Ok, there was one thing I felt I needed to clarify, but couldn't find a way to fit it in naturally. Some of us, like yourself, do get it, but often encounter pitfalls even if they don't directly relate to Disney. Prior to the scandal, I've never once heard everyday people drop Weinstien's name in casual conversation like they would Madonna, Gwyneth Paltrow, George Clooney, Ben Affleck, or most of the other people who were seen with him on the red carpet. Yes, I knew who he was and even heard rumblings about him being a creep, but I (like most of us on here) am more observant of certain cultural figures even if I don't take particular interest in what they do or in Weinstien's case, most of the movies he backed. To put it simply, we're all at least a little bit nerdy here and even if we're not follower of someone/something, we typically have at least a better passing awareness of them/it than a sizable percentage of general public who doesn't know jack about anything.
I clicked on your link and no article came up, so I don't know what it was. This is what I'm referring to, from the Hollywood reporter article.
A legal defense rests on ignorance that the conduct was "unwelcome", ie it is difficult for an employee to claim harassment if they did not let the person know it was unwelcome, neither avoided the behavior nor registered a complaint. The caveat on reporting is if someone else witnessed the behavior, eg another supervisor or mgmt.
Per Title VII 1964 Civil Rights Act - two types of sexual harassment - (1) harassment that involves the conditioning of employment benefits on sexual favors, [quid pro quo] and (2) harassment that, while not affecting economic benefits, creates a hostile or offensive working environment.
No need for a compulsive liar to provide proof?
Your links went nowhere...well nowhere relevant.
I know this was talked about earlier in the thread, that he admitted wrongdoing. He did no such thing. He apologized to anyone who may have been on the receiving end of an unwanted hug, or any other gesture they felt crossed the line in any way, shape, or form.
I have to think if he was fired in 36 hours, they had the goods on him, video or otherwise.
or, they know a lot more than what is being reported.
It's odd, but I've never had to deal with the SJWs of which so many of you complain. I guess I'm too busy having to deal with the racist, homophobic, old men who dominate the area in which I live.
Yep, my mother is one of those bible thumpers against Harry Potter. Never mind the values it promotes or the morals the stories encompass.
The wolves comment is interesting at the end...seems they're sympathetic towards John Lasseter.
Iger has to protect his Teflon coating.
