What is really concerning is that surrounding this case and others like it a women's movement arose called the "Me Too" movement.
As in, me too! I too was sexually assaulted by such and such.
Thinking themselves martyrs and heroes for the cause of bringing sexual abuse in the entertainment industry to light, these women and some men too, didn't realize what they're actually saying of themselves. Those who speak out in some cases decades after the alleged abuse but at that time said not a word.
And when asked about that by any media outlet's reporter that dares broach that question, the celebrity is once again self-absorbed in their response. They kept quiet because they feared reprisal on them and their career.
As if that's a viable reason to stay mute and allow an alleged sexual predator to continue hunting.
Now, years, decades in some cases, after the supposed assault these individuals claim happened back in the day, they think they're forerunners in a new movement to expose perverts in the trade.
They've of course even got swag to make money for the effort. "ME TOO" movement bumper stickers and the like. Really?
Heck no they're not heroes. They're complicit accomplices in years and even decades of sexual abuse that occurred against other alleged victims that suffered after the fact of that particular celebrity's alleged assault occurred on the day. Their silence back when allowed a sexual predator to continue preying on unsuspecting men and women in the entertainment industry.
Because that alleged victims career meant more than prosecuting their abuser. Which is to say in their own words when they make excuses for that silence after all this time, they figured being raped, sexually assaulted, molested, was worth the price in itself so as to make it famous in Hollywood.
Now they're coming out claiming to be heroes because they're speaking up and giving names of their abuser(s) YEARS after the fact? When for years that person has allegedly tallied more victims?
That's how twisted values have become in this society. People look up to celebrities for some reason I can't figure out. And then when certain of those celebrities prove they're immoral and narcissistic and don't give a care about anyone else unless they end up getting paid to fake that, their admirers champion them as worthy of respect because , as in this case, they're finally "exposing" sexual predators in the industry.
Finally! After those predators were allowed by those same outspoken celebrities now to make more victims due to the silence that enabled that for years.
But now they get attention, paid, and patted on the back. FOR WHAT?
Being co-conspirators with serial sexual abusers. That's what.
God help us.
