Zal te maken hebben met de inhoud van de film.

The New York Times is understood to be working on a story about C.K. and allegations of sexual harassment so the cancellation could be a precautionary measure.
C.K. also hastily scrapped an appearance on CBS’ “Late Show With Stephen Colbert.” He was scheduled to be on the show on Thursday, but has been replaced by William H. Macy.

Ik lees nu opeens overal dat er ook over hem al veel langer geruchten rond gingen.

Rumors of C.K.’s alleged misdeeds have previously been addressed by comedians including Roseanne Barr, who publicly addressed the rumors in 2016, saying she’s heard stories about C.K. “locking the door and masturbating in front of women comics and writers.”

“I can’t tell you,” she continued. “I’ve heard so many stories. Not just him, but a lot of them. And it’s just par for the course. It’s just shit women have to put up with.”

In 2017, comedian Tig Notaro, whom C.K. discovered at the Largo comedy club in Los Angeles, cut ties with C.K. and said in an interview with the Daily Beast that he “needed to handle” the rumors. “It’s serious to be harassed. It’s serious, it’s serious, it’s serious,” she said. C.K. responded to the allegations in a September interview with The New York Times: “I’m not going to answer to that stuff because they’re rumors,” he said. “If you actually participate in a rumor, you make it bigger, and you make it real.”

Aanranden en verkrachten lijkt wel echt een dingetje te zijn van de "creatieve sector". Niet geheel toevallig precies die sector waarin voornamelijk deugers werkzaam zijn.

quote:

"I want to address the stories told to the New York Times by five women named Abby, Rebecca, Dana, Julia who felt able to name themselves and one who did not.
These stories are true. At the time, I said to myself that what I did was okay because I never showed a woman my dick without asking first, which is also true. But what I learned later in life, too late, is that when you have power over another person, asking them to look at your dick isn’t a question. It’s a predicament for them. The power I had over these women is that they admired me. And I wielded that power irresponsibly.

I have been remorseful of my actions. And I've tried to learn from them. And run from them. Now I’m aware of the extent of the impact of my actions. I learned yesterday the extent to which I left these women who admired me feeling badly about themselves and cautious around other men who would never have put them in that position.

I also took advantage of the fact that I was widely admired in my and their community, which disabled them from sharing their story and brought hardship to them when they tried because people who look up to me didn't want to hear it. I didn't think that I was doing any of that because my position allowed me not to think about it.

There is nothing about this that I forgive myself for. And I have to reconcile it with who I am. Which is nothing compared to the task I left them with.

I wish I had reacted to their admiration of me by being a good example to them as a man and given them some guidance as a comedian, including because I admired their work.

The hardest regret to live with is what you've done to hurt someone else. And I can hardly wrap my head around the scope of hurt I brought on them. I’d be remiss to exclude the hurt that I’ve brought on people who I work with and have worked with who’s professional and personal lives have been impacted by all of this, including projects currently in production: the cast and crew of Better Things, Baskets, The Cops, One Mississippi, and I Love You Daddy. I deeply regret that this has brought negative attention to my manager Dave Becky who only tried to mediate a situation that I caused. I’ve brought anguish and hardship to the people at FX who have given me so much The Orchard who took a chance on my movie. and every other entity that has bet on me through the years.
I’ve brought pain to my family, my friends, my children and their mother.

I have spent my long and lucky career talking and saying anything I want. I will now step back and take a long time to listen.
Thank you for reading."

Lena Dunham verdedigt producer beschuldigd van verkrachting, fans zijn razend

Uitgesproken feministe Lena Dunham, bekend van de serie ‘Girls’, verdedigt haar collega die beschuldigd werd van verkrachting. Murray Miller, een schrijver en producer voor de show, zou actrice Aurora Perrineau in haar slaap hebben aangevallen.

Perrineau en Miller zouden elkaar ontmoet hebben op een feestje, in 2012. Miller vroeg een lift naar huis aan één van haar vriendinnen, en de actrice zou met tegenzin mee in de auto zijn gestapt. “Op een gegeven moment werd ik naakt wakker in zijn bed,” zegt ze. “En hij had op dat moment al seks met me. Daar heb ik ook geen enkel moment toestemming voor gegeven, en ik schrok verschrikkelijk. Ik ben er echt door getraumatiseerd.”

Lena Dunham spreekt zich nu uit over het voorval. “De vele getuigenissen uit Hollywood die we de laatste weken te horen kregen, zijn broodnodig. Maar we moeten er rekening mee houden dat drie procent ervan valse rapporteringen zijn. Omdat ik Murray heel goed ken, ben ik er volledig zeker van dat dit een zaak is binnen die drie procent.”

Lena maakte duidelijk dat ze “geloofde in het doel” van alle vrouwen die nu naar voren komen met hun verhalen, maar dat ze eerst en vooral haar eigen vrienden wil beschermen. Dat schoot in het verkeerde keelgat bij vele fans, die haar hypocriet noemen.
“Lena Dunham is een groot voorvechter van vrouwenrechten,” klinkt het. “Tot er iemand wordt beschuldigd die ze zelf kent.”
