Since she hasn’t named names though it has been 20 years, I say this is peacocking, joining in the victimhood crusade, not a serious allegation.
She’s at the top of her career, already established, and Weinstein is outed.
And if it is someone else she’s afraid of, this is the perfect time to name them and be believed.
Instead, generic allegation and no name. Showboating.
Dang. Can’t believe I messed that one up.
Thank you for the kind words
And I agree FR is pretty good. I enjoy the format.
You have a great evening
I agree. I think anything that even suggests “sex appeal” is damaging to children.
In the Midwest, events such as county fairs have “baby shows,” where the point is for the baby to look happy and healthy, in a traditional frilly frock or sailor suit. I don’t think that’s inappropriate.
Of course, the last time I saw one was at least 20 years ago. The babies may all be dressed as ho’s and gangstas now.
A quick search of “county fair baby show pictures” has little girls in frilly frocks and baby boys in cute little boy outfits featuring tractors and stuff.
Good.
I have always been the sort that approved of achievement.
The “Oh look, he’s so cute, just look at him, why what a handsome fellow or pretty girl...” stuff, not so much.
I see your point. On the other hand, there’s only so much a 6-month-old can achieve. At least the parents have achieved having him dressed and not throwing a tantrum or throwing up for half an hour or so.
In the last few years I have watched several foreign TV shows and movies with excellent acting. Meaning? It’s not too hard.
It does take talent, but it’s not like there aren’t tons of others who could do the same job.
I was molested by a church deacon and the family dentist. I was between 9 and 12 when this occurred.
I said nothing until my 40’s. I was raised in foster care and would not have been believed and even if I was believed, the assumption would have been that I caused it.
Yeah it does take talent, but it’s definitely not one of the most difficult skills to learn. I’ve seen a lot of good performances in high school productions and colleges.
It is somewhat doubtful this will make sense to you. Perhaps it’s not worth mentioning. I will anyway.
I understand your point. It’s my take that children are soaking up so much information at that age, they don’t miss a thing.
I think parents should do their best to convey love, and establish a foundation so the child recognizes that in them, and also eternal support.
Seeing our beaming faces when we look at them is the most healthy form of recognition.
There’s a difference between heaping mindless praise on them and expressions of support and love.
I don’t mean to be argumentative. Perhaps I’m not conveying a point that I see as productive to the mental health of the child.
Do we play into a dependency on good looks, by complimenting them based on their looks? Does this cause them to put too much weight on their looks?
Should good looks even matter? Well sure, but I think we can help them to form healthy forms of that.
Perhaps this is too tweaked to address. Just my thoughts on the subject.
Take care.
You bet...FRiend. If it weren’t for FR, well...there wouldn’t be much reason for me to visit the Internet!
She is brave.
I admire all these women coming forward. It had to have been a scary thing, being so oppressed by the powers that be, thank God it’s finally coming out into the open.
I hope all those monsters are driven out of the industry.

No sale.
Brave is deciding that having a career in Hollywood isn’t worth it, and going public and saving others from the same fate.
LOL..it happens.
