Bit annoying to have someone like Louis CK being ostracized by distributors and production companies due to some allegations. I am being denied access to his content due to the trending outrage. I couldn't care less what he's done, I'll still watch his shows.

if you've read army of spies by the new yorker, I'd venture to say, check Corey Haims mothers bank balance in a few months. In terms of damage control, who best for sheen to get a good reference from but the victims mother. It's happened in the past where parents have jacked in work and lived off their kids earnings, cars, holidays mansions etc, all while the kid is being pimped out. many have been emancipated from same parents as a last ditch way to keep their own earnings and prevent exploitation, remember we're talking about kids too. you gotta ask what kind of person you're dealing with. where was she when robert downey Jr took a young teenege haim to live with him for a spell?? why not home to mrs Haim????? yeah she' close to em alright!!

sheen is loaded and what's $2 million to haims mother if she'll vouch it certainly wasn't him. If she knows it definitely wasn't, she must know who it definitely was??? otherwise she's as reliable as sheen. aparently the dogs on the street knew it was him as much as same said dogs new weinstien raped mcgowan...

What a narcissist. He mentions how "admired" he was three times in a short statement.

what pisses me off is how the likes of SNL comediens like Tina Few can make a career out of mocking bill cosby and sarah palin (and rightly so).

As soon as it hits home, well gosh darn it we're all out of ideas.
Has anyone read jessica chastains view on it??what a lady..
I was happy before I was an actress and if I was blanked in the morning, I'd be fine with that!! class act. she's gone after brian singer as well and good for her.

Yeah...this is basically my thinking. My attitude towards this woman is dubious as is given her blatant lack of care for her son when he was a child and at his most vulnerable.

Looks like Haim's mother has torpedoed the accusations against Charlie Sheen.

Obviously she knew her son best but I'd question, regardless of how open her son was with her, the assumption that he would have disclosed a deeply traumatising and confusing period of his life to her.

There seems to be such a consistent level of corroboration coming out of the set of the film in question that it's criminal that Sheen is protected from even being questioned due to the statute of limitations.

I saw an interview with Corey Haim's mother about one year after he died. They had a very close relationship. She was undergoing chemotherapy
when he died and he was taking care of her. What struck me as rather strange was when the interviewer asked her if she wished anything in the
past could have been done differently, she said no, that 'I would not be the person I am today' without her past - or something to that effect. My
eyes popped out of my head when she said this! :eek: Her son was dead!! And she would not have changed anything??? :mad: Perhaps it was
guilt because she seems to have facilitated Corey's career - the family left Canada to move to Hollywood. Corey's sister returned to Canada as
she was not happy in Hollywood. The parents eventually separated, but it was the father who had always seemed to have been more concerned
with the affect of the marriage break-up on the children. She does not like Corey Feldman and wishes he would stay quiet. One wonders why she
seems to be in such a state of denial. Perhaps it would be too difficult to face the truth. My sympathy for her would be limited, because of her
saying that she would not have done anything differently prior to her son's death!! :mad:

Thing is, that you have to take family dynamics into account. People in these cases usually ask where the parents were, why they let their child go to parties unsupervised, and given that they were 'in' the industry, must have heard rumours swirling about the powerful people and the things that they were rumoured to do. But, some parents - not necessarily Haim's - were content to turn a blind eye as long as the money rolled in. Or they were groomed as well.

Child abusers are usually people close to the family. Sometimes the parent's are fully aware and even actively facilitating it. Some don't want to rock the boat when their child does disclose because they like the lifestyle or social standing they have and don't want to lose it.

Children who were protected are the ones like Elijah Wood, who's parents never let him attend orgies adult parties alone. Then you have the Lindsey Lohans, Corey Haims, and Drew Barrymores who were allowed to have an adult lifestyle before even puberty.

To be honest, I'd take what Mrs. Haim says with a big pinch of salt. There is too much corroboration of her son's abuse from other sources. Too many people have similar stories to Haim's about the same people who abused him. Of course she's going to deny that her son was passed around to paedophiles, and that there was basically unlimited and unsupervised access to the child and that the whole of Hollywood, including every child predator, knew it. To say otherwise would raise serious questions about her duty as his guardian.

One thing I read was about a party attended by Corey Haim when he was very young - his parents were also in attendance. Corey was not enjoying it and went outside where he was found crying by Sarah Jessica Parker and her then boyfriend, Robert Downey Jr. According to Parker, Downey brought Corey home with him and allowed him to live with him for months. How strange was that?
Corey was only a child and it is well known that Downey had drug problems in his youth. Where were Corey's Mum and Dad during this time? Corey's Mum does not want much delving into her past behaviour re Corey's welfare.

Led Zeppelin had Jimmy Page, another who was sleeping with at least one underage 13/14 year old when he was in his late 20's. Took her with him on tour. David Bowie another in the mix. There's a long list of rockers sleeping with underage girls, but they seem to get away with it.

Yeah I realised as soon as I posted the above that Bill Wyman and Jimmy Page were already guilty. Never heard anything about Bowie, but also a fan of his so makes sense I guess.

Sure wasn't a woman recently arrested for flashing the Mona Lisa (and all in the vacinity) another at a baseball game cause there were some young boys beside her. Tove Lo flashes the crowds at her concerts each night too and let's not forget about all those female celebs who use see thru tops and split skirts, with no underwear on to sell their latest films. Can't remember seeing Tom Hanks get his todger out on the red carpet to sell Forest Gump, but I could be wrong. Women flashing in public is not seen as an inherently sinister act the way it is when a man gets his dick out though. Sure look at Mardi Gras in the states. A festival put on so women can expose themselves, or at least that's what it's become. A topic for another thread perhaps.

Anyway, looks like Louis' career's gonna take a big hit, in the short term at least.

Given the rumours about RDJ's dad being of a similar...persuasion, he probably knew a lot of the sharks circling Haim for what they were and while his heart was in the right place, with his own addiction issues he had his own demons to contend with at the same time.

RDJ seems like a decent man, and if he had been sober then, it could have been a very different future for Haim.

But yeah, Mrs. Haim not minding if her kid goes off to live with a drug user for a few months? Beggars belief.

It sounded like it was well intentioned on RDJ's part, but it was bizarre that CH's mother/parents were ok with it. Serious dereliction of duty on her/their part. No wonder she wants Corey Feldman to stop stirring the pot.

There are mothers who turn out their children for prostitution, or set them up for abuse, horrific a fact as that may be.

If that's true, then fair f*cks to RDJ. I've a tonne of respect for that man, but now it's got much better.

It takes someone strong to come back from the levels of addiction he was seemingly having and apparently turning it completely around.

Edit:

I also do think that what we were seeing about Louis CK, wherein he admitted to what he was doing through his various performances, was a cry for help. It would explain why he so readily admitted to it.

It's also possible that it was a massive display of arrogance, that he thought he could behave as he did, and even allude to that behaviour in public, and get away with it.

Jimmy Saville did something similar, announcing in interviews that he'd do whatever he could get away with - and he did, as we know.

Never underestimate the arrogance of people who believe they're untouchable.

It's a far from perfect platform, but I don't think anyone can dispute that it's been the vehicle that made it possible for victims to oust their abusers having found their voices aren't alone or even unusual in some cases.

The power of solidarity at work.

It's far from perfect, but people suffering alone and not reporting for fear of repercussion or because of trauma have found strength in numbers.

I think in the case where an allegation has been denied by the accused, then you are entitled to have your day in court and not be trialed by media.

BBC has axed their Agatha Christie drama which featured Ed Westwick- bear in mind Ed has denied ever even meeting the woman, and she has changed details of the alleged circumstances when it was figured he wasn't even in the country at the time. If there are going to be names fired out on Twitter every single day now, its awful to think that there is the potential for innocent names to be mixed up in all of this.

If you admit your wrongdoings (Harvey, Louis et al) then it's up to your individual employer to decide how they want to proceed but you deserve to face consequences (and on a personal level they can go to hell)- but where you've denied something then it's only right to be treated as our justice system advocates you be treated.

A male rock star had a gig. After the gig his stage managers asks the crowd if anyone wants to go backstage to meet the superstar rock star. 100 girls step up. The manager says the rock star wants a massage. Is anyone willing.

That may be fairly despicable but is it illegal?

Anyone could do that if they were rich and famous. It's impossible to stamp out.

It's not the rock stars fault that he's popular.

What about ordinary irish men who are successful on Tinders or those apps. They can meet 3 different women per week but the women are willing participants. Other less successful men can't get any dates.

Anthony Edwards (Top Gun, ER, Gotcha! etc) accuses a producer (Gary Goddard) of abusing him as a child:

Anthony Edwards Accuses Producer Gary Goddard of Molesting Him "For Years"

Anthony Edwards has written an emotional essay in which he alleges that writer-producer Gary Goddard molested him and raped his friend in a pattern of abuse that "went on for years."

Edwards' piece, published Friday on Medium and titled "Yes Mom, There is Something Wrong," is particularly troubling considering his age at the time. The actor, now 55 years old and best known for his Emmy-nominated work on E.R., recalls meeting Goddard when he was 12. "He quickly became a dominant force in my life," Edwards writes. "He taught me about the value of acting, respect for friendship and the importance of studying." Calling Goddard — known for film work like 1987's Masters of the Universe and for a long list of credits designing and producing major theme park attractions including Jurassic Park: The Ride, Terminator 2/3D: Battle Across Time, Star Trek: The Experience, Jaws and King Kong on the Loose — a "sick father figure," Edwards writes that he and his five friends grew close to the man during what was a pivotal time in his life.

"Pedophiles prey on the weak. My father, who suffered from undiagnosed PTSD from WWII, was not emotionally available. Everyone has the need to bond, and I was no exception. My vulnerability was exploited. I was molested by Goddard, my best friend was raped by him — and this went on for years. The group of us, the gang, stayed quiet," he writes after opening the essay by revealing that his mother approached him when he was 14 to ask about the rumors she'd heard about Goddard, that he was a pedophile. However, he "denied it through tears of complete panic," and "to face that truth was not an option as my sense of self was completely enmeshed in my gang of five friends who were all led by this sick father figure."

He does not name the friends, but he does write that he confronted Goddard 22 years ago.

"I happened to run into Gary Goddard at an airport," he recalls. "I was able to express my outrage at what he had done. He swore to his remorse and said that he had gotten help. I felt a temporary sense of relief. I say temporary because when Goddard appeared in the press four years ago for alleged sexual abuse, my rage resurfaced."

It is not the first time Goddard has faced these types of accusations. He was named in a teen sex abuse lawsuit in 2014 by Michael Egan, whose case later collapsed under his own credibility issues, and his lawyers apologized for making false claims against some of the defendants. Egan later went to jail for fraud. Seeing Goddard's name in the press triggered Edwards, he writes, leading him to seek outside help.

"At 51 years old, I was directed by a group of loving friends to a therapist who specializes in this kind of abuse. By processing my anger in a safe place with a professional, I was finally able to have the conversation that I wish I could have had with my mom when I was 14," he explains.

As a result of that process, he has gained perspective on the abuse he suffered, but also how widespread his experience is among men. "I’ve learned a lot in these last four years. Most importantly, I’ve learned that I’m not alone. One in six men have an abusive sexual experience before they turn 18. Secrecy, shame and fear are the tools of abuse, and it is only by breaking the stigma of childhood sexual abuse that we can heal, change attitudes, and create safer environments for our children," he concludes, later ending the essay by offering links to resources that he has found helpful on his own journey. One of those he lists is Mariska Hargitay's Joyful Heart Foundation. (Edwards had a guest role opposite Hargitay on NBC's Law & Order: SVU, and he currently stars on Law & Order True Crime: The Menendez Murders)

It has been 37 days since The New York Times published Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey's investigative piece detailing Harvey Weinstein's decades of alleged sexual misconduct, a story that was quickly followed by Ronan Farrow's own investigation about Weinstein published by The New Yorker. Their work and subsequent stories on the subject opened the floodgates to create a far-reaching dialogue about harassment, assault and sexual misconduct, not only in Hollywood but in many industries across the globe. Thus far, the conversation about sexual misconduct has largely focused on female victims and accusers. There have been exceptions, however, like Corey Feldman, Terry Crews, and multiple men who came forward with claims that they were harassed or assaulted by APA agent Tyler Grasham.

We still have to remember, in fairness to Piven, that not one of the accusations made are remotely proven yet and the denials were instant and categoric.

What this might certainly change in Hollywood is not only rape and sexual assault, but people leaving themselves in situations where rape and sexual assault may be alleged.

He molested Edwards, and then raped one of his friends-but I think the manipulation didn't stop there. Even as an adult, Antony Edwards I mean, and 37 years ago, Goddard told Edwards he'd 'gotten treatment'...and then only a few years ago, more accusations comes out. This Goddard guy is a real piece of excrement.
