Probably. Not sure of any public sex assault or rape accusations against the guy, though.

The person who outed him was herself outed in the early 00s for horrible mental abuse of her boyfriend. I'm not saying I don't believe her or that, if he did what she said, it's somehow "lessened" by her awfulness.

the only person whose movies i refuse to watch is Woody Allen. well, and roman polanski, but The Ninth Gate is the only thing he's done in my lifetime worth watching

e: i also have a hard time listening to the Flaming Lips ever since i read the article about how Wayne Coyne has "sleepovers" at Miley Cyrus' house and she calls him "daddy" :puke:

Whelp, according to Amanda Segel (who was showrunner on The Mist) even Bob Weinstein is a piece of poo poo as he sexually harassed her by constantly trying to start a romantic relationship with her even after she made it clear that she wasn't interested.
But Hollywood teaches us that you just have to be persistent and she'll eventually realize you're her soul mate /s

A lot of behavior that was considered innocent in the 60’s and 70’s... isn’t. Like, that was Weinstein’s bullshit defense. “Oh, this stuff was normal and accepted when I was younger!” Yeah, no.

Lot of inappropriate nonconsensual predatory poo poo happens in frats, always has. Did Dubya rape someone? Probably not. Did he grab some poor girls rear end at a frat party? Yeah, probably.

Or maybe he didn't? I feel like he did enough terrible poo poo that you don't really need to assume he did other terrible poo poo there is no evidence of. You can just stick with the war crimes and such.

Also his real name is Paul Zaloom. Why even give a dude a fake name when he already has such an amazing mad scientist name?
