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.

At the very least said something as soon as Ray Fisher spoke out.
