I agree, su0000. Yet, Liberals still hold their beloved Bill Clinton near and dear to their hearts….

Stereotyping entire groups of people (“the liberals”) as if they all act the same is ignorant.

@su0000, totally agree with you Su.

suoooo…Don’t know what you consider “radical” political correctness, even though I do admit to getting tired of hearing about all the abuse allegations everyday, no matter where they are coming from. It’s one of reasons I didn’t watch the Academy Awards anymore. I just want to be entertained in the same way I want my soaps to be love and adventure in the afternoon. (And I can handle some Corrintos, just not soooo much.) Do remember what may have been the first “protest”…Marlon Brando had a Native American woman pick up his award for best actor. Plus another reason I… Read more »

Amazing post, SuzieQ…..I am as open-minded as one can be ( liberal in theory; practical at heart), but unprincipled ‘ideals’ brought on stage is uncalled for…..especially for those who have no education or a clue about politics and what makes it tick. Most, as Jennifer Lawrence, or even Barbra Streisand, spew nonsense, which only manifests their ignorance. Being a celebrity does not a genius make. I used to love the Oscars….my siblings and I would get all our snacks together ( started as kids) awaiting THE OSCARS with excitement….now, these “stars’ ( who don’t shine), are a kill-joy!! Do they… Read more »

I don’t like any awards or soaps being a place to do more than just entertain. But as some would say “that ship has sailed.” Especially with social media and the number of media outlets and “experts.” So to those who would discount the opinions of celebrities, or maybe even the Florida kids, or anyone one else because to some they may have “unprincipled ideals, or no experience, or no clue about politics” in some eyes is almost funny. Look at who some voted into office this last election…known by many from a tv show with no political experience. And… Read more »

I did not watch, Ray…..just the odd ad; news etc…..but, I appreciate your honest appraisal of what is what. No frills, no bias…just the facts. TY.

I think it has happened it has been going on for years I also think we have false accusations thrown around and Hollywood is the last place you look for answers.

kay, women are wonderful BUT today it just seems like there is no energy in the room anymore to meet and mingle. I just go about my business, enjoy my job and keep my mouth shut!

Thats so true, this finger pointing has watered down what was once major compassion towards abuse. Now, we all wonder unless the abuse is obvious.

well then there’s also the case of Bill Cosby who, even though, scores of women have accused him still went on to a successful career! It’s because of attitudes of people who don’t believe women, even when they’re in numbers, that people are afraid to speak out. As for Muhney, if he were innocent there’d be many of his co-workers rushing to his defense and he would have sued for defamation. As for Seacrest? I always liked him. He’s likeable, charming, attractive. But then again I always liked Mel Gibson until I heard the anti-semitic garbage that came out of… Read more »

Or, to be more accurate, I accept that I don’t KNOW the truth and therefore don’t take sides…(and, of course, if I like the actor I’d prefer it to be proven false).

rebecca1-There are cases like that of Cosby or Weinstein (and many, many more) that are legitimate. I don’t have any bias towards Ryan Seacrest, or really, any male figure in Hollywood. It just grows tiresome that you can’t turn on the television these days without a new allegation from 5, 10, 15-plus years ago without any substantial proof. It just seems that with the on-slaught of allegations, some (not all) of the allegations are questionable. Again, I think it takes away from those women who have been severely abused, assaulted, brutalized, and harassed. You know who I was really disappointed… Read more »

Yes, dmr….lest we forget the young men who, also, are victims to sexual harrassment….straight and gay.
My very ‘bestest’ friend, and Godfather to my son, ( who is gay) had his ups and downs, as did some of my straight friends.
I think many of us experienced sexual harassment in some form or another.
As far as I am concerned, lewd comments about one’s body, specifically the bosom ( I simply did not tolerste that—sick, especially for those men who have daughters) is not only sexual harassment, but also sexist. No touching necessary…words are just as bad.

Hi dmr…I think that’s the problem. Unless people have witnesses it’s a he said/she said and that’s very unfortunate; regardless if its’ the woman who was really abused or the man falsely accused. However, the reason allegations are coming out as you say, “5, 10, 15 plus” years later (or from ago as you said) is BECAUSE women weren’t believed, their careers were ruined if they dared speak out; their reputations sullied. Even in today’s day and age fans of Michael Muhney couldn’t believe that he could possibly do what the actress accused him of. Why? Because he’s a fan… Read more »

You really think Seacrest is gay, Steve? I don’t know….this is one guy who has me baffled. If he is, why is he fighting it? As you say, this is 2018…. a new world…. I, also, wanted to point out that there are lascivious perverts—-usually older men; just as there are women who tell untruths and cry rape. As dmr states; it’s easy money, while someone’s reputation is shot to death. ….or, they do it for attention, while those who are truly victims may not be believed because of women who are mendacious. I know doctors ( male and female)… Read more »
