DB, NF, NB, not holding my breath.
Yeah, DB went from having a rep as one of Hollywood's nicest stars to the "little people" behind the scenes to cheating scandals and accounts of him treating crews terribly. NF has now been the lead of more than one series that had a culture of sketchy treatment of the actresses, including apparently getting one of them canceled in his attempt to have his co-lead fired. And I'm just crossing my fingers Nick isn't beating some woman up in a hotel room at the moment. These are not the people who are going to have credibility speaking out against bad behavior.
Well, that is horrifying. First, what happened to Michelle but also, and I have a whole other type of anger for this, that someone in authority knew and decided that a rule would be the best response. Gah.

Very glad to see ASH speaking up but it's still hard to fathom how he could be so totally unaware. Which is part of how toxic people like JW work, of course.
Right. There's a now-famously abusive person now-formerly at my employer, and my former boss worked with him a lot and never had a bad experience. It doesn't make her doubt any of the people who did, of course, but she says she really never saw it.
Some abusers and predators are really good at figuring out who they can and can't display their baser tendencies in front of, and covering up accordingly.
Jose Molina has said Whedon bragged about making women writing for the show cry when giving them story notes.
And I'm glad people are saying something but why not say something sooner?
At the very least said something as soon as Ray Fisher spoke out.
