This may be the biggest scandal since we discovered they were all commies.
Now America will know they're all homosexual, pedophile commies.
At least that's my wife's theory.
This won’t cause a chip in their armor. Most star struck idiots will say “Oh, that’s just a couple of freaks. IF it’s even true.”
The chickens are coming home to roost, finally.
If God doesn’t destroy Hollywood, he owes Sodom and Gomorrah an apology.
I will ask the same question I'd asked a couple of days ago on this case. What is the standard of proof required to make such an accusation? Now, I do not know this Bryan Singer, I am not defending him, and I am not saying there are no cases of abuse in tinseltown. All I am asking is what is the standard of proof required? Certain accusations carry a lot of weight, and the proof requisite should also be similarly significant.
Or can one simply come and say 'so and so' molested me, do a writeup of how that abuse occured, and file a suit asking for monetary damages?
My question is - before these accusations are made public, is their a standard of proof that is required that goes beyond simply writing a statement on what was done?
(Again: Just to re-emphasize, I am not defending this chap, and do not know him. I am asking what I believe is a logical question, and not just for this case. Does the legal system have filters in place to ensure an accusation is based on fact before they make something headline news? On the other thread some days back a FReeper gave an example he knew of where some average Joe got railroaded with a similar accusation, which turned out false. Unfortunately, even false accusations can break up families and such).
Brave, brave man. Thank you. This has been true for decades. Hollywood jerks have adored their underaged girls and boys, using them, drugging them, and throwing them away. LETS MAKE IT STOP.
Sadly, I doubt if this will impact the box office on the new X-Men movie in the least. Even people who think there is some fire behind this smoke will go anyway—some of it to support “the embattled Singer.” Like the people who cheer with extra enthusiasm for the accused rapist football player.
With the understanding that people are ultimately responsible for their own actions, it makes you wonder about the short, troubled life of Brad Renfro, star of Apt Pupil.
This is the type of scandal that could have horrible consequences for the entertainment industry—especially when it reinforces the stereotype of homosexuals as pedophiles. Some very high profile gays in the entertainment industry such as TMZ founder Harvey Levin and actors Neal Patrick Harris and Kevin Spacey better be very careful, because even a hint of a closer association with the accused pedophiles in this story could end their careers in no time flat.
I would love to see their statements on the priests who were alleged sex abusers. I wonder if they bashed the Priests as most media did. I would love to find this out. The Directors who are allegedly found to have abused in the same way.
I went to IMDB.com to see what Michael Egan was in. He was only in 3 things and very small roles. I wonder if he is depressed about the way his career turned out.
Corey Feldman and Tracy McCaulkin should come clean who raped them...Corey Heim committed suicide about getting raped as a kid!
my understanding from the news reports on this meltdown is that they are pictures from these “parties” (no women present)
There is no question what was happening there.
Why was a 15 year old there.
This just ruins the x-men movies. (then again ii and iii were pretty bad on their own)
It also explains the “two kings(princes?)” tv series on Disney.
