Yeah, let's cut this short now, because it's not the topic at hand and there's way too much potential for mischaracterization. Not attempting to be rude but it definitely coincides with what's happening today. There's nothing about mischaracterization because as I said, the Eliza Dushku's, Corey Feldman, Anthony Rapp, etc those are the stories that need to be circulated and heard. Not ones that are based off simple misunderstandings or overreactions. Again not trying to be rude. But it definitely coincides because these are the experiences that need to be heard. That's all I am saying. No, it doesn't coincide, because it's creating a world where only certain types of mistreatment are worthy of being publicly aired. We're not doing that, here, so once again, I ask that we please drop it.

And people wonder why it's taken so long for people to come forward with these accusations. Pesonally, I think people underestimate how powerful fear can be.

I'd rather be sued until I'm pushing Thulsa Doom's Wheel of Pain for the next 30 years to pay my legal fees than ever leave my daughter alone with a 36-year-old man, no matter how much of a good guy he seemed to be. Anyway, Jamie Lee Curtis put out a piece stating Dushku had privately told her this story a few years ago. Kramer's career is looking at the headsman's ax.

The worst part is that most of these guys getting nailed are at the tail-end of their careers and able to retire easily even if they are blacklisted now. It's kind of like telling the other abusers that they can ride this gravy train well into comfortable times without ever getting caught.

First off, I’m not surprised. Second off, I’ll put money on the table right now this is A instance of abuse for Dushku, not THE instance of abuse.
I’m the kind of guy who will always - always - give the woman the benefit of doubt in cases like this. I’ve seen way too many instances growing up where men in positions of power use it to exploit. Not always sexually or maliciously, but it’s still abuse if it gives a man power over a woman.
That mini rant done, I really do hope Dushku is OK. Always liked her as an actress and always wondered why not more high profile work. Perhaps, we now have an answer.

I asked about the adult she went to that confronted the guy on her behalf. Turns out the woman was her on-set guardian (apparently a legal requirement). The woman claims that she went to the powers that be about it and nothing was done. She did not say who she complained to and both James Cameron and Arnold claim they knew nothing.
If she complained, the guy then hurt her in a stunt (this injury is verified, btw), and they still did nothing? That’s completely unacceptable.

I believe Arnold, I know if he had found out about it he would have broker the guy in half.
