doing tons of interviews? Writing a book about it? The only things I'm hearing is that Hardwick is slowly coming back.



I get the false accusations thing. I do. I wouldn't want to walk around with it. But why would she say it? Especially knowing that to this point, this may be the most noteworthy thing she's known for among the broadest audience?

Again, I'm weird. I can see a scenario where they're both telling the truth. The way this is playing out reinforces my scenario. And, in the end, Hardwick looks like he's gonna be fine.

I have learned to keep my arguments to myself...no point in discussing. Nothing personal, I have just had too many 'hot' conversations about it. I think it's a little cavalier to say he is gonna be ok. Look, he has worked tirelessly to establish his 'brand' and while this lingers it still does damage. Like I said, if you had ever been falsely accused of something you would have an idea of the toll it exacts. I have no idea what the truth is. I just know that until someone takes someone to task for the wild west lack of responsibility on Twitter we are going to keep sliding down a slippery slope.
 
Ok folks, your Uncle JD is asking for a favor...

Call the number. Be polite. Ask for Alan Horn's office. Leave a message that you would like James Gunn rehired. Takes a minute, 2 tops. By the time you call they will likely have a system in place. PLEASE. Make the call. This can not stand!!!!! MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
 
Megan Fox Shares The Sobering Reason Why She Hasn’t Talked About Her Own #MeToo Stories
https://uproxx.com/news/megan-fox-me-too/

Even with the #MeToo movement, and everyone coming out with stories — and one could assume that I probably have quite a few stories, and I do — I didn’t speak out for many reasons. I just didn’t think based on how I’d been received by people, and by feminists, that I would be a sympathetic victim. And I thought if ever there were a time where the world would agree that it’s appropriate to victim-shame someone, it would be when I come forward with my story.

Billy Eichner Has Weighed In On Nick Cannon’s Tweets About Sarah Silverman And Others
https://uproxx.com/viral/billy-eichner-nick-cannon-sarah-silverman/

He dislikes both homophobic slurs and what he called “‘cancellation’ culture.”

[M]any of us, myself included, have made jokes/tweets in the past that we deeply regret. Kevin decided to quit on his own volition. He had his reasons and that’s obviously his prerogative. But I’m not into people being permanently ‘cancelled’ over something like this. To me, ‘cancellation’ is childish. I’m into conversation, not cancellation. I’m into owning up to past mistakes, acknowledging blindspots and hurtful remarks, talking through it, discussing it, learning, moving past it and making progress together. And with that I would like to announce my candidacy for President of the United States. Just kidding.

Man...along with Megan Fox(last post) surprisingly well thought out and reasonable. We could use more of that.
 
Sarah Silverman Has Responded To Nick Cannon Unearthing One Of Her Old Tweets Containing A Gay Slur
https://uproxx.com/viral/sarah-silverman-nick-cannon-tweet/

We are trying too hard to discern intent when using a word. Why is Sarah Silverman not 'gaslighting' when she presents a gay man's opinion instead of apologizing and owning it like most people caught in this entirely new cultural landscape are expected to do?

'Winnie the Pooh' Disney Voice Star Jim Cummings Accused of Rape, Animal Abuse

Please let this just be a bad divorce. I don't think it is...those are some fairly specific charges, but **** me Freddy...not Pooh, p-p-p-please let it not be so.

I have known him professionally for almost 30 years. No one has ever said a bad word about him...always quite the opposite. I have worked with him on quite a few occasions and have never thought anything but the best of him. I am, unfortunately, out of town right now so can't get all the scuttlebutt that I know was going around today at my office.
 
yikes, i hope it isn’t true but i feel like who knows.

the guy i dated from the age of 16-21 was the kind of guy anyone would say was the sweetest guy, a big teddy bear. but he had rage issues that only i ever saw. i once saw him yank the family dog’s tail and the tail was screwed up permanently afterward. he was fine to me for the majority of the time until i was 21. then one day, as we were going through the drive thru, he ordered food and didn’t ask me if i wanted anything. i got kind of annoyed and told him it would’ve been nice to ask me if i wanted anything. he got mad at me. i decided to get out of his truck because i got more upset at his reaction and then he yanked me back in and hit me. the relationship was all downhill after that. (more hitting). his family and everyone he knows would be shocked he did any of that but i never told anyone in his circle.
sometimes people are only terrible to people they’re intimate with or creatures who can’t tell anyone.
