Paul Haggis Accused of Sexual Misconduct by Four Women
New York Post ^ | January 5, 2018

Posted on 01/05/2018 1:34:21 PM PST by nickcarraway

A civil lawsuit charging Oscar-winning filmmaker Paul Haggis with raping a publicist has prompted three additional women to come forward with their own sexual misconduct accusations.

One of the new accusers says Haggis forced her to perform X, then raped her.

And another of the new women speaking out told the Associated Press that before she managed to run away, Haggis told her, “I need to be inside you.”

I suspect that the Scientology cult is taking its revenge on Haggis for daring to speak out about them.

I guess they couldn’t stomach Haggis.

That occurred to me. That doesn’t mean it’s not true.

When I took algebra they always wanted me to figure out X. I am 71 now and never PERFORMED it. At least, not to my knowledge.

I think your right...
must want revenge after the firing of Danny Masterson and the possible prosecution for rape..
Also, the Leah Rimini Scientolgy Aftermath is back for another season..my guess is Scientology is looking for revenge

Haggis has made a blood libel of Scientology

Hmmm

Revenge of the Scientologists. He had the temerity to leave the cult and take part in the HBO documentary..

I’ll be surprised if this is true.

Too bad. I thought Haggis was one of the good guys.
He publicly broke with the Scientology cult, was branded as an apostate by them, and supported others who left the cult as well.

LOL!

You got there ahead of me. I read the article and was thinking “What the hell is X?”

Well at least he didn’t ask for Y & Z along with X. That would have been the whole package and the poor girl probably would never be the same. Just thinking about it gives me the shudders.

It occurs to me we should ask our resident expert, the imminent Mr. Laz.

If anyone would know the pros and cons of performing X - he should know.

He probably knows Y & Z as well as X. 8>)

But I doubt the mods will allow him to post that on this site.
