I’m beginning to worry that the intense public shaming that is going on now is going to result in some suicides and I’m getting angrier and angrier at the companies and institutions that allowed some of this behavior to go on. If the stories now coming out about the House of Cards can be believed, much of the aggressive sexual groping happened right in the open on the set. Everyone not only knew but saw. The people in charge took limited action exactly once and are now trying to hide behind sexual harassment policies that they made no attempt to enforce. If this is true, there should be severe repercussions for them - some should be sued, shamed, and banned from working. Most actors want to work and want the money. If it had been clear that this behavior would not be tolerated, many would at least control themselves at work and the damage could have been limited. It’s sickening.

I’m suspecting this is the real reason they suddenly stopped the shooting of the last season. It seemed unfair to the crew and the rest of the actors. If he is the problem why affect the way of living of everyone else but now it seems to me they were fearing the mass accusations within the production.
This situation should had been stopped early on.

This article about the Old Vic makes it clear everybody knew. www.theguardian.com/culture/2017/nov/01/old-vic-accused-of-ignoring-sexual-misconduct-by-kevin-spaceyReplying to the title of the thread, I think that is why it wasn't a rush judgement. Everybody knew at the Old Vic, at the House of Card set, everywhere. Bryan Singer deleted his twitter account because there has been new accusations againt him and he was having his posts on twitter full of angry people accusing him of being a rapist. The people in charge took limited action exactly once and are now trying to hide behind sexual harassment policies that they made no attempt to enforce. If this is true, there should be severe repercussions for them - some should be sued, shamed, and banned from working. Do you have a link?

About the Old Vic, I also thought they reaction was because they knew something would coming.I read the post by the Mexican actor in Spanish before it was circulated in English and then googled the theatre and they were saying they weren’t aware about any case nor complaint but will investigate because they take the issue very serious. Of course, I though they knew something and maybe they even knew someone was saying they always knew on the other side of the world! They were preparing for the storm. The same with Netflix.

Okay. It’s official that this scum production company is getting away with it. I’m going to binge-watch Alias Grace and then cancel Netflix!
I’ll leave all the profanity I’m using to your imaginations.

I admire your ethics Coolclearwaters but I fear if you shun every organisation in the entertainment industry that has turned a blind eye to inappropriate sexual behaviour you will be left with less choice than a Vegan who doesn’t eat vegetales.

This is what I mean about the ethics of making accusations public before even a preliminary investigation has taken place.
If it turns out this man was, as he claimed, innocent then it can never now be put right and two children have lost their father forever.
And I doubt this will be the only such incident.
I honestly think this whole situation needs to be handled much better.

Was it suicide? Is his death related to the charges against him? Whether or not he was guilty of the charges, suicide is a drastic response.
