A commission headed by Anita Hill and composed of and funded by some of the most powerful names in Hollywood has been created to tackle widespread sexual abuse and harassment in the media and entertainment industries.
Called the Commission on Sexual Harassment and Advancing Equality in the Workplace, the initiative was spearheaded by Kathleen Kennedy, the president of Lucasfilm; Maria Eitel, the co-chair of the Nike Foundation; the powerhouse attorney Nina Shaw; and Freada Kapor Klein, the venture capitalist who helped pioneer surveys on sexual harassment decades ago.
The commission’s mission, according to a news release, is to “tackle the broad culture of abuse and power disparity.”
“The commission will lead the entertainment industry toward alignment in achieving safer, fairer, more equitable and accountable workplaces —particularly for women and marginalized people,” according to a statement released Friday evening.
Ms. Kennedy, Ms. Eitel, Ms. Shaw and Ms. Klein called the meeting on Friday, and it included some of the titans of the media and entertainment industries: the agents Ari Emanuel and Bryan Lourd, Screen Actors Guild President Gabrielle Carteris, Dawn Hudson of the academy, Bob Iger of Disney, Jim Gianopulos of Paramount, Leslie Moonves of CBS and Ted Sarandos of Netflix.

Pathetic estrogen howl
Whatever happened to satisfied happy women
Did they all die?
Anita Hill, who is, after all, a LAWYER, has denied that she ever accused Clarence Thomas of sexual harassment. She specifically denied it in so many words. She said that she brought forth “information,” that she believed the public ought to have.
Hill says nothing, however, as others repeat endlessly the false claim that she “accused Clarence Thomas of sexual harassment.”
The choice of Hill to head this commission is a nakedly (pardon the expression) political, partisan act.
Is there a Mr. Silver on the commission? It is Hollywood...
Mine did, FWIW.
No. They don’t feel the need to always shout “hey, look at me” in public like the miserable strumpets we always see in the media.
The left is excellent at creating misleading but effective titles. During the GWB administration, Dems would hold fake hearings, with no authorization or authority but the look of a real congressional hearing. The MSM would give them air time, especially for sound bites as if they were actual congressional hearings.
After Justice Thomas again, eh?
I’m sorry buddy
Decent men are dying out as well it feels like
The older one gets the more you realize the mean folks live longer
What? Does she need another 45 seconds of fame so she won’t be forgotten in the anals of history?
A proven false accuser, heading investigation of the topic of her accusations? What could possibly go wrong? < /sarc >
Hope you don’t mind....I stole that and posted it as “Fact of the Day” on Facebook
The new information that caused this change of heart? Absolutely NONE. The difference was simply that the liberal media had a full year to work their magic on the public, and forget what their lyin' eyes had actually seen.
