You might be in the running for a Darwin Award if... You congregate at a carwash,at 2 to 3am --for ANY reason!.But to wind up there with someone who just was dumped by a relative and was "jealous and angry",well,you wouldn't catch me there unless I wanted to win a Darwin award. ---GR Anonymous
jerry pdx I'm not a James Franco fan, though he was good in the great Freaks & Geeks TV series where he got his start, but his acting in big time movies has been borderline atrocious, just watch the prequel to Wizard of Oz for the perfect example. I hadn't paid much attention to the sexual harassment allegations against him, it's all getting to be background white noise that I just tune out. However, by chance I caught an Inside Edition interview with his accusers. 3 women went in front of the camera and described incidents that didn't even remotely resemble sexual harassment. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-pJltN8Tbc&t=153s
Here it is in a nutshell with my responses:
First girl: "I could have said no, but had sex with him anyways in a car because I wanted him to like me."
Are you kidding? She consented because she wanted him to like her. Oh please, if I had a quarter for every girl who has told me she gave it up to some guy before she really wanted to have sex because "she wanted him to like her", I'd be a millionaire. Wanting him to like you is not his fault, the fact that your personal desires caused you to CONSENT is what matters, and that is not harassment.
Second girl: I was his personal assistant and "He sent me two insulting and demeaning text messages", in one he called me retarded. Though she also threw in that they had a consensual relationship at some point.
Where does sexual harassment enter in to this? Maybe Franco is a jerk of a boss but that's a different issue. Besides, maybe she is retarded, the fact she is in front of a camera pushing this as sexual harassment is suggestive of some kind of innate flaw.
Third girl: "There was an orgy scene in an independent movie he was producing, and I didn't think it was artistically justified" so didn't want to do it.
"Artistic justification" is so subjective this could purely have to do with her own personal boundaries, not necessarily anyone else's. She doesn't say if she actually went through with the scene but if she did then she consented, and if not, then what's the problem? Funny thing about this girl is she's really not even particularly attractive, the other girls were pretty hot looking at least, I'm having trouble believing Franco really wanted to get into her pants that badly. Hmmm... just speculating, but maybe that's the reason why she's bitter and vengeful...
I have a hard time feeling sorry for a lot of these Hollywood actors because most of them are wimp liberal poseurs who embrace every liberal issue that comes around the corner and relish bashing Trump in order to gain validation from their peers. However, to destroy this man's career and ruin his chances for an Oscar this year (he's been pulled from consideration), over this nonsense is more evidence that this harassment campaign is becoming more and more of a pure witch hunt. They are having trouble finding legit cases after picking the low hanging fruit so now the definition of "sexual harassment" is expanding to anything that might be deemed the slightest bit inappropriate. Makes great headlines and gives failed wanna be actresses a chance to get their faces and names in the news, and possibly a payoff.
The recent racial politicization of the Oscars was bad enough, but now with actors being blacklisted due to questionable sexual harassment accusations, it's becoming more and more clear the Oscars have nothing to do with merit, but everything to do with political posturing.
Jerry,it's pigeon-holed into a certain narrow segment of society--older white guy.Might be a politician,actor,director,coach,athlete--but 90% of people accused are 50-75 year old white guys,with the "crimes" occurring years ago.Franco is the exception,but only because of his age. The purpose is to demonize and create a viewpoint(that the liberal media never fails to attempt to advance)by reporting EACH complaint--that whites are evil. Lesta says that every night--and gets away with it--so it must be true,lol.CBS says so too.If they waved a watch in front of the cameras while they "reported" this stuff,maybe they could hypnotize me into thinking it WAS true. I shouldn't give them any ideas.
