Robin Williams’ co-star never took offense at his groping
NY Post ^ | 3/21/18 | B Hood

Robin Williams’ “Mork & Mindy” co-star, Pam Dawber, claims she was repeatedly sexually harassed by the late comedian, but she didn’t mind....

Dawber, 66, said Williams was able to get away with behavior — which also included walking on set naked and breaking wind on her — that some might consider reprehensible because he was being playful.

Leave it to a chick to talk that way about him after he is dead. Classy.

If Dawber still had a career she would have denied the whole wind thing.

Look. I liked much of Robin's work. I was sad when he died.

Me, not so much. He always rubbed me the wrong way and I realized several times that he stole routines from other stand-up comics.

She was cute but very skinny. Not a lot to grab.

Let's review the evidence:

I find your accusation hard to believe.

I guess it is me as everyone else seemed to like him but I could not stand him. Never funny at all.

I did see hints of a serious actor in “Garp” and suspect he would have been good at it. Not a comidien tho.

Very true. I remember a call from a young lady to Dr. Laura’s show where she described some fellow college student trying to touch her and feel her leg. She was asking whether she should report it as sexual harassment.

Dr. Laura reminded her that what was happening wasn’t “sexual harassment” as described by the left but crude, boorish behavior. She lamented the fact that it wasn’t that long ago that women knew how to deal with boorish behavior and that the guy might get the point if they were slapped and berated publicly for their indecent behavior.

As you put it, some people are crude, funny, or annoying. They may be tolerable and then cross some line where their behavior is no longer acceptable. You deal with it, or at least people knew how to deal with it without involving kangaroo courts in colleges and lawyers.

I’m with Dawber on this

It’s not just politics...

It was a different time

You could joke and play then and women sure didn’t cry and whine and cry victim incessantly

I can only imagine how crazy he was back then all coked up

People thought he was funny....I sure did

Ditto. I generally found him to constantly over-act, unnecessarily.

He was always full-on, regardless of the scene.

For whatever reason, he eschewed "timing".

I’d give a crew member a pass or two then tell them to knock it off. I don’t want to destroy someone’s career because they “accidentally” had inappropriate touching.

Robin Williams as a performer, he was often brilliant. I admit I laughed at him a few times, but he never reached in and tortured my funny bone like Cosby did or even Chris Rock. He seemed to be mentally unstable, even schizophrenic. Laughing at him was like laughing at Howard Sterns belittling of midgets and the retarded. I laughed, but felt guilty afterwards.

I liked his early stuff. As I grew older it was as if my brain just grew tired of the manic ups and downs. But, I would stop to watch if I came across him.

What he was doing back then, in context, I could understand. But Robin was Robin. If anyone else did that, my bet is they would have been dismissed out of hand.

Harassment is often in the eye of the one being harassed. I am not going to judge Robin Williams. He has been judged already by one greater than all of us.
